Physics to God is a guided journey through modern physics to discover God. We start from the fine tuning of the constants of nature, travel through the multiverse, and ultimately arrive at a compelling idea of God.

Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) - S2:E16

Mar 09 2025 33 mins  
This episode examines physicist Roger Penrose's extremely wild and imaginative theory for explaining the ridiculously improbable order of the Big Bang without invoking an intelligent cause. Penrose describes the tremendous problem of explaining the unlikely Big Bang as follows: In order to produce a universe resembling the one in which we live, the Creator would have to aim for an

Cyclic Universes and Bouncing Cosmology - S2:E15

Mar 02 2025 28 mins  
Our universe’s initial state was incredibly unlikely, and if it were even slightly different, nothing would exist except for black holes. This episode discusses physicist Paul Steinhardt’s theory of Bouncing Cosmology which attempts to explain this unlikely beginning without requiring either an infinite varied multiverse or an intelligent cause. This theory is so wild and imagi

Cosmological Natural Selection - S2:E14

Feb 23 2025 45 mins  
Biologist Richard Dawkins, in his book, The Blind Watchmaker, wrote the following: The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is, in principle, capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity. Even if the evidence did not favour it, it would still be the best theory available. In this episode, we discuss physicist Lee Smol

Is Multiverse Science? - S2:E13

Feb 16 2025 38 mins  
Multiverse scientists deviate from the longstanding scientific method, grounded in predictions and observations, by positing infinitely many unobservable parallel universes to explain fine tuning. They have subtly switched to a mathematically formulated philosophical theory about an infinite multiverse to explain the fine tuning of our one ordered universe. This episode justifies w

Philosophical and Scientific Methods for Multiverse - S2:E12

Feb 09 2025 35 mins  
The scientific method has been the key to the great success of science over the past 300 years, and it’s incredibly important to distinguish it from the philosophical method. You probably learned about the scientific method in 5th grade, and might be surprised we’re doing an episode on it. But times are changing. There’s now a serious controversy in the scientific community a

The Mathematical Multiverse and the Meta-Measure Problem - S2:E11

Feb 02 2025 37 mins  
If you thought multiverse scientists have difficulty explaining the fine tuning of the constants without God, you won’t believe the trouble they have explaining away the designed laws of nature. The mathematical multiverse solution to the design of the laws is so outlandish it makes a standard multiverse look tame by comparison. It’s really the ultimate multiverse theory - and

The Multiverse’s Measure Problem - S2:E10

Jan 26 2025 34 mins  
In an infinite multiverse, the need to calculate if our universe is typical leads directly to the devastating three-layered measure problem: ad hoc measures are bad ideas to begin with, all intuitive measures don’t work, and even if multiverse scientists were to find a contrived measure that did work, it would beg the question of what fine tuned and designed it? While multiverse

Infinities and Measures - S2:E9

Jan 19 2025 22 mins  
In previous episodes, we discussed the multiverse's sole "prediction" that we are typical observers in a typical universe. However, this ignored the major problem that it doesn't seem possible for an infinite varied multiverse to use probabilities to make any prediction whatsoever because there are an infinite number of copies of every possible universe! To get around this problem,

Boltzmann Brain and Grand Universe Problems - S2:E8

Jan 12 2025 31 mins  
The Boltzmann Brain problem – the multiverse's prediction that you are a randomly fluctuated brain with false memories – sounds like a ridiculous problem. In a sense, it is. But it's nevertheless a major challenge for the multiverse which claims we are typical observers. The Grand Universe problem – the sheer splendor and grandeur of our immense universe – likewise presents

The Typical Universe Premise - S2:E7

Jan 05 2025 29 mins  
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 a
