What you're seeing in your thumbnail is a cross-section of a torrid on one side of the singularity of the toroid time Flows In Reverse and on the other side it flows regular this is the shape of the universe and we observe a flat universe because we are not the fundamental dimension of space and we have proof of Singularity inside of a convex or concave mirror and also inside of magnetism which is also a toroid with opposite spinning toroidal flows
Must have felt good though. A lot of times I know the inner workings of things without opening them up. But when the day comes that the object is broken and I get to open it; I enjoy seeing I was right. I imagine it was a similar feeling.
@@PowerateKinda, it's my understanding that there was objects that were assumed to be black holes with the observation methods available (without being able to detect gravitational waves) and they were then used to form the basis of Penrose and Hawkings' work on thermodynamics and radiation, but in 2016 they were able to detect gravitational waves, probing their existence and in 2017 they were able to capture an image which 2 years later was proved to be the first confirmed and sighted black hole. Though earlier observations were assumed and formed a basis, it is impossible to know that they weren't something else that acted in the same way, and in this field you kinda don't count anything out until you've got all the proof, you just keep working at it.
@@ProjectMATHEW This is very interesting because media culture has been portraying black holes for decades, I wonder if the perception or how they are portrayed will change by taking inspiration from the photo
After discovering Hidden Astral Projection Techniques on Shirlest, I can't believe I waited so long to explore astral projection. The little details made all the difference for me!
Insane that you’ve kept 6.3 million people watching so far (after 5 days) and gotten to #1 on trending with a math heavy video with the word math in the title. It’s an educational UA-camr master class
Many things help: Eistein still have a stardom fame in popular imagination, and then the title also lures with Strange - and something... something what? A weird/exotic/strange mistery around einsteins greatest work. Then that vagueness of the title +mistery +strange can also allude to way more things- like what if its alluding to something wrong or something shattering... Sadly the kind of public interest (even more so for education) we ideally need would be one where this kind of view count would be in a video called 'the fascinating math of eistein' wich just doesnt happen
As a german, I'm still stunned how a person with the name "Schwarzschild" could predict the radius of a black hole. It's such an unbelievable semantic coincident, as it basically is translated to "Blackshield"... Feels very weird hearing this, as I couldn't imagine a better word describing this phenomenon.
Yeah, and the poynting vector is the vector, pointing to the energy flux. When you experiment with cold nitrogen, the Leidenfrost Effect will prevent you from Frostleiden (german for: frost damage / frost suffer). The Rayleigh scatter scribes the scatter of a light ray. Nomen est omen! P.S.: It's a pitty Amalie Noether didn't proved that there is no ether in spacetime.
i thought the same thing! very certain Schwarzschild already visited it and came back and changed his name, or, he actually came from another universe. ooooooooooooh
It's an amazing coincidence that the event horizon acts as a kind of "black shield", shielding the events inside from the outside world, and "black shield" is literally what "Schwarzschild" means in german.
I'm just a regular guy who wasn't exceptionally bright at maths or physics in school, my field of work is nowhere near astrophysics or something like that. I just like Veritasium, PBS Spacetime and Isaac Arthur's channels, and this was the first time I actually got to kinda make sense of all this stuff.
Hard to comprehend and understand things unless they are explaining what they're talking about from the very beginning. Its like being taught how to read without being taught the alphabet first
This is probably the hardest thing about math. When you get this deep into math in college, it all becomes just numbers, variables, expressions, and equations. Things start to remove themselves from a tangible way of understanding. Breaking it down like this so all of it can be consumed and comprehended in such a simple fashion while still being awe-inspiring is the most astounding things that people can do in STEM fields. People explaining an entire field like this in such a tangible fashion is so important and hard to come by.
The human effort to try to understand infinity while simultaneously trying to ignore that it exsts is amusing but also very fitting considering the nature of infinity.
I see a lot of smart physicists and astrophysicists in the comments being blown away by explaining and visualizing the diagrams, but I am just a regular guy who works in marketing and is simply fascinated by this stuff. I don't understand nearly as much as was intended for me in these videos, but I am infinitely grateful that I can still get something as complicated as this thanks to your impeccable delivery of information. Thanks Veritasium!
@@goodshiro10 You can still choose to follow physics in college if you want. That was the career I wanted to follow when I was young, and ended up in law haha
26:21 The example of negative latitudes makes sense. There are plenty of cases where 0 is just a reference point that can be moved. But here are two examples you that prove that negative solutions aren’t valid. First, take physical quantities. On paper they can be negative, for concepts like money, but in physical reality, if Jonny starts with 5 apples and takes one apple out of the bag every minute, the bag can never have negative apples. Another physical example is temperature. Sure, some units have moved zero ‘up’ for convenience, but on a Kelvin scale, zero is zero and there is no such thing as negative temperature.
@@captainkirk4271 antimatter exists, sure. Are you suggesting that the bag of apples could contain anti-apples? I suppose it’s possible. But is that the same as removing apples until you have a negative quantity of apples? In the video the suggestion is to follow the math “past zero”, to where there are solutions to the equations with negative inputs, wherein we don’t yet understand what those negative inputs represent. So is the thought that you could somehow remove an apple from an empty bag, the bag would then contain an anti apple? Hmm interesting 🤔 What about temperature? What could negative kelvin temperature be?
The graphics in your latest videos top most any scientific graphics that exist on the internet. It is very hard to make graphics that are both accurate and understandable. Very well done
What do you think about this graphics? 😂 And most important about an idea that black/white holes are just viewer position perspective? Viewer outside: black hole (material flow in) . -- ~~~ -- . .-~ ~-. / Viewer \ / inside: \ material flow | white < < < |< < < < < | hole < < < |< < < < < | < < < |< < < < < \ material flows / \ from / `-. everywhere .-' ~- . _ . -~ White hole by definition is a "surface" where anything can only fly out of it and nothing can fall in/reach it. So when someone outside of black hole he just see like everything fall in and disappears. But when he fall in he see material can only fly out of that same "surface" he just pass through. And nothing can reach it back. Then that is a "white hole" now. How do find this idea? :)
@@hector4913Well you can't really label his hypothesis true/false either seeing as *_all_* theories on black/white hole physics are simply unproven hypothesis based on hypothetical possibilities and thus are *equally* possible of being "true" _regardless_ of how "supported/unsupported" they are due to the amount of *_direct_*_ observation/ _*_objective_*_ data_ which we base these hypothesis on being *none* precisely lmao 💯👍
It's awesome to see another of my *favorite channels* for demonstrations of science concepts here‼️ The viewers *_want & need_* an ActionLab/Veritasium collaboration 💯
Fun fact as fellow artilleryman, when calculating ballistic trajectories you start by pretending there is nothing in a flat 2-d universe except the howitzer, the round, and a constant 'down'-word acceleration. From that start point of the "standard" world, you then add corrections for every error, wind speed/direction/density, humidity, your distance from the equator, the rotation of the earth, wether [sic] you're firing with or against that rotation, the weight of the round, air temperature, and most anything else that could effect any part of the round traveling. It makes logical sense to me that Schwartzchild would take a similarly empty starting approach to solve Einstein's equations.
@@trrrmac I've never missed? Missing is pretty uncommon in the US. The math is surprisingly detailed, facilitated by hundreds of reference pages of raw reference data and simple/repeatable step-by-step reference sheets you use everytime all to make sure the round goes where you were asked to put it. 🤣 Not the most fun thing thing to do manually, but it works! Plus, we have a few computer systems we use as the primary means to do the math once we're out of training which helps dramatically!
