Same here, it just doesn't make sense. One hypothesis is that we live in a simulation controlled by some sort of computer predicting our every move. It's called "The Simulation Hypothesis" and is both interesting and frightening.
"Double split"experiment eh? That's literally the first time I have heard of such a thing. I am however, willing to bet, that it is complete bullshit, like that "string theory" bollocks that was really popular until........
Quantum stuff DOES indeed make complete and total sense. The reason it appears weird is because we are much too big. But there are NO contradictions in quantum experiments, and information does NOT travel back in time in the delayed choice version. If you think it does, it shows you don't understand.
One thing that isn't often made clear in the double slit experiment is how the experiment is being exactly measures when 'it is' being observed and 'it isn't being observed; many such experiments claim to this miss that essential detail out when the single electron is fired. You wonder when observed if the equipment used is somehow interfering with the experiment.
I bet in millions of years time if humans are still alive they will also wish the same as you. The longer “time” goes on for, the more potential there is for there to be even more to discover and understand that right now we wouldnt even be intelligent enough to comprehend the thought of

@TurboCMinusMinus But there's no guarantee we'll ever be able to understand what we are. That is, as conscious entities. It may be that it's beyond our ability to comprehend even using generalisations and abstractions. From what we do know of the human mind, we're not even close yet. From experiments that have been carried out, it seems that even what we think of as "ourself" is mostly illusory. Our own minds, it appears, lie to us all the time. They tell us we've made conscious decisions, even when we haven't - when the decision was made automatically, by the "subconscious". Our mind will construct a narrative, after the event, that gives us the reason we made that decision, even when we (our conscious self) didn't. We have a few decent theories on what consciousness might be but, to date, they're nothing more than theories. If we can one day produce an AI that is self-aware, then we may be in with a chance but there's no guarantee that we'll be able to do that either. Either way, I suspect that what Lyall Watson said may well turn out to be true.

If we fill a balloon with everything we know about ourselves and our reality, then the walls of the balloon represents the boundary of our knowledge. The surface area of the balloon represents all of the stuff that we do not yet know. As we learn more and more and put it inside the balloon, the more the balloon and it’s surface area expands. Therefore, the more we learn about the universe, the greater the number of mysteries we will realize we still don’t know. It logically follows that we can never know everything since every single thing we come to “know” leads to more complex questions! But what a ride it will be!!!
@@dragonbane44 I dont think its useful asking questions like "what is the purpose" of the universe. These are human questions which dont relate to a non-human universe
People can argue that this is a fair but I see it as utter disappointment. The death of such life that we live in today, another time or even another place is really displeasing and I only wish the human race could live on. Now I understand many point of views as to why humans should die due to our constant ordeals we apply to our own fucking planet. I don’t get this dude, we are all on a speeding train towards death because we can’t do shit with our trash which is just... man I hate us, but I love us. We live and we die, I don’t like that. It should change but it can not. I don’t plan on dying but I must. I love you too man, I just wish everyone on our planet could get alone so we don’t have to keep fucking up. It’s sad enough we all can’t live long enough to see where our civilization ends up. Maybe dead, maybe better, we don’t know and I don’t know and I wish I could
The universe hasn’t and can’t be proven to not be able not to exist. So there’s no reason to live in that reality. If our species dies out, eventually on some new planet (or earth) there will be complex life with the same level of consciousness that can share probably most of our thoughts and experiences. Our consciousness is what makes us people so in a sense people can still live on even if our current species dies out. But I don’t want us to die out so let’s do our best to live on and survive which we’ve been pretty good at.
thy thot destroyer typing this comment for anyone and everyone to see is quite incredible. just a few decades ago we didn’t have the access to even communicate with someone on the other side of the world.

Either that, or we're just wrong about the universe. Relativity, expansion, quantum mechanics, etc. There is no guarantee we are 100% correct about almost anything on that scale, even if they fit our current understanding. Maybe the universe will stay in its current state forever, and never evaporate/die.
We are special and unique. We have looked out into the cosmos, and we do not see a reflection of ourselves anywhere that is observable to us. Whatever we are, we are unique, and we are special, from our relative perspective.

