[QUOTE=pyschomc;26684334]Think of the possibilities guys all sorts of universes Pokemon Digimon Halo MAss effect think of the possiblities that family guy multiverse come into mind.[/QUOTE] You need to get your priorities straightened out if you're trying to list examples contained inside a multiverse.

[QUOTE=farmatyr;26684382]Which means it's certain we will live the exact same life once again. It's like throwing a dice, one day the exact same universe will be created. Since we lose perception of time the moment we die we will instantly be reborn, without the knowledge of our previous lives. I hate to think about it.[/QUOTE] I don't want to live this life again, and I don't want to know that I've lived it before. My head... I'm outta here.
So there is technically a universe where all matter is jellybeans? This new discovery is truly delicious.
[quote]If indeed the spots are found to be “cosmic bruises,” it would lend a lot of credence to the idea that there are other universes out there that at some point collided with our own.[/quote] Let me see if I understand that right: So other universes have collided with our own, but we are still here? Does that mean that when two universes collide, that they bounce of each other? :psyduck:
With all these new discoveries about space, I think pretty soon I'll go insane like in H2G2 when you looked through the telescope and understood the whole universe.
How can two 'things' (universes) which don't even operate under the same laws even collide in the first place? Stick a ferromagnetic piece of metal in a magnetic field and it'll interact with it. Stick a chunk of bark into a magnetic field and bugger all will happen. Why should two universes be able to interact if the laws on which they operate are different?

Normal things, even humans, can do it as well, if placed in a strong magnetic field. Although the majority of ordinary materials, such as wood or plastic, seem to be non-magnetic, they, too, expel a very small portion (0.00001) of an applied magnetic field, i.e. exhibit very weak diamagnetism. The molecular magnetism is very weak (millions times weaker than ferromagnetism) and usually remains unnoticed in everyday life, thereby producing the wrong impression that materials around us are mainly nonmagnetic. But they are all magnetic. It is just that magnetic fields required to levitate all these "nonmagnetic" materials have to be approximately 100 times larger than for the case of, say, superconductors. This experiment was conducted at the Nijmegen High Field Magnet Laboratory.[/quote]
Like for multi verse let say you do a different action. persee but in that different universe, you instead did the other action? Correct?
[QUOTE=bravehat;26689337]Because the universe presumably float around in some sort of inter-universal medium and the boundaries of the universes are a similar material or structure so they can interact.[/QUOTE] I was thinking that. That the ultiverse (what I'm gonna call the ultimate universe that all of the other universes are contained within) has its own set of laws which each universe within it is bound to. But then how to separate universes form with different laws? Where do they come from? How do they pop up? [editline]15th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=rosthouse;26689346][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEC9G8JUKW8[/media][/QUOTE] I'm well aware that EVERYTHING (we come across in our daily life) is, to a degree, magnetic (not everything is, however (see the end of this post). I'm quite knowledgeable in physics. I'm trying to put what I'm thinking in terms of something that most people will understand. Why should two things interact when the rules governing them are totally separate of one another. I don't expect gluons to interact with electrons after all (or photons to interact with quarks).
Isn't this a part of M-theory? The belief that there's other universe separate from our own?
[QUOTE=Detective P;26689761]Isn't this a part of M-theory? The belief that there's other universe separate from our own?[/QUOTE] Yeah that is one of the implications, and this could be the first proper evidence for it.
Well, it's all good and well that there's evidence of other universes, but we have yet to discover whether or not it is possible for matter and energy to exist outside of a universe, even if the membranes are semi-permeable as bravehat theorised... And what of the "inter-universal medium" that bravehat theorised? Perhaps it is the dark matter and dark energy that has eluded us for decades, bleeding through the skin of our dimension?

I didn't theorise shit, I hypothesised and speculated, get those terms correct so people stop devaluing scientific theories.
I've always thought that there can only be one universe. Guess not.
[QUOTE=bravehat;26690026]Theorised? I didn't theorise shit, I hypothesised and speculated, get those terms correct so people stop devaluing scientific theories.[/QUOTE] Wow I was just about to mention this.
This just in: Researchers know more about universes that are so far away we have no method of measurement or variety of words to comprehend it's distance or irrelevance, but we still don't know everything that's in our own fucking oceans.

[QUOTE=farmatyr;26690556]We don't need our oceans to understand our universe.[/QUOTE] But we do need our oceans to, you know, feed a massive percentage of our population.
[QUOTE=Haywood;26686293]Is our universe being beaten by her husband?[/QUOTE] No, it just ran into a doorknob. [editline]14th December 2010[/editline] A universe doorknob, that is.
Universes. Bouncing off each other. :wtc: [editline]14th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=MovingSalad;26690610]But we do need our oceans to, you know, feed a massive percentage of our population.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah I remember, this is the part where MovingSalad comes into the astronomy/cosmology thread and declares astronomy and cosmology useless. :downs:
[QUOTE=Turnips5;26690658] Oh yeah I remember, this is the part where MovingSalad comes into the astronomy/cosmology thread and declares astronomy and cosmology useless. :downs:[/QUOTE] Usually with the arguement that we don't know enough about our own planet. I understand that this is an extremely interesting and fascinating subject, it's just too bad that we still don't know secrets about our earth yet.

As long as you respect the fact that scientists can't just direct all their efforts to one thing (the whole "why aren't we curing cancer" fallacy) and you understand that a great deal of us think astronomy and cosmology are wonderful, uplifting subjects that we pretty much NEED to hear more from, I'm okay with that.
Sounds right up the alley of DC Comics lore and the 52 universes.
Talking about separate universes is a bit overwhelming.. But.. as we know, we are stars children. Star exploded, scattering atoms and shit around, creating our sun and our planet and other planets, huge luck, a very long time, and life was born as we know it today. Now, there are a whole lot of stars, even the one that keeps us warm throughout our lives, waiting to be exploded and "creating" another sets of planets/suns and all.. Now what conclusion am I left to draw? A very wide-range cycle happening everywhere all the time, or so it seems to me. Is this just far-fetched and goes against some other proven theories? :v:
[QUOTE=bravehat;26686356]So the reapers are real. Well, better get building those orbiting rail gun defence nets! :v: [editline]14th December 2010[/editline] [b]If there are infinite universe then yes, but there won't be, that requires an infinite amount of energy in existence across all off existence.[/b] Also this could explain dark energy, could be repulsive forces leaking through universal membranes into our universe, which means that universes aren't necessarily isolated and transport across the membranes are possible in some way.[/QUOTE] Whats to say there is a infinite amount of energy in a infinite amount of universes? Nothing. Whats to say there is a finite amount of energy in a finite amount of universes? Nothing.
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;26686275]I kind of think the gravity of this discovery is escaping you.[/QUOTE] Maybe he's in one of those other universes that have different laws of physics?
