As is known, virtual “particle - antiparticle” pairs continually appear in a vacuum. Such a pair is, in fact, the only system reliably known to modern science that exists eternally. (!)
Imagine for a minute that inside such a pair there live... thinking beings. Do not be embarrassed; after all, there is no limit to fantasy.
So then. For such “intellectuals,” living, for example, inside some structure belonging to the PARTICLE, would it matter that there are a great many such pairs in... our Universe?
I assure you - not in the slightest!
Here the principle called “Occam’s Razor” should be applied: “Do not create unnecessary complexities without urgent need.”
Our hypothetical beings are absolutely indifferent not only to the fact that there are many such pairs, but also to the fact that all of them are included in some superset that is our Universe: their WORLD, their GOD is ONE AND ONLY for them. Tiny “thinkers” have no concern for our Universe: the maximum it makes sense for them to discuss is the origins and possible death of their own world, that is, the problems of formation and development of precisely this pair of antipodes, the only one important to them.
Now let us move on to considering the Universe. If it too has its cosmic partner, its antipode - an anti-universe, and this pair is an eternal, self-sufficient system that requires no external “supernatural” force for its emergence and existence (development), does it matter to us whether only one such pair exists at all, or whether, for example, it is included, alongside others like it, in, say, some “hyper-universe”? Absolutely not!
Just as “the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal,” so too “the God of my God is not my God.” For us, ALL THAT EXISTS is precisely OUR WORLD, OUR GOD. Occam’s Razor. Do you understand?
Here the main thing is not the number of sets at all, but ONLY THE PRINCIPLE:
THE LAW OF ANTIPODES, without which a system cannot be complete and self-sufficient, cannot claim the role of an eternal and infinite - divine - essence.
EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS for us is an eternal pair, cyclically appearing and disappearing at the moment of annihilation (“Big Bang/Big Crunch”): the Universe plus the Anti-Universe. This is our dual WORLD, this is our only GOD.
..........
but - one can also go on pouring from empty into void, if someone is fascinated by that activity.
