Omniverse

Omniverse

The Omniverse is the conceptual ensemble of all possible universes, with all possible laws of physics[1][2].

In this physical cosmology context, the limitation of the definition of "universe" that it has only one set of "physical laws and constants that govern them," is expanded to include multiple sets of physical laws and constants, each expressed as a wholly or partially separate universe. The term is used in quantum mechanics to differentiate the concept of a limited number of universes from all existent universes.

Hierarchy within the omniverse

Universe: The inside description of a context that is relative in size/structure (attributes/modes) to the known universe that we inhabit. A Universe, also known as a Cosmos, is a particular individual space-time organization with a specified number of dimensions of space and time and definite and specific laws of physics. Other Universes (other Cosmoses) may have different numbers of dimensions of space and time and different laws of physics than our own Universe (Cosmos).[3][4]

Multiverse: The part of infinity that directly joins a given universe with all possible configurations of that universe.

Metaverse: In string theory, the part that is along with, after; over also denoting change in the multiverse that houses the branes or film that each universe is said to be attached to and hang like individual sheets in a hypermagnetic wave with rhythms of hypercosmic strings going up and down that has a third element causing up, down, backwards, forwards, motions inside the Xenoverse.

Note: In computer science, a metaverse is a virtual reality simulation based on the physical reality of a single individual universe, but one or more levels of implementation above it. It is conceived that it will be possible in forthcoming centuries to create such simulations using massive arrays of matrioshka brains and Jupiter brains.[5][6]

Xenoverse: the unknown alien elements that are beyond and part of the metaverse and multiverse structure. Compared to a patchwork quilt hanging on a line to dry in space that is multivariate inside the Omniverse. While Omniverse is said to be the outside ring of all that is known, the xenoverse is the inside the hypermacrocosm that is unknown beyond the metaverse—the unknown sets of laws that govern how branes behave to create metaverses, the laws of which govern the creation of multiverses.

Hyperverse: Multiple xenoverses and to a relative of and probably a quarter of an omniverse, also, not to be confused with Hyperversus and the off end of the multiverse: Metaverse and Xenoverse.

Omniverse: All possible attributes and modes are in play, multiverses are categorized by the attributes/modes active in its child universes. Some or all possible modes of existence are actualized. If we take the point of origin as our being as a point in measurement, then we can generate the following hierarchy: 1. our location in space-time, 2. this universe (cosmos), 3. the multiverse, 4. the metaverse, 5. the xenoverse, 6. the hyperverse, 7. the omniverse.

Allegorical illustrations of the concept

One can think of the omniverse as a tree structure: the omniverse is the trunk, the metaverse is the set of laws that govern the formation of branches, each multiverse is a branch, and each universe (cosmos) is a leaf.

Alternatively, the omniverse can be illustrated as a forest in which a metaverse is the set of laws that govern the cosmic ecology that determines the distribution of trees in the forest, a multiverse is a tree in the forest, a universe as a branch on that tree, and all further branches and leaves are further subset horizons within that universe.

Physicists such as Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose have suggested that universes both fork and combine, which could be visualized as more of a system of roads and pathways.

End of infinity

In some views, the number of omniverse subsets possible is finite. Given that omniverse is the largest set conceptualized by humanity, such a view is sometimes called "the end of infinity". From this frame of reference, it is possible that even if each multiverse had completely different laws of physics, and the amount of possibilities went off in the most unlikely directions, there would be a limit and an end to the amount of possibilities. Many astronomers though, believe the omniverse is infinite, and do so with this theory: if the omniverse was finite, then there would be no law for the dimensions, and through that causes major problems.

This view is founded in a theory of the omniverse splintering into universe, multiverse, many-worlds interpretation, M-theory, parallel universe, possible worlds, and so on. Etymologically, the term "universe" is meant to refer to the entirety of one reality. Omni- is a prefix meaning "all", making the omniverse encompass all possible universes, unlike the multiverse that can encompass any two or more universes with the same set of laws and constants.

History

The term "omniverse" is believed to have been created by Mark Gruenwald, It has been popularized by the composer-writer Sun Ra. Roger Penrose has spoken of the "omnium".[7]

Omniverse in popular culture

The term Omniverse has recently been used in a verse within the children-aimed song "One everything" by music group They Might Be Giants in their album Here Come the 123s. The verse states:

"We share the same omniverse,
Please clean your room,
We share the same omniverse,
And even though you are over here and not there,
There's just one everywhere"

"Omniverse" appears on an album from Niyorah, a reggae artist, called A Different Age. The song is "A Perfect Timing". He sings:

"We're not only of Earth,
We're of the omniverse,
My blood is in the cosmic...
The sky, the sea, the dirt,
The sun and all it's worth,
Impossible to stop it..."

The term "Omniverse" is also used in a song from The Jokerr called My Omniverse

It is also the main topic in the 'Hardstyle' song , Omniverse, by Scope DJ.

The name Omniverse was used for an early-1980s semi-professional comic book fan magazine which explored the ramifications of the DC Comics and Marvel Comics combined Multiverses (see DC Multiverse, Marvel Multiverse). It was also seen in Image Comics as a level of reality that encompasses all multiverses which was visited a group of heroes from their fracturing respective universe during their battle with Entropy.

Omniverse is a pseudonym for the musician and composer, Todd Wallar.

In the various Star Trek Series featuring the Character Q, Q has made mention of the omniverse on more than one occasion.
