Instead of one big bang, imagine an infinite number of big bangs, all colliding on a cosmic scale in time and space. That’s not necessarily a multiverse, but it is a megaverse with universe as the old paradigm.

- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoYou've just moved the "what caused the..." question up another level and then pleaded that your new level is somehow more special than the previous level without any actual justification. It's turtles all the way down and gods all the way up.
- drdeca 4y agoSo what you do is you form a ordinal-indexed hierarchy of “why”s, And then you go up a universe level so that the class of ordinals in the lower universe level becomes an actual set and not just a class, and then you somehow (exactly how... remains to be seen) appeal to Zorn’s lemma , and construct a why-of-all-whys that explains everything in the lower universe level. And you call that thing [ERROR: NOT REPRESENTABLE].

- robg 4y agoYes, just why assume a multiverse and not a megaverse? Of course, the superhero movies (which I enjoy) give an unrealistic view of what a multiverse would be.
