As soon as someone makes the claim that there are lots of other Universes, you've thrown out science and are just grasping at straws.<br /><br />"There are lots of other Universes out there, you just can't see them because they're invisible!"<br /><br />Uh huh.K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-44928391777503434852011-09-11T17:07:10.986-07:002011-09-11T17:07:10.986-07:00The other possibility is that there are in fact an...The other possibility is that there are in fact an infinite number of universes. So in some of those universes (one can argue that there would be an infinite number of these) the constants hit those wonderful values. Since we can only exist in one of those, we see what looks like fine tuned constants. <br /><br />I'd recommend for those interested to get a better description read Brian Greene's latest book "The Hidden Reality".Ohioan@Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650494620853971183noreply@blogger.com