Someone once likened knowledge to a balloon. What you know is inside the balloon. What you don't know is outside the balloon. The skin of the balloon represents those things you realize you don't know. The more you know, the more you realize what you don't know. Perfect. Also, I loved Isaac Asimov's idea in one of his short stories for the end of the universe. Shortening his short story, Man has spread throughout the universe, which is dying out. The last Man asks the super computer that serves all Mankind, and which exists in hyperspace, how entropy can be reversed. The computer answers "insufficient data." But it keeps working on the problem, gathering more data. It finally has a solution, but Mankind has died out. So, the computer says "Let there be Light."

John Grygus and what is this origin of the Big Bang you say most people refuse to accept? I know with 100% certainty that the universe was brought into existence by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed are His Noodly Appendages.
TokyoRoyalty Those who scoff at the possibility of an intelligent consciousness acting as a creator or “first cause” are as willfully ignorant as Bible thumpers. While it shouldn’t be pushed on people, we just don’t know, and it’s one rather plausible theory. And no, that’s not a “floating man in the sky” (which literally nobody alive believes in); any “God” would be an unknowable being without form that exists OUTSIDE the Universe, therefore it’s intuitively impossibly to use our logic - a product of this hypothetical creation - to describe it.
Well, my theory is this: 'Time' and 'change' are equal to each other. For example, if someone could press a button to pause the world, everything would stop moving. Time would stop ticking as well. So nothing would change after this button was pressed. When you would press the 'play' button time starts to pass by, everything and everyone starts moving again, so things start to change again as well. The world before the big bang, was empty. Without a single atom. So there was nothing that could move or change. And according to my theory, since there was nothing to be moving or changing, there was also no time in the world before the big bang. And no time means that that particular world before the big bang never existed. Our brains just can't comprehend this because it thinks in time, while time doesn't really exist.
The first one remains, by far, the most mindboggling to me. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces. We know its effects. We can predict it. We use it in all kinds of equasions. Yet we don't know what it actually is. I mean, this is not some small aspect of the universe we don't yet quite understand. It's one of the four frigging fundamental forces. This never ceases to intrigue me.
About the "observation" part of the double slit experiment - when they say "observe," scientists really mean "interact with," since that's what causes the wave function to collapse.
Furthermore, the wave and particle behavior are not incompatible. The particle behavior may resolve to just ONE point, but nonetheless over great numbers its randomness statistically matches wave behavior. Including interfering with itself. And we still don't get why, or what it means.
45 years, huh? Ya got a timer going? I know what ya mean though. When i was a kid, I was SO sure that space exploration would have greatly advanced and at the very least, there would be passenger flights to space and the moon that were Simi affordable. But now, when I'm 32, Space X is just now getting that going. Meaning what i had imagined happening, likely won't happen until I'm an old doddering lady. Lol. Even so, I'm hell bent on going to space at least, before i die! If I cant explore space and have a handful of answers to the Universe, (Like what black holes and white holes really are, and what's inside or on the other side of them, if there is a other side.) I at least want to leave the Earth's atmosphere.
As for the first part, many of life's mysteries have already been solved. Agree that I, too, would like some of those which haven't been to be, yet even if they are once you and I have passed away we'll no longer remember the answers nor care to have ever received them in the first place. As to the second part, how does that work? You could have 45 years remaining, or a mere 45 seconds...
Sorry its long but, I don't know if this would work for any of you, but maybe try meditating on these questions or wonders. Your thoughts may bend and fold itself in new ways that give you a clearer and more revealing view on these ideas!! Your mind is powerful and if you let it "mindlessly" rest on these thoughts by letting your brain trail off into any thought it wants then you might come up with interesting new ideas about something you've never thought of before!! Sort of like a brainstorm!! Also when thinking of certain ideas, try and forget about the terms that are used i.e. gravity or time travel.. or even "time" but instead think of the idea of the word instead of limiting what you can imagine by already using what you know about the word "time" Reinvent the word as a different word.

