[yt] Hard as it is to swallow, cutting-edge theories are suggesting that our universe may not be the only universe. Instead, it may be just one of an infinite number of universes that make up the "multiverse." In this show, Brian Greene takes us on a tour of this brave new theory at the frontier of physics, showing what some of these alternate realities might be like. Some universes may be almost indistinguishable from our own; others may contain variations of all of us, where we exist but with different families, careers, and life stories. In still others, reality may be so radically different from ours as to be unrecognizable. Brian Greene reveals why this radical new picture of the cosmos is getting serious attention from scientists. It won't be easy to prove, but if it's right, our understanding of space, time, and our place in the universe will never be the same.

Paybacksays...So... ultimately we might find out "God" was just a being working in a monstrously huge Manhattan Project, and we're just a bunch of strings existing within "His" Trinity Site out in the middle of a baffingly massive Alamogordo?
Honestly? I'd prefer that idea over something THAT huge actually giving a shit about what we do.
shinyblurrysays...God would be immoral if He didn't care what we did. It's odd that you don't correlate the natural law of the Universe with the natural law of your conscience, and that you think one can ultimately be violated while the other cannot.

chingalerajokingly says..."The Multiverse, every universe in it, is irrational, sloppy. I try to make it rational. I try to make it neat. You call it murder. How can I murder myself 123 times? I just took those wasted energies and transferred them to one container: me. What if that is our fate? To unite with ourselves, to be unified forever. To be one. I will be The One."
