Is Our Universe Part Of A Multiverse - Professor Alan H. Guth Lecture
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Professor Alan H. Guth Lecture, winner of the 2009 Newton Medal gives a lecture asking if our universe is part of a multiverse. Professor Guth (born February 27, 1947) is an American theoretical physicist and cosmologist. Guth has researched elementary particle theory (and how particle theory is applicable to the early universe). Currently serving as Victor Weisskopf Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he is the originator of the inflationary universe theory. He graduated from MIT in 1968 in physics and stayed to receive a master's and a doctorate, also in physics.

Question: If the hottest part of creation was during the moments after the "big bang" and later cooled off, why is it that the higher elements were formed in Super Nova's? Were the temps inside the super novas hotter than the temps from the big bang? That doesn't seem logical to me. I've always read that the hottest moment of our universe was at the moment of creation at about 10 to the minus 33, or otherwise the "Planck time". If the higher elements were created from the "super novas", then the highest temps had to be higher during super novas, as opposed to the temps that occurred during the "big bang"? Please understand, I do not profess to be a scientist, I consider myself a layperson with a high interest in this field of study. So any "trolls" will be disregarded from any of my responsive comments. Anybody who cares to give me a fair scientific response will be appreciated. DPA.

Dr. Leonard Susskind is usually given the credit being the scientist who can explain things best to the layperson. However, I personally think that Dr. Alan Guth does equally as good a job. Both gentlemen are the best of the best and I appreciate learning from both of them. As a student at FIT in Melbourne, Fl. in 1970, for two years, I can say I've learned more on Youtube on channels like this, than sitting in boring classrooms back in the day. There is no excuse for anybody to be "stupid" today if they have an internet connection. It now becomes a choice to be either smart or dumb, if you have an internet connection. It's your choice to watch dance videos, or lectures like the above. JMHO.

God dammit! Show the projection! Terrible cameraman.
-
this model of the multiverse doesn't "explain" nothing it just says that we are an accident in an infinity of other accidents .
-
Terrible camera work. Why is it so dark? It ruins a fascinating lecture.
-
I find this very interesting.
-
The great discovery here is the dark energy of Comic Sans. Predicted by the theory of general relativity and with a negative energy value, Comic Sans is the repulsive force that counteracts the attraction of all bodies by known physical laws.
-
But where did the multiverse come from? How old is it?
-
Do anything I think of or want to do is real?
-
Sorry, it is not Symetry breaking, more like a reunification of the fundamental forces, creating a new superforce, and a new Universe is born.
-
Symetry breaking does not only happen at the microcosm. It happens at the macro level as well.
-
The eternal inlation model, proposed by Roger Penrose, makes a whole lot of sense to me. The early Universe, before the Big Bang, is analogous to the final end state of our Universe.

I find I connect with the way Professor Guth explains things.
-
Scalar gravity field? - so, using fancy words is meant to describe its existence? - what happened to good old fashion evidence?
-
So what? if you are dumb enough to see all these amazing creation as chance phenomenon, either you are retarded or you need to wake up and see the power of ALMIGHTY GOD.
-
Superb and honest lecture.
-
Since when evolution has its own intelligence to create such a designed universe and life that goes with it? Just think and forget about what church and priests say.
-
Horrible camera work, reducing the value of this otherwise great lecture.
