      Also, it's not "the universe". It's just **our idea** of the universe. And that's all that it can **ever** be... If those are the odds, Occam's razor dictates we are simply wrong about how the universe actually works. After all, we're trying to observe something that is 10^WTF bigger than us, pretending our observations might somehow be accurate... Maybe the flaw is in our brain, as we (as species) seem to have a blind need to have to **explain** everything. We just can't accept the existence of "unexplainability".

    The description of the spacial multiverse theory felt a little inadequate. The currently preferred version is the eternal inflation model, where cosmic inflation didn't actually stop, but bubble universes periodically "pinch off" while the rest of the bulk continues to rapidly expand, pinching off more bubble universes as it goes. These "island universes" are fundamentally separate from each other and under no obligation to have the same laws of physics and constants.
    I also doubt that universes resulting from the many worlds interpretation, would have different constants and laws of physics, since they are the result of a branching of a parent universe with the constants we experience. If an unstable nucleus is in a superposition of decay or not and then we experience the weak force triggering a decay event, then presumably another universe branched off where it didn't decay, but that universe would still have the same strength of weak force and the same mass for the proton and W boson. It stands to reason then that other constants such as the gravitational constant, fine structure constant, C etc, would also remain the same.

      “In an infinity of time and space all things that can happen will happen” assumes that each alternate universe is randomly generated. This saying is often illustrated by an “infinite number of monkeys typing on type writers for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce the works of William Shakespeare.” There was a researcher that wondered what would happen if he put monkeys into a cage with typewriters. Most of them simply hit one key over and over and over again. Others smashed multiple keys at one time. Still others defecated on the type writer! They operated in very unrandom ways. We shouldn’t assume that the universe (or multiverse) is totally random either.

    It's hard for me to put into words how much I appreciate your channel.
    I think it has become fashionable to scoff and dismiss many natural conclusions from the science we know. Other ideas and conclusions which imply we aren't important and our lives are meaningless are accepted at face value even though they are based on blind assumptions.
    People will laugh and mock someone for saying there's a chance we're the only world with life on it because there are a trillion planets in our galaxy, but we still only have a single data point. Maybe the odds of a planet getting life are 1 in a septillion.
    Everyone dismisses the possibility of a constructed universe, but there are insanely specific constants all over the place.
    In my opinion, this mode of thinking comes from a good place. A few hundred years ago many people were blinded by stories from organized religion. The pendulum swung away from that and now we have people blindly defending conclusions without evidence just because they imply we aren't important and that seems intuitively correct. What we need is more people taking your approach. Don't stop looking for scientific truth. Don't ignore scientific evidence. But don't conclude things based on assumptions and always be honest about what we actually know and what is an assumption.
    Otherwise you become the person who believes in a multiverse because it seems more scientific than a god when the reality is neither explanation is scientific right now and either or neither might be right

      @@UpperDarbyDetailing that's not actually accurate though. You're just ignoring them and dismissing the fact that so many things seem fine tuned. The fact that we wouldn't exist if things were different is not an explanation of why the fine structure constant is exactly what we needed for atoms to exist. There may be an explanation as we get further in to our understanding of things but there may not. There currently isn't one.
      I sort of get the argument that it's not worth wasting time focused on those questions because they don't seem to be answerable by science, but even then it doesn't remove the significance.
      Maybe you instinctively push back on this because ideologues always turn these ideas into cult like groups or full fledged religions. I agree with you there. People run with ideas and start making claims they can't about how to live and usually use that to control each other. All I'm saying though is about being honest with ourselves about what we see and don't make claims we can't support. So no, I'm not claiming there's an old man who built our universe in his garage. I'm saying we can't actually say anything about what finally tuned anything. All we can say is that certain aspects DO appear to be finely tuned. There seems to be no reason for some rules to be what they are other than there wouldn't be any life or consciousness if they changed

Every living thing undergoes mutations of their DNA, if that mutation helps them to survive then they get to procreate and pass that positive mutation on to the next generation. Thus becoming “fine tuned” to the existing environment.
      I’m not ignoring that there isn’t currently an explanation of why things are the way they are. Jumping to “because God” is the “God of the gaps” argument. Claiming it MUST have been designed is the watchmaker’s argument. Neither of which are valid.
      I wouldn’t at all call it a waste. It’s a part of our human existence to question and study the universe. They may not be answerable by science NOW, but a lot of things couldn’t be answered by scientific investigation before.
      The universe appearing to be “fine tuned” means nothing. It’s simply the effect of the physical processes of the universe acting as the forces upon them require them to act.

    I think the first question is "Can universes exist in any other way than ours?"
    There is likely to be an underlying mechanism that creates all the universes. Something about this mechanism may preferentially select key starting values. Everything we know of behaves this way, so it seems reasonable to expect the same here.
    It sounds like 1e56 is the entire possibility space - I have no reason to think each of those possibilities is equally likely - I have many reasons to believe some range of states disallow other ranges of states.

    i think if you go far back in the past, anything that ever happens is basically a miracle, because the chance of going from a point in the past to the exact present we inhabit is basically zero.
    but, on the other hand, from the perspective of the present, what exists is basically inevitable. it's all a matter of perspective.

