The Bible explains things pretty easy. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"

[@cookergronkberg]

That is an assertion without sufficient evidence, not an explanation. Further, it appears to be blatantly incorrect, as we now know that the Earth formed significantly later than the beginning of the universe.

[@ivanobar1]

The Bible requires belief without evidence, science has no such requirement.

[@xgengx7530]

Quick summary of this video "we really don't know anything" and the more we know and understand things the more we don't know.

[@washcloud]

Funny thing is that when growing up we used to hear/learn/get acquainted with the idea that "the universe is infinite". Later on we came to realize that it's only about a century now that scientists that there's more than the solar system, only to realise a bit later that there's more than the Mlkyway. And much later on they realized that there's even more out there that we will never be able to see because of the speed of light llimitation And fairly recently they also realised that even that might be just a fraction of what the Cosmos possibly is, and to the human mind such a scale is incomprehensible. In other words we came full circle to the idea that the Cosmos is infinate, includig a multiverse that could also be part of another multiverse and so forth. Only it's now we kinda understand how insanely vast "infinate" really is and how restricted our knowledge of that vastness is.... In other words, your comment was so spot on.

[@politics9811]

Dude, these theories are so freaking abstract and out there, it's just mind boggling that there are that many POSSIBILITIES for types of universes (not universes themselves), especially after spending a while flabbergasted at the theoretical size of our objective (not observable) universe... It's insane. Then on top of that, you consider the fact that the universe is equally as small as it is large.

The most fascinating thing about this, is that we are nothing else then matter arranged in a way that allows ourselves (matter itself) to ask: “What am I? Where I come from? How I came to be?” We are nothing else then a piece of universe looking back to itself, trying to understand itself. We are the stars, we are the black holes, we are the planets, the moons, the rocks, the dust, the water, the colors, the clouds, the rain, the snow… we are from the same matter then all of this, we are from all of this, we are nothing else then matter became self aware.

[@StallionFernando]

Nope, we are a creation of God,in his own image, the universe is so vast and big but yet God focuses on us and our little spec of dust that we consider the world. He loves us and knows us personally. The more I learn about the universe the more frightening and awesome the concept of God becomes. We are not pieces of the universe, that doesn't explain our conscious at all.

9:00-10:06 The end of observation.. best comment ever..

[@Jasonejc]

Einstein once said that we would never be able to confirm the existence of gravitational waves. And yet, here we are in the golden age of gravitational wave observation. I think it's short sighted to say we will never be able to view pocket universes.. we simply don't know how we're going to achieve that yet.

[@michalmaixner3318]

+Jasonejc there is fundamental difference though, i think. Gravitational waves were predicted by his theory and seeing them was only question of technology. However, pocket universes cannot be seen in principle, because of cosmological horizon. Which means that nothing which is beyond it can be seen IN PRINCIPLE, due to causality principle (or due to the fact, that light is maximal achievable speed). So in order for us to see somehow those pocket universes predicted by our theory, we need our theory to be false.

[@jamesbra4410]

The irony is that we used his theoretical models to invent the tools needed to prove them

I don't think he said quite that. I think it was among the lines of "it is going to be very difficult to detect them" and that it would require huge amounts of energy energy to do so. Scientists do not tend to say "never" on anything. What's more a jewel in the crown of science such as Einstein.

They say his mistake is that in his older years, he only did mathematics. When he was younger he also visualized a lot more. Just like James Clerk Maxwell did when he came up with his equation for electromagnetism. Even if you need math to describe it and prove, one should never underestimate the power of visualization.

Two ways forward: yes Dr. Susskind there are two ways to explain the current theories (our understanding). But there is a third. Change the frame of how we understand the data. Like Einstein changing our understanding of electromagnetism and gravity, he expanded and fundamentally changed our perspective and thus opened a large new area of discovery and understanding. One hundred years later we seem to have reached the end of this path, much in the way physics in 1900 had played out Newton to the edge of its usefulness to describe large systems. I think the third way forward is simply to change the frame of our perspective. We need another Einstein.

I think we're only in one of these universes. But, I do think that maybe the multiverse itself has a consciousness, it has decided that we should live in one particular universe at this time, it was decided that we should be alive talking to each other right now. It does want humanity to live and learn...it's like a weird Sci-Fi thing, but I think it's true. The random natural disasters that happen...I think it's all part of God...God doesn't have human morality and notions of good and evil like we do...which is why earthquakes kill Christians and you have murders and rapes and torture and stuff...because the real God doesn't care. It's like a lazy, passive, sometimes orderly (fine tuning our existence in the solar system), sometimes chaotic (black holes, supernovae) God, the infinite multiverse itself being God...hence why God has always been there and always will be there, because it's the Multiverse. Sorry if it sounds a bit farfetched.