@@trrrmac A conventional unguided M549A1 155 mm artillery projectile has a circular error probable (CEP) of 267 m (876 ft) at its maximum range, meaning that half of the rounds can be expected to land within 267 m (876 ft) of their intended target. The lethal radius of a typical 155mm round is about 50m, but fragments can extend well beyond that for "soft" targets (i.e. humans, light vehicles like unarmored trucks, etc.). So a "hit" depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is what you're trying to hit. Troops in the open? 50m away is likely lethal to them. A tank? Unless you hit it directly, you're probably not even damaging it. A bunker? Not only must you hit it, but you must penetrate it.
This video is just ART. Didnt understand anything but realised human ingenuity is what that needs utmost appreciation. How did we end up with these solutions with just pen and paper ? Great visuals and Narration. Veritasium never disappoints
Pen + paper are used to work these solutions through, to do the math, but in the first place the ideas come from the human mind. Einstein didn't start with math to get Special Relativity, but with a thought-experiment: "what would I see if I could ride on a light wave?"; similarly, with General Relativity, the starting point was "what would we experience in a falling elevator?". This is not unique to Einstein: Newton asked "if an apple falls, does the moon also fall?". In all cases, the genius lies in asking a simple question then pursuing the logic + math of it, no matter how counterintuitive that may appear.
it will never stop driving me crazy that much of the time scientists, when trying to argue for or against something, dont automatically try to prove its true AND prove its false. its usually one or the other, so someone makes an argument for 1 side, and until someone notices something to make an argument against it, possibly making process, time just goes on without accurate advancement. in the field im familiar with decades have gone by without things being revisited in the past that caused big waves and changes after being challenged, and only now are people speaking out about making assumptions and not exploring other possibilities that go against 'tradition'
No bc when I was thinking of what would happen if you went inside a black hole that's spinning, before he showed us the answer, I was like "crosses into another universe through a white hole right?" But I realised it wasn't possible. Til that reveal at the end, to be fair I think anyone would've guessed that but still 😭
Mind-bending in the very best way. Stellar job breaking down these concepts into understandable pieces. Veritasiam is a gift to this world. Thank you, Derek and team!
this is the kind of veritasium videos i live for. complex enough to make me feel a lost, but with a clear thread of intuition running through it that makes me feel like I understand what's going on. def watching this a 100 more times
Lol, it's very complex indeed. Complexity that requires a lot of studying. Then again there's a point where even the experts can't have a consensus anymore.
Man, the animation is totally world class. Nothing unnecessarily elaborate, but just enough to tell the story. Derek is not a youtuber, he’s an educator who uses youtube as his platform.
True, videos like these have such value for visualization even for people already deep their STEM fields. This is why it's sad there was that whole movement done by internet elitists to try and make Veritasium out to be a fraud because of that one electricity video that caused confusion. Mob mentality really sucks.
@9:07 Is it a coincidence that you can calculate the Schwarzshild radius using only classical mechanics? (1/2)*m*v²= GMm/R? But how is it possible since the left term is valid only for v
Got to hand it to you: this is probably the best layman-focused explanation of black holes that I've seen anywhere on the internet (not including formal lecture series like Lenny Susskind's Theoretical Minimum). -- I'm a theoretical physicist at a national lab in the US.
@@thefreemonk6938 Major in physics (and/or math) at your local state school, do well in your classes and if possible join one of your professor's research group and get some experience tackling 'real' problems. Apply to grad school (helps to have an interested advisor, so make connections!), write papers and present at conferences. Get your PhD and apply for research positions that are interesting to you. Most faculty and national lab staff positions typically require you to do a postdoc to build up your publication record. It's a long road, and academic positions come with their own annoyances and downsides. You'll make a lot more money in industry (especially given the extent of your education) and not have to work as hard. But if you really want the pure 'discovering the unknown' vocation that the Einsteins and Kelvins of the past had, a national lab staff position is about as close as you can get (excluding becoming a billionaire and funding your own lab).
I absolutely love your channel and this video is amazing. While speaking to the general audience, you don't tell misinformation while simplifying. You went right into SR, then Schwarschild, Kruskal Zekeres coordinates and then the Kerr metric. This is how it's taught in universities. I cannot say that I've seen a more accurate video on this subject on UA-cam. All the best and keep uploading such excellent videos.
@@BroadHobbyProjects And you probably drool and clap at everything you see without forming an opinion. Not everyone agrees with some theories and not everyone needs to.
This is probably the best video you've done yet. You consider all known factors for why these structures might exist but also don't jump to Michio Kaku-like insane conclusions by showing how the universe we see don't seem to allow that. All the while you never crush our sense of longing for something wondrous. Amazing job, Derek. You're a science communicator par excellence.
Man, your videos are amazing. UA-cam recommends me to watch them from time to time and I’m always like „whaaaat, 40 minutes, too long and sounds boooring” but after a while I’m clicking in and maaaan, what a journey it is! And I feel like I understand that subject a moment 😅 Great stuff very well made, rock on buddy! And have a good Christmas!
@@cslack813 Hell, I didn't even know that character EXISTED. :-) Can I assume it is just a double comma? It makes me wonder if that is the way quotes work in some language other than English. Also, just because one question mark is good doesn't mean two are better (just kidding).
But if you want real deep astrophysics explanations with calculus equations and theoretical physics, go see Matt @ PBS Spacetime! I could barely keep up!
I got mind blown when Prof. Geraint F. Lewis said at 26:58 "This is the simplest solution to the Einstein field equations and it already contains a black hole, white hole and two universes".
This progression of complexity is pretty common in physics. We use differential equations to describe how the Universe works. Thos differential equations can go from trivially easy to solve to a five minute exercise to a real headache to literally impossible to solve by just adding one term for each step. Einstein's equations are a set of 11 differential equations all coupled together, its a miracle we have any solutions at all
@@galactoman5503 brute force get´s kind of hard considering you basically have an infinite amount of functions (let alone the curvature) most of which when applied will just return something you have to spent time on trying to understand and interpret. It´s way more than just pluging in random numbers and seeing what fits (the tough but interesting part)
I rarely leave comments, but I have to say, the incredible effort you've poured into this video is absolutely astonishing. Your ability to explain Einstein's complex equations with such clarity and engagement is a testament to your years of dedication and the deep insights you gained during your PhD research on effective science education. The stunning graphics and your compelling presentation style kept me captivated throughout the entire video. This work brilliantly showcases your passion and the extensive journey you've undertaken to make challenging topics accessible and enthralling for everyone. Amazing job, Derek!!! 👍🏽
Excellent review for this video. So well stated, that I couldn't help but think that you would be great at writing reviews for companies. You could sell just about any company, with your eloquent way of speaking on a subject. Outstanding!!
As someone with a bachelors of science and physics who has studied general relativity, this is an absolutely phenomenal video; it is arguably one of the most amazing videos on this channel. Derek, you have absolutely outdone yourself! This video finds a way to communicate some of the most complex topics in all of Physics in a way that anyone can understand, many hats off to you!
@@TamWam_ You'll learn much more about your reality with chemistry, than you ever will from these Jesuit spawned mathematical models masquerading as science.

