Infinite Worlds: A Journey through Parallel Universes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- The multiverse hypothesis, suggesting that our universe is but one of perhaps infinitely many, speaks to the very nature of reality. Join physicist Brian Greene, cosmologists Alan Guth and Andrei Linde, and philosopher Nick Bostrom as they discuss and debate this controversial implication of forefront research and explore its potential for redefining the cosmic order. Moderated by Robert Krulwich and featuring an original musical interlude, inspired by parallel worlds, by DJ Spooky.

so what a person who translates for
I'm very interested.
What about the thing holding the multiverse like the omiverse
Rudy Burdick looks like you are ready to translate for donald trump.
Russian scientist don't seem to be nerds at all. Or maybe they are just so manly that even their nerds aren't nerds to us.
What makes these people so amazing is not necessarily their incredible mind but rather their humbleness.
definitely both! :-)

In the pursuit of the truth of the nature of our reality, one must first face the reality that our we don't know everything, so we should be open to anything.
Carlos Hernandez
I'm open to you not knowing a god damn thing you are talking about, are you open to that possibility?
He's speaking of God in a figurative sense, no a being. Same as Einstein did.
The most fascinating part is realizing the universe has spawned creatures capable of understanding it. The graph matching the predicted observations is indeed amazing. We are the universe's way of understanding itself.
Yes , imagine a group of atoms collecting themselves to understand wtf is going on 😀
The most fascinating thing is there are both, even a spectrum, of people capable of being aware of a universe or aything outside what they know for sure.
We are the imperfect representation of a higher more perfect universe Pythagoras

Welcome to the realisation mentioned in the last line.
I just love listening to Brian; not only is the subject fascinating, but he sounds so idk, excited about sharing it - and so clear. Much like Sagan, Nye, Dawkins, Tyson and Krauss, their lectures are absolutely riveting.
Raubhautz I'm riveted
BRIAN'S THE BEST ONE THERE... ALAN SEEMS A BIT COOL
Nye shouldn't even be in this conversation...
Nye neither tyson , talk about over inflated egos
Please do not include Bill Nye with the likes of Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Neil Degrasse-Tyson please. He doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same paragraph as those great thinkers. Bill Nye is a hack.
Truly exceptional.
It makes you think how small and insignificant we are yet the potential is unlimited. Loved the sense of humor too.
Outstanding. Brian Greene explains things so clearly. As far as the multi verse theory goes, made a believer out of me. Thanks Brian.
Infinity, might be, from a Logical Verifiable Scientific reality, impossible to prove, or verify. After all, there can be no end to that verification process. Recently, in Quanta Magazine, I have read that Mathematicians now, instead, use an Alternate Phrase, "Big Numbers Sets", and they also figured out that using smaller limited sections, from "Big Number Sers" allows their Super Computers to render "Patterns Within Those "Smaller Sections" from "Big Number Sets"! How many "Super Computers" can You Afford to melt down in an unlimited numbers row? Always retreat back to your imaginations, and keep attempting to find "The Way"!
Without proof? This is getting familiar and I can't quite put my.....Hail Mary full of...
Thanks for top notch wisdom of our era, for free - and without commercials! Brian Greene really did something for mankind organizing the festival and uploading to UT free of charges. To this particular part, I do not know how Andri Linde is doing it, but he can really be funny.
I agree this host should listen and not interrupt so much he cut in often and with disregard. Having said this it is a fantastic and stimulating series. Love it.
Gotta love Brian Greene, the way he translates cosmology to people in general but he inspires colleagues also to visualize concepts consistent with the equations. Einstein imagined his ideas first then worked it later. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand".

