Physics to God - The Typical Universe Premise - S2:E7

Jan 05 2025 29 mins 17

Other Episodes

This episode discusses something many people fail to mention about the multiverse - that it
actually makes a prediction.

Well, sort of. You can probably guess that a theory about an infinite number of unobservable
parallel universes can’t make a conventional prediction in the standard scientific sense. But with
this “prediction”, you’ll see how multiverse scientists can avoid the three problems that plague a
naive multiverse.

While this episode is incredibly important for understanding the multiverse, it’s more complicated than the last one. But don’t worry - we have a marble analogy that makes everything crystal clear.