We are like house cats discussing calculus. We can't even imagine. We throw words around that we can understand, but we don't have brains that can comprehend.

When you narrow the spacetime cone to that one single point, that point is the moment when the future becomes the past. It's the point where you discover if the cat is alive or dead. And there are an infinite number of those points growing on the surface of a sphere, because we choose to lock the time dimension at this one point, and can watch it spread and meld with all of those other infinitesimally small points that define the interface between the potential (the future) and the kinetic (the past). Love your visualizations, would love to take them further.
Opened this thinking "ok black holes are well-trodden youtube material and PBS Spacetime has been crushing it on the science explainers," and what could this possibly add? Then there's this coherent, beautifully structured and produced, 37-minute-video-that-feels-18-minutes long that is a masterwork of both passion and competence for teaching. It makes NdGT seem unapproachable in comparison. Awesome
PBS Spacetime did a good job explaining it as well. They split it up across a few videos to get more into the weeds, though. This was a good high level overview.
I never expected to learn how Einstein Rosen bridges actually work more than just watching it being referenced in pop culture media as a cheap way to get characters to another space
One thing I’m confused about is, he speaks about anti-universes where gravity pushes rather than pulls. But, in that case, wouldn’t it be impossible for black holes to form? Aren’t black holes essentially wells of inwardly pulling gravity?
@@DarthHoosier3038 Yes, which is why in an anti-verse white holes would dominate instead of black holes. The mode of travel to a new universe would be the same. Not sure how a ship would react being in such a universe, however. Interesting thought experiment.
@@woodthomas14 yeah it takes looking at the anti universe with the same lense as our regular one, the white holes take place of the black holes and black holes take place of the white ones. white ones in the antiverse are not just possible but provable just as our regular black holes there. on the other hand the black holes are "unlikely to exist"
@@BrianWelch-vc7xy You know what would be awesome? 1. Travelling into the Antiverse, 2. get some good ol steel bars with negative density, 3. go back into a normal universe, 4. build custom wormhole back to home. 5. Bring freedom to new planets 6. Profit 😊
Derek has a background in physics education. Normally, that means more education and less physics. He turned that paradigm on its head. It's refreshing to listem to an educator who actually knows what he is talking about. Prospective teachers at my university get simplified courses whose textbooks look like coloring books. But they sure study a lot about how to deliver the knowledge that they don't have.
I love all the anecdotes from history of famous scientists basically saying "Yeah theoretically maybe but there's no way that actually exists, no sane man would believe it, it's absurd. And the video is about worm holes and parallel universes.
"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." - Arthur C Clarke.
"the war treated me kindly enough, in spite of the heavy gunfire, to allow me to get away from it all and take this walk into the land of your ideas" ..... BARS and eloquence.
The war has treated me kindly enough In spite of the, like, gunfire and stuff To allow me to get away from all this malice To allow me a walk inside of your mind palace
The moment the diagram was laid out as a square with a triangle on top I thought "well that kinda seems incomplete" and with every expansion my mind was further blown. So satisfying to watch that diagram slowly grow until it reaches theoretical infinity.
This video deserves a better title. If it had been, "An exploration of black holes, white holes, and wormholes", as he sums it up early on, it's likely it wouldnt have sat on my feed unseen for 5 months before viewing. Excellent topic, by a proven excellent explorer. :D
absolutely true, but ta title like that wouldn't do well under the yoututbe algorithm. Unfortunately, he has to play towards that to get any sort of traction
34:18 Wouldn’t our ‘white hole’ be the Big Bang? Or rather, whatever caused it? If I’m understanding that diagram right, wouldn’t the only way to enter one be through a black hole or by moving backwards in time? If there’s anything I’m missing please let me know…
Yep. Came here to say this. This would also entail the formation of a black hole is a big bang in a new universe, but that doesn’t feel right. Perhaps the totality of black holes in the entire universe could though.
Math: You can't divide by zero Physics: Dividing by zero produces an einstein rosen bridge in the space time manifold to another universe traversable only if the singularity is spinning
From what I understand I think it's not dividing by absolute zero but something that approaches zero so that's a different thing. You do this all the time in Calculus.
That has to be THE best explanation of some of the higher concepts that get touched on but never really explained in other YT videos. While still incredibly complex, I could follow this enough to feel better about some of the concepts that drive theoretical physics. Thank you!!!!
So if we want to talk to someone from a parralel universe , we not only can't send info back to report our interraction , we will also be both crushed at the singularity 😢😢😢
The thing I like about Veritasium is that the math and Physics parts are hard to watch, but I can endure that pain knowing there's something amazing coming. Delivers always!
Approaching the problem by using different projections really helped me to understand, for example, why images of everything that fell in do not remain at the event horizon. In fact, the map projection analogy itself made Penrose diagrams suddenly feel much less alien, more intuitive. Also, pleased to see the cooperation with Science Clic, a channel that excels at intuitive explanations. All good!
Bravo! The best video I have ever seen on UA-cam! Bravo! You outdid yourself on this one. Magnum, opus. Although I learned some of this 40 years ago as I got a physics degree, not only did you make those topics much easier to understand, but by stacking things together, you had me understand things that I didn’t even know existed when I woke up this morning. You have a gift. Thank you for using it to make a complicated concept fun and interesting.
This video was a fun journey from explaining things I thought I already understood, to things I knew I didn't understand, to things I didn't think I could understand, to explaining things I didn't realize anyone could understand, to explaining things that can't be understood. It's like I've entered this video's event horizon and ended up at the end of its universe.
While I very much the theoretical approach, Tesla had something to say about this. Like the Manhattan project theoretical work will get you (sometimes) close, however there needs to be the 'hands on' approach to compliment it as well. The theoretic approach has always intuitively left me feeling that something is missing. DEREK I *LOVE* the channel !!!
Derek, I think this is your best video yet (and that's saying something, because every video you make is worth watching), but this is on another level. As a non professional physisist/mathematician, I finally understand what scientists mean when they say "math predicts that there may be other universes" or "math predicts that white holes are possible", which was almost like a taboo to go into details by anyone! Thank you!
You've just got me puzzled. Again. Literally every Veritasium video makes want to leave university and go study physics, maths or anything the video talks about. I barely understand anything in your videos, but that's what I love about them, and what makes me watch every single episode. Thank you for educating people. Keep up the good work.
I mean, if you’re in uni you’re already in one of the best possible positions to study physics, so if it really captivates you that much give it a shot, like a minor or a double major if you’re not ready to change yet
You could "take a few courses" via MIT's Open Courseware. They don't count for credits or anything (hence the quotes) but they include all the course materials including tests so you can see if it's actually something you'd want to study. It's a free test drive you can take infinitely.
becarefull is not that visually easy on math or physics universities course, to taggle that down you need skill and they need time and effort to be develop
This topic, especially for many in your regular audience, has been attempted by many from PBS to Sabine to even lectures by Leonard and podcasts in which Penrose himself is explaining. From someone who is not on the level to truly understand despite a lot of attempts and re-watching, as well as an educator, thank you for trying again because I really learned and connected a lot that I had not fully understood before. One of your best videos, and that is saying something.
@@mishmash86Fr, I haven't even reached the point in math where you learn calculus and I still felt like I understood this (the concept and not the details tho) 😭
🤣🤣🤣It's funny that you all think this ridiculousness is educational. Shows why this world is in the situation it's in. People really believe pseudo science is real science. Following the herd generally indicates that you're following stupidity. And that's exactly what this nonsense is. A bunch of theoretical nonsense.
@@MichaelEilers just as @Kavaitsu said, it is because it's a rotating blackhole, so the centripetal force resulting from it pushes its boundaries outwards from its original spherical shape.
Go check out ScienceClic youtube channel (the one who made the animation). The is one of the best channel here on UA-cam. State of the art videos for understanding advanced astronomical concepts. Maybe the best educational channel. He does videos in french, but I know that he now uploads the same videos on a new English equivalent clone channel with English voice explanation.
What textbook are they referring to here at 33:31? I see that they have mentioned the Book by Brian Cox, But I do see a textbook of some sort whereby explaining the pennrose diagram. Anyone who can tell me this ?

