Media Coverage
On October 11, 2010, Laura Mersini-Houghton appeared in a BBC programme What Happened Before the Big Bang (along with Michio Kaku, Neil Turok, Andrei Linde, Roger Penrose, Lee Smolin and other notable cosmologists and physicists) where she propounded her theory of the universe as a wave function on the landscape multiverse. The programme referred to three observational tests of her theory's predictions, which makes it the only theory on the origins of our universe ever to offer predictions and have them successfully tested.
Laura Mersini-Houghton appeared in Morgan Freeman's 'Through the Wormhole' series in the 'Is There an Edge of the Universe' episode in 2011. This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2012 in the Outstanding Science and Technology Programming category. In 2010 she also appeared in the 'Parallel Universes' episode of the National Geographic Channel: Naked Science series.
Mersini-Houghton's work on multiverse theory is discussed in the epilogue of a recently published biography of Hugh Everett III.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
