Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

We don't know very much observationally, sure.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

We can't see them.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

We don't know very much experimentally.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

So they're definitely on a very different footing from that perspective.

emanating through the walls we might be able to listen in he says and take a couple of measurements which would be quite wonderful and in that case at least there's a chance that we'd get observational evidence of the existence of these other realms and at that point i would begin to say hmm maybe there's something really to this so the physics you're doing says i can't go there i can't observe it at least for the moment all i have is my brain and my math

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

The things that you were describing need not always be the case.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

Really?

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

Yes.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

What would be the case is that the fundamental governing equations, the mathematical laws, would be the underlying architecture that governs what happens in those places.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

But environmental details can change things fairly dramatically.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

Gravities and environmental details?

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

Yes.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

That's actually something you know at some level right now, right?

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

On the moon, you could jump a lot higher than you can here.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

So if you didn't realize... But I do think that two bodies do attract each other.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

That's right.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

So there is a fundamental law of gravity that manifests itself in different ways based on the environment.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

All right, so let me say that again, or ask it again.

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

Are there fundamental laws that you think operate in all universes?

Radiolab
The Nothing Behind Everything

Yes, yes, absolutely.