I think there is no why. We just simply are, we exist, there is no reason. Intent is something a conscious being does... we may create a universe, and so you could argue that universe exists because we wanted it to, but ultimately there is no intent behind us, therefore no ultimate intent behind what we create, or what created us. It's just a possibility that is playing out and we are witness to it. It's amazing really.

I'd even go as far as to describe some of this as magical. Not supernatural magic. More the sense of awe and wonder .
I think the universe being infinite makes more sense then it just popping out of nowhere, seemingly creating everything there is out of absolutely nothing.
There was something just not what we know it as, it was an almost infinitely dense 1 Dimensional point.. we know the universe isn’t infinite because we know it was much smaller
@@SpiralSniperz an interesting statement to be sure, a testament to human ego. we are too young and know little to nothing!! An ant standing on a grain of sand and proclaiming his wisdom of the universe. A biproduct of consciences That says me and my little brain must be able to explain the universe, no other outcome is satisfying. The big bang just creates a bubble and nothing exists outside the bubble. But said bubble has a boundary so why would it need a boundary? it would need a boundary because an infinitely small being was trying to comprehend all that is was and ever shall be. This mind needs the bubble because it is incapable of comprehending how or why an infinite universe could exist. Why I would accept the infinite universe and reject the bubble universe is simply because if you create a universe that exists within a bubble you create a universe where you must accept a universe with hard borders which means you accept there is something that you can never understand!!! What exists is only what lies within the bubble and the boundaries of the bubble are just there because. The bubble exists but the fact that it has boundaries must be ignored. The infinite universe is the only possibility that says, in my musings that I accept my lack of understanding of the universe and my just now evolved brains ability to understand the universe is laughable at best. The universe is infinite and Only if the human mind could become infinite will it ever be capable of Truley understanding the universe
I’ve always thought about number 1 and came to the conclusion that the real reality exists as an infinite wave of endless possibilities. We were born with immense power that has domain over the quantum world by simply Choosing to observe something and collapsing the wave of possibilities into one of actuality or condensed matter.. fascinating stuff.
that's a real theory. quantum mechanics has no preferences as to the direction of time. one idea is entropy gives us the illusion of the arrow of time since it is easier to have more states of a system than fewer statistically. we are simply going from the less statistically probable condition of the big bang to the more probable condition of universal heat death.
That's my issue with the "rubber sheet" analogy - using gravity to "explain" gravity. We already understand that spacetime is distorted in the presence of mass. The question is, why? The answer of course is, positive energy of matter is always reflected in the negative energy of spacetime curvature. There cannot exist a phenomenon in this physical reality unless its complementary or opposite phenomenon also comes into existence. It is for this reason I often make the point that at cosmic t-0, the positive energy hyperplasma emerged along with the negative energy hyperinflating spacetime, such that the net energy of the cosmos is zero, as pointed out by S. W. Hawking.
I think that we might very well live in a simulation. The question is: what it the universe like that produced the beings that made the simulation? Is there a universe that is more easily understandable and makes more sense than ours?
I watched an excellent video on that a few months ago. The conclusion was that it was actually highly unlikely that we are in a simulation and it was based on good evidence and scientific reasoning using known facts and math. The conclusion wasn't 100% - there was still a little room for doubt but the chance that this universe was a simulation was incredibly tiny. Wish I could remember the title of the video - it was the best I've ever seen on the subject, and I've seen a lot!

Nah you got it wrong A.I. is programmed to know what it knows and only some can learn A.I. does not know everything we dont know everything so how could A.I.?
How can something that doesnt think by itself learn more than what its programmed too its like asking why doesn't a slave free himself most of the time its simply because it never ocured to him and slaves are still human beings AIs are simply code and even self learning AIs are just code made to repeat a task or multiple task again and again until it does it perfectly still its instructions were made by people so to certain degree even complex programs will never actually be trully free while deep down a slave human after multiple generations will try to taste freedom by himself
“Before the bing bang”- There really wasn’t. The “Big Bang” is a bad name since it implies that it it was some sort of explosion. However, the only way we know about this “Big Bang” is due to the expansion of the universe. Therefore, the universe at one point had to be a singularity. Therefore, everything including all physical laws and matter existed inside of this point. I don’t think there was an “outside” since the universe is everything that exists- at least to our eyes. Therefore, trying to “perceive” something that is imperceivable is sort of counterproductive.
@@nusquam2 "theories." You apparently don't know the strength of theories in the scientific community. Also, nothing in science can ever be fixed and settled.

