Origin of Life

[AProudLefty]

Everyone keeps talking about THE universe.

What if there is more than one?

What there are an infinite number if them?

What if THE UNIVERSE is a collection of ALL universes?

[BidenPresident]

What if THE UNIVERSE is a collection of ALL universes?

what about it? What constitutes its unity?

[AProudLefty]

what about it? What constitutes its unity?

The answer is in The Urantia Book. Supposedly there's 7 multiverses. The unity is God himself.

uh huh, God. great

I love the metaphysical implications of modern physics.

If I recall correctly, the multiverse was theorized as a way to get out of the implication of quantum mechanics that reality is probabilistic, not deterministic.

String theory implies universes with 11 dimensions. Holy smoke!

Let's face it, modern physics, cosmology, abiogenesis are just freaky topics which provide fertile ground for dummies like us to engage in arm waving.

Then you go to the multiverse. Not one universe, many multiverses.

Yes, I know that.

But the multiverse and the universe - or rather A universe - would be different things.

Or at east one would be part of the other and thus referenced separately.

Odd you think of yourself as a dummy.

Uh huh, Joke great.

Not really. Multiverse replaces the concept of universe.

No offense, but, not wasting my time with you.

Absolutely.

I don't pretend to have even the most tenuous grasp of any of it.

But it's fun to imagine.

I like to imagine that every person who's ever lived has had not just his/her own reality, but several realities that branch off in different directions at crucial points within their lives.

And that these realities continue on and on until every infinite possibility has occurred.

And they are all occurring simultaneously.

What is that supposed to mean? I was just joking. Do you know what The Urantia Book is?

[Cypress]

Odd you think of yourself as a dummy.

In a thread which invokes cutting edge genetics, Aristotle, quantum physics, string theory, I am a relative dummy.

So be it.

[PostmodernProphet]

I am hoping we find microbial life in our solar system. Otherwise we will never really know if life on earth is unique, or whether life is an expected outcome of chemistry and physics.

unless of course God created that as well.......
