Here is a thing that I have read and that I am not sure I believe: If you accept that more than one universe exists, you are almost inexorably drawn to the conclusion that an infinite number of them exist. With all the extant possibilities.

The reasoning goes that there is no logical boundary short of infinity. Like, if the total number is 52, one might ask, "why not 51 or 53?" Arbitraryness creeps in.

Hence, the suspicion that the number is either one, or infinite.

Personally I see no reason why the answer can't be 3 or 47 or 576.

The universe has no obligation to make sense to us.

sure (but no way it's 3 ffs)

also tbh the multiverse is a different thing than dimensions

Mark s what is your beef with the tripleverse

sucky number, get rid

I'd like to think we're in one of the posher universes, instead of the dumpy, cold, sandy ones

as many universes as gecs

so there's no set limit to the number of universes but rather it's limited to the capacity of the servers these universes are running on

Hey trinities are ok

betelgeuse has now gone from the night sky (i.e. it's in the direction of the sun) for the next six months, so if it's still getting brighter we have no way of knowing.

What does this mean? this doesn't make sense

Skyscraper-sized asteroid to pass within 1.7m miles of Earth on Friday

An asteroid as big as a skyscraper will pass within 1.7m miles (2.7mkm) of Earth on Friday.

Don’t worry: there’s no chance of it hitting us since it will miss our planet by seven times the distance from the Earth to the moon.

what doesn't make sense about it?

presumably the m in 1.7m is for million

(I skimmed at first and thought it said "1.7 miles" so maybe Andy did too)

it's 1.7 millimiles, i.e. about 8 feet.

well that seems a little too close

Yeah, I thought it was less than two miles... I was hoping to go out and watch it pass over the neighborhood

In terms of interplanetary space 1.7 million miles is just a skip and a jump away.

the James Webb telescope spotted a drunk riding on it, so it might swerve closer
