New paper out on the multiverse. I argue we should distinguish two kinds of multiverse, and show that one of them can, in principle, be tested empirically. Comments welcome! philpapers.org/rec/LEBHVF

Can multiverse hypotheses ever receive empirical support? Critics argue that multiverse scenarios posit unobservable entities, face severe underdetermination, or fall outside the bounds of science. Th...

Physics teaches us that empty space is not really empty. It contains matter, energy, and even the keys to the fate of the universe. To the point where it challenges the notion of ‘nothing’. (Interviewed by Daniel Saraga for Horizons.)
