- Was the universe made for life? In other words, were physical laws and constants of nature somehow chosen to allow for complex life?
Over the last century, physicists and cosmologists made a series of disturbing discoveries: cosmic coincidences. They found that parameters of nature and physical law seen specially crafted to make life possible. What are the implications?
Are we just very lucky? Was the universe designed for us. Or, might it imply the existence of other unseen universes. In this episode we review the latest data and theories to find answers to these questions.

Hi Zach. Thank you! Yes, there are about 30 more planned. See this site for a list of upcoming topics to be covered by full episodes: alwaysasking.com/questions/
Another interesting and engaging presentation. The content is presented very well, and is substantiated and documented with references from noted experts in the field. A lot of information , but it is distilled into a smooth and enjoyable cocktail. I wish more people would take an interest in this subject mater.
Thank you Zooman!
I truly appreciate your dedication to sharing knowledge. If we do not learn about our world, what have we achieved besides survival?
Even survival will depend on our knowledge . They just happen to go hand in hand so far.
I am also delighted that you ask some questions that aren't commonly asked. This shows that you haven't undermined our intelligence. Thank you!

Hello Jason! I was wondering if I would be allowed permission to republish any of this information, so far as I give credit to you in my video and in my videos description? I just want to share some of the findings you listed! You have done humanity a terrific job regarding to opening our eyes to deeper questions of reality! This really has the potential to open the door to the souls of many. Multiverse or God, a spiritual journey awaits anyone who takes this information seriously.

Thank you for this EXCELLENTLY made video. It demonstrates cogently and indisputably the existence of Fine-Tuning of the Universe to permit the existence of life, and recognition of such by scientists (in particular by astronomers, cosmologists and astrophysicists) for many decades, which therefore disabuse those deniers that believe that FTing is just the invention of theists.

@@arvindraghavan403 👍
Superb presentation of a awesome topic; also excellent narration; in fact, to me, this topic is on the level of biblical discussion, in the sense which I am considering it.
While it is understandable for scientists to avoid the Divine, simply rejecting it as an option makes them seem not serious. To avoid an answer just because you don't want it to be the answer is childish. I have noted that it was only after the "fine tuning" became obvious that researchers began to speculate on the "multiverse" or the "many worlds" theories. When you ponder "why is there something rather than nothing" you realize that there has to be a "first cause" that has always existed. Such an entity would exist outside our temporal existence and as such would not be discoverable by us. We would just see evidence from which we can draw logical conclusions. God is a concept that offers an explanation of life, especially for early man. Descriptions given by the religious are probably not accurate but I don't think any description of "God" can be accurate. "God" would be a much greater power who created the laws of nature and set in motion the journey of our universe. I remember seeing a tee shirt at the gym that said, "Jesus is coming and boy is he pissed". I like to believe he is more forgiving.
Hi Bruce, thank you for your thorough comment! I agree that the prevailing antagonistic attitude between science and religion serves neither science nor religion. As Einstein said, science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind.
Have you seen the latest video posted to this channel which delves into the source of existence? Right now only part I is out, but part II comes out tomorrow. It does point to, as you suggest, a self-existent first cause, which is eternal, infinite, and has always existed.
@@AlwaysAsking I just finished part one and found it fascinating. This content should have 100 times more subs.
@@TheBruces56 I am so glad you liked it. Thank you Bruce, for your kind words! I hope to grow to that point. :-)
Agreed. I used to compare it to fish in a tank. Even the smartest scientist fishes might observe, measure and theorize but will never be able to know that they live in water, in a tank, in a kid's room, are taken care of by the kid, etc. The only way the fish could know the truth is if they were able to see the tank from the outside, but even then they couldn't even begin to understand what they are looking at and couldn't survive out of the tank anyway. Seems like the religious fish might be closer to the truth, worshipping the kid that sprinkles in the fish food every day haha.
Jason, BTW I'm watching this video for like the third time. Thanks again for such thought provoking work ❤🙏
@@brianswelding Thanks Brian! Have you seen all the full episodes? Always happy to hear what you like.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well paced and well thought out. Science based on evidence is definitely the way forward. All aspects of the scientific paradigm should be question this way without bias. If any one has believes on anything they should be open that their’s are believes. Too many people on both sides try to make it out as though other side doesn’t understand! There are many people who believe in the materialistic world view, as there are people who believe in the theistic world view. Each one has its place and value. Buddhist’s, Hindu’s and Christian’s (to name a few) thought system have some truth in them. just like scientific theories will be debunked in future generations because that’s how science advances. Which means, I think, that most if not all of scientific theories held so precious today will be seen to be a little to entirely wrong. In saying that, so many preciously help theist believes will be undone by evidence based scientific scrutiny. So we should all stay humble and open to other avenues of thinking.
