The multiverse refers to the hypothetical set of all universes. Together, these universes are presumed to comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them1.
Imagine a vast cosmic family, where each universe is like a distant relative, sharing some fundamental characteristics but also having unique features.
Types of Multiverse Models:
Inflationary Multiverse:
One popular multiverse hypothesis arises from the concept of inflation shortly after the Big Bang. During this rapid expansion, other regions of space could have also inflated, creating separate universes.
These universes would be disconnected from ours, and their physical properties (such as particle masses, charges, and space expansion rates) might differ.
However, detecting or directly observing these other universes remains a challenge.
Many Worlds Interpretation (Quantum Mechanics):
In quantum mechanics, the Many Worlds Interpretation suggests that every time a particle (like an electron) has multiple possible outcomes, each outcome occurs in a separate universe.
Imagine a branching tree of parallel universes, where every quantum event leads to multiple realities. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been making waves in the scientific community, but let’s clarify a few points related to the multiverse:
Parallel Universes?
While the JWST hasn’t directly found evidence for parallel universes, it has revealed fascinating insights about our cosmos.
For instance, it has provided clues about the origins of the universe, including the period 11 to 12 billion years ago-just 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang.
The JWST once captured an image of a purple galactic swirl, reminiscent of a Marvel multiverse portal. Although no superheroes emerged from it, the visuals resembled what we think our own Milky Way looks like
