The Universe May be Infinite
38:11 - 45:23 (07:12)
The universe may be infinite and all kinds of combinations of fundamental particles should happen at some point, provided that the laws of nature are ergodic. This concept tells us something about the laws of nature and the possibility of forming complex molecules that are necessary for life.

The constants of nature are finely tuned and if they were any different, the universe as we know it may not exist, however, physicists have proposed that there are other possible combinations that could allow for complex chemistry and even life.

This episode explores the idea that if the universe is infinite, every possible combination of fundamental particles that exist in the universe should happen at some point, as long as the laws of nature are "ergodic".

Summary
This episode explores the idea that if the universe is infinite, every possible combination of fundamental particles that exist in the universe should happen at some point, as long as the laws of nature are "ergodic". This has implications for our understanding of the laws of nature.
