Physics to God

Aaron Zimmer and Elie Feder

Physics to God is a guided journey through modern physics to discover God. We start from the fine tuning of the constants of nature, travel through the multiverse, and ultimately arrive at a compelling idea of God.

  1. EPISODE 1

    The Three Premises of Multiverse - S2:E1

    Season 2: Analyzing & Rejecting Multiverse This season will clarify the three essential elements of multiverse theory, analyze their various scientific supports, and ultimately show why the multiverse fails to be a good explanation for fine tuning, design, and order, even in scientists' own framework. Episode 1: The Three Premises of Multiverse This episode lays out the three premises any multiverse theory needs to explain fine tuning, design, and order in our universe without an intelligent cause. - The Infinite Multiverse Premise: There exists a multiverse composed of infinitely many universes.  - The Varied Multiverse Premise: In the multiverse, the constants vary from universe to universe. - The Typical Universe Premise: Of all the universes in the multiverse that contain intelligent observers, our universe is typical. Note: While Season 2 builds on Season 1: An Intelligent Cause, it can also be followed independently. Nevertheless, this episode begins by summarizing Season 1's three arguments for the existence of God.

    Naive Multiverse - S2:E6

    This is probably our favorite episode in the series. It was certainly the most fun to record. Together with the next four episodes, it contains the heart of our argument rejecting the multiverse and marks the conceptual turning point of this entire series. This episode in particular has a strange objective - to thoroughly reject a naive version of multiverse theory that no serious scientist actually believes in. While this may sound strange, this exercise is actually quite important. First of all, while no serious scientist accepts a naive multiverse, many popular presentations of the multiverse do. So it's good to see the problems with the popular, but naive, version of multiverse. And more importantly, it turns out that understanding what a naive multiverse is, and where it goes wrong, is critical for appreciating the absolute necessity of multiverse's third premise - that our universe is typical. But it should be clear that in this episode, we'll be attacking a naive version of the multiverse. While the actual multiverse theory may seem absurd, many leading scientists believe that it's a realistic possibility. The naive multiverse, on the other hand, is so completely ludicrous that no one serious can possibly believe it. At least we hope not...
