First Observational Test of the "Multiverse" 258
An anonymous reader writes "The theory that our universe is contained inside a bubble, and that multiple alternative universes exist inside their own bubbles – making up the 'multiverse' – is being tested observationally by UK physicists, who are searching for disk-like collision patterns in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Though CMB is generally thought of as a uniform schmear of radiation extending in all directions in our universe, in fact, they say if a multiverse exists, there ought to be imprints trapped in the muck like footprints of where our universe banged into others."

If universes can physically interact with each other, can each really be called a "Universe"?

Or maybe you just don't what what you're talking about, and think that playing a public game of semantics is a suitable replacement for knowledge.

Wow, you're just making it up now. Typical Libertarian. Go back to jerking off to pictures of Ron Paul, and leave serious historical and economic analysis to people who don't treat politics and economics like some sort of a religious statement.

If they could not physically interact, what would be the point? If something can't be seen, measured, felt, etc then how can it even be said to exist?
