"Inflation happened just milliseconds after the big bang." Whoa there pardner. By the time a millisecond had passed, Cosmic Inflation was already ancient history. Inflation happened in the first ~10^-30 s. That's 27 orders of magnitude away from a millisecond.
@@ItsPoly2468 He's saying the period of cosmic inflation happened so quickly (in our universe) that it was over long before the first millisecond occurred. To be more precise about it, a millisecond is one thousandth of a second, or 1/1000 s. That's 1 x 10^-3 s in scientific notation. Cosmic inflation happened 1 x 10^-30 s after the birth of the universe (more or less). So you could fit 10^27 separate periods of inflation into that first millisecond.

The fine tuning for humans is easy to explain: humans are fine tuned for the universe, not the other way around. That is to say, the universe contains some stuff: X, Y, Z, A, B, C. It stands to reason, therefore, that given the universe's set of parameters including the stuff in it, it stands to reason that humans would be made of that stuff and function in that set of parameters. It would be weird if we came about and needed to use technology to survive from the get-go.
There are plenty of possible "settings" for a universe's laws of physics that would be unable to produce life. Like universes where the weak or strong force are too different from our own, meaning atoms and thus matter can't form. But there are also "settings" where life could be possible. Ours having such "settings". So who knows, maybe we are indeed a puddle thinking the hole in the ground was made just for us.
Yeah we definitely exist due to the parameters sent forth given. We would not have evolved like this if our universe was different. The universe doesn't fit us. We fit it. I believe this is true for all life anywhere. People love to say this about earth. Act like earth is perfect for us when in reality we changed for the earth. Well we truly don't know. I just think sometimes humans are self centered. Life can be totally different, but rare for all we know. Or intelligence might not exist outside us. Who knows. We won't know till we create life ourselves from scratch or run across it.

All of the commentators and Simon need to read Sean Carroll’s “Something Deeply Hidden” which addresses many of the issues that Simon raises. It is a very accessible read for the intelligent layman (there’s no math!). The most basic issue in quantum mechanics is the “collapse of the wave function” and the many worlds interpretation provides the simplest solution. That we live in a quantum universe is indisputable - the many worlds interpretation takes that to its logical conclusion.
3:00 - Just change some constants in physics by 0.1 and everything breaks. Same with spacetime other than 4 dimensions. There are hypotheses, that even our universe isn't that homogenous, be it in time or space. Move really far enough and heavier atoms become unstable... lifeless galaxies with nothing heavier than Carbon or galaxies where everything turns into black holes.
Im one of those that firmly supports the idea that several different types of multiverse might exist. and sure its not measurable or provable, yet, and may never be, but the discussions and logical discourse that arise from the pursuit of the theories are valuable in themselvves as they at least are a fun way to excercise critical and logical thinking and to asess flaws in your own logic by way of peer review of said discussions. so is there scientific value in discussing the indirect evidence for the multiverse? only the indirect consequence of providing excercise and entertainment to a brain where tthose things aid in efficiency and speed, thereby fueling faster actual science. But that is very valuable in my opinion.
It is too strong to say that the multiverse theories can never be tested. They do not appear to be testable given our current understanding of physics, but we cannot know that there may be aspects of physics that we might discover in the future which will allow such theories to be tested.
I heard a theory that gravity was so weak compared to the other forces because it was not native to our universe but was leaking into ours from another universe, or brane.
The way I like to picture it is like this... you're sitting in a park looking up at the night sky on Dec 31st midnight and the fireworks explode overhead, I akin the big bang to the ones that explode into a big ball of sparks (the big bang) but there isn't just one, there are many over the course of the fireworks display and each one is its own universe, with one of them being our big bang.. They are far enough apart that for the entire life of each universe they never expand enough to touch and as they die new big bangs eventually expand into their space.. 😂
The fundamental premise is (potentially) flawed, imagining a Universe that produces us/intelligent beings within it as being incredibly unlikely implicitly assumes that the parameters/constants of the Universe are free to vary - we have zero reason to suggest this is the case. (We can imagine plenty of things that are not true). If the constants of the Universe are the way they are because of some underlying theory (that we're simply not yet aware of), then our being here suddenly, vastly, increases in likelihood - you 'only' need to iterate over different starting points with our known physical laws. Positing some sort of multiverse hypothesis to 'explain' the apparent unlikeliness of our existence might just be putting forward an answer to a question that doesn't really exist. I have to say I'm not convinced. I wouldn't ignore it as a field of study though, just in case it proves fruitful.
