In summary, a child universe is a theoretical concept in cosmology proposing that our universe is one of many, each with its own physical laws and properties. The creation of a child universe is purely hypothetical and may occur through bubble-like structures or the collapse of a black hole. Currently, there is no way to travel to a child universe, but it may be possible in the future as technology and knowledge advance. The existence of child universes, if proven, would have a significant impact on our understanding of the universe. However, it is currently impossible to prove or disprove their existence. Advancements in technology and new discoveries may provide evidence in the future.

Recently I read an article about Japanese scientists trying to create a miniature universe. The article was pretty old, 2006. Does anyone know the status of this experiment, or know where i can read more of their present progress?

The idea is related to Smolin's cosmic natural selection hypothesis. I presume the paper you are referring to is

The universe out of a monopole in the laboratory?
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0602084
by Sakai, et al.

He has collaborated on these papers since

FAQ: Is the Japanese Miniature Universe Experiment Still Ongoing?

What is a child universe?

A child universe is a theoretical concept in cosmology where it is proposed that our universe is just one of many universes that exist, each with its own physical laws and properties. It is believed that these universes may have come into existence through a process similar to our own universe's Big Bang.

How is a child universe created?

The creation of a child universe is purely hypothetical and is based on various theories in physics and cosmology. One theory suggests that child universes could be created by bubble-like structures forming within our own universe, while another suggests that they could be created through the collapse of a black hole in another universe.

Can we ever travel to a child universe?

Currently, there is no scientific evidence or technology that would allow us to travel to a child universe. The concept of a child universe is purely theoretical and beyond our current understanding of the universe. However, some scientists believe that it may be possible in the distant future as technology and our knowledge of the universe advances.

What implications would a child universe have on our understanding of the universe?

If the existence of child universes is proven, it would have a significant impact on our understanding of the universe. It would challenge the idea of a single, unique universe and open up a whole new realm of possibilities and questions about the nature of our existence and the universe itself.

Can we ever prove the existence of a child universe?

Currently, there is no way to prove or disprove the existence of a child universe. It remains a theoretical concept that is still being explored and studied by scientists. However, with advancements in technology and new discoveries in physics, there may come a time when we can gather evidence or observations that support the existence of child universes.
