We start with the question. Is there an infinite number of
universes? Is there only one or are there many? Such questions can not be
answered with certain confidence. There are theoretical explanations to explain
why both can be possible. But they fall in between the rift in scientific
understanding. Take for example the Quantum Theory. Nowhere in the Quantum Theory does it say that multiple universes exist. In quantum mechanics,
particles exist as waves of probability, in every possible state at once, until
an "observer" collapses the probability wave and forces it to behave
like a discrete object. But then take a look at string theory (A topic I hope
to cover more in the future) where there are many universes, it is noted for
being the best candidate for a “Theory of Everything”. These are looked
at as Branes (Not brains, but like membranes), which are little bubble
universes a symptom of the little multi-dimensional vibrating entities
known as “strings” that resonate inside the smallest areas inside the
smallest particles, not atoms, not sub atomic particles, but quarks and
leptons. Where inside these areas, strings that vibrate at certain frequencies
allow for the creation and interaction of matter in the universe.
In current news, a special telescope has been designed to
try and detect these multi-verses that are in existence. Know as the Planck
observatory. A space satellite observatory, utilises maps to observe intensity
and the polarisation of the CMS (Cosmic Microwave Background) which is
reminiscent of the big bang. This will allow science to determine any
collisions between ours and other universes that might of occurred early in
time.
