Empirical Evidence for Multiverse

Not only is there no empirically verifiable evidence for the multiverse, there could not ever be. By definition, the constants and physical laws that make our universe possible would not apply in another. In short, our version of physics would have no applicability to the 'natural' laws of an alternate universe. The multiverse is an unfalsifiable faith-based theory.

I didn't know you were so 'clued up' on the multiverse theory.
You should submit your theory to the scientific community for testing.
You are a highly qualified theoretical physicist as opposed to a theist with confirmation bias who speaks of subjects he is ignorant in... right?

Why should you have a problem with a unfalsifiable faith based theory? I'm not a physicist, or even all that knowledgable about physics so I can't say if there is a multiverse or not. Whatt I do want to point out is the rank hypocrisy of you critising others for what you called a faith based theory when you follow an ideology that says explicitly that it is unfalsifiable and faith based. I suggest you go back and read Paul's letter to the Hebrews where he explains this in surprising clarity for the bible. I also recommend reading luke again as well, for Jesus stated explicitly in luke, thou shalt not test thy lord thy god. Of course luke is also where Jesus said " take the plank from your eye so that you may see clearly to remove the speck of dust from your brothers."
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I thought that was about having your head up your own ass etc etc? I may just be remembering Redbeard's sig. I prefer that version anyhow.

Chad, self-described "Pompous Ass".
Well at least he's not inaccurate all the time.

It's not a theory, it's a hypothesis. Actually a group of hypotheses. Like all valid hypotheses, they attempt to explain observations in a way that is at least potentially testable. It has nothing to do with faith, you're not supposed to believe it before there's enough evidence to justify accepting the hypothesis.
Whether another universe's physical laws would be completely different from ours would depend on which, if any, multiple universe hypothesis turns out to be true. There's no reason why other universes would necessarily vary widely from ours and no reason to think the universal constants are completely arbitrary and random in their values.
Have you considered Googling 'evidence for multiple universes'?

Chad loves his confirmation bias. I wouldn't even bother with the pompous ass.
(Hey, surely I can call him that? He admits it!!).

Was the crickets thing in his OP because he imagined there couldn't possibly be a cogent reply?

Quote:The first 'hard evidence' that other universes exist has been found by scientists.
Cosmologists studying a map of the universe from data gathered by the Planck spacecraft have concluded that it shows anomalies that can only have been caused by the gravitational pull of other universes.