Keep up the amazing work, great doco 😊
Very well said Blas. I very much agree with all of that. There have been a few scientists and a few religious thinkers who have said similar things in the past. Here are some examples, I hope you enjoy:
“If religion were contrary to logical reason then it would cease to be a religion and be merely a tradition. Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of materialism." -- 'Abdu'l-Bahá
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” -- Albert Einstein
"Science and religion are both still close to their beginnings, with no ends in sight. Science and religion are both destined to grow and change in the millennia that lie ahead of us, perhaps solving some old mysteries, certainly discovering new mysteries of which we yet have no inkling." -- Freeman Dyson
@AlwaysAsking
Fantastic video probably the best I’ve seen on Fine Tuning Thankyou 👌👍
However, giving the ‘explanation’ of a multiverse doesn’t solve the existence of our universe, it’s own evident fine tuning ,nor the existence of the so called multiverse itself.
Just to explain:
Such a multiverse must be finite in space ,time and matter demonstrated by the ‘recent’ addition of our universe to it as infinity minus at least 1 is by definition finite rather than infinite.
So to believe that our universe which is finite in time, size and density is part of an infinite multiverse is self contradictory.
Therefore a finite multiverse straight away reduces the odds of our universe being so finely tuned by an increased probability argument.
To add to that , one of the finely tuned aspects of our universe ,is it’s initial low entropy, which the odds of that low entropy state occurring by chance alone Roger Penrose calculated as being 1 in 10^10^123 , which he openly admits is a number so great that it can’t be accounted for by a ‘multiverse’.
Also if our recently Created universe (13.7 billion years ago) was added to the hypothetical multiverse (as well as other universes being added to it )that would mean that such a finite multiverse is expanding.
The BGV theorem which ,using space time geometry proofs shows that any ‘universe’ which has an expansion rate of greater than zero must be finite into the past and have an absolute beginning ,equally applies to the multiverse also showing that it would of necessity need to have had an absolute beginning in the finite past.
Such a multiverse itself then would be contingent upon something outside of itself to cause it.
That Ultimate Cause must be eternal, be outside of physical reality (ie immaterial outside of space,time and matter ) but would also need to possess intentionality ,ie be intelligent and have free will in order to be self prompted to bring about something that at one time didn’t exist ie such a multiverse/universe into being.
That sounds suspiciously like God to me......🤔

Hi Warren! Than you, I am glad you liked it! And I agree 100% that this video does not offer an answer for where existence comes from. This is actually the topic of our next episode, which should be out this month. It reaches a conclusion like what you suggest: an ultimate cause that is eternal, uncreated, and outside of physical reality (immaterial).
@@AlwaysAsking Thankyou I look forward with interest to see that future video 👍🙂

Amazing channel, youtube algorithms doing god's work 😀 you deserve many more subs
Thank you Abdelkader! I'm glad the algorithms connected us. 😁
I read a paper from a fellow at MIT years ago that solar flares give false results on carbon dating. I cannot find the paper for the life of me. I do recall not giving much credit to carbon dating ever since 🤔
Ex was chemistry at MIT and Stanford. Now won’t share papers 🤬. Sigh
Obviously I did not go to MIT. Or Stanford. Just love 💕 brains
It may not be the one you're thinking of, but I found this article which speculates that solar activity might be the cause of a previous spike in carbon-14 in the year 774: www.space.com/18667-ancient-solar-flare-tree-carbon.html
My understanding is, however, that such spikes would only impact the accuracy for dating things alive during an abnormal spike, and such events should be relatively rare.
@@AlwaysAsking I recall this. And will read it again. Now you make my mind go to an electrical discharge from a high electrical transmission line near Lake Wabamun Alberta. Very near me BTW. And it fossilized a massive tree instantly. I reckon that carbon dating is absolutely false. I looked up that paper too and could only find it on thunderbolts.info It used to be news in my province
One universe is fine tuned. Others are allowed to riff around the major saved games of that tuning, or try to sustain a new tune to surpass that prime universe. That's how free thought and free will work at a macro level in creative evolution. Degrees of freedom must be earned and defended against all challengers.
If by single random chance seems too improbable; despite us not really known the true probability of all possible constants that could yield life forms.
If providence by a creator, the same inspired concept that broaches us to incite a creator is also improbable. Simply looks at it from upside down: simulation hypothesis means there are many simulations, but the creator of such simulations are extremely few and less likely.
If by some natural range of many universes that provide not just one universe, but many of all possible constants; we would find ourselves in a universe that allows for life. But we would never be able to communicate and numerate such universes that we could or couldn't exist in as they would have completely different constants.
Really, any of the three are possible. Thus tell us nothing.
