Lesson 3: Videos

Watch the following videos that give describe alternate theories to the Big Bang Theory then take Lesson 5 Video Quiz. Note, there are more videos than usual but most are 3 minutes or under.

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains the basics of

String Theory in this clip from his Floating University Series.

Watch to 1:33 (but you may find the rest of the video REALLY cool!)

Brian Greene explains Simulation Theory on Star Talk with Neil Degrasse-Tyson

5 Alternative Theories to the Big Bang:

Start watching at 3:25 and watch the explanation of the Steady State Theory (number 3).

This explanation formally describes the quasi-Steady State Model.

This video explains the idea of an Infinite Universe.

It also talks about traveling faster than the speed of light.

This is very technical- pause and rewind until it makes sense.

Cyclic (Oscillating) Universe Theory

Physicist Neil Turok explains the motivation behind the development

of the cyclic universe theory that he and Paul Steinhardt developed.

Multiverse Theory

A brief description of how the Multiverse theory could be accurate.

More on Simulation Theory.

This video is not required but HIGHLY recommended.

It may be interesting to those wanting a better

explanation of how we could be living in a computer program.

Time to take the Lesson 5 Video Quiz!
