Is Multiverse Science? - S2:E13
from Physics to God · host Aaron Zimmer and Elie Feder
Multiverse scientists deviate from the longstanding scientific method, grounded in predictions and observations, by positing infinitely many unobservable parallel universes to explain fine tuning. They have subtly switched to a mathematically formulated philosophical theory about an infinite multiverse to explain the fine tuning of our one ordered universe. This episode justifies why the multiverse is not science, and supports this assertion through the words of prominent scientists who attempt to defend the esteem of science from the multiverse's corrosive effects.