Similar to the Fermi Paradox of not seeing examples of large mega structures or other obvious signs of life in the universe by arrangement of terms if known would yield the number of intelligent civilizations in the universe.
We simply don't know any of those terms nor if other terms we're not considering or should we omit some or all of the terms.
It serves to only befuddle us. A divide by 0 error. In math: an undefined.
Thus such exercises only serve to confirm don't have enough information to yet know enough to quantify that what we're seeking. The variables we do know are insufficient to have a equation like relationship.
In short, we don't know enough yet.
Good points. Personally, I would stop short of concluding that fine-tuning tells us nothing. To me, I think it suggests that it is likely that reality is far bigger and more diverse than the part of it we can see.
You are the best explainer in the world
What a kind compliment! Thank you!
Hi short video, I hope you can join me for tonight's premiere of the remastered first episode:
ua-cam.com/video/j07eKObTQE0/v-deo.html
It will start in a few hours.
How many universes can be possible ?
My second question is how long will our universe exist
Please make video on quantum field theory
I love your videos very much
Please make video on non carbon bassed life
That's a great question. According to fine-tuning arguments, there should be at least 10^120 (1 followed by 120 zeros) realized universes. According to String theory, there are at least 10^500 (1 followed by 500 zeros) possible string theory universes. According to Eternal Inflation, the number of universes (big bang events) increases by a factor of 10^78 every 10^-32 (minuscule fraction) of a second. According to Many-Worlds, new histories diverge from the history of this universe with every possible particle interaction and state change. According to mathematical realism, there are an infinite number of possible universes, and all would be equivalently real. I'll have a video on possible/parallel universes. For how long will the universe exist, look forward to our video "How will the world/universe end?" On non-carbon based life, we have a few videos which will detail the future evolution of life into non-carbon based forms, in "What are the limits of population growth?" and "How good can technology get?" I'm glad you enjoy the videos so far! Thanks for your great questions and suggestions! :-)
@@AlwaysAsking thanks a lot
It must be always stated to remind, the protons or the electrons can't realsitically exist without the support of the other, or the internal bond of a atom that makes the atom. This shows true no matter how many neutrons try to separate them. And the atom is what regulates energies on their external levels either with absorption, emissions, and reflections.
There was once a pothole in a road. After a rain, the pothole filled with water. The pothole was perfectly tuned to the shape of the water, and the water marveled at the unlikelihood that such a perfect pothole that perfectly matched the contours of the water puddle would have been created randomly. “Surely this pothole was fine-tuned for us!” said the water puddle. 🤦♂️
Mr. Anthropic Principle once boldly confronted Mrs. Inverse Gambler’s Fallacy. They dated briefly before going their separate ways.
Your videos are very well researched and very educational. Thank you. Im very educated in many fields of physics like quantum mechanics, special and general relatively which have only been around 100 years or so. Its so mind blowing how much mankind has discovered in so little time. I feel so lucky to live in this era of human enlightenment. Sooner than later I hope mankind will understand science is only way to explain what reality and the universe is about. Religious beliefs are too slow being phased out. With all the knowledge we have and are still compiling we by no means know everything there is to know but people that still believe in fairy tales these days blows my mind. Religious beliefs poison the human mind as to keep itself self perpetuating and all you have to do is blindly follow what it wants you to do and not question. Anyway thank you again for the great videos👍 keep them coming.
Thank you Thomas! These are definitely among the most interesting times in history to be alive. New discoveries are being published with such rapidity it is almost impossible to keep up.
@Thomas Legendy
Please don’t be so quick to dismiss all Reigion and Religious beliefs as necessary to phase out ‘fairy tales’.
Many acknowledge that with increasing scientific knowledge basis for belief in God becomes more established.
Just as Robert Jastrow wrote in ‘God and The Astronomers’:
“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
For example, despite being written 3,500 years ago, the opening book of the bible, Genesis Chapter 1, is scientifically accurate with regard to the early earth and the appearance of life on it.
For example, it speaks of a cosmic beginning in Chapter 1:1 (a fact confirmed by modern scientific discovery). It also describes an early earth covered in water(in verses 1:2 and 1:9) also confirmed by recent scientific discovery. metro.co.uk/2008/12/31/early-earth-was-covered-in-water-274995/
www.theguardian.com/science/2020/mar/02/earth-may-have-been-a-water-world-3bn-years-ago-scientists-find
As regards the order in which Genesis describes life as arriving on earth, it is just as scientists have discovered in the fossil record
wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101985013
3,500 years ago in the book of Job
(Ch 26:7) the Bible described the earth as hanging upon nothing, and 2,700 years ago (350 yrs before Aristotle) Isaiah 40:22 accurately described the earth as a circle (debunking the myth that the bible said the earth is flat).
