There's infinite you's that hate it and infinite you's that love it. Mind boggling doesn't even begin to describe it. How about time dilation. That blows my mind more than the multiverse, or paradoxes. That you will do everything you can think of doing and all possibilities will play out. I do enjoy this stuff myself too. What really blows my mind though is even though it's you in every identical way and someone would not know the difference but your consciousnesses would be different. If you died and were replaced by another you and people knew that they would say your the same probably but that conscious is gone and would have been known only to you

What if the laws of physics aren't bound to its own universe but instead bound to the very particles that the universe owns? This means that if you travel into another universe, their different laws of physics won't apply to you since your particles were from the other universe. If this is true, I wonder what would happen if a reaction took place between particles from two or more different universes with contradicting laws, reactions like combustion. I really would like your thoughts on the idea.

[@johnyepthomi892]

Wouldn’t mind a weekly or biweekly release of animated StarTalk just like this one. It somehow makes it easier to focus on the information being imparted or the intellectual exchange that’s goes on in such a presentation. But making it frequent might also take away its power. So a moderation in release would be the most appropriate in my opinion if you decide to do so.

This reminds me of a movie called Transcendance, where the protagonist uploads his cousnciusness into a computer before he dies, but the movie treated it as if he was the same person. But I remember thinking that wasn't immortality because his original self still died and ceased to exist, and the new cousnciusness on the computer is an identical copy, it's is own being. I think the only way for us to trully be immortal is with bio engeneering reversing or stopping aging if that's possible. And any sort of cloning or copying you would just be creating new individuals identical to you.

[@xEvilRaptorx]

I remember hearing about an "Immortal" ... what was it, jellyfish? If we can figure out how it regenerates, maybe humans can become immortal. But with that said, an immortal human with an immoral compass would be the doom of the rest of the world

Immortality + time - morals + desire for power = danger to anyone that opposes them or their ideas But for a random person to become immortal till they desire to die, it would probably be pretty interesting and fun

[@danielsantos6437]

@@xEvilRaptorx I get what you're saying, but I don't think it would be that much of an issue, criminality will always exist just like exists now and we aren't immortals. criminals would end up being caught like they are now and sentenced to prison, just like now. However there is a downside to a population not dying of old age or disease,. since it would drastically reduce mortality rate it could very quickly lead to overpopulation issues.

[@Inverted-Compass]

The cross-section of a multiverse is called a classification, thermodynamical pressure uses different gravitys and magnitations of associated degrees within each multiverse function to cause changes in the flow, speed, and pressure of the active magnitude within them. These active changes are our living universe... Max Tegmark's four-level classification model consists of Level I: an extension of our universe Level ll: universes with different physical constants Level lll: many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics Level IV: ultimate ensemble.

[@isatousarr7044]

The concept of the multiverse challenges our understanding of reality, suggesting that countless universes may exist, each governed by its own unique laws of physics. In this vast landscape, quantum fluctuations could lead to the birth of these universes, introducing an intriguing layer of complexity to our already perplexing universe. How might our perception of reality change if we fully embraced this multiverse perspective?

[@AiRsTrIkExXzZ]

I think the multiverse is like this. Decisions by people doesn’t create another universe, instead all the universes appear and they eventually lead to a certain point that is then different to another universe. There’d also be universe with different laws of physics and other stuff that we don’t even know of. There could then be an infinite amount of the same universe, and if our universe is infinite then that’s a whole lot of infinite worlds

[@kadewilliams7925]

I like to think of the universe from its begging (before the big bang?) All the way to its end (the great freeze?) As a solid object. So instead of saying choices create another universe, I think of that other universe, where I made a different choice, as already existing. Same idea of a universe where my shirt is a different color. Time isn't constant, but relative, so that universe where my shirt is red, that happened millions of years ago. And the universe where I decided to have eggs for breakfast instead of cereal will happen a billion years from now.

[@AiRsTrIkExXzZ]

@@kadewilliams7925 what if it’s the multiverse thing and that too. Where you have the multiverse everywhere of different things and laws of physics, and and infinite amount of each same universe with each universe also having what you just said. All those infinities :O

[@johnnyrenfield]

If subtle changes happen like different colored cloths does that mean that the conversation changes too, is there one universe that's having the "right" conversation? Or are we having the same conversation an infinite amount of times. Because the conversation is supposed to happen or because it's the most logical choice to always have said conversation?

[@johnnyrenfield]

If gravity can affect the half-life of particles then we need false gravity to trap photons like a black hole to harness their energy output, is this why we claim we have no stable enough element to start with such a experiment?

[@johnnyrenfield]

What do Gravity, Frequency, Light, Electricity and Magnetism have in common? All things that are very important in existence but only one seen by the human eye? I don't know where to start. 🤘💀🍻

[@DiceDecides]

@@johnnyrenfield Energy, that's all it is. Matter is trapped energy. The more energy there is in one place, there more energy it attracts. Gravity is a big-scale electromagnetism, like all the charges on earth combine to pull the moon. Light is tiny tiny matter escaping because of high energy. Black holes make light orbit them. Since light has incredibly high energy but in a very small area per unit, you need a very big area with dense energy to affect light. Frequency is the energy light has for example, low frequency is red, high frequency is purple light. To reply to the conversation question... in infinite universes you can find a universe with any conversation you can think of with logical choice and illogical choice, in infinity you can find anything.

