Abstract

In this paper we will analyse the creation of the multiverse. We will first calculate the wave function for the multiverse using third quantization. Then we will fourth quantize this theory. We will show that there is no single vacuum state for this theory. Thus, we can end up with a multiverse, even after starting from a vacuum state. This will be used as a possible explanation for the creation of the multiverse. We also analyse the effect of interactions in this fourth quantized theory.
