How Many Universes Exist? | Episode 203 | Closer To Truth 

I love that introduction. I honestly think I'm happiest when Kuhn sounds like a fundamentalist Sunday school teacher. 😇

Alan Guth is a national treasure. I often wonder how he perceives day-to-day life on Earth when compared to his cosmic perspective.

19:24 " the more shocking question is why is it that we never see things being in 2 places at once - at least when we're sober -" 😂😂😂

It is a joy and pleasure to listen to such brilliant minds ,thank you.

The content and it's quality here is incredible!!

This channel is superb! Excellent subjects! 👍🏻

Absolutely beautiful and thought provoking! Thank you!

Good to see Leonard susskinds looking well. My favourite physicist.

The content of this quality here is incredible!!

Watched it years ago and thought the same, absolutely brilliant. The whole package in very limited time.

"How Many Universes Exist? " Only one that we know of.

Excellent programme, you are your own universe.. 🕊

Love your guests. We're so immersed in our biology. Take in , expelling out and so forth. With everything. Our very own universe may harbor regions of non-standard elemental configurations. Weird, light years long tendrils of different laws. Hemmed in and nurtured by great voids of space.

A key issue is identified in the first minute. We use the same word, "universe", for two very different things; absolutely everything and everything we can observe. If we let "universe" means everything there is, that leaves finding an agreed upon term for everything we can (or could possibly) observe from our location in time and space. That might indeed be everything there is but it is premature of us to say that, so until we know, we need new terminology to describe our local cosmos. Suggestions?

"to come closer to truth you have to fight for truth!!..."best video ever!!!INFINITE LOVE TO INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Wow, the Bubbleverse... Awesome!

Good show Doctor!!

I love this channel, they ask all the questions, and more, that pester me.

Great video Lawrence great.

I hope there are an eternal number of universes out there. It would certainly make existence far more interesting and mysterious.

My fav topic 🍿 🤓

For the moment he tries to decipher the mysteries of this universe.

Great!!! Thanks.

excellent questions raised! If you're startled by vast proliferation of zillions of universes, do check out Max Tegmark's theory of mathematical universe. Then ask this question: why is there effectively an infinite number of prime numbers? According to Max, there's no fundamental difference between a mathematical entity like prime number a particular branch in the vast multiverse. Also, they are not "evolving" or expanding, inflating etc, to us time-bound creatures it just looks like they do, if for just a second you'd stop giving time-dimension a special role, then you'd realize that there is no movement, no evolution, no expansion, everything is "already there", nothing ever changes, like set of prime numbers. For you it may take centuries to calculate even a tiny fraction of that set, but the set already exists all at once all the time, it never changed one bit, never will. It's just our illusion of passage of time that puts enormous shackles on our power of inquiry and understanding of how things actually work or might work. Whenever such topics come up, i just referre people to take damn a serious read of Max Tegmark's groundbreaking work, and stop watching anymore of those speculations on YT

Thinking about another universe with the same, but much bigger elementary particles, it struck me that because the scale remains the same, it would all look the same as here. Although there could be a problem with the forces, the light speed.

There may be infinite number of universe but Consciousness which is conscious of them is one. Consciousness is singular and fundamental.

It makes me mad that we'll never discover all of the universe we occupy, let alone the others. ☹️

Do all of the potentials especially with the first example exclude entirely expansion of a galaxy from a seperate universe thru cosmic inflation from every entering a new cosmic horizon / "new universe" interaction given time and probability ?

Wow, mind-blowing episode! I wonder if this means that math is discovered, not invented? Or is it possible for a pocket universe to exist where 1 + 1 does not equal 2?

There's a universe in every mind.

Its amazing that matter exists at all.

The answer to the question is of course "42", as we all know. But it's comforting, that I'll actually win the lottery in a couple of hundred thousand possible universes to come. Perhaps not in this one, but I'm happy for my clones in those other universes. Great stuff and really brilliant minds.

This is an amazing video. But it leaves an important question. If science is composed of the dual processes of theoretical/mathematical construction of hypotheses and then the testing of those hypotheses, where are we as far as science is concerned when our we can no longer turn to empirical testing. Do we still have science?

There are endless Universes--no end to any of it--only endless extensions.. Actions, reactions, endless possibilities, extra dimensions we cannot see and different types of time. We are only in a patch, a small, small patch..

I wonder if there’s any way we can test the theory of multi verse...

One thing is certain: we are surrounded by the Infinity... at our scale, at least!

One Universe with multi-dimensions would be better description of these possibilities

Nice.

1:30 Stanford Quad!! Go Cardinal!! Who has the axe now, Cal??

...the most satisfying docs...in our universe, at least...

I’m more interested in the psychology of wanting to believe in multiple universes. I tend to think that people want to believe in such unknowable things because this one universe we definitely have has been rather a disappointment. It’s like believing in aliens back in the 1970s; it makes the unknown parts of existence much more fun!

