If you didn’t get a chance to see the full documentary, this part is a must – scientists trying to predict the kind of life to be found in the eleventh dimension.
Luring the audience into its world of lightning bolts, electricity, unstable atoms and more, this clip from the BBC show ‘Parallel Universes’ is full of mind-bending theories set to make your imagination run…
In much of our surrounding, one number keeps reappearing. It has been called the most beautiful number, and the “Divine Proportion” or the “Golden Ratio”. It is 1.618, and it can be found in everything – from plants to the cosmos, from our bodies to our architecture; and as the following video presents - it is even in the Bible!

The following video also talks about Phi but in more concrete terms – as being an example of perfection in nature, and one that can always be used just as successfully in creative design.
What do financial markets, branching trees, computer algorithms, and uncurling ferns have in common? Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (1170-1250), also known as Leonardo Fibonacci (source: Wikipedia).
Leonardo was the son of a wealthy Italian merchant and traveled with his father from an early age. He was also a great lover of mathematics and on one of their voyages, Leonardo discovered the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. He quickly realized the greater effectiveness of these numerals when compared to the Roman ones, and became fascinated with this discovery - travelling all around the Mediterranean in order to learn more from the leading Arab mathematicians of the time.
In the year 1202, he published the Liber Abaci (or Book of Calculation), which spread the Hindu-Arabic numeral system throughout Europe. In this mathematical manifesto, Leonardo Fibonacci also presented a series of numbers which he borrowed from Indian mathematics, a special pattern of numbers that became known as the Fibonacci numbers, and would fascinate the western world even today.

Carl Sagan was deemed the ‘people’s scientist’ as he brought the distant stars into people’s homes with his award-winning 1980 television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. He also popularized science with many books, the most famous being Cosmos (the best-selling science book ever published in English), and The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence, which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. He was also the author of Contact, a best-selling science fiction novel that was made into a movie starring Jodie Foster in 1997.
In this video, Carl Sagan describes the second, third, and fourth dimensions; or rather, the limitations of the second dimension to see the third, and the third to see the fourth, in a wonderful, witty, and most importantly – simple manner.
We are limited by our senses – what we see, taste, feel, hear, and smell… and yet, we have proof of other manifestations which we cannot sense – with radio frequencies being the best example. So, if we are not getting the entire picture, then how misleading are our perceptions, and how real is our reality?
In this video, the narrator will explain the answer as follows:
“While you watch this film, you are in truth not inside the room you assume yourself to be in; on the contrary – the room is inside you. Your seeing your body makes you think that you are inside of it, however, you must remember that your body too is an image formed inside your brain. So far, we have been speaking repeatedly of an external world, and a world of perceptions formed in our brain; the latter of which is what we see. However, since we can never really reach the external world, how can we be sure that such a world really exists? Definitely we cannot. The only reality we can cope with, is the world of perceptions we live in within our minds.”
The Holographic Universe provides a fascinating presentation of an intricate idea: that our reality is what we perceive, whereby our perception is an illusion.
“What is the physics of consciousness? We can ask that question today. What is consciousness, where does it come from? What are the origins of consciousness, what are the limits of human potential? We’re in a position to answer that now I believe, although there is certainly not a consensus in the scientific community about that yet. But with the real cutting edge knowledge, the discovery of the Unified Field, the so called Super String Field, we now understand that life is fundamentally one. At the basis of all life’s diversity, there is unity. At our basis you and I are one. And that unity on the basis of mind and matter is consciousness. Universal consciousness. So with that deep understanding that consciousness is not created by the brain, it’s not purely an outcome of molecular chemical processes of the brain, but is fundamental in nature, it’s the very core of nature, we call it the Unified Field. Now that we have that foundational understanding of what consciousness is, we can solve the mind body problem, we can see how consciousness percolates up through our physiology to become the consciousness that we experience, see; our sensory perception, all of that. So there is a relation now to link, rigorously, neuroscience with quantum physics… Now we’re just on the verge to answer those questions.

Below is the rest of the interview, with his very beautiful and eloquent explanations regarding the basis of our universe. A must see – science, in poetry.
Finally, it makes sense! A visually beautiful BBC documentary that explains the physics of our universe and its astounding new discoveries: that boundless parallel worlds exist with ours!
This 8 part youtube series concludes with the M-Theory, which has excited and tickled all the greatest physics brains from Harvard to Oxford. After all, the M Theory does stand for mystery, magic, multiverse, membranes, matrix, or the mother to the Theory of EVERYTHING!
