Comment Explains creation of Universe, but not Metaverse (Score 1) 429
It’s all well and good to say our Big Bang was an inevitable quantum fluctuation in some frothy Metaverse, but then the real question becomes where the Metaverse comes from.
Whether Metaverse or not, I tend to believe the true answer is something close to Max Tegmark’s Mathematical universe hypothesis. There isn’t really any physical substance, we are the actualizations of pure math. This universe is just one of an uncounatable infinity of universes that exist because the are mathematically consisitant.
Take the equation for a parabolla, it isn’t complex enough to contain self aware entities, but if it where then it’s Big Bang is at y=0 for y=x^2. It is silly to ask what comes before 0 in the parabolla universe, similarly is is silly to ask what comes before the Big Bang, Time started at 0 because it is just a parameter in the etenal framework of math. The true Universe then is etenal and unchanging, it is math, our perception of time just the unfolding of following one particular parameter in a multidimensional equation.
