Clever! I would say in the Cartesian frame of reference as well as from the point of view of any observer anywhere in the universe (or even outside of it).

Praise from Mister K himself , I m flattered 😳 With that huge a frame we are bound to appear insignificant .

@ bold: So you mean to say inadvertantly that the universe is not limitless.

There are supposed to be multiverses

I was about to ask that...

Out of the universe M. K?

Out of universe = Nothingness.

Anything that exists inside and is limited by the boundary of space and time is part of the universe we inhabit. Anything that is not bound by space and time does not belong to the universe. Only 'nothingness' fits the definition.

Observer as in the very first cause that preceded the first known event (Planck Epoch!)

Observer as in that inherent perspective (whose? I don't know as yet) that holds that time shall move forward after physical space-time came into being.

As of now, a multiverse is unfalsifiable.

A hypothesis is considered scientific only if it is falsifiable.

For example: If you say all computers have an Intel chip, if I present one computer without an Intel chip, I falsified your theory. A theory has to be falsifiable for it to be confirmed or disproved. That's the scientific way of going about things, proving or disproving a theory.

God is unfalsifiable. So is a multiverse as of now.
