    "Dark energy is a code name for our ignorance". - beautifully and honestly described as scientists do. If only religions could be so honest and pragmatic.

    The idea of a multiverse where all infinite possibilities occur is terrifying. Because worlds like ours, and worlds far worse than ours will reiterate infinitely. Infinite holocausts, infinite animals being preyed upon, infinite wars and torture. Sure there will also be infinite good things happening. It's still terrifying to ponder.

    Supernatural does not mean enormous natural. It means hardly any natural. They wasted a good word on something we just made up.

    No problem. Bronze and iron age mythologies say humans are the chosen ones and will live forever. Most human beings believe some form of that self-serving mythology.

    I was disappointed at Kaku's discussion of Proton decay as if it is a fact, when he should know that it is purely theoretical, it violates the standard model, and it has never yet been observed.

    The universe will never end. It's got that sigma energy.

    Will the universe end? I don't think it will, or if so, that another version will be reborn. Time and the universe doesn't begin or end, it just has always been and always will be, in some form or another. Why? Because something exists. And because something does exist, something MUST exist, and nothingness can't exist.

    Tegmark: "Dark energy is just a code word for our ignorance." My sentiments exactly.

    The universe ends when TH-cam runs out of videos.

    The filming dates of these episodes is really peculiar.

    Why do most humans not ever ponder these higher mysteries? Most are perfectly content going through life without thinking about these fundamental “laws”. I love the Universe, I hope I never stop having the ability to ponder and observe it.

    Michio Kaku is always such a drama queen. He knows very well that the Milky Way won't "die in fire" upon merging with Andromeda. Stars are so far apart that it's improbable that any single collision will take place.

    In the next millennium people will look at videos like this and think how quaint it is that we knew so little and troubled our minds with things we knew nothing about. I

    I don’t understand how this channel has so many episodes of such a high quality, and still not getting a million subscribers.

    It's amusing the way people talk about "we", as if human beings will still be around over the time scales they're speculating about!

    I find this subject fascinating but sometimes the answers get a bit more than i am able to conceptualize. Saul Perlmutter is always a welcome sight to articulate very heady subject matter in a form i can digest.

    Michio always seems so sure of himself. He’s a great speaker but lord kelvin also thought he and his cohorts had all the answers. I’m guessing we don’t even know what questions to ask to find these answers yet.