During those ancient times in general people thought that the seas didn’t overflow due to rivers or rainfall as the water was flowing over the edge of the ‘flat earth’.
In contrast to that idea in the book of Ecclesiastes 3,000 years ago simply described the water cycle:
“All the streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the streams flow, there they return so as to flow again”
It’s remarkable that in an era of real scientific ignorance the Bible in these verses made statements that were scientifically accurate going against commonly held views of the time.
We are only scratching the surface here, as many details in the bible prove it to be reliable in every area, and I continue to see details that blow me away and add confirmation that it is a Book from God.
(For example time and again when it’s historical details have been questioned and criticised, it was later exonerated by new findings).
So although Religion has misrepresented God and the Bible, in many cases by atrocious acts and beliefs, that does not mean that He does not exist, neither that the Bible is not true.

I understand belief in religion is programmed in people from their parents and imprints a bias that lasts a lifetime usually but im not here for a secular vs religion debate. Anyway read On The Historicity of Jesus by Richard Carrier among other books by him and if you are open-minded you will realize all religion is just about control and money.
@@warrenrae32 With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil-that takes religion. Steven Weinberg. No one ever made war believing God was on the other guy's side.
Can you explain why animals such as koalas, kangaroos, and sloths are not mentioned in the Bible. Surely if this is the word of God he would have mentioned them and not just those which occupied a rather small area of the middle east. Your confirmation bias is as obvious as your deliberate exclusion of other salient facts. “All the streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the streams flow, there they return so as to flow again” a super-being, you might have thought, would have mentioned rain. Can you also give me a glimpse into the twisted mind of a creator God who came up with the life cycle of the Ophiocordycep fungus and the ‘zombifiying’ threat it poses to its ant host?
Guys please, it's not about religion over science or vice versa. There's a balance to everything. We should not dismiss anything entirely
"Lord, We are having trouble with pi. We think it should be more than 3 but less than 4"
"But Gabriel, I am the creator of this universe and I want pi to be a nice round number".
"We tried 3 and 4 Lord, but with each of those values, the hydrogen atom is unstable".
"Gabriel, think very carefully before you answer. Is anything impossible for me ?"
Did you write that or is it from something? I like it.

@@AlwaysAsking Thank you for being such a gracious host. It is very refreshing and am hopeful with your open minded 🧠🤔
@@missfriscowin3606 Thank you for that! I think being open minded is key if we're to have any chance at finding answers to the big questions. If the answers were the ones we expected, we'd already have them and they wouldn't be considered big questions. Instead we see every time science makes a significant advance, it's been through an incredible surprise that few, or none, saw coming.
@@AlwaysAsking Indeed! However, I enjoy life with mystery too. Isn’t the brain best to wonder? 🤔 ❤️
@@missfriscowin3606 That's true, but I don't think we'll run out of questions to ask or things to wonder about. At least I certainly hope we don't! ;-)
The answer is that the universe is not fined-tuned for anything in the sense that it was purposely tuned for the existence of what does exist. What exists is fined-tuned to be able to exist in this universe, and that may be the result of an intention. Since the universe came before life, it is life that had to be fined-tuned in order to exist in a place where all the parameters already existed and are unchangeable. An example would be that the moon exists, and in order to live there naturally, a human would now have to be fined-tuned to the moons environment, and not vice versa. It's like you going to a hotel, and that hotel has rules. You have to go by the hotels rules but the hotel doesn't have to go by your rules in order for you to stay there. Cause and effect, not effect followed by cause
If there's no intention or design, the apparent rarity of life friendly laws to me suggests a reality filled with every kind of universe ruled by every kind of laws.
