The multiverse self-originates from eternity. It has no origin. A single, solitary, finite universe originates in irrationality.Skepdick wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 2:56 amThat's demonstrably false.
You are conflating multiple issues here.Martin Peter Clarke wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 11:08 pm A single, solitary, finite universe cannot form itself, ex nihilo.
The (in?)finitude of the {uni|multi}verse.
The origin of the {uni|multi}verse.
You are conflating the complexity of {uni|multi}verse with the complexity with that which originates the {uni|multi}verse.
If X forms a universe; and Y forms a multiverse inhabited by universes then Y is more complex than X.
Assuming an infinite universe AND an infinite multiverse side by side - whatever the multiverse originates from is necessarily more complex than whatever the universe originates from.Martin Peter Clarke wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 11:08 pm Cannot be the only entity to come in to existence. Or be created by God. That would be infinitely more complex, require infinitely more upon infinitely more than an eternal infinite multiverse (of infinite of course), of 4-D m-branes colliding in 5-D bulk hyperspace or whatever. More so even than God doing the latter. Which at least would require one order of infinity less. Still too many of course.
You are seriously failing at this "ceteris paribus" thing...
Not nature. Or God.
