赌上其他宇宙的存在

Gambling on the existence of other universes

Arturo Sangalli

摘要:

关于其他世界存在的猜测和理论有着悠久的历史。近年来,这些论点已经从其典型的哲学和神学特征转向了由于其科学基础而变得更加客观。这方面的一个主要例子是目前的平行宇宙或多重宇宙理论,它得到了许多著名宇宙学家的支持。在这篇文章中,我们认为,声称这些平行宇宙的存在,在马克斯Tegmark的书“我们的数学宇宙”,关键在于一些有问题的概率参数涉及无穷大。因此,人们对多元宇宙假说产生了怀疑:它是否比基于哲学和形而上学考虑的反驳更可信?

英文摘要:

Speculations and theories about the existence of other worlds have a long history. In recent times, the arguments have shifted away from their typical philosophical and theological character to supposedly become more objective thanks to their scientific underpinnings. A prime example of this is the current parallel universes or multiverse theory, which has the support of a number of famous cosmologists. In this article, we contend that the claim for the existence of those parallel universes, as presented in Max Tegmark's book "Our Mathematical Universe", rests crucially on some questionable probability arguments involving infinity. As a result, a doubt is cast over the multiverse hypothesis: Is it more credible than the counterarguments based on philosophical and metaphysical considerations?
