How To Use Multiverse Portals
In recent years there have been many claims made for “evidence” of a multiverse, supposedly found in the CMB data (see for example ). Such claims often came with the remark that the Planck CMB data would convincingly decide the matter. When the Planck data was released two months ago, I looked through the press coverage and through the Planck papers for any sign of news about what the new data said about these multiverse evidence claims. There was very little there; possibly the Planck scientists found these claims to be so outlandish that it wasn’t worth the time to look into what the new data had to say about them. One exception was, where Planck looked for evidence of “dark flow”.
They found nothing, and a summarized the situation:“The Planck team’s paper appears to rule out the claims of Kashlinsky and collaborators,” says David Spergel of Princeton University, who was not involved in the work. If there is no dark flow, there is no need for exotic explanations for it, such as other universes, says Planck team member Elena Pierpaoli at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.

Multiverse-Portals is a complement to Multiverse that is relatively easy to use (like Multiverse-Core). Here is a short outline of how to use Multiverse-Portals to.
When we calculate the size of the induced dipole in our theory and convert it into a bulk velocity dispersion, we will see that for the constrained values of our parameters we arrive at a velocity dispersion of order 670 km/sec, remarkably close to the observed value of 700 km/sec.One might think that the refutation of their prediction by the Planck data would be a problem. Instead though, the Sunday Times reported a few days ago that.

The story got picked up by other news outlets, and appeared in the Daily Mail as. Can you provide a link to the New Scientist article that you quote above? Also, it is unclear if Mersini-Houghton and others are talking to the press about a new paper where they discuss their analysis of the planck data. Is this the case or are they talking to the press in anticipation of a new paper?I am also looking forward to a follow-up on the claims by Penrose and Gurzadyan regarding evidence for Conformal Cyclic Cosmology found in CMB data. I wonder if the planck data will be used to bolster or refute these claims that seem to be still alive and kicking.
Nasren,I don’t think the problem here is the journalists, who are just reporting the exciting news about hard evidence for other universes and great progress on the disembodied brain front that they are hearing from physicists. Michio Kaku did seem to once get to Strassler, but in general he doesn’t appear to think this kind of behavior by scientists is worth commenting on.It’s a plausible idea that if most prominent theorists just ignore it, Multiverse-mania might go away on its own. My suspicion is that most physicists subscribe to this. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be happening.
“Michio Kaku did seem to once get to Strassler, but in general he doesn’t appear to think this kind of behavior by scientists is worth commenting on.”Strassler might want to rethink things because the house of physics is becoming an Augean stable and if the interested and responsible parties can’t or, possibly worse, won’t clean up the mess, eventually the government is going to.seriously. curtail its funding. And then you’ll see see how far some noveau-riche Russian oligarch’s money is going to get a very few of you – with the rest of you driving taxis or teaching algebra and geometry in high schools across the land.
Peter,Your criticisms of the Dark Flow are quite unfair. Just because it could be explained by a multiverse, does not mean it would need to be explained that way.The idea of the dark flow was that galaxies have a preferred vector of peculiar motion, which would break the anisotropy assumption that is fundamental to cosmology. There is definitely a coherent linear flow in the nearby universe up to several dozen megaparsecs, and people have debated whether this is due to a “great attractor” (a nearby supercluster), statistical coincidence, or a dark flow. If Planck is correct then it may just be a 1 in 20 statistical coincidence or so that affects the local volume.Regardless of whether a preferred peculiar direction of motion for matter would be due to a multiverse or not, it is a legitimate scientific test to conduct, to investigate, to write papers about, et cetera.

It doesn’t need to exist, but it could have existed as dark matter and dark energy (for example), certainly exist, and dark radiation is now a 2-sigma phenomenon. The Friedman-Robertson-Walker-Lemaitre metric from General Relativity, that is the foundation of cosmology, predicts that there should be zero dark flow, similarly to how the standard model of particle physics predicts zero dark matter and zero dark energy. It is good and valid to test these things.I do however apologize for astronomers’ lack of imagination in naming mysterious phenomena. As such, please don’t turn into Dark Peter. To me, the strange thing is the very odd and unlikely model of a Boltzmann brain that always seems to be discussed: In short, a complex, fully formed, self-aware being appearing out of nothing. And the life support system capable of supporting the brain from local resources (wisps of left over hydrogen?) is never mentioned, despite the fact that without it the brain’s existence would be momentary.Far, far more likely would be the Boltzmann equivalent of a bacteria with a built in tendency to survive, reproduce and become more intelligent, much the way we current Boltzmann brains did it.

The only real difference being that Boltzmann brains are usually imagined as existing much later in the universe’s history when resources are much more diffuse.In fact, looked at like that, they become both familiar and very likely.