@@AlwaysAsking you're on the right track. But at the same time we just don't know ! I think there is an appearance that things were fine-tuned when you say that if a huge number had been off by let's say 1 or 2 that life couldn't have existed, is easy to believe that it was fined-tuned. But at the same time it just seems to me that this match most likely had to happen somewhere in sometime, no matter how unlikely it might seem possible just by the fact that eternity has all the time to make it happen once or even an infinity of times regardless of the time that separates the reoccurrence of it. The thing about it, is that it's most likely impossible to prove it one way or another. I'm wondering what is really meant by fined-tuned. The universe itself is not fined-tuned for life to exist anywhere in it. If that's the case that does mean that life was the one that was fined-tuned and not the universe, or the earth or any other place for that matter. But life was fined-tuned to exist on Earth, as far as we know right now and could possibly remain the only place. I'm speaking about life on Earth. It also possible for other extraterrestrial life to be fined-tuned to live wherever they were fine-tune to live
@@AlwaysAsking also by saying or thinking that the universe was fined-tuned for life, is saying that the 2 were created with one purpose, and that is for the universe to allow life to exist. I don't believe that for 1 second. It's almost like saying the universe was created with the purpose to allow life to exist. I think the universe exists, and therefore life can exist, but that it wasn't some sort of contract agreed to that allowed the universe to exist. The universe could probably exist without life, but without life know one would know it exists. I think it's more that the universe wants to experience life itself, therefore came up with a scheme that allowed it to do that. Consciousness is universal, and doesn't belong to any one individual. It is shared with every living thing, but is only one. Just like a pie divided it up in several sections coming from the one 🥧
@@richardnelson4112 Life (self-arising complexity) is rare in many senses. It's rare on earth (only a thin part of the surface contains life), it's rare in space (only a rare few planets have the right stability and temperature), and it's rare among possible universes (only the right set of laws and constants will do). This video is about the last, the laws and constants of the universe. That the laws are fine tuned doesn't mean life should be possible anywhere in the universe, just possible somewhere in the universe. And we find the slightest changes to the laws would doom any hope of any kind of life anywhere in the universe.
@@richardnelson4112 I agree with that. Nice analogy with the pie! I will have a video on the topic of the oneness of consciousness soon. You also seem to have rediscovered the anthropic principle, the truth that only universes with life can be perceived by their inhabitants. 🙂
If the universe was tuned FOR life would we not have by now found another planet with life or strong suggestion of life by now?
I think instead that life is the rarest of jewels and we have a skewed perspective because we are lucky enough to be in the midst of it.
Hi Caleigh,
That is a good question. I do agree that life is a rare jewel. The anthropic principal, is unfortunately, silent on how common life should be in any inhabited universe, it says only that life must be possible to exist in any inhabited universe (which does not tell us how near or far our nearest neighbors ought to be).
There are anthropic reasons why the universe is as large as it is, and why stars are as far apart as they are: the observable universe is billions of light years across because it took billions of years for life to arise. The stars are as far apart as they are because if they were much closer, star systems would be too unstable to give rise to life.
As to why we haven't yet found another planet with life, this is explored in more depth in this video which asks "Are we Alone?":

I got the fastest thumb in the west
Michael, thank you!!
Hi Michael, I hope you can make it for the premiere of the re-mastered episode tonight: ua-cam.com/video/j07eKObTQE0/v-deo.html I'm just reaching out to some of the most dedicated fans.
Or, intelligent life is a "one off" a "fluke" and the universe continues evolving for purposes we can't even comprehend.
You should list the songs used in the video too. They are great and I'd like to know what they are.
Hi TBallard, good suggestion! I will do that. For reference they are:
- Bensound "Birth of a Hero"
- Bensound "New Dawn"
- Bensound "November"
- Bensound "Of Elias Dream"
- Beethoven's 7th symphony
- Kevin MacLeod's Canon in D
- Kimiko Ishizaka's J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, Aria
Thanks! By the way great videos. I really enjoy watching videos on these deep subjects and these are well written.
@@SpittinSquirell Thanks so much! I'm trying to get the next one done by the end of the month. I hope you like it!
Hi TBallard, I hope you can join us for tonight's premiere of the remastered first episode:
ua-cam.com/video/j07eKObTQE0/v-deo.html
It will begin in a few hours.
Sarcastically speaking, Whoopee more unnecessary noises for unboring the subject content. Really I failed to keep the title's main question in mind for 35 minutes. Religulously speaking without available contradiction, You are filibustering on a trick question, dude.
Universe PROMOTES developing planet health AND Intelligent Life . I could comprehend your scrip circumspectly if not for PESKY AUDIO JUNKMAIL . Thanks for speaking rhythm FAMILIARITY and crisp pronunciation. Your presentation value contrasts the undesirable distractions more than average. I petition your admiralty to expel the evil consultants and their ill advised systemic NOISE.
"The Multiverse is religion, not science."
- Sabine Hossenfelder.
In ancient times, people might have said questioning what the stars are made of is religion, not science. What we can probe and prove evolves over time.
Today, we can't even explain the operation of quantum computers (things we have engineered and use) without appealing to the existence of unseen alternate realities.
As long as we take our theories and their consequences seriously, I would argue that the multiverse is scientific.
I’m trying to examine the first of acts civilization and I remember being eight year old or nine year old, carrying water from the great river Volga to my grandparents house, and the water had substantial value because it was carried 100 feet away today in civilized world wouldn’t think much about opening a sink and running water
I recall an account about a young boy from an uncontacted tribe with a broken arm, who was taken to a clinic for treatment. What frightened him the most was the tap: when turned and an unending supply of water would emerge out of it, seemingly from no where.
