After an introductory discussion about the concept of infinity, this episode considers three lines of evidence that multiverse supporters bring to justify the Infinite Multiverse Premise.
Inductive reasoning;
Empirical evidence;
Many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Besides explaining these attempted supports, we'll point out two problems with each of them. First, we'll show how none of them convincingly demonstrates the existence of an infinite number of universes. More importantly, we'll show that even though they may support an infinite number of universes, they don't address, and sometimes even undermine, the Varied Multiverse Premise - the claim that the constants vary between universes.
