It is not nonsense. It is abstract thinking of the highest level. To claim it is nonsense, you have to provide something, anything to argue it is impossible. The whole theories on the possibility of multiple universes are hypotheses, proposal of an idea. Since we have no way to test the idea it is simply unfalsifiable, not nonsense.

I can't prove it is right, but I can't prove it is wrong, either. The 'sample size' of universes we have to explore is one, therefore, all we cn argue is that only one exists that we know of .A skeptic on this concept accepts the possibility that there might (or might not) be universes beyond ours. I can't believe either because I lack data.Right now, the evidnce tells us there is only one universe. Now, from that, it can be asked, "is there any reason there can't be others outside ours?"

The concept of multiple unierses simply postulates that the entire setting of reality could allow for the existence of multiple universes. I can't verify this, but to the limited extent I understand string theory it is theoretically possible, We have no evidence that it is possible. We also have no evidence it is impossible. But maybe I am incorrect, and there is some condition in physics that makes one or more external hybrid univers(s) separate from this one impossible. Please be so kind as to tell me what that is.

That is just one of a few theories.

When Young performed the experiment, using a modified setup, it seemed to establish that light was a wave and not a particle.

Or was it?

I just did some research into dimensions and fo7nd that it is not a priority for them to be orthogonal (perpendicular).
Maybe they need to reconsider their priorities.

That makes sens if I understamd what you mean By orthagonal/perpendicular, If I understand from the definitions, time (the 4th dimension) can only be entered at the point one is currently at, and can only move in one direction.

Not true, think of the xy plane.

I once wrote a blog post years ago titled "I'll take Dimensions for 10, Alex." If I can find it on the Wayback Machine, I'll repost it.

Lol, so the universe revolves around you, eh?

Then you are cordially invited to go away. I'm sorry for how you didn't have a choice and were forced to read this thread. Oh wait, you weren't, were you? If you don't want to be here or participate, well, "don'r let the screen door hit you on the ass on your way out."

But you just mentioned Hugh Everett's many-world interpretation just a couple posts ago :razz:

You people need to do more research on your dimensions.

This is one of my favorite experiments on the subject of dimensions.

For instance, imagine a dimension where I did not just get savaged online.

Some think that when you make a decision you "fork" the current universe, and it begins at that choice while the choice you did not take - and everything occurring therefrom - stays behind in that universe.
Hugh Everetts Many worlds 🌎 interpretation of quantum mechanics is what you are referencing. The poor guy was laughed out of physics for his theorem. Now, the mathematics are leaning on the side that his theory is probably true.

The omniverse is what the ultimate structure is called.
