I just watched a TED talk by physicist, Janna Levin:

Inspiring! Thought Provoking! And- for me- mostly Question Provoking!
On a recent trip to Kenya, on a wildlife safari, we were lucky enough to encounter eight lions resting in the sun after a recent feed of zebra. What unfolded in front of us was fascinating.
The hyenas approached and made a circle around the lions. Then the vultures came and made a circle around the lions. Everyone was waiting his or her turn. If they got a bit aggressive and made a move towards the carcass of the zebra, one of the lions would stand up and let them know it was not time yet. The hyena/s would retreat.
We passed by the same scene an hour later and there was an additional layer of complexity added. The zebras had gathered on the opposite side of the road and were stomping their feet to show their displeasure at the death of one of theirs.
It struck me that this scene was similar to the way our workplaces, communities, cities, countries and world are organized. A micro version of the macro complexity.
After watching Janna Levin’s TED Talk I wondered if the same applied to space. As the unknown becomes known, is it more of the same? Or will there be a new order?
So many questions, so few answers.....
As a coach I love the powerful question, the question that make me think/see things differently.
Can we move from our concept of a Universe to a Multiverse? Where does this take us? What new thinking do we need to survive in a Multiverse? Do we need new thinking?
I would love to hear your thoughts/questions on Multiverse. benita@coachbenita.com