Because if so, that would make everything we know WRONG.
radwilly1 - There are a lot of scientists who think there was a before the big bang. All we know is that the area we inhabit came from some sort of event like that. What we don't know is if that event happened inside of a previous or even still currently active universe, or something entirely different.
@@nusquam2 The word "theory" in science implies that we don't have a complete model, it has nothing to do with the certainty of individual consequences or observations in that theory. Theory in science doesn't mean the same thing as theory in colloquial language.

If the universe is a mathematical object, then we will eventually figure it out. If it’s not, then we will hit a road block and be unable to go any further.
I agree with you Carl, this is probably true; especially if the physical means to replicate the creation energy proves to be insurmountable. This is my amateur philosophical take on the subject In my opinion the mathematics of the universe is roughly [very roughly!] analogous to the syntax or grammar of human language. The existence of which depends on the capability and needs of the entity embedded in the system. Any coherent thought with regards to the mechanics and phenomena of the Universe requires internalized or expressed symbols mirroring the logic of the system. A full "mathematical" understanding of our Cosmos may require the use of mathematical concepts such as infinite systems, indefinite values and other exotic models that may only describe the aspects of our Universe that essentialy evade any analysis which may be the case with consciousness, which may be described elementaly and even logically modeled but can only be created in a physical system. As an example a Hurricane or any typical weather system can be modeled to increasing degrees of accuracy with the resultant climate emerging as one to one data points. On the other hand, a conscious system which may be a direct result of a sufficiently complex and large neural network/sensory system might only emerge only when the fundamental nature of interactions at the particle level are present. This may be true of the Universe itself. We may be able to describe the mathematics, logic and mathematical concepts involved but only be able to attribute the resultant physics of reality in a modeled system. This is obvious of course. Only when the actual system {our universe} is allowed to interact would the characteristic phenomena of our unvierse emerge [this is the reasonable inference, something like this must be demonstrated to be accepted as a theorey]. In other words, even if the Universe cannot be fully modeled, even conceptually by mathematics, we might be able retain the insight to infer the resultant model that characterizes the action of our Universe in reality. This might be in the form of a "higher" mathematics/logic science; new type of sophistry [or branch of philosophy] or a spiritually [extra-natural] based wisdom.
If creation of the big bamg is caused by spooky distant action maybe the igition can only be brought on by a very specific thing. that all of these universes out in the void are all happening one way, they only way they could, and every universe is the same. just happening at different times
math is always changing, new math is always discovered, we will figure out a lot but not everything is math. we may progress in the areas that are maths but the ones that are not maths may require different approach.

Marco Polo Do you mean the double-slit experiment? I understand it to a certain degree but I have never seen an actual demonstration of it. All we ever see are explanations and animations. I would actually like to see the experiment performed. I would like to know the actual physical tools and machinery that performs the experiment and what materials they are made of. I like to know what kind of mechanism is used for the observation. Does it consist of any electronic or magnetic part that can cause the wave duality to fluctuate? Is there some sort of biological interference? I don't comprehend all the advanced mathematics of particle physics but maybe if I actually saw this experiment performed I might be able to help figure out why a particle can be both a wave and a particle. I presume that it is somehow similar to a body of water and individual drops of water. I may be wrong but I wish I can go somewhere to see this experiment performed.
Basiclly, We don't know why electrons behave as a wave in small scales, but also act like a particle in larger scales Its theorized too be a cloud of probability, as in the Electron is never in a single place but has a higher probability to be in a certain olace, and once we observe its location,it colapses into a particle Or something like that from my understsnding

If we can one day produce an AI that is self-aware, then we may be in with a chance but there's no guarantee that we'll be able to do that either. Either way, I suspect that what Lyall Watson said may well turn out to be true.

The one thing I differ on is that I doubt that power is limited to the power of a star (That's a huge simplification but you get what I mean I hope.)

