A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… (👈 astrophysics, basically) Let me know what you thought of this week’s video! The size of the universe always blows my mind…
Thanks for the video. I have always wondered. Astronomers say that the universe is 13.8 billion years old. They say this because of the cosmic inflation they see amongst other things. My question is, shouldn't they say that it is AT LEAST 13.8 billion years old? We really can't make true calculations without being able to see the edge of the universe. Or is everyone saying it is at least 13.8 and I haven't been paying attention?
So when we see the light and the galaxy is older and further by the time we see it, why is it we still see it at the observing time and after? If in fact it has moved away and is also older and the light has to travel now a longer distance to reach are eyes. I think the observing of distant light is wrong because the light as you see it does not go away, you don't stop seeing it even if it has traveled further away do to expansion of the universe. Either that or the theory of expansion in the universe is wrong. MP
@It's Okay to Be Smart I always figured that since the Big Bang was a point, and in expanded pretty much in every direction, wouldn't the Universe be just spherical (or weirdly kind-of-sphericalish since some parts are spanding faster)
The sheer size and ferocity of the Flat Earth Pheonom is taking many folks, including this chap apparently, by surprise. Of course its just another round in the never-ending Young Earth Creationist battleground, but since its Biblical basis is even more tenuous than the Oct. 5, 8 o'clock in the morning in 4004 B.C. earth and possibly universe insanity, it takes a correspondingly greater amount of willful ignorance and tinfoil hattery to believe in - but we shouldn't be TOO surprised: we live in an "unpresidented" age where someone who claims to believe global warming is a conspiracy invented by the Chinese, can become one of the most powerful nutjobs in the world.
I heard that the middle of every galaxy had a special black hole called supermassives I’ve heard about andromeda because of that the supermazive is 100 times the mass of the sun
According to astrologers, we might not even experience a collision with anything from Andromeda since the amount of empty space is greater than the space that something as small as a planet takes up. It could still interfere with our solar system though if anything gets close enough to throw us off corse and we fly out of this solar system or towards the sun. If another solar system or star or even a gas giant came close enough, it wouldn't even have to touch our solar system to throw the earth out of orbit. It's still extremly sensitive, dispite the amount of empty space vs the space taken up by planets. Don't worry too much though. Our galaxies won't collide for a very long time.
I think it could be much worse when a stray solar system or even a black hole from Andromeda hit our galaxy if both galaxies are spinning in opposing directions. If both galaxies are spinning in the same direction and a black hole gets near this system, we're gonna have to find a way to stay connected to our sun while also staying in the habitable zone because the faster a "close call" flies by us, the harder it will yank on our system. If both galaxies were spinning in the same direction, the chance of collision would probably be higher but the tug gravity has on us won't have a lot of kick. We still would be in probably more danger though because if two stars or solar systems stay too close for too long, the chances of bumping into each other is pretty much 100% unless one galaxy is going much faster than other but it would have to be going probably twice the speed or more and it still can't come too close. The closer it one comes to our system, the faster it will have to pass us by but even when headed in the same direction as us, it both systems would yank on each other too hard. Sorry for how long this comment was.
The train and bridge analogy is something I will definitely use in the future. A lot of people can't wrap their head around it but that is a great way of laying it out.
The only thing missing with that analogy, is that the space between the two didn’t move, which it does in space. The stretching of that space in between us and super-distant galaxies is what makes redshift happen
Hey vsauce Michael here. but where are you? Probaly far from where i am. But what does far mean? Well according to dictionary.com far means "at, to, or by a great distance (used to indicate the extent to which one thing is distant from another)" but how far is far? Well now we run into a conundrum since the universe is potentially infinate how far is far?
Challenge for me in 2018: 1. Look up in night sky & choose just ONE star. 2. Look away for 10 seconds. 3. Look back and try to re-locate that same star again.

