Physics to God

Aaron Zimmer and Elie Feder

Physics to God is a guided journey through modern physics to discover God. We start from the fine tuning of the constants of nature, travel through the multiverse, and ultimately arrive at a compelling idea of God.

Episode 9: Intelligent Orderer

Physics to God ·

2023/08/20

In this episode, we complete our final argument and convincingly show that the low entropy initial conditions at the big bang point directly to an intelligent cause for the order in our universe - what we’ll call an intelligent orderer. In doing so, we’ll encounter an amazing, mind-bogglingly gargantuan number. Once we explain how massive this number actually is, you’ll see how massively unlikely it is that our universe emerged by chance alone. If you have any comments or questions, join the

Episode 8: The Initial Conditions

Physics to God ·

2023/08/06

Even with the right laws and constants, it is still very unlikely that chance alone could be responsible for our complex universe. In order to get a universe like our own, the spacetime and matter that comprise it must be arranged in a very improbable state. We discuss entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, and illustrate how they shed light on the ordered initial conditions of our universe. This leads to a third, independent argument for how we know that our universe has an intelligent

Episode 7: Intelligent Designer

Physics to God ·

2023/07/23

In this episode, we move on from the fine tuning argument which focused on the quantities in the laws of nature (such as how big an electron is) and turn to the design of the qualitative laws of nature themselves (like the law of gravity that all masses attract). We present a design argument from physics and argue that the qualitative laws of physics, quantum mechanics and general relativity, exhibit clear signs of being designed. Once again, we do not argue about science, as the intelligent design

Episode 6: Physics vs. Biology

Physics to God ·

2023/07/09

This episode discusses the differences between the design argument in biology and the fine tuning argument in physics. First, we present the design argument in biology. Then, we discuss how the theory of evolution explains the apparent design of life without an intelligent cause. We explain why that solution doesn’t work in physics, and show how, even in the framework of biology, it merely pushes the design question back to the origin of life - the design of the first DNA molecule. We then discuss

Episode 5: Intelligent Fine Tuner

Physics to God ·

2023/06/25

This episode presents the climax of the fine tuning argument. Through simple analogies, it explains the definition of efficient and teleological causes, and why they are so vital for interpreting fine tuning and completing the journey from physics to God. It demonstrates how fine tuning indicates that the values of the constants were chosen by an intelligent cause, God, for the purpose of bringing about a complex universe which is full of atoms, molecules, stars, planets, and life.

Episode 4: Paradigm Shift

Physics to God ·

2023/06/11

This episode illustrates how fine tuning presents a major problem to the ordinary scientific method for explaining phenomena in our universe. Through an analogy from ethical systems, it demonstrates why a paradigm shift is needed to solve the mystery of the constants.

Episode 3: Fine Tuning

Physics to God ·

2023/05/29

In this episode, we explain fine tuning, the major clue that physicists have discovered to help solve the mystery of the constants. The idea of fine tuning is that the constants of nature are not just arbitrary numbers, but there's something special about their values. Only numbers within a certain range of values will yield a universe with atoms, molecules, planets, stars, galaxies, etc. Join the discussion on our website https://www.physicstogod.com/ or our Facebook group, Physics to God.

Episode 2: The Mystery of the Constants

Physics to God ·

2023/05/29

This episode shows how the specific values of the constants present a serious problem for the realization of physicists' dream of finding a Theory of Everything. It explains the mystery of constants, a problem which Richard Feynman called “one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics.” The mystery is that the numbers seem completely arbitrary with no seeming reason for their values. From the perspective of physics, these numbers could have taken on any value whatsoever. So how can physicists

Episode 1: The Constants of Nature

Physics to God ·

2023/05/24

The first objective of this podcast series is to clearly explain the following claim: When probing the universe at its most fundamental levels, physicists have discovered many constants of nature which present a major challenge to the pursuit of a theory of everything. To do this, we use helpful analogies to explain the idea of fundamental physics and explain the roles of fundamental particles and laws. Then, we introduce the idea of constants of nature, specific numbers which are built into the
