@Ionus,
Quote:In the BELIEF that you found the discussion too difficult, I shall continue .
No just busy. (And BTW... I'm not impressed by your ability to cut and paste) Also in my haste, I colored the wrong section of your quote. What I meant to take exception to was the idea that the universe had any size at all at the moment of creation...that very very singular start. Your question regarding if our universe would be destroyed by quantum fluxuations that create other verses in the multi-verse that could collide with ours is a possibilty...maybe even inevitable. We just may not be around to know and if we are we wont know it happened...we'd be gone in a nano second (or less)
So what stops that from happening now and eliminating our universe ? Do you know how much energy is required to turn quantum foam into anything of size ? And what made the randomness ?
I am quite familar with the Casimir effect and the dissusion of zero point energy. This is not however to what I refer.
Nothingness is merely the absence of the arrow of time. What lies out side our universe, and outside the multi-verse is that nothingness where these fluxuations occur.
I believe we will in my/your lifetime prove the exsistance of a dimension outside the 3 and time we know. And if there is one there would in all probability be an infinite number.
Quote:Does not exist . Empty space is full of Quantum Foam . Or not .
Not true or even thought to be so. The quantum foam is not in our universe or in the empty space of our verse. It is out side of it. Think of 2 separate relms. (A simplified explaination but easier to wrap your Newtoian practiced mind around) The quantum foam, the area of the muti-verse (in this, time does not exsist, hence there is nothing, which in fact is something, [you keeping up?] and then our verse that makes its own space. (not within the multi-verse but within our verse...still with me?)
Quote:To take this unknown and extrapolate multiple universes is simply trying to fill every void with knowledge . Maybe we should admit we will never know everything . Incidentally, if they do exist, religion came up with them first .
Now this is gibberish...I have no response.
Have a nice day.
