Neil chuckling at “carbon copy” is my favorite thing today.

If we're in the most valid universe of all universes, then it is a fact that Chuck is by and far the best co-host StarTalk could have recruited. Way to go guys! 👏

[nofarDcohen]

I love how Neil just say things about the universe, mostly stuff I already know, and can still blow my mind. This is pure brain food and I'm so happy StarTalk exists.
Thank you💜🙏🏼🌌

[DaultonBrown]

chuck nice is the perfect co-host. i hope he gets all the props and praise he deserves

[AbbyTheAbinator]

hahaha the first reaction shot of Joe while Neil is explaining, is absolutely priceless 🤣

[myjeeps]

Love me some Max Tegmark content. He's so grounded for someone who knows so much.

[anthonycraig]

I felt like I was watching a universe that Rick and Morty may have visited.

[amandamoushabek]

Wow! Why was that conversation 10x trippier in cartoon? I freakin loved it, I wish they were all like that!

[JusNoBS]

This is like interdenominational cable TV. We are seeing of the multiverse of different Star Talks. ✨

07:25 when Neil is laughing at his own brilliant thoughts :D

[Ali]

What if the laws of physics aren't bound to its own universe but instead bound to the very particles that the universe owns?
This means that if you travel into another universe, their different laws of physics won't apply to you since your particles were from the other universe.

If this is true, I wonder what would happen if a reaction took place between particles from two or more different universes with contradicting laws, reactions like combustion.


I really would like your thoughts on the idea.

[justinmcbroom]

The passion is infectious!! I've been waiting for the James Webb Space Telescope for so long it's kind of surreal it's almost ready. I think these mind boggles are about to get a whole lot trippier in the coming years.

At 3:43 silicon says Iron below.
Love each and every episode of startalk. Thank you for showering us with knowledge. Waiting for next.

[raowaqas]

I never knew, learning science can be that easy and interesting.
Thanks man.

[danielsantos]

This reminds me of a movie called Transcendance, where the protagonist uploads his cousnciusness into a computer before he dies, but the movie treated it as if he was the same person. But I remember thinking that wasn't immortality because his original self still died and ceased to exist, and the new cousnciusness on the computer is an identical copy, it's is own being.

I think the only way for us to trully be immortal is with bio engeneering reversing or stopping aging if that's possible. And any sort of cloning or copying you would just be creating new individuals identical to you.

Thank you got adapting to this. It makes it so much easier to understand visually for my brother and I. Love it 😊 thank you

[johnyepthomi]

Wouldn’t mind a weekly or biweekly release of animated StarTalk just like this one. It somehow makes it easier to focus on the information being imparted or the intellectual exchange that’s goes on in such a presentation. But making it frequent might also take away its power. So a moderation in release would be the most appropriate in my opinion if you decide to do so.

[alanbrady]

I Love discussions about the multiverse 😁 however the other me in another universe hate’s everything about the idea of a multiverse.. truly mind boggling stuff!

[jonathanjollimore]

Something that inspired me to write but I will never get any credit so whatever I am glad people enjoyed my idea

[jordanshreds]

This episode was SUCH a trip. I love pondering these sorts of thing!
