The Skeptical Challenge of the Theistic Multiverse

open access: yesErgo, 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

Complementarity in the multiverse [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2009
In the multiverse, as in AdS, light-cones relate bulk points to boundary scales. This holographic UV-IR connection defines a preferred global time cut-off that regulates the divergences of eternal inflation. An entirely different cut-off, the causal patch, arises in the holographic description of black holes.

Islands in multiverse models

open access: yesJournal 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

At the Crossroads of Time, Science and History [PDF]

open access: yesIncursiuni în imaginar, 2020
Our paper is searching for historical and discursive contexts which might explain the sudden flare-up of the idea of parallel worlds in the science, history and literature of the mid-20th-century.

Quantum Cosmology with Third Quantisation

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
We reviewed the canonical quantisation of the geometry of the spacetime in the cases of a simply and a non-simply connected manifold. In the former, we analysed the information contained in the solutions of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation and showed their ...

Multiverse Meta-Analysis: Proposing an Exploratory Framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
openMultiverse analysis is a statistical approach in which researchers present all the results deriving from all combinations of arbitrary, but plausible decisions involved in every data analytic process (instead of focusing on a single result ...

A Traveler’s Guide to the Multiverse: Promises, Pitfalls, and a Framework for the Evaluation of Analytic Decisions

open access: yesAdvances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, 2021
Decisions made by researchers while analyzing data (e.g., how to measure variables, how to handle outliers) are sometimes arbitrary, without an objective justification for choosing one alternative over another.

Is the Quilted Multiverse Consistent with a Thermodynamic Arrow of Time?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2018
Theoretical achievements, as well as much controversy, surround multiverse theory. Various types of multiverses, with an increasing amount of complexity, were suggested and thoroughly discussed in literature by now.
