- CrankMyBlueSax, on 03/31/2009, -4/+51I want a universe with lots of boobies, beer, and no reality TV programming.
- pirlok, on 03/31/2009, -2/+38If we don't search it, we won't find it.
- TubzyX, on 04/01/2009, -1/+21doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of naming it a UNIverse?
- renesisx, on 04/01/2009, -0/+191994 called. It wants its web page design back.
- fyngyrz, on 04/01/2009, -0/+12> If we don't search it, we won't find it.
Yes. And if it, or they, aren't there - we won't find them even if we do search. The belief is not the fact, nor is hope.
Along these lines, recent research points to a possible explanation for why quantum math works out so strangely; the idea is that the underlying structure of the universe is fractal. You can read about it here:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20127011.600 ...
...summary/bottom line is, universe might be deterministic, singular, and not all that strange after all. It just looked strange because quantum math assumes a linear medium underlies the universe. If, however, it is fractal instead... then quantum math, to date anyway, is incomplete and that could be why it can't, for instance, resolve the position *and* the velocity of an orbiting electron at the same time. Fix the math, solve the problem.
And of course there are tantalizing fractal hints everywhere... the fractal structure of your lungs and circulatory system, the fractal nature of any shoreline, zebra coat patterns, seashell shapes, etc.
Be very nice to see quantum theory grow out of its strangeness. If this is so, then Einstein was right. Again. Nothing's playing with dice. Just fractals. :o) - anklesnap, on 03/31/2009, -0/+10overly cynical would say not in our lifetime...but maybe it is...
- theuniversal, on 04/01/2009, -0/+10If we discover another universe, then it's not really another universe is it.
- Krissam, on 04/01/2009, -0/+8i long for the day where people will stop misquoting that.
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? - Ragzouken, on 04/01/2009, -2/+10It makes a difference on whether we will 'discover another universe' which is the title of this article.
- Sublex, on 03/31/2009, -2/+10Are you feeling lucky?
- insanebrain, on 04/01/2009, -2/+9>"have discovered what may be"
AAAARGH .. tell me . ..tell me. . .what may it be ??? - voyetra8, on 04/01/2009, -0/+7This article is from April 10th, 2000.
Sigh. - insanebrain, on 04/01/2009, -1/+8Some people say the universe is endless, so by that definition the universe is 'everything'. So we are looking for another 'everything'.... hmm that doesn't add up.
- christoast, on 04/01/2009, -3/+10Sensationalism, in my digg?
Always. - roostersheep, on 04/01/2009, -0/+7I agree. The way I see it, anything that exists is within the universe, even if it doesn't appear to exist within the three dimensions. If there's anything that could be initially thought as 'outside our universe' then our knowledge of the universe has simply expanded.
/no scientific input what-so-ever. - IvenomI, on 04/01/2009, -1/+7Well? Are ya?
- Tallon29, on 04/01/2009, -1/+7Nope, but he does have goatse.
- thegrantman, on 04/01/2009, -1/+7More branes would solve this problem.
- insanebrain, on 04/01/2009, -0/+6*yawn*
- threemagic, on 04/01/2009, -0/+5Wouldn't that be a problem with it's name then: uni-verse
I can see finding other star systems and such but doesn't that still make up the whole universe? - christoast, on 04/01/2009, -0/+5Agreed. We have something called an imagination, we need to find a way to determine what is real and what ***** we just made up.
Science is humanities candle in the dark room - latrosicarius, on 04/01/2009, -0/+5What's probable? That we would discover another universe? Even if they exist, they would be completely closed systems and you could never detect or interact with one, other than possibly inferring that they *could* be there because of quantum superposition.
P.S. This article is dumb. There's nothing specific in it. Nobody "discovered" anything. It's just a generic review of a few different old multiverse theories. - DforSpiD, on 04/01/2009, -0/+5Why would our relative time make a difference on whether there are other universes?
It's only feasible if they are there... - pirlok, on 03/31/2009, -3/+8..punk?
- solid12345, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4Yeah but it was faster to read, look how far we have evolved with page design, 20 pages you have to click on for each paragraph and a ton of ads on each one!
- stk198323, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4The definition right now of universe is the world that surrounds us and in wich we can intereact.
But if something else exist in dimension that we can't interact with then logicly it's not in our universe because we can't mutually modify one another.
But then again it depends on how exactly you take the definition, some people would claim that since we are seing the other universe we are interacting with them. - bjs3171, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4you're missing the point, entirely. it's not something you'd just find around the corner. it's a purely theoretical idea.
- pyroguy56011, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4Out of all the shining examples where the statement is more true than you can possibly imagine, this is the article you choose to post that on? Stunning.
- jgoodstein, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3umm, if its the universe.. you can't find more then one.. as its singular. that would make what we currently view as a universe a smaller object. and the larger the actual universe.
- thefarside420, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3Well I can't look inside my head, but I'll take your advice and bash my neighbor's head in with a brick and look inside his.
- solid12345, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Is there a universe out there where Sliders was never canceled? Will we ever know?!
- RealmDown, on 04/01/2009, -2/+5"Except solving them." --RealmDown
- malanic, on 04/01/2009, -1/+4"And they could give birth in turn to other universes, creating a metaverse in which universes bud off of universes,,,"
If that's universally accepted, it should be taught at university. :P - thefarside420, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3Is there only one UNIcycle on the planet? No, there are many. Should we start calling them multicycles?
- christoast, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3Yes, I'll agree with that.
- XxtraLarGe, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Took the words right out of my mouth. It's funny how all theses scientists who claim to be rational love to dabble in metaphysics.
- beetjebrak, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Not *everything* on Digg needs to be about Ubuntu.. ;-))
- diggydougie, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Gotta come with a new word. Universe means everything. And I do mean everything.
- davdev, on 04/01/2009, -1/+4The difference between theoretical science and religion, is the science admits that it doesn't yet know all the answers and they are doing their best to interpret the data before them. If it turns out that the math is flawed, then the interpretations will change to adapt to the new evidence.
Religion never adapts to new evidence and holds onto its "truths" despite all evidence to the contrary ... see Creationism - ScreenRant, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3They need a new web designer. What the heck is up with that 2 inch width for the article?
- KalZakath, on 04/01/2009, -1/+4Hugh Everett's many world quantum theory has been around for quite a while. It's supposed to have inspired quite a bit of SciFi stuff, as well as the Subtle Knife from His Dark Materials.
- hansrodtang, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3What is the definition of a "universe"?
- RyomaNagare, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Yeah, I can hardly wait for when they discover another posible universe where the quark mass might be 1.00124578 x10^ -589565 % less than in this universe.

<sigh>I wish we lived in a universe were SUPERSCIENCE was real - CrankMyBlueSax, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Next verse, same as the first.
- entropysteak, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2given the history of quantum theory, i don't feel that it will grow out of its strangeness but rather become far stranger than we currently understand.
- diggydougie, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2But UNI means one. As in one place. The universe is everything. Is they find out there are more time-space continums out there they still fall into the universe definition. They can keep discovering whatever they want. But in my mind it's all part of the UNIverse.
- Voster, on 04/01/2009, -1/+3Digg is a universe of its own, right?
- latrosicarius, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2we won't find them whether they exist or not; whether we search or not
- inactive, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Here's the second page, it seems whoever made the page link spelled the word 'another' wrong.
http://www.time.com/time/reports/v21/science/anoth ... - inactive, on 04/01/2009, -1/+3why stop at another. there could be billions of different universes. just remember. in the universe, there is never one of any natural occuring thing. contemplating such things boggles the mind.
