The eternal growth of the universe increases entropy always. The universe is not only the observerble universe, and a gravitational force can convert matter into energy decreasing the entropy in the observable universe. All the matter in the universe would come back, becoming energy with the help of the particles that make the gravitational force. The Buddha explained that process in detail. Also, Buddhism explains how 4 fundamental elements become 8 elements and then 24 elements, causing to make the body of the matter (particle), and then become a collection of matter (atoms). Western science is like a baby compared to the Buddha's knowledge about the universe. Some people try to use science to bend science to popularize to support creationism. It is their shamelesness.

@@PurnamadaPurnamidam, Meditation helps people a lot. The CMB radiation doesn't show an explosion. And it is a mirror that hide the history (start) of the universe. A contraction could make matter and antimatter. Antimatter particles can't make large atoms with more than 1 anti-proton. According to the 2500 years old teachings about the universe, The world starts to end during the contraction period of the universe which begins with a rain of liquid energy and destroys the world and heavenly worlds including material Brahma worlds within a duration called Sanvatta Asankhya Kalpa. The contraction of the universe continues without material worlds during Sanvattai Asankhya Kalpa. And then, the universe starts to expand with a rain of liquid energy called Sampatthi Mahamegha during a similar period called Vivatta Asankhya Kalpa. Also, the duration of the further expansion (called Vivattai Asankhya Kalpa) that starts with the formation of worlds is similar to the duration of the first period of expansion that filled the universe with a rain of liquid energy beams (called Sampatthi Mahamegha), the rain that stopped falling before the start of the formation of worlds that happens with the further expansion. Again, the universe contracts and destroy worlds during Sanvatta Asankhya Kalpa. Gravitons or any other force would bring matter back to the center of gravity with an acceleration, causing them to become beams of high-energy particles that gain energy with the contraction that causes matter to pass through the center of the universe. The period between the start of Vivattai Asankhya Kalpa and the end of Vivatta Asankhya Kalpa is called a Mahā-Kalpa. The Buddha said that a rain of energiezed water (like water sticks, water robs, etc) fill the world (island universe) gradually, and stay stably filled for a long time until cosmic air (space element) comes into the filled world (island universe), causing to expand the universe. And then, the world (island universe) stay stably expanded until the contraction. Perhaps, the virtual particles in space (like air) come into low dense space areas (between galaxies) until those virtual particles can go there uniformly near the speed of light. It is more scientific explanation than the unscientific cosmic inflation theories and assumptions. Try to be open-minded and use your brain when you learn something.

I'm black, and I regret never having a role model when I was younger to show that physics was something available to me, to pursue academically. It's even more palpable, because of the impression that it was due to lack of aptitude. I loved Star Trek, especially Voyager and I, in time looked up to captain Janeway as that role model, in curiosity, determination and daring. But, it was too late to make the realisation, that STEM could have been a pursuit. I wish, apart from just presenting scientific discoveries, more should be done to address, the lack of representation, accessibility and visibility of black people in these fields of scientific inquiry. It is important, not for prestige, but for bringing ever diverse and new minds into our collective endeavour to understand and create a future where we are contributing to the betterment of this beautiful cosmos, of which we have the privilege to be a part of and perhaps caretakers of. We need not restrict others, by unintentionally projecting prejudices of intellectual limitations. We must make our existence a progressive and collective endeavour.

I hear you, and, as a woman, I get what you are saying. Really appreciated seeing this presentation, not least because it's still too rare to hear a woman's voice in this field. Aside from that very important point regarding role models that you raised, I'm no scientist, but found her desire & ability to SHARE her ideas made it possible for me to follow them.. This feels as important as the ideas themselves, because so many people lack that vital aspect ~ to teach in a way that starts with truly wanting to impart the knowledge & thinking to as many people as possible. The ones who come across as more egoic, wishing to impress those already in the know, their peers and 'competitors' leave the rest of us out in the cold.. Seems such a waste of knowledge, or very limiting. It's great to inspire & create a desire to learn more in other people, the more minds the merrier, and potentially the more likelihood of solving or expanding the big puzzle!

