- Who wins in a battle between General Relativity and Quantum Physics? The answer has pretty serious implications for our view of the universe. Do we live in a continuum across an infinite number of parallel universes? Neil deGrasse Tyson has got an answer that might surprise you.
What came before the Big Bang? Neil explains why such a question has no meaning. Was the singularity at the beginning of time embedded in a higher-dimension? And what does that mean for our ability to understand the universe?
Where did the ingredients for life come from? Neil explains why it takes so long to make said ingredients, and offers a perspective on areas of the universe that are teeming with life.
Why is everything round? Neil offers insight into the forces that shape our universe... into mostly round things. Why are there exceptions? Find out in this episode.

This is a shit post video..😂😅😊 sorry neil..❤
I have a question that I've never heard asked before. We believe that black holes have a Schwarzschild radius, but would that mean that whatever center the universe began at also had a Schwarzschild radius? Would that even matter?
Neil, read my book, The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik
Neil? In order to answer to this q you'll need to take psyhodelic substancesor you want me to give you short answer
Lose the stupid fuckin music. I came to hear the lesson, no the dumb fucking music in the background, like it's suppose to make me feel something? WTF would be the purpose, other than to annoy? LOSE THE FUCKING MUSIC.
Chuck's acting skills peaked. He already know all these concepts but acts as if he heard it for the first time and blown his mind 😂
Yeah he may not be a full-blown doctor. PhD but he is definitely a science researcher at this point..... You can't be around all of these brilliant scientists and doctors and not know something after all these years.. but his paycheck is in entertainment so he got to keep it gone😂😂😂😂
It's supposed to be interactive for those of us who don't know.
Honestly some of Chuck's "acting" is probably his ADHD. That problem we tend to have with "object permanence" doesn't just happen with physical items. It happens with people, emotions, & yes even knowledge, especially when that knowledge involves our "special interest" but we are limited in who we can discuss that special topic with.
I'd almost bet any time Chuck has had to go deal with other commitments, the first hour of their conversations are just both of them info dumping on each other, talking over each other & about 3-6 different topics at the same time until they get to anything that looks like a normal conversation between 2 neurotypical people about 1 topic.
Probably true , likely because he surrounds himself with info
I have heard it before but it excites me you learn to not be buzzkill 😅 maybe
I want both essays😭😂 "On Being Round"-Neil Tyson and "On Being On the Ground"-Mike Tyson🤣
When I was 10 years old, I was very interested in Cosmology and spent a lot of time thinking about it. One afternoon I was standing in my mothers kitchen and I noticed some drops of water on the kitchen bench. I wondered to myself, what if everything we knew about existed inside one of those many drops of water. I imagined each drop of water as representing a universe. Looking at the drops sepetated on the bench, I wondered about the possibility for an unlimited number of universes existing in an infinite void seperated my unimaginable distances. Now that I am 58, I enjoy hearing sceince slowly supporting the notion.
May you long live to know more about this❤

7:44 - When they say 50% chance of rain in weather models, it usually means 50% of the area (usually a county by county basis) will get rain. Aviation has drilled this into my head.
Correct….but it still holds up…..for the joke.
Funny, when I hear a meteorologist say there's a 50% chance of rain, it usually means the east valley and the sun cities areas are going to get drowned and I might be lucky enough to get spat on by a passer-by. But such is the experience living in Phoenix.
There’s something about watching chuck & Neil that just doesn’t feel wrong.
Kudos
Let's officially nominate Chuck's new word "SOTHING" as the official StarTalk geek quantum codeword meaning nothing & something all at the same time.❤😆
Is it me or Chuck sounds more and more like a real scientist for times?
No wonder, since he's been leveling up all this years with Neal AND he's pretty smart, on top of that.
chuck is still just a dumb comedian and an evil urban orangutan.
I died 10 months ago of a brain tumour, you just happen to be in the universe which I survived.. lol.
This is the most mind bending episode yet.
Also mind bending is as fast as light travels, it can't escape a black hole. Light is the fastest known* thing in the universe, yet can be reversed or trapped? And time gets warped too.
8:20 it’s not a percentage of chance with the weather. When you see the 50% that means 50% of that area will have rain or 30% and so on
Don't try to outsmart an astrophysicist 😂
It's the same thing if you think about it
Was looking for this comment
Fantastic explaination... This stuff is fun to think about...
