So the fact that we can't yet prove that a parallel universe exists means that we can't believe it's true?

  • No, you can, you can believe anything, but a reasonable person shouldn't.

  • So what you're telling me is that any scientist who thinks that a parallel universe could possibly exist is being unreasonable?

    No, any scientist who believes that a 'parallel universe' exists is. You know, the thing that I actually said?

  • Then I guess Stephen Hawking must be unreasonable for believing the String Theory to be true, considering that we have yet to find any substantial evidence in favor of it.

  • That would be unreasonable, if he actually did.

  • Well he does, and he actually dedicated an entire portion of his book to a new theory called the "M" theory that bases its entire foundation on the string theory. So congratulations. We've established that the single smartest person alive is unreasonable.

  • Talking about the possibility of it and what that might entail isn't the same thing as believing in it. Also, this isn't really relevant, but Stephen Hawking isn't the single smartest person alive, he's just the most well known living physicist.

  • You shouldn't accept it as truth, no... Why would you if it isn't a substantiated possibility?
