[ หˆmสŒltษชvษœrs ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

theoretical concept

The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple diverse universes, including the one that we live in. Each universe within the multiverse can have varying laws of physics, dimensions, and properties. The idea suggests that there may be countless universes parallel to our own, each with different histories and trajectories. In theoretical physics and cosmology, the multiverse is a popular concept that arises in the context of inflationary theory and interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Synonyms

cosmic array, omniverse, parallel universes

Examples of usage

  • The multiverse theory posits many possible worlds.
  • In some interpretations, the multiverse includes every possible outcome.
  • The concept of a multiverse challenges traditional notions of reality.

Etymology

The term 'multiverse' emerged from the combination of 'multiple' and 'universe.' It has roots in the early 20th century as scientists began exploring theories that went beyond the singular universe model prevalent in classical physics. The notion of parallel universes gained significant traction with quantum mechanics, especially in the 1950s when physicist Hugh Everett III proposed the 'many-worlds interpretation.' This interpretation suggested that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements occur, leading to the conception of multiple branching universes. In contemporary discussions, the multiverse has implications in cosmology, string theory, and the study of the universe's fine-tuning, sparking interest in not only science but also philosophy and speculative fiction.
