2019-09-30: How Many Universes Are There?
- 08:01: We don’t know why our universe has the particular string vacuum state that it does.
- 07:38: More than 10^500 possible vacuum states – probably a lot more.
- 08:24: All different vacuum states exist, and our universe necessarily has one that leads to life-friendly particles.

2019-08-19: What Happened Before the Big Bang?
- 03:43: Guth's idea is that there's a local minimum in potential energy that allows the inflaton field to get stuck in a false vacuum state.
- 06:17: As the universe cools, different vacuum states can appear possibly trapping the inflaton field.

2019-08-06: What Caused the Big Bang?
- 06:29: And by the way, the lowest energy state of a field is called its vacuum state.
- 08:16: ... field remains in a vacuum state that doesn't matches temperature - in the same way that water can become ...
- 08:51: ... on that other side, it sees a deeper truer minimum - perhaps the true vacuum state - and suddenly starts to lose energy again racing towards that ...
- 09:30: The inflaton field also undergoes a phase transition towards the new vacuum state.
- 08:51: ... on that other side, it sees a deeper truer minimum - perhaps the true vacuum state - and suddenly starts to lose energy again racing towards that ...

2018-03-15: Hawking Radiation
- 03:51: ... a quantum field is in a vacuum state, there's a balance between positive and negative frequency modes, which ...
- 05:21: Hawking imagined a simple quantum field tracing this path, a field that is in a perfect vacuum state before the formation of the black hole.
- 07:04: With the loss of certain fundamental modes, the vacuum state must be constructed from the remaining modes.

2018-01-24: The End of the Habitable Zone
- 11:14: The vacuum state of all fields are redefined in the vicinity of a black hole or for an accelerating observer.
- 12:38: In order for the two states to be consistent, the after vacuum state has an excess of positive energy modes.

2017-11-02: The Vacuum Catastrophe
- 01:45: However, even the lowest possible energy oscillation, the one corresponding to the absence of particles, the so-called vacuum state, has some energy.
- 01:55: ... satisfy the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the vacuum state of any fuel oscillation must be half of the tiny Planck constant times ...

2017-10-19: The Nature of Nothing
- 03:21: We call this the vacuum state of the field.
- 03:25: Inside a perfect vacuum, all of the field at all locations should be in the vacuum state, exactly zero energy at all times.
- 04:07: In a vacuum, the most likely state in that blur is the zero energy vacuum state.