Fantastic episode, on a side note, does anyone know what the intro piece of music is from - I'm assuming it's from a classical composer, any help would be greatly appreciated

If inflation is reverse gravity, then gravity in some way participate before and after big bang, as gravity has been fundamental since big bang start of universe? Did gravity then exist in another state or form before big bang start of universe? Is the reverse gravity of inflation then necessary for big bang start of universes / multiverse and why gravity exists within a universe? How does gravity go from inflation before big bang start of universe to gravity within the universe after big bang start?

If the big bang start of universe from quantum fluctuation, could be information from quantum field acting as reverse gravity (inflation) before then gravity after.

請問您做的 "中國脫貧" 影片為何見不到了? 我很喜歡那影片, 可以放上來嗎? 或是哪裡可以看到?

I think the number of universes is either 1 or infinity. I don't think there is any possible middle ground, because if more than one CAN exist, then there should be no limit. But that's the ultimate question, can there be more than one?

Alan Guth's theory of cosmic inflation is theologically based on Judaism, in particular, the interpretation of the first word, בְּרֵאשִׁית, of the first sentence of the first chapter of the first book of Bible. Hebrew 22 consonant letters are pictographic though it is an alphbet linear language as well. the letter, ב, a house or tent; ראשית, the head, chief leader, the subject, He, of the verb (בָּרָא) of the first sentence: בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת־ הַשָׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ׃ JAB (Judism's translation): Within the Beginning, He (Ayn Soph) filled the powers (אֱלֹֹהִים), the skies and the land. KJV(Christianity translation): In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Obviously, according to JAB, the universe is defined as everthing including God, which means: He and His family all came out of the house, in contemporary cosmological term, Inflationary Big Bang. As mentioned in the post, The first resulted from Lucifer, who split from ONE (Deut 6:4), was a Fission Big Bang, simultaneously, got into NONE, and it was immediately disintegrated to the ultimate chaos (תֹּהוּ וָבֹהוּ, Gn1:2 KJV without form and void). Hebrew word, בֹּהוּ, is Emptiness, Nothing the Absolute as suggested by Hegel or in physical term, Vaccum the Absolute (Not Dirac Sea). Therefore, the first bubble from the Fission Big Bang, was absolutely isolated from God the Infinite, and immediately disintegrated to Lucifer dots (Ldot), the ultimate chaos, by Vaccum the Absolute according to the second law of thermdynamics set by God before the Beginning Time Point. In addition, Italian artist Michelangelo also supports that LORD God finished His 6-day creation through His words in His Original Bobble (the Original Universe) in The Creation of Adam en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creation_of_Adam. Finally, LORD God Is Order the Extremely Asymmetric: He (extremely orderly beautifully) Exists (1) & He Doesn't Exist (0). Lucifer in follow his freewill broke the Original Order, and then a restoration of the original order was triggered, i.e. the six-day creation of LORD God. God is Love, who's given the freewill to all His Integral Components including Lucifer. Totally, there're three times LORD God directly intervenes Luccifer's work, the creation, the redemption, and the judgement. (Gn1,2; 1Jn3:6; Rev20:7~15) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K2qnTivUez4.html Therefore, according to the theology of Christianity, black holes were created after Lucifer was absolutely disintergrated to Ldots. (Gn1:2; Is45:7). Genesis (1:6~8) simply describes how He creates heavens. Hebrew word, רָקִיעַ (Gn1:6) means sheet, אֲשֶׁר (Gn1:7) means cord, in the term of string theory, D-brane and string, respectively. May God bless you all. Amen,

Are inflation and quantum mechanics working together in creating multiple universes? The two may be related, perhaps quantum gravity.

Why was episode 1102 posted 9 months ago while this episode 203 yesterday? Have all the episodes been recorded already and they are now being released at a random order?

No matter how grand or large we envision the multiverse to be , if we could see its entirety we might observe even the multiverse as a speck growing inside something even grander. All of our speculation still doesn't answer the most elemental things. What came first? Where does quantum possibility arise from? What created the very essence of anything? What prompted the first of all beginnings? And why did nothing change into something?

Could information from quantum field reach a critical level that triggers inflation? Then maybe inflation reaches critical level for big bang start of universe and gravity, perhaps the creation of gravity particle / quantum gravity? If gravity exist before (inflation), during (big bang) and after (relativity) start of universe, it could generate three dimensions of time in each of which three dimensions of space exist as basis of string theory.

How much of this discussion is speculation and conjecture?

Andrei is correct, it’s fractals all the way down

One common denominator in all this is (vacuum) energy. Where did it come from? Is it infinite? Can it fuel eternal inflation or infinite multi-worlds? Is there any hope of finding an inflaton?

A day when when we probe other universes. That would be a lot of fun.

Understanding the Universe ! Look at a Sun Flower,there is a central Sun and each petal is a Universe,and there is a infinite number of flowers with a central sun.

The “Many Worlds Theory” was first posited in the 1957 by physicist Hugh Everett.