people continue to underestimate the term "a life's work" dude literally spent his entire existence on it and also had the enough intelligence to keep going. yes.
I love math. The fact that people were able to mathematically see that black holes could exist, even as most physicists thought they were preposterous, is just so awesome.
@@MarkAhlquistI'm sure there's many worlds. But there's no way they connect neatly like is proposed here, and you're not going to see "parallel" worlds where things look nearly identical and there's extra versions of yourself or others. And there's certainly not infinite worlds.

16:42 I didn't go to college, but intuitively came up with the waterfall model after smoking a few bowls back in my 20's. Like the scene from "Lady & the Tramp" if two objects consume from the same source, they'll eventually collide. Where does this model break down? I'm in my 50's now, and still haven't seen anything (that I understand, as I suck at math) that disproves space could be actually be flowing rather than curved.

@@deserteagle78966 and math is a language. Creating something to describe something is not discovering it.

I can replace every math symbol with whatever I want and it stays the same because the symbols are a human invention and describe them to a human. The numbers don't dictate reality.
The most comprehensive explanation I've ever seen. Everyone only covers the usual and you can predict what they'll say, "... So much gravitational pull, not even light can escape.". I think we all know that ad nauseam now but this video really gets under the hood. ❤❤❤❤
Ok here are my two points .@veritasium 1. Incredible effort and graphics to show the simplest visualization possible for something complex like this 2. You just reiterated to me how stupid a person I am as even the most dumbed down version went over my head 😂. This is by far one of the best UA-cam channels, when my kids are older I will get them hooked onto this
get them hooked onto it now. Unless they're like babies... but maybe you can still play some sort of lecture or audio about it all day and then maybe they'll somehow understand and that's everything they're going to be thinking about lol.
It's amazing to think that there are humans who came up with all this. The 19 year old who he mentioned found out about the electron degeneracy thingy, imagine doing that at 19

as a child, one of the few times my dad managed to drag me to the library, i remember finding a book covering the basic principles of black holes, not unlike this video i don't remember how in-depth the book actually went, because i can obviously only remember whatever i was able to comprehend back then, but i remember that it absolutely captivated me, the strange odities and limits of physics that where proven by raw math long before they were actually observed and i gotta say that this video was just as captivating, if not more, now that i am able to understand the things at least the littlest bit better makes me relieved to not have lost that curiosity about the topic, as daunting and overwhelming as it may seem to most
For the last several years I’ve always considered Veritasium as a warm up to the next climactic Mark Rober video drop. I don’t know why I felt this way, this channel has become far superior than any other STEM edutainment. I now consider your animated discovery/biography videos to be my most sought after “latest drop” in all of UA-cam.
Mark Rober is for kids and occasionally adults, and Veritasium is for adults and occasionally kids. This has only grown wider over time as Derek's voice has grown smoother and more professional, and Mark's voice has grown shriller and more childish. Not an insult to Mark; just the direction he chose, and inspiring kids is fine. To put it another way, Mark is trending toward Mr. Wizard/Bill Nye, Derek is trending toward Carl Sagan.
Mark focuses to reach a wide audience & inspires them to pick STEM. Veritasium focuses on those inspired audience & shows them the boundaries of STEM Both are superior in their fields
Derek I don't know how you managed to create a video going over such massive and complex concepts and still making it all make sense. The building blocks, the reveal of blackhole, the transition into Penrose diagram, the theories leading to the white hole, parallel universes and even the antiverse together making this the most epic and informative educational content I've ever seen. It shows how good you truly are at what you do. Thank you for being you.
A big issue with sending someone through a singularity to see if it leads to another universe, besides all the ones related to the whole “we’re made of meat” thing, is that if we managed to get someone through a singularity, unless time worked different in that universe somehow, they wouldn’t be able to “turn around” and come back to tell us
the problem with the einstein rosen bridge is that it is physical garbage and only used to catch peoples attention for propagating physics. parrelel universes or wormholes do not exist. they are just a mathematical hallucination of general relativity and have no physical reasoning
Wouldn’t we be able to assuming it’s all spinning? Using the energy to pull something faster than light seems like it could also be the solution to turning around and relaying that info
If you could enter their universe then it stands to reason that the other universe could enter here. By that logic there's no reason they couldn't "turn around" to come tell us, just as long as they've already entered the other universe. Might be billions of years later from our perspective, but we would find out eventually.
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on this topic. The visualizations provided a very clear view on how the obviously complex math led to our theories and what it actually meant, and also did a great job illustrating where our gaps in understanding are and where it might be "just math". Well done.
Such an amazing video Ty! Too bad it seems you can’t return to a previous universe once you’ve passed through to an alternate one, so we’ll never know. Also in regard to the energy buildup at the ring singularity causing it to collapse into its own singularity denying further passage, that would simply be a closing off of one entrance to that universe? The universe would still exist with at minimum whatever information made it across the ring singularity before it collapsed? So interesting to think about.

