Modern physics grapples with some of humankind’s biggest questions: ‘Why is the universe the way it is? And why are we here, able to ask the question?’ In their search for answers, leading physicists have been considering some wild ideas, including the existence of multiple universes (the ‘multiverse’) and the possibility that we may actually be living in a black hole. I will explain the physics behind these wild ideas, describe how they might answer our biggest questions, and lay out the prospects for finding observational evidence to support or refute them. ]]>

My experiences as a physics teacher have provided me with a keen awareness of the complex, high-pressure environment of classroom teaching. This is something that I treasure as I work to increase the communication between teachers and education researchers. The field of education as a whole is not afforded an appropriate level of respect within academia and the general public. Educational research has made fewer advances than other sciences in part because it is so darn hard! Right now is an especially exciting time as the science of complex dynamic systems provi... http://thegrandperspective.blogspot.com https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/2016-11-28physicsseminardoweliveinablackholefinal-161130003329-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/do-we-live-in-a-black-hole-modern-conceptions-of-the-multiverse/69659616 Do We Live in a Black ... https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/conlin858mpresentation-12659333745461-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/conlin-858-m-presentation/3142108 Conlin 858 M Presentation
