Why We Think There's a Multiverse, Not Just Our Universe

An anonymous reader writes "It's generally accepted that the Universe's history is best described by the Big Bang model, with General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory as the physical laws governing the underlying framework. It's also accepted that the Universe probably started off with an early period of cosmic inflation prior to that. Well, if you accept those things — as in, the standard picture of the Universe — then a multiverse is an inevitable consequence of the physics of the early Universe, and this article explains why that's the case."

    You can't argue with idiots like Mashiki. He's the type of mental midget that's lied to himself so much that he no longer understands that the ACA is largely a product of the Heritage Foundation and conservative politicians back in the 1990's to counter Hillary's involvement in health care, and that the ACA has largely done what it's supposed to have done for the years it's been going in Massachusetts as whatever Romney called it there.

    He hates it for one reason only, the same reason republicans have been running around for 6 years trying to burn down the entire country: Obama. Why are republicans against the PATRIOT Act and the NSA programs now, when they're the ones who wrote it and pushed for greater surveillance: Obama. Why are they against the Afghanistan war now, when they pushed for it instead of simply extraditing Bin Laden (which the Taliban said they would do as soon as the US handed them evidence he was behind 9/11): Obama.

    The GOP and their teabagger fascist cult have only hatred of Obama, nothing else, for everything they do, and they don't give a damn how much damage they do to this country because of it.
