The Multiverse: What's Real? | Episode 1801 | Closer To Truth
Is the multiverse real? What could be more startling than many universes - multiple universes, innumerable universes, perhaps an infinite number of universes? But does the multiverse really exist? Featuring interviews with Max Tegmark, Laura Mersini-Houghton, Paul Davies, Andreas Albrecht, Alan H. Guth, Anthony Aguirre, and Carlo Rovelli.

The individual interviews available on the CTT website are very informative and illuminating; it's interesting to see the snippets threaded together in episodes like this. One minor point: I assume that the ads are necessary in order to fund the online availability, but they are quite annoying.

Excellent Video.... Love these informative vids ....So many great interviews with world's biggest thinking minds .
Only 13.8 billion years have passed since the birth of the universe. This is a very short period. Only a short time has passed since the birth of the earth. To explain that complex human-like mechanisms have evolved over that period, we need a lot of worlds.

I always learn something about subjects like this that other presentations seem to miss. It escaped me that multiverses generated by inflation are considered different by (most?) cosmologists from multiverses generated by quantum physics. . It makes sense that these could be two different things but in all my years of interest in the subject I'd never heard that specifically brought up. Again not the first time that this series has helped me understand some of the more nuanced elements of topics like this as understood among the people who work in these fields.
It seems to me that these guys are all engaged in metaphyisics.

Oh good, in that case you can tell me, in clear unambiguous terms what exactly is meant by "multiverse", and exactly how it is defined, but please not by reference to cognates or synonyms or psychological algebra or substituting for one undefined term another or other undefined terms, which my left pocket bets my right pocket you cannot begin to do, and my back pocket bets them both that you are about to demonstrate that by signally failing to set out what you mean by multiverse or defining multiverse or telling me what multiverse might be. And remember no cognates or synonyms or substituting one undefined term with another or other undefined terms or X = Y =X, where neither X nor Y are defined or assigned any particular value or meaning. I think you will discover that multiverse Is a Blurb - a vague generalised or unfocused and unclear term that cannot be focused defined or particularised or rendered into the other than a vague generalisation.

@@Ascendlocal I suppose that is one way avoiding having to tell me that you have no clear idea whatsoever what you mean by multiverse nor are you in any position whatsoever to define the term, and thus since you cannot tell me what multiverse is or what the multiverse might be, my referring to levels of it is just the tiniest bit academic is it not? It's all right, I knew perfectly well that you had not the faintest idea what multiverse is or what you seek to convey when you use that term or what it conveys to you, Because the Word is clearly a Blurb, which is to say that is a word for which there is no corresponding clear and unambiguous idea or concept, or more simply it is an unfocused photograph, by looking at which neither I nor you can determine of what it is a photograph because it is so blurred and lacking in focus or definition. Five gives me 5 million billion trillion that if we divide the fanciful and gibberish "multiverse" into multi and verse severally, you can be of no assistance to me when I come to do determining for what the "verse" bit stands, or what it signifies, whereas the multi-presumably indicates that are more than one verse, so presumably multiverse is some sort of epic poem, but you are about to tell me that you have not any clear idea whatsoever what you mean by multiverse, in which case one or other of my pockets will receive a trifling sum from another pocket, despite the fact that all of my pockets are well aware that human beings are much given to resorting to Blurbs, or proffering photographs of something that is so blurred or unfocused and lacking definition that no- one can possibly determine of what it is a photograph- Not even the one proffering the photograph.

It’s not always clear in these conversations which multiverse (level 2 or level 3) is being talked about.
I like the analogy that our universe is one tree in a forest of universes, each arising from the grounds of an eternal forest. Such an eternity carries the implication that there never was a first universe, nor ever a last. This says that we already have an infinite number of universes but such an infinity is paradoxically always becoming.
would help to find out how this universe start?
Good perspectives.
Great channel. 👍
Could the energy of inflation be used to measure time before the universe, like mass is used to measure time inside universe? Do the high temperatures at start of universe (and before) say anything about energy and time before start of universe?
It's not only chilling for you, Robert, for me too. Multiverse is just a way around "infinity". And NO, the idea is UNREAL!

