Well done! My next question: how is the landscape of multiverse created? What is it made of? Where does the energy of the landscape come from? Is landscape infinite? Is there any time (not as we know it) in there?

I just can say: Perfect match!!! She´s genius!!! Congrats.

Isn't existence recursive no matter how you look at it? A multiverse could explain where the universe obtained its physical constants from. Some models of string theory say that there is a sort of pool of stuff in the multiverse, and the big bang is actually the universe forming like a bubble and expanding some of that stuff at the same time. Then we get the physical constants. Almost like bubbles of water vapour forming at the bottom of a pot of boiling water. But, then where does the "stuff" come from in the multiverse? And after that question is answered, would it not be valid to further ask where the thing that gave the multiverse the "stuff" get the "stuff" to begin with? And so on, and so forth? Same with the standard models thus far, as well. Even if there is no multiverse, where the stuff in the universe came from will ultimately lead to recursion, right?

Quite a plausible story. But I can't help feeling that the cooler area of background radiation in the southern sky is just the imprint of the giant turtle's shell.

I bet she's an alien.

Question: after a star crunches on itself and does not create a black hole due to lack of energy, can anyone tell me where can I see this star (in what shape) like...a comet, little asteroid, little cosmic dust??? If we find that, and prove this was the star, then this theory can be "physically" proven instead of mathematically???
-
Relativity and Quantum theory? I thought quantum field had something to do with it!!!
-
Can this landscape from where all universes are born ever be proven????? What could it be made of? Energy? Force? Lover her!!!!

Could life exist within this multiverse origin point too ? There is evidence to suggest that consciousness will always be created where energy is present? Wonder what comes first, consciousness or energy? Does consciousness of a matter energy interaction define Life ? if consciousness is primary it could well be that this is the essence that the multi-versus born from? So if consciousness ( thoughts ) is the origin point of the universe, could it be that all conscious interaction, ( our thoughts ) actually create new universes? Seeing as we're dealing with infinity is here there is no reason why this suggestion couldn't be entertained.???

relativity x quantum mechanics, will we eventually witness it ?

Beautiful woman!!

She has the same presence and energy as Joni Mitchell. Maybe she'll become a
legend too. -
She didn't say black holes dont exist she said they can't be created the way we thought they should be created by the collapse of a certain kind of star who's name I forget still trying to combine relativity and quantum theory may create all sorts of problems I haven't heard of her winning any awards so until I do I can't take something seriously until they start teaching it in classes.

I have a theory that of all the sub universes in the multiverse (were the multiverse is the main universe), normal sub universes arises from a much slower gradual development then the tremendous speed and process that ours did. And during the trillions of years before our sub universe came into being, eventually a civilisation amongst the many sub universes figured out a way to make sub universes much quicker then the natural way. That's why the big bang doesn't make sense in terms of the trigger. Maybe in another sub universe the natural process of the big bang is so radically different that we can't figure it out in ours because it's simply not natural.

you rock laura

the fact that quantum mechanics defies relativity means that all equations derived from Einsteins relativity are fairy tales

I proved that black holes don't exist here on youtube in 2008. The reason I never received recognition however is that I use projective geometry. Just because they don't understand doesn't mean....
Well good to see someone else is working on it.
If you ever want to actually 'visualize' unification see videos I made. My theory was on the web in 96 and copyrighted in 2002 to prove it, as well as predict years ahead of time Egor Babaev's model for superconductivity.
...and there is no multiverse. There is however an infinite universe, which I can prove as well. -
y ahi va una vez mas habriendose paso, talves estamos a puertas de una nueva manera de ver el universo (la no existencia de los agujeros negros eh)

she is good lecturer
-
@21 she believes in black hole now she doesnt ha ha ha.
