Physicist Max Tegmark proposed a four-level classification of the multiverse: Level 1 is the distant regions of our own infinite universe that light cannot reach; Level 2 is the independent bubble universes of inflation theory; Level 3 is the branching timelines under the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics; Level 4 is realities generated by different mathematical structures.

UnverifiedThe many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics was proposed by Hugh Everett III in 1957, arguing that quantum measurement does not cause wave function collapse but instead splits the universe into multiple branches.57% similarUnverifiedLee Smolin proposed the cosmological natural selection hypothesis, suggesting that universes that produce more black holes may produce more offspring universes.56% similarUnverifiedIn the holographic perspective, gravity and curved spacetime are not the fundamental constituents of the universe, but phenomena that emerge from more fundamental quantum information and quantum entanglement structures on the boundary.56% similarUnverifiedGravitational lensing, simulations of large-scale structure formation in the universe, and cosmic microwave background radiation measurements all independently point to the conclusion that dark matter exists.56% similarUnverifiedMaldacena's 1997 paper gave the first precisely calculable example: supergravity in five-dimensional AdS space is mathematically equivalent to a supersymmetric quantum field theory on its four-dimensional boundary.56% similar
