Great explanations! However, I always love when physicists, or researchers in general say "That'll never happen" or "That's impossible" while confident in the knowledge that past researchers have been wrong about that statement in MAJOR ways. Science is even based on the idea that being wrong gets us closer to the right answer. And also the irony of the video title along with the likelihood of "That's impossible" being wrong again.

@Unedited Life Of Daniel Time travel may be possible in the quantum realm. A team of physicists at the Universities of Bristol, Vienna, the Balearic Islands and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI-Vienna) has shown how quantum systems can simultaneously evolve along two opposite time arrows - both forward and backward in time. The study, published in the latest issue of Communications Physics, necessitates a rethink of how the flow of time is understood and represented in contexts where quantum laws play a crucial role.

One way of thinking of this, that I've always wondered about, is since there is no 'correct' frame of reference, isn't it equally valid to take the universes expanding frame of reference, and thus we are all shrinking? And if we are all able to be seen as shrinking, nothing physically different, just relative to the universe. Doesn't that then do away with the need to ask "what are we expanding into?"?

One of the main reasons 'big bang' is pushed so ferociously is that it has been endorsed by the vatican.. "In fact, it seems that present-day science, with one sweeping step back across millions of centuries, has succeeded in bearing witness to that primordial 'Fiat lux' (Let there be light) uttered at the moment when, along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation, while the particles of the chemical elements split and formed into millions of galaxies ... Hence, creation took place in time, therefore, there is a Creator, God exists!" (Pope Pius XII, 1951) 300 years before this, 'the church' had Giordano Bruno publicly murdered for saying that space is infinite.. You 'do the math'.. NO! Please don't! This is why the erroneous ideas of 'infinity' are used in mathematics, specifically to confuse people into a misunderstanding of what infinitude actually means.. If space is infinite, 'god' cannot be..

It is a question I've had since childhood: what does it mean to exist? What if we go back in time, back in time, back in time... it is either things got created from nothing, OR things always existed and we can go back in time indefinitely and still observe existing things. Either of these cases is mind blowing. So there must be some "problem" with our understanding of "time".

This is amazing to me because just recently my son and I had this discussion. It was a simpler discussion because my son is only 8YO, and I’m something of a simpleton myself. Anyway, I explained it like this. When I think of the universe, I assume it to be EVERYTHING, in other words all the multiverses or exoverses, or whatever the latest fad science is out there. All this 3 dimensional stuff is expanding. It can’t expand if we can’t observe it happen within a context of time. So, there’s a 4th dimension involved. So, where is it expanding into? A 5th (or higher) spatial dimension. He bought it. End of story. Someday I hope he will come back to me and say, “Hey, remember when you said ….. . Well, you were wrong.

A finite universe is actually quite easy to grasp if it’s topologically closed. A sphere has a finite surface area, but it also doesn’t have an edge, it doesn’t just end. It can also expand, like inflating a balloon. That’s more along the lines of what current models of a finite expanding universe are like. It does leave the question of what it’s expanding into, but that question basically remains with an infinite universe as well, _how_ is it expanding, the fuzziness of infinity just makes it easier to accept.

Along the lines of that last bit about infinity, I had a thought some years ago that maybe infinity was the normal state of things, and the miracle was that from it, something finite manifested. And not just in an outward sense, or farther or bigger, but also inward, smaller. As if we only have touched or seen the tiniest sliver of the scale of the cosmos. Like existence as we know it is only an island of finite and measurable things, suspended in the middle of a scale which reaches to infinity in both directions. Both the infinitely large and the infinitely small.

My favourite answer to "What is it expanding into?" is "It's just making it up as it goes along." Something I like to think about is how we tend to look as far back as we can and say that at some point all of this must have been one infinitely small, infinitely dense point and we like to look as far forward as we can and say that the universe can't expand further than that. Back at the point in time we think of as the big bang there may have been people saying the exact same about what we think of as the present. At the point in time that we call the big freeze there will probably be people having the same sort of conversation. When I tell people that they tend to think negatively about the idea, feeling that there's no point in continuing to ask those questions. I prefer to take a page out of Dr. Tyson's book, I don't think it's pointless and it doesn't make me feel small, it makes me feel conected across time to the deep past and the infinite future, I find it comforting to know that thoughts and ideas and knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge are eternal and unrelenting. In my opinion it is at once both humbling and a huge privilege to be part of that eternal quest for knowing and understanding.

Science says that before the Big Bang there was nothing or what can be understood as a void... a void without form, edge, beginning or end.

