The multiverse as a block of Swiss cheese, strings and things, branes and the brain

[stylz1]

Martin Short? Is that you?

[nannynicky4life]

black holes where just math 200 years ago. but know we have proof. well, multiverse is just math. it well take time to find the proof.

[abhiph]

If multiverse is here then how much space does the universe have to expand? And if they are just near us, how they would disturb our universe?

[malayabayu]

do creature need/require creature of course not we need creator so submit & surrender to him...to him the end of everything....may God bless you.

[malayabayu]

then Hijab universe & all those universes is in the outer space of al-Kursi al-A’dzam the last line of Shahadah & the begining of Misal universe ...here we just talking the universe of Al-Mulk where we drink, eat & die. Once we die we will be stationed at barzakh in universe call Malakut waiting for the judgement day then we will be send to either heaven or hell which is in Arwah universe, that the end of the journey of human being. That's it. We are creature heaven is creature.....

[malayabayu]

Iam a muslim and we believe in multi universe in our own way since 1,400 years ago we categorise the universe in 3 stage which is Shahadah, Misal & Arwah. In Shahadah there is a universe so call Al-Mulk a universe we live in consist of 7 group of group of galaxy, each group consist of million of galaxy. Further than Al-Mulk there is universe call Malakut or Barzakh then it Sidratul Mutaha then Al-Kursi then Arasy ar Rahman then Al-Mustawa then Al-Kursi al-A'dzam then al-Avary al Majid universe &

[sfsoma]

Dr. Greene is a good writer. His analogies and prose together make it easier to understand than most popular writers. highly recommend.

[mimedogg]

The Hidden Reality is a kick ass book!

[KamuzXDriver]

At min 20 aprox, what does that small number mean? 1x10^(-123) ... is that the energy that would have to be spread all over space to explain the speeding up of our Universe? Is that a number with the unit of Energy? I got lost there...

[shankyxyz]

2 dislikes are from Suskind and anti-Suskind.

[greatsea]

So basically the multiverse is a suffering factory.

[TheMrgoku1985]

The major  biology departments have found enough evidence for both macro-evolution and micro-evolution to pass peer review testing.

Get back to me when you get a working hypothosis for that multiverse theory.

[Bosonic18]

first problem with string theory. the big bang never happened lol.

[Hitman47PL]

@Bosonic18 too bad no one cares what you think.. :)

[TheWakeUpBroadcast]

This world is weird. It is okay to talk about the multiverse when you are "educated". Anyone who talks about it and say they are spiritual, will be called a freak or a new ager. The truth is that so many have stolen from the new age movement and put an "educated" twist on it. This means you are nothing more than a copy cat. In other words misleading people behind a title.

[Blixish]

@TheWakeUpBroadcast ... Try saying the same thing when you understand the mathematics behind it.

[aigg]

@TheWakeUpBroadcast It's not enough to just through out subjective philosophical theories. Theoretical physicists also need to be able to fully describe their theories mathematically. Anyone can produce a wide variety of theories, but to have your theory about the cosmos be even vaguely interesting in scientific terms, you must have the math on your side. I don't think you'll be able to find many 'spiritual' theories about the cosmos that were actually conceived from studying the universe.

[showtime6776]

Kudos to Greene for his ability to bring these complex ideas down to layman terms. The counter-argument is also done just as well by Miles Mathis. Plus, the Electric Universe is becoming serious contender vs the standard model (ie. big bang, expanding universe, black holes). It's truly incredible how difficult it is to know the universe. Though I'm humbled by Greene's intel, it should not be taken lightly when he readily admits that M-theory is still waiting to be proven by experiment.

[mearder]

It make sense

The 1 dislike is suskin, realizing string theory is wrong.

[islandbuoy4]

What the Brain/Brian Greenes of the world ALL fail to explain as they pursue their THEORY of EVERYTHING, the fine structure constant playing a part in such a theory of everything is ... why does the ancient science called the QaBaLaH have a gematria value of 137.

Why would an ancient theory of everything, the QaBaLaH have appointed, anointed, the number 137 to represent their beliefs?

and the ark is 137 meters long?and the number 7 appears 137 times in the bible?

all coincidences hahahahahaha

[ugowar]

@islandbuoy4 Let me know when the number 7 appears 137.035999074... times in the Bible. What's next, rounding pi down to 3 and then bringing up all mentions of the number 3 as proof of something other than "coincidence"? Grow up.

Hey, look, this video has 137 likes! Coincidence? I think NOT!

[islandbuoy4]

@ugowar

I do not need to round pi down to 3 ya ignorant science nerd. Get the book 'Stonehenge Decoded' by Gerald Hawkins, turn to page 150, the measurements by Alexander Thom professor of engineering science at Oxford, suggest the ancient stone circle builders were in fact trying to geometrically lay out an ASYMMETRICAL pi = 3.

duh guess what Knightly Heraldry illustrates? A knowledge of ASYMMETRY. Guess what he big WOW was back in 1956? The realization that the 4 forces were ASYMMETRIC...