An infinite universe or multiverse may seem weird or too difficult to comprehend, but when you think about it, a finite universe or reality is perhaps even more weird. Either way, I'd say the true nature of reality is truly weird!!!
Yeah, nice to think that we are an alien simulation wich creates random worlds when "Jonny" spams "create" button in science class...
@@artopiiparinen1778 yours is far closer than the premise here. MWI is actually dead in the water and pretty much nonsense, but great for comics. what's far more fascinating is the holographic theory where the information is encoded in VAST 2-D branes.. but they are separate and unique realms (and not that many, perhaps 7 for the Bulk). when a NDExperiencer or Sage pierces the veils they can see them realms. but they are definitely NOT alternative timelines
I can't see there being a single or even a multiple reality,and with individual people their reality is certainly different than mine and yours simply because we do not exist in a certain time nor place,but rather a realm that is lost in a vast expanse in which our lives are played out forever.
It's easy for me to say that at the moment of death we are reborn to life,as I believe we are a conscience awareness of our God.
Look up the definition of simulation
@@artopiiparinen1778 Look up the definition simulation
Dr Greene, you must be the most talented presenter of complex ideas in an approachable way. Thank you for making cutting edge science something I can now include in my own outlook, very much appreciated.
I ❤️ professor Greene for creating such a great institution.
I must have watched this 20 times or more. I’v never heard this explained so beautifully before.
The more of these that I watch, the more I learn that we know next to nothing at all about reality.
I can co relate with this video very much as my religious books like Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharat, Bhagwad Geeta, Puranas are filled with such stories, realities and concepts.
It's great to know that these scientists are also attuned with the spiritual side of these concepts. It is a wish to work under these great physicists.
I am not a bible thumper but was incouraged to read it and if read carefully many people in the bible also discribed being moved to another dimension or reality as well. but I will definately look into these other regigions as welll
One of the most interesting and entertaining presentations on YT. I wish I had been there. Even more, I wish this same group could come together again and rehash this based on all the new information we have gained since 2009.
To have the same group together again in 2021 would be very interesting !!!
No no, 2022

I already know what they are going to say,i've watched them talk so many times about this BUT:Never gets old
Between you and all your doubles in parallel universes where the same video (or something very similar) exists, you all have probably watched it billions of time through. 😊
and just how relentlessly charming is Brian Greene
What Einstein did in General Relativity, in a nutshell is this: Gravity had been measured assuming space and time were constant. Doing that led to the conclusion that gravity was a force, which it could be, but then it would be a completely unique force and quite mysterious. So Einstein let space and time be a variables instead of constants. He eliminated gravity as a force but that still allowed celestial bodies to have their momentums and move in circles, etc. His reformulation also allowed, but he didn't see it at first, for an expanding universe instead of one that contracted. The contracting universe idea was based on thinking of gravity as a force. I'm not sure, but I think Einstein had at one time claimed that the universe was static in size and thought all the celestial motions would just go on forever, except of course he knew suns would bow up or burn out, but other than that, same forever.
Note that QED (quantum electro-dynamics) rejects general theory of relativity and posits a gravity as a force mediated by a flow of graviton particles, though none has ever detected such a particle and at this point, 2017, it seems unlikely such a particle will be detected. Both theories can explain the motion of celestial bodies.
Multiverses don't explain anything, but they merely guess that hard to explain phenomenon, like black holes or dark matter, arise when the properties of our universe just happen to interact with the mostly different properties of another universe, the various universes generally not interacting much at all. Interaction can only occur within a framework of similar properties that allow for interaction.
BTW, way back in 1789 Immanuel Kant ( in Critique of Pure Reason) had an inkling that human reason might be lacking, but he noted, that if it is we'll never know....except in cases that reasoning seems unable to produce satisfactory explanations and two or more explanations seem equally plausible. Such situations would imply something else is afoot, but we will not be able to describe it within the limits of reason, and thus would not be able to describe it or explore it at all.
My amusement was that scientists often speak on another level, and some of the guests in the panel knew this, leaving others to over explain for the event. I sensed a bit of uncomfortable silence, and a bit of figiting, as the Russian physicist went over the average viewer ( or audience's) head
OMG this is fantastic great talk Brian and Andrei

When minds like this get together, it's so refreshing to be presented with geniuses taking the mickey out of themselves with their tongue in cheek humor. Theses are minds who appreciate the magnitude of the subject and yet have the innocent childlike prankster attitude to make it palatable and pleasurable for the rest of us. Cool!
Never tired of watching again and again and putting mental efforts to understand you guys
Great explanation of how objects curve space. Haven't been able to get my head around that notion before then. Great talk!
Brian Greene is so interesting, and Andrei Linde is so fun, I love these talks.
Man, I can't get enough of Brian Greene. It has been 8 years since this video was uploaded. 19 year old me binging on all of his videos. He's got to be one of the bests, if not, the best around here. So humble, so humorous, so soothing. I kinda have a man crush on him😅
I've spend an entire day binging on science lectures and these meet ups. The universe is a wonderful mystery!
Time well spent my girl! :)
His interjections are more like interruptions, at first it was wholesome. By the end you just dont want him to talk.
They’re all like this. So annoying

