His work is indeed fascinating and shows some of the great mysteries of the universe with possible explainations (though string theory is a joke), but again, I don't see how he has disproven any religion, beyond Fundamentalist Christianity that insists evolution isn't real or that we live on a Young Earth.

In short, string theory predicts that the laws of physics can take on an enormous variety of forms, and inflation can create an infinite number of pocket universes.

Nobody knows yet whether string theory matches up with the real world — the Large Hadron Collider, a particle smasher coming on line later this year, may provide some clues — but it has already inspired stunning ideas about how the universe is constructed.

Several strands of theoretical physics — quantum mechanics, string theory and cosmic inflation — seem to converge on the idea that our universe is only one among an infinite and ever - growing assemblage of disconnected bubble universes.

It was in exploring those interstitial domains that Albrecht stumbled on his clock ambiguity, which may have uncovered a fatal flaw: Even if string theory works, it is not clear how to use it to predict the kind of universe that would unfold from its rules.

During this BSA Distinguished Lecture, Andrei Linde explains how a new cosmological theory of an inflationary multiverse, which is supported by developments in string theory, would change accepted views on the origin and global structure of our universe, as well as where and how we fit in it.

In the case of intrinsic defects in space - time (e.g., cosmic strings or walls), the production of new defects as the universe expands is mathematically similar to a cosmological constant, although the value of the equation of state for the defects depends on whether the defects are strings (one - dimensional) or walls (two - dimensional).

From a spaceship on strings to guy - in - a-rubber-suit aliens, cardboard robots, Mick Jagger in leather chaps and John Travolta with dreadlocks, the worst sci - fi movies offer us a whole universe of wrong.

Cambridge, MA About Blog Research in the Department seeks to explore and explain fundamental questions that range from understanding the origin of the universe, including string theory, cosmology, and astrophysics, to understanding the visible world of colloids and the world on an ever diminishing scale, from the mesoscale to the nanoscale, condensed matter, and atomic, molecular and particle physics.
