String Theory Multiverse - Sergei Dubovsky (SETI Talks)

SETI Talks Archive: http://seti.org/talks

One of the most intriguing and controversial recent ideas in cosmology and string theory is that the Universe is highly inhomogeneous on the length scales much longer than its currently observable part, with many of the fundamental "constants" of Nature varying on the ultra-long length scales. Our location in this cosmic landscape is to a large extent determined by requiring that the local particle physics parameters should allow for life to develop. Dr. Dubovsky will review the origin of these ideas and explain how they can be supported by the near future observations of astrophysical black holes.

Wow I can't pay attention because he says "ah" too much. It's too annoying.

[Arjetube]

[djvdiddy]

I'm sorry, could you repeat that??

[acr08807]

@SingleSpiral In another universe, no doubt, he gives the talk without the "ahs."

[PillyAndGirl]

Every genius I have ever known says "ah" a zillion times. I am used to it.

(Sorry for 3x ) Tip for SERGEI: Put more text on your sheets..Than you have more hints for your story. Now your story goes from left to right to up & down. After 30minutes its imposible to know what your taking about. I looked 45min and it was torture!

I shouldn't have read the comments before watching the video. I only hear aaahhs...



[patrckdk]

Actually it's very very funny!! I've never laughed so much watching a scientific lecture.

Come on don't be too rude with the guy, I believe his "Ahhhs" are meant to be punctuation marks.