Yes. The early big bang could have been subject to laws that resulted in the universe being the way it is and could not have been any other way, but we can't know because the laws are so fundamentally different from our current universe.
There are many choices we can make every day. The multiverse is all the different results from those choices. The multiverse exists, but we can only live through and see one of them.
The universe didn't have to form perfectly for life, life formed to exist within the conditions of this universe. Biologists agree that life would evolve differently on planets with higher or lower gravity. So whatever the laws of physics in a given universe just like Jeff Goldblum says "life finds a way."
Well, there's no way to prove any theory yet but I like Terry Pratchett's & Neil Gaiman's "the long Earth" book series on different dimensions of our existence.
Pratchett and Gaiman wrote Good Omens Pratchett wrote the long earth with Stephen Baxter and there's little Pratchett in them as he was well in to his embuggerence unfortunately. One of the very greatest lost far far too soon.
The multiverse sounds dangerously close to a "god of the gaps" fallacy in the way that it handwaves things without explanation. That doesn't mean it is wrong, but a way to test it must be found.
The word UNIverse is used in many languages with its language bound twists of course like Universum, Universo, Univers, etc. I always wondered why it's called universe when there in no one on earth who can prove that it is a UNIverse nor a Multiverse, unless... Unless... they knew that it was a multiverse. Then it would make sense that we are being taught since childhood to use the word Universe and all the other teaching that are drilled into our brains the moment we listened to the radio, watched TV or being taught in school. Just so we will never know reality, which would lead to worldwide chaos and panic. It would actually explain A LOT of other things in the world. I mean, the majority of the people would call those that claim a multiverse is real crazy or worse and laugh at them. Because that is how humans are and behave. Just drill them with info and let the humans among themselves battle it out. Those seeking knowledge will always lose because the majority will always believe the first information they have learned because they are being taught by all sorts of sources (school, other humans, media) around themselves. A great example with this behavior is religion, where you can clearly see this human behavior of belief in something that can get so strong, especially when drilled with it since childhood. People will group up that have common beliefs and fight and laugh at whoever thinks different of them. These days with internet you also have comment sections like here on UA-cam that also show this behavior. So when you read this, just think about this very good before you post a stupid reply which will probably prove my theory about human behavior to be right.
The Big Bang began at a point of near infinite density and black holes end at a point of infinite density ergo from every black hole emerges a big bang which produces a new universe. There is no beginning, no end and an infinite number of universes
Disney execs are behind pizzagate brugh. they own rights to every kid that watches a disney comercial it's in the secret constitution. do your research brugh. Thanks
I think the Anthropic principle is putting the cart before the horse here. Maybe it's not such a coincidence that our universe just so happened to form in such a way to create our sort of life, but instead that our sort of life just so happened to form based on the way our universe was formed. Who's to say that, if other universes with wildly different laws of physics exist, that life in a wildly different form than us also exists? Maybe it's not such a wild coincidence that life exists in our universe, but instead actually expected? It just smacks of that "chosen one" mentality of the same argument people use to argue intelligent design. I mean, hell, our concepts of probability and mathematics themselves only apply because of the laws we've observed in our universe. Perhaps it was simply a certainty that if any universe formed at all, it would be exactly like ours. Any empiric science at all is based on observation of our own universe by definition. It can't apply to anything outside it, or anything not governed by the same principles our universe is.
For the sake of argument let's say that this universe came about by chance. This universe has a beginning and an end so let's say it's likelihood of existing is less than 100% certain. Couldn't there be a universe that is even more stable than ours that is so stable it is in fact inevitable and more certain to exist than our own? A reality so certain to exist that it is eternal? With that in mind should anyone be certain that there isn't a perfectly stable, eternal universe that people refer to as heaven?
