We've only got imagination.
If there are people existing anywhere who know the absolute truth of life, then that would be all of us.
No big deal.

If by "everything," you mean "everything," then everything SHOULD be possible -- even the absurd, the contradictory, the unscientific and the irrational combination of opposite attributes. However, if there is a limit on the kind of "everything" that "everything" can be, then the existence of that limiting principle needs to be explained...and the universe is not infinite, but is bounded by laws of some kind...at least laws against the existence of silly contradictions and scientific impossibilities.Atla wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 3:12 pmNo idea if that would be possible or not. I guess you can't have a Superman made of six particles, or a male female (?), as for the rest.. yeah, I guess that should be possible?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 3:02 pmSo...your supposition would be that somewhere in the "multiverse," Superman is real. He works at "The Daily Planet," flies around, and is susceptible to Kryptonite...but he's also female, purple, canine...and made up of six particles of styrofoam...
Or is it maybe better to specify the limitations on "everything"?
I wrote everything that can exist naturally. I of course have no idea what naturally really means here beyond what we can extrapolate from our universe, but I guess the supernatural and the contradictory isn't part of it.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 3:43 pmIf by "everything," you mean "everything," then everything SHOULD be possible -- even the absurd, the contradictory, the unscientific and the irrational combination of opposite attributes.

I think it's the most rational postulate right now, as crazy as it sounds. I admit that it's batshit crazy, and it's unproven, but still the least batshit crazy idea I can think of.But there are several other reasons why the idea of "multiverse" is an irrational postulate.
Don't know what you mean. I'm entertaining some version of this idea right now, so I guess the idea is possible. But my idea is that everything can exist naturally, does exist.This is just one of them. Namely, that we have no sensible way of thinking that the idea of "everything being possible" is actually itself possible.
Yeah multiverse theories have become pretty mainstream in physics in the last few years. I think it's mainly because decoherence theory and string theory, and yes also because of gravity.Philosophy Explorer wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 3:59 pm Since gravity is weak and theories say it's leaking in higher dimensions, then I say the odds are better than 50/50 there is a multiverse.

No I don't. I guess supernatural would be something that's not natural, but I haven't come across any such thing yet.
Yes, from an Eastern nondualism point of view, I'm certain. I have no idea how you could read the books of Eastern teachers and think that they were talking about Gnosis or Pseudo Advaita?