"THATS WHY ITS BLUE" 💙
What is blue?
That was truly the highest point answer.
I just discovered this channel today and my god do I feel gypped by life for not discovering it sooner. The most fascinating topics to me.
This is one of the best debates i have ever came across. Absolutely loved the conversation.
Great panel. Five dudes at the top of their game.
Great musical interlude, i love to play drums over it with a Danny Carey-esque feel
We love it when you say it these ways; it makes me proud that you're telling us, and disappointed we couldn't hear and see each other much better much sooner. Thank you for sharing.
Andrei Linde is so funny! This talk was engaging and enriching like all other WSF talks I’ve seen. I can’t wait to go in-person one day. Thanks Brian Greene and WSF!
The interviewer rejects these theories because of a grandiose sense of self-worth. Ego is his biggest barrier to broadening his understanding.
Rookie Collins ego is much more destructive than that in all aspects of our lives.
Rookie Collins I think he does that, so they will explain better
He's not rejecting the theories moron. Robert is a stand in for an audience that may not be versed in the subject and asks questions to get more elaborate or consice answers. You really have no idea how these panel discussions operate. He hosts a Radio Lab. He 100% understands this science better than you.
@@acetate909 Lol, calm yourself dude... No need for name calling. :) Doesn't make you look too bright yourself, neither does the edgy Satanic hand symbolism... Devils horns, right? I think that's a mudra that originates in Buddhism, used in meditation... Old symbol, and not Satanic in origin.

The devil horns hand symbol has the palm facing out. I'm just making a dumb hand gesture at my girlfriend, unlike your screen name, I'm not trying to impart demonic meaning into it. Your comment is like a psychiatric selfie that you're _projecting_ into text.

Just life itself and the universe is so amazing I honestly can’t get my head around it and for our universe to maybe many of a million?!!
If this doesn’t make you appreciate to be alive then you better start taking life for granted bc for all this to happen either on purpose or a random we are lucky to be alive and be intelligent life forms!
I love science but I’m fascinated with everything beyond the stars. ⭐️
This was absolutely worth it just for Andrei’s sense of humor. That finance joke at the end has me crying laughing right now.
Brian Greene: a man who found his true calling.
loved that russian scientist, so fun :D
A great phycisict too :)
During my short stint at M.I.T I had the good fortune of working with a Dr. that worked in a small lab located in the basement at Harvard and he proved to me the existence of a Parallel universe which was a lot like our universe but with small differences. He was able to prove how both universes vibrated at different frequencies which once he isolated the frequency of the other universe he was able to send/receive objects from the other side. Once he sent his lab partners car to the other side and never saw it again but did get a auto CD player in return. What made that so amazing was it was 1985 and our side hadn’t came out with CD players yet. The man had a 220 I.Q and was the most brilliant myopic S.O.B I’ve ever known.
He was once Steward of Gondor, I believe.

We are just a grain of sand in this vast infinite conscious universe, & yet we are part of everything.
We are not alone. I've encountered what i called Galactic civilization on my one Out of body experiences, they are more advanced, time is irrelevant there.
I can sense there's life there, but i was pushed away because i carry fear on my Consiousness & that place only radiates on love, peace, abundance, oneness, compassion.
The pineal gland is the portal to another dimensions / realm of collective source of consciousness!
Meditate, stay at peace, stay on oneness, stay on love.
To this day I'm still shock on what I've seen, that when i came back in my physical body, it feels like this life is a dream. A very sacred dream, that our existence on earth is nothing but an brief instant.
Physical body dies, Consiousness transitions.💕
THANK YOU for enlightening our consciences and minds. Always very instructive, human and respectful !
The ending statements of andre linde is profound, humorous, and poetic.
i don't know why many people dislike the host so much. as a non cosmo scientist person, i feel.the host, hes presenting common people with their common understanding
Interestingly in old scriptures from hindu philosophy also in line with Multiverse. We are now reinventing in different manner. But arguments are so lovely that it never gets old.
This is the funniest bunch of physicists so far. I love that they can crack a joke while talking about serious stuff like cosmology 😄 I also like that the guy asking the questions, is asking all the questions I want to hear. And the mic drop at the end deserves an applause
They should just have Brian Greene translate after each speaker speaks.
Like college professors, there's no denying they are really smart and know what they're talking about - they just have trouble explaining things to people who arent in their field and dont already understand what they are trying to say.