Great upload : - ) When I was a child... my grandfather would show me the milky way spiral arm in all its glory.... now I'm 50.... I cannot show my own Son...... there is now to much light pollution here in Cymru Wales UK where I live....No such thing anymore as a dark night... such a shame.
@@victorm9131 Thanks Victor... I live in a small village.... surrounded on all sides by mountains.... but the light from the City 20 miles away is enough to wash out the stars... I hope there are still places left in Cymru Wales UK where I can see the night as it was before all the light pollution....but you'd have to be about 50 years old to remember how glorious it was lol. Last time I saw the milky way properly.... was in England at toot hill observatory..... even saw andromeda..... blue...red...and orange stars.... as well as silver.... all with the naked eye... about 25 years ago.
Sam The hiking man If you have enough money for a trip to the USA, go to Nevada. It’s one of the places I know that has a lot of amazing views of the stars.
I hope you've managed to see the sky on a clear night out in a rural area with little to no light pollution at some point in your life. Living in a city you forget just how much of the universe you can see with just your eyeballs.
@@Jay-qb9gi w3ll you are actually a dumbass because if the universe was a sphere than how could you look far enough to see your back considering the fact that a sphere cant be viewed on the other side with a telescope
Quancare’s ?? ..excuse spelling, universe theory says if you look in one direction long enough then you will eventually see the back of your head, because space is curved. Lol, how weird.
I got to wondering the other day, what is the oldest light you can see with the naked eye? I tried looking it up but most websites got into some serious scientific lawyering, debating the "age" of light (when the photon was created vs when it left a star), etc. Care to take a crack at it? I assume the answer is whichever galaxy visible to the naked eye is farthest, but I could be wrong...
so tl;dr our universe is like minecraft. there's a block limit(where light is and we can actually see) and then there's the phantom chunks (where we can't actually travel or see)
It’s crazy how big the universe is(which we don’t know). It’s just fascinating to me that other life may be out there. It has to be right ? We can’t be the only source of life. Truly amazing
When I die I wanna turn into a spirit and drift across the universe for eternity. It's weird but still, I just wanna know what's out there and I want to see it all for myself.
You will, but in the eyes of God, which is the way for us to reach all the knowledge we can't now. That's why Pascal did a good affair when he bet on Heaven.
@@leonardoconstantino1540 yeah, but what if the mechanism that created life is so intricate and rare that the size of the universe is small in comparison? We are all fascinated by life of course, but the simple arrangement of molecules, atoms etc is amazing. There is a specific design to the universe which we life through. Mind blowing haha
3:17 So basically you are looking to the past? If a galaxy hasn't "fused" with another galaxy, and light came out, when it does, we only have seen the galaxy before it fused?
The light that comes from Sun takes roughly about 8 mins to reach Earth. So yes the stuff that happened on the surface of the sun was in fact 8 mins older. Same applies to other cosmic objects way out there in the universe. Let's say light from a distant star takes 100 mil years to reach Earth. That light is 100 mil years old and we are seeing stuff that happened 100 mil years ago.
Let me be the d and point out that it your dream is the furthest thing away and they want to be the men of your dream they want you as far away from them as possible... What did you do to them?
Because of this video after 2 years of not understanding , I finally understand what seeing a Galaxy from the past means ! Thank you! Brilliant breakdown!
Not true. Galaxies close enough to each other attract each other strong enough to not be torn apart by the expansion of the universe. In fact, the Milky Way will merge with Andromeda.
@@orangehatmusic225 Wrong. The rate at which the universe is expanding won't be able to completely "out speed" light speed in time before we can see more of the universe. Of course, we won't be able to see all of it, but we WILL be able to see more.
The furthest away stars and galaxies will be only visible in infrared and lower spectrum due to energy loss from traveling thousands/millions of light years.
My intuition says the universe is toroidal. It makes sense of things moving away faster the further they get, and at some point they would go beyond an horizon at the center of the side of the toroid, making them unobservable ... until we also reach the center point, which could have a bearing on where we are: still traveling to the outside center point, or maybe past it, as things ahead of us travel faster back into the center/singularity.
Hadn’t even watched the video yet and the first thing that came to mind was the scene from Serenity KAYLEE Shepherd Book said they was men that reached the edge of space. saw a vasty nothingness and just went bibbledy over it. JAYNE Hell, I been to the edge. Just looked like more space. KAYLEE: I don't know. People get awful lonely in the black It took way longer than I care to admit to find the exact quote and now i just want to watch the movie 😅
All the people I know saying that seem to be saying that just to be edgy. Because, they do have more social life than I do and don't want to hang out with me.
If the universe is shaped like a donut, then what is outside of it? See, whenever we think of an edge of the universe, there is always going to have to be something outside of it. This is why I believe that it is truly infinite.
I think it creates itself as it’s observed, so it’s only as big as we can see. We could explore in any direction forever. Also, I think it expands so fast we can never catch up to the “edge”
@@stm7810 But we as humans created all of that information to satisfy our craving for understanding the universe, when all the universe is is just a hunk of randomly assembled molocules.We think we know whats going on but no one can truely understand anything that happens or why ...
raudel oruna Yh ikr sometimes I wonder what is there at the point where it was expanding. Like if you could theoretically catch up to where it was expanding, what would that even look like. A wall? Who knows
@@harrypothai and even if its a wall..what is beyond it? i dont think.our brains are equipped for questions like these. our thoughts are too grounded in physics and to solve these questions we would have to question physics and reality as we know it.
The universe IS spacetime itself. It doesn't really make physical sense to ask what it's expanding into, since beyond the universe there's almost certainly no longer space as we know it. I imagine that the true edge of the universe (which is fundamentally unreachable since even light doesn't travel fast enough) is something like an event horizon: a boundary of causality.
well techically the furthest away from us is the center of a black hole, since it takes an infinite amount of time to get to it and therefore you'd have to cover an infinitely long distance (through space time) please correct me if im wrong
Beautiful video. I have watched every video on UA-cam regarding redshift, expansion of the universe, standard candles (cephids) etc. and this is the most succinct one I have seen. Great introduction to the size of the universe.
These distances don't make any sense, we will never be able to reach those extremely far weird places. We are just left to keep playing with imagination and creating sci-fi stories.
in a very real sense our brains mimic the larger architecture of the cosmos. We use our brains to create simulations out of the infinite potential possibilities and impossibilities of coherent reality. If in fact the universe is infinite then by imagining these places we travel across time, space, and reality to resonate with a piece of infinity. The more closely we align our journeys through the imagination with a coherent and reproducible observable reality the wider our reach and influence on our nearby reality becomes.
And also, i think it's nornal being curious about the universe and earth. I mean, it's all we have right now. I think those who are frightened/anxious about space are those who have a complex about dying. All of us don't like the idea of dying someday, but in fear of that event we forget about life.
Yeah and machines can't fly because they are heavy of course! And NO one will ever require more than 640K of memory, because like that holds everything. And no one will be able to reach beyond light speed, because they haven't been able to harness dark energy yet, so therefore this unknown means it can't happen. Wait a minute, none of that is true.