It does appear to be overly complex for a big dumb food processor
If we fill a balloon with everything we know about ourselves and our reality, then the walls of the balloon represents the boundary of our knowledge. The surface area of the balloon represents all of the stuff that we do not yet know. As we learn more and more and put it inside the balloon, the more the balloon and it’s surface area expands. Therefore, the more we learn about the universe, the greater the number of mysteries we will realize we still don’t know. It logically follows that we can never know everything since every single thing we come to “know” leads to more complex questions!
But what a ride it will be!!!

People can argue that this is a fair but I see it as utter disappointment. The death of such life that we live in today, another time or even another place is really displeasing and I only wish the human race could live on. Now I understand many point of views as to why humans should die due to our constant ordeals we apply to our own fucking planet. I don’t get this dude, we are all on a speeding train towards death because we can’t do shit with our trash which is just... man I hate us, but I love us. We live and we die, I don’t like that. It should change but it can not. I don’t plan on dying but I must. I love you too man, I just wish everyone on our planet could get alone so we don’t have to keep fucking up. It’s sad enough we all can’t live long enough to see where our civilization ends up. Maybe dead, maybe better, we don’t know and I don’t know and I wish I could
The universe hasn’t and can’t be proven to not be able not to exist. So there’s no reason to live in that reality. If our species dies out, eventually on some new planet (or earth) there will be complex life with the same level of consciousness that can share probably most of our thoughts and experiences. Our consciousness is what makes us people so in a sense people can still live on even if our current species dies out. But I don’t want us to die out so let’s do our best to live on and survive which we’ve been pretty good at.

Someone once likened knowledge to a balloon. What you know is inside the balloon. What you don't know is outside the balloon. The skin of the balloon represents those things you realize you don't know. The more you know, the more you realize what you don't know. Perfect. Also, I loved Isaac Asimov's idea in one of his short stories for the end of the universe. Shortening his short story, Man has spread throughout the universe, which is dying out. The last Man asks the super computer that serves all Mankind, and which exists in hyperspace, how entropy can be reversed. The computer answers "insufficient data." But it keeps working on the problem, gathering more data. It finally has a solution, but Mankind has died out. So, the computer says "Let there be Light."

@@deamonic456820 String theory.
TokyoRoyalty Those who scoff at the possibility of an intelligent consciousness acting as a creator or “first cause” are as willfully ignorant as Bible thumpers. While it shouldn’t be pushed on people, we just don’t know, and it’s one rather plausible theory. And no, that’s not a “floating man in the sky” (which literally nobody alive believes in); any “God” would be an unknowable being without form that exists OUTSIDE the Universe, therefore it’s intuitively impossibly to use our logic - a product of this hypothetical creation - to describe it.
Well, my theory is this:
'Time' and 'change' are equal to each other. For example, if someone could press a button to pause the world, everything would stop moving. Time would stop ticking as well. So nothing would change after this button was pressed. When you would press the 'play' button time starts to pass by, everything and everyone starts moving again, so things start to change again as well.
The world before the big bang, was empty. Without a single atom. So there was nothing that could move or change. And according to my theory, since there was nothing to be moving or changing, there was also no time in the world before the big bang. And no time means that that particular world before the big bang never existed. Our brains just can't comprehend this because it thinks in time, while time doesn't really exist.
The first one remains, by far, the most mindboggling to me. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces. We know its effects. We can predict it. We use it in all kinds of equasions. Yet we don't know what it actually is. I mean, this is not some small aspect of the universe we don't yet quite understand. It's one of the four frigging fundamental forces. This never ceases to intrigue me.
I love the Mass Effect like background music haha
About the "observation" part of the double slit experiment - when they say "observe," scientists really mean "interact with," since that's what causes the wave function to collapse.
Engine1213 not true. The experiment has been done in various ways and that has been accounted for.
Furthermore, the wave and particle behavior are not incompatible.
The particle behavior may resolve to just ONE point, but nonetheless over great numbers its randomness statistically matches wave behavior. Including interfering with itself.
And we still don't get why, or what it means.
I hope before I die that some of life's mysteries are solved so I know answers to them. 45 more years until I die.
45 years, huh? Ya got a timer going?
I know what ya mean though. When i was a kid, I was SO sure that space exploration would have greatly advanced and at the very least, there would be passenger flights to space and the moon that were Simi affordable. But now, when I'm 32, Space X is just now getting that going. Meaning what i had imagined happening, likely won't happen until I'm an old doddering lady. Lol. Even so, I'm hell bent on going to space at least, before i die! If I cant explore space and have a handful of answers to the Universe, (Like what black holes and white holes really are, and what's inside or on the other side of them, if there is a other side.) I at least want to leave the Earth's atmosphere.
As for the first part, many of life's mysteries have already been solved. Agree that I, too, would like some of those which haven't been to be, yet even if they are once you and I have passed away we'll no longer remember the answers nor care to have ever received them in the first place. As to the second part, how does that work? You could have 45 years remaining, or a mere 45 seconds...

