    I can’t buy into the idea of multiverses. Sure there’s an infinite possible variants but not an actual infinite number of co-existing possibilities. At what point us it decided that another varient is created? Also try tying that into the theory that there’s no actual thing as free will due to predetermined particle interactions.

      You can’t buy the idea of it because you don’t understand the theories around it?

      That’s an odd stance.

      Would it not be better to respect and explore the idea instead of trying to dismis is through ignorance?

        Why do you think that I’m being willfully ignorant and not trying to learn? (Maybe using the phrase ‘cant buy’ is too informal/misleading). Can we not learn through discussion of our beleifs/understandings/theories etc? I have stated why I don’t think there are infinite coexisting universes, discuss or not as you please.

        Also, disrespectful? What on earth are you talking about? How have I been disrespectful to anyone?

      That sounds like a misunderstanding of “infinite”

      There’s no “creation of a variant” - the assumption is that if there is something with x possible outcomes then there have always been x sets of universes where that occurs… Also a lot of the particle interaction theory can be waved away with subparticle theories - that particle can’t interact if it changed state or decayed or whatever and if you have enough of that then it could have a decent impact over 14 billion years or so

      As a direct result, there is no universe for something which is not a possible outcome, as alluded to in the op
