Is our universe the only universe? - Brian Greene

Is there more than one universe? In this visually rich, action-packed talk, Brian Greene shows how the unanswered questions of physics (starting with a big one: What caused the Big Bang?) have led to the theory that our own universe is just one of many in the “multiverse.”

The sound the universe makes - Janna Levin

We think of space as a silent place. But physicist Janna Levin says the universe has a soundtrack — a sonic composition that records some of the most dramatic events in outer space. (Black holes, for instance, bang on spacetime like a drum.) An accessible and mind-expanding soundwalk through the universe.

Dark Matter is not Dark Energy

Apart from sharing the adjective “dark” and for being components of the Universe, there is no similarity between dark matter and dark energy. In this video we elucidate the difference between the two, by presenting the best candidate for dark matter and dark energy, respectively.

Pi and the size of the Universe - Numberphile

Pi is famously calculated to trillions of digits - but Dr James Grime says 39 is probably enough. All our Pi videos: http://bit.ly/W4oDN1

An extra note from Dr Grime: “Since pi39 ends in 0, you may think we could use pi38 instead - which has even fewer digits. Unfortunately, the rounding errors of pi38 are ten times larger than the rounding errors of pi39 - more than a hyrdogen atom. So that extra decimal place makes a difference, even if it’s 0.”
