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.

@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.

Martin Short? Is that you?

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.

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?

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.

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.....

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 &

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