Are Multiverses and Intelligent Life More Than Just Beliefs?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the belief in multiverses and intelligent life, with one participant arguing that the vastness of the universe suggests these phenomena cannot be singular occurrences. Others emphasize that scientific discourse should be based on evidence rather than beliefs, questioning the existence of any supporting data for multiverse theories. While some physicists consider the multiverse concept, the consensus remains that there is currently no empirical evidence to validate it. The conversation highlights a tension between speculative ideas and the need for scientific proof. Ultimately, the debate reflects ongoing curiosity about the universe and the nature of existence.

I believe there must be multiverses because I just can't see our universe being a one time event. Same for intelligent life. The magnitudes involved make it unlikely that anything is only going to occur once. Anyone else that believes this?

The universe doesn't care what we believe and on this forum, we go on science, not on beliefs. Do you have any evidence for the multiverse? If you do, you are the first.

Don't get me wrong, the proposal of the multiverse is taken seriously by some good physisicts, so it's not a banned topic on this forum, but so far there is zero evidence to support the theories.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread '3I/ATLAS, Interstellar Comet'

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