Are the 4 different ways to generate multiverse rule each other out? Or it is possible to combine all/some of the ways together to achieve an even larger multiverse/reality? The second way (different domains quizzed off from our regular space-time) is the most similar to biology, where a mother give birth to a child and the child then can create the next generation in what can be an endless chain of creation. Maybe this familiar natural chain of birth in biology, is a fractal that echo similarity to how the large scale of the multiverse behave.

I don’t understand why people love talking about multiple universes if there is no way to test this.

One day experimental explanation of multiverses will definitely possible., if we take this seriously and by hardworking., that day will not so far

This seems like a video u would have to watch in science class lol...

Do you not think the universe we live in is enough to keep us busy trying to understand. Why worry about other hypothetical universes

How awesome if we could travel through all the universe/es? It's so amazing and mind blowing. That a Force in the universe exist, Creator and powerful! Blessed is IT!

Lenny and his fairy tales. Very amusing stuff.

As if there wasn't enough to worry about in this universe. Now other universes are being imagined. No one will ever be able to know, so it seems a waste of time to even ask about it

Our body is a universe, holds six under-universes, which holds multiple under-universes. The number of universes is endless, as the Life-Units, (Life-Unit-principle)

No matter how many exist, you won’t see even one forever

At last, people realized the world is infinite. What a discovery!

Any Michios' about, before i begin this journey? "Let me tell you a story.." the Val Doonican of physics!

That is hilarious to see matrialist scientist trying to keep the OLD BOXE to define something that can not be confined in a 🥊. Thank you! 👩🏽‍🚀🙈🙉

Multiple universes might become testable if can be demonstrated to come from quantum information as inflation / gravity.

The word / term Universe means "ONE" ! There may be many dimensions and dual time / space events but all just expands our Universe and doesn't create another. With particle / wave theory the moment "it's" not a particle it is a conscious wave making the structure of the Universe Conscious not matterial, which is. Max Planck conclusion.

CTT: How many universes exist? Me: The answer is 42 and we are in the universe number 7. One last thing, beware of universe 13, it is not to be trusted!

universe is a game of someone

Seeking the truth from a quantitative perpective doesn't work, for the greatness of God and His energies is inconceivable. Only from the qualitative perspective we can find the truth, but just because truth finds us.

Mind is a Higher Vibrational Frequency Energy which is connected to the physical human Brain Using hyperdimensional technology Links.

Even if there were multiple universes, one would still need to explain the origin of the Laws governing those universes too. Un-directed random material natural processes have never been observed or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing any form of laws. As scientifically confirmed, non-material laws are the product of only Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence.

Episodes are quite old nonetheless they are amusing and current

How all matter came into being , how?

Finite or infinite number of universes, don't matter at our level of cosmology understanding. Any speculation on the topic is free, but not necessarily true.

I think 5.

There are only 2 possible answers: 1 or infinite. But the Big Bang rules out 1 (this U has a beginning), and therefore there must be infinite number of universes.

Universes have become the new galaxies. Next constellations of innumerable multiverses will be the new galaxies. And so on... Turtles all the way down, multiplying like rabbits as they go...

The burden is on the proponent of a theory to find evidence to prove it's true. As Carl Sagan said, if there's no evidence to support a theory, you should just forget about it.

1. No 2. Maybe 3. Truth…an infinite number.

Sooo many ads! I used to enjoy listening to these while falling asleep but now all I hear are the 30min long ads about toxic poop, Amazon get rich scams & man soap.

That's an oooold computer.

Universe is one. Earth is one. Universe is one.

Our universe might be whatever came from big bang, big bounce or whatever started it.

Robert, You should talk to John Hagelin. He is no less controversial than Dean Radin.

He said that pocket universes form so rapidly that there may be infinite numbers of them. That makes no sense at all. How in the world can there be infinite numbers of them if they are continuously forming ??? A contradiction of the idea of infinity. That in itself proves that what is being said in this video amounts to pure madness

9:24 Robert, you need to have yourself a nice piece of fairy cake!

I really enjoy all your work! Sorry for my sarcasm. When i was 7 years old, i was olways asking OK the Big bag but what before... so frustrated about the immense dogmatique limitation of the alternative way to think our world. ✌🏻👩🏽‍🚀✌🏻

Yes, WE HAVE GONE NUTS... Just as INFLATION spread out the early universe, faster than light, so too might REVERSE GRAVITY come into play at the terminal limits of our universe. Maybe our UNIVERSE HAS TWO TERMINUS POINTS. RECIPROCAL. OCCILATORY..ENTANGLED

lim.1>+infinite! Here you are! :)

What is that haunting introductory music ?

generated Was I generated? We do not make the island universes or the separate universes. Trillions of them are already here. We can imagine them but not make them yet.

What if space outside our expanding universe is infinitely empty, I want to know if there are scientists, physicists and cosmologists who have propounded this, and how many are they?

Every human being alive or in the afterlife is a universe, that how many, remember we all see things differently/ different perception. Doesn't that show you something. Each one of us is a hell or a heaven. We recieve and give off different energies. We are all in different states of consciousnesses.

I lost count so well over one hundred thousand around the asteroid we are on .