I'm so glad there is a 2nd Startalk channel. Psyched! Subscribed
Omgosh I hadn’t even noticed it was a different one
Oxford Dictionary, special request to add “sothing” to the English language
It would be soothing, wouldn't it?
the topics aside, really nice editing, especially at around 6:15 or so 🙏🏻🌌
glad i started watching, not just listening! 🙂 x
The background music is fire!
This episode is soo good, Chuck was on point too.
Cheers From your newest subscriber from California 😎 (startalk sent me)
3:42 - Chuck: "Say my name!"
This is something I think about often when I consider the notion of infinity and absolute opposites. Existence and Oblivion, 1's and 0's, Is and Is Not. I wish I was a part of this conversation to exchange thoughts with you two.
50% chance of rain means that the entire coverage area will or will not be rained on depending on slight but uncontrolable and unpredictable flucuations in the local atmosphere. Mostly its about the weight and spread of the water in the clouds and cloud coverage.
When the weight is over a certain limit and cloud cover is complete, the atmospheric flucuations will have minimal effect and the rain will push through. Thats 100 % coverage in the whole specific area. Even when you have 100% there are differences in the amount of water that falls in any specific spot. Who knows? Maybe one day they will be able to say, "it's going to rain everywhere except over NDT's house!"
but how come Neil doesnt understand that.😔
What if our dreams that we don't understand are a conscious connection between the other versions of us in the multiverse?
that's what i considered to be an option when i was growing up but the more i learned about the human subconscious and some of the impossible dreams i have had then i soon learned this isn't the case. Nice thought though :) plus ever since i was about 21 and heavily into science i strongly disagree with the possibility of a multiverse correlating with the other universes. For me there are 2 options for considering a multiverse - option 1, there is a multiverse but they don't relate to each other but the laws of physics are always the same. option 2, there is 1 opposite universe as anti matter (and 2 particles being in the same place at once [quantum physics] (in this case they would correspond with each other.). Ultimately i lean more in the direction of a Universe and no others, but there could easily be others that we would never know about (as i said in the options, if there is a multiverse then i don't believe they correspond with each other as in parallel universes with infinite possibilities). Multiverse wise - i am a believer that none of them relate just like the galaxies of our universe, and all their physical laws are the same, as i strongly believe the law of physics is the way it is because that's the only way it can be, it can only be 100% the way it is because that law is the basis for reality. Have a nice day and love your scientists :)
Stop that immediately. Now my brain hurts.
There are real theories based upon that thought.
I love this thought and have even made it a part of a story I'm working on. Really crazy thought, what if this is the dream and dreams are real?
@@questioningitall6856 Not theories, hypotheses. By definition a theory needs to be tested and appear to be true.
That's a fundamental difference you need to be aware of when discussing concepts like this. When talking science and actual possibility the difference between a theory and a hypothesis is huge.
I was told that the "50% chance of rain" thing is not a statistical precision of the forecast but basically the territory's coverage of rain. So when it is 90% or rain it means 90% of the area subject to the forecast will get rain.
well that's the way the idiots think
So happy I came across this tonight 😊💯💜
As Clouds move, they are in different projected operability regions in proximity to the water cloud solutions as lightning/vicious gas held in the mantle. Their constant resonance of decay from the clouds brings fourth operability in elevation away from as well as time spent in the region for induction as it is happening constantly as the time to the mantle held cloud solutions of water in its operable form
I am loving the amount of excitement that space and cosmology offers. The things we don't know but will discover? I wish I were a theoretical physicist! I think in one of those other universes… There's a version of me who is that. ❤
The knowledge and theories we have is the human model of reality, how it works, but reality is what is real,exact, we may not understand in detail how reality is and works, but it already is in the flow of time and space
This was my favorite episode ever
I just love Niel's ability to charismatically present complex concepts in a way that everyone can appreciate and understand without using complex algorithms, theorems, philosophies or concepts. God bless.
Can relativity be an emergent feature from quantum physics?
