Gavin Bamber: Can string theory be represented by music? If so, would it be more of a monophony, classical or jazz? Would it be a complete composition or would it continue on into infinity? Jim Simon: He believes that the universe actually is finite. It's a sphere. It has a spherical geometry. And if you, you know, if you play with it, if you playing with the assumptions in the data and the statistics enough, you might be able to still accommodate the universe as being finite.
What is infinity? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Negin Farsad explore whether we are in a finite universe, the issues with infinity, string theory, and more with theoretical physicist Stephon Alexander.
