Physicists sometimes say that we want fundamental laws so simple that we could write them on the front of a t-shirt.

Physicists and philosophers have often observed that physics is curiously abstract.

John Archibald Wheeler, one of the great physicists of the 20th century, the teacher of Richard Feynman, the coiner of the term "black hole," he said, "I want to know how come the quantum, how come the universe, how come existence?"

So maybe physics can fill this blank, and indeed, since about the late 1960s or around 1970, physicists have purported to give a purely scientific explanation of how a universe like ours could have popped into existence out of sheer nothingness, a quantum fluctuation out of the void.

Stephen Hawking is one of these physicists, more recently Alex Vilenkin, and the whole thing has been popularized by another very fine physicist and friend of mine, Lawrence Krauss, who wrote a book called "A Universe from Nothing," and Lawrence thinks that he's given — he's a militant atheist, by the way, so he's gotten God out of the picture.

So this is a problem, believe it or not, that reflective physicists really think a lot about, and at this point they tend to go metaphysical, say, well, maybe the set of laws that describes our universe, it's just one set of laws and it describes one part of reality, but maybe every consistent set of laws describes another part of reality, and in fact all possible physical worlds really exist, they're all out there.

Now, in taking this metaphysical way out, these physicists and also philosophers are actually reaching back to a very old idea that goes back to Plato.

Now, there are some physicists who will tell you that we're actually living in the most elegant reality.

Physicists have told us for a long time that the metal of that train looks solid but really it's mostly empty space with microscopic particles zipping around.

So I'm saying something far more radical than those physicists.

This is the domain of quantum mechanics, and physicists and chemists have had a long time to try and get used to it.

Physicists and chemists have had nearly a century of trying to get used to this weirdness.

You see, this weirdness is very delicate; and we physicists work very hard to maintain it in our labs.

We hire astronomers and physicists and things like that.

Those of you who are physicists, I hear you rolling your eyes, but bear with me.

Some physicists think the space-time continuum is literally infinite, and that it contains an infinite number of so-called pocket universes with varying properties.

And some physicists think you can only un-baffle it if you imagine that huge numbers of parallel universes are being spawned every moment, and many of these universes would actually be very like the world we're in, would include multiple copies of you.

This is done by particle physicists.

Over the past century, particle physicists have been studying matter and forces at higher and higher energies.

Physicists hope that by going to even greater energies, they can see back to a time when all the forces were one and the same, which would make understanding the origins of the universe a lot easier.

The American Physical Society had this beautiful poster encouraging students of color to become physicists.

In fact, physicists at CERN have been rangling with the challenge of their ever-expanding big data for decades.

To analyze the data, physicists from around the world traveled to CERN to connect to the enormous machine.

But physicists collaborated without regard for the boundaries between sets, hence needed to access data on all of these.

To make it easy for our physicists across the world to access the ever-expanding big data stored at CERN without traveling, the networks needed to be talking with the same language.

Physicists could easily then access the terabytes of big data remotely from around the world, generate results, and write papers in their home institutes.

Physicists no longer needed to know where the information was stored in order to find it and access it on the web, an idea which caught on across the world and has transformed the way we communicate in our daily lives.

Physicists know the rest of the universe, 95% of it, as the dark universe, made of dark matter and dark energy.

On July 4, 2012, physicists at CERN announced to the world that they'd spotted a new fundamental particle being created at the violent collisions at the LHC: the Higgs boson.

Now, if you followed the news at the time, you'll have seen a lot of physicists getting very excited indeed, and you'd be forgiven for thinking we get that way every time we discover a new particle.