this is a giany spore game lmai
5:03 Saying that we are alone in the universe is even worse than saying that the Earth is flat.
Why?
@@JaapVersteegh because of the size of it
@@leonardoconstantino1540 yeah, but what if the mechanism that created life is so intricate and rare that the size of the universe is small in comparison?
We are all fascinated by life of course, but the simple arrangement of molecules, atoms etc is amazing. There is a specific design to the universe which we life through. Mind blowing haha

But there is no proof... any claim of life in the universe is based on faith, just like any claim of a supernatural being.
This kind of stuff makes me sad that I probably won’t be able to go see these places ever

3:17 So basically you are looking to the past? If a galaxy hasn't "fused" with another galaxy, and light came out, when it does, we only have seen the galaxy before it fused?
The light that comes from Sun takes roughly about 8 mins to reach Earth. So yes the stuff that happened on the surface of the sun was in fact 8 mins older. Same applies to other cosmic objects way out there in the universe. Let's say light from a distant star takes 100 mil years to reach Earth. That light is 100 mil years old and we are seeing stuff that happened 100 mil years ago.
Lemme be honest and answer with: My dreams.
Can I be the man of your dreams?
@@myleg3827 daaamn always so smooth
He wants to be the man of your dreams but he is more like Freddy Krueger let me right his wrong and be your man.
@@Kenxclout Even more smoooth. But true tho you never know when will Freddy visit your dreams
Let me be the d and point out that it your dream is the furthest thing away and they want to be the men of your dream they want you as far away from them as possible... What did you do to them?
What a great video! Takes crazy difficult physics and makes it engaging, digestable and interesting. Well done!!!
I'm still holding out for us to discover cybertron one day
Oh my gosh 😂😂
Shut up prime. Didnt you see the damn movie!? Cybertron comes here
Then where is it. I'm just kidding I dont like the movies
TK Prime no cybertron comes to us don’t worry!
If the universe is infinite then it must exist somewhere.
those maps with lion are probably Lannister's map.
sorry, guys. too excited for April 14 here.
for real!

Because of this video after 2 years of not understanding , I finally understand what seeing a Galaxy from the past means ! Thank you! Brilliant breakdown!
Everything we see is from past. Even my computer monitor

Every Galaxy is moving away from every other Galaxy. We will never see further away then we can right now.
Not true. Galaxies close enough to each other attract each other strong enough to not be torn apart by the expansion of the universe. In fact, the Milky Way will merge with Andromeda.
@@orangehatmusic225 Wrong.
The rate at which the universe is expanding won't be able to completely "out speed" light speed in time before we can see more of the universe.
Of course, we won't be able to see all of it, but we WILL be able to see more.
The furthest away stars and galaxies will be only visible in infrared and lower spectrum due to energy loss from traveling thousands/millions of light years.