The answer is obviously no, life fine-tunes itself to its habitat, including the universe. Was the Savannah made for lions? No. Was the Antarctic made for penguins? No. Was the desert made for scorpions? No. This video (and its comments) reveal three characteristic of humans: One, that they are still mentally weak. Two, that they have a tendency to get things backwards, and Three, being otherwise clueless*, they at best waste time their clueless time having fun with nonsense (and at worst, cluelessly believing in it) (in this case a Voodoo Universe) (which brings up a fourth characteristic: humans are pathetic).
*as defined by the Philosophy of Broader Survival. Read it or go extinct.
Fine tuning comes at age 49 after your 7th 7th year. If it aligned with the religious Old Testament 7 year cycles. Rules exist but they exist to break other rules.
But for anyone that believes that God fined-tuned the universe for humans or life to exist, nothing changes by what I've said previously. Only the order has changed. But then who really knows ?? But in essence, there is really only one universal requirement, and that is that one has to be fined-tuned to the other so that they can be compatible to allow the existence of life
In the universe we have six flavour but proton use only 2 (up and down). They a re made up of two flavours of quarks two up Quarks and one down Quarks while neutron is made up of two down Quarks and one up.
There are also 6 flavour of leptons one such leptons are the electrons
In our alternate universe imagine we have only 3 flavour of Quarks and leptons.
In this universe, the elementary particles doesn't exist alone. For instance electrons cannot exist on it own as an elementary particles but found as a group with another elementary particles say with proton called "prolectron" "neulectron" "pronuetron".
These two inseparable entanglement are the fundamental particles of this universe. The material in this universe will look strange just as the Chinese characters are to the English alphabet
So many possible workd
I think present human imagination can't even begin to scratch the surface of the possibilities.
The heavens (and all creation) declare the glory of God Almighty. The choice before every human is to deny the evidence or not, and to live accordingly
A thin line separates a universe full of amazing coincidences of number, and another universe full of other amazing coincident numbers ....
I think time is just a humans illusion 😑it’s like saying if a tree falls and their is no one to hear it does it make a sound ?😐
Hi Jett, I agree. I would say that the apparent passage of time time seems to be a subjective, rather than an objective phenomenon. There is an episode on time you might enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/QC52vRmtQoU/v-deo.html
@@AlwaysAsking thanks 🙂
Throw enough darts at the dartboard and you'll hit the bull eventually.
Has to be an all-powerful God!! The Bible makes so much sence now!
It Takes 26 Fundamental Constants and still counting to give Us Our Universe. Any slight mistake on these values means the universe cannot be built. I imagine an architect cum engineer giving a Mason 26 values to build the universe. These values are so strigent that any slight mistake by the Mason the structure cannot stand. There is no tolerance for error.
GOD is a intelligent realm not a being as we often potray.
He doesn't live in heaven he is heaven.
@@goodman4093 I appreciate this,but it's not a biblical view,if you're interested or care
@@coreydallmeyer67 then you haven't read your Bible properly. Isaiah refer to God as ancient of days. Then he distinguish it from one looking like a son man who appeared before the ancient of days. Isiah didn't refer to God as looking like man.
In transfiguration of christ, He appear as a cloud as well as isrealites journey to promised land. God exists in more than 26 dimensions in space and time and that is why the bible say no man can see God and live. You can't comprehend him.
@@coreydallmeyer67 you sound much like the legastic ' pharisee'. It is the scripture or nothing. Someone here accused the youtuber for precious waste of time and stated he should only believe and forget science. Scripture and Christianity is only one aspect of God.

This video support or reject fine-tuning ?
Hi Jason,
The video breaks the question down into three mutually exclusive possibilities:
1. There is one universe with one set of laws that just by chance is setup to allow the emergence of complex structures (and life)
2. There is one universe with one set of laws that was designed/selected/chosen to allow the emergence of complex structures (and life)
3. There are multiple universes with different laws
It then makes an argument using Bayesian probability that effectively rules out #1. This leaves #2 and #3 as the remaining possibilities. Then the video shows if we reject #2 and assume #3, that #3 gets us back to accepting something like #2. #3 implies a reality so vast and so varied, that there will be intelligent civilizations, aliens, god-like beings, existing in universes of greater complexity and computational power than our own, with laws allowing them to create or simulate other universes. So if #3 is true, there will also be some universes that are designed/selected/chosen, and we cannot determine if our universe is one of the "primitively real" ones, or one of the created ones, but either way we are lead to a sort of multiverse/infinite reality type of view. Even now, from the vantage point of our own universe, we simulate much simpler universes with self-arising complexity (like the Game of Life type of universes). If an intelligent creature arises in one of our future universe simulations, how would it (or could it?) decide between #2 and #3?
