Not a universe....a MULTIVERSE

space is ridiculous...
 
Also, if you throw a dice in our universe, it lands on the side we see only in our universe (the quantum wave function collapses to our point in space/time) but it lands in 5 other universes on the other sides. Essentially, for every event that happens or has ever happened there is a parallel multiverse in which that event takes place. Pretty mind blowing eh?

Read some of the latest quantum shit....just don't think about it while high or you will trip balls.

Quantum tunneling and entanglement is really cool too.
 
Wow. Such a good video. Thanks for posting that.

I really liked the last two or so minutes of the video. Especially his take on dark matter, his explanation rang very possible in my head.
 
space is amazing. trying to comprehend that we are on a little planet in a big black abyss that no one knowns where it ends or if it ever does is amazing. whenever i think about space i always try to change the subject because i think about it way to hard
 
agreed. the way he puts it all together actually makes a lot of sense and seems possible
 
Thats insane, especially the white/black hole concept. But it also makes so much more sense than BAMF explosion of matter. Thats crazy
 
It would be crazy if the LISA Satellite and the other two in 2011 somehow made a discovery that related to the end of the World in December 2012. Weird to think about.
 
woww that was fucking interesting. if this theory becomes an actual law, like, it gets proved, that is going to be ridiculous.

so is the vid from 2005? cause he said LISA would go up in 6 years and hes like 2011/?
 
Okay. I have to try and restrain myself here, because this could get really long really fast.

But you have to be real careful saying that there are definitely "other universes". First, keep in mind that the guy in this video (Michio Kaku, a physicist at NYU, I think) is a theoretician. What that means is that even though he mentions experimental evidence, 90% of the things he says are basically speculative, only based on some equations on a piece of paper. It's an intriguing and mathematically simple solution to have other universes, but there's really no concrete, empirical evidence for the idea itself as of now.

Think about it for a second. If there are really universes outside our own, how would we know it? By definition, they're completely separate from ours. It's an interesting possibility, but only one of many.

Sadly, that goes for most of the things Kaku says. Keep in mind, he's trying to sell books and stuff to the public. Claims like that are what grabs people's intention, but in most cases their experimental verifiability (at least with present technology) is dubious at best. I've read several of his books at least partially, and even though they're interesting, most of what he says is still very theoretical.

Don't get me wrong, this stuff is incredibly interesting. But there is a lot more to it than this 10 minute clip. It's great that this is getting people interested in science, but there is a line where it ceases to be science and becomes science fiction, and in my opinion Kaku comes pretty close to this at times. And trust me, there is a lot of proven science that is just as interesting - someone earlier mentioned quantum mechanics, which is interesting and has been experimentally verified to amazing accuracy.

Sorry, that ended up pretty long, but whatever. This is my area of interest - I could go on a lot longer.

Sparknotes (this one needs it): Interesting movie, but all very theoretical.
 
yeah i dont really believe in that because that means their are an infinite number of universes created every second. that has to be bullshit
 
i love that guy!! he has several youtube vids that i've seeen before about the most interesting stuff like aliens and shit. I think the thought of us being a baby universe coming from a bigger one and building new ones is a ver reasonable thought, where does all the matter that go to the black holes go? another universe, and the matter in our universe comes from another black hole or "umbilical cord" from a bigger universe or the "mother". that guy always has the easiest examples to compared to that make it racionable (sp).
 
Well, we did think the same thing about planets way back in the day....
This video is why I'm taking physics in university.
 
That just blew my mind...I feel so small right now.

I like how he used metaphors to explain himself and his findings. He does make it sound like a religion in a way. I am looking foward to those new discoveries.
 
I'm in Quantum Physics right now...it takes this shit to a whole new level. Learning the equations for this stuff is so mind blowing that anyone could ever figure it out. Quantum Mechanics is definitely one of the best and worst classes I have ever taken.
 
I thought that to at first but then i remembered how much my 11th grade physics class sucked, and how physics got me grounded from skiing for failing all of the tests/
 
that guy is on every history channel special about anything. anyway its interesting stuff. i have to take theoretical physics for my degree but that wont be for another 2 or 3 semesters, ill have to revisit this when i finish that class
