If our universe could be whacked by another universe, doesn't that mean it exists alongside of our universe, instead of being a universe in a different dimension?[/b]
what do think "a universe being in a different dimension" but interacting with our own would mean if not meaning it "exists alongside of our universe"? How else would you define "alongside" if not via an interaction such as being "whacked" in this context? There is evidence that the interaction is continuing in the present day.
On a separate note: I don't know why the "axis of evil" is so-called. That may be just a stupid name or perhaps there is a good historical reason for it that I am unaware of. Anyone?

Eliminating first cause is not as easy as it seems, because doing so means you need to deal with infinity. And trying to factor in infinity is about as easy as trying to divide zero by zero. For example, if Johnny has an infinite number of apples in his po ...[text shortened]... regenerating multiverses doesn't resolve the problem of first cause, it just pushes it away.
I need to correct myself again.
If the various universes could have different values for time, light speed, magnetic forces, higgs boson etc. etc. then it's possible for infinity to be more than a conceptual number, and actually be a very real and integral part of a particular universe's set of values with no standard deviation, and anyone living in such a universe would have an infinite number of fingers and toes for calculating those values.

The "axis of evil" was just a nickname given to the apparent observation that there was an asymmetry in the MBR data indicating that the universe was not uniform at large scales (which most theories assume/predict).
It was thought to be most likely an error in the measurement.
It now looks to be a real observation... Which is awesome as it gives us something new to factor into the theoretical work.
Renewed interest in the multiverse idea:
