Multiverse

• “... I wouldn't say, per se, that I am comfortable with the multiverse. What I would say is that I think it's a that we have in our toolbox. And when we are confronted with problems that we cannot solve any other way, then there are times when we might use that tool to see if it offers insight that we can't get using any other approach.”

• “The days followed one another patiently. Right back at the beginning of the multiverse they had tried all passing at the same time, and it hadn't worked.”

• “Those who assumed innumerable worlds, e.g., Anaximander, Leukippos, Demokritos, and, later on, Epicurus, assumed that they came into being and passed away ad infinitum, some always coming into being and others passing away.”

• “Desperation has led to a "dangerous" idea: perhaps we live in an anthropically selected universe. According to this view, we live in a multiverse ...it is not scientifically verifiable. ...it leads inevitably to a depressing end to science. ...it is far too early to be so desperate. This is a dangerous idea that I am simply unwilling to contemplate.”
