That would make sense...a few theists and the occasional physicist think string theory (and by extension, inflation theory) is as fictional as King's "The Dark Tower" series. 😂😂😂
god and himself were playing table top football in the church pews, he snicked the universe into existence. why do you keep looking for god.? Oh, and while I'm explaining everything, we will never go to another solar system because the universe is just to damn big. so why don't we put our smartest minds into understanding our immediate bubble and work the math out to keep this "east of eden" planet alive. It will be like a Star Trek episode... we convince humanity that in order to create peace love and harmony, man will have to eliminate the human race. problem solved.
I find it astounding that there is no evidence that shows the universe does not extend forever. We are limited by what we can sense within the confines of the speed of light. In the concept of indefinite space, what we see is minuscule.
And after a very long time the universe starts to become intelligent, not throughout creation but sparks of intelligence through beings ( whatever that is) and contemplates it’s own creation which is also important to the sparks ( is)
It's not a free lunch. It had to start from something equal and opposite to it, such as all black holes coming together until two black holes remain, merge, and big bang again.
11:18 Amazing 👍🏾 basically it's like concluding all physics currently in this settle time would be impossible by naturally time traveling couldn't make nor manage to form the harmonic order seen in creation, as even the "big bang theory" models it was chaos Yet chaos never makes order
Was inflation expansion at 10 power -37 doubling size of universe 100 times uniform? Since the universe was cooling during inflation expansion, would a uniform doubling size of universe at 10 power -37 for 100 times be better explained by an external inflation stretching out the universe?
It wasn't cooling. When it doubled each time they think the inflationary material also doubled. The 100 doublings happened in a fraction of a second and then inflation stopped.
Could there have been a cosmic inflation, (perhaps from previous old universe that ripped apart or something else) present at time of singularity / tiny speck from which universe came that then caused the singularity / tiny speck to expand? Then as the singularity / tiny speck was expanding through inflation, the build up of gravity could have slowed down the inflation until the start of big bang expansion?
Would be great to have a better picture of dark energy, is it flat, sphere or other? If a sphere, how large and what happens at edge of dark energy sphere, as universe could curve at edge of possible dark energy sphere?
To say consciousness is fundamental and materialism is wrong, because we don't have an equation for consciousness ..... Is no different to saying God must've created the universe Because we don't know how else it could exist..
4 starters Dr.Goof ....if this expansive explosion of space really happened ....then explain 2 me how anything clumped together & formed into stars,planets & galaxies when the complete ULTRA force of the expansive explosion would have recoiled deep back into the guts of said"expansive explosion" and pulled the guts of said universe outward towards expansive horizon and thus not allow anything to clump together & form into things !! ...SERIOUSLY explain that 2 me Dr.Goofball ??? 🤣🤣🥱🥱🙄🙄😴😴😁😁
He is a rock star in my book. He totally changed how we understand the big bang theory. He is a professor at MIT University and got his PhD from MIT. These are the people who should have important position in our government and not the incompetent idiots who are in charge today. War is not the answer.
Why does cosmology tend to attract the ignorant so powerfully? Do you really think that since you don't have a clear impression of these vast universal dances with your dumb ape eyes and ears, that makes it totally impossible? Instead maybe consider that centuries of careful, mindful, public research and progress might have a teensy bit of merit.
I know experimentation and testable could be used to define as science, I favor the clarifying position as science is to match prediction to observation. This allows for inclusion of Astronomy and Quantum Physics, where you can’t always commit an actionable experiment, but you can compare expectation to observation. This may be a nuance of explanation or just linguistics, but Einstein largely did “thought experiments” and compared to observation, and what he did was surely Science (capital C).
Star Trek Theory That’s interesting, I can’t disagree, I think it’s a subjective perspective. I see religion as belief in that not seen/observed, I see science as that which is supportable by observation, regardless of weather it’s human initiated causation to observe the effect of or weather is naturally occurring of which we observe. But I’m entirely willing to accept your right to your instincts and opinion, but my instincts are still as I suggest. If it’s provable by observation it is not naturally religion or faith, but observation of the natural world is science.
Chumbis this is a major philosophical question. The problem is that math, which is the basis of science in so many ways, can explain, and predict reality. However. We have come to the point where this math is predicting a reality that we may not be able to test. If so is the math science, or philosophy? Inflation seems nonsensical to some, but a perfect explanation to others. Those are physicists. As with many other areas of science (and religion, etc,), there are disagreements. The centuries you speak of, are to a great extent, irrelevant. It only been since the mid 1800’s that work with true scientific meaning began.
