      On the other hand, assuming the current star formation rate constant over time would lead to a too low result (by one to two orders of magnitude). So there have been episodes of more active star formation.

    I feel like I’m one of the few people that doesn’t put a special emphasis on the “fine tuned” constants of the universe. We have no credible evidence to suggest that if the constants were different that complexity & chemistry would be somehow dead & lifeless for the eternal future. Rather than taking a route to some unknown physics & alien chemistry. Some people would call that crazy but what’s more crazy is assuming that some deterministic metaphysical law spits out infinite universes ( most of them being mysteriously dead ) or some deterministic deity that’s outside space/time somehow computes this one universe to be this way etc. We don’t know what particles ( in the most fundamental sense ) are or how the constants evolved to give us our emergent & complex 4d spacetime much less the ontological notion that this spacetime is the only possible value that could give rise to many body complex systems.

      @@kw8274 i agree that a singular deterministic will driving the vast, boundless enormity of existence is equally as implausible as such enormity being largely outwardly recursive as a manifestation of deterministic math. your assertion is that the way things are now are not necessarily prerequisite for equal or greater total system complexity; humans are bound by the inexorable grip of perceptual geocentrism, and our logic demands a linear progression of ideas that proves cumbersome in truly out-of-the-box thinking.
      i'm sure if I understood more about the emergent properties of space-time and the topological manifolds which define it, i'd be able to offer a useful commentary, but in lieu of that I'll just restate what you said slightly differently so it looks like i offered a novel idea... i mean, uh, well, consider this: what you're saying here is fundamentally no different than what the so-called "many worlds hypothesis" proponents are suggesting, except you're taking in a different direction. rather than imply that quantum events diverge such that infinite sets of universe-states can be generated from any singular "waveform collapse", there are infinite "waveform collapses" that can generate a singular universe-state. the distinction is subtle, but basically what I'm implying is that instead of starting with x=0 and iterating incrementally, we take vaguely determined parameters like "complex life" and suppose that any number of miniscule gluon nudges and cosmological constant shifts might lead us to achieving those parameters, but in ways we couldn't feasibly comprehend due to the bias of our limited human perception.
      when you're discussing abstractions like the intricacies of multiple universes and time-line bifurcations, you might as well double down and get REAL weird with it, in my opinion. it seems that determinism is the kicker here, isn't it? this is a question of such dubious importance and quizzical complexity, we've been arguing about it for as long as there were two humans with separate philosophies to argue it with. if you think i've perceived your intentions correctly, i'd like to tempt you with one last morsel of speculation, presumably one you'd like to respond to in turn. what if this ephemeral teleology that haunts our collective consciousness is, in fact, as real as any fundamental force but rather than being the will of a singular all-too-human architect-consciousness or the unerring procession of causality as determined by an ontological pinball game set into motion at the big-bang, what if both were true? what if determinism's practical manifestation in our observable cosmos is an illusion of a greater phenomenon, namely, that of the whistling arc of the Arrow of Time whose fletching is causality and whose head is meaning itself. a teleological warhead propagating throughout the boundless medium of creation that folds so much interconnectedness and relational information in on itself that a mass-accretion disk of complexity tugs on the past and future with equal intensity; a determinism whose inevitability is precise and methodical, but impersonal and excessively iterant only in that it is equally individual for every energy transfer that occurs along every field-line in every plane of reference and in every moment in time.

    I would think that in the neutron-lighter universe described around minute 42-43, the whole "No stars" thing seems a bit of a stretch. Wouldn't stars simply begin with triple alpha, if they don't have deuterium to fuse? The smallest viable size for a star would be larger than in our universe, red dwarfs which would stop fusion before beginning triple alpha would be brown dwarfs, but fusion and stars should still be possible in such a universe.

    • @plvmbvm513

      I was thinking about that too.
      What I realized though, was that helium fusion basically marks the end of the main series lifetime for a star. They expand and depending on mass may fuse several different additional elements after helium, but the time a star has left is very short by comparison to its lifetime while fusing hydrogen.
      So any stars that formed would basically be end of lifetime giants and likely die out after only a few million years

      The whole "heavier proton" thing is where this video went off the rails for me. A neutron is basically a proton + an electron with some mass lost as binding energy. For protons to be heavier than neutrons would require different quarks and thus entirely different physics. There's no way to predict what would come from that.

    To an outside observer, Time passes slower as something approaches a large gravity field. At a sufficiently large gravity field (eg, the event horizon of a black hole), time stops completely. Likewise, time slows as an object's speed approaches the speed of light. Therefore, time isn't uniform throughout the universe -- it depends on velocity through the surrounding gravity field.
    Ie a black hole visible through a telescope for, say, 14 billion years was created just a few minutes ago according to clocks orbiting at the event horizon.
    How can one conceive of a "universe one second old" when time has stopped?

    • @WildWombats

So there would still be heavier elements, but a lot less and a lot sooner.

    The universe has never been one second old.. And here is why..
    People have a very poor understanding of what the word 'infinite' actually means.. This is not any kind of 'fault', but just that we have evolved within the confines of what appears to be a finite environment, and we thus try to look at things in finite ways, also justifying those 'finite' thoughts. When I first approached the 'problem' I had the same difficulties, so it takes our minds a lot of effort to reach another level of understanding, but it IS achievable..
    Firstly, there cannot be more than one 'instance' of infinitude, otherwise a secondary 'thing' would render them both 'finite'. So we are describing a 'oneness'.. Also, it can have no 'beginning' nor 'ending' as these would also necessitate a secondary 'thing' (or the utter nonsense of a 'nothing'!). Then, we have to admit that it can only be the one thing that interconnects all other 'things', and we deduce this to be 'Space', necessarily..
    All references to 'size' or 'direction' do not apply to the nature of infinitude, and thus have no relevance to our understanding of the true nature of existence. 'Measurement' has limitations, so we cannot understand the true infinite nature of existence simply by measuring it....
