Martin Rees On The Multiverse, Scientific Research & Reality

Posted by Hemos on from the life-the-universe-and-everything dept.

There's an interesting piece by Martin Rees about the nature of the Uni/Multiverse, as well as some of the underlying mechanics. Also, a good bit on the nature of scientific research. You can get the text or the Real version. Good stuff.

    I'm a personal fan of the multiverse of Mage; particularly the Gauntlet and Avatar Storm =)

    All these multiverse ideas lead to a remarkable synthesis between cosmology and physics, giving substance to ideas that some of us had ten or 20 years ago. But they also lead to the extraordinary consequence that we may not be the deepest reality, we may be a simulation.

    Whoa, deja vu!

    What?

    I just read a sentence, then a second later I read a sentence just like it.

    How much like it? Was it the same sentence?

    It might have been. I'm not sure. What is it?

    A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.