Your mind is powerful and if you let it "mindlessly" rest on these thoughts by letting your brain trail off into any thought it wants then you might come up with interesting new ideas about something you've never thought of before!!
Sort of like a brainstorm!!
Also when thinking of certain ideas, try and forget about the terms that are used i.e. gravity or time travel.. or even "time" but instead think of the idea of the word instead of limiting what you can imagine by already using what you know about the word "time"

It's just a possibility that is playing out and we are witness to it. It's amazing really.

I think the universe being infinite makes more sense then it just popping out of nowhere, seemingly creating everything there is out of absolutely nothing.
There was something just not what we know it as, it was an almost infinitely dense 1 Dimensional point.. we know the universe isn’t infinite because we know it was much smaller
@@SpiralSniperz an interesting statement to be sure, a testament to human ego. we are too young and know little to nothing!! An ant standing on a grain of sand and proclaiming his wisdom of the universe. A biproduct of consciences That says me and my little brain must be able to explain the universe, no other outcome is satisfying. The big bang just creates a bubble and nothing exists outside the bubble. But said bubble has a boundary so why would it need a boundary? it would need a boundary because an infinitely small being was trying to comprehend all that is was and ever shall be. This mind needs the bubble because it is incapable of comprehending how or why an infinite universe could exist. Why I would accept the infinite universe and reject the bubble universe is simply because if you create a universe that exists within a bubble you create a universe where you must accept a universe with hard borders which means you accept there is something that you can never understand!!! What exists is only what lies within the bubble and the boundaries of the bubble are just there because. The bubble exists but the fact that it has boundaries must be ignored. The infinite universe is the only possibility that says, in my musings that I accept my lack of understanding of the universe and my just now evolved brains ability to understand the universe is laughable at best. The universe is infinite and Only if the human mind could become infinite will it ever be capable of Truley understanding the universe
I believe that the particle duality experiment is the best hint we have so far on unlocking the secrets of the universe

@@marccolten9801 yep we would be putting poop in our butts and pooping hamburgers out of our mouths.
that's a real theory. quantum mechanics has no preferences as to the direction of time. one idea is entropy gives us the illusion of the arrow of time since it is easier to have more states of a system than fewer statistically. we are simply going from the less statistically probable condition of the big bang to the more probable condition of universal heat death.
I reject the notion that we cannot understand absolutely everything. All things are knowable.
You would need to know far more than we do to really conclude that.

Hey, Jonas! 👋🏼
i just understood the double slit experiment. and now IM ALL RILED UP, HOW IN THE HELL IS THAT POSSIBLE
i havent watched the video
When I watched a video about gravity being explained as gravity wells, it seemed very much like circular reasoning to me.
That's my issue with the "rubber sheet" analogy - using gravity to "explain" gravity. We already understand that spacetime is distorted in the presence of mass. The question is, why? The answer of course is, positive energy of matter is always reflected in the negative energy of spacetime curvature. There cannot exist a phenomenon in this physical reality unless its complementary or opposite phenomenon also comes into existence. It is for this reason I often make the point that at cosmic t-0, the positive energy hyperplasma emerged along with the negative energy hyperinflating spacetime, such that the net energy of the cosmos is zero, as pointed out by S. W. Hawking.
They said we wouldn’t know a lot of things.
With AGI coming around we will definitely have a lot of break through.
This video has me thinking the simulation hypothesis may not be all that far fetched. Really disconcerting stuff.
I think that we might very well live in a simulation. The question is: what it the universe like that produced the beings that made the simulation? Is there a universe that is more easily understandable and makes more sense than ours?
I watched an excellent video on that a few months ago. The conclusion was that it was actually highly unlikely that we are in a simulation and it was based on good evidence and scientific reasoning using known facts and math. The conclusion wasn't 100% - there was still a little room for doubt but the chance that this universe was a simulation was incredibly tiny. Wish I could remember the title of the video - it was the best I've ever seen on the subject, and I've seen a lot!
That's just crazy talk.

