From the BBC:
Why there might be many more universes besides our own
…
The fundamental constants of the laws of physics seem bizarrely fine-tuned to the values needed for life to exist.
…
For example, if the strength of the electromagnetic force were just a little different, atoms would not be stable. Just a 4% change would prevent all nuclear fusion in stars, the process that makes the carbon atoms our bodies are largely made of.
…
This has made some people suspect the hand of God.
Yet an inflationary multiverse, in which all conceivable physical laws operate somewhere, offers an alternative explanation.More.
So there it is. Brits pay taxes for this, believing it is some kind of science. It isn’t. It is evidence-free malarkey posting as an argument against the existence of God.
The scandal isn’t that people front this stuff; it’s often entertaining. No, the scandal is that it ever came to be considered science and that anyone must treat it as if it were.
But people think voting for it proves they are clever, so …
Note: If there were a multiverse, it would never be possible to know because generally speaking, the same people believe that our brains are shaped for fitness, not for truth. Perhaps some day they will tumble to the idea that government should just legislate belief in the multiverse, sparing the need for evidence.