No matter how much science and research is used in any conversation about the origins or reality of what we name as “the universe”, it will always be extraordinarily elementary. In fact it will be more elementary than a newborn baby as compared to an advanced scientist. The reason this is so is that any view at all that any human being conceives or perceives is a completely subjective view/reality . Another way of saying this is that any persons view of “reality” is ALWAYS…. Congealed subjectivity. Entering directly within heart the reality of the unfolding moment arriving from the future- which is so incredibly rare for humans (currently), can NEVER be explained through conceptual awareness. all scientific views are always built on foundation of CONCEPTUAL awareness, rather than the awareness of perceiving the unfolding moment.

I think a combination of string theory and Penroses CCC theory is our best bet to answering this question. Love the idea that down at the Planck scale, space itself is strings, and when a universe 'dies', the 'vibrational mode' of the strings can radically change, creating radically different universes, but all universes past and future, are all located in the same space (i.e. where I am now in this universe wouldve been the same place in a different universe, regardless of the differences between the two universes...different universes built upon the same location/foundation, only the strings vibrations are what change). I also believe the beyond the edge of our observable universe, is just more of our universe. Very much looking forward to this video...

Her book is even better. If you already know something about the energy landscape of string theory and something about Schrodinger's wave function of quantum mechanics, Mersini-Houghton's book Before the Big Bang will really bring it all together. It provides a larger view of reality that explains not only of why our universe is what it is (it's not the anthropic principle or even randomness) but also what came before. Her theory doesn't answer every question (such as, is time itself eternal?) but it demolishes the "we are special" argument that Copernicus also demolished so long ago. Our universe is not special. It is one of many possible, but it is also a highly likely configuration. It explains why our universe exists and where it came from.

How could the probability of the universe coming into existence be calculated in any useful way when the previous *state* was an eternal/timeless void?

So I've thought about the question multi-verse? And here is my answer. As you well know, we live in bubbles of EMFS, but the main source of these generated EMF's is our Blacksphere. So my answer is kind of a question all wrapped together. Can we test field strength of the CMB? If that's possible then what we're looking for is where that field strength changes. Eventually the farther we look the field strength may change a bit stronger or a bit weaker. If we can find the position of change and it's consistent you have found a second universe. This make most sense to me. Everything in our universe will fly under the same field strength only when this strength has changed will it be another universe. I say this for good reason. With our galaxy our source of EMFs comes from the Blacksphere, but I believe you'll find that field strength the same from core to edge. The stars we see shine are like power plants when a new star is born the strength of the original source is restored, and our galaxy remains balanced. I believe this same process will happen when we scale up or down. You want to find another universe look for this change in the EMFS. Field strength is crucial for stability, there may only be 1 universe, but there may be different matter-verses out there. And you may be correct. But like Einstein and bohr, we are prisoners of our time, and our information is still lacking. But we will get there. Peace ✌️ from Canada, eh.

