Protocol (General)
All I would want to say is that the relationship between the universe and the laws of physics is not arbitrary or casual.-My thinking exactly > > there could be other regions just as vast containing 'tons' of matter/energy/? pulsing to its own drummer. Perhaps there is even some manner in which the regions interact. The scale is mind boggling but less troubling to me than imagining the borders of a single universe where space and time begin or end with a bang.-I'm still quite comforable with our one universe. We can't prove or observe the others, and there is no proof that 'chaotic inflation" created multiple universe regions connected to this one (Linde-Valenkin). This one universe is headed for heat death in 100 billion years, it seems. Unless I reincarnate, so what. Of course, I'm working from conclusions of my own.
