That is, the physical universe is not merely described by mathematics, but is mathematics — specifically, a mathematical structure. Mathematical existence equals physical existence, and all structures that exist mathematically exist physically as well. Observers, including humans, are "self-aware substructures (SASs)".
The question does not include the timing of when anything came to exist. Some have suggested the possibility of an infinite regress, where, if an entity can't come from nothing and this concept is mutually exclusive from something, there must have always been something that caused the previous effect, with this causal chain (either deterministic or probabilistic) extending infinitely back in time.
Enter the realm of the multiverse and alternate realities, one of the most glorified canvases in popular culture's recent years — and a repository for the ache and longing of living in an era of ...
Nothing would. As things stand now, the whole universe should have annihilated itself. But, obviously, the universe has not annihilated itself. After all, we’re here to ask all these probing ...
The quantum-mechanical "Schrödinger's cat" paradox according to the many-worlds interpretation.In this interpretation, every quantum event is a branch point; the cat is both alive and dead, even before the box is opened, but the "alive" and "dead" cats are in different branches of the multiverse, both of which are equally real, but which do not interact with each other.
The multiverse: Multiple universes exist, having all possible combinations of characteristics, and humans inevitably find themselves within a universe that allows us to exist. Intelligent design: A creator designed the Universe with the purpose of supporting complexity and the emergence of intelligence.
Another possibility based on M-theory and observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) states that the universe is but one of many in a multiverse, and has budded off from another universe (e.g., one that macroscopically looks like static empty space) as a result of quantum fluctuations such as quantum foam, as opposed to our universe ...