It’s completely insane that Laura Mersini-Houghton came by this theory as I have traveled in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology to a similar internal origin and meaning of all things. It’s like we travelled on the same Möbius strip, occluded by that strip, and soon we will meet. Mind and matter. Thank you so much for this talk, and all your struggles and work for our future. ❤️‍🔥🙏🏻 My father also played classical music to us as children and he talked about what it meant/symbolized to him. Cherished memories. I just got your book and I am reading it now. I am sure we will speak at some time in the future because of our “parallel universes”😂. 🥰👍🏻There are other ways to see the evidence for these things which I have devised methodology to demonstrate. No one will listen or pay attention so far… but when the Möbius comes around, and we do meet, they will have to pay attention because we are the future of life. ♾🧠♾ Things obvious to me take others a while to get to I have found over the years. I also know the nature of the “occcams razor” of the multiverse, and other mechanisms. All my predictions from my theories also have been borne out. Thank you again: one of my favorite talks ever. ❤ To anyone reading this far, and who dismisses what I am saying, remember that you read this here. Remember that I was here and knew these things far in advance, but because of peoples internal “walls” and assumptions about reality, they did not understand what I was saying. They never expected a real revolution in thought changing everything at its foundation. Especially right in the middle of a knowledge explosion which gave us cell phones… 😂 So I don’t blame you for your ignorance. For how I have been rejected by institutions and journals, etc. while the confirmations of the theory roll steadily in down the years. Psychology COULDN’T have ANYTHING To Do with physics, no, that CANNOT happen. And biology cannot predict physical structures and what is beyond event horizons, no. We can NEVER know that… Well, once people with authority believed we could never walk on the moon. A word of advice: never say we “can’t”. Thanks 😊 Moreover, RUN from those who say we cannot, we can’t, we will not, we won’t, RUN from them. 😊👍🏻 They know nothing about what knowledge or epistemology actually is. They are only projecting how they are onto things. Science is not an epistemological dictatorship. I hope this illustrates my joy at hearing this talk.

How can the rapid expanding universe be slowed enough so a signal traveling at light speed can can pass through one entangled black hole, through the wormhole, and come out the other entangled black hole… if the wormhole continues to expand at a faster rate than light-speed? Perhaps placing a series of “outposts” or rally points throughout a wormhole could receive the signal and rebroadcast the signal from station to station… like a relay race… that can exceed the rate of the expanding space?

"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can produce sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future".

Also,if I knew everything there is to know, including about the future and the past would not the effect drive the cause. Then you would not be able to understand would you? In some returning universe the results are driving the cause and visa versa because they are the same, somewhere but the same.

The starting point of physics is the idea of inertia, but "The knowledge of the straightness of the movement of a body left to itself does not follow from experience. On the contrary!" (Einstein). The fundamental difference between inertia forces and ordinary forces of interaction of bodies is that for inertia forces it is impossible to specify the action of which specific bodies on a material point they describe, they cannot be confused with the Dalembert force of inertia, and they are always external forces. (Newton's first law is not a special case of Newton's second law.) GR reduced gravity to inertia by generalizing the first law: the free movement of test bodies occurs along geodesic lines, but the theory did not find out anything new about the nature of the cause of inertia forces. "... the complete geometrization established by GR introduces a hierarchized cosmos on the plane, indicating indirectly the presence of an elusive source." (Tonnelat). It seems that this source of external (external) inertia forces is an "absolute vacuum" - instead of Newtonian "absolute space", which "... as a cause, does not satisfy the need for a causal explanation." (Born). Finally, the search for the root cause became possible after Friedmann spoke for the first time in a scientific way about the "creation of the world", and even then there was an opportunity to abandon the a priori nature of the law (more precisely, the axiom) of inertia, and build physics on a more reliable basis.

