      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"!

    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".

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @johnvonhorn2942
    @johnvonhorn2942 8 лет назад +16

    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 :))

      ***** humans are the only self domesticated species, and, providing the vast time scales of social evolution it was only normal that a certain category of us would get at the helm of that process. i was fascinated by reading about a natural process encountered in various niches, that takes the form of a paradox: in some rich environments the biodiversity among tree species, for example, is poorer than in zones with scarcity. the explanation is that in the areas with plenty of sunny days per year, with rich soils and abundant water, some species that got the slightest head start, eventually began to leave their rivals far behind in their battle for the light of the sun. thus the gap can only grow in an accelerated fashion, eventually a few species having grown spectacularly and leaving the others in the dark (besides the sunlight there were other factors including subterranean root wars). the very same kind of process created a huge discrepancy in human society, hence some individuals have almost god like powers (god equating an entity who can predict the future, has the means to change it and has powers over human life). for the last century, enormous financial entities had besides virtually unlimited amounts of money, the power to access the new realms of science. today almost all research is privately funded meaning the results of research into: behaviour of the masses, individual psychology, cybernetics, economics, genetic research, disease research, human life expectancy, meteorology, geology, information theory, signal theory, etc etc are all under private rights and ownership. if you ad to this the power of todays super computing machines you get the real possibility that the elite few have the capacity of seeing into the future (like some banks provide their top customers access to research into how global warming will affect markets and especially agriculture related business) and the means to change the future, or at least adapt to it beforehand. the same means gave them power to engineer society, to program those semi domesticated primates you talk about, the manufacturing of consent as adam curtis puts it in his series. i recommend "the century of the self - happiness machines" to see a history of this process. one can only dream at what kind of insights into the human mind and means of controlling it can some muster with the aid of 2015 science.

      +anywherein12seconds - Yet their hubris will catch up to them. These you mention are among those who are behind the destruction of their own life-support system in their rush to poison the rest of us for profit (babies (the young of humans) born pre-polluted with +/- 200 synthetic chemicals detectable in their cord blood). These are those who have always lived uphill, upstream, upwind of the fallout of their actions; yet now their toxic waste is detectable in the most remote places on Earth. They can run, but they can no longer hide.
      Though they obviously have more resources and can make sure to have less exposure to the toxins, radiation, etc they cannot escape the fact that they, too, are biological entities. Or that all life on this planet co-evolved and is therefore really part of one system.
      The privitization of scientific research, or knowledge itself, is an important issue, as you point out. So it the privitization of life itself - as in 'patents' on life forms. Which, though explicity forbidden in the US constitution, have been granted - not just on mangled life forms from corporate labs - but also on life forms those corporations had nothing to do with 'creating'. The legal (sort of) fiction of the ownership of life should have everyone on the planet in protest. Especially as these corporations are successfully claiming the 'rights' of People.
      'Slavery is the (psuedo) legal fiction that People are property. Corporate persons are the (psuedo) legal fiction that property is a person.'

    Could mass and gravity be an emergent property relative to energy forming what we see and feel as the passage of time? In such a theory the ‘language’ is geometry in the form of spherical 4π symmetry forming and breaking. This would naturally form 3D space with the potential for entropy ‘disorganization or randomness’ and also the potential for ever greater symmetry formation as in E8, chess and funny videos! Time is a variable ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π with an uncertain future unfolding relative to the energy of our own actions. Energy ∆E slows the rate that time ∆t flows as a process of continuous creation relative to the energy & momentum of each object or life form. We see 4π in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π representing the movement of charge as the future unfolds photon by photon. 2π represents cylindrical symmetry we see this in the Planck constant ħ=h/2π being a constant of action in the dynamic geometrical process of space and time!

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?
