Dr. Leonard Susskind from Stanford gave a lecture a few months ago stating he's presenting a new paradigm in astrophysics knowing the fact that the universe appears infinite and how the multiverse could have been created from the original Big Bang. He stated that bubbles of many universes could nucleate based on random probabilities. Each bubble in the multiverse could expand on each own with different universal laws. But how could each bubble be maintained if there is no consciousness to witness each bubble event? The Srimad Bhagavatam presented a story that the universe or the multiverse could be maintained by the "prajapatis" or cosmic executives.
But how could these prajapatis cover the vast distances of the universe or multiverse. It would appear that they would have to travel instantaneously from one end to the other end. The story assumed that these prajapatis are humans from an earlier yuga or epoch. Was it possible that humans from the previous epochs were spiritual and had no material bodies? Some thoughts from St. Thomas Aquinas could apply here. He conjectured that there are angels or spiritual and intelligent beings in the universe that can cover the various events and places in the universe instantaneously. However, Susskind did not use angels as the possible agents of consciousness for the multiverse. Rather, he used the "Olympian gods" as the possible agents of consciousness.
