The "multiverse" is an attractive/intriguing idea to me, as a Catholic (and a bit of a Doubting Thomas), since it provides a scientific connection to/explanation of the idea of the Kingdom of Heaven, an existence beyond our own. If we truly can ascend there from here body and soul, there must be a scientific method to it. Care to take a stab at it?
The multiverse is what I call "science flavored." There are mathematical and scientific underpinnings, which is why it's so compelling to some scientists. If you're interested, Max Tegmark has a really good article on the different types or "levels" of multiverse.
I've posted this Jon Lomberg painting before. Best illustration of body/soul passing from one existence to another, and featured in Carl Sagan's groundbreaking book COSMOS. Even the eternal-skeptic Sagan was intrigued by the idea as he devotes a few paragraphs (pp 265—6) to share his thoughts about such a possibility.
I'm not sure if you follow Eric Weinstein on twitter, but he has been railing against the failings of modern physics for years, particularly - but by no means only - focused on string theory. He thinks that the last 50 years of physics have been going down the wrong path. He's on the opposite end of the spectrum from popularizers like Michio Kaku, who is still banging the string theory drum to sell more and more books. I'd love for you to dive deeper into this on your substack. From Weinstein to people like Sabine Hossenfelder "Lost in Math" to Wolfgang Smith (I can't even figure out where he is coming from), is there, perhaps, a change brewing in how physics is done?
