Many physicists assume we must live in a multiverse – but their basic maths may be wrong

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, November 9, 2023

This means that for life to be possible, certain numbers in physics had to fall within a certain, very narrow range.

Key Points: 
  • This means that for life to be possible, certain numbers in physics had to fall within a certain, very narrow range.
  • No two particles would have ever combined, meaning no stars, planets, or any kind of structural complexity, and therefore no life.
  • To allow for the possibility of life, the strength of dark energy had to be, like Goldilocks’s porridge, “just right”.
  • The most popular explanation for the fine-tuning of physics is that we live in one universe among a multiverse.
  • But in reality, each throw has an exact and equal probability of one in six of getting a specific number.
  • When this particular universe was created, as in a die throw, it still had a specific, low chance of getting the right numbers.
  • At this point, multiverse theorists bring in the “anthropic principle” – that because we exist, we could not have observed a universe incompatible with life.
  • Likewise, multiverse theorists are wrong to infer from fine-tuning to many universes.

What about the multiverse?

  • In my book, I explore the connections between the inverse gambler’s fallacy and the scientific case for the multiverse, something which surprisingly hasn’t been done before.
  • The scientific theory of inflation – the idea that the early universe blew up hugely in size – supports the multiverse.
  • If inflation can happen once, it is likely to be happening in different areas of space – creating universes in their own right.
  • Many found it hard to accept that the picture of reality they’d got used to no longer explained the data.


Philip Goff received funding from the Templeton Foundation while writing his latest book. Miriam Frankel, the editor, has in the past written a scientific literature review about fine tuning for Foundational Questions Institute, which also received funding from Templeton.