Hello veritasium
What you're seeing in your thumbnail is a cross-section of a torrid on one side of the singularity of the toroid time Flows In Reverse and on the other side it flows regular this is the shape of the universe and we observe a flat universe because we are not the fundamental dimension of space and we have proof of Singularity inside of a convex or concave mirror and also inside of magnetism which is also a toroid with opposite spinning toroidal flows
this comment is strangely old
make a video about strange ocean stuff like the bloop. (The bloop is debunked but there's possibly even stranger unsolved mysteries)
If black hole is there , there must be somewhere like an exit so is that exit Past or some parallel universe?
Finding out about a black hole on paper and then finding it in real life must’ve been an eerie and horrific endeavor.
I can only imagine the existential crisis some of these theorists and scientists felt when they discovered one
Must have felt good though.

@@PowerateKinda, it's my understanding that there was objects that were assumed to be black holes with the observation methods available (without being able to detect gravitational waves) and they were then used to form the basis of Penrose and Hawkings' work on thermodynamics and radiation, but in 2016 they were able to detect gravitational waves, probing their existence and in 2017 they were able to capture an image which 2 years later was proved to be the first confirmed and sighted black hole.
Though earlier observations were assumed and formed a basis, it is impossible to know that they weren't something else that acted in the same way, and in this field you kinda don't count anything out until you've got all the proof, you just keep working at it.

As a german, I'm still stunned how a person with the name "Schwarzschild" could predict the radius of a black hole. It's such an unbelievable semantic coincident, as it basically is translated to "Blackshield"... Feels very weird hearing this, as I couldn't imagine a better word describing this phenomenon.
Simulation confirmed - lore designers got lazy with the naming conventions
superior beings were like "this humans are dumb, lets create somebody who can actually solve it, I've got a perfect name"

Yeah, and the poynting vector is the vector, pointing to the energy flux. When you experiment with cold nitrogen, the Leidenfrost Effect will prevent you from Frostleiden (german for: frost damage / frost suffer). The Rayleigh scatter scribes the scatter of a light ray. Nomen est omen!
P.S.: It's a pitty Amalie Noether didn't proved that there is no ether in spacetime.
i thought the same thing! very certain Schwarzschild already visited it and came back and changed his name, or, he actually came from another universe. ooooooooooooh
It's an amazing coincidence that the event horizon acts as a kind of "black shield", shielding the events inside from the outside world, and "black shield" is literally what "Schwarzschild" means in german.

26:21 The example of negative latitudes makes sense. There are plenty of cases where 0 is just a reference point that can be moved. But here are two examples you that prove that negative solutions aren’t valid. First, take physical quantities. On paper they can be negative, for concepts like money, but in physical reality, if Jonny starts with 5 apples and takes one apple out of the bag every minute, the bag can never have negative apples. Another physical example is temperature. Sure, some units have moved zero ‘up’ for convenience, but on a Kelvin scale, zero is zero and there is no such thing as negative temperature.
Antimatter?
@@captainkirk4271 antimatter exists, sure. Are you suggesting that the bag of apples could contain anti-apples? I suppose it’s possible. But is that the same as removing apples until you have a negative quantity of apples?
In the video the suggestion is to follow the math “past zero”, to where there are solutions to the equations with negative inputs, wherein we don’t yet understand what those negative inputs represent. So is the thought that you could somehow remove an apple from an empty bag, the bag would then contain an anti apple? Hmm interesting 🤔

White hole by definition is a "surface" where anything can only fly out of it and nothing can fall in/reach it. So when someone outside of black hole he just see like everything fall in and disappears. But when he fall in he see material can only fly out of that same "surface" he just pass through. And nothing can reach it back. Then that is a "white hole" now.

Fun fact as fellow artilleryman, when calculating ballistic trajectories you start by pretending there is nothing in a flat 2-d universe except the howitzer, the round, and a constant 'down'-word acceleration. From that start point of the "standard" world, you then add corrections for every error, wind speed/direction/density, humidity, your distance from the equator, the rotation of the earth, wether [sic] you're firing with or against that rotation, the weight of the round, air temperature, and most anything else that could effect any part of the round traveling. It makes logical sense to me that Schwartzchild would take a similarly empty starting approach to solve Einstein's equations.
how many did you hit.
@@trrrmac I've never missed? Missing is pretty uncommon in the US. The math is surprisingly detailed, facilitated by hundreds of reference pages of raw reference data and simple/repeatable step-by-step reference sheets you use everytime all to make sure the round goes where you were asked to put it. 🤣 Not the most fun thing thing to do manually, but it works! Plus, we have a few computer systems we use as the primary means to do the math once we're out of training which helps dramatically!
@@trrrmac A conventional unguided M549A1 155 mm artillery projectile has a circular error probable (CEP) of 267 m (876 ft) at its maximum range, meaning that half of the rounds can be expected to land within 267 m (876 ft) of their intended target. The lethal radius of a typical 155mm round is about 50m, but fragments can extend well beyond that for "soft" targets (i.e. humans, light vehicles like unarmored trucks, etc.).
So a "hit" depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is what you're trying to hit. Troops in the open? 50m away is likely lethal to them. A tank? Unless you hit it directly, you're probably not even damaging it. A bunker? Not only must you hit it, but you must penetrate it.
This is the common approach to basically any problem that applies mathematical theory to the physical world.