[@lacodia]

Susskind is as always a joy to watch, and while I agree with most of what he has to say with regard to the idea of a multiverse, I don't think that he put enough emphasis on the limiting effects which logic has on geometry. He did touch on the idea that most other pocket universes would be sterile, but I would go much further and argue that most other pocket universes are nothing more than simple geometries of no consequence. Their physics being too limited to form complex environments. Further, their may be, and probably is only one pocket universe which is both stable and complex. I think that we probably only get one deck of cards, and while you may be able to shuffle it a lot of different ways, there is only one way which is the most logical, and only a few ways which are complex. The rest of the many possible combinations of shuffles will have few logical rules of ordering.

[@GreaterDeity]

+Mark Garcia Logic based on what? Imagine a universe abiding a different set of physical rules, that are stable to the observers in it like we are in ours. They would observe the same about our conditions. For example, in their universe, positrons control charge densities, not electrons. This is a difficult subject to take out from the subjective. Otherwise, we would, in fact, say that other universes that don't obey our geometry or physics, is unsuitable for our perception of order. It really isn't possible to say, given our experience under such tightly constrained parameters. Parameters that would fail our existence, if they deviate their values on orders of the weak nuclear force. Our reality would simply crumble. Now, if I did not regard this, I would certainly claim that most other 'bubbles' are planes of no consequence. That is a far stretch don't you think? How is it that there was an effect to emerge that universe in the first place? A membrane event. There is always a consequence. I think that idea can be further developed given LISO's new detection. To be honest, I really don't know.

[@stephenwatts2649]

The notion of Consciousness is steeped in mystery and debate, and although it is still generally considered to be human only, there are now schools of thought emerging that believe some animals have ‘consciousness’ as well. The idea that it is an attribute unique to us as human beings arises from the fact that we have an awareness of ourselves and the world we live in, unlike most or any of the other creatures. This awareness we have forms the basis of ‘the self’. The reason for our becoming self-conscious, or self-aware, creatures will become apparent later on, when we begin exploring the nature of being human in greater detail. But this human self-consciousness is something quite different in nature to the reality of the Consciousness that lies behind and within everything to appear as the myriad forms in existence. Consciousness inhabits and animates creation and its creatures not unlike the power that flows through a computer to make it work in accordance with the hardware and software of the device. By this analogy, the specific physical characteristics of a creature’s body constitute the hardware, and the programming of its mind the software. These things are important to understand because if this conceptual ground is not firm, the model we build from here will not endure, and its potential value will be lost. What all this is pointing to is that what you really are―what we all are―is an eternal, unlimited energy source capable of creating and experiencing events. What you are is this creative source, this Consciousness. Who you are is how this Consciousness works through you to express as something unique in the world. Powerful creative Consciousness is your true and essential nature, but of course, you experience your life through the limitations of a human body, so it may not seem that you are an all-powerful being at times, or indeed ever. By its very nature, the body exists as some ‘thing’ and is, therefore, a limitation or restriction of ‘everything else possible’, to become something specific and useful―a human being. And then it must be remembered that these bodies we inhabit are a product of Mother Earth, and have developed for good reasons. Although today there are many philosophes, theories and just sheer guesses put forward to explain the purpose of our existence, none of them fully describe or satisfactorily explain the original intention for our emergence. Some bodies born into this world have, or will develop over time, physical or mental attributes that further alter the creative opportunities and experiences available to them in a lifetime. The influence of our national culture, the general culture of our times, and the impact of our upbringing by parents and other significant people also become major influences that can place limitations on our thinking and power. Other restrictions occur as a result of the pains we might experience in life, the emotions that often get buried in the body as a result, and the accumulating limited beliefs they then give rise to. There is also the concept of ‘karmic debt’ that will limit opportunities, and this too will be discussed later in the work. The state of your own evolved Consciousness is another factor affecting personal power. All these things limit the opportunities you have in life, and so it can be seen that although your true nature is something quite grand, you find yourself in very limiting circumstances. But it is important to keep perspective. Your essential nature is a free and unlimited Consciousness, a potential capable of eternal creation and experience. And this Consciousness was the reality before the Universe that we know emerged.

[@raykirkham5357]

Susskind is also very intriguing.

It's illogical and has zero evidence for it. The reason for the multiverse theory is because the most logical explanation for our universe is God, physicist know that the probability of it all coming from nothing or a mere coincidence is so low that it practically doesn't exist and God is a much more logical answer. They reject God and know they can't accept it as a mere coincidence or from nothingness so they came up with the multiverse theory that doesn't really answer the God question or make it go away.

He's right. The rate that we approach the limits to experimentation and observation shows a signficant flaw in our methods. It shows, that as Stephen Wolfram put it, our conventional axioms may not be suitable in the future. We may have to invent or 'discover' an entirely new mathematics. For example, there is no proof, observation or reproduction of inflation over the scale of an entire universe. Anisotropy could simply be fooling us. But, because the mathematics we invented are so consistent and successful, we have accepted it at large. Now we are finding galaxies and stars, that, based on our science, 'should not exist'. Now I find that very silly for us to say. We'll get it right one of these days, in the very far, unforseeable future. New generations will look back on us, like we look back on the heliocentric model. Good luck, humans.