The definition of universe: EVERYTHING. Therefore NO multiverses, just newly discovered parts of the universe.
this is a good point... i think what they were trynna get at is that a universe is everything to US. So it's possible that there could be multiverses, each functioning kinda like alternate parallel dimensions, so that out universe is OUR everything, but their universe is their everything. Think like we can't have two solar systems in the exact same place within our universe, but if there were to be a whole other universe, they could potentially be positioned the same. Your comment got me thinking though
'Sothing' is actually a great word. Do we just have to use it a lot for it to become officially recognised?
That's how it works, yes. You know what to do 😎
I love the energy between these guys.
3:10 but can logic be outside of it? Is logic maybe something fundamental beyong the universe?
What is North of the North Pole? South. It's like a Mobius Strip, once you're there you're on the other side of the there you were there to get to.
Or you could think of it like that movie Upside Down from 2012 where two Earths exist simultaneously in the same space and the people interact with each other, like in an office building some people are on the ceiling and others are on the floor, they can pass things back and forth, talk to each other etc, one Earth is poor and the other is rich, but from each Earth's perspective the other Earth is upside down and backwards.
so could these multiple universes be a result of a giant bang that causes a serious of infinite bangs and the great attractor is energy moving along to a destiny meeting point to do it all again or go back dormant until it stirs up again?
Can you explain conscience and comun experience in reality? How can tgat be connected with quantum physics
Why would other universes have any close specific relationships to ours? such as why would there be any further instances of Chuck? That would presume events down to a spectacularly minute level are replicated such as Chuck's parents meeting, and their parents meeting and so on. Would it not be more probable that there's an Earth that never got hit by the asteroid and still has dinosaurs etc.?
because of the earths torus field for your first question
I like these more relaxed ones.
If you're at the equator walking due east at the speed the Earth is traveling due east can you go any other direction other than east
5:55 hold up, I've always thought we were early to the party and it turns out its probably true. dang, I wish I had the math to go to school to learn the things Dr. Tyson knows.
We must have the best weather people here in Orlando, then, at least on the channel I watch. When they give a percentage, it means the amount of coverage of the area, not the overall chance of it happening. They can even plot the timelines accurately to within a half hour.
hint: ABC
If multiverses were formed at the beginning of the universe inception. There is no guarantee that the host speaker is created similarily and living a similar life. Each universe existed a certain amount of time to go a different timeline paths. Unless you copy paste the history of 1 universe to another not at the inception but after some time has passed.
An infinite number of universes with ever-changing properties. We cannot even say with certainty whether multiverses exist.
How do we know that the physical properties are different in every universe? Where does this idea come from?
What if all universes have the same properties?
I really love these twos. ❤
Thank Y'all
I love it when Chuck confirms that Neil is correct about something Chuck knows nothing about 4:30
i need Neil's thoughts on Netflix's the 3 body problem, i know its fiction but i'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of a super sentient computer the size of a proton being folded in to itself several times in higher dimensions which in turn expands to cover the entire globe
Ok so would ones energy go back to the universe or earth if they died or would it be like jet li movie the one would energy be dividend into the other ones
2:08 - This overlap comment make me think about the phenomena of Deja Vu. So, if there is a multiverse, wouldn't deja vu be a byproduct of conciousness overlap experienced through quantum entaglement?
Would love to see all scientists (theoretical or not) in one room . Imagine what ideas and or what would they invent / create in no time.😊
Please, does anyone knows the sound track playing in the background from 4:30 - 5:00 ?
Eye of the Tiger
@@teamloidanne443 Thanks, by whom please?
There should be no overlap if there is another universe because it was created in the same way our universe was & it is out side of our universe. If there is a connection or overlap, then it would mean some how our universe created a universe. I don't get why people think That me or you would exist in every universe or that earth would. We are not a critical component of the universe. We are only important to our planet. I don't see why anything based on me would need to exist in any other universe unless there is some connection or event that will happen in every universe. Something all universes need.
I thought about this a couple of years ago. Neil you’re catching up to me 😂
awesome my guy
If in the beginning there were no elements at the time of the big bang and the elements were fused/forged in the stars, what were the stars made of if there were no elements?
All atoms in the universe began as hydrogen.
3:40 Script guy boss: "Oh, inventing unnecessary words is tight"
If there are an infinite amount of possible realities than somewhere out there the dark ages never happened and our tech is 800 years ahead of what it is now and someone has made an invention that made it so when we dream we "touch" another universe briefly. Also I'm wicked stoned right now. Could you tell?
