Episode 13: On The Natural State Of Nature Episode (13) - The True Nature Of What An #Infinite #Multiverse Really Means
Manage episode 355426536 series 3445112
There is a very sharp divide across our species. There is one portion (and I don't think that it is even close to half ) who firmly understand the most paradox free method of explaining existence is an #eternally #infinite #multiverse and a second portion who firmly believe existence can be either finite in time or finite in space or both. There is no in between. There may be some who claim to take an agnostic approach to the topic but most would still fall into one of those two divisions even if they don't realize it yet themselves. Which portion do you fall into ?
When we really take a moment to try to interpret what general relativity and special relativity are trying to tell us it becomes clear that all we can know of our existence is our relative time and our relative space. Infinitesimal cross sections of a much larger succession of parent frames of reference. Our entire visible universe nothing but a point in time and a point in space. Forged across a discrete span of relative space across a discrete span of relative time thanks to the intersecting paths of two much much larger parent frames of references far far removed from the parent frame of reference our visible universe is most Absolutely hurling through right now.
Our visible universe almost certainly has siblings all sharing the same relative trajectory and relative velocity playing follow the leader(s) as part of an infinite succession of nested pockets of spacetime across an infinite number of separate nested pockets of relative pressurized spacetime massenergy heatradiation. We may be in orbit and have an orbital period no different than how Sagitarius A* has an orbital period around the Great Attractor which itself is in orbit around the Shapley Attractor. We likely have an approximate axis of rotation and rate of rotation as we revolve around our denser sibling(s).
Or is our universe the dense parent dragging all its children along on its journey just as the sun drags us and we drag the moon?. That is almost certainly a question we may never be able to actually confirm!! But please my friends do not mistake that for meaning that its unknowable nature means its not really happening!
Embrace at the very core of every standard model the premise, not speculation of eternal time and infinite space and build from there and watch nearly all the current mysteries of science literally unravel at out feet.
Live Long And Prosper