Pen + paper are used to work these solutions through, to do the math, but in the first place the ideas come from the human mind. Einstein didn't start with math to get Special Relativity, but with a thought-experiment: "what would I see if I could ride on a light wave?"; similarly, with General Relativity, the starting point was "what would we experience in a falling elevator?". This is not unique to Einstein: Newton asked "if an apple falls, does the moon also fall?". In all cases, the genius lies in asking a simple question then pursuing the logic + math of it, no matter how counterintuitive that may appear.

YES! us plebians really appreciate your time and effort to edumacate us!
As someone with a bachelors of science and physics who has studied general relativity, this is an absolutely phenomenal video; it is arguably one of the most amazing videos on this channel. Derek, you have absolutely outdone yourself! This video finds a way to communicate some of the most complex topics in all of Physics in a way that anyone can understand, many hats off to you!
Physics scares me 😨 this is why I take chemistry
@@TamWam_ You'll learn much more about your reality with chemistry, than you ever will from these Jesuit spawned mathematical models masquerading as science.
I've watched many such videos and there many amazing ones. I think the one by Alex of Astrum is even better than this one (then again Alex is a real physicist, not just a communicator).
All his videos are great. Love this guy
We are like house cats discussing calculus. We can't even imagine. We throw words around that we can understand, but we don't have brains that can comprehend.
A mathematician friend of mine pointed to 16:39 and reminded me not to put infinity directly in the integral limits. I told him that if I ever dealt with a black hole as an engineer, I'll remember not to
need more likes!!!

When you narrow the spacetime cone to that one single point, that point is the moment when the future becomes the past. It's the point where you discover if the cat is alive or dead.
And there are an infinite number of those points growing on the surface of a sphere, because we choose to lock the time dimension at this one point, and can watch it spread and meld with all of those other infinitesimally small points that define the interface between the potential (the future) and the kinetic (the past).
Love your visualizations, would love to take them further.
Opened this thinking "ok black holes are well-trodden youtube material and PBS Spacetime has been crushing it on the science explainers," and what could this possibly add?
Then there's this coherent, beautifully structured and produced, 37-minute-video-that-feels-18-minutes long that is a masterwork of both passion and competence for teaching. It makes NdGT seem unapproachable in comparison. Awesome
Woah, I honestly wouldn't have realized this was 37 minutes long if it wasn't for your comment.
NdGT catching strays
PBS Spacetime did a good job explaining it as well. They split it up across a few videos to get more into the weeds, though. This was a good high level overview.
Well spoken, comrad
My hope is that this video leads curious people and bridges them over to channels like PBS spacetime that dive deeper into these subjects.
Fantastic video as always! Very glad I could participate 🙏
hard to understand the scienceclic videos but this makes more sense
Ive seen a few of your videos,they are absolutely good and your editing levels are top notch too!
I've been subbed for a while, as soon as I saw the Astronaut POV clip I knew it was you, congrats on the collab!
Sa m'a étonné quand j'ai entendu ton nom dans la vidéo XD
@@yoloboogie3674I disagree. I think ScienceClic has some of the best explanations in science
I never expected to learn how Einstein Rosen bridges actually work more than just watching it being referenced in pop culture media as a cheap way to get characters to another space
One thing I’m confused about is, he speaks about anti-universes where gravity pushes rather than pulls. But, in that case, wouldn’t it be impossible for black holes to form? Aren’t black holes essentially wells of inwardly pulling gravity?
@@DarthHoosier3038 I think it would be similar to how white holes are most likely impossible in regular universes
@@DarthHoosier3038 Yes, which is why in an anti-verse white holes would dominate instead of black holes. The mode of travel to a new universe would be the same. Not sure how a ship would react being in such a universe, however. Interesting thought experiment.
@@woodthomas14 yeah it takes looking at the anti universe with the same lense as our regular one, the white holes take place of the black holes and black holes take place of the white ones. white ones in the antiverse are not just possible but provable just as our regular black holes there.
on the other hand the black holes are "unlikely to exist"
@@BrianWelch-vc7xy
You know what would be awesome?
1. Travelling into the Antiverse,
2. get some good ol steel bars with negative density,
3. go back into a normal universe, 4. build custom wormhole back to home.
5. Bring freedom to new planets
6. Profit 😊
@12:14 Actually neutron stars are mostly supported by the repulsive strong force.
The guy talking just like that with physics world gurus and showing it all to us here in yt in such a quality and elegant way simply blows my mind.
Derek has a background in physics education. Normally, that means more education and less physics. He turned that paradigm on its head. It's refreshing to listem to an educator who actually knows what he is talking about. Prospective teachers at my university get simplified courses whose textbooks look like coloring books. But they sure study a lot about how to deliver the knowledge that they don't have.
@@mikemondano3624 I follow Derek's channel for years and yet still cannot believe there is still room for the quality to be getting better and better.
@@bartk07better believe it

I love all the anecdotes from history of famous scientists basically saying "Yeah theoretically maybe but there's no way that actually exists, no sane man would believe it, it's absurd.
And the video is about worm holes and parallel universes.
The only possible journey one can have at the moment 😊