This comment section is horrible for a good video

[@Debonair.Aristocrat]

There are many, genuine web sites available for intellectual discusion. KZbin ain't one of them. Good video though.

[@desmonddwyer]

Where does the energy come from to make all those universes?? 🤔🤔🤔

[@stussymishka]

mind blowing . not just 10^500 universes out there ...10^500 different catergories of universes each repeated over and over. sheesh.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

The word universe is a problem since that should cover everything that exists in nature, not just our little part.

[@bl8896]

As if we weren't insignificant enough

[@davidlucey1311]

Does anyone have any observable evidence, and I mean anything to matter how small, to support the idea they were multiple universes? If we can prove there are multiple universities, what would we do with that knowledge? Isn’t that kind of like saying all pigs can fly but only when we’re not looking?

[@GeorgeStar]

It seems like we are blind mice in a dark room banging into walls trying to figure out where we are and the nature of our cage.

[@dionlindsay2]

Or ignoring the big questions because the answers are now too technical, and just getting on with our lives as best we can. I did a degree in philosophy including mathematical logic and the latter suits me much better.

[@darrylschultz6479]

George Stone Yeah,I know the feeling,that happens to me too-but it's only when I fail to leave straight after my 5th pint!

Poetry really.. that is a perfect description 👌

Yes. Just as in the Twilight Zone episode "Five Characters in Search of an Exit"

When one universe isn't enough.

[@utubepunk]

Bet you can't inflate just one. No? I'll see myself out.

[@andrewdouglas1963]

How did inflation start and what did it start from? If it started from an infinitely dense singularity then how could said singularity become less infinitely dense as would have to happen in order to inflate? That would be an oxymoron.

[@Georgia-Vic]

It started in the 1970's, that's when the sub compact cars with hatch backs came into the scene because of the gas shortages when the middle East raised the price of petrol, I remember because I was 6 years old at the time! 🙄

[@evanjameson5437]

God blew it up!

[@pzolsky]

i can confirm with no hesitation there is at least one

[@danielhaines8411]

I can confirm there's at least 2, yours and mine...

[@travisfitzwater8093]

So, we are a pocket universe within the the QCs Universe. 10 to the 500 is the string theory tally of how many ways there are to combine strings.

[@rogerlivingstone3528]

Personally, I would keep the interviewer's face off-screen as much as possible. I'm not sure why, but I find it highly distracting.

[@BanBiofuels]

Very thoughtful discussion.

[@MBicknell]

This isnt science its philosophy

[@keonr1]

What causes strange things to happen?

[@dancingbubbles1126]

Man, this interviewer is a parody of pretension.

[@johnlannikk2701]

We try to use something that is finite to define the infinite?

[@psyeffect]

Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality. - Nikola Tesla

[@UltimateEnd0]

Sounds like Scientology.

[@fischX]

To be fair, Tesla was proven wrong in that case.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Sounds like many a physicist actually. We know the models are not telling us the actual nature which is why new models are worked on all the time.

[@squarkino1]

psyeffect you are absolutely right

[@johnarmlovesguam]

the math is good

[@CJ-ib2jy]

I don't believe anything is truly random. Unpredictable? Of course. I believe the arguments about random in electrons and other particles has more to do with the way we model these components than any true inherent randomness. And without randomness, the idea of generating new universes falls apart.

[@scottgreen3807]

Might I add that the probability of our universe is so low that others must exist. This aligns you yer talk, I think.

[@iain5615]

This is a possible theoretical hypothesis of what itself is in reality proving to be a hypothesis (string theory). String theory is only a theory because it gives predictions that can only be verified if found (but not disproven if not found unless we understand every aspect of the quantum world - so not a great theory) but there is no actual evidence for it - the LHC was meant to answer if string theory is true but there is still no evidence for it, just absence of evidence which would be expected if it were false. An hypothesis is a metaphysical idea not based on scientific evidence (e.g. Multiverse). A theory is an idea with predictions that can be empirically checked. Evolution is a theory because there are fossils and empirical evidence of small changes driven by mutation, however, the modern synthesis (Neo-Darwinian) models do not have the predictive power to explain this theory which is why these models are falling out of favour.

[@Jonnygurudesigns]

To bad I can't hear the video.. Kind of a big deal.. Not being able to hear the content..

[@abevan71]

Inflation allows 'space' for more possibility. It expands the range of diversity thus increases probability.

[@stickylizardbabyangel]

It is a bit sad, but inflation causes galaxies and baryonic matter to drift apart from each other. So slowly, as the years pass go by, this growing Universe will increasingly be void of interacting matter/possibility, until there are only localized "bubbles" where once there where superclusters and interaction...

[@Numberofthings]

How can you create more space in a fractal? Can’t you have infinite information, therefore infinite space in a fractal? Hello?

[@theodorei.4278]

+CloserToTruth1 Any good book that discusses string theory both in a detailed mathematical way and also good in writing? I' not looking for a bad written book that only the author can understand
