So I've been reading up on parallel universes and such, and for the most part they strike me as absurd. But in some sense I agree that because space is infinite (at least that's what it looks like) then there would be a 100% probability of any one thing occurring somewhere in the universe. We can't see it because our bubble is only as big as time and the speed of light will allow. But I have also read that the "Big Bang" (please no religious arguments... ) could actually have been a leak into this "bubble" from a universe next door. So that's the first point to discuss: this theory would potentially solve all the problems, expansion, etc. But if this happened, would that mean that the universe next to us is shrinking? Again, with the infinite probability, it has to happen somewhere. And is matter as we know it actually just spilling over? What could plug a universal "leak?" And if indeed this were the case, would it be possible to go through the hole into a whole different universe?
Discuss these and any other interesting cosmology questions. And please no religious arguments. I don't want this topic shut down.
