Physical Review D, 2011 I consider a landscape containing three vacua and study the topology of global spacelike slices in eternal inflation. A discrete toy model, which generalizes the well studied Mandelbrot model, reveals a rich phase structure.

How Does Multiverse Proposal Affect the Design Argument?
Religions, 2022 Recent observations suggest that many fundamental physical constants and conditions in our universe are fine-tuned for life to exist. This provides an important piece of evidence to support the Design Argument and the existence of God in the philosophy ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We propose a new scenario of nonequilibirum multiverse. We quantified the potential landscape and the flux landscape for the multiverse. The potential landscape quantifies the weight of each universe. When the terminal vacuum with zero (flat) or negative

Sensitivity Analysis: A Practical Guide to Teaching. [PDF]
Risk AnalABSTRACT Sensitivity analysis is the process of attributing the variability of model outputs to uncertainties in input parameters and assumptions. Why is this technique important? Which methods and concepts should be prioritized in teaching it? And what instructional strategies are best suited to different audiences?

Journal of Optics, 2010 Optical space in metamaterials may be engineered to mimic the landscape of a multidimensional Universe which has regions of different topology and different effective dimensionality. The "metamaterial landscape" may include regions in which one or two spatial dimensions are compactified.

Multiverse Assumptions and Philosophy [PDF]
Философия и космология, 2018 Multiverses are predictions based on theories. Focusing on each theory’s assumptions is key to evaluating a proposed multiverse. Although accepted theories of particle physics and cosmology contain non-intuitive features, multiverse theories entertain a ...

The Skeptical Challenge of the Theistic Multiverse
Ergo, An Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2023 The multiverse theodicy says that because God can without cost create an infinite number of universes, the standards of acceptability that a conceivable universe must meet to be worthy of divine creation are significantly laxer than is typically supposed

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We consider multiverse models in two-dimensional linear dilaton-gravity theories as toy models of false vacuum eternal inflation. Coupling conformal matter we calculate the Von Neumann entropy of subregions. When these are sufficiently large we find that

The Multiverse and Divine Creation
Religions, 2017 I provide the account of divine creation found in multiverse theorists Donald Turner, Klaas Kraay, and Tim O’Connor. I show that the accounts Kraay and Turner offer are incoherent.
