A new study by physicists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has found that the multiverse may be more than just a hypothetical concept: it may be a mathematical reality. In their study, the researchers assume that our universe is just one of many universes, all of which are connected by a single, unified mathematics. By doing so, the physicists were able to show that the multiverse is consistent with basic mathematical principles, suggesting that it could be a real physical phenomenon.

Today marks the celebration of Einstein Day, in honor of the iconic scientist Albert Einstein. Einstein was a revolutionary thinker who changed the face of physics with his groundbreaking theories on the nature of time, space, and the universe. But what most people don’t know is that this genius relied heavily on daydreaming to come up with his revolutionary ideas. Albert Einstein believed that “the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.
