The result? Reality could be much stranger than any fiction in this world... and this universe. Fuelled by a series of Nova episodes (The elegant Universe, The Fabric of Cosmos), and a couple of books, 2012 re-sparked my always lingering interest in physics. This one answers (well, kind of) some of of most basic haunting questions: such as is the universe finite or infinite? what is the shape of it? I struggle wit the idea of limitless and yet finite on 3 dimensions (I'm ok with it on 2 and the ballon surface analogy).
I think I finally get the multiverse theory based on the inevitable repetition based on a finite (however large) arrangement of elements, if those rearrangements are infinite. And even just glancing at the implications you have to wonder:
Is living a multiverse the most significant or the most irrelevant discovery ever? I pondered this with Leon Marchebout on a terrace in Providencia, Guadalajara, and I concur that the answer is: both. Objectively, it can't have any effect in my life, or the life of my great, great, great grandchildren, or anyone I'll ever know. But we're subjective beings, and it does make a difference.
I, subjectively declare, that physicist's inference of Multiverse, is the most life altering concepts ever, and it just occurred in our lifetime.
