Brain Greene, a physics professor from Columbia University says that building your very own universe is possible in the future. The irony is that if a new universe is successfully created, you will not be able to visit it... I doubt this will happen within our lifetime but it does makes for an interesting read.Here’s a snippet from NPR:
Think about it this way: One day (far off, no doubt), it may be possible to go into a laboratory on Earth, create a "seed" -- a device that could grow into a universe -- and then there would have to be a way to get that seed, on command, to safely expand into a separate, infinite, unexplorable but very real alternate universe.
The seed, he suggests, could be a black hole. Not the big black holes that sit near the centers of so many galaxies, but what he calls a "mini black hole." Black holes, he says, don't have to be big. They can, in theory, be very small. Greene also describes a kind of energy, called a "repulsive force," that might be capable of turning that seed into a new universe.
