Abstract:
In this talk, I'll describe how ordinary spacetime might arise from quantum physics (in what's known as the holographic approach to quantum gravity), how our universe might be related to a giant wormhole, and how this picture can lead to predictions for cosmology (such as decreasing dark energy and an eventual big crunch).
