1 | Let us add the superscript 3 to the action, the Lagrangian and to the Hamiltonian density of the third quantization procedure. |
2 | To our knowledge, this was first done in Ref. [2]. Before that, the multiverse was considered by many physicists to be an exotic proposal deprived of any scientific validation. Still today, there are many scientists that are sceptic about the whole proposal. However, we can now pose new and more precise observable imprints, and more and more groups are working on the search of the imprints of the multiverse [2,3,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. |
