Physicist Stephen Hawking argues that physical reality becomes accessible to us via models that function within our world view, that are relevant for our era and above all are scientifically verifiable. He calls this conviction model-dependent realism. We create history (Entheos) through our specific participation in it, rather than history creating us. When Hawking’s colleague Edward Witten launches the M-theory in the mid-1990s, he presents a multiverse theory where all previously relevant explanatory models for physics are brought together under a common mathematical roof. According to M-theory, there are at least 10 to the power of 500 different possible string-theory universes. What M-theory de facto does with these multiple, possible universes, means that existence can no longer be regarded as a miracle loosely dangling in nothingness, but rather must be seen as a necessity with a solid anchoring in somethingness.
