>> and universe, the definition of universe? >> that's a tough one because i want to just say it's everything. but recently evidence, recent strong theoretical consideration sulgs there might be such a thing as a multiverse which is the entity out of which universes are born. so if you ask with was around before the universe, you would say there would be this throbbing, living, multiverse. possibly spawning countless, maybe even infinite other yeuferszs with slightly different laws of physics. and so let me, for the purposes of today say the universe is everything that we can receive through our detectors from here to the horizon, ours could mick horrizeon. >> what do we mean by the big bang? >> well, in my field we're really into one sill bell vocabulary, sun syllable lexicon. there are spots on the sun, we call those sun spots, okay, are you where me now. jupiter has a big red spot, we call it jupiter's big red spot. so the beginning of the universe, the wirth of space, time, energy and everything is, we call it a big bang. and

the entire universe past, present and future. interesting thing is that the laws of physics is not a given. it is not written in the sky that it had to be this way. but the laws of physics we establish in the laboratory, turned out, they apply across the universe and time. i celebrate that in a chapter called "on earth as it is in the heavens." when you apply the laws of physics discovered on earth to the universe, you are an astrophysicist. charlie: the definition of the universe? neil: that is tough because i want to say is everything, but recent evidence at -- strong theoretical conditions suggest it might be a multi-verse. this entity out of which universes are born. if you are asked what was there before the universe, you would say there was a throbbing, living multi-verse. maybe spawning countless other universes with slightly different laws of physics. for the purposes of today, let me say the universe is everything that we can receive to our detectors from here toward our cosmic horizon. charlie: what do we mean by the big

i'm sorry, the universe has some weight. they can just toss the book and will float into your lap. >> you can go to booktv.org and watch it for three hours with the author as well. you have been very patient and you are on with neil degrasse >> caller: i have a couple of questions. first, does the big bang violates the conservation energy, and could it be that we are going to have a big crunch followed by another big bang, followed by an other crunch. i would love to see you run for congress. senator sounds really good to me. >> host: why have you thought about this? do you work in a scientific field of? of?guest >> caller: i took some physics while i was in school. the big bang especially is interesting because it is almost a religious question. i think that it's still possible that you can make a case for the universe to have been here all the time forever. originally, there was something like a steady state theory that was abolished by the big bang. but it doesn't seem to preclude the idea that the universe was always here

there you have the observable universe. e are scattered throughout the landscape like cities dotting a countryside when viewed from space. the local areas of light. >> host: you've mentioned him a couple times, edwin hubpersian l. -- hubbel. who was he? >> guest: well, it's the telescope, of course, whom it was named after. he was a bit of a pompous, kind of snooty astrophysicist back in the be early part of the 20th century. he did his best work in the 1920s. he had access to the biggest telescope. so that always leaves open the question would anybody with access to the world's biggest telescope be making the world's greatest discoveries, or does it also require some kind of insight to empower you to even know what question to ask. so for him, it was probably a combination of both. but stories about him, he would wear these tweed suits and smoked a pipe and donned a partly british accent when he's from, like, from backwoods america. so, but anyhow, good thing about science, your personality is completely irrelevant to the q

and carbon is abundant across the universe. o if the flight somewhere else it is probably based on carbon that's not come its fascinating bias but is not an unjustified bias. and so the universe has been around 14 billion years. plenty of time to evolve all minutes of creatures out there, particularly microorganisms. we have no reason to not think of microorganisms as aliens. they don't have built a ship. there is just alien life on another planet. now, have we been visited? that's a different question than whether we assert that there's life elsewhere in the universe. by the way, we have people looking for life in the universe as well as not own any kind of life, but intelligent life. we tried to be clever about how we can do those experiments. on earth what the ufo community puts forth as evidence is weak on a level that in any scientific circle would be kicked out of the lab room. your things like eyewitness testimony. i'm sorry, this is not working, okay? no. i don't come if you walk into a conference and say this is true be

to imagine the universe was always there, not our universe because we had a beginning, but maybe the multiverse was there or maybe the multi verse had a beginning or maybe the multi versus is one expression of what a meta verse creates. if there is a meta verse with bubbles of multi versus and each multi versus creates universes is there anything to prevent that in principle? snow. that trajectory is not fundamentally different from thinking earth is this. we are one of eight planets. get over it. it is a demotion. we say how about the sun? of course, no, the sun is just one of another billion suns in the milky way. the milky way, just one of a hundred billion other galaxiega. we have good precedent for recognizing the universe is really bad at making things in one and that may be true even for the universe itself. i think that might have been two out of three of his questions. you were keeping notes. >> host: he asked, and you talk about this in several of your books and talks, is there a religious aspect to the big bang theory and have you ever considered running for office. >> gue
