Second Coming: Extending the Entertainment

Has the Universe been replaced by a Multiverse?

In the novel, Paul Genet tells his story to the abbot of a monastery he seeks to join. After Paul finishes, the abbot asks Paul questions to further help decide whether to admit him or not. Here, Paul comments on the latest obsession of physicists from Hawking on down: the death of the universe and the birth of―drum roll, please―the multiverse. —Editor

Abbot: Has the universe been replaced by a multiverse?

Paul: By multiverse, I take it you mean the concept derived from the mathematics of string theory whereby there exists an infinite number of parallel physical universes covering every possible contingency. Logic requires that one of those contingent universes be self-contained, that is, consistent within itself so that other universes are not necessary.

That singular universe is my universe where all things are One through balance. My universe is the non-local universe of instant connections described mathematically by Bell’s Theorem in 1964 and confirmed experimentally by Alain Aspect and his team of physicists at the University of Paris in 1982.*

^* Non-local in quantum physics means instant connections across the universe as if time and space did not exist. Increasingly sophisticated scientific experiments since 1982 have verified non-local connections which Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.” —Editor

Paul’s idea of a single quantum universe and how that could be possible is explained in the following links:

Balance as the operating principle of the universe and Balance as the hidden variable of quantum physics

‘Second Coming’ protagonist, Paul Genet, answers questions about his universe:

What is time?

Why is there something rather than nothing?

What is the true nature of existence?

Does God exist in the balanced universe of Paul Genet?

Does life exist elsewhere in the universe?

Is the universe a computer?

Will there ever be a coherent theory of quantum gravity?

Is Schrödinger's cat both alive and dead in a balanced quantum universe?

What is memory?

What is the origin of language?
