I'm not seeing what is fake physics regarding the Nautilus article. Seems the points are legitimate. A single universe implies Boltzmann brains. The multiverse makes statistical prediction unworkable. Easy to see this from a machine learning perspective. So, we need something else.
Fortunately, here is such an alternative theory!

- throwawaymath 8y agoDo you mind explaining why 1. a single universe implies Boltzmann brains, and 2. a multiverse makes statistical prediction unworkable? The link you provided is taking a while to load for me, but if it's easier to just throw another link at me I'm fine reading that instead. I mainly want to understand why what you're saying is true.

This manifests itself in various ways with current cosmological models. http://cosmos.nautil.us/feature/120/the-crisis-of-the-multiverse http://cosmos.nautil.us/feature/120/the-crisis-of-the-multiv... My solution is to posit the universe was created by a halting oracle, and this allows us to assume perceived order is real order.
