I don't know about you guys, but I was brought up with the mind-boggling assumption that our universe was infinitely spaced, causing my brain to switch to nuclear meltdown every time I even tried to comprehend the thought. Kind of like the Heroin Hero game in South Park where you keep running to catch the dragon even though you know that the game's programmed for you to never reach it.
No worries though, because things have just gotten even more perplexing.

| Our universe has taken a good beating. |
Contrary to popular belief, recent scientific studies have indicated that our universe might just be part of an awfully bigger picture, being just one of MANY multi-verses, each 'verse (as it were) contained in their own ridiculously massive bubble.
Say what? Some physicists have begun to raise questions about the multiverse theory in freshly published papers exploring traces of heat radiation left over from the Big Bang using Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This is pretty much the most legitimate way of being able to sift through the masses of background noise and otherwise unnecessary data. In this case, physicists have been using CMB methods to search for disc-like imprints that might suggest bruising from collisions with other bubble universes. Furthermore, if this multiverse theory proves to be true, it raises a number of questions that could ultimately compete with the once believed infinite distance of the universe; how many other universes are out there? Do they follow alternative dimensions of space and time? There is no saying whether our own laws of physics and nature are universal, or multi-universal.
It's a hard thought to get your mind around, you know, knowing that your whole life has essentially been within the confines of a massive terranium orb.

ReplyDeleteTrue that - but I find it fascinating regardless!