Personally I think infinity and eternity are unavoidable. Since the potential for our universe must have existed before the universe itself and an eternal expanse hosts that potential the universe must have come to be an infinite number of times over an eternal span. Likewise, in an infinite frame of reference that set of circumstances has more than enough space to occur an infinite number of times side by side and be entirely disconnected from each other. Multiverses indeed. Infinite in number over an eternal span.
It's completely untrue that you couldn't test the multiverse. There are some ideas as to how you could test it. Looking for gravity from another universe pulling on the edge of ours, experiments with particle colliders, studying aberrations in the cosmic background radiation, etc.
I really, really hope multiverses don't exist, because then there might be universes which might resemble hell. It's probably not a very rational fear, but I can't escape it
I love the hypocrisy of the skeptics. Who unapologetically insist that "quantum fluctuations" in a purely hypothetical singularity that seemingly came from nowhere somehow created all space, time, matter, and energy. Despite the fact that we cannot directly observe the Big Bang through any means we possess, nor can we view that hypothetical singularity and it's "quantum fluctuations". They then go on to claim that the "observable universe" is only a portion of the actual universe, most of which we will never, ever, be able to see because universal expansion has supposedly moved most of it beyond an event horizon whereby the light from the unobservable universe will never, ever, reach us. Nonetheless, it's still out there, they insist. But a multiverse? That's clearly "science fiction". 🙄
5:54 As a Star Trek fan, how does Simon not even MENTION the TNG episode “Parallels” (7x11), which I've seen described in MANY videos as one of the most well-known illustrations of the “Many Worlds” interpretation in popular culture? Related to this theory being “untestable”, in the episode, all objects & people from individual quantum realities share a common “quantum signature” that can be tested, & that signature is different in each reality.
The same people who will believe in this kind of completely unprovable and likewise unfalsifiable conjecture (this really can't even be called a hypothesis, much less a theory) will then mock and ridicule people who believe in an Intelligent Designer. Every single argument used against the belief in a Creator of the universe can be equally used against this idea. It really is amazing what crazy things people who supposedly don't believe in things that there is no evidence for will entertain without any evidence. Since there is no way to prove or disprove anything to do with the multiverse conjecture, "scientists" can literally just make anything up that they want. It really is just fanfiction for the field of astrophysics.
I think it is entirely possible to prove the multiverse. And we probably already have the technology to do so. We just need an Einstein to best figure out the way to cause a detectable shift. If there is a multiverse, the best way to explain the difference would be like a TV or radio station. They all exist in the same place, but we only tune into the one we live in. Someone just needs to figure out how to tune into another for even the smallest amount of energy. It's entirely possible if we live in a multiverse. And we proby already have the technology to do it. We probably already do this without realizing. We just need someone smart enough to prove this and control it in a tangable way.
Is it not these kind of, and parden the pun, "out of this universe" hypothesis', that have helped us push the boundries of our own understanding of our world and the universe we live in?, It wasnt too long ago, that most of the scientific community believed Black Holes were just as outlandish and were nothing more then a fantasy aswell, while its not exactly a fair comparison, due to the nature of black holes actually been observable and quantifiable in our understanding of physics, there was still a moment in time, when it was nothing but a hypothesis untill it was proven (even tho there are alt theories to explain what they are), I think these kind of ideas just prove that we humans will always have the potential to outstrip our technological capability to prove such things, and It happens to be these exact ideas and many other ones, that i find theoretical physics so fascinating and so enjoyable to read and watch about, and I for one, am a believer in such a concepts and that to me just proves that our understanding of the fundimentals of our universe, is only the tip of the iceberg and despite that we are still able to come up with such things despite knowing so little, is quitre frankly amazing. My Fave Concepts tend to be the Blackhole ones, ( altho the one of read about is slightly different and includes white holes), the infinite universes and despite been an existentially terrifiying one; the simulated Universe hypothesis I really enjoy these science ones, I hope to keep watching more like them, so thanks for another great video.
