Why is the Universe Breathtaking? | Episode 702 | Closer To Truth 

Possibly the finest channel on YT.

I love and appreciate this channel and the work of its crew and guests immensely

Immanuel Kant: “Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.”

The guy at the end made me feel good and excited about life!

The Universe is Breathtaking and really scary too. To me, it is breathtaking because we have not learned all of its secrets yet. Thank you CTT.

As a human being, conceived, born, and evolved in Nature, what else could I find more breathtaking than the universe around me?

" Some say : " The more we comprehend , the less the mystery . Not me ! I daresay : " The more comprehension , the greater the mystery ." !!!

Funny, for a moment I read the title of this episode as "Why is the Universe Breathing?" What I would like to ask all those brilliant physicists who hope to build a picture of the whole from the ground up: Can you find yourself in your concepts, equations etc.? Strangely enough, the observer - the thinker who comes up with all the math - is never part of the picture -- I wonder were they hide...

Very nice, humbling. .Creepy works well..Not JUST in the scale variations of reality, but the evidence that ALL matter is just perturbations within the wave function..Explodes my miniscule mind..Thanks.

Well, certainly outer space is breathtaking.

Great segment - Really helped my understanding of Quantum mechanics. THNX

I find these interviews with scientists about actual science so much more compelling and interesting than those other ones dealing with "god" that always end up being individual attempts at rationalizing the irrational

it's all breathtaking when you simply look at it--it becomes mathematics and dull when reduced in equations. Mystery is so much more alluring than knowledge.

Great episode!

true gem information , thanks i love the videos and this series !

Freeman Dyson, I can't even: "only about three people understood it or were interested in it"))))

No, you're breathtaking

Up to Five minutes Thirty seconds, A B eautiful Q&A analogy awe inspiring provocative wonder that is our infinite universe Thank you!

...the most satisfying docs ...in our universe at least...

Roger Penrose discribes infinity by Asha's drawing. The problem is beyond, outside the circle itself. He also explains how multiple universes get created limitlessly too.

The complexor idea of ‪Seth Lloyd is very interesting and deep, and feels closer to truth. its like the multiverse is a never ending process. But doesn't some thing should limit this eternal loop. in programming a while loop can jam the program if there is no stop condition.

Thank you for changing the intro 😹👍🏼

Universe is the maximum synergy-of-synergies, being utterly unpredicted by any of its parts.

Great video

Why is the Universe breathtaking? Or awe-inspiring? Only because we humans as sentient, conscious creatures exist to observe and appreciate it. Before the existence of sentient observers, the universe was in an ultimate superposition of probability - a state of uncollapsed pre-entanglement with any conscious quantum mechanical system. In other words, we are the ones who make the universe “breathtaking” by virtue of our own existence in a “participatory universe.” Many thanks for you video contribution.

Thanks

Because consciousness is breathtaking

You can dissect and name each part of a butterfly but there is something beautiful about seeing a living butterfly flutter through the air that is missed by a scientist who studies and analyzes it by tearing it in pieces.

Our universe is so amazing so complicated

much love

One possibility for simple / fundamental explanation of universe is to use most understable theory at different levels: like quantum theory for sub-atomic, physics for atomic, chemistry for molecular, biology for nature, gravity for planetary, relativity for galactic, big bang / inflation for universe, etc.

yes!

As long as we dont understand it ,its breathtaking. 😱

And some people say all this just popped into existence?such miniscule minds😁

The universe is breath taking because we have no clue about its size; the more we discover about it, the more puzzled we are.

Because it is void of air.

This title is the most bizarre one yet!

"Why is the Universe Breathtaking?" No, you're breathtaking!

Awareness is known by awareness alone.

Does anyone know where is the place shown at 11:22?

I'm only half way in, but so far, the question being answered is; what's breathtaking about the universe? Should we infer from this tactic that knowing what's breathtaking will answer the question why? How could it?

Who’s your daddy? A Dino dodging gerbil 🤟

Is it possible to say that quantum theory applies to processes whereas classical physics applies to objects? If so, might this suggest a way to resolve the tension between the two?

There are 2 options; random processes wanted it the universe that way...or someone deliberately designed it that way... P.S. After watching the video I realized there is a third option; Frank Wolfie's one, if anyone can figure out what it is he is taking about...

Because, we like multicolored, bright lights))) We need to build a Space Elevator, my 2 minute video)

I got to 7min mark... I suspect no-one will ever mention the word breathtaking?

We need focus on more thoughts or ideas about gravity imho

Cause it so big

What creates what we see is human consciousness. Human consciousness dissolves the wave function and turns it into a particle. So the old question if a tree fell in a forest and no one was there to hear it or see it is it actually there?

Close the loop and stop looping. Reborn and be stupid, practical and move on to win-win-win (a running intelligence program that allows).

If the universe is infinite and we can only observe a small fraction of it then it follows that we are basing all our conclusions on nothing. Since any fraction of an infinity is zero.

Emmy Noether conservation of momentum energy is suitable from universe to Planck's scale by vacuum energy ch=E*L Euler-Lagrange's least action principle.

