Multiuniverse: Physicists Calculate Number of Parallel Universes (PhysOrg.com)
Over the past few decades, the idea that our universe could be one of many alternate universes within a giant multiverse has grown from a sci-fi fantasy into a legitimate theoretical possibility. Several theories of physics and astronomy have hypothesized the existence of a multiverse made of many parallel universes. One obvious question that arises, then, is exactly how many of these parallel universes might there be. Theoretical physics has brought us the notion that our single universe is not necessarily the only game in town. Satellite data from WMAP, along with string theory and its 11- dimensional hyperspace idea has produced the concept of the multiverse, where the Big Bang could have produced many different universes instead of a single uniform universe. The idea has gained popularity recently, so it was only a matter of time until someone asked the question of how many multiverses could possibly exist. The number, according to two physicists, could be "humongous." Using all of this Stanford physicists Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin have calculated the number of all possible universes, coming up with an answer of 10^10^16. If that number sounds large, the scientists explain that it would have been even more humongous, except that we observers are limited in our ability to distinguish more universes; otherwise, there could be as many as 10^10^10^7 universes.
To work these numbers out, Linde and Vanchurin looked back to the time shortly after the Big Bang, which they view as a quantum process that generated lots of quantum fluctuations. Then during the period of inflation, the universe grew rapidly and these quantum fluctuations were "frozen" into classical perturbations in distinct regions. Today, each of these regions could be a different universe, having its own distinct laws of low energy physics.
By analyzing the mechanism (called "slow roll inflation") that initially generated the quantum fluctuations, the scientists could estimate the number of resulting universes at 10^10^10^7 (a number which is dependent on the model they used). However, this number is limited by other factors, specifically by the limits of the human brain. Since the total amount of information that one individual can absorb in a lifetime is about 10^16 bits, which is equivalent to 10^10^16 configurations, this means that a human brain couldn't distinguish more than 10^10^16 universes.
Requiring that the human brain must be able to count the number of parallel universes may seem inappropriate, if not arrogant, but Linde and Vanchurin explain that dealing with the quantum world is different than our everyday lives in which quantum effects can be safely ignored. A crucial part of their calculation here is an investigation of quantum effects on supergalactic scales. In this kind of scenario, the state of the multiverse and observations made by an observer are correlated (similar to the Schrodinger cat experiment, where the outcome can be determined only after it is registered by a classical observer).
"When we analyze the probability of the existence of a universe of a given type, we should be talking about a consistent pair: the universe and an observer who makes the rest of the universe 'alive' and the wave function of the rest of the universe time-dependent," the scientists write.
As the scientists explain, the calculation of the number of universes is an important step toward an even larger goal: to find the probability of living in a universe with a particular set of properties. What are the chances that we live in a world in which the laws of physics are these laws that we currently observe? Answering this question requires finding probabilities that depend on knowing about other universes, among many other challenges.
Yes, I place some belief in the multiverse theory. As there are soapy bubbles in a kitchen sink, there very well may be billions of bubbling universes in a hyperspace. So, you can imagine my confusion when I read this report a moment ago:
"A group of rich Germans has launched a petition calling for the government to make wealthy people pay higher taxes.
The group say they have more money than they need, and the extra revenue could fund economic and social programs to aid Germany's economic recovery.
Germany could raise 100bn euros (£91bn) if the richest people paid a 5% wealth tax for two years, they say.
The petition has 44 signatories so far, and will be presented to newly re-elected Chancellor Angela Merkel.
A moment ago, for a split second, I thought I woke up not in the universe whose hard laws made me and all that's around me but in another one, a universe with a completely different state of affairs, laws, and developments. What kind of world is this? How did I get here? A world that has rich people begging to be taxed?

A little known ancient saying reads:
"Even if all clever men on the Earth sit down and keep writing for 1,000 years, using all the land masses as paper and all the water of the oceans and seas as ink, they would still discover but a small fraction of knowledge in the Universe".
All that has existed, exists and will exist comes from God's Consciousness called by modern science Zero Point Energy or Physical vacuum. Quantum physicists also know that no more than 2% of its energy has been used to create all existing stellar systems, suns and planets until now!
"All the world renders homage to me and I render homage to the Teacher P. Deunov from Bulgaria" - wrote A. Einstein in the last century.
The Teacher Petar Dunov (Beinsa Duno) has explained and taught in simple words that ALL THE WORLDS have come and shall come from God's Consciousness - the Source of Love and Ultimate power, i.e. physical vacuum.
The ancient science of Kabbalah reveals the existence of 125 parallel worlds - 5 Higher worlds with 25 levels each.
The Russian scientist Vadim Zeland wrote a long time ago that there can be no limitation of the number of parallel universes or worlds originating from the Source and all of them can be materialized. All religions have made one and the same mistake - claims V. Zeland - assuming the existence of only one single physical/material world.
Another Russian initiate has mastered the art of passing from one to another "virtual plane" or parallel universe and is offering online assistance to volunteers!
A Bulgarian scientist - Mr. V. Dimitrov has published mind-boggling details on parallel universes or worlds, even methods to choose the best one from a personal point of view...
The American Burt Goldman is offering the same opportunity on his wonderful website:
Probably, the number of similar publications will grow, if one tries to dig deeper. All of these claims may sound absurd, even crazy to the general public, but are true and it is no accident that quantum physicists are among the "craziest".
One more point to make. While some are counting the number of parallel universes and the potential of the human brain to comprehend them, others have adopted a more pragmatic approach. One example: D. Wagner, founder of ATTI-a company manufacturing 21 Century tachyon products and devices based on technology related to physical vacuum. I do not mean to deride any one, especially scientists, for their efforts to discover the truth - after all, this is what science exists for. On the contrary, these and similar studies re-confirm the limitless capabilities of human beings as eternal spiritual creatures and our relationship to the Creator of ALL THAT IS.

Modern science has scratched only the surface of the greatest secret - physical vacuum. Primary torsion fields (later called morphogenetic fields) were almost all that was discovered until recently. Now come multiverse and parallel worlds - another piece of the BIG puzzle and the tip of the iceberg. What other surprises lay ahead?