You don't need multiverse theory to believe in life somewhere in the known universe. Until mankind can travel and scan every planet, star and spacial bodies, life on any other body is just as likely as humankind being the only sentient being in the universe. If you expand the definition of life to include non carbon based life, the odds of intelligent life expand exponentially.
Multiverse theory is not physics or even cosmology, it is metaphysics/philosophy. BUT that does not mean we should not study it. It just needs to be keep in its proper mental disciplines.
It's actually pronounced "brugh" not "bruh". This is common mistake that yanks make all the time on account of the extreme budget shortages within their "education" system.

Wouldn't a black hole created universe maintain the various laws of physics we hold true? Like the conservation of energy law, black holes swallow matter and energy supplying bodies like stars, where does that energy go if not into another universe? And black holes in that universe could be supplying white holes in other universes (including our own). I'm not an astrophysicist propsoing their pet theorem, just putting it out there
Every time Simon says,"Never" I cringe. One thing is absolute about science is you can't say never. Perhaps improbable, or with our current understanding, but never never.
Of course there is a multiverse, and they are like Black holes in every universe except they have zero gravity. Now here is the thing, we are travelling through one right now, just look at the State of America and explain it to me because I have no other explanation than half the world has become Space Cadets and are now living in one.
Technically it does and it doesnt. If multiverse theory has a verse for every outcome. Then logic dictates there must be a universe where multiverses exist, and another where multiverses dont exist. So technically both sides are correct
The "perfect Earth" thought pattern that we are super unlikely to exist is wildly disproven. Dr. David Kipping does a whole video on that lol. Also I am surprised white holes weren't mentioned since they are mathematically possible.

Just so we will never know reality, which would lead to worldwide chaos and panic.
It would actually explain A LOT of other things in the world.
I mean, the majority of the people would call those that claim a multiverse is real crazy or worse and laugh at them.
Because that is how humans are and behave.
Just drill them with info and let the humans among themselves battle it out.
Those seeking knowledge will always lose because the majority will always believe the first information they have learned because they are being taught by all sorts of sources (school, other humans, media) around themselves.
A great example with this behavior is religion, where you can clearly see this human behavior of belief in something that can get so strong, especially when drilled with it since childhood.
People will group up that have common beliefs and fight and laugh at whoever thinks different of them.
These days with internet you also have comment sections like here on UA-cam that also show this behavior.
So when you read this, just think about this very good before you post a stupid reply which will probably prove my theory about human behavior to be right.
We are actually just in a Giant Snow Globe.
We can’t prove it yet but I think we will one day.
Simon hates the MECU but here he is explaining it lol
Maybe the real multiverse is the friends we made along the way?
From a distance our universe probably looks like a galaxy...not the only one either
The Big Bang began at a point of near infinite density and black holes end at a point of infinite density ergo from every black hole emerges a big bang which produces a new universe. There is no beginning, no end and an infinite number of universes
short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, don't ask for the long answer.
Everyone knows there is a multiverse. Disney owns the rights to it.🤑
Disney execs are behind pizzagate brugh. they own rights to every kid that watches a disney comercial it's in the secret constitution. do your research brugh. Thanks
I think the Anthropic principle is putting the cart before the horse here. Maybe it's not such a coincidence that our universe just so happened to form in such a way to create our sort of life, but instead that our sort of life just so happened to form based on the way our universe was formed. Who's to say that, if other universes with wildly different laws of physics exist, that life in a wildly different form than us also exists? Maybe it's not such a wild coincidence that life exists in our universe, but instead actually expected? It just smacks of that "chosen one" mentality of the same argument people use to argue intelligent design.
I mean, hell, our concepts of probability and mathematics themselves only apply because of the laws we've observed in our universe. Perhaps it was simply a certainty that if any universe formed at all, it would be exactly like ours. Any empiric science at all is based on observation of our own universe by definition. It can't apply to anything outside it, or anything not governed by the same principles our universe is.
Classic Simon.
For the sake of argument let's say that this universe came about by chance. This universe has a beginning and an end so let's say it's likelihood of existing is less than 100% certain. Couldn't there be a universe that is even more stable than ours that is so stable it is in fact inevitable and more certain to exist than our own? A reality so certain to exist that it is eternal? With that in mind should anyone be certain that there isn't a perfectly stable, eternal universe that people refer to as heaven?
