Is that not enough?
What basis do you have for thinking they are plausible let alone possible? If something seems incredulous I'm not inclined to entertain the notion. But the reason I made this thread is that so many scientists seem to do exactly that. All I want to know is why. Why entertain what is a seemingly ludicrous proposition on the face of it. Perhaps more ludicrous than believing in god. To me at least.

That's why I asked the question. What, because a bunch of people say something's likely I'm just supposed to agree?
The concept of a round world seemed stupid until people noticed evidence to the contrary. Perhaps I'm simply ignorant of some facts that make it more than plausible.
As it is though, I don't see any reason why we would take heed of the idea of parallel universes, but not the idea of some ultimate creator god. They both seem as silly to me.
But again, that's why I asked. Maybe other people know something I don't.
