@Zed: I'm assuming you're talking about the necessary/contingent distinction?

I'm not sure which of my posts you mean (not that I've bothered to look back and see what I said in any of them) but I think that came up in this thread, yeah. A "parallel" universe is one which is not necessarily false but is contingently false.

Ah, but if somethings contingently false, isn't it also contingently true in another world? :P

My point is that the whole "many worlds" thing is just a metaphor to explain what "contingent" means. The other worlds don't actually exist.

There are a lot of things the human mind can't contemplate or even grasp. It's kind of like space. It's so huge and immense that most people shut it out from their minds. It trully amazes me how people can simply walk around and look up at the stars and shrug it off like it's nothing. Space is probably the most taken for granted thing ever. Alongside that would be our own planet Earth. It's huge and can sustain a massive amount of life on it. Who's to say that Earth itself isn't a huge super organism? Hmm you are right sacred earth might be alive.and space is taken for granted.i never even thought of that.

If theories are things that are existent but can't be simplified down to analytical statements, then basically everything within this Universe (or for the sake of this thread, the Multiverses) is theoretical simply because life itself is way to complicated for the average human mind to understand.
ok you have a point

yeah, that last point of mine was just to try needle you :P
Aaaanyway, i do agree that the concept might have arisen from an attempt to explain the necessary contingent distinction, HOWEVER, just because the origins of the concept arrive from a metaphor doesn't rule out the possibility of there coincidentally being other worlds? does it?

just imagine: our universe is just a particle in a another more gigantic world, and the same applies to them, and the same applies to the particles we have, and keeps going on forever.

Ever stare at the clouds and feel so small? (i only feel that way when its cloudy out but not rain clouds) or look at the stars and think what if we can travel between them? i would love to see the universe but first i would have to see Polaris up close
