“There's not a single shred of evidence for the multiverse. If, in order to explain this universe, you need a theory that invents an infinite number of parallel universes - that's not a very good theory.” IfsNeedsOrderUniverseNumbersTheoryEvidenceInfiniteVery GoodParallelsMultiverseParallel Universe Author:Adam Frank
“Like most young physicists, when I was a kid enraptured with physics, I thought, "Everything can be explained by the theory of the atom!" But as I've gotten older, and I look at the world, I think there's a lot of ways in which that kind of building up from the smallest building blocks doesn't actually account for the world. As I've gotten older, I've also become sensitive to the ways - to all that is not amenable to explanation. Things that, even if you had an explanation, what good would it be?” IfsThinkingWorldWayLooksKindKidsYoungBuildingTheoryAccountsPhysicsBlockSensitiveExplanationAtomsSmallestPhysicistBuilding UpBuilding BlocksAmenable Author:Adam Frank
“Rather than make claims of final theories, perhaps we should focus on our ever-continuing dialogue with the universe. It is the dialogue that matters most, not its imagined end. It is the sacred act of inquiry wherein we gently trace the experienced outlines of an ever-greater whole. It is the dialogue that lets the brilliance of the diamond’s infinite facets shine clearly. It is the dialogue that instills within us a power and capacity that is, and always has been, saturated with meaning.” ShouldHas BeensEndsMatterWholeUniverseGreaterFocusTheoryCapacityClaimsInfiniteSacredShiningFinalsDialogueDiamondContinuingInquiryBrillianceOutlinesFacetsInstillSaturated Book:About Time: Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang Source: About Time: Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang
