sjanich writes "The NY Times has a short, interesting article on multiverse theory. The author, Paul Davies, writes: 'This idea of multiple universes, or multiple realities, has been around in philosophical circles for centuries. The scientific justification for it, however, is new.' It is quite an interesting read. The author is a Physicist and pretty good science writer." Davies is not kind to the multiverse theory.