To me the difference between interstellar or intergalactic space and the initial void is that the Void was absolutely empty, and beyond the Universe it still is completely empty, while the spacial Universe has atoms of atmospheric gases and possibly of other elements, plus the energy which Science calls Zero Point Energy. That tells me the Universe can eternally expand into the emptiness of the void.

So if we reverse the known motions of all the known universe, so now everything is moving together, and the farthest objects are moving faster, ( space is shrinking, the greater the space distance, the more rapid the collapse) then would not all the matter collapse to a single point? The problem with these eternal verities is the problem with infinity. Infinity is NOT a number, (any number times any number, is yet infinitely far from infinity) and science depends on numbers and relativity, or measurement. Mathematics is the language of science, and that REQUIRES measurement, and numbers and relativity locked into the time continuum of cause and effect.The arrow of time runs in one direction, and effect is proceeded by cause. There cannot be true absolutes, as science, by definitions never sees the whole, but always part of the whole. Math is the language of science, and that depends on numbers, which are self identified as relative, never absolutes.. Even the mathematical symbol of infinity is used only as a symbol of certain relative processes continuing indefinitely until interrupted, such as certain electrical feed-backs, etc... Yet science is powerless before absolutes, "capable of observing the laws of an existing and functioning cosmos, but powerless to detect the absolute, the law framer: and infinite beyond numbers creator. Yet logic DEMANDS an absolute. The existence of any THING, demands an absolute. It is NOT science to say, "everything, or "anything" came from nothing" and it is not science to say "everything, or anything always was". (Really those are two identical assertions, both in denial of ALL science) It is more logical to say everything came from an infinite all powerful first cause, that is beyond the law of cause and affect that science depends on. And regressing the "Big Bang" indeed gets to infinite energy solutions, infinite information-knowledge beyond science solutions.

That's nothing new. The cyclic universe hypothesis was long considered a probable scenario, but very unlikely given recent discoveries like the ever increasing rate of expansion of the current universe, most likely being fueled by negative gravity of space itself. As it expands more of this "dark energy" is generated, since dark energy is fixed proportional to the amount of space. The question really is whether we end with heat death or a Big Rip.

It long ago crossed over into the realm of pseudoscience, and its proponents are zealots. Side note: It appears that Doppler shift isn’t the only thing which causes redshift. Halton Arp demonstrated as much, with his catalog of pairs of highly redshifted quasars connected to far less redshifted parent galaxies. He found hundreds of such examples. So we can’t say that the universe is expanding, simply because we see redshift everywhere. Another nail in the coffin of the Big Bang.

When I took physics in the late '60s, the most popular theories concerning the universe were as follows: 1. The steady-state universe. Matter was being created in the center of the universe, pushing existing matter toward of the edge, where it just "disappeared," like water going over a waterfall. 2. The ceaselessly expanding universe that kept expanding without end, & therefore had no boundary, or else a boundary that kept growing. 3. The pulsating universe, where matter expanded until the expansion was slowed and finally stopped by gravitation, which then began to collapse toward a central point, where it reached critical mass, and caused another big bang. I thought of this model as the "chicken-heart" universe. BTW, not everything is going away from each other. The Andromeda galaxy is headed for an ultimate collision with our own, and the Hubble Telescope has captured images of many other galaxies that have collided, or are about to collide. Keep in mind that sophisticated science is in its infancy. Evolution affects not only animals, but also cosmic forces. Remember, too, that what we are now examining are MODELS, and models give the best explanation of observable phenomena, which are always subject to change.

Hence, if everything is moving away, the universe must be expanding.

"What did it expand from" is a more interesting question... If it expands, then it is definite & I believe finite. Defined in terms of the space and time it took up. So, could it really expand from infinity?... if "infinity" is define-able is it infinity any more? Big Bang holds because it caters for both the expansion theorem as well as the fact that what is expanding isn't infinite, but just infinitely defined into a singularity of space & time. The presupposed beginning of time. If so to stretch the theorem, Holds well also against the records of creation. That once there was nothing And from nothing came something, as caused by an Infinite Being outside of the definitions of space and time. So the infinity may as well have been outside the universe, as you've correctly stated But the universe itself expands not into itself, but from a finite definition into an infinite non-defined infinity, outside of space & time.

What if the only way to travel between nodes was along the ever expanding elastic.

In relativity time doesn't require change-- it's just a dimension. You could have a spacetime in which nothing changed. It so happens that everything in the universe has a very steep entropy gradient (because the BB has such low entropy) which underlies the behaviour of a lot of things, including ourselves, and that's what causes everything to change all the time, and us with it, giving rise to the experience of time. There are some speculative ideas that turn this around (Verlinde Entropic Gravity). Ofc nobody knows the answer but it is worth thinking about time from the standpoint of relativity and why that means it makes sense to think of it as an actual dimension, not just as some kind of abstraction of the idea of things changing.

