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.

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

Naive Multiverse - S2:E6

Dec 29 2024 23 mins

This is probably our favorite episode in the series. It was certainly the most fun to record. Together with the next four episodes, it contains the heart of our argument rejecting the multiverse and marks the conceptual turning point of this entire series. This episode in particular has a strange objective - to thoroughly reject a naive version of multiverse theory that no serious

String Theory Multiverse - S2:E5

Dec 22 2024 34 mins

Multiverse scientists use string theory to support the Varied Multiverse Premise. This episode will evaluate whether or not string theory truly supports the notion that the constants vary between universes. To do so, we’ll first need to give a little context on how string theory fits into the picture of modern physics and the pursuit of a final theory of everything (one theory th

Hidden Premise of Multiverse - S2:E4

Dec 15 2024 30 mins

Multiverse scientists support the Varied Multiverse Premise - the claim that the constants vary from universe to universe - by using fine tuning, the very same evidence we use for the existence of God. While it might sound strange that we come to the opposite conclusion based on the exact same evidence, this episode shows how it’s possible. Since multiverse scientists harbor a hi

Eternal Inflation Multiverse - S2:E3

Dec 08 2024 31 mins

This episode discusses the Eternal Inflation Multiverse - the strongest support from modern physics for an infinite multiverse. This support comes from the theory of inflation and, in particular, from a model for this theory known as eternal inflation. By the time we’re done, you’ll have a basic idea of the theory of inflation and its various models, and see to what extent eter

The Infinite Multiverse Premise - S2:E2

Dec 01 2024 42 mins

After an introductory discussion about the concept of infinity, this episode considers three lines of evidence that multiverse supporters bring to justify the Infinite Multiverse Premise. Inductive reasoning; Empirical evidence; Many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Besides explaining these attempted supports, we’ll point out two problems with each of them. F
