Theoretical physicist from University of North Carolina Laura Mersini-Houghton reveals how the latest snapshots from the Planck satellite yield evidence for parallel universes.
Laura Mersini-Houghton is a cosmologist and theoretical physicist, and professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is a proponent of the multiverse hypothesis and the author of a theory for the origin of the universe that holds that our universe is one of many selected by quantum gravitational dynamics of matter and energy. Predictions of her theory have been successfully tested by astrophysical data. She argues that anomalies in the current structure of the universe are best explained as the gravitational tug exerted by other universes.
