Me too. Life in its current form literally only exists due to our current climate and environment. If the earth changed dramatically again then some life would die off and new forms of life would evolve to adapt to that new world.

jonesgerard *Design is even more implied by a multiverse than a universe.* This would only make sense if every universe within the multiverse was complete and fully formed. Smolin's 'Daughter Universe' theory, although not testable, still uses the same framework of basic evolutionary theory and proposes that the many variables that make up a potentially stable universe are not often/rarely met, leading to catastrophic collapse of the vast, vast majority of other universes. The ones that are left over, that are stable, are merely a product of insanely large number survival theory. If, however, we found good evidence that ALL universes within the multiverse NEVER collapsed then I think this could be a solid foundation upon which to hang a possible theistic hat. I think we're a long way off from assessing any of these claims so what's the most honest position to take? I don't know? OR, I know, I believe based upon a really terrible bias and globally recognized ineptitude by people to misconstrue and misunderstand anything to do with probability and large numbers that a god(s) exists?

That was just a speculation on which he didn't spend much time, and that was the core of his talk. I agree that we're in an exceptional position, starting from the conditions of our planet, to the very laws of physics that support our existence. And it's very likely that there are other universes with different laws of physics that would evolve differently. And this miracle is worthy of extensive investigation. But taking that huge leap of faith, just so we can say that we understand our world is not scientific.

This is the typical disservice that materialistic scientism does to science. First, to establish that there are innumerable universes - perhaps infinite - with different physical constants, a fundamental point comes in: why in none of these universes is its expansion so accelerated that it would eventually collide with other universes and thus create a cascade effect so that nothing eventually balanced how our universe could exist? Secondly, how to explain what is this network that holds infinite universes, because a universe generator is something very well adjusted and with completely specific multiversal constants. Thirdly, no one answered why we are here. Even the multiverse being a truth.

If it disagreed with experiment or if there was no way to test it you would dismiss it or looked for some other explanation. Now, we have a theory that cannot be experimentally tested, and instead of looking for something that can be tested we say to ourselves, "Well, we cannot test that, but probably we can come up with another non-test-able explanation to explain the original non-test-able hypothesis."

Well the interesting part is that when he realised the equations of general relativity pointed toward an expanding universe, he introduced a new idea of a cosmological constant which would be a sort of "push back" force, which could account for the static, non expanding universe he knew he lived in. Except not long after observation showed he was wrong and the universe is indeed expanding, at which point he embarrassingly erased the cosmological constant idea. Then much later even, when it was discovered the expansion is accelerating (like Brian was talking about) the idea of a cosmological constant was brought back in. And while this constant accounts for the expansion of the universe (not the stillness of it) it's still very synonymous in many ways to Einstein's original idea. Even when the dude's wrong, he's right ay

So to summarize, the universe isn't fine-tuned for life, it's life which is fine-tuned for our universe or else it wouldn't have survived.

davis3d That's a rather simplistic and incorrect analogy. Is the universe aiming at our destruction? Well, certainly in some parts of it we would not survive a day. But in the vast universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies, with uncountable stars, there are plenty of "Goldilocks" zones which can arbor life, and one that we know of has done so 3.5 billion years ago. So to reformulate your analogy: That's like hundreds of billions of non-experimented firing squads, aiming at hundreds of billions of people with a certain among of them who's got the survival instinct of running, and a minimum percentage of guns that can misfire and/or defect bullets. That being so, during billions of years. So yeah... I suppose it's possible for some (or even one) to escape the firing squads alive and then consider his firing squad "finely tuned" for his survival. Is it really so? Was he *specially chosen* or just a selected individual in a random, yet very probable outcome, statistically speaking? Religious people would likely chose the first explanation while rational people would chose the later.

***** I am speaking in regards to the initial conditions of our universe. The odds are not in favor of a universe that is capable of supporting complex life, or any life for that matter; which is the very reason why the multiverse hypothesis was invented. I am merely restating the mystery that the man in this video talked about. The analogy fits perfectly when you consider that the universe would have expanded too rapidly or collapsed in on itself if the initial parameters were slightly different.

***** Said differently, if you tweaked the forces of elector-magnetism, gravity, and weak and strong nuclear forces by 1 divided by 10 to the 60th power the universe would have collapsed in itself and been destroyed almost immediately or would have grown to quickly and no stars would have existed. (google "fine tuning") So either a creator with knowledge of advanced physics and mathematics made our universe with just the right balance between the known forces to allow for the universe to grow and have everything in it, or our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes with 99.999999 of universes collapsing or growing to quickly when they are created (I know that violates some mathematical laws, but you get the idea). Not believing in a multiverse very nearly compels you to believe the universe was created by design.

It's amazing how finally tuned the universe is to prevent life and destroy it. No where else in the universe have we found where life is possible and yet even here on earth it's a chance we even made it this far. The odds are against our survival from within the earth itself. Not to mention cosmic events that can end us in a flash. The universe is a very scary place my friends and we shouldn't think of it as a generous provider.

Brian Green is so good at explaining science because his passion matches his intelligence. But we must be sure not to get carried away. Everything he says here is speculation. The whole rests upon string theory and the strings themselves have not been observed. There are many equally smart, equally passionate scientists who dismiss strings. Greene and the others will keep working until we know the answers. That contention and that effort IS science.

I think you should be asking How God did it and how is it automatically happening?

I like how he says the question is why our universe is conducive for "our form of life" rather than simply "life". This is because the patterns we call life can be expressed in more mediums than the chemical. Perhaps they could be based on tangled lines of magnetic force, or patterns on the surfaces of neutron stars, or in other mediums we haven't thought of yet. It's easy to think of chemical life as special, so I say Kudos to Brian Greene for correctness, both physical and political.

Think about it. Humans have been roaming the earth for a hundred thousand years, but only a few hundred years ago -- yesterday, basically, in evolutionary terms -- we still thought the sun and all the stars orbited around us. A few hundred years later and we now know of other planetary systems, countless other galaxies, other galaxy clusters even. We know the universe is bigger than we can ever see, because it expands faster than light. We can analyse the microwave background radiation and get insights about the first few instants of the universe (or our pocket of it). Taking this into account makes it very bold to assume we have reached the limit of our knowledge. We've been trying really hard to prove string theory and if we ever get there that would possibly prove the existence of other universes and solve the riddle of the particular values of our physical parameters. It would surely end up raising bigger, deeper questions, though, and that's the beauty of science, we can keep discovering things -- maybe not forever but for a long time.

Its really amazing. I love it.

I hve been following most of Mr Greene's ,David Tong &others lecture on quantum mechanics ,gravity,uncertainty principle etc & been greatly enlighten but still wondering if quantum mechanics or any branch of science can shed some light on d formation of life on earth/ or else where in entire universe

Good lord, what's with all the religious comments in this video? I'm fairly certain most atheists accept the fact that we don't know where we came from/how the universe started but we are excited that some people are trying to piece it together (if that is even possible, which i doubt it ever will be.) Also, I don't see why believing in the multi-verse or any cosmological theory conflicts with your belief in God. There is way too much "us vs. them" attitude in these comments.