Who needs an after life or living forever or having children if we know we exist in endless universes where we have echoes of life from every thought creating a new universe as a reactionary string or strand. But on the other hand if I die today, does my set of universes end with my death? If so then we should be very worried about living as long as we can so our universes can find a way to grow beyond the limits we have imposed on ourselves by having not understood reality. Could we not use the mars rovers and robots as well as every probe we have ever sent out into space to look for interactions between waves/particles from various universes and doesn't that answer the question of why a particle can be in two different places simultaneously or at very closely related moments in our reality? That sounds like waves from different universes overlapping in our reality to me. And doesn't that mean that time only has a value when it is observed as well? What does that mean if time is a valueless thing that is only measurable when we want it to be? And doesn't that make our predictions inherently mistaken at every instance? Because we want time to be a thing measured so when we use it as a measure our expectation is met, etc. We answer our own question which must be answered by something else outside of our reality. So a space telescope is only in our reality when we communicate with it. SO it's observations are going to be wrong or unexpected until we correct our expectation to match what it is recording? It is in it's own reality, but it is programmed to measure for certain results because we expected certain results. Yes I know this is confirmation bias as a definition that is why I am bringing it up. So if there is only one space telescope, how can we ever hope to be correct about anything it is recording? The whole set of ideas just seems a bit compromised by our own biased reality. So no matter what system of checks and balances we set up, we are still setting those things up with an expectation that we are correct based on other successes. Nutz. All I know is my reality reveals itself daily and it often is not very much to look at. And the older I get the less it matters as I happen to live in this reality where many types of stem cell research is banned and our governments refuse to save the very real planet I walk on that they have helped destroy. The fact is if you resolve this thing we have as a construct then you have no real need to invest in it. And isn't that the problem overall for why we are not a united planet with insoluble and immutable rights for everyone? Bah. So lets see, you find another universe, you figure out how to shift between them with particle physics, entanglement or cookies and cream ice cream. So the rich and powerful invite you along with them as they leave us all here to die. The End.

I always get stuck right away on the semantics of a "multiverse". The word "universe" always used to mean the entity which contains everything in existence. How can you even have multiple universes? It seems absurd by definition. Why isn't the supposed "multiverse" just called the universe instead? Just to confuse those of us who cling to the old-fashioned concept of the word? What is the new meaning of the word "universe", such that there can be multiples of it? What is it that now distinguishes something as a "universe" under this new terminology? It seems unnecessarily confusing to just whimsically change the meaning of an important word, just to... i don't know... make our new "multiverse" theory sound more tantalizing and amazing? It sounds nonsensical on the face of it to me.

i am a 18 year old teenager......and i really understood everything, it made me thinking and make question myself at many points....i bet the day is comeing soon when we will discover something that will turn the tables of this world

A very informative and well-presented theory. Yet, recent input from the most recent exploration of deep space found galaxies, both small and large, well-formed. Yet, beyond that distance previously thought explains that the big bang theory is invalid?

I appreciate your efforts btw ❤👏

The Royal institution never fails to inspire.

Now that's a good question?

Is this closed conference something? why there are so many vacant seat there?

This is a great example of the ability of the human minds imagination to manifest science fiction. I have no issue with endless postulations for the origins/ causal agent of this reality as long as the person who proposes such things admit there is no possible way to test/ replicate their musings. It is a very interesting topic even though ones life will surely be wasted if it is spent with the sole intention of solving this unknowable question. One thing is certain about this reality. It is set up for endless discovery and each revelation reveals more questions for the next generation of sentient beings to discover. As long as scientific endeavor understands this humbling primafacia fact knowledge will surely grow and the human race will inevitably expand out into the cosmos on a never ending quest to learn.

It is not musings. Read her book. She proposes multiple falsifiable tests, one of which already shows merit.

@@TucsonD1 thats what the towering intellects of science claimed 100 plus years ago about living cells( which they felt sure was just a mixture of chemicals and claimed to show scientific evidence) yet the more science digs into these information packed self replicating factories the farther away the goal post to comprehension recedes as to how such a system could randomly self coalesce. The exact same situation can be documented with origins of matter,the laws of physics and the cosmological contstants . My assertion stands as to calling such postulations musings and there is a,100%certainty history will show this to be the case and she will be relegated into the countless unverifiable musing footnotes of scientific literature .the same as the numerous alternate postulations put forth by equally accredited scientists. The fact is such musings on this subject will forever continue ( even far beyond the day we can manipulate the laws of physics at will thusly creating any reality imaginable and achieving the status of ""prime law manipulators". This will be far into the future and still we would never be able to claim why or how the laws and matter manifested from nothing pointlessly into fine tuned functionality . Why? As every attempt to manifest( or replicate) purposful functionality from a point of zero will inevitably require massive intelligent manipulation thusly rendering the goal of proving such things mindlessly came to be the height of illogical absurdity...
