I would suggest that the multiverse concept is better thought of in
somewhat different terms. It's goal is not really to explain where the
universe comes from. (In fact, that question does not even make sense
to me.)

Hi,
I would like talk about this quote from an old topic:
This is a rather shocking conclusion. We are conscious here and

So why is it that from the 3rd person point of view everyone dies?
Also along the lines of the "Let There Be Something" thread, isn't it
also true that a finite set of finite histories, or even a countable

Perhaps I'm missing your argument here, but I gather you are claiming
that the assumption of a plenitude is on an equal ontological footing
as the assumption of a single reality, as both are ab initio moves,
not derived from any other principle.
Whilst I agree that nothing mandates one case or the
Hi,
as I said before I don't think/feel that single universe is on the same level
as multiverse... Just by using "absurd" feeling I was talking about. If there
is a single reality, you have to anwser why this one ? why like this ? what
is the ultimate reason for the reality to be limited to thi
Unfortunately lately I do not have the time to read and think through
each post but I would like to briefly point out that my approach has
the Godelian ingredients of completeness/incompleteness,
consistency/inconsistency and self reference. The power set of

Hi Tom,
I second Russell on this and would add that Leibniz's question "why this
and not some other" (or whatever the exact quote is) really bring the
question to a head. I would also point out that the so called "initial
