What the universes mean
The multiverse; but there’s a problem the way it seems. Something
seems off about this kind of theory. Initially, I thought that the
multiverse was a great theory. But I think that what many, maybe even
everyone, doesn’t realize, is that the effects of just about everything and
anything that happens in our own universe, effects EVERYTHING; that is,
it also has effects on other universes; one example is gravity. Even though the
effects might be infinitesimally small in another universe, I don’t see how it
would be possible, given our current understanding, to impose limits that would
probably have to be infinitely strong to not allow for the forces and effects
of one universe, or in this case, our universe, to not overlap (in a sense) into
many other universes. Using this logic, I think that all universes actually are
most likely to belong to one universe, since no universe can interact
totally independently of one another. Let me give an analogy: There are
various planets in the universe, and although from our understanding they
seem to be “functioning” totally independently, and therefore are a totally
seperate entity, from one another, there’s still gravity to consider,
which can have an effect on all other planets. And maybe
even other things. For example, think about a planet’s atmosphere; one
particular example that can come to mind is the sun. The farther something is from the sun, the less atmosphere there is. However,
the atmosphere might never truly end, no matter how far you’d be from the
sun. The atmosphere starts out extremely dense, then as you were to move
ever farther from the sun, the atmosphere would thin out and it’d get
gradually colder. But even here on Earth, we can still feel the effect of the
sun, and in fact, we are to some extent inside it’s atmosphere, and is the
reason for the various geomagnetic effects such as aurora, and ground currents.
Now let’s take this logic to a universe; even if a single subatomic particle
exists, that will bring the entire universe to reality. A particle doesn’t even
have to move in one direction or another, to have an effect on the entire
universe. That’s because particles have a spin, and are made up of condensed
energy, and they can exert a force. The illusive graviton, which hasn’t yet
been discovered, but is thought to exist, is a great example. The thinking from
now on should be totally straightforward, but in case you don’t understand, I
will try to explain further. When a particle gives off energy, in the form of
waves, those waves will most likely travel throughout the entire universe,
even if the waves dissipate over distance. And there’s no reason, at least as
far as I see, to think that these waves should stop at some magical point at
which some inexplicable force or power reverses this energy, but instead I
think, or expect, that the energy would dissipate ever more gradually, but never
actually disappear altogether. A soap bubble might seem to be isolated totally from the rest of the world,
and from other soap bubbles. However, what seems like a totally definite
boundary to the soap bubble is merely an illusion, because what happens inside
of the soap bubble can still affect what is happening on the outside, although
the effect is usually so small that it goes totally unnoticed. And if what’s
inside of the soap bubble, such as air molecules, can find their way through the
boundary, to the outside, then they can also affect other soap bubbles. In the
same way, what’s inside our own universe can have an effect on what’s happening
in other universes. The conclusion that I have reached, based on this thinking
so far, is that all universes that might exist are actually an extension of our
own universe, and all universes interact with each other. And who knows, maybe
this is also true for consciousness; everything that we think, it somehow might
have an influence on all other universes. Let me introduce you now to my final
thoughts about this:
At first, I thought of the multiverse as a (literally) infinitely unsettling thought,
one that would isolate us all, and that would mean that anything is possible
(in particular what is undesirable), and a paradox. Yet I have a better
understanding of the universe because of my thinking.
