Multiverses & Wormholes with Brian Cox & Neil deGrasse Tyson - Cosmic Queries

What properties are fundamental to the universe? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice take a deep dive into multiverses, inflation theory, wormholes, and quantum entanglement with particle physicist Brian Cox.
How different would the universe be if gravity were stronger? We explore what adjusting fundamental properties of nature would do and if the universe would even be able to form. What happens to the luminosity of a star when you change the gravitational constant? What is luminosity? Learn about Brian’s multi-city tour Horizons where he explores questions of the universe.
Is it possible that the laws of physics could be different beyond this universe? Are there galaxies beyond our horizon? We discuss the theory of internal inflation and bubble universes and how other universes could be different from our own. What is the underlying law of our universe? We break down string theory, quantum mechanics, and the many ways we could’ve arrived at the universe we now have. Can you really time travel through wormholes?
Are there microscopic wormholes? Find out what Albert Einstein, Nathon Rosen, and Kip Thorne all thought of wormholes. If there were permitted time travel would that mean there is no free will? Brian spoils the movie Interstellar and we learn about quantum entanglement. Could space and time be derived from something deeper? Could it be that entanglement is the fundamental thing that produced space? Is there an edge of the universe? How far are we from it? Just like an electron microscope, could we make a quark microscope to see things seven smaller? Could we someday see the strings from string theory?

There is a wonderful section of the book, "The 3 body problem" that imagines unfolding a subatomic particle. It starts with 1 dimension, then 2, then 3, and continues up to the 8th dimension. At the 8th dimension the particle is as large as our entire universe, but beyond that the imagination of even the wisest could not comprehend. My mind exploded. It was wonderful.

I've used the analogy of 2d creatures living on an emensely large expanding balloon, as a wya to explain how we can see space expanding but not find a "center" of that expansion The extension of the analogy is that our universe is "expanding" in 4dimensions, but we being 3d beings, do not have the ability to percieve where that expansion center is; as it is "right angles" to everything else... Could this fit with the idea that space-time is an emergent property of "higher dimensional" expansions???

Someone needs to tell Chuck that when he joked about the speed of light being a limit programmed into a simulated universe, he was very close to realising that everything moves through space-time at the 'speed' of light (not really a speed given that it's a rate of change of both distance and time, as opposed to just distance, but 'speed' is my best attempt at a description) this arises beautifully out of rearranging the Gamma equation (for time dilation) so that (1/gamma)^2= 1 - (v/c)^2 rearranged again gives us (1/gamma)^2 + (v/c)^2 = 1 the equation of a unit circle, (the most beautiful equation in my opinion) is x^2 + y^2 = radius^2 our movement through time and space must always sum to 1 (the radius). for slow objects, we travel almost exclusively through time, and very little through space. Light on the other hand travels at the fastest speed (unit 1), and thus experiences no time, which fans of physics will know.