I feel so sorry for these guys. You can see how far from the creator they’ve gone. They constantly refer to their ideas as amazing, fantastical, but neglect to see that God is the source of it all. What fool would bite the hand that feeds them?
Why does the Big Bang have to be inflationary, why is acceleration needed? Why can't it just be an explosion of a ball of matter-energy in pre-existing 3D space and 1D time, with the energy of the explosion, and thus the speed of ejected matter-energy decreasing over the duration of the explosion... That is, all ejected matter retains its initial velocity due to coservation of momemtum in a vacuum but the initial speed of ejected matter is slower longer into the explosion... How long the explosion took is irrelevant.... This forms an ever widening sphere of material with an also growing, empty core.. The empty core grows slowly while the surface of the sphere, the outer edge of the universe grows quickly... The universe is thus getting thicker and thicker as it progresses and wherever you look things will be moving away from each other because the universe is both expanding radially, and at a faster rate the further out it is. Gravity is overcome in the forwards-backward direction from the explosion source, but not sideways with matter-energy exploded at the same time as it. This pulls matter-energy into filaments and if they haven't already, quarks and electrons form... Gravity swirls regions of filaments into solar systems and galaxies..
Because it is incorrect. Where would the force come from for the propulsion of all that space/time? And what would the force look like? Fundamental first principals would not like such a force this large.
Wouldn't it make more sense if the universe had limited energy but inflationary theory of energy is till true. Energy is quantifiable and qualitative. Energy is moving away to become life. Origin of Complex life and organisms by reducing possible conflicts between cultures of aliens that evolve or die because of chaos. Diversity of genetics is intelligence. Thus, all races in one skin is the most evolved human because it is not inbreed.
Why should one care if the universe is infinitely inflationary, all nature suggests systems of highly evolved organization. These Artificial Intelligence or emerging intelligence develop slowly over time and get incorporated back into programmable matter to be passed down to the next generation. The ultimate singularity collapses because of scarcity of life and life's mission is to spread and flourish like a flower. Flower is pretty because it doesn't last but a new better flower arises.
@@jareknowak8712 It’s a generalization because for anybody to think they can just answer the questions of the universe like infinity and eternity are full of themselves.
@@johnjeffreys6440 Now i understand what You mean, in this case i can partially agree with You. But there is nothing wrong or unusual in having own opinion on something, every word or idea is just a representation of our "ego", and this is clear for the both sides/people in discussion. Excuse my English.
matter slows time. matter as dense as that associated with the BB would cause, what to locations not under its influence, might be 10 to the minus 37 seconds, to pass over millions of years.
BS piled higher and deeper for those who need the universe to have had a beginning no matter how preposterous. It would be a colossal waste of my time going into multitude of assumptions needed to even propose this fabrication.
Inflation is a very important theory because explained whay the temperature is constant in every part of the universe, but still needs to be perfected. If the energy is zero because the positive energy of expansion is neutralized by the gravity, why the gravity was not present in the first place ? Even if the inflation lasted little time, initially the energy was positive otherwise the expansion would be not possible. Gravity appeared later on and other energies appeared even later.
Dr Alan Guth is a rock star. I learned a lot about questions I have about the universe. He was able to explain very complex ideas in a way that I could follow along and understand.
After working out all the fine details of the formulation of the cosmic inflationary theory single handedly prior to 1980 (YES, single handedly, starting in 1978 while he was employed at Cornell University), he after nearly 40 years still is not recognized by the Nobel Prize committee for his extraordinary contribution!! So, what the heck does it tell you about those unprincipled Nobel Prize people, who shamelessly gave that worthless osbama guy a Peace Prize in anticipation of him having 'the ability to win two US elections in a row despite being Constitutionally illegitimate!' I realize of course that it took a lot of talent on his and his gang's part to con the American people -- bless the hearts of those America-hating illegals in the USA...