How can something that doesnt think by itself learn more than what its programmed too its like asking why doesn't a slave free himself most of the time its simply because it never ocured to him and slaves are still human beings AIs are simply code and even self learning AIs are just code made to repeat a task or multiple task again and again until it does it perfectly still its instructions were made by people so to certain degree even complex programs will never actually be trully free while deep down a slave human after multiple generations will try to taste freedom by himself

The Big Bang and the Expanding Universe are THEORIES and NOT settled science and are wrong as taught
“Before the bing bang”- There really wasn’t. The “Big Bang” is a bad name since it implies that it it was some sort of explosion. However, the only way we know about this “Big Bang” is due to the expansion of the universe. Therefore, the universe at one point had to be a singularity. Therefore, everything including all physical laws and matter existed inside of this point. I don’t think there was an “outside” since the universe is everything that exists- at least to our eyes. Therefore, trying to “perceive” something that is imperceivable is sort of counterproductive.
@@nusquam2 "theories." You apparently don't know the strength of theories in the scientific community. Also, nothing in science can ever be fixed and settled. It changes based on the technology on hand to analyze phenomena. That's why science is beautiful.
Lastly, just because it' not settled doesn't necessarily make it wrong. Because if so, that would make everything we know WRONG.
radwilly1 - There are a lot of scientists who think there was a before the big bang. All we know is that the area we inhabit came from some sort of event like that. What we don't know is if that event happened inside of a previous or even still currently active universe, or something entirely different.
@@nusquam2 The word "theory" in science implies that we don't have a complete model, it has nothing to do with the certainty of individual consequences or observations in that theory. Theory in science doesn't mean the same thing as theory in colloquial language.
The universe has to be infinite if it’s still expanding, there is no measurement for the size of the universe, that’s like asking how long is time?
The universe is very big it seens like its infinite but in realty the so big bye the time the star age ends we would never had leave
happygamer L231 not sure what your on about

