Now that they have proved that alternate universes exist, in which an infinite number of parallel realities exist, in effect they have disproven all existence. If this is true, then our universe exists only as a number of possible realities, hence somewhere out there is a universe that is a possible unreality. That is to say, if a universe exists where there is no such thing as matter, and likwise no such thing as I, then existence is not certain at all. It is just as likely that my universe is not the "real" universe, and that in reality I do not exist. It is still possible that I exist, but it is not certain. The mathematical proof of the parallel universe theory means that complete agnosticism is the answer to every question. Assuming there is a universe where 2 + 2 = 7, and all universes are equally possible, or equally likely, then 2 + 2 really equals "unknown," because it is impossible to determine which of the infinite possible answers is the correct one. Likewise, it is impossible to state that 2=2, because we are not really sure what the number 2 is, and whether or not it equals 2 in an alternate universe. This cosmological discovery means that it is impossible to prove that you exist, which doesn't leave much hope for Descartes, and proving the existence of the material world, or God. It is the mathematical proof of agnosticism. However, in another universe, a similar discovery was made stating that only that universe exists and no other. This seems to suggest that it is more probable, that this other universe is the "real" one and that our universe is merely a possibility that doesn't really exist.
