Different people respond to these discoveries in different ways. I gave a talk earlier today where one of the questions I got in the Q&A session was, ‘If there are an infinite number of universes or space goes on for an infinite distance (which it may or may not) then doesn’t that mean everything is pointless?’ I don’t think I’d reach the same conclusion, but for him a profound sense of pointlessness came from that discovery. My advice to him was, ‘Then you shouldn’t think about it very much.’ But I don’t know. The psychology is really interesting. It's not impossible, so I think there's still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously." Lambert, David (June 2, 2009).

You mentioned earlier that you started writing your book, At the Edge of Time, to update Weinberg’s book, but that it turned into something more. Can you explain a bit more about what motivated you to write it? Speaking of 1905, one comment I really liked in your book is how far we’ve come over the past century. You write, “In the first decades of the twentieth century, if you wanted to ask a question about our universe’s origin or its distant past, the only people offering answers were theologians.” Isn’t it incredible that we’ve learned so much?
