Description

I describe how quantum mechanics plays a crucial role in defining probabilities (the "measure") in the multiverse, and how the eternally inflating multiverse leads to dramatic change of our view on spacetime and gravity. The latest result on the distribution of the cosmological constant is also presented. The talk is based mainly on arXiv:1104.2324 (but also arXiv:1107.3556).
