The Multiverse Hypothesis Explained by Neil deGrasse Tyson

The multiverse hypothesis or theory holds that a group of multiple universes (possibly infinite universes) comprise everything that exists: The entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. The renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains in detail the multiverse hypothesis.

However, prominent physicists are divided about whether any other universes exist outside of our own. Some even go as far as to say that the multiverse is not a legitimate topic of scientific inquiry. Because it can not be empirically falsified. But Neil deGrasse Tyson among other prominent cosmologists, thinks that given our understanding of quantum mechanics and the theory of General relativity, the possibility of the existence of the multiverse is a legitimate scientific hypothesis.

Steven Weinberg said that if the multiverse existed, the hope of finding a rational explanation for the precise values of quark masses and other constants of the standard model that we observe in our Big Bang is doomed, for their values would be an accident of the particular part of the multiverse in which we live.

Some scientists analyzed the data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, an uncrewed spacecraft operating from 2001 to 2010 that measured temperature differences across the sky in the cosmic microwave background, the radiant heat remaining from the Big Bang, and claimed they found evidence suggesting that our universe collided with other parallel universes in the distant past.

However, a more thorough data analysis from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and from the Planck Satellite, a space observatory operated by the European Space Agency from 2009 to 2013, which mapped the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background, did not find any statistically significant evidence of universe collisions. there was no evidence of any gravitational pull of other universes on ours either. And to add insult to injury to the proponents that the multiverse hypothesis has been backed up by statistical evidence, the Planck satellite, has a resolution three times higher than the WMA Probe.

Our brains are not evolutionarily equipped to intuitively understand quantum mechanics and large scale cosmic phenomena. But Neil deGrasse Tyson with his usual wits explains the multiverse hypothesis in layman's terms.

What if De Ja Vu is a moment in time where you and yourself in a different universe briefly are doing the exact same thing at that moment in time?

As Einstein said, “any darn fool can make something complex, it takes a genius to make it simple”. Neil has the ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms . The narrator, on the other hand, was explaining the concept of multiverses in a very complex way.

In this universe, I'm mourning the loss of my dad, but I'm convinced, in another universe, at this moment, my father is having a glorious time with me and my family.

[BigDexMedia]

The multiverse has always gained my attention since it’s introduction into comics and just knowing how it could be real is very fascinating. I wouldn’t mind meeting another Variant of myself.

[MrGilRoland]

Relax. In another universe you understood this video.

[vvalenciayearsago]

In an another universe, There’s a video Talking about How It’s unlikely that other universes Exist.

[Totally_Bonkers]

My belief is that we're all in one *REALLY* big void, and many spaces in this void had their own big bang. So, across the entire space, many universes are growing and expanding in uneven bubbles, that will eventually meet up. Basically, there's no parallel universes or dimensions or anything, it's just a really far away place on the same plane of existence

[tienthuy]

it's truely incredible how the ancient people, without the modern technology that we have today, could pursuit such a theory like this. I feel like their civilization is much more progressive than we thought

[kram]

Theory I had as a kid is that our dreams show us other lives/paths. Every dream is another universe. Didn't know how to put it into words but I've always believed in alternative realities.

[erich]

Hopefully an alternate Earth has solved this and how to travel through different universes. That would be pretty cool.

[KingMasterHot]

In another universe, there aren’t as many annoying ads.

[amauryhs]

Someone stop him from meeting himself, starting a multiversal war and creating the TVA

POV: It’s 2 in the morning and your trying to fall asleep and you find this gem

[OhCarlJr]

Well who honestly knows the truth? Despite it being a movie, in Multiverse of Madness they explain it that we can see our “variants” lives from another universe when we dream. Other versions of ourselves real or not, it’s a fascinating concept.

I remember putting this video in my "watch later" 2-3 years ago, that I remember it, that I don't loose it, that one day I will fully understand this.... Today is the day 🙏

[ArsonRides]

Honestly, i'm only here because im high as hell and im drinkin, and i want to believe that i can retrain this knowledge and tell people about these theories to look smart, but in reality, i know i'm going to curl myself into a ball and wish i was in a multiverse where i didn't shit pants in the 3rd grade.

[mossabahemed]

huge shout out to the camera man for traveling the universe for this video.

[TheGreaser]

The multiverse is an example of 'making things up as you go along."!

[thehovable]

The content of this video aside, props to the effects team on this video. Outstanding graphics and visualizations!