6:01 Hold up if we’re imaging another universe with elements like molybdenum and such, from OUR universe with our rules of physics, doesn’t that mean that in that other universe with different rules of physics our elements as we know them might not even exist? If the mass of protons and neutrons are different, the rules dictating charge on electrons too, etc, then we can’t even seemingly conceive the ways they could interact with one another to form some kind of life form (“life” even meaning what then in that universe). There could be different rules for things like the speed of light, or the other-universe versions of “elements” that light has to travel through or reach whatever cluster of these “elements” are “life”-forms? Maybe even boldly assuming light as a concept still exists as some sort of moving energy through a medium. This entire thing is still assuming that there’s a concept of space to the this idea of a multiverse? Why do multiverses as a whole even have to exist?? What if there just aren’t multiverses cause we can’t possibly imagine what, if anything, exists beyond our own universe? What do we define “anything” is in a different “universe,” with different “rules” about “things” in them? Maybe we can’t even think of them due to limitations in our brains that are made up of only our elements of our universe, put together and governed in their very interactions with one another that allow us to think about anything by the rules of physics that we have in our universe. That too is assuming we’re taking a materialistic viewpoint on the mind-body problem, saying that consciousness can be explained by physical activity only and not any “non physical” phenomena. Maybe our consciousness could even be from one of these absolutely non-imaginable other “universes” that somehow interacts with ours in such a way that emerges consciousness?

Arvin Ash put out an interesting theory on the big bang recently. Not sure what his qualifications are, but he's been doing physics stuff on KZbin for quite awhile. And when I listen to him about topics that I have heard well known scientists also comment on he's been consistent with them. If I remember it, was something to the effect that the big bang wasn't like a tiny spherical point, but more like a wave. Inflation pushes it along until gravity?, slows spacetime down and stops it, but the I nflation doesn't stop so it just immediately starts building pressure till it blows and the next expansion waves goes out. Repeated endlessly making a new universe each time. Or something like that. Thought it was interesting and hadn't heard it before.

I once heard you talk about the grandfather paradox. If you were able to travel back in time, would you arrive at the same dimension or universe that you came from?

[@BenjaminOienMB]

Long time start talk listener and proudly labeled 'Star Stuff' guy here... The last section on simulated universe theory suggests simulations would likely focus on contemporary civilization similar to how cinema does. However, if we are in a simulation, my understanding of simulations suggests we are in a physics-only simulation. This would be the sort of simulation that defines natural principals of physics lets it sort itself out. All the laws of physics give rise to chemistry, gives rise to life, gives rise to diversification, gives rise to humans, human knowledge, and human civilization. All of these have very statistically uniform progress. Nothing we can point to in any of those systems statistically stands out as not being a product of a physics-only based simulation. No external actor is actually a good thing when discussing simulations. We are a product of the fundamental and natural laws of the universe. Not automatons with unnaturally prescribed, or predetermined constrains. Only the laws of physics as defined would apply, and we would have as good as free will as we can aspire to. More to the point. In a physics-only simulated universe, we can make no assumptions about the parent-universe: energy constraints and thermodynamics let alone similarities to earth, humans, and civilization are unknowns. In effect, earth, humans, and civilization are a curious product of the simulation, but are not programmatically defined or expected/guaranteed outcomes. If we are in a simulated universe, it is seemingly indistinguishable from a theoretical base reality. If we can't measure or quantify any difference between this and an expected base reality, it has zero meaning. ... Chuck references a chain of nested simulated universes. I've heard this a handful of times before. The suggestion is that we are a 50/50 of being a the "real" universe with no simulations or are the last simulated universe waiting to simulate our own. Well... There is no fundamental restriction to how many simulated universes there are in any given universe. So, it's actually a tree of simulations with a single base reality. This means there are many, many more leaves to that tree than the singular base reality in which no tree of simulated universes exist. We land once again at an infinite number of leaves vs 1 base reality with no simulations. ... Also, unfortunately, the assumption that our universe doesn't have a simulated universe, or many universes, nested in it is human-centric. It is indeed possible for aliens to be picking up the slack and making us indeed a node anywhere in the infinite tree. ... All told, I don't believe simulated universe is likely, but I don't think I've seen a satisfying argument against it here.

[@junomiller522]

The state of a universe being "the only universe" isn't a statement of the characteristics of that universe itself but rather a statement of it's relationship (or lack thereof in this case) with other universes. In a multiverse each universe would be defined by their own internal properties, not by their relationships to others. In this regard, the relationship between other universes is a statement of the wider multiverse rather than a statement of individual universes themselves.

[@SvenDeBinj]

@@junomiller522 Exactly. My actual point was that there can't be universes encompassing any and all variations imaginable just because theres an infinite amount of them and for people to consider how potential paradoxes could enforce impossible states that no universe can have.

I call it a multi observable universe which is a better name. Multi verse means different universe in a different dimension/time far away from us but in front of us at the same time.

[@andygold8840]

A matter of semantics: Uni-verse = one story. Thus those things you might prescribe as multiverses are not that, but simply aspects of a one "universe".

[@nanyabusiness6335]

If there are an infinite amount of universes with different physics, there is one that can instantaneously pass through the separation and nullify, absorb, annihilate all universes based on that one universes physics. Add to that, there is a universe that nullifies the effects of the "destroyer" universe, and so on forever. It's paradoxical! If there are other universes that can not under any circumstance interact with each other I think it's possible, but that's to assume circumstance is something that exists in the multiverse as described. Maybe instead of being infinite, the multiverse is finite, yet more vast than anything that can be comprehended.
