If you believe in purpose then there is no purpose in a multiverse. Especially if you believe in a great consciousness with a purpose. When you think about it our universe is a multiverse. All scenarios will have taken place by the end of it. Every human being is a form of every scenario of the human experience
If I had an extremely fast lightning bolt, ball point pen the electric ink would bleed through (carbon copy less) paper immediately. If the universe started and ended at the same time, it's a reasonable representation.
Symes assumes that physical possibility is the same as metaphysical possibility, but that amounts to saying psychological constraints like laws of motivation are epiphenominal and have no genuine causal impact. If psychological laws constrain metaphysical possibility and all sentient creatures necessarily pursue goods, then Symes' assumption that the good and bad worlds balance out may be false, and the multiverse may in fact tend towards the good.
Thank you for making his pint without understanding it Joe.
A big misconception about multiverse theory is that ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is possible. But that's not how it works. It's only things that are physically possible. There's no universe where the person reading this comment is a squid with a successful basketball career. But there could be one where they have red hair instead of brown or any other color. Where they live somewhere else instead of where they live now.
Pretend theres an infinite number of universes which started, but over time developed tiny infinitesimal differences. None of those differences would result in an alternate version of you being a penguin. It would result instead in the solar system forming slightly differently, or slightly sooner, or in a slightly different place in the universe.
Multiverses are not magic. They can only form in the ways in ways which are physically possible. They can only have outcomes which obey the laws of physics.
There is no universe where you reading this right now are actually a sentient bowl of spaghetti. The more likely scenario is that the next closest universe is one where you don't even exist and the entire population of earth has a different family lineage from the ones that populated ours.
If all universes that branched off from ours on a quantum level had the exact same starting conditions, changes could only begin to form at imperceptible quantum levels and expand outward from there.
What most people are thinking of when they say multiverse is a completely new universe which in all likelihood doesn't even follow the same laws of physics because the start conditions were different. 99% of other random universes are probably just hot, screaming, burning energy, or cold, dead, empty voids. Not places where the dominant species of planet Earth is actually Number 2 pencils.