Could time be used for measurement of inflation multiverse?
Do gravitational waves go back to big bang beginning; maybe indicating something about inflation and quantum gravity?
Do quantum fields and fluctuations extend before the universe?
I would love a debate between Sean Carroll and Lee Smolin...nature seems to be completely different then expected and usually does the opposite then our predictions. Quantum Gravity needs to be explained properly....so long that doesn't happen we can only keep collecting better data. And in the next ten years we will have observational data like never before in history.Wfirst, James Webb, Euclid etc

Multiverse? I can only say is it's possible, but we have know way of answering the question. Yet, it is a very interesting thought nonetheless
After quantum fluctuation start universe with quantum fields, how much energy left over for inflation? Quantum fields for universe use up all the energy of inflation?
What’s a bit disappointing to me is that I want to get excited about the Cosmos and the planet that I know is here. I want my small Scientific mind to grasp at real possibilities and theories that can be eventually proven about my universe. Not fictitious ones that have no way to be proven in my lifetime and most likely never. So no I am not excited I am disappointed. I can go to Netflix for my SiFi fix. One other thing is that the brilliant minds that are out there are weak for not calling these exotic dreamers out.

When the Multiverse idea came to Vogue I remember reading a story that a Russian cosmetologist name Lindau was instructed by the Russian government to give a cosmological lecture in Italy and he said he was suffering from schizophrenia and and he tried to develop a new Theory to say something to the conference and that's what he came up with multiverses and now it has become real.

quantum gravity could provide a finite bound to measure probabilites for universes and cosmos?
The Multiverse is probably the most overblown idea in all of science. It really drives me nuts that people call it a scientific theory. It isn't. It's a hypothesis at best.
Man, all scientists told you many times that multiverses cannot be confirmed yet by observation. Now wait and move to another subject where you could effectively get closer to the truth…

I think of the word “universe” in the literal sense - it’s all one universe; the question of multiverses comes down to how vast is “the universe”. Do I believe in multiple big bangs? Yes. I also believe in cosmic inflation. But what is created, IMO, are unique - not duplicates, not parallels. Do I believe in multiple universes with multiple Robert Lawrence Kahn’s or multiple Neil M’s? Nope. Not for an instant.
How does cosmic inflation indicate multiple universes?

Eternal cosmic inflation (outside universe) does not appear to have quantum wave. If no quantum wave, maybe probabilities not apply to eternal cosmic inflation. Also if no quantum wave, there may not be past, present and future, although time in a general unified sense likely there with eternal cosmic inflation.

Inflation is an extremely rapid expansion. In an inflationary universe gravity seems to get (almost) switched off for a brief moment and that's enough to blow up the universe by many orders of magnitude. There are different opinions about the question if inflation is actually necessary. Personally I am not particularly convinced, yet.
Does a multiverse require an infinite universe? Could not a multiverse have a negatively curved universe instead of infinite flat universe?
there can be multiple universes from inflation producing virtual particle energy probabilities? many cosmos of different inflations generated by quantum gravity? and maybe a number of different quantum gravities developed by mathematical laws of nature?
Predictions of theories?
I believe and feel like I live in a multiverse.

How does inflation relate to time? Is there time before inflation?
Alan Guth talks about rules for comparing one infinity with another. Maybe I don't understand the definition of infinity but it seems absurd to talk about comparing two infinities. The concept of comparing two things that never end and go on forever really doesn't make sense to me. l

My question is very simple. Are probabilistic potentials tangibly real things ? What if a physical process is genuinely, physically, inherently probabilistic ? If a process were genuinely probabilistic then it's associated probabilistic potentials would necessarily exist tangibly. To contrast, we can say that a process can be defined as being deterministic by the non-existence of such potentials. So it would seem a critical question whether probabilistic potentials exist tangibly in the universe, or not. And if you answer that then you can answer these questions about multiverses because it's really the same friggin question for Xist sakes.

Broken hearts are the worst thing on the planet they change a person in a profound way. I travel through many universes because of the pain we vibrate to that which we are. When I was in pain I was in a low frequency and even in the low frequency where the pain exists you have to look at it and you have to understand it in order to get through it. Wherever you go there you are. Everything is what you make of it truthfully. Just imagine the whole world throwing particles of disbelief and misunderstanding at you and tell me how you do. I feel sorry for every one of us because we're not reflecting on what's the real cause of the disconnect. The collective which that is God is only experiencing what you think of it it's like a mirror it's a relationship so God is the whole the dark and the light just understand that however you judge one or the other is the way that you judge your God which is the way that you judge yourself. That's the real ignorance that's the real racism that you speak of. It's perception of what you think light and dark is they have to coexist you have to look at it in order to actually get through it and then come at it with some light and some love and understanding and it changes immediately.