I wonder what David Finkelstein thinks about Alfred North Whitehead’s “Process and Reality?”

PAY THE BILL!

Our life change with every new discovery and each little invention, but human condition depends on great revolutions that come very rare. What do i mean by this distinction, inventions are improvements most of the times, revolution is discovery of another medium or aspect of reality we can populate with our intelligent constructs. Look at how discovery of a wheel changed human civilizations, resistance can be variable and inertia can travel over curved paths, this is the essence of a wheel. It doesn't matter what we have done with a wheel so far, important is how so many humans have thought about this physical concept and how knowledge of wheels is integrated into our way of living and thinking. Same goes for steam,than electricity and now quantum, information sciences, it's not what people discovered about them and what was engineered, important is how we understand this part of reality dimension. If we know what electricity is, we can use electricity everywhere in the universe, just like wheels carry Mars rover over surface of another planet. From perspective of revolutionary discoveries, not much of reality has been revealed to us so far, only most obvious aspects. What will be the next big thing, could be gravity waves, if what is actually moving is space time itself. If we can detect it, perhaps we can make space and time change according to our desires by some not yet invented technical means. Or will it be new James Webb telescope, if we can see unknown physical forces and chemistry acting on another worlds, perhaps we can use those principles to influence weather in our atmosphere. Or we could spot alien installations and learn how to build and thrive in vacuum of space. What i try to say is, it's not so much about invention themselves but what only certain ideas make possible for all of us. Science can work like that, it's empirical knowledge, must proceed from previously made step, can't jump and skip things leading to new dimension of understanding. So what makes big ideas possible than, if not slow progression of hierarchically structured knowledge? I have no idea, you tell me, since one of us will come up with something truly revolutionary some day by himself, derived from process of own creative imagination and independent from universal sphere of scientific knowledge, but equally real and experimentally verifiable. We know one mythological concept that can make all secrets hidden inside things revealed, it's called philosopher's stone. And it's not just a myth, it was a real revolutionary discovery that made modern science possible. But now it seems it was also our greatest blunder, since evolution of epistemological knowledge lead us from ancient Egypt and Greece straight into a dead end street of modern theoretical cosmology. Universe is not things inside other things, reality is not build from tiny bricks, this means universe did not explode into existence and will not vanish into a big rip. Imagine a dimension of energy potentials, becoming quarks and those becoming hydrogen, a substance all other elemental substances emerged from, to became a living processes. Quarks became hydrogen atoms, space expended and it expanded again once protons became complex elements. Each time stuff became more dense and complex, more empty space between them emerge from a physical process. Because gravity, since this is how we call causal events over distance, i guess. But as a philosopher this makes me think on alternative explanation of gravity, it's not a causal influence emerging from property of mass but a force of cosmic evolution, things are attracted because this is what universe want to do with atomic elements. No wonder universe leave us breathless, process of creation was never completed, universe doesn't exist in it's final form, we are a part of metamorphosis into something completely different..

7 universes moving into a multiverse which is the constantly expanding.

Big things are difficult to understand and complicated that to be something rather than nothing. To be something that is very difficult to understand. We use our intelligence to understand things, and something intelligible is easy to understand. Therefore, unintelligible things are hard to understand . Simpler wave function is a must in the future and something intelligible is easy to understand closer to the truth.

Because I have asthma?

why is the universe breathtaking? at a most basic level i would guess it's because regardless of who we are eventually it takes our breath away

We shouldn’t make the things difficult in our minds , if we can make the huge problems , smaller, then it will be easy to handle

Leo Gura needs to make an appearance on your series. This is essential.

Better question: why is the universe so hostile to life?

We often use the word 'breathtaking' but, very rarely focus on our breath A few minutes of focus on breath everyday would help us appreciate the world within us The kingdom of heaven is within you

We humans give meaning to the universe.. that is where the reality lies.. right within each one of us. This is why death is universal? Any question???

It’s breathtaking because it only exists when I’m alive.

cos there's mostly no air and it's real cold..

There is no air in space. 702 episodes and no one notice?

Cos there's no air

We reach out with our minds and wonder..... then come crashing back down to Earth and reality... with an advert for toothpaste!

The universe is also breath-giving if you think about it. 😉

"One day Newton was in his study reading when his friend came to visit him. His friend saw the model and instantly recognized what it was. As he slowly cranked the model he studied it closely. He said to Newton, "This is tremendous! Who made it?" "Nobody," Newton answered without looking up from his book. His friend turned to him with a confused look and said, "You must not have heard me. I asked, 'Who made this wonderful model?'" Looking up, Newton said with a perfectly straight face, "Nobody made it. Those balls and gears just appeared and put themselves together!" His friend, now quite upset, said, "You must think I'm a fool! Of course somebody made this! He's a genius, and I'd like to meet him!" Newton set his book aside and slowly walked across the room to his friend. As they stood in front of the model, Newton explained to his friend, "This model is just a poor imitation of our wonderful universe. You know the laws and the precise order which govern our universe. I can't seem to convince you that this model, this toy, does not have a designer or a maker. However, you have said many times that the solar system, which this model represents, 'just happened.' Now tell me, is that the logical conclusion of a scientist?"