Meaning, do scientists currently see the universe as bodies of matter being swept outwards, in a "current" of expanding space? Or is this viewed at the atomic level, i.e. all space is expanding fundamentally, such that even atoms themselves are moving further apart? Also, I'm curious if we've been able to identify where "center" roughly is, based on differing measurements on the speed and acceleration of distant galaxies?

Q1. The first question was answered in the video. No idea, and it's possible we'll never know, because by definition that is outside our observable universe. Q2. Definitely not in atoms or even solar systems, maybe even galaxies. There's too much gravity to hold onto the space, as it were, for it to fly apart. Otherwise, we would observe the effects in our local area. And atoms and molecules would break apart and we cease to exist. Q3: A better analogy, but still wrong, for universe expansion is the SURFACE of a balloon. Our 3D space lacks at least one dimension--time--and possibly many more. So all this universe is the skin of a balloon. As the balloon gets bigger, points move apart. Space is created, universe expands. But none of the points on the balloon is the center, it just looks that way for a creature myopically trapped on the surface, like you and me. Again, that analogy's still wrong. Curvature changes as the balloon expands, but our universe hasn't observably changed curvature.

In the eternal case there is no "after the [cold] Big Bang" that kicked off the inflationary epoch.

I've always figured that the universe is expanding because it's trying to achieve equilibrium. In other words, all the matter in the universe is trying to evenly space itself out. I think this inflationary epoch seems to align with this idea if you consider things like pressure or electrons repelling each other. The higher the pressure in an area the faster it will travel to an area of lower pressure. And with the electron idea: The closer an electron is to another electron the stronger the repelling forces between the electron are. If this, or something similar is happening with all matter in the universe then it would make sense that when it was all close together it would expand faster, then slow down as the distance between each other increases.

Well, they invite “challenges” if you want to think of yourself as a member of their club (so much so that a Doctor of Optical Physics felt he needed to start his video with a “not my field” disclaimer!) But they gloss over very real and valid questions by the everyday people they claim to want to reach. You are the opposite. Like Mr Rogers, you address the worthiness question right up front. We deserve a seat at the table. This video is a perfect example. I thought of posting this as a complaint on their pages, but then I thought, “who out there is different?”, and I decided my energy may be better spent encouraging you, instead. Also the hat is awesome.

I recently learned of Phonons (sound particles) like photons for light. Do Sound Phonons affect gravity? That would mean the "sound of the earth" makes or combines to form gravity? Separate question... Electrical field and magnetic field are X and Y axis to each other... is sound the Z axis? The combination of the three would affect and "sort" all the particles in the universe big and small. Resonant frequency travels without wires, 2 identical tuning forks resonate together.

Of other universes? 2)our universe expanding into nothing makes the most sense due to what is capable of being observed 3)how can we tell the difference between something shrinking vs it moving away when we only have our own very limited perspective? 4)is it possible that gravity is distorting our perception of things that are "further away"? If so, how do we account for that in our observations? Edit: I'm watching while drinking, but these are the questions that come to mind at the moment...

When I started programing computers, the concept of NULL was foreign to me. It was only when I learned indirect addressing did it all make sense. The fact that you could "point" to a memory location and find a value there makes sense. It's like looking out into the universe at a certain location and seeing a galaxy or maybe, you don't see anything at all because that location in space is empty. The programming equivalent is to point to a register at a specific memory location and see a value, even if that value is zero. The idea of NULL is that, even the location you're looking for is not defined yet. It's not that the location has nothing in it. It's that the location doesn't yet exist.

I think it's important that we are careful when educating others on scientific discoveries that we don't come across as dogmatic. I remember growing up loving astronomy and cosmology only to discover that much of what I was being taught was only partially true, or kinda true, or not true at all, and that our current models are just the best we have. It's a wonderful thing to tell children that we know very little about the universe and that they can become scientist one day that can help us add to this growing knowledge.

We may not be able to observe objects outside of our universe (because by inference observation is a byproduct of an electro-magnetic interraction), but that doesn't mean we won't ever be able to detect objects outside of our universe. The is always the possibility that gravity is a force that can pass between membrane universes, and if so, then gravity waves may be able to be used to detect objects outside of our universe.

