Creation Moment 3/1/2026 - “Boltzmann brains” problem for the multiverse theory

 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:22

"In any cosmology with eternal expansion (including our own universe if dominated by a positive cosmological constant), on the
assumption of naturalism and materialist theories of consciousness, random thermal fluctuations would eventually produce, in numbers vastly exceeding ordinary observers like ourselves, isolated “
brains” with momentary conscious experiences (Boltzmann, 1896; Dyson, Kleban, and Susskind, 2002). 
If such models of the universe were correct, then materialist assumptions entail that we would almost certainly be such “Boltzmann brains” with illusory memories — which would undermine the very observations that led us to accept the models in the first place
This problem afflicts not only the multiverse but much of contemporary cosmology, and proposed solutions remain contested."