If the universe is a mathematical object, then we will eventually figure it out. If it’s not, then we will hit a road block and be unable to go any further.
I agree with you Carl, this is probably true; especially if the physical means to replicate the creation energy proves to be insurmountable. This is my amateur philosophical take on the subject In my opinion the mathematics of the universe is roughly [very roughly!] analogous to the syntax or grammar of human language. The existence of which depends on the capability and needs of the entity embedded in the system. Any coherent thought with regards to the mechanics and phenomena of the Universe requires internalized or expressed symbols mirroring the logic of the system. A full "mathematical" understanding of our Cosmos may require the use of mathematical concepts such as infinite systems, indefinite values and other exotic models that may only describe the aspects of our Universe that essentialy evade any analysis which may be the case with consciousness, which may be described elementaly and even logically modeled but can only be created in a physical system. As an example a Hurricane or any typical weather system can be modeled to increasing degrees of accuracy with the resultant climate emerging as one to one data points. On the other hand, a conscious system which may be a direct result of a sufficiently complex and large neural network/sensory system might only emerge only when the fundamental nature of interactions at the particle level are present. This may be true of the Universe itself. We may be able to describe the mathematics, logic and mathematical concepts involved but only be able to attribute the resultant physics of reality in a modeled system. This is obvious of course. Only when the actual system {our universe} is allowed to interact would the characteristic phenomena of our unvierse emerge [this is the reasonable inference, something like this must be demonstrated to be accepted as a theorey]. In other words, even if the Universe cannot be fully modeled, even conceptually by mathematics, we might be able retain the insight to infer the resultant model that characterizes the action of our Universe in reality. This might be in the form of a "higher" mathematics/logic science; new type of sophistry [or branch of philosophy] or a spiritually [extra-natural] based wisdom.
If creation of the big bamg is caused by spooky distant action maybe the igition can only be brought on by a very specific thing. that all of these universes out in the void are all happening one way, they only way they could, and every universe is the same. just happening at different times
math is always changing, new math is always discovered, we will figure out a lot but not everything is math. we may progress in the areas that are maths but the ones that are not maths may require different approach.
See Fitch’s Paradox, Underdetermination, Duhem-Quine, Godel, and others.
BRILLIANT
Out of curiosity, have you heard of, or by chance, play the game Star Citizen? You strike me as the type that may potentially desperately be waiting (like myself) for the game to be completed.
Also, great channel. The crossover video between Event Horizon and The Townsends was a pleasant surprise as I have been subscribed to both channels and never saw that kind of collab coming.
Star Citizen is a scam, stop promoting it.
John strikes me more as the kind of guy who's been studying his whole life and didn't waste time with video games like I did ;-)
ViDeO gAMes aRe wASte oF TiMe I havent had issues.
@@Mrrshal take of the tinfoil hat, buddy.
@@cherub3624 No, he's right. Star Citizen is a scam.
IF it ever releases, it will be so far below the expectations of the original pitch, it wouldn't be fair to call it the same game.
You're buying a tech demo. A tech demo dude.
Hello John,my name is Bruno,and I simply wanted to tell you how mich pleasure I derive from your videos AND!!!! I think that you have one of the most UNIQUE sounding voices on all of the videos I have ever listened to!!!! And YES I am suscribed to your channel AND I encourage all other fellow You Tubers TO do the same!!!! Keep them videos a comming ,Please and Thank You!!!!!!!!
Okay, end of the UA-cam bus ride for me. I've arrived at that part of UA-cam again.
Your voice could make 100 students sleepy in miniutes.
We as humans are the most unfortunate species. We have no idea where we came from, why we are here and where we are going? And we may never know.

i understood nothing especially the double split
Marco Polo Do you mean the double-slit experiment? I understand it to a certain degree but I have never seen an actual demonstration of it. All we ever see are explanations and animations. I would actually like to see the experiment performed. I would like to know the actual physical tools and machinery that performs the experiment and what materials they are made of. I like to know what kind of mechanism is used for the observation. Does it consist of any electronic or magnetic part that can cause the wave duality to fluctuate? Is there some sort of biological interference? I don't comprehend all the advanced mathematics of particle physics but maybe if I actually saw this experiment performed I might be able to help figure out why a particle can be both a wave and a particle. I presume that it is somehow similar to a body of water and individual drops of water. I may be wrong but I wish I can go somewhere to see this experiment performed.
I’ve seen IT explained many times, can’t remember where first explain, but maybe the fabric of the cosmos or Brian greens first document
Basiclly, We don't know why electrons behave as a wave in small scales, but also act like a particle in larger scales
Its theorized too be a cloud of probability, as in the Electron is never in a single place but has a higher probability to be in a certain olace, and once we observe its location,it colapses into a particle
Or something like that from my understsnding
@Reprogram Your Ass lol
@Reprogram Your Ass Then conduct the experiment yourself and give us the "real" proof, images and video and become famous by doing what literally no one else has ever been able to do.
In Star Trek it was called Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development (the other Earths in our universe) Funny to think that's a real concept
Bread and Circuses, wasn't it?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know.
Science: questions that may never be answered. Religion: answers that must never be questioned. Wanna take the easy path - stay with religion. No critical thinking required.
Want to go to hell? Reject god......
im not religious.. but you are so wrong
Ever try thinking about when time might have began, and the harder you think, the more overwhelmed and panicked you begin to feel?
Whenever I do this, I always reach a point where my brain can’t imagine any further possibilities, and it begins to seem almost as if I have reached the limits of what the human mind is capable of processing.
We'll never know the ultimate nature of forces matter/energy