37 mins is perfect. Thank you for not over doing it or cutting it short and losing important facts. Great video sir! Again thank you!
Love this. Also, nothing says, "this is a math video" as much as, "your nemesis looks back at you, shaking his fist AT A CONSTANT RATE" 😅😅😅
LMAOOOO sooo true
more physics but yes
It's very considerate of them!
The moment the diagram was laid out as a square with a triangle on top I thought "well that kinda seems incomplete" and with every expansion my mind was further blown. So satisfying to watch that diagram slowly grow until it reaches theoretical infinity.
So you think you are better than Einstein
@@Jarvodavisbruh what
@@Jarvodavis whaat hes just exclaiming in awe why are you making this an ego thing
Is it reaching infinity, or is it looping? I mean, the guy gave the example of a globe...
It's a pyramid scheme
This video deserves a better title. If it had been, "An exploration of black holes, white holes, and wormholes", as he sums it up early on, it's likely it wouldnt have sat on my feed unseen for 5 months before viewing. Excellent topic, by a proven excellent explorer. :D
There is a video on this channel about why they have to clickbait - I am still against it though
@@lorkano Silliness ends up with people missing the true topic.
absolutely true, but ta title like that wouldn't do well under the yoututbe algorithm. Unfortunately, he has to play towards that to get any sort of traction
"Based on Einsteins math
Unfortunately youtube algorithm proves that titles like these gain higher engagement for a general audience.
34:18 Wouldn’t our ‘white hole’ be the Big Bang? Or rather, whatever caused it? If I’m understanding that diagram right, wouldn’t the only way to enter one be through a black hole or by moving backwards in time? If there’s anything I’m missing please let me know…
Yep. Came here to say this. This would also entail the formation of a black hole is a big bang in a new universe, but that doesn’t feel right. Perhaps the totality of black holes in the entire universe could though.
Math: You can't divide by zero
Physics: Dividing by zero produces an einstein rosen bridge in the space time manifold to another universe traversable only if the singularity is spinning
average math nerd vs average physics enjoyer
@@liam78587In this context its actually really funny and makes sense lol
From what I understand I think it's not dividing by absolute zero but something that approaches zero so that's a different thing. You do this all the time in Calculus.
Dammit math nerd😂 I like the Einstein rosen bridge into another universe through the spinning singularity
Me when I compare highschool maths with research level physics
That has to be THE best explanation of some of the higher concepts that get touched on but never really explained in other YT videos. While still incredibly complex, I could follow this enough to feel better about some of the concepts that drive theoretical physics. Thank you!!!!
So if we want to talk to someone from a parralel universe , we not only can't send info back to report our interraction , we will also be both crushed at the singularity 😢😢😢
I've taken just enough math that I BARELY understand what they're saying and my mind is absolutely blown. This. Is. INCREDIBLE.
There was math in this video?
@@michaelcherokee8906 Everything shown in this video was math
@@sorteskyer Shown? You mean you actually WATCH videos still?
The thing I like about Veritasium is that the math and Physics parts are hard to watch, but I can endure that pain knowing there's something amazing coming. Delivers always!
Approaching the problem by using different projections really helped me to understand, for example, why images of everything that fell in do not remain at the event horizon. In fact, the map projection analogy itself made Penrose diagrams suddenly feel much less alien, more intuitive. Also, pleased to see the cooperation with Science Clic, a channel that excels at intuitive explanations. All good!
Bravo! The best video I have ever seen on UA-cam! Bravo!
You outdid yourself on this one. Magnum, opus.
Although I learned some of this 40 years ago as I got a physics degree, not only did you make those topics much easier to understand, but by stacking things together, you had me understand things that I didn’t even know existed when I woke up this morning. You have a gift. Thank you for using it to make a complicated concept fun and interesting.
This video was a fun journey from explaining things I thought I already understood, to things I knew I didn't understand, to things I didn't think I could understand, to explaining things I didn't realize anyone could understand, to explaining things that can't be understood. It's like I've entered this video's event horizon and ended up at the end of its universe.
Well Said Sir 👏👏👏
Substitute "video" with "physical life."
While I very much the theoretical approach, Tesla had something to say about this. Like the Manhattan project theoretical work will get you (sometimes) close, however there needs to be the 'hands on' approach to compliment it as well. The theoretic approach has always intuitively left me feeling that something is missing.
DEREK I *LOVE* the channel !!!
This is hands-down one of the coolest videos on UA-cam. So many concepts I just could not wrap my head around summed up so succinctly.
Derek, I think this is your best video yet (and that's saying something, because every video you make is worth watching), but this is on another level. As a non professional physisist/mathematician, I finally understand what scientists mean when they say "math predicts that there may be other universes" or "math predicts that white holes are possible", which was almost like a taboo to go into details by anyone! Thank you!
You've just got me puzzled. Again. Literally every Veritasium video makes want to leave university and go study physics, maths or anything the video talks about. I barely understand anything in your videos, but that's what I love about them, and what makes me watch every single episode. Thank you for educating people. Keep up the good work.
I guess i am not the only one thay feels this way
I mean, if you’re in uni you’re already in one of the best possible positions to study physics, so if it really captivates you that much give it a shot, like a minor or a double major if you’re not ready to change yet
U gonna hate it, dont 😂😂
You could "take a few courses" via MIT's Open Courseware. They don't count for credits or anything (hence the quotes) but they include all the course materials including tests so you can see if it's actually something you'd want to study. It's a free test drive you can take infinitely.
becarefull is not that visually easy on math or physics universities course, to taggle that down you need skill and they need time and effort to be develop
Thank you for the ad progress circle. I watched the whole ad in gratitude for the respect of my time and attention.
This topic, especially for many in your regular audience, has been attempted by many from PBS to Sabine to even lectures by Leonard and podcasts in which Penrose himself is explaining. From someone who is not on the level to truly understand despite a lot of attempts and re-watching, as well as an educator, thank you for trying again because I really learned and connected a lot that I had not fully understood before. One of your best videos, and that is saying something.
My thoughts exactly. This is the clearest explanation I've seen thus far for a layperson with keen interest in understanding astrophysics. Superb!
@@mishmash86Fr, I haven't even reached the point in math where you learn calculus and I still felt like I understood this (the concept and not the details tho) 😭
Check out the book in the video by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw called Black holes. If you want to dive deeper, it's an excellent read
Insane that an educational video got to #2 on the overall trending page, goes to show how amazing this channel is
🤣🤣🤣It's funny that you all think this ridiculousness is educational. Shows why this world is in the situation it's in. People really believe pseudo science is real science. Following the herd generally indicates that you're following stupidity. And that's exactly what this nonsense is. A bunch of theoretical nonsense.
Actually it was #1 for some time
okay
I think its great that people still want to learn
It shows that not everyone on UA-cam is an idiot just most people
30:14 This whole motion sequence just blew my mind. I felt like I was the one travelling through it. Phenomenal
Why is it a cardioid shape, not a sphere?
@@MichaelEilers because this black hole is rotating, Veritasium said it right before the time stamp
I hope someone makes a movie with these accurate dimensions (I guess Interstellar is the closest yet)
@@MichaelEilers just as @Kavaitsu said, it is because it's a rotating blackhole, so the centripetal force resulting from it pushes its boundaries outwards from its original spherical shape.
Go check out ScienceClic youtube channel (the one who made the animation). The is one of the best channel here on UA-cam. State of the art videos for understanding advanced astronomical concepts. Maybe the best educational channel. He does videos in french, but I know that he now uploads the same videos on a new English equivalent clone channel with English voice explanation.
What textbook are they referring to here at 33:31? I see that they have mentioned the Book by Brian Cox, But I do see a textbook of some sort whereby explaining the pennrose diagram. Anyone who can tell me this ?
I was actually looking at the same. Couldn't fin it. Please let me know if u get an answer!!
"Introducing Einstein's Relativity" (1st Edition) by Ray d'Inverno - at 33:31 is shown page 244, 18.5 Penrose diagrams of the maximal analytic extensions
Same chapter is in 2nd edition "Introducing Einstein's Relativity: A Deeper Understanding" by Ray d'Inverno and James Vickers on page 361
The brilliance of the people who figured this stuff out is staggering. That Einstein guy truly was pretty smart.
It's also a lot of bloody hard work.

