"Infinity is a limit and is not a proper number. No matter how big a number you think of , I can add 1 to it and make it much bigger. The number of numbers is infinite. I could never recite the infinite numbers, since I only have a finite lifetime. But I can imagine it as a hypothetical possibility, as the inevitable limit of never-ending sequence "-How the Universe Got its Spots

One school of thought is that there are other alternative/ parallel universes beyond our universe which are a Googolplex yards away. (The number Googol has 100 zeros after 1, then there is the number Googolplex which is a 1 followed by a googol of zeros).

Here theory of multiverse comes into the picture. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse), the multiverse is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including the historical universe we consistently experience) that together comprise everything that exists and can exist: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them.

Multiverses have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, transpersonal psychology and fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. In these contexts, parallel universes are also called "alternative universes", "quantum universes", "interpenetrating dimensions", "parallel dimensions", "parallel worlds", "alternative realities", "alternative timelines", and "dimensional planes," among others.

We will discuss this and more in our next posts....till then ciao....

"Conventional wisdom says the universe is infinite. But it could be finite, merely giving the illusion of infinity. This possibility has plagued philosophers and scientists since the beginning of the recorded history. but now modern science is starting to drag this abstract issue into the realm of real, the tangible and the observable."  - How the Universe Got its Spots 

The above quoted extract has caught my fancy these days.....All cosmologies have in common an attempt to understand the implicit order within the whole of being. In this way, most religions and philosophical systems have a cosmology....through this blog I attempt to understand the cosmos and our planet better by studying, sharing and feedback of the audience.....Amen!!!!!
