35 Subatomic Stories: Do we live in a simulated multiverse?

Ғылым және технология

There are many provocative ideas that have been proposed about the ultimate nature of our universe. In this episode of Subatomic Stories, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln discusses the possibility that our universe might actually be a simulation.

    Dear Dr. Don: You are an internet friend. I am happy to say I look forward to your video every week. I am sure when the pandemic is over you will be busy back at Fermilab and we won't have the pleasure of your wonderful personality. I hope someday to visit Chicago. Maybe after the pandemic is over. How would I visit you to shake your hand and say hi? I am one of your big physics fans in Corvallis, Oregon Rick Wilson

    😢 Sad that’s the end of the series. It’s been my favorite on this channel. I gather that going deeper into the math is assumed unviable for KZread, but I wish there was more to this series. The lecture portion of each video seemed to be ~10-15 minutes on average, for (very roughly) ~6-10 hours on all of particle physics and astrophysics. 😑 Ah well. You still did a great job with it. Gratitude to DOE for supporting this endeavor (and FermiLab, obvs!). And gratitude to you, Dr. Lincoln, for putting in such a thoughtful, consistent, and sincere effort to share understanding of physics with everyone that understands English. Channels like this are a validation of the positive potential promised by the internet. I’ll be looking forward to the next series. 🙂

The pandemic pushed me into a retirement that was a couple months sooner than I had planned and it was a sudden and unexpected change in my life. You reminded me each week with your closing line that I was not the only one displaced and somewhat isolated. Be safe and well. I am looking forward to the new series.
