What is your fundamental moral compass?

By that logic, my grandmother existed before Neptune.

The definition if existence IS this universe.

universe=everything that exists anywhere.
doesn't seem, to me, confining. How is it David that you do?

Y do u so confine it? Convenience?
If so, then Y not confine it to your own town?
For your better convenience, Y not confine it to a radius of ten feet of u?

This explains how a photon or an electron or a man can be in 2 places at once.
There r plausible, quantum based, mathematical theories
of an infinite number (is that an oxymoron?) of alternate universes.

That is not science. That is philosophy.

I dont confine it so...the definition of existence is based on effect and interrelationships within this universe. If something has no effect whatsoever on anything in this universe, has no chance of being observable before after or during any process in this universe, then it does not exist.

The contortions this idiot is going through will make it impossible to sustain a personality. I wonder who he was last time.(?)

Here we see the problem with talking completely out of your ass.

Neither you, nor anyone else can possibly know what will or won't be observable in the future.

You continue to make a fool out of yourself by pretending to have knowledge you couldn't possibly have.

And lots of things continue to exist, regardless of whether or not some know-it-all moron is capable of knowing about it.

No. Quantum Mechanics are adroit at explaining the microcosm.

There are no alternate universes.

There has been a serious effort to attach the religious part of the human mind to science.

The alternate realties is based on the variables in quatum particle theory.
If you go looking for the mass of a particle it can not be predicted where it is. Thats it. Thats the whole basis.

I surmise that u have checked them all, to make sure that thay do not exist.

Does that putative effort impair the abilities of other universes to exist??

Particles are posited to exist in more than one place at the same time.

...unfortunately we have reached a level or reality where everything we hold dear in this level is false. Solidity, mass...these are illusions at the atomic level carried into that world by our prejudices of this one.