[islandbuoy4]

@ugowar hey science nerd try to keep up with the current events regarding the FINE STRUCTURE CONSTANT.

Acausal anomalies seem to challenge your *LIMITED* beLIEf system?

So BTW, what is the NEW IMPROVED FINE STRUCTURE CONSTANT? do a search of 'Fine structure constant 128.5'

Are the experts now suggesting the FINE STRUCTURE CONSTANT changes over TIME or location in SPACE?

eh??????

get back to me re: 128.5 and 137,06 and then I will show you why ignorant science twats like you should STFU.

[blackraider777]

@islandbuoy4 you are imbecile

[islandbuoy4]

@blackraider777

hey cat got yer tongue? Blackraider of so few words?

how many firefighters died in 911?

was it 7x7x7=343 YUP

go ahead pick out ONE comment I made, raise your stupid game, and make an intelligent statement challenging what I said...asshole, the ball is in your court?

[islandbuoy4]

OH YES it is within my right to compare ALL THEORIES OF EVERYTHING, olde and new. The Kabbalah and the 5000 year old I-Ching thus qualify, along with the many various creation texts called 'bibles', too bad most folks are too ignorant to see the obvious. AND IF YOU BELIEVE in a GOD, (to whom it may concern) then guess what?

ALL of the coincidences are in FACT EVIDENCE of the underlying UNITY.

Charles DUHwin and Richard DUHkins, DUH fellas, science is on a learning curve

[ApatheticOmniscience]

@islandbuoy4 I swear, I could create a theory to predict the type of people who rant on these videos. You guys sound all the same...

[sbergman27]

Is Mathematics a discovery or an invention? Certainly, it can seem uncanny how some piece of obscure mathematics has been there to facilitate some new and revolutionary extension in physics. But this is not really surprising. Physics is constrained by the "what is". Mathematicians can, and have, let their minds run wild for millennia. Einstein found an obscure body of math ready to adapt for use in GR. Great. Math is wonderful. But there's no reason to think all math describes a real universe.

[sbergman27]

Regarding Nosek's "Ultimate Multiverse"... the problem he was trying to solve is valid. But the result, while novel, is a bit of a cop out. If the existence of many, most, or all of his universes can never be experimentally tested in any way, what does it mean to say they are real? It's one thing if a solid theory in physics, which has survived all the many tests thrown at it, also necessarily implies a multiverse. But to invent them for aesthetic appeal? Pure navel contemplation. Science FTW!

[nickharvey7]

Could the multiple dimension or parallel universes of String Theory be future possibilities of what might happen within our one three dimensional Universe?

A dynamic Universe of continuous change or creation that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual creating our own future!

[stevebremner]

Fantastic!

[AdrenalineFRAP]

greene= kaku.

i honestly believe that if one of the two of them were to find the theory of everything it would be kaku but Brian has that way of explaining things so that everyone can understand it

[sbergman27]

@AdrenalineFRAP Brian is much better then Kaku regarding properly distinguishing between what is experimental fact, what is experimentally tested theory, and what is only hypothesis as he speaks. Kaku often gets carried away, and forgets to say, "Oh, BTW, everything I've been saying for the past 15 minutes is the sheerest of speculation".

[sbergman27]

@sbergman27 "Brian is much better then Kaku regarding..."

Of course, I meant to say 'better than". I'm really not with it today.

[yoort]

very interesting guy

[treasuredroperX]

@yoort Interesting??? He is awesome! lol

[ManyInfiniteComments]

........and the evidence for the Multiverse is where? What proof is there that hidden dimensions are strings? Why not triangles or rainbows..... they are just as valid. Is M theory even falsifiable? Last time i checked M theory had 11 dimensions or was it 10 or 7... they keep changing... which is fine, but if you cant solve a problem with what we know is valid... adding another dimension is cheating....might as well add god to the equation.

[treasuredroperX]

@ManyInfiniteComments I Don't think you watched the whole video... The evidence for the Multiverse is not observational, it's sort of a understood conclusion, there is conclusions that automatically pop into the mind when we perform experiments like the spinning ball experiment,and observe quantum fluctuations,and things like black holes.So there is no absolute certainty as of right now.God can't be added to the equation,because it's logically infallible to assume infinite intelligence.

[ManyInfiniteComments]

@treasuredroperX Good Point, but science is dependent upon valid evidence not IFs. Again, what proof is there that extra dimensions are strings? I'm not the only person to point out the lack of evidence M theory proposes. When I said you might as well add god to the equation that is equivalent to adding another unproven dimension. The funny thing about black holes is that they became apparent given the evidence, not the other way around. Not bashing simply asking questions.