I like to think my odds of winning the lottery are 50/50, either I will or I won't. When people try to tell me the actual odds of winning a lottery I can hear my inner Han Solo yelling "Never tell me the odds!"
"when the universe was the size of a particle." what's the reason we are sure there must have been such a tiny universe? expansion does not se em like an enough reason to assume this? was there ever a singularity to begin with?
Also can you explain why there is entropy but yet life is the opposite to entropy?
Why would we expect the laws of physics to be different in another universe, especially if they are embedded in the same higher-dimensional space?
Because the universe does not have to follow any rules.
@@lombardo141 You answered a slightly different question. Your answer makes sense if I'd asked something about how they COULD be different, but that's not what I asked.
I am wondering why we SHOULD expect them to be different. As far as I know, there is no affirmative reason to think that they would be different other than the fact that we don't know either way.
For me, the default assumption would be that, if our universe is embedded in some higher-dimensional space, the physics of universes born within that space should be the same. Of course, there may be other mechanisms in play, but we don't know about any of those, either.
nah I think they would be the same or similar, because of the quantum easer experiment that was done in 1999,
If multiple universes were created, would they necessarily have different properties, or could each one inevitably lead to the same physics?
yes
What if our consciousness (unbound to the concepts of linear time) travels to another dimension and is alive in another version of you, every time you go to sleep?
Your consciousness leaves your body and enters another version of yourself in another dimension. You live that day with the thoughts and memories of that person, then travel again to another person. This could happen infinitely before returning to THIS body since your consciousness is not bound to the concept of time.
In one incarnation of the universe, Chuck is explaining the science to Neil.
So if the universe didn’t begin at the size of an atom, would it still be possible for a multiverse?
Always illuminating and funny
😊 no existence, to existence is outwards the 1st direction collectively 3d and = nothing + movement ect ect.
Calculate all possible directions as pos or neg as the individual scale =1d use balance to then overlap the scale=2d of directions remember a pos can be a neg and a neg a pos there is only two collective directions at this point + + = outward and - - = inward. Also, from no existence, apply cause, effect, and outcome to the directions expansion and by using time as a measure of the dimensions expansion apply time and then cause effect and outcome become future, present, past. Because existence and no existence are opposites, then there will always be balance, balance works in all directions, so apply Schroedingers cat until the 3rd dimension 😊 then a black hole kind of works inside out and outside in directionally, every overlap is the expansion rate growing in all directions. This is why I think that what you call muliverse is actually overlapping scales of dimensions and size, and then the atomic scale fits beautifully overlapping the quantum scale, making Schroedingers de javu a natural biological possibility but also remember we are a build up of the past on two overlapping collective 3d scales and your just dreaming about the outcome until you actually get there 😊 this equation I call the direction outcome can be used to do just that. On any scale of existence..... 😊Maybe😊 🖖
Found a new drinking game: every time that guy says, “Wow!”👀🥃😵
My own personal theory of why we might be the only planet at this time with life is if you calculate the time of the big bang and the life on our planet it gives a better understanding of why we maybe the only advanced life but not the 1st life on a planet. So many things had to happen right for us to be formed and evolve that other planets with life have only gotten to the micro'organism stage. Intelligent life is to curious for us not to have been knowingly visited by other life. The universe that we are in has not had enough time to continuously make intelligent life that can travel from other Solar systems. Earth is an original planet and our advanced life still has many Flaws like (Jealousy, Greed, Envy, selfishness, and uncontrollable death) that would have been solved before any other intelligent life could leave their planet. Meaning life has not yet advanced past the "Human Being"... Just because we can travel to the moon still isn't enough for our resources to go any further besides machines we build. Our universe is still to young to produce intelligence for interstellar travel. Even with a small chance their are creatures or Aliens and occurrences that are reported to have been seen, without direct actual proof their still considered "word of mouth".
In Oregon, I interpret a 50% chance of rain to mean it is going to rain half the time. I know that is not the way it is supposed to be interpreted, but that is the way I plan my wardrobe for the day. It mostly works.
Chuck! "Niceee" 😂😂
A 50% chance of rain really means 50% of the reported area will have rain. It is more a coverage than a chance.
