And Noether also tells us that if the fundamental laws of physics do not change from one place to another then the law of conservation of momentum must exist. By the way, I don't think Emmy Noether received the credit she deserved for this enormously important discovery. > > So on the face of it, the recent measurements of the mass of the Higgs > boson, which are strongly suggestive of a multiverse > I don't think the discovery of the Higgs boson has much to say about the existence or nonexistence of the multiverse one way or the other. On the other hand the discovery of primordial gravitational waves would be pretty good evidence of the existence of the multiverse but nobody has ever detected them, everybody thought we had about a year ago but that turned out to be a false alarm. Maybe next year. > > might be seen as empirical evidence against 'comp'. > Of that I have no opinion because nobody knows what "comp" means, least of all Bruno.
