This very much needed to be said: #Manyworlds, the #Simulation hypothesis, string theory and intelligent design all share one thing in common. They are not science but speculative #metaphysics. There is no empirical evidence available to confirm them. #LostInSpace

Nothing wrong with 'speculative'
#metaphysics - metaphysics is fundamental to#philosophy. You might also describe the area as hypothetical#physics. Whatever the description, the bottom line though is the search for the truth & ideas are part of that -#Simitation. - 1 more reply

The unverifiable Multiverse and Mirrorverse, nice extensions of the Copernican Principle but the author states..."Theorists are very good at evading the traps that experimentalists leave for them. You’ll always find someone who’s happy to keep the idea alive"...

We wrote a prescient book and an article about the "a real scientific breakthrough" https://medium.com/discourse/the-quantum-bubble-8e9c3d9d1d92 … -- maybe the correction is here -- duty to investigate

If the maths works and helps make good predictions, who cares. I'm not going around chiding mathematicians for using imaginary numbers "because they aren't real (unintentional pun)"

What physics problem does a multiverse model help solve, though? It's less about the math (where you can model pretty much anything imaginable as long as it's internally consistent) and more about what it's actually explaining.

Finally! All the multiverse BS is exhausting.

Medieval theologians debated how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. String theorists replaced the angels with Calabi-Yau manifolds

Isn't the purpose of science the search for good explanations, although it helps to have empirical evidence also?

That’s science. Keep asking questions, make the wrong guesses, embody the wrong framework and eventually someone will find the proper experiment, frame of reference and discover just that much more order in the universe.