Now if you remain stationary, there is a 50% chance you will be in the rain.
Best duo ever
Great video. Counting down the days until I start my next business. Looking forward to diving deeper into Startalk and scientists like Neil's stories. Until my quiting day: Train, Research, Fundraise...
2:46 I’m making “The question has no meaning” T-shirts. Like to pre-order
I think it goes without saying that VR is to try and simulate real life. In real life, we do not drive in chase cam or in bumper view. Thus, it goes without saying that those viewpoints would be "cheat" in real life. Imagine being able to drive in real life in chase mode. You could see more on the road. VR places us inside the car similar to real life, and thus, as in real life, we do not have the ability to change viewpoints.
When we model dice rolls, we don't assume the whole universe split 6 ways, with each universe corresponding to a different face landing up.
What we do assume is a simplification of the physics involved.
Because we don't have a physics model sophisticated enough that predicts which face will land up, we simplify the problem into 6 potential relevant outcomes.
Which is to say, I'm not convinced multiverse theory is any different than probability theory.
QM contains similar assumptions (incomplete knowledge of measurement - Heisenberg), and is similarly probabilistic.
I'm not against multiverses, I just have a different interpretation.
Multiverses may be a product of incomplete knowledge, and a useful mathematical treatment of the problem simultaneously.
In this view, science can produce theories of arbitrary theoretical complexity, even beyond the actual complexity represented by the real universe.
Perhaps we live in a universe where one has to take as input 14 billion years of history in order to predict one particle collision perfectly. This would explain the difficulties in predicting supposedly simple phenomenon.
Who's to say this maximalist theoretical approach can't also be the most accurate?
Multiverse has more to do with how "conceivability" can move a construct to the highest possible extremes than anything to do with particle physics. An *"Infinite Multiverse"* or an *"Infinite God"* are where you end up whenever you're dealing with missing data, and nothing is standing in the way of taking it to the max.
everything has a Limit. Even if the number is to big to see. True infinity is impossible. Unless your thinking of an infinite void of nothing or infinitely long time for something to exist. yet many things just can't be infinite. There are only so many types of mater & so many Laws & so many combinations. There also could be something that triggers a universe to stay stable or to start at all.
Great, now what about the branching multiverse?
Dreams could be a way are consciousness is communicating together I don't know it's a thought
a Center will Hold! ⭕
Even if there is an infinite number of universes it doesn't mean that all possible combinations of particles and/or physics constants values must exist in one or some of these universes.
We live in the midst of invisible forces whose effects alone we perceive.

What about deja vu? Is that considered intellectual connection?
Perhaps perception
When we sleep our conscience Becomes thoughts in our own minds in on thoughts another alternate multiverse Us; then when us sleeps we becomes thoughts in ours wake state...
🤔
If life is the result of organic matter produced by the functions of the universe, is life therefore not a miracle, but inevitable? If inevitable, is it also purposeful?
Multiverse: SPECULATION!!!
Particles within our universe pop into existence (in positive and negative charges that cancel each other out), therefore when our universe was the size of a particle, entire universes were popping into existence without one to cancel it out? This is confusing stuff!
I don't share this intuition. I don't believe that anything we observe about the laws of matter within the universe apply to the universe itself anymore than rules of a simulation apply to the simulation itself.
C’mon!! “Suthing” is brilliant!!!
😂chucks mike Tyson impression😂
Hell yeah there is!
Idk, what he said about beings in the multiverse not being connected or sharing somewhat of a conscience because you wouldn’t if you had a twin I don’t think really proves anything. You don’t share a conscience with your twin for the same reason you don’t share one with another sibling, they aren’t you. A multiverse would be multiple versions of you and your conscience
Can someone explain to me why some people think Chuck has two heads in another universe.
maybe we are just early to life, would be a damn shame but beautiful that we are just the beginning
Why should everything be about us in the possibility of a multiverse? Can't the multiverse exist with universes having creatures that have nothing to do with us and operate with no knowledge about us? Looks like any time the multiverse comes up we start thinking about different us in places and times not in our universe.
3D and 5D soul searching to a whole new simulation of life 👁️👁️🙏🦋
A weather forecast is made of maybe 20 separate predictions, if 10 of them suggest it will rain and 10 don’t, you get a 50% chance of rain
