It includes living things, planets, stars, galaxies, dust clouds, light, and even time. Think about the word "universe." When people use this term, they tend to refer to all that exists.Īs the European Space Agency explains, "the Universe is everything we can touch, feel, sense, measure or detect. So, what is the Multiverse? A hint is somewhat in the name. What exactly is the multiverse? Source: NASA Some scientists believe our universe might just be the tip of the iceberg. What do you find? Would you see that there is just much more universe to be discovered? Or, would you fly out of our own universe into another? Would you be surrounded by a host of other "bubble" universes, each just as big as our own? Or, depressingly, would you find absolutely nothing? With your unlimited life at hand, you decide to hop into an interstellar spaceship and journey to the edge of the universe.Īfter traveling billions of years, (or maybe less), you finally reach the end of the universe. Thanks to his Neuralink device, you have left your human body for an eternal robotic one.ĭeath is a thing of the past, and you can instantly 3D-print new robotic parts when things become faulty. Imagine Elon Musk has given you the ability to live 1000 years into the future. All aboard for a journey to the edge of the universe Source: matjaz slanic/iStockīefore we dive a little deeper into the nuts and bolts of the idea of the Multiverse, let's first conduct a little thought experiment. However, the Multiverse theory is not as straightforward as you think, and in some cases might be even stranger than in the movies. Though, at times it may seem like merely a fascinating plot device, like a lot of science fiction, some of the ideas behind it are based on real science. Aside from time travel, it has to be one of science fiction's favorite tropes. You are probably familiar with the idea of a multiverse. Welcome to the concept of the Multiverse. It is no secret that our universe is unimaginably large, but just like there are many galaxies in our universe, could the same be true for the number of universes "out there"? astrophysicists have come to understand that there may potentially be trillions of galaxies in our universe.
This discovery demonstrated that there were galaxies outside our own. Using the help of his "computer" (someone tasked with examining photographic plates in order to measure and catalog the brightness of stars), the astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Hubble would later discover that M31 was a galaxy, which would eventually be dubbed the Andromeda Galaxy. This was strange because, at the time, astronomers had estimated that our galaxy was only about 200,000 light-years across.
