And using this intense study of individuals, we find that it's not one particular generation that's doing better than the others, but the same individuals over time come to report relatively greater positive experience.

There are different ways to approach evolutionary medicine, and one way is to extract human DNA from ancient bones.

But this is only one half of the story.

A few months ago the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to two teams of astronomers for a discovery that has been hailed as one of the most important astronomical observations ever.

Now the idea of a multiverse is a strange one.

In part one, I'm going to describe those Nobel Prize-winning results and to highlight a profound mystery which those results revealed.

Okay, part one starts back in 1929 when the great astronomer Edwin Hubble realized that the distant galaxies were all rushing away from us, establishing that space itself is stretching, it's expanding.

But even so, there was one thing that everyone was certain of: The expansion must be slowing down.

You see, we are all used to gravity being a force that does one thing, pulls objects together.

But I promised you a mystery here in part one.

We want this number to emerge from the laws of physics, but so far no one has found a way to do that.

In this context, the laws of physics can't explain one number for the dark energy because there isn't just one number, there are many numbers.

But the point is, if the feature you're observing can and does take on a wide variety of different values across the wider landscape of reality, then thinking one explanation for a particular value is simply misguided.

So hoping that the laws of physics will explain one particular number, 93 million miles, well that is simply wrongheaded.

One key difference, of course, is we know that there are other planets out there, but so far I've only speculated on the possibility that there might be other universes.

Instead the fuel not only generated our Big Bang, but it would also generate countless other Big Bangs, each giving rise to its own separate universe with our universe becoming but one bubble in a grand cosmic bubble bath of universes.

And we find ourselves in one universe instead of another simply because it's only in our universe that the physical features, like the amount of dark energy, are right for our form of life to take hold.

One big remaining question, of course, is, could we ever confirm the existence of other universes?

Well let me describe one way that might one day happen.

And if our universe got hit by another, that collision would generate an additional subtle pattern of temperature variations across space that we might one day be able to detect.

And so exotic as this picture is, it may one day be grounded in observations, establishing the existence of other universes.

So on the one hand, it's just incredible where we've gotten, but who knows what sort of blocks we may find in the future.

What happens when people win the lottery is, one, they spend all the money and go into debt; and two, all of their friends and everyone they've ever met find them and bug them for money.

One person wrote, "When I win, I'm going to buy my own little mountain and have a little house on top."

The first way we did this was, one Vancouver morning, we went out on the campus at University of British Columbia, approached people and said, "Do you want to be in an experiment?"
