The idea of creating a new universe in the lab is no joke

quote [ Near the end, Linde made a seemingly flippant suggestion that our Universe itself might have been knocked together by an alien ‘physicist hacker’. The paper’s referees objected to this ‘dirty joke’; religious people might be offended that scientists were aiming to steal the feat of universe-making out of the hands of God, they worried. ]

Given how easily lab animals are dispatched and disposed of, I suspect that human-made universes will be treated much the same.

It's no joke but it IS the plot line to an episode of a humorous animated show.

There are competing theories of what such a human made universe would produce. In some, the laws of physics in any produced universe are essentially random, so the likelihood of those laws being just right to produce consciousness is so close to zero as to be meaningless. We could constantly produce baby universes until our own dies of heat death in a few trillion years, and still have essentially no chance of producing one that could sustain even the simplest form of life.

It's good and all, but can you convert your self to to live and be compatible with this lab-grown universe? Is that possible? Is that why we've never seen the creator?

An avatar could be created, but the problem would be how much of the original creator could be crammed into a new envelope. We have stories of avatars in Hindu mithologies and also, have you ever considered the possibility of Jesus being an avatar of God? Besides that, you question why we haven't seen the creator. How would be know that we haven't seen the creator, besides the opinion of some religious sectors. Maybe the creator has projected itself into figures of social, scientific and even miltary relevance. Not only religious ones.

I'm watching this anime right now and all kinds of question are popping up and conspiracy theories on what this mysterious anisotropic visitor is who has come bearing gifts that help humanity evolve (free energy borrowed from the anisotropic realm, awareness of higher dimension self, and others)

I had to search anisotropic and I am still a bit lost about the concept. Too early in the morning for me. I was thinking about creatures of different kinds being avatars of something higher, maybe even corrupted versions due to the lost or corruption of information going from the higher stage to the lower one. Both violent destructive entities and also the idealistic, loving ones. I guess I really need a coffee in order to round things up and come with a good explanation on what I am thinking about.
