      My Blog has an excellent graph of it. votedavedowling.wordpress.com/2018/10/09/space-time/ There is an infinite number of Big Bang cycles. As Energy is never destroyed or created AND nor is absolute zero a temperature ever reached. IMO there is only 3 places The other big bang cycles are. Either right here and unobservable due to Truths we have not yet discovered OR Outside of this Universe OR they are the other Galaxies in our Universe.. . .

    The big bang is only one local clock. That isn't multi-universes; rather one event of untold number that no-one will ever know. Multi-worlds is a fantasy based on mathematical machinations that emanates from particle to particle interactions. Wrong page. Law of conservation of Energy dominates; not, law of conservation of mass. Schrodinger's analysis is being misunderstood. The electron has no mass in my theory. It is photonic energy that's mailable to Qe interactions that displace a stronger quantum field density.

    Personally I'm not a fan of this particular flavor of multi-world interpretation. I do of course however consider it a possibility. I think one concern some people have with this kind of idea, is that if everything happens then what's the purpose of science or asking anything for the matter. And I think one thing that is easy to overlook, is that the space of all possible physically realizable states is not the same thing as the space of all states that we could imagine, and of that space of possible states, vast regions will be unstable or incoherent and without structure. Furthermore the causal relationships between the stable and coherent worlds of which we are familiar would emerge from underlying topology of the space of all possible realities. This topology would have structure and that structure would be worthy of question and study. But again I don't even strongly believe this kind of multi-world interpretation.

    Is the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics a challenge to science itself? I mean, previously our scientific theories were grounded in observation and experimentation to confim or deny those theories. If we now have a theory of how the world works, that even in principle, can not be verified by observation or experiment, is this theory, in our case the many worlds interpretation, can it really be called science?

    As someone who knows nothing about physics and math, my comment means nothing.. but I always wonder when data or math point towards things such as many worlds, I wonder if maybe it’s getting into an area of life that is beyond our limitation. Sort of like a being in 2D trying to comprehend and understand 3D. Maybe their data would suggest something weird and crazy, but it’s really just data within the limitation of 2D trying to make sense of a dimension beyond what can be comprehended. There is data, but it’s just illuminating a fraction of something unfathomable to us.

  • @carlodebattaglia6517
    @carlodebattaglia6517 Před 17 dny

    Very interesting. But there is a conceptual systematic mistake imho.
    Why should we take the Schroedinger Equation seriously? Let's think about that.
    Because the Schroedinger equation accurately describes phenomena that can be observed.
    Really, there is no other reason to take the Schroedinger Equation (or any other scientific theory btw ) seriously.
    Not because they are fascinating and complex mathematics. Not because a genius wrote them. Not because they might instinctively compelling.
    The only reason to take any scientific theory seriously is because it WORKS and we can CHECK that it works. Because there are data and observations to back it up. Because there is a correspondence between observed reality and its theoretical description.
    The many worlds framework, by definition and by admissions of its proponents themselves, is unobservable, unaccessible.
    Therefore, for the very same reason the Schroedinger Equation should be taken seriously, the Many Worlds Interpretation cannot be taken seriously.
    If by taking something seriously we arrive at something that cannot be taken seriously, perhaps we are not "taking it" in the right way.

Eternity therefore always first believes it exist(plays as an origin) to know that it always exist by always first believing it exist, the Universe is a reproductive state( the Universe never changes including always first believing it may always be changing).
