CONCEPT OF THE

MULTIVERSE

The multiverse theory states that our

world is not just one universe, but
actually a collection of individual
universes that pop in and out of
existence.
 In simpler words, somewhere, within
the quantum foam of existence,
amongst the very building blocks of
reality, there is a universe

WHERE YOU..... ARE

BATMAN
A variety of different theories
lend themselves to a multiverse
viewpoint

• In some theories, there are

copies of you sitting right here
right now reading this.
• In other universes and other
copies of you that are doing
other things in other universes.
• Other theories contain parallel
universes that are so radically
different from our own that they
follow entirely different
fundamental laws of physics.
 Alternate
Universes
• Since we live in a multiverse, there are
an infinite number of alternate
universes that exist simultaneously with
ours.
• Our world is not unique.
• Not only could there be multiples of
objects in other universes, but also
multiples of people, places and events.
 Three main Proofs of
the Multiverse Theory

Eternal Inflation

Dark Energy

String Theory
 Eternal Inflation
Theoretical
physicist, Alan
Guth,
discovered that
gravity could
work in reverse
(the Big Bang)
• Russian physicist, Alexander
Vilenkin, realized that this
inflation could not be
stopped, that it is in fact
eternal
There was a infinite
number of bangs
before our "Big Bang"
and there will be an
infinite number of
bangs after ours
These other bangs are
what create the other
universes in our
multiverse
DARK ENERGY

Stated previously, the universe, or multiverse, is

expanding.
The expansion of the Universe has not been
slowing due to gravity, as everyone thought, it has
been accelerating.
 • Some kind of energy is counteracting gravity and
pushing everything away from everything else
faster and faster.
• This unidentified energy is called dark energy
• The observed value for dark energy is trillions of
times smaller than the theory and scientists
predicted.
• Decimal followed by 122 zeros and a one.

 String
Theory

Requires at least nine dimensions

• These different dimensions make
different laws of physics possible
 Surprisingly, observational tests of the
Many have argued multiverse picture may in fact be
that the multiverse possible
theory is unscientific,
because it cannot be
tested, even in
principle.

• collision of our expanding bubble with

another bubble in the multiverse
would produce an imprint in the
cosmic background radiation a round
spot of higher or lower radiation
intensity
• A detection of such a spot with the
predicted intensity profile would
provide direct evidence for the
existence of other bubble universes