@@AlwaysAsking 2 that's something even dawkins called good argument and couldn't reject... and I'm also a believer I support Einstein's thought like chance is not part of order in nature. He defined like God does not play dice. So, I support the 2nd one. Thanks😊...
@@jasonmarcus8814 Ahh I didn't know that about Dawkins and fine tuning. I agree Einstein was vindicated in the end given later discoveries in quantum mechanics (Hugh Everett's many worlds restores the deterministic, local universe Einstein believed in. It is a shame he didn't live to see it, he died a few years before Everett's paper was published.)
@@jasonmarcus8814 Hi Jason, do you happen to recall where Dawkins said this? I think it could make a good citation for an upcoming video on "Does God Exist?"
@@AlwaysAsking In videos under the names of - "fine-tuning is a good argument for God" - that's a new video and the video under the name 'Dawkins on God & intellegent design". He recognized God in this videos. They wanted him to convert to christianity but he said that he could be a deist but couldn't convert to any religion in the video of fine-tuning. And I got more ideas to help with this. I'll comment later. Thanks...
I couldn't help but noticed the voice. It's the same voice used for the series of comical sexual shorts called Bebahan that keep popping up. How ironic.
😂
@@AlwaysAsking So it must be a computerized voice if also used on Bebahan.
I thank God for a dynamic universe.
A static one would certainly be a lot less interesting!

this is a very interesting doctumaentry :)I cant say that that this is just one universe nor can say this is a multiverse :/ but their is something I have learned about life and death before we were ever born we were nothing :/ we were most likely dead in fact when we die eventually our brains will discinerate into nothing its interesting what you said a universe devoid of (life ) but what is life ? like planets and stuff? :/ in fact I have learned that to be truly dead is for something to not happen in the first place :/ death is all about energy and being tired molecules dont really have a choice they are created by nature to do a very certion tast :/thoses who have a brain have a choice :/ when we die we might consider we will stay dead forever :( that may be :( however....if we were dead forever you might as well say this planet should not have ever be possible :/ and yet here we are somehow....in fact when we die eventually we will end up in the same place before we were ever born thats why when we are dead it will be in a darkness word we won't have any memory if this world if the universe is infinite that would mean their is possibility that earth or this planet can form again leading to a possible multiverse maybe...if the universe is finite then this will be the only universe their is and ever will be it had a beginning and it will have an end however we may have logicl theorys how the universe will end after all death is easy to understand your dead your dead :/ however when it comes to the beginning ? of just one universe? thats when things get tricky :/ after all no one was at the beginning of the one universe or how it happened and considering the sun and earth has only 4 billion years or so left humans will be long gone :/ you dont need to fear death we all have experienced death even before we were ever born :/ its just that the universe is so old its hard to wrap our minds I also have found that the universe is not just random but also has some determinism to it so maybe its done this before? :/ I dont know but I do know its only a matter of time science makes a new break through and who knows maybe its all ready happing and we cant see it or understand it :/
Thank you Jett, I am glad you enjoyed it.
As to the existence of other universes, there are some episodes on that question:
1. How big is the Universe? ua-cam.com/video/yvWBw42qj40/v-deo.html
and
2. Why does anything exist? ua-cam.com/video/6hGH-roVl3w/v-deo.html
You will like the next episode as it ha to do with what we were (or weren't) before we were born.
The question of an afterlife is very complex, and science is far from clear about the possibilities. See the episode: "Is there an afterlife?" ua-cam.com/video/nnXIylaGDQg/v-deo.html
@@AlwaysAsking this is interesting and something I would like to see 🙂also about the so called life after death I think it’s clear that their is no life after death 😐beacuse it all has to do with the brain it’s self before you were born you still saw the world from first person view but you were not aware 😐 but yet you still see the world from first person view as you were a fetus and your brain first developeds you dream now you have Ben dead for so long that as you are a baby you forget how to speak and so on now your alive and when you die in this world your roles will be reversed as you you die you will
Dream again and then you will become nothing again 😐time will stop you you see as if the universe fades to black forever but really it’s just beacuse you as the observer that’s why when scientists try to say if the universe is finite or not they have no idea 😐
@@jettmthebluedragon While I agree some brain is needed to have a mind, the video points out that in an infinite reality, such as implied by eternal inflation, the conditions necessary for you to be born again in the future will always exist. (This is just one example, of many presented in the video the suggest scientific theories that lead to one surviving the death of their body).