Maybe needs some air.

Even more fundamental than physics is consciousness.

Under the beauty,theres alot of killing in the survival of the fittest.its not logical to come back again and again.its best to get out of circle of life by practising meditation to get out.🙂

There is no empty space in the universe. Everything you see as empty space is filled with dark energy that is expanding the universe and it goes through everything. It is everywhere. Isn't that what they say God is? It is also controlling the shape of the universe and planets, Or if u want, it's omnipotent omniscient and omnipresent and aren't those the qualities we attribute to God. So why can't this dark energy be intelligent?

Because there is no breathable air in it?

Our mind boggles when we look the space, if then how supreme is the one who created it. Quran 6:101 The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort, when He created all things and is Aware of all things? Quran 67:3 who created seven heavens one upon another. Thou seest not in the creation of the All-merciful any imperfection. Return thy gaze; seest thou any fissure? Quran 67:4 Then return thy gaze again, and again, and thy gaze comes back to thee dazzled, aweary.

Today, I found a poor fish, floundering and flopping all about out of water. Lost. It called itself Robert Lawrence Kuhn And refused the cool pool of true living water and all honest help.

"Why is the Universe Breathtaking?" I love this series, but this must be the most useless question ever asked in it. Luckily the question does not actually represent this episode.

If you divide infinity in half you have infinity . The universe is small . It's a hard drive filled with information. It's to weird. I'm 60 I think I have some idea what's going on but I'll be dead before long and it wont matter.

Wha is quantum so hard to understand. Take a look at your monitor, a very close look, it's made from tiny bits, glowing when charged by electricity. Those pixels are artificially made, screen doesn't move, every pixel is attached to a processor that control amount of charge making this tiny bit of material glow with distinctive color. Electric charge is refreshing and changing so fast our eyes can't see those tinny pulses of energy. Pixels are made from quantum particles, some are contained inside atoms of silica, others fills space around nucleus and can absorb and emit electric pulses. Here we must use another thought image, we can see how bunch of atomic dust assembled into a computer screen pixel get charged all at once, but we can't see how atoms vibrate in space. This bits of stuff are so tiny they can move at distance almost instantaneously, atomic distances are so short it's simply impossible to see quantum motion. Particles are even much more weird than that, but this thought model should be enough to get a better impression of idea why reality is so strange and how fast everything around us and inside us move, at all times. Difference in matter and living system is in a process, atoms of material objects can remain there forever since they just jiggle at place if no external forces are acting upon them, atoms inside a living body gets constantly replaced and exchanged with environment. There are three things at play, electricity of our thoughts, material stuff of the universe and a physical process we experience as life.

Actualities vs Realities? Just another word from so-called experts in quantum mechanics to say 'we have no clue and haven't had a clue about quantum mechanics since Einstein called it spooky... ' lol

Why would a universe that came from nothing for no reason, produce beings that are in awe of it's creation? If the universe is truly indifferent shouldn't we expect beings that are indifferent also? After all we are a part of it. The only answer I have heard is that the universe played a kind of trick on us? Our longings for a deep connectedness are flawed from conception?

well i was looking for some kind of neurological break down on why it's so breathtaking but i guess no, if theres no such thing as freewill well do somekind of MRI scan or something that would allow us understand from where this feeling comes from, the area that is responsible for, what was the role of that area in our evolution, all of this was oh wow crazy, i am in the middle and theres something small and theres something big and we can understand it is indeed very amazing and remarkable, but u didnt answer the question at all and didn't try to do it objectively rather than that you had actually asked other things.

My catchphrase would be 'we are in the middle of everything'. Religion of Islam has also mandated us to follow the middle path. Neither extremism nor liberalism. Interesting hah?

Like me if your pants at maths... You will NEVER understand space. Its not so much breath taking as much as being winded. 😂

The Universe is breathtaking because we have been created to acknowledge it! Without an intelligent mind, what point is the beauty? Without personally knowing an author we can glean the Mind of the Author! The breathtaking Universe is a Sign from its Creator! ENJOY!!.

Having to invent an infinitum of universes to explain our one universe is suspect.

"The heavens declare the Glory of God"

Somebody tell me if this guy ever interview black people! I’ve watched so many of his videos and have yet to see any black people on his show.

No more breath-taking that any other vague generalisation about what can only be imaginary.

17:01… just shave your head bro… 😂🤣🤣

Answer to title question: Subjectivity.

What else would you expect from a breathtaking God???

..........he has to smoke weed.......

That'll be the covid!

The universe is breathtaking because of the lack of oxygen

It's not breathtaking, it's just some of us think it's breathtaking. It just exists like we exist. It's just called bloody existence, it's not awesome, it's a bloody hostile place.

The universe is breathtaking because the creator is breathtaking . GOD ❤✝️👍

...because for the most part it has no air... Wut? You didn't like the cheesy pot shot? Well I didn't like the cheesy tittle!
