She doesn't ever say its fiction, just not science, which is probably why if you take a university course in quantum mechanics, they might spend at best one lecture on the various interpretations (philosophy), but spend the bulk of what is a science course on actual quantum mechanics theory.Is the multiverse science fiction only? — TiredThinker
If you feel gracious, you could label Many Worlds and Multiverse theories" as what-if "thought experiments". But, a lot of science fiction probably starts out that way. However, Some prominent scientists seem to take those conjectures seriously, as valid interpretations of Big Bang & Quantum paradoxes. Perhaps, because they see no other viable alternatives to the religious implications of a Creation Event, and an upward-pointing vector of Evolution & Time. However, Sabine prefers to call a spade a spade, and an imaginary reality an article of faith.Is the multiverse science fiction only? Sabina seems to think so. — TiredThinker

If we can model our reality better with multiverse models than without, then why wouldn't it be science?
Everybody ought to understand that it's a model of reality, not reality itself. — ssu
So I attempt to make a clock and if it doesn't work and has no resemblance to a working clock, I'll just say my clock works just fine ...it's just not in this reality.There is a reality for each and every model, as implied and expressed by the models. Not the other way around. Choosing to call one of these realities 'reality itself' or 'really really real' is a personal choice no matter how many people are convinced otherwise. — magritte
that's one way to think about the multiverse I guess — ssu
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
