Lawson, Your understanding of the multiverse is different from what Michio Kaku is telling. He states that the multiverse is a conglomeration of separate universe bubbles floating in an ocean of nothing. In MMY speak, the ocean of nothing is equivalent to the Unified Field. It appears that your model of the universe is similar to what Alan Guth is theorizing (Eternal Inflation Theory). Nonetheless, here's an interesting lecture by Leonard Susskind entitled, "The World as a Hologram": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DIl3Hfh9tY Based on my understanding of this lecture, it would be possible to see other galaxies, perhaps even universes, that are beyond our observable horizon. Also, it could be possible to decipher the information from the microwave background. In other words, scientists could decipher what happened at the instant of the Big Bang, and maybe even what happened before the Bang. You guys should watch the clip. You may have other insights about Susskind's proposal. JR
