THE MULTIVERSE; BEYOND ONE REALTY

This book explores the vast and complex idea of the multiverse by blending science, philosophy, and theology into one narrative of possibility. It begins with the lexical horizon, defining the multiverse as a collection of possible universes, each with its own laws, constants, and realities, beyond the single continuum of space-time we know as the universe. The text introduces scientific frameworks such as the inflationary multiverse, where cosmic inflation gives rise to bubble universes, and the quantum multiverse, where Hugh Everett's many-worlds interpretation suggests every quantum outcome exists in its own parallel branch. It expands into the string landscape multiverse. The discussion then moves to the black hole multiverse, where collapsing stars may seed new universes, and to Max Tegmark's mathematical multiverse, where every consistent mathematical structure is real. Philosophical interpretations are also examined, including David Lewis's modal realism, Plato's theory of forms in the Platonic multiverse, and idealist views that locate worlds within consciousness or the divine intellect. Theological perspectives enrich the picture further, suggesting God could create or sustain multiple worlds as part of divine will. In its entirety, the book presents the multiverse not as a single hypothesis but as a spectrum of scientific, philosophical, and theological visions, each grappling with the nature of existence, identity, and reality itself.