Amazing!! Kudos to this guys who are thinking outside the box!
Love the live music that went on way longer than expected. Great work.
After watching this video and then researching REM sleep patterns, I have concluded that when we dream, we get a glimpse into a parallel universe where there is an energy akin to our own.
Wow. Great. Real scientific.
For fuck sake
Sounds like a good explanation for at least some forms of paranormal activity.
Furthermore it looks like there are plenty of possibilities for consciousness to carry on after the physical (physical to us here) has ceased. Rarther than oblivion.
Excellent. And for that beautiful conclusion, Andrei; thankyou!
Brian Greene should just host all of these.
Does the expansion of space/time slow time down? I would think so because constantly moving faster
I wish the moderator didn't interrupt the Russian scientist too much. I could follow along with what he, the Russian scientist, was saying but apparently Krulwich the moderator couldn't. I'm not a scientist.

Absolutely fabulous !!!
Amazing 👏. I'm forever finding validation in these gentlemens work.. I wasn't able to conceptualize this ..until now
Multiverse ! Nice to know, wonderful to observe. Now, can we just get along here on own little "bubble" ? Or are we going to fight and argue until we burst this beautiful bubble and scatter the particles into nothingness ? All our worries & questions never to be resolved......
I enjoyed this festival
hi smita i'm from brzil, moving to u.s.a this year for a master degree

I absolutely loved it!!
Please Where can I find a transcript for this Lecture ?
:D
So let me ask this: When scientists talk about the universe expanding, is it the underlying substrate, our pocket of space known as "the observable universe", both, or something else? I think what is confusing me the most is that between Andrei's visual and Brian's visual it seems like there may be a subtle difference in representation. Put simply: Do these multiple universes have definite boundaries like soap bubbles or holes in Swiss cheese? Or, are the boundaries merely there to draw distinction between one pocket of space and another, like boundaries on a map?
**Edit: I found an answer to my first question, plus I finished the rest of the video. I think Robert Krulwich was not the best choice to head this forum, or at least he could've saved his grievances until the end.(Brian Greene seemed visibly peeved by the end.) Andrei Linde was hilarious though.
desconcie
I'm afraid I don't understand.
Can we propose this?
Imagine an infinite multiverse that has no beginning and has been expanding forever and will continue to expand forever. Thus giving rise to an infinite number of universes at any point in the multiverse's evolution because, no matter how far back we go, we can always go back infinitely further so the multiverse has already expanded for infinity and therefore spawned an infinite number of universes (and that number will continue to grow even though it's already infinite). As soon as infinity is allowed to roam free things seem to get really weird.
Now ... could you describe all of that insane and infinite complexity in nothing more than all the infinite numbers between zero and one? Maybe all of that insane, infinite complexity is no more profound than all the infinite numbers between zero and one and the multiverse is insanely trivial :))
It blows my mind to think that, as infinity is introduced it almost trivialises endless complexity and blows anything sane out of the water. If you can wield infinity then you are a Master of the Universe (and who wields the wielders? [He Man holds aloft his sword, I hold aloft He Man]).
There could well be an infinite number of universes! I wonder if there is some kind of exclusion principle? So the multiverse does not bother to create an infinite number of exactly identical universes. An infinite number of "mes" typing this exact same comment into RUclips. And that infinity is a trivial infinitesimal in the grand cacophony. Perhaps the multiverse is rigged so that it doesn't bother with exact copies or maybe it simply doesn't care and everything exists including infinite copies and infinite copies with one sub atomic particle in a slightly different state and ... so on.
What are the philosophical ramifications of this? If we've already got an infinite number of universe that have already been created and yet we're constantly expanding and creating more isn't that leading to a paradox? We've already created everything so how can we carry on creating? The multiverse contains itself? An infinite regression. Is there some kind of moronic banality in all of this? (Sorry multiverse, please don't destroy me just yet)
And anyone that denies the allowance of an infinite multiverse or is uncomfortable with it will need to answer the question; well what got the multiverse started? What is the multiverse contained in? And then, "what contains that?" and so on, back to our god - infinity.
I'll carry on watching these. Awesome pub conversation to have down at "The End of Time". Certainly won't get you laid though. Women tend to switch off when you start talking about science shit :))
That musical interlude though :)) Pretentious cheese
Science takes just as much blind faith to believe in as the many religions do, doesn't it?
No, because science works to predict, test and falsify theory, whereas religion simply swallow whole whatever the priest puts on the plate.
John von Horn Not me, love a good conversation about physics, the cosmos and quantum mechanics to the point it becomes philosophy or time to call a cab cos even the designated driver only abstained in every other universe...
Lucille de Lorme ~ Splendid attitude. I watch these wonderful talks while my wife is working in the garden and then try to explain them to her during our long evening walks and she listens patiently and just like the best of us can only mutter - wow.
This would explain the ridiculous odds of us being here in the first place. If there is a multiverse every possible outcome would probably come true, giving that there’s so many pocket universes, some multiverse bubbles could have different physics then ours, so it would make it more plausible for us to exist like do with the odds stacked against us of being here in the first place, because in lots of other multiverse bubbles there might not be life but in others there will be life, so with all that in mind maybe that’s why we can’t find aliens, because we are the only aliens/intelligent life in our pocket universe! It’s a mind blowing hypothesis but it does make a bit of sense how we came to be in the first place giving that if you changed the the laws of physics ever so slightly, we wouldn’t be here today. I love this discussion and it was so enjoyable to watch, it was very informative and funny at the same time.
It may make sense to you but it offers no proof whatsoever.
1:42:28 That story and joke were so good that, alone at home, I started applauding along with the audience XD

