Did you ever sit under the clear night sky and wonder “does it go on forever?" The size of the universe has long been a question that has puzzled scientists, philosophers, and theologians, without a clear answer… well, until now. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln leads you through what modern science can say about the size of the universe.

Check out Inside Animal Hearts and Minds: Bears That Count, Goats That Surf, and Other True Stories of Animal Intelligence and Emotion-- Book by Belinda Recio ..it has some remarkable stories all sourced to actual published research papers listed in back of book or from the scientists themselves. I hate to give away one of the more powerful examples shared but ... It concerns an orangutan who had been taught and who knew sign language and was able to make basic statements& ask simple questions. True story.. One evening the orangutan was outside with their scientist care taker and got the care taker's attention and then pointed to the Moon and then used sign language to ask:"What is that?" Poignant for several reasons not just animal intelligence but also like a time machine or window to what early humans and hominids having those or similar early questions... is almost proto science by nonhumans too..

if you could make tape measure as fast as speed of light then space would be faster expanding than you could make it. If you could make it faster than expanding of the universe you might eventually see your tape measure reach you behind you and touching your back while you are rolling it forward faster than universe expanding.

No, he did mean to say that. Listen for like 30 more seconds. He's saying that, from your point of view the earth's curvature is relatively small, and so for measurements at that scale it wouldn't really matter if the earth was flat or round. You don't count the Earth's curvature into the equation, when you're using a tape measure to see if your new couch is going to fit in your living room.

Yes..to your example. The potential(?) power of our minds to place a thought question consciously and subconsciously...and then have that subject or object appear..later before us...is Amazing when first realized. I see this in creative music. As a kind of simple rudimentary analogy...a drummer who carries out a base beat with one hand or foot and then a rhythm beat with another hand...at the same time..discovering an answer. A boogie woogie pianist pulling a base rhythm from one hand..and extemporaneously counterpointing with the other hand..finding an answer in the base.

@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Год назад
Think about the boundary on a thought and you'll be on track to the answer. The universe is a thought in a mind with no conceivable limitation. Your body, the planet, galaxies, ... are an appearance in mind. Your body avatar is presented by larger mind, and animated by the apparent constrained mind which acts and believes itself separate from the whole. "Individual" mind eternally morphs from one experience-gathering form to another, contributing to the all-knowingness of the whole. Awareness itself is beyond description but approximated as ever-present, everlasting, unchanging, having no size, no shape, no materiality, no detectability, no frame of reference, no inside or outside, ... Awareness is the blank canvas upon which all experience falls and consciousness examines/reflects upon.

@@kylea1436 True enough, it can't be proven. But if the universe isn't infinite then it must have a boundary. So, what lies beyond that boundary? Something must be there; it can't just be nothingness. So, it makes sense that the universe is infinite and ever expanding. It must fill the void that lies beyond its own limits.

I just wanna say that I really love this channel. It is almost singlehandedly responsible for making me seriously consider going into physics rather than chemistry. I watch a fair bit of educational youtube and relatively few channels can make a subject sound so fascinating to make me think I’d enjoy seriously pursuing them and yet not so daunting that I think I’m not smart enough to. 3blue1brown does that for maths, NileRed does that for (applied) chemistry, and Don Lincoln and the writers behind the scenes do that for physics. If I end up one day pursuing a career in physics, I’ll cite this channel (both the answers it gave me to questions I had always had and the new questions it gave me after that) as pivotal in that decision.

And I’ve yet to meet a math course I haven’t absolutely loved, so I do still think about math. What kept me from math so far has been that real math is problem solving, but all I’ve done up til now is learn formulas and stuff, so I have no idea if I’d actually be good at real math. The other day, though, I solved a problem of my own invention all on my own using calculus, and that felt absolutely amazing. Gonna finish my associates of science in chemistry for now, and I guess I still have some choosing to do once I get to a four year school

What I've never really seen in a video about this stuff is an explanation of A) If the universe is closed off, what is it closed off from? (yeah, I know that's probably more of a philosophical question, or it's multiverses), and B) (this is what I really want explained) is that, if the universe is flat or saddle shaped, what does that mean in regards to us living in three dimensional space? In other words, we live in three dimensional space but they always use a two dimensional example to show flat or saddle-shaped space. Soooo, if space is "flat" does that mean that they're just saying that it is relatively longer than it is "thick," like were living inside a giant, long, skinny, box of space?
