    Brian Cox: 'Multiverse' makes senseBrian Cox



    The presenter and physicist Brian Cox says he supports the idea that many universes
    can exist at the same time.The idea may sound far-fetched but the "many worlds"
    concept is the subject of serious debate among physicists.It is a particular interpretation
    of quantum mechanics - which describes the often counter-intuitive behaviour of energy
    and matter at small scales.Prof Cox made the comments during an interview with Radio
    4's The Life Scientific programme.In a famous thought experiment devised by the
    Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger, a cat sealed inside a box can be both alive and
    dead at the same time. Or any combination of different probabilities of being both dead
    and alive.

    This is at odds with most common perceptions of the way the world is. And
    Schrodinger's experiment was designed to illustrate the problems presented by one
    version of quantum mechanics known as the Copenhagen interpretation.

    This proposes that when we observe a system, we force it to make a choice. So, for
    example, when you open the box with Schrodinger's cat inside, it emerges dead or
    alive, not both.

    But Prof Cox says the many worlds idea offers a sensible alternative.

    "That there's an infinite number of universes sounds more complicated than there being
    one," Prof Cox told the programme.

    "But actually, it's a simpler version of quantum mechanics. It's quantum mechanics
    without wave function collapse... the idea that by observing something you force a
    system to make a choice."

    Accepting the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics means also having to
    accept that things can exist in several states a the same time.

    But this leads to a another question: Why do we perceive only one world, not many?

    illustrate problems with one interpretation of quantum physics

    A single digital photograph can be made from many different images superimposed on
    one another. Perhaps the single reality that we perceive is also multi-layered.

    The laws of quantum mechanics describe what happens inside the nucleus of every
    atom, right down at the level of elementary particles such as quarks, neutrinos, gluons, muons.

    The weird and wonderful world of quantum mechanics reveals that nature is at heart
    probabilistic. Nothing can be predicted with any certainty.

    "Everybody agrees about that" says Prof Cox. But where physicists don't agree is about
    how these facts should be interpreted.

    For decades, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which allows for
    only one universe, dominated particle physics.

    But Brian Cox supports the many worlds interpretation and, he believes, more and more
    physicists are now subscribing to this view.

    Brian Cox is on The Life Scientific on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday, 23rd September at 09:00 GMT.

    Symphony of Science - the Quantum World!



    Uploaded on 6 Sep 2011


    mp3: http://bit.ly/oRYyiV A musical investigation into the nature of atoms and
    subatomic particles, the jiggly things that make up everything we see. Featuring
    Morgan Freeman, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Cox, Richard Feynman, and
    Frank Close.


    Special thanks to everybody who's donated to keep the project alive and to those who helped track down the materials used in this video.

    *Please note that dark matter and dark energy are considered to make up a majority of the universe, in addition to the 12 particles and 4 forces.

    Lyrics:

    [Morgan Freeman]
    So, what are we really made of?
    Dig deep inside the atom
    and you'll find tiny particles
    Held together by invisible forces

    Everything is made up
    Of tiny packets of energy
    Born in cosmic furnaces

    [Frank Close]
    The atoms that we're made of have
    Negatively charged electrons
    Whirling around a big bulky nucleus

    [Michio Kaku]
    The Quantum Theory
    Offers a very different explanation
    Of our world

    [Brian Cox]
    The universe is made of
    Twelve particles of matter
    Four forces of nature

    That's a wonderful and significant story

    [Richard Feynman]
    Suppose that little things
    Behaved very differently
    Than anything big

    Nothing's really as it seems
    It's so wonderfully different
    Than anything big

    The world is a dynamic mess
    Of jiggling things
    It's hard to believe

    [Kaku]
    The quantum theory
    Is so strange and bizarre
    Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it

    [Cox]
    In the quantum world
    The world of particles
    Nothing is certain
    It's a world of probabilities

    (refrain)

    [Feynman]
    It's very hard to imagine
    All the crazy things
    That things really are like

    Electrons act like waves
    No they don't exactly
    They act like particles
    No they don't exactly

    [Stephen Hawking]
    We need a theory of everything
    Which is still just beyond our grasp
    We need a theory of everything, perhaps
    The ultimate triumph of science

    (refrain)

    [Feynman]
    I gotta stop somewhere
    I'll leave you something to imagine

    hi Cidersomerset thanks for this post

    My reply not directy related to your OP subject (or is it?)
    but actually relates more to the Post: Cloned People Any Example To Share?
    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...one#post877959

    In your posted vid: Professor Brian Cox Lecture on the universe


    At point 7:10 do you see anyone who looks familiar?
    Just change the hair and
    a Brian Cox clone maybe ha!
    I'm a simple easy going guy that is very upset/sad with the worlds hidden controllers!
    We need LEADERS who bat from the HEART!
    Rise up above them Dark evil doers, not within anger but with LOVE

    Brian Cock, ohh cox i mean! The most stupid guy in physics, he is just a presenter, does not really come up with anything.

    All he knows has been taught to him & he regurgitates other peoples work.

    No worthwhile theories or intelligence if his own mind.
    Who cares what this idiot says.

    The sheep follow the twisted agenda he pumps out over the media channels.

    Its good to keep up with current theories from the mainstream, even if you don't believe them.

    As he says several times in his presentation to students most theories are guess's
    and are only valid until they can think of another one. Most scientists don't really
    know whats going on in the universe. He talks about quantum physics and at our
    core everything is made up of atoms so are we really real ?

    I like his presentation of the universe from the hubble telescope and found it an
    entertaining watch....

    "Sorry" Cider, please don't take this personally...

    It is merely from my own observations that I say this...

    But anything from this ((NWO Shill)), I take with a grain of salt...



    Why???

    Because he was instrumental in ((Throwing the Wool over Everyone EyE's )) & Helped-Push the ((Global Warming - SCAM))...

    PS - Because ((They Say)) - ((Exact Science)) is...

    Quote An exact science is any field of science capable of accurate quantitative expression or precise predictions and rigorous methods of testing hypotheses, especially reproducible experiments involving quantifiable predictions and measurements. Physics and chemistry can be considered as exact sciences in this sense. Systems Biology, especially theoretical and mathematical systems biology can also be considered an exact science, as it makes heavy use of mathematical graph theory, logic, statistics and ordinary differential equations.

    PS - As George W. Bush said (("Fool Me Once"))..!!!



    PSS - I personally will ((NEVER-EVER)) give ((PAID - FOR)) Scientist's a 2nd Chance once they have been ((Caught)) sprouting ((Dis-Info))...No Way in Hell...
