Multiverse…

July 29, 2010 by dberenstein

There are entire libraries of coffee table conversations about the multiverse. A lot of them explore the what if and are usually fun over a couple of drinks. When its done professionally however… On second thought I think I’ll not go there this time around.

There is an online comic that is devoted entirely to the bizarre occurrences of the multiverse: it is aptly called “Scenes of a multiverse“. I recommend it highly. Usually you can expect intelligent Hamsters and evil geniuses running amok.  The one today is particularly apt if you’re up to snuff on the inner debates of academic multiverses: that it is a dream of something (aka, the simulated universe, aka The Matrix) and that there is no testable prediction, but postdictions aplenty. Or at least one.

If you’re in the mood for it, you might want to read some of the books by Michael Moorcock. They give you a different view of the multiverse.

    Are Hampsters always deified by proper nounification in the multiverse?

    Hi Aiche:

    I don’t make the rules. My guess is that anything goes, so the answer is no, not always, but certainly sometimes.

    Ha! I’ve been reading Goats (rosenberg’s other comic) for over 10 years now and I somehow missed the link to this comic when he started it. Guess it’s good for me to read blogs mostly about things I don’t understand for the occasional serendipitous happenings.
