> Philosophy-savvy scientists may even deny doing so, but their day-to-day conversation and casual remarks tell another story. Most scientists definitely believe there is a single absolute unshifting reality below it all and they are outlining it.
> It is then unnecessary to investigate whether there be beyond the heaven Space, Void or Time. For there is a single general space, a single vast immensity which we may freely call Void; in it are innumerable globes like this one on which we live and grow. This space we declare to be infinite, since neither reason, convenience, possibility, sense-perception nor nature assign to it a limit. In it are an infinity of worlds of the same kind as our own.
I think we can easily extrapolate an "infinity of worlds" to an "infinity of Universes/realities", or at least we can think about extrapolating, that's what philosophy was the first to do. Actually, I think Giordano Bruno would be seen as a lunatic by most of today's scientists, which I find it even more sad.
I find that actually quite sad. From a man who actually died for his "scientific" convictions (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno#On_the_Infinite_...):
