Brian Greene, PhD, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and author, spoke with Amir D. Aczel at the Museum of Science on March 2, 2011.
Today I watched and listened to the video above. It is fantastically interesting. Prof. Brian Greene is interviewed by science writer Amir D Aczel about various theories for the existence of other universes. That we might exist in a multiverse takes wonderment beyond traditional horizons!
The two men have animated discussions about mathematics and physics, experimentation and observation. Prof. Greene has a marvelous way of explaining ideas very simply...using cups of water, analogies of all kinds including... sliced bread. Imagination plays its role in visioning the multiverse!
In December 2010 I wrote about a painting I had just completed. The painting is called Multiverse.To read this previous post please click HERE

Amongst other issues, Prof. Greene and Amir Aczel discussed what an infinite universe/multiverse might be...how far would it/they extend. Discussions about infinity are always interesting and can boggle the mind somewhat. No matter where one might be in the universe/multiverse the distances of time and space, are infinite. Thinking about infinity in one universe certainly stretches the imagination, let alone infinity in a multiverse!
I recommend you listen to the video!

I am nearly finished a large painting. I will photograph it in the next few days and write a post for it. It's another ouroboros painting. Well... it is the Year of the Snake!
Cheers,
Kathryn