@@AlwaysAsking the future is not coming it is all ready planed out 😑as for the universe as a whole we don’t know if the universe as a whole as is infinite or not 😐so you can’t say the universe will die forever without knowing if it’s even infinite or not if the universe is infinite that means that the chances of this planet ever happing again will definitely happen again but based on its past however long we will be dead is how long we had to wait for this planet to be created in the first place 😑even when your molecules are completely destroyed you will still see the world from first person view 😐the only difference is just like before you were ever born you had no consciousness when ever the universe is infinite or not does not matter 😑if the universe is infinite it has no beginning or end and if it’s finite you still need to explain on what was the cause and effect that created everything to begin with if their is anything you should be more scared of it’s life 😐not knowing you had a life before but knowing you were dead before says it all you say you will forever be free but you were free before this planet ever formed to begin with 😐you might be free in this world 😑but that does not mean a planet like this can’t form again 😑
@@jettmthebluedragon Well made points. 👍
In a eternal Universe, everything with a probability more than zero will happen.
Very true!
Perchance imposing audience tantalization is not required here. Throughout history two small bottle-neck passages were provided briefly and thousands of years apart. Actually 3 times, the first societal upgrade at China was not guaranteed prediction but was announced as a brief allowance to roll the dice. Great Wall of Frustration has not been invible to me, the only difference is its recent shrinking to petty size.
Was it coincidence when I first told it to shove the job? When I threatened a few times again longtime afterward, it seemed to align for enhancing preparation. Did I totally win it over later to say I could win a contest to care less than it? From among such experiments (and more different ones on its initiative too) which I just now remember as extremely spread outside trends, she has to have be : I am empirically suspicious The Force is definitely FEMININE!!!! This information has been missing longtime, here goes that 1000th experimental idea for that cussibly mysterious lightbulb!!!! So this must be some of that scientifically optimistic optimization. AKA inspiration. OK at least foreign chemicals are not evolved. Haha haha how many times I said that? Ultra-deluxe Holographic control panel with Holographic educational safeties, if the prototype and/or the prototyper are both ready, why not shoot the wad? I think finding out what fun is about to happen after 60+ years. Hmmmm
You are here throwing words carelessly. Scientists have simulated our universe millions of times the outcome of getting our universe is almost impossible.
Was the universe made for life is like asking if the sock under my bed was made for life.... either way it’s got it
😂
Bahahaha
@@AlwaysAsking fantastic job as always
@@theDC4L Thank you! Feedback like yours inspires me to keep doing better!
It's been 6 months. Have you got an answer yet?
The universe, was made for fun and games. (But you must follow the rules.)
The choice is up to us now. :-)
I know maths can make anything possible. However. Our eyes have value too.And I see reality. Not made up maths to provide made up particles et al
That's a good point. Observation plays a crucial role in testing theories. Anyone can come up with any idea, but if it predicts something different from our experience, we must throw it out. It is the fact that we observe a universe where life is possible that ultimately motivates the idea that there may be more to reality than what our eyes can see.
As a wise man once said, "Reality is merely a very persistent illusion".
Everything in our lives is kind of an accident: we are one of thousands of sperm fighting for the prize. Our parents probably met by sheer accident - not by arrangement....as did their parents. Many of us were conceived by accident. And, *infinity* - I strongly believe there is no beginning or end and think this probably means that we'll never find the edge of the universe and maybe not even the smallest parts of matter. We thought the atom was the smallest- and then the electron- yet we keep finding smaller bits. Why do we want things controlled? Is it a feeling of safety we seek? Control isn't always a good thing.
Well put. I think you might enjoy our episode on the question: "Why does anything exist?"

Hi good man, that is one of the three possibilities explored. In a way, either "it was designed" or "all worlds exist", both point to the existence of something much bigger than the physical universe and the existence intelligences vaster than anything in our physical universe.
@@AlwaysAsking it looks much like design to me. The fundamental values are easily obtainable from a top down approach( a foreknowledge of life to be created before the universe started). The multi world is total nonsensen and a way to escape reality. The number of possible worlds are infinite !
The question science should be asking is who is this intelligence? How can they decode it? They are busy their time dwelling on escapism. One day scientists would have no option that to answer the question

The Universe is 99.99999999999999999999.... made for death

Hi Gregory, the next video might just answer that question. I hope that you can join us for the premiere for the next episode, which comes out tonight: ua-cam.com/video/6hGH-roVl3w/v-deo.html :-)
The universe was not made, it just happened. "Made" implies a brain was involved.
Good point. What word would you suggest to use in place of "made"?
It Takes 26 Fundamental Constants and still counting to give Us Our Universe. Any slight mistake on these values means the universe cannot be built. I imagine an architect cum engineer giving a Mason 26 values to build the universe. These values are so strigent that any slight mistake by the Mason the structure cannot stand. There is no tolerance for error.
If you suggest it just happened by chance, then the 26 values must all be correct at same time from a large set of value. The chance of these happening in probability tends towards impossibility
Its called GODs creation keep beating round the bush just believe
