Friend of mine recently had a thought about infinite universes that spewed a thought from me. I believe i can prove there are either a finite amount of other universes, or only this one(which i guess would still fall under finite... lol)

Backstory!

It is believed that there are an infinite number of other universes/realities in which all actions occur. Didn't get that job? There exists a universe where you did! Get shot in the face? In one(or more) universe(s), you survived! Get a phone call today? Not in another universe.

Imagine this scenario

There exists a universe in which someone has figured out how to contact other universes, and they have done just that! In the group of universes in which this is possible (which, going with the theory, there would be infinite amount of universes that have figured out this trick) exists a universe that contacted you! Yesterday...

The question at hand

Obviously, this did not happen. Therefore I have determined there is indeed, NOT an infinite amount of universes. You could argue that we simply don't exist in the universe they decided to contact. If that is the case, you are saying the universe in which someone contacts you yesterday DOES NOT EXIST. If that universe doesn't exist, it stands to reason all other universes that hypothetically exist that contacted you at other points in time also DO NOT EXIST. And as there are infinite points in time, there are infinite universes that do not exist.

I'm not really concerned about the universes that don't exist. It's cool to think about, but only in the effort to disprove the existence of an infinite amount of universes.

We now have two groups of universes. Those that exist, and those that do not. At this point you can assume the possibility of infinite universes, but not for long.

Mentally line up all the universes from both groups, from left to right starting with the universes that exist, ending with those that do not. Assign an integer to each universe in sequence (for ease of thought). AT SOME POINT you will arrive at the universes that do not exist. Lets say that number is "x" for ease of thought. From that point on, the list is indeed infinite due to my previously stated "universes that don't exist are infinite" thought. What we want to look at are those that do exist. These are numbered from 1 to x, standing to believe that, whatever x may be, that is how many universes exist, and is a finite number.

There are x amount of universes!

Discuss: Is my logic sound? If it isn't, please point out spots that are faulty, and any counter arguments you may come up with!

I am very tired, so this might not make much sense, or I might be missing something obvious.


Also, as a side note: Considering there are a finite amount of universes, and we have no way of knowing exactly how many there are, until evidence supports otherwise it should be assumed there is only one. Find me evidence contrary to that and I will give you quite the pat on the back.
