The Mathematical Multiverse and the Meta-Measure Problem - S2:E11

Physics to God · Aaron Zimmer and Elie Feder

Show Notes

If you thought multiverse scientists have difficulty explaining the fine tuning of the constants without God, you won't believe the trouble they have explaining away the designed laws of nature. The mathematical multiverse solution to the design of the laws is so outlandish it makes a standard multiverse look tame by comparison. It's really the ultimate multiverse theory - and it runs directly into the ultimate meta-measure problem.