16:42 I didn't go to college, but intuitively came up with the waterfall model after smoking a few bowls back in my 20's. Like the scene from "Lady & the Tramp" if two objects consume from the same source, they'll eventually collide. Where does this model break down? I'm in my 50's now, and still haven't seen anything (that I understand, as I suck at math) that disproves space could be actually be flowing rather than curved.
I think that this is perhaps the best STEM youtube video ever. It's brilliantly made and the diagrams are wonderful. It takes a huge amount of work and knowledge to explain such complex concepts in a way that makes them seem so simple. Truly amazing. Thank you.
Try polish movie „Photon”. Available legally for free in internet. Shows nice vision of beginnings of our world. And S-f future prediction for humanity.
The theory itself is bonkers, but imagine not only thinking about that in maths, but coming up with it in the first place. Einstein was a freak man.
He didn't come up with it he discovered it
@@Manhunternew he did infact invent it. Its like saying people discovered languages and saying i discovered the word for orange.
Einstein built his work on the backs of previous physicists, it wasn't like he pulled everything out of thin air pal
@@Phoenix80675 No it isn't. Language is a human creation that is entirely spawned from humans, mathematics and sciences are the fundamental ways in which the universe works. They exist as they are regardless of whether humans have found out about them or not. Our language however was created by humans and would not exist without them.
@@deserteagle78966 and math is a language. Creating something to describe something is not discovering it. Per the example I already made, an orange is in existence like natural phenomena, and the word orange is used to describe it akin to the way mathematics is used to describe natural phenomena. I can replace every math symbol with whatever I want and it stays the same because the symbols are a human invention and describe them to a human. The numbers don't dictate reality.
The most comprehensive explanation I've ever seen. Everyone only covers the usual and you can predict what they'll say, "... So much gravitational pull, not even light can escape.". I think we all know that ad nauseam now but this video really gets under the hood. ❤❤❤❤
one of the most cinematic youtube videos I've ever watched. incredible work guys.
Ok here are my two points .@veritasium
1. Incredible effort and graphics to show the simplest visualization possible for something complex like this
2. You just reiterated to me how stupid a person I am as even the most dumbed down version went over my head 😂.
This is by far one of the best UA-cam channels, when my kids are older I will get them hooked onto this
Naahh that doesn't make you stupid. But yes humans are limited in how we can think
get them hooked onto it now. Unless they're like babies... but maybe you can still play some sort of lecture or audio about it all day and then maybe they'll somehow understand and that's everything they're going to be thinking about lol.
My 5 year old loved the video where Derek gets wet concrete dumped on him.
It's amazing to think that there are humans who came up with all this. The 19 year old who he mentioned found out about the electron degeneracy thingy, imagine doing that at 19

"I have never seen someone explain such a topic with such ease-love watching these videos!"
Probably the best video I have seen to explain the mathematical consequences of Einstein’s field equations. Well done to the Veritasium team. You keep on producing my favourite science videos.
Einstein theory of relativity is just geometry no science is involved. 🤦♂️
as a child, one of the few times my dad managed to drag me to the library, i remember finding a book covering the basic principles of black holes, not unlike this video
i don't remember how in-depth the book actually went, because i can obviously only remember whatever i was able to comprehend back then, but i remember that it absolutely captivated me, the strange odities and limits of physics that where proven by raw math long before they were actually observed
and i gotta say that this video was just as captivating, if not more, now that i am able to understand the things at least the littlest bit better
makes me relieved to not have lost that curiosity about the topic, as daunting and overwhelming as it may seem to most
For the last several years I’ve always considered Veritasium as a warm up to the next climactic Mark Rober video drop. I don’t know why I felt this way, this channel has become far superior than any other STEM edutainment. I now consider your animated discovery/biography videos to be my most sought after “latest drop” in all of UA-cam.
Mark Rober is for kids and occasionally adults, and Veritasium is for adults and occasionally kids. This has only grown wider over time as Derek's voice has grown smoother and more professional, and Mark's voice has grown shriller and more childish. Not an insult to Mark; just the direction he chose, and inspiring kids is fine. To put it another way, Mark is trending toward Mr. Wizard/Bill Nye, Derek is trending toward Carl Sagan.
Mark focuses to reach a wide audience & inspires them to pick STEM.
Veritasium focuses on those inspired audience & shows them the boundaries of STEM
Both are superior in their fields
And im gonna look for videos like what he did on blue bulb, im sure he snatch this video also
PBS space time is still the king for this field though (no pun intended)
^"Mars Rover" videos. That's what I call him anyways.
Thanks
Derek I don't know how you managed to create a video going over such massive and complex concepts and still making it all make sense. The building blocks, the reveal of blackhole, the transition into Penrose diagram, the theories leading to the white hole, parallel universes and even the antiverse together making this the most epic and informative educational content I've ever seen. It shows how good you truly are at what you do. Thank you for being you.
And in less time than an average university lecture too!
Humblebraggggg
I agree, this 100% is the best veritasium ever
A big issue with sending someone through a singularity to see if it leads to another universe, besides all the ones related to the whole “we’re made of meat” thing, is that if we managed to get someone through a singularity, unless time worked different in that universe somehow, they wouldn’t be able to “turn around” and come back to tell us
Its me, my people sent me here to tell you that our souls are black and that we should turn to the lord
the problem with the einstein rosen bridge is that it is physical garbage and only used to catch peoples attention for propagating physics. parrelel universes or wormholes do not exist. they are just a mathematical hallucination of general relativity and have no physical reasoning
Wouldn’t we be able to assuming it’s all spinning? Using the energy to pull something faster than light seems like it could also be the solution to turning around and relaying that info
If you could enter their universe then it stands to reason that the other universe could enter here. By that logic there's no reason they couldn't "turn around" to come tell us, just as long as they've already entered the other universe. Might be billions of years later from our perspective, but we would find out eventually.
@@OverDunkNessSEVENif it’s billions years later we will definitely not be there to see that haha
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on this topic. The visualizations provided a very clear view on how the obviously complex math led to our theories and what it actually meant, and also did a great job illustrating where our gaps in understanding are and where it might be "just math". Well done.
😅
Such an amazing video Ty! Too bad it seems you can’t return to a previous universe once you’ve passed through to an alternate one, so we’ll never know. Also in regard to the energy buildup at the ring singularity causing it to collapse into its own singularity denying further passage, that would simply be a closing off of one entrance to that universe? The universe would still exist with at minimum whatever information made it across the ring singularity before it collapsed? So interesting to think about.
