The fact that no one knows the answer to this question is what makes it exciting. The story of physics has been one of an ever-expanding understanding of the sheer scale of reality, to the point where physicists are now postulating that there may be far more universes than just our own. Chris Anderson explores the thrilling implications of this idea.
Some string theorists believe there could be as many as 10^500 universes out there. If it’s to be believed, we will have moved from the idea of an Earth-centered universe prior to the 16th century, to the notion of a single, sun-centered universe up until the 1920s, now to the multiverse. What’s the psychological impact of this progression? What does it suggest to us about ourselves?
