The boundaries between individual universes

AI Thread Summary
Many scientists propose the existence of multiple universes, with M-Theory suggesting as many as 10^500. The discussion centers on the concept of boundaries between these universes and what defines where one ends and another begins. Some participants suggest that these boundaries may exist in a hyperspace continuum that is not directly observable within our own universe. Brian Greene's book "The Hidden Reality" explores these ideas in depth, offering insights into the nature of these boundaries. The conversation highlights the complexity and intrigue surrounding the multiverse theory.

Many scientists believe that there are many universes. The M-Theory states that there are 10500universes. If that is true. What is the "boundary" between them. In other words, the place where one universe ends and another universe starts, what is that like. I know this the most stupid question that's ever been posted in PF but still, please share your views on this topic.
 
Space news on Phys.org
"The Hidden Reality", latest book by Brian Greene, discusses this subject in all its gory detail. It's a fun read.
 
Mdmaaz, in my cosmology, the only boundaries are in the hyperspace continuum that supports the actual spaces (like the one we're in), but is not directly detectable within those spaces.
 

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Rutgers finds a transparent Einstein Cross - apparently a dark matter "halo".'

The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...

Thread 'Big Bang and Infinite Universe'

Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
