And also, if one universe can be created, why can't others?
And in that case, why aren't they just called verses?
I believe in the multiverse theory, verses are awesome.
it means that for every tv show we watched, every game we ever played, every thing that was imagined...EVER.
there's a universe out there were that's reality.
in case you don't get it means that there is a REAL pokemon world somewhere, like another user previously mentioned.
beat THAT!

so long as it's possible (no matter how unlikely) a money can use typewriter then that's all it needs.
an infinite amount of time is limitless, right? therefore even if the monkey press one key a century it's still possible, in fact we can also say that the monkey has typed every single piece of literature to this date.
I'm glad we live in that one.jwien001 said:
On another note, would these universes have the same physics on an atomic scale? They would have to to even exist, therefore some of these ideas could never occur, and only a set amount of outcomes can occur because inhabitable planets can only start in a set number of ways.
It's not a question of how often the monkey will press the keys; the fact of the matter is that the monkey will favourize certain keys and patterns. What keys the monkey presses will never be random, and therefore, the complete works of Shakespeare will never be written.mad825 said:

you are favouring logic in a illogical world.
they have an infinite amount of time therefore we can say that there will be a time when they don't do that. the possibilities are limitless
Yes, but due to the monkey's behavioral patterns, it is not possible for it to type the complete works of Shakespeare. For example, for the sake of argument, the monkey might type the letter 'k' every five letters for a century, and then move on to typing the letter 'd' every five letters for the next century. If the monkey had been typing letters randomly, the complete works of Shakespeare would come out of it sooner or later; but a monkey at a typewriter isn't typing randomly.mad825 said:
Listen; don't take my word for it. I think I read it in a science illustrated article or something. Try googling it.
Edit: "To get right to it, the problem with the current answer is that it assumes, without proof or argument, that taking a random string of items to infinity will necessarily cover all possibilities. That is to say, those who assert the monkey theorem assume that in infinite time the monkeys will type everything: all combinations will be covered. That is a false assumption.
It is easy to propose an infinite number of combinations where all possible combinations are not covered. Let us say that we take Ricky Gervais to a basketball court and allow him to shoot baskets. No matter how long we leave him there, he will never be caught slam dunking the basketball. We could leave an infinite number of short guys there an infinite time, and we would never find any of them slam dunking the basketball. What we would find, instead, is an infinite number of similar non-dunking combinations."

A universe where there are NO OTHER ALTERNATE UNIVERSES.
Think about it, then wait for your head to explode.

There's a universe where I'm fighting with Chuck Norris to kill the zombie of Lindsey Lohan to stop a thermonuclear launch.
You don't need an alternate universe for that, just a time machine to soviet russia.Rex Dark said:
There is a universe where I have concious control over every cell in my body, commanding them to replicate and repair at extreme efficiency and ensuring my body never fails of old age. I have used my melenia of life to lead an autocratic nation to prosperity and technological marvel. Soon I will breech the barrier of the multiverse and bring this one under my command as well.