[treasuredroperX]

@ManyInfiniteComments I know your not, I am also skeptical about this, however I think this theory is pretty valid considering recent observations, quantum fluctuations, black holes leading to who knows where, the gravitational attraction of black holes indicates there is something on the other side, what could it be? Some experiments show, energy out of nothing, the appearance of copied atoms on 2 sides of the observation ect. So it's just a conclusion. No observations have been made... yet.

[RuneDrake314]

I <3 the Ultimate Multiverse.

kaku > suskind ... (!)

Shut up! this is not a fucking poetry class, i hate the interviewer! what a dick.

[surfaceslider]

suskind > greene

[bvrcrap56]

get the fuck out of the book! just ask a question, brian cAN TALK!

[Donal277]

What if the Universe is expanding away from us but rather than a constant pushing it away its merely speeding up as its been attracted to another Universe/Something out there with tremendous gravitational force pulling it out.

Ie force not pushing from inside out but attracting from outside and universe is speediing up due to this outside gravity source lets call it

My meager out of the box thinking.

[nosehairmcsmarty]

@Donal277 Its expanding in all directions. So that would explain it all. One of my more practical thoughts of what it could be, is that its photons hitting other matter and exerting force on it. Picture a pea shooting a brick, if you have enough peas the brick is going to move. The pea shooters would be stars, the bricks would be the galaxies. But as of right now its all speculation. I really need a degree in Theoretical Physics.

Dude looks like Martin Short.

[paulpcttorode]

i'm a complete novice on physics, infact my first book ou the understanding of the universe was 'the hidden reality' i think i made about 50 pages before i decided to put it down and start at the basics but even so Briane Greene has propelled my interest in the subject(s) and i am inbarcking on an epic journey into the universe....... such facinating facts, theorys and understangs that lead even the simpilct people like myself to open the mind.

[WelcomeGhosts73]

@paulpcttorode you should start with Stephen Hawking's "Universe in a Nutshell" and then start with Brian's first book Elegant Universe and then Fabric of the Cosmos. Although seeing as this was posted 4 weeks ago, I'm sure you've started something already :)

[danogzilla]

greene > kaku

oh i went there.

[0pteryx]

@danogzilla Edgy.

[yuriynyr]

@danogzilla Agree. But still, anyone who studies Physics, especially at the doctoral level is a genius in my book.

Brian Greene - what a legend!

[northwoodshermit]

Excellent video interview! I bought the book, "The Hidden Reality", and am reading it now. Brian Greene writes so that the average reader can enjoy this fascinating subject.

[mkwhite08]

@northwoodshermit I got the audio version from audible.com. I love this book, but I was hooked with the Elegant Universe

[SciFiFoundation]

This makes so much good sense! I like Swiiss cheese and string cheese and gouda cheese and munster cheese and brain cheese and cheesey Sagan cheese and even the kind that grows under the toenails of little old ladiees lol

[jonnyuman54]

i do not always understand what is being said, but i find my self veiwing more and more on the topics that brain was talking about, Brian Greene is the guy for anything dealing with theoretical physicist. And the science foundation thanks for all the uploads!

[AncientAtheist]

Good video. Thanks for posting this.

[Ender0410]

Hope you teach your grandchild not too ever laugh at Newton or Einstein.

[KittyGotSued]

I just finished his book "the fabric of the cosmos". Thanks for the upload!

[GunsNRosesbitches]

@KittyGotSued Thats a great book...i still got a long way to go lol

[Leofox94]

I see my grandchild watching this video and hearing a word "Einstein" and laughing so hard at it because in that time, Einstein for them will be like newton for us.

[JmSantos78]

@Leofox94 They were both geniuses. So I don't see your point.

[Leofox94]

@JmSantos78 my point is looking into the future and describing the future. I believe, there will be born another Einstein that will help the humanity become more advanced.

[JmSantos78]

@Leofox94 Sure, but that doesn't make past great minds a laughing-stock or even obsolete. Most of Newton's work was correct (i.e. F=m a still applies), and both of Einstein's theorys of relativity have been proven right time and time again. P.S.: Yay for physics! :)

[Leofox94]

@JmSantos78 uh... You still didn't get me right... Anyway, I love physics too, but um all I'm saying is that we will be so smart in the future that we are going to think, what kind of primitive dumb ass people we actually were, lol.

[JmSantos78]

@Leofox94 Oh.. I see. Now I feel like one primitive dumb ass. Lol.

Peace!

[Leofox94]

@JmSantos78 Yeah. Peace! ^_^ besides, nobody is really sure what is going to happen in the future so it's silly to think about what would people from the future think, who cares XD
