The text I've highlighted in bold is just completely wrong. You don't even know what you're talking about, but its very amusing to me so keep going! Its always funny to see someone who thinks they can understand general relativity and quantum physics without math, but its even more funny to see someone who thinks they understand it better than those who understand the math!
The cover-up is always worse than the crime...
...your crime, ignorance....
1. Alan Lightman (born November 28, 1948 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American physicist, writer, and social entrepreneur. He is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author of the international bestseller Einstein's Dreams. He was the first professor at MIT to receive a joint appointment in the sciences and the humanities.

2. The accidental universe:
Science's crisis of faith
By Alan P. Lightman
The accidental universe: Science's crisis of faith?By Alan P. Lightman (Harper's Magazine)
3. In the article, Lightman explains the concept so that even a fraud such as yourself will find it difficult to obfuscate...
"Theoretical physicists, on the other hand, are not satisfied with observing the universe. They want to know why. They want to explain all the properties of the universe in terms of
a few fundamental principles and parameters. These fundamental principles, in turn, lead to
the “laws of nature,” which govern the behavior of all matter and energy.
….If the multiverse idea is correct, then the historic mission of physics to explain all the properties of our universe in terms of fundamental principles—
to explain why the properties of our universe must necessarily be what they are—is futile, a beautiful philosophical dream that simply isn’t true.
Because there is no way they can prove this conjecture. That same
uncertainty disturbs many physicists who are adjusting to the idea of the multiverse. Not only must we accept that basic properties of our universe are accidental and uncalculable.
In addition, we must believe in the existence of many other universes. But we have no conceivable way of observing these other universes and cannot prove their existence. Thus, to explain what we see in the world and in our mental deductions, we must believe in what we cannot prove. Sound familiar? Theologians are accustomed to taking some beliefs on faith. Scientists are not. All we can do is hope that the same theories that predict the multiverse also produce many other predictions that we can test here in our own universe. But the other universes themselves will almost certainly remain a conjecture."
So....not only are you a fraud and a dunce....
...but this: 'The text I've highlighted in bold is just completely wrong. You don't even know what you're talking about,....'
...pretty much defines you.
I'm sorry, where does Lightman say that the muiltiverse theory is "by definition allowed to violate any scientific laws"? You've not shown me where he says that.
Also, where does lightman explain the theory itself? He doesn't. There's no mathematical equations in the article.
Again: "to explain why the properties of our universe must necessarily be what they are—is futile,..."
Did you understand that???
yes. Do you have a problem with it?
Multiverse?? Then 'to explain why the properties of our universe must necessarily be what they are—is futile'!
Does that neon light flashing IDIOT over your head keep you awake at night?
Your arrogance continues to amuse me. Please continue to babble on about what you have no clue about. You read an article in Harper's and you think you understand a theory that takes years of study to understand - its quite amazing! When you're ready to attack the theory itself from a mathematical basis instead of based on your misinterpretations of a pop article, I'm ready!
1. In the service of diversity, a message board is bound to have all levels of posters. Some are brilliant, some not so much.
The less-than-brilliant assemblage is never complete without the pretend-scientist: here we have one: Ooopsy-
Doo!
2. In “The Death of Feminism,” Dr. Phyllis Chesler explores feminism, academia and Islam. In it she reveals the way the pretend-academics cruise along while appearing to work in a field:
“They are loyal to their careers and their cliques, not to the truth. [In their writing, they] have
pretended that brilliance and originality can best be conveyed in a secret, Mandarin language that absolutely no one, including themselves, can possibly understand…and this
obfuscation of language has been employed to hide a considerable lack of brilliance and originality and to avoid the consequences of making oneself clear."
3. Here,
Ooopsy-Doo, in his pose as the pretend-scientist, he fits perfectly into that definition. Having
made the mistake of pretending to understand the ‘Multiverse concept,” Ooopsy attempts to obfuscate by inserting the jargon that is designed to cloud rather than clarify.
Ooopsy writes:
a. “There's no mathematical equations in the article.”
b. “Your arrogance continues to amuse me. Please continue to babble on about what you have no clue about. You read an article in Harper's and you think you understand a theory that
takes years of study to understand –“
c. “When you're ready to attack the theory itself from a mathematical basis instead of based on
your misinterpretations of a pop article,…”
4. To review, Ooopsy-dunce is the one
who picked the ‘Multiverse’ as his answer as far back as page one!
5. In Post #9 I provided this tutorial: “the ‘multiverse,’ [the Landscape] idea, that there could be an infinite number of universes, e
ach with some permutation of the natural laws of physics, vastly different from ours. … appeal to infinitely many universes crammed with laws of nature wriggling indiscreetly and fundamental physical parameters changing as one travels the cosmos. And- the entire gargantuan structure scientifically unobservable and devoid of any connection to expericnce.”
a. “ The multiverse is a universe of universes. What we think of as the cosmos becomes, in this theoretical framework, just one of many pocket universes each with their own form of the laws of physics. “

So...I didn't 'misinterpret,' did I?
It doesn't take a normal intelligence years of study, does it? Well...in your case....
6. Suddenly, Ooopsy doesn’t understand that
the phony theory that he chose states that there may be multiple universes, each with their own laws of science totally different from those in our universe….i.e., thus, there are no universally true facts or laws!!!
7. Now,
Ooopsy has implied that he has a Ph.D…..if so, it must stand for
“Piled higher and Deeper.”
I have that warm, fuzzy feeling that only cruelty to the stupid can provide.
