Defining Multiverses
The idea of a multiverse – an ensemble of universes – has received increasing attention in cosmology, both as the outcome of the originating process that generated our own universe, and as an explanation for why our universe appears to be fine-tuned for life. Here we carefully consider how multiverses should be defined, stressing the distinction between the collection of all possible universes,...
متن کاملModal Logics and Multiverses
This paper is a survey on modal logic of multiverses. It summarizes known results by Hamkins, Inamdar, Leibman, and the second author about the modal logics of forcing, grounds, and inner models in a general abstract setting. Most results in this survey come from a series of papers co-authored by the second author [19, 20, 18, 24]. Exceptions are the discussion of spiked Boolean algebras and th...

The idea of a multiverse – an ensemble of universes – has received increasing attention in cosmology, both as the outcome of the originating process that generated our own universe, and as an explanation for why our universe appears to be fine-tuned for life and consciousness.

متن کاملMultiverses and Cosmology: Philosophical Issues
The idea of a multiverse – an ensemble of universes or universe domains – has received increasing attention in cosmology, both as the outcome of the originating process that generated our own universe, and as an explanation for why our universe appears to be fine-tuned for life and consciousness. Here we carefully consider how multiverses should be defined, stressing the distinction between the...
متن کاملThe Modal Logic of Generic Multiverses
In this thesis, we investigate the modal logic of forcing and the modal logic of grounds of generic multiverses. Hamkins and Löwe showed that the ZFC-provable modal principles of forcing, as well as of grounds, are exactly the theorems of the modal logic S4.2 (see [16],[17]). We prove that the modal logic of forcing of any generic multiverse is also exactly S4.2 by showing that any model of ZFC...
