Evidence of the existence of 'multiverse' revealed for the first time by cosmic map

Is our universe merely one of billions? Evidence of the existence of 'multiverse' revealed for the first time by cosmic map
Scientists studied radiation data gathered by Planck telescope

Claim anomalies show gravitational pull from other universes

Could be the first real evidence to support controversial theory

The first 'hard evidence' that other universes exist has been found by scientists.

Cosmologists studying a map of the universe from data gathered by the Planck spacecraft have concluded that it shows anomalies that can only have been caused by the gravitational pull of other universes.

The map shows radiation from the Big Bang 13.8billion years ago that is still detectable in the universe - known as cosmic microwave radiation.

all involved in a grand experimentof evolution to see if mankind doesn't ruin them?

Here (wherever that is) on our version, we fail.

Rod Sterling would appreciate that idea.

So many things we consider science fiction and woo - well, the truth might even be wilder.

I love this shit.

To expect the background radiation to be uniform throughout is ridicules. The matter we know about is not uniform, so why should the background radiation? We don't even know where the 'center' of the universe is. We really don't know much more than that we are on the outer edge of a run of the mill Galaxy. We think the universe is 13.8 billion years old, because that is all the farther we can see. We mold the rest of the facts to fit. We haven't figured out where all the matter came from, or how it could all come from a small singularity. Where did that singularity come from? We have barely begun to even scratch the surface of what is to be learned about what's out there.

And as for other universes - Why not? This one obviously exists. Only our arrogance would tell us, we are all alone in infinity.

So I don't think it's arrogance to have qualms about the concept now. We're still crunching the data and we will be for quite a long time.

I think time is all around us all the time - everything that was and is and will be.

We just have to find out how to break those barriers.

Put musicians and artists in the same room as the scientists crunching data and you will always get the same answer : our big back was just the hot dense crap sucked in and then exploding from some other universe's black hole

All I know is we know jack.

And we should honor those using their allotted precious time trying to figure it out

God was quite open about there being many other Gods but we are only supposed to worship him and not the others. I guess it is the same with Universes.

If these other places apart from our known universe exist, if there is any detectable connection to or effect from these other realms, then, technically speaking, they're just other parts of an even bigger, grander, multifaceted universe than known universe.
