QUOTE: "To say that the universe is one of many parallel ones is just one of many possible explanations. Being confined to this point in time and space in a potentially infinite universe where we have only been observing its expansion for the last 100 years, we can hardly make such bold claims. The answer is neither “we are special” nor “many universes”, it is “we don’t know”.

An answer which of course extends to all the major questions we keep asking!

DAVID: We should not let our confusion about quantum reality to drive us to the nutty conclusion there are multiple parallel universes.

Perhaps we should not let our confusion about all aspects of reality drive us to any nutty conclusions at all!