Personally I think infinity and eternity are unavoidable. Since the potential for our universe must have existed before the universe itself and an eternal expanse hosts that potential the universe must have come to be an infinite number of times over an eternal span. Likewise, in an infinite frame of reference that set of circumstances has more than enough space to occur an infinite number of times side by side and be entirely disconnected from each other. Multiverses indeed. Infinite in number over an eternal span.
Do you ever wonder if Simon’s head is just edited onto someone else’s body?
It's completely untrue that you couldn't test the multiverse. There are some ideas as to how you could test it. Looking for gravity from another universe pulling on the edge of ours, experiments with particle colliders, studying aberrations in the cosmic background radiation, etc.
I really, really hope multiverses don't exist, because then there might be universes which might resemble hell. It's probably not a very rational fear, but I can't escape it
I'm a simple dude, I see him I watch the video. Doesn't matter if it's war, geopolotics, cosmology, or cooking😂
Laura Mersini-Houghton has proposed LISA may provide a clue when it is active.
Butterfly’s must be the most powerful thing in the universe
What? The "Multiverse" isn't just a comic book gimmick?! 😳😯
Of course not,how could marvel and DC make their films if the multiverse wasn’t real for them totally true to life stories they make?
I like to think there is a Multiverse. Mainly because I like to exercise my imagination by thinking of all the different possibilities.
I love the hypocrisy of the skeptics. Who unapologetically insist that "quantum fluctuations" in a purely hypothetical singularity that seemingly came from nowhere somehow created all space, time, matter, and energy. Despite the fact that we cannot directly observe the Big Bang through any means we possess, nor can we view that hypothetical singularity and it's "quantum fluctuations". They then go on to claim that the "observable universe" is only a portion of the actual universe, most of which we will never, ever, be able to see because universal expansion has supposedly moved most of it beyond an event horizon whereby the light from the unobservable universe will never, ever, reach us. Nonetheless, it's still out there, they insist. But a multiverse? That's clearly "science fiction". 🙄
5:54 As a Star Trek fan, how does Simon not even MENTION the TNG episode “Parallels” (7x11), which I've seen described in MANY videos as one of the most well-known illustrations of the “Many Worlds” interpretation in popular culture?
Related to this theory being “untestable”, in the episode, all objects & people from individual quantum realities share a common “quantum signature” that can be tested, & that signature is different in each reality.
Whistlerverse 😮😂
'.... the multiverse is a hypothetical by-product of human reason and imagination....' but we're still going to make a UA-cam vid about it!
The algorithm failed by not showing me this addition to the Whistlerverse. Sorry for being late to the party
The same people who will believe in this kind of completely unprovable and likewise unfalsifiable conjecture (this really can't even be called a hypothesis, much less a theory) will then mock and ridicule people who believe in an Intelligent Designer. Every single argument used against the belief in a Creator of the universe can be equally used against this idea. It really is amazing what crazy things people who supposedly don't believe in things that there is no evidence for will entertain without any evidence.
Since there is no way to prove or disprove anything to do with the multiverse conjecture, "scientists" can literally just make anything up that they want. It really is just fanfiction for the field of astrophysics.
The difference is math
I think it is entirely possible to prove the multiverse. And we probably already have the technology to do so. We just need an Einstein to best figure out the way to cause a detectable shift.
If there is a multiverse, the best way to explain the difference would be like a TV or radio station. They all exist in the same place, but we only tune into the one we live in. Someone just needs to figure out how to tune into another for even the smallest amount of energy.
It's entirely possible if we live in a multiverse. And we proby already have the technology to do it. We probably already do this without realizing. We just need someone smart enough to prove this and control it in a tangable way.