This is an incredible insight and should be shared with everyone, assuming it is almost certainly true. Edit: I meant to say an “incredibly insightful video”
I actually believe this postulation of Mr. Guth because otherwise the acceleration of inflation (expansion) can not be well explained. Indeed. The volume into which the upcoming matter (that did not exist right after the first explosion but only in form of energy, probably protomatter or particles) will later expand, has to be come into existence some time before that. And here it starts off. So, there is time needed in the first place to "blow up" a space (-bubble) to expand something into. Spacetime is growing first at an unbelievable rate (we had a singularity that is going out of balance, and the next stable state of balance it seeks for is its total expansion). And according to how this changes its state in the first conversion, it expands into a vast volume, and very quick. The volume of the entire space entity - or "the expansion" - a term that I use entirely independent from Mr. Guth (for describing not only the oberservable matter-filled "universe" itself, and just to distinguish it from this in my personal understanding and as well for allowing other potential universes to be populated into it if existing since string theory allows for it) is therefor a mindnumbing, staggering size of many sextillions of lightyears across. That is where it has arrived at the point when our actual universe started to form initially from that level of energy which allowed to form finally such thing as "matter" as we know it.
Can someone explain how this theory of inflation is possible when matter cannot go faster than the speed of light. Furthermore, as gravity is the weakest of the 4 forces, even if there was repulsive gravity, would it not be the inverse of gravity and also be weak?
Me neither. Even as a small child I thought the big bang theory was a fantastic joke. I was tought that a neutron star is the most dense of all and now they want me to believe that the universe started from a gram of matter. Right.
And only a few hundred years ago, people like him believed the earth was flat. I don’t think scientists should be allowed to get away with so much ‘may be’ ‘could be’ ‘possibly’ ‘plausibly’ garbage. Oh sorry I forgot nothing in science is absolutely true.
THEORETICAL Physicist... He writes the models. There is ways to test the Inflation Hypothesis, unfortunately we are technological still not there or refuse to fund these experiments needed to test it... It's an Hypothesis, it has to work based on math and the laws of Physics.
The more and more time passes we will figure out far more than we knew when any religion came to be. Allen’s answer and even your answer to the universe is better than what you will find made 2000 plus years ago. Just allow your self to learn what you want and not what others want you to learn
"... total energy is always conserved ..." Does Milgrom's MOND suggest that Newtonian-Einsteinian gravitational theory is slightly wrong? Google "kroupa milgrom", "mcgaugh milgrom", "sanders milgrom", "scarpa milgrom", "finzi milgrom", and "fredkin wolfram milgrom".
Religious people: I don't understand quantum mechanics or cosmology and have been indoctrinated by superstitious dogma my entire life. Therefore, I know more than Alan Guth.
These "brilliant" debaters ( lol ) can't even cite their ten commandments but understand the concept of Inflation. They have figured out the mysteries of reality without ever reading one Book - without any evidence. Because their high school dropouts or, never left the US town preacher tells them only a Christian God exists... Evidence? Pahhh... Shut up and put money in this cup ohhh and Kent Hovind is the Albert Einstein of Religion.
How can the total energy of the universe remain zero when dark energy is proportional to the size of the universe? Dark energy is thought not to follow energy conservation (because there is no symmetry of time translation).
What? Did you not listen to the video? Just because there are mysteries that need solving does not mean they have no idea. This video is about the promising future if inflationary cosmology, and I indeed think that it explains quite a lot.
Yes,there is always something which is promising...when I was at school the Big Bang Theory was so promising,then string theory etc. and now inflationary cosmology....its all just a dog chasing its tail.
You stupid shit, with better understanding of the world, the more theories will show up using the new evidence and ideas. This is how humanity moves forward. We started from the wheel now we are flying on planes. Same shit. Get off science videos if you think scientists will figure out instantly how the universe came to be. It requires not only solid proof theory but also irrefutable and repeatable experimenting.
Variation at the cosmic scale has large regions of homogeneity or voids. At the scale of galaxies there is more fluctuation and many more nested hierarchies within the region of the galaxies. As we continue to finer scales, the nesting of variation becomes denser and denser. The denser the region, the deeper the levels of description. In other words, how much information is needed to describe a particular region of space/time? The ratio of the homogeneous regions to the regions with lots of variation is very high. This is a fractal nesting of information. It is not the digital horizon that prevents Zeno's paradox, it is the dithering of self referential noise.
Truth of universe is Dr.Goofball .....physical life & universes with in each ofher ....going both ways ....both inwards & outwards ....we are all slaves 2 the atom Dr.Goof( including Super-Advanced aliens ) ...always have and always will be ....the atom rules supreme 🧐😁
