Astrophysicist on God’s Equation, Dark Matter, and the Future of Life Beyond Earth | Alex Filippenko
Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Gravitons and Multiverse Connections
This chapter explores speculative theories about gravitons from other universes impacting our own, considering the potential for inter-dimensional travel. It examines the enigmatic nature of black holes as possible gateways to alternate realities and the profound implications of these connections for our understanding of physics.
We live in a universe filled with awe and wonderment so much so that scientists of all disciplines have been exploring the world around us for hundreds of years. Although we have made great advances there is still an immeasurable gap in what there is left to discover. Alex Filippenko joins we today to share his vast knowledge as an astrophysicist that has been exploring fundamental physics, black holes, galaxies and more for over 40 years. He breaks down quantum entanglement and the expanding universe and a way that is digestible for nearly everyone.