Great talk, and I love how the moderator kept it light mooded and funny, while staying on topic and keeping it interesting.
I checked it 100 times, these are my heroes, the moderator I think is not a bad, humorous style
Wow. Makes me feel smaller and less substantial than before. Good thing we're all everlasting energy.
How things have changed! Alan Guth was ridiculed for his study about string theory. And now he is celebrated and acknowledge.
Arubagyal gyal good point about Alan Guth and others which is why even thou I am tempted to make fun of all of this I try and keep an open mind and my mouth shut.string theory may turn out to be a dead end but some pretty smart people think there is something to it.
sorry but String theory can exist quite happily with 10 dimensions and certainly doesn't lead to MWIs
Where is the god Factor
Thank you so much! This is simply the best video ever! It works! Tested it myself! Thank you very much. God bless you.
How can I get a recording of this music? I love it 😀!
People have a hard time accepting these theories just as they did accepting that the earth was round and that there were other continents, just as they had a hard time accepting that slavery was wrong, and having sex outside marriage didn't mean that you were going to be burnt forever and ever and ever with fiery torments. Isn't is great to know that people are finally starting to move away from the ancient ideas about God and are embracing agnosticism, atheism, and a more kinder understanding of spirituality? I knew you'd agree....
Minor mistake in the conversation:
10 to the power “120” = 1 followed by 120 trailing ZEROS.
However,
10 to the power “-120” = 1 followed by 119 leading ZEROS.
Example:
103 = 1000 (with 3 trailing zeroes) but
10-3 = 0.001 (with 2 leading zeroes).
Way you wrote this seems wrong
This is intensely good!
I love this mixed with the music.
I love these discussion topics. I just wish Brian Greene would moderate every one of them. Each time they have a journalist moderate them the person feels that they have to be a comedian and continually interrupt these brilliant panelist with their stupid jokes. Why? How many of us tune in to these science videos to hear a comedy act?
It did give a silly atmosphere to a serious subject. Almost mocking, in fact. Not all journalists are that flippant when moderating. Some are well versed science writers, others... aren't. "Let the guest finish his thought" comes to mind here though.
I understand the concept and need for and "layman" mediator but is it really necessary to find the absolute lowest common denominator...
'lowest common denominator' PMSL
Lol damn bruh
I agree.
Just compare the expert humbleness of Brian and the rest to the sarcastic, proud ignorance of the "host".
Curiously, the ignorant and unintelligent just dismiss your fair criticism in their comments...
Can anyone identify the piece of music that was played in the interlude?
My question is does the configuration of the DNA molecule have a limit although the number of configurations is astronomically huge because that would have extremely weird implications if that's the case i.e. natural cloning.
Great discussion! There's a really good book on this called “ Moving Through Parallel Worlds to Achieve Your Dreams."
Perfect picture of what's really going on.