Is it not these kind of, and parden the pun, "out of this universe" hypothesis', that have helped us push the boundries of our own understanding of our world and the universe we live in?, It wasnt too long ago, that most of the scientific community believed Black Holes were just as outlandish and were nothing more then a fantasy aswell, while its not exactly a fair comparison, due to the nature of black holes actually been observable and quantifiable in our understanding of physics, there was still a moment in time, when it was nothing but a hypothesis untill it was proven (even tho there are alt theories to explain what they are), I think these kind of ideas just prove that we humans will always have the potential to outstrip our technological capability to prove such things,
and It happens to be these exact ideas and many other ones, that i find theoretical physics so fascinating and so enjoyable to read and watch about, and I for one, am a believer in such a concepts and that to me just proves that our understanding of the fundimentals of our universe, is only the tip of the iceberg and despite that we are still able to come up with such things despite knowing so little, is quitre frankly amazing.
My Fave Concepts tend to be the Blackhole ones, ( altho the one of read about is slightly different and includes white holes), the infinite universes and despite been an existentially terrifiying one; the simulated Universe hypothesis
I really enjoy these science ones, I hope to keep watching more like them, so thanks for another great video.
This video exists? *MULTIVERSE CONFIRMED!*
Ugh.. The background music is so loud and distracting it feels like I have another tab open that's playing music... 😒
You don't need multiverse theory to believe in life somewhere in the known universe. Until mankind can travel and scan every planet, star and spacial bodies, life on any other body is just as likely as humankind being the only sentient being in the universe. If you expand the definition of life to include non carbon based life, the odds of intelligent life expand exponentially.
Multiverse theory is not physics or even cosmology, it is metaphysics/philosophy. BUT that does not mean we should not study it. It just needs to be keep in its proper mental disciplines.
You are wrong. I have a triple pHD brugh you cannot pull reindeer games on me son.
🙋♂️ I am one of those naysayers that think it’s a wildly speculative, unfalsifiable, and unsupported theory.
No evidence that they are real, but it does lead to some interesting Science Fiction.
Bruh, all I know is that there is the universe and the Whistleverse.
It's actually pronounced "brugh" not "bruh". This is common mistake that yanks make all the time on account of the extreme budget shortages within their "education" system. It's real good that a few can still read and right and do maths... but it's a dang shame that the illiteracy rate for yankins is 89.39% and rising. Most yanks are actually pumpkin headed but they don't let them have social media accounts so legit humans don't realize how many are actually out there in 'merica.

Physicists should learn from the past. Never say never.
Comment for the algorithm.
Here is the question that *really* matters:
Will the existence or non-existence of a multiverse have _any_ affect on my life? No? Well okay then.
Wouldn't a black hole created universe maintain the various laws of physics we hold true? Like the conservation of energy law, black holes swallow matter and energy supplying bodies like stars, where does that energy go if not into another universe? And black holes in that universe could be supplying white holes in other universes (including our own). I'm not an astrophysicist propsoing their pet theorem, just putting it out there
Cool
Every time Simon says,"Never" I cringe. One thing is absolute about science is you can't say never. Perhaps improbable, or with our current understanding, but never never.
MY EAR BALLS! 🎧
The universe is infinite. Which means an infinite number of other “universes” can fit in the existing one.
The universe is finite. Get over it son.
That's not how it works, it would just mean this one is infinite.
If others exist it would be outside, which we can't comprehend but can acknowledge.

Anyone that starts talking to me of the multiverse being real, I just say we exist in the one that there is no multiverse🤣.
Of course there is a multiverse, and they are like Black holes in every universe except they have zero gravity. Now here is the thing, we are travelling through one right now, just look at the State of America and explain it to me because I have no other explanation than half the world has become Space Cadets and are now living in one.
Races talk
Bro, did you even plug this? I watch your content with religious punctuality saw this on my feet and was like another one
Yaaaay, I want to go to the universe where Dr Who is real 😊😂😂😂
Technically it does and it doesnt.
If multiverse theory has a verse for every outcome. Then logic dictates there must be a universe where multiverses exist, and another where multiverses dont exist. So technically both sides are correct
I multiverse is a lot more realistic than any form of higher power.
The "perfect Earth" thought pattern that we are super unlikely to exist is wildly disproven. Dr. David Kipping does a whole video on that lol.
Also I am surprised white holes weren't mentioned since they are mathematically possible.