    2 things:
    1) Invoking anything higher level than the universe begs the need to explain that thing; you can't escape the anthropic factor.
    2) Philosophically, what's the motivation for invoking a causal relationship between "bubble universes", even via a parent "universe" or substrate? This appears to be a limit of our imaginations.
    In other words, we simply don't need to exist within a continuum that supports any other "universes". We were inevitable (evidently), possibly without any pre-conditions. Chance of anything => inevitability of everything.

Like how the effects of gravity can be seen as an emergent property of a space-time that bends around mass. Maybe x being true implies y which implies z etc. Maybe the Creator isn't a thing within a different universe with time and causality but something more fundamental and eternal that our space time inherently emerges from. Maybe there is a bottom truth that may or may not be reachable from our perspective

    At my level of understanding and knowledge, it just seems that the multiverse idea is the most appealing. Going to the level of the origin of matter at the Big Bang - it might be that different foci of quantum particles acquiring mass through interaction with the Higgs field emerge, with each focal point being slightly different, perhaps in dark energy density.

Its also probably about time we stopped worrying about things that arent going to effect us as a species for another millennia and start focusing all science onto things that will have a positive impact on humanity as a whole in the next century.

      The thing is, there are simply things we cannot know or explain using science. Science is the study of nature, as in our universe. Any attempt to explain what is outside of our universe or what came before or any of that isn't science. So "multiverse" hypothesis or intelligent design/God or aliens or simulation hypothesis are all in the same realm of metaphysics (although that last one could potentially be proven true but not false), not actual physics. Which is why many serious scientists have scoffed at the idea of the multiverse concept being an actual scientific explanation. A good scientist would simply admit "we cannot know" and leave the speculation to philosophers and the like.
      Of course that means you'll never get any satisfying answers, but that's just how it is. There is no way to "know", so it's a matter of faith or speculation. Many like to say that inserting the idea of a creator to answer these questions about the fundamental nature of our universe is a "god of the gaps", but the multiverse concept is basically just a "sciency-sounding thing of the gaps".

    I disagree, if you think of multi verse concept in linear time line, the theory still stands, as you would have infinite attempts to roll the dice until the right critiras are met to produce galaxies and life. You would have no means of methods to prove what existed before and or after since we wouldn't exists at those time frames. So how a linear model is different than a pararrel multi verse model different? This is definitely a topic that is for the future, not with today's knowledge or tech to be able to explain.

We have no understanding of Infinity or Eternity except that Infinity is Limitless, a concept separated from physical units and Eternity is outside of Time.

    That perspective does make sense, that planeta, stars, and living beings shouldn’t really exist… it’s all down to fractions of fractions of luck.
    But also, despite life being this grand “miracle” and we should all be grateful to be experiencing it, we know it is not perfect. Animals, at least that we know of, operate on survival mode at all times. They know what it’s like to not be hunted, to be hunted, to be hungry, to be satiated, to be “horny” and other “natural” processes shared by all living things. They don’t sit and reflect “ah, today was a good day, I’m so grateful to the universe.” That’s a human, higher intelligence concept. But life is still just as much of a delicate tightrope walk for us… at any moment, we could be hit by a car, caught in a freak explosion, or a crime. Or catch a disease and die… merely to be “alive” is just as perilous as if one were born as a celestial body, a cloud, a rock, a piece of magma, a water molecule, or even an atom. We are no different than “natural” materials and objects. Living beings are made of the same elements as the universe, after all, and scientists say “we are all made of stardust”, and that’s true. What’s different is that we can reason and experience emotional responses to our situations. In some ways, that’s worse than if you were a deer, or a bird, or a wolf, or any other animal that is simply operating on the instincts of hunger, reproduction, sleep, and fight or flight. Humans are aware of what’s going on so much that we try to suppress our natural instincts. Hungry, diet. Horny, control yourself. Lol. If someone threatens you, turn the other cheek. Tired?

    One of the universe questions we probably wont know the answer, if we cant even see whats beyond the observable universe... We cant neither know where it ends, and if we dont know that less will be know whats outside of it.

    I think its probably an emergent phenomenon. The value is where it is, because that is how it evolved - because it could only evolve that way.
    How it "evolved"? Idk, and i think were a ways off from understanding.
    But were speculating on spooky origins of a spooky substance

    Things we are confident of:
    1) Our universe was born from a singularity (big bang).
    2) Our universe contains many distinct instances of singularities (black holes)
    Therefore, if singularities are not uncommon within our universe, is it not unreasonable that many other universe birthing singularities have, can, and will exist

    Does not the photon slit experiment prove the existence of the 5th dimension or multiverse? Each and every probable outcome exists simultaneously until it is observed which collapses the photon into 3rd and 4th dimension.

    the first quantum divergence: when the Creator looked at our universe's seed to see if it was worth planting? the others were not. Creator observed the others, and their values were unacceptable, they diverged, and were culled by having no value. or...something :) look around and see that it wasn't nothing.