"There Be Lions out there!"
Yup! The Leo constellation! Right between Cancer and Virgo!
My intuition says the universe is toroidal. It makes sense of things moving away faster the further they get, and at some point they would go beyond an horizon at the center of the side of the toroid, making them unobservable ... until we also reach the center point, which could have a bearing on where we are: still traveling to the outside center point, or maybe past it, as things ahead of us travel faster back into the center/singularity.

Shepherd Book said they was men that reached the edge of space. saw a vasty nothingness and just went bibbledy over it.

Hell, I been to the edge. Just looked like more space.

I love the "discover" places where people already lived
My social life is, it doesn’t even exist
kremit the frog same
All the people I know saying that seem to be saying that just to be edgy. Because, they do have more social life than I do and don't want to hang out with me.
Is this like dividing by zero?
kremit the frog nobody on the internet cares. Stop fishing for attention. It’s pathetic.
People suck either way
If the universe is shaped like a donut, then what is outside of it? See, whenever we think of an edge of the universe, there is always going to have to be something outside of it. This is why I believe that it is truly infinite.
What about the inside of the donut??
John Dcknsn the inside of a donut would probably be a large void
I think it creates itself as it’s observed, so it’s only as big as we can see. We could explore in any direction forever. Also, I think it expands so fast we can never catch up to the “edge”
Im going to buy a donut tommorow just so that I can say to my friends that I had a torus for breakfast

Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is Jacka-uh....we're gonna talk about space stuff.
But whats outside this so called Torus? Marshmellows?
It's turtles all the way down.
sprinkles, other torus's and a sleeping god known as Homer, if he ever wakes our universe and countless others will be devoured.
Sprinkles.
Other universes.
@@stm7810 But we as humans created all of that information to satisfy our craving for understanding the universe, when all the universe is is just a hunk of randomly assembled molocules.We think we know whats going on but no one can truely understand anything that happens or why ...
Your videos are outstanding. Very fun to watch!
Hey man, this episode was really farout!
You look like Johnny Knoxville went to college
Lmfaoo
Maybe Knoxville is his secret twin, separated at birth.
I just realized that we've known the Earth isn't flat for 2250 years, and there's people STILL refusing to accept that.
Delving further into what's farther.
5:39 Homer Simpson is a genius. He told Stephen Hawking about the donut shaped universe!
Nice sound on the video. I'm watching on my S4 tab and the 3D effect is great.
People knew about Antarctica long before the 1820's
they keep saying that the universe is expanding...BUT...what is it expanding into?? 🤔
raudel oruna Yh ikr sometimes I wonder what is there at the point where it was expanding. Like if you could theoretically catch up to where it was expanding, what would that even look like. A wall? Who knows
@@harrypothai and even if its a wall..what is beyond it? i dont think.our brains are equipped for questions like these. our thoughts are too grounded in physics and to solve these questions we would have to question physics and reality as we know it.
The universe IS spacetime itself. It doesn't really make physical sense to ask what it's expanding into, since beyond the universe there's almost certainly no longer space as we know it. I imagine that the true edge of the universe (which is fundamentally unreachable since even light doesn't travel fast enough) is something like an event horizon: a boundary of causality.
Itself
@@michelemcdaniel6032 makes 0 sense.
well techically the furthest away from us is the center of a black hole, since it takes an infinite amount of time to get to it and therefore you'd have to cover an infinitely long distance (through space time)
please correct me if im wrong
this is johnny knoxville and welcome to pbs spacetime

OMG! The Twilight Imperium universe is really out there?
Beautiful video. I have watched every video on UA-cam regarding redshift, expansion of the universe, standard candles (cephids) etc. and this is the most succinct one I have seen. Great introduction to the size of the universe.
These distances don't make any sense, we will never be able to reach those extremely far weird places. We are just left to keep playing with imagination and creating sci-fi stories.
Yeah, but it would be good to study the behaviour of stars and other objects in order to fully predict our solar system and galaxy.
in a very real sense our brains mimic the larger architecture of the cosmos. We use our brains to create simulations out of the infinite potential possibilities and impossibilities of coherent reality. If in fact the universe is infinite then by imagining these places we travel across time, space, and reality to resonate with a piece of infinity.
The more closely we align our journeys through the imagination with a coherent and reproducible observable reality the wider our reach and influence on our nearby reality becomes.
And also, i think it's nornal being curious about the universe and earth. I mean, it's all we have right now. I think those who are frightened/anxious about space are those who have a complex about dying.
All of us don't like the idea of dying someday, but in fear of that event we forget about life.
Yeah and machines can't fly because they are heavy of course!
And NO one will ever require more than 640K of memory, because like that holds everything.
And no one will be able to reach beyond light speed, because they haven't been able to harness dark energy yet, so therefore this unknown means it can't happen.
Wait a minute, none of that is true.
