¶ … multiverse is a line of thought that that proposes the existence of multiple universes. The hypothesis advances the notion that the set of multiple universes are what together make everything that exists physically and ever existed. These include the whole concept of space and time and all the elements in the universe together with all the laws of physics and the constants that govern the laws. The multiple universes can also be referred to as the parallel universes. The relationship in a particular multiverse and its constituent universes within it depend on the certain multiverse hypothesis that is taken into consideration.
The hypotheses that explain multiverse are from various areas of study. Ranging from astrology, physics, philosophy, cosmology, and fiction. The word multiverse however, was coined by William James a psychologist in 1895. Other referrals have been derived to mean the same as multiverse.Such words include alternative timelines, alternative universes, parallel worlds, alternative realities among others.
Several concepts have been derived to postulate the existence of the multiverse and multiple dimensions. It is indeed acknowledge that the structure of the universe is governed by the multiple dimensions concept. The concept of multiverse is not entirely new. This is because it was discussed in several ancient texts such as those of the Chinese and Sanskrit. Vedic cosmology point it out clearly that there exists countless number of universes which are held together in foam like substance atop a Causal Ocean. The universes however are separated from each other by shells which surround every universe.
Several new scientific theories have been advanced to explain the existence and behavior of the multiverse.The latest concept are the string concept, the superstring concept and the M-Theory among others. These latest concepts makes use of the extra dimensions of space which are more than the three dimensions that we are used to.The other six extra dimensions are however cannot be observed since they are compacted into very small dimensions. They occupy a space that is smaller than the Planck length.M-Theory is however made out of integrating string theory and others and is used to postulate additional dimensions like the ones in our universe.The universe is made up of multiple branes which interact with each other as suggested by certain theorist.In fact it envisioned than the branes are the spherical shells that are mentioned in the Vedic Cosmology.
String Theory
The String Theory suggests that the strings are capable of vibrating at different frequencies thereby creating different particle types in the process. The mechanism can be compared to the plucking of a guitar in order to generate different tones. This suggests that when the 'music' of the cosmos is played, huge and energetic particles are only created when faster string vibrations are initialized.
M-Theory
The M-Theory on the other side suggests that our universe and the other universes that make part of the multiverse were created as a result of massive collisions between the p-branes in the space with the other 11 and 26 dimensions. The number of dimensions in this case would depend on the observer's chirality. Individual universes take the form of D-branes. The other elements and objects that exists within each universe are held within the limits of the universe's D-brane.They however are able to interact with other universes by the action of gravity. This is possible since gravity as a force is never restricted to the D-branes.This is however contradictory to the universe as envisioned in the quantum mechanics concept of multiverse.Dispite the contradiction, both concept can still be put to action at the same time.
The accuracy of the predictions of M-theory is what will determine if it comes out as a unified theory. This will also determine if its theory can stand the test of internal consistency and whether it is a reflection of the physical processes in the universe. The knowledge of matter frequency has been around for several years and holds the potential of presenting...
