How many universes in the multiverse?

[Mason Michaels]

The only way you'll ever know what caused The Big Bang is through a Spiritual revelation!
Because before the Big Bang ONLY the spirit world existed!
A Spirit event caused The Big Bang

If by Spirit you mean scalar field, you would be correct.

Our post-inflationary universe might have just been one of infinitely many which came before ours. No way to know for sure, of course.

No! An event in the Spirit world caused a reaction which was The Big Bang and creation of the physical universe.

Maybe, who knows?

I am not a foot solder in the war between holy rollers and militant atheists, and think they are arguing over the wrong questions in a misguided attempt to claim victory over each other.

If there is a universal spirit, a creative force, a God, a Dao, or Brahman, I think a deep appreciation for mathematics and high energy physics might be a way for me experience and percieve some manifestation of an ultimate truth.

I don't think the number can be quantified. When we stop thinking there is one universe then the number is not determinable.

Agreed since infinite can't be quantified.

That's an limited anthropomorphic perception of time and space.

The mathmatics of scalar field theory, if it's correct, almost requires that a multiverse exist, but we just don't have any way to test the idea.

it isn't correct because time is an immovable force balancing expanding details with contracting results limiting expanding details never duplicated again with results never same form shaped since combined by molecular content or DNA reproductions changing current population total sum where each lifetime arrives a great great grandchild capable of becoming 1 of 16 great great grandparents 4 generations forward after birth.

It all develops when occupying space evolving here as reproductively present. Simple compounding whole be it inorganic or ancestral. the whole is equal to total sum displaced now.
