Hogwash:
Andre
Linde & others who postulated the nucleation of “Bubble” universes (like our own) into a
Multi-verse, based on Inflationary
Theory, estimated some 10500 such universes to make plausible our
extremely Fine Tuned Universe by
Random Chance.
Atheism
apologist Victor Stenger, in "The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning" & other
books claims that such was as if an unintended "mandate" from the
results of research & not a concocted refutation of the more spiritual
Anthropic Principle. Hogwash !
While many points of his
entire thesis could be logically knocked down, just as one small example,
consider his complaint about the use, by Anthropic Principles, of "less
fundamental" constants such as Planck’s constant: h = 6.626 069 57 (29) x 10–34 J s, the vacuum
Speed of Light: c = 299, 792, 458 m/s, &
the Gravitational constant:
G = 6.673 84(80) x 10–11 N m2/kg2.
For
the sake of elegance & simplicity for "insiders", Physicists are
wont to define "natural" dimensionless units by setting 4 π G =
1 = c = h, which is to say put other constants
"in terms of" G, c, h. This serves "insiders" while
obscuring details for those more amateur.
In any case, such is just a device of convenience & does not
"sanctify" that dimensionless format. Some focus on G, c, h in Metric Units for Anthropic
Principle arguments because they are more concrete for the unprofessional
reader than say, the Fine Structure Constant. Stenger, however, disqualifies them as "arbitrary"
because, unlike dimensionless units, their numerical value depend on the
particular units chosen. Well of course !
But given those particular units chosen, the still indicate ratios &
other relationships between physical realties in the Universe. Definitions like
4 π G
= 1 = c
= h are also arbitrary, other
choices could have bee made. To knock down the Metric Units is foolish or disingenuous,
take your pick Victor. Inventing 10500
unreachable universes, bolstered by tenuous arguments about CMB anisotropy,
just as special pleading in your Atheist
argument against Theists, my God Victor !
To so justify Anthropic
Chance begins to compare to all the particles in the Universe, requiring 1 with
80 zeroes, 1080
as compared to Universe size to Electron
size ratio – with 40 zeroes, 1040. Add 6 zeroes to 86 & we have the particles in a
million Universes 1086. We can’t
imagine 100 zeroes, a Googol, 10100. How about
200 zeroes, 10200 ? What about
500 zeroes, 10500
not of particles now, but of same-size
Universes ? That’s the number in the Multi-verse,
with just 1, ours, working out.