I think, as humans, we try to conceptualize that everything is within a container of something else. Because of this it is impossible for us to think of infinite space because we expect it to be within something else. And even if the universe was in a container, one would then wondered what that container was in. It works the other direction as well. People kept searching for what materials were made from and things just get smaller and smaller. What is the smallest part of an atom made from? And what is that made from? We will keep scratching at the quest to find what is in the next container.

Thank you Physics Girl. Physics and Cosmology is so inspiring, but for me the most interesting are the philosophical implications of what we found since Einstein, Lorentz, Bohr Hubble, Pauli, Heisenberg etc. I was useless at Physics and Maths at school (and still am) but recently I can't stop reading and trying to learn more about these things. I was inspired by you dealing with whether the question of what the universe is expanding into and saying that it is somewhat meaningless, as this implies some external region of Spacetime? Einstein's Spacetime as we know it, we now think comes into existence primarily as a result of Inflation. But 'before' Inflation the Planck limits on Spacetime time; Planck length (ie when the universe was less than 10 -43 sec 'old') and Planck length (when the universe was less than 10-35 of a meter in 'size') surely there could have been no concept of Spacetime as we understand it, therefore no Time Zero (and as you said therefore no singularity)? Some talk of a quantum limit with loops, branes and strings, but the Planck limit is even smaller than the quantum world by a very significant amount. Somewhere I read that what seemed like a good analogy, that the universe is like the inner surface of a 4 dimensional balloon? Anyway they say a little knowledge is dangerous and this is really just a question so I'll stop there lol. But thanks again - great stuff.

Going back to my high school Newtonian physics class we were taught that an object will stay at rest util a force is applied. In the BB theory it is an initial impulse, an explosion. You would assume that all the objects in the Universe would be moving away from each other at a constant speed. But that's not what we are observing. Galaxies are accelerating away from us. Faster and faster they move seamingly breaking the speed of light. From a Newtonian perspective there would seem to be some strange force at work that we don't know about. But from an Einsteinium perspective space is expanding and taking everything along with it. We see the effects of dense objects that curve space. (Can we say compress space?) But what would cause space to expand? Does there need to be causality?
@JracoMeter
@JracoMeter Год назад
By everywhere does that mean each point expands independently, or is expansion all points at the same time? Does faster expansion from afar mean a slowing down of the expansion rate, if everything viewed from afar is an earlier period in time or is this due to scale/something else? Does time have any significance on the expansion rate? Is there a variance to this expansion rate? Is it significant to the distance in time or constant when viewed from different places? If it were a distance basis would two different points from the same radial distance (also observing from two different points too) be observed with the same expansion rate? Would two different viewing locations at the same time from the same point give the same rate (with both starting points sharing the same distance and two points having different distances)?

I really love your enthusiasm. It is one thing to have a profession, but to love it reflects through your ideology and explanations. Thank you for being you and showing us the wonders of the universe. If I were to say one word describing this video, it would be 'impressive'. On a side note, I suffer from a disease, I term, contrarianism. Being a conceptual individual, I have a need to see things with my mind's eye. I really like the raisin bread ideology, but cannot shake the thought, what if matter is shrinking into space? For instance, I can more easily see gravitational lensing if the massive object, between the viewed object, shrinks into space allowing the distant object to be seen. I know this does not fit the general interpretation of relativity, but I cannot seem to shake it. Regardless, thank you for your inspirational videos and hard work.

If everything started so close together, wouldn't gravity keep them from moving apart? or are we seeing a different response to gravitational relationships due to the force of the expansion? and does that apply to smaller areas of the universe? like our solar system for example? I assume if space is expanding, it is expanding everywhere. That would eventually extend the earths revolution around the sun and is this observable? Is the expansion based on how much space is in between? I have so many questions!

A single point of light vibrating between particle and wave state so fast that it creates another point as it solidifies into a particle state before it can become a wave “time”, thus making two points ”space”, and as they both vibrate they eventually create different frequencies of light (because one loses energy as it bounces off of the other and the other gains energy, changing the frequency that each other them vibrate) which in turn create “dimension” as they bump into each other as they change into a particle state. Each of these different frequencies create different harmonics which create different times that the switches between particle and wave states occur, therefore creating different types of matter, like each atom has a different weight, each particle has a different frequency or distortion of the space around it, giving it a perceived “weight” while inside or around particles of different frequencies. I know it’s a lot, but I wish that I could talk to someone really educated about this that could either debunk this or tell me it has some merit? Thanks! Love your work!

I look at the universe like this yes it is expanding; however, the stuff in between ( call it dark matter for lack of a better description) there are other things in it that we cannot see or detect because it resonates at a different frequency. To see it you would need a device to tune it in. I have no definition for it. Just my thought.
