As a high school drop out, one of my favorite things to do in high school was get stoned at night and watch The Discovery channel and TLC back when those channels were actually educational. Now they're cesspools of stupid shit for views. Anyway, I digress. Watching The Discovery channel late night was mind blowing and utterly fascinating. Especially any program about space. I can't remember the name of the show anymore but I would watch it for hours and was mind exploding. I seriously credit that for making me the open mined person I am today. Also, I have never heard of "White Holes" before this video and I've got to say, it's kind of make perfect sense? The Bing Bag was a white hole? That just works for my simple little brain.
I learned about white holes at a young age, from a surprising source - Diane Duane's So You Want To Be A Wizard series. It, along with the very basics of black holes, remains the only big-boy physics concept I can truly wrap my head around.
On the topic of what is reality and it being what we precieve and believe to be true..i once had a dream with in a dream. I was sitting up in bed looking at my bedroom doorway and a pair of red glowing eyes appeared in the dark and rushed towards me, leaving a trail of light(like in the orignal star trek movies when they went to warp) i woke up, heart racing and i thought holy eff that was scarry. And then...it happened again and i woke up for real...or did i? Anyway after the first time i genuinely thought i was awake when i wasnt.
This discussion over the nature of the universe is the quintessential example of the argument of how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin. And look at folks trying to take credit for ideas that have been around since before they were born, and even the grand kids are talking about while flying their space planes swishing about at arms length. Buzz Lightyear and beyond!
It is meaningless to ask what happened "before" the Big Bang. Spacetime emerged from that event. Neither space nor time existed prior to this event. Since time did not exist prior to the Big Bang, there is no "before."
Hi Simon, you didn’t mention the theory prompted by the Hyperion Movement? The theory that nothing exists at all. The only thing that exists is numbers, wave forms and mathematical formulas. Matter is simply the evolution of numbers, formulas and wave forms which are eternal and have always existed.
If the multiverse is real then where did they come from. If it’s created by a old multiverse that died out then how did the first original one even started. Simply there must be a creator.
Whoever coined the "multiverse" doesn't know what "universe" means ROTFLOL As for simulation theory, where do we submit bug reports? White holes? Or titanium dioxide pollution? Brane theory: Where string theory evolves into duct tape theory!
The joke is knowing time is not static but fluid. Then looking across millions of light years of unfathomable distance and thinking we know what the universe looks like
just ask the question over and over, where did the other dimentions come from, literally where did a god come from? where did anything come from, how can nothing come from somthing? what was that somthing, what was it man??
if the rules are also different in other universes that may mean we van never go or even understand as there conditions may make it that we literally cant exist there
I always think our entire universe might be one cell on a much larger organism who is roaming a world something much different than ours, yet similar in many ways. Great video!
What I find wild is that I had these same thoughts as you guys completely independently from each other. It makes me wonder if the theory of receiving information telepathically has some merit.
The problem with the analogy is that cells aren't anything like the large scale structure of the universe. There is, at best, slight visual similarity if you squint and let you imagination run wild. The moment you get into any of the details, the analogy just falls apart completely.
“You once stated that there could be an infinite number of parallel universes, so theoretically there could be a universe where I’m smarter than you,” opined John Oliver. “Yes,” replied Prof Hawking. “And also a universe where you’re funny.”
@@hansjuh5588 You may be correct. That’s another big question. If we are in a simulation, then our brains are limited I suppose to only see what we are meant to see. What we call Physics, is just the rules and parameters of the simulation? And yeah, “Infinite”. That word has always bothered me. Especially for our scientists using it. We only know most of what we do of space strictly through our telescopes. But, also, wouldn’t a mathematician or Physicist technically say our laws of math and physics don’t allow something to be infinite. I mean, it’s literally impossible to know imperially isn’t it? The truth is. We thought we were small and insignificant? Literally WAYY smaller of space goes on forever. Lol. I love these ideas just blow my mind.

Simon is the bloated spider at the center of the multiverse gorging himself on endless ad revenue created by his endless avatars, and thus holding all the skiens of reality together. From what I understand his studio is actually on a turtles back.
My response to the idea that we are not “real”, but just a computer simulation is “what difference does it make?” If I stub my toe, it hurts. That’s real enough for me. If it is a simulation, there is no way to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt, since our questioning of the simulation would be programmed into it. As a mental exercise, fine, enjoy, but it’s got no relationship to how I live my life.
Why bother about computer simulations when we already know we live in human simulations. From your own world view and ego to whatever society you live in these are all just things of our own creation as a humans.
Feel so fortunate to just exist lol. The origins of the universe and reality is a total mystery. Of course we've discovered a lot about the universe but not the fundamentals of why and how it came to be in the first place.
Kinda sad tbh. A prisoner who is tortured daily who all of a sudden gets a week off from torture would also be thankful. Give them a great dinner and they’d be even more thankful. But don’t forget it’s relative, they r still a prisoner and will go thru more torture

Toilet paper starts as basically a 2400lb (roughly 1000Kg) massive single roll. It is transported by forklifts with giant clamps on the front, turned sideways, and placed into a large series of machines. First is the unwinder, which spools out the tp to the next machine, which is essentially a giant perforator to separate the single sheet into segments. This is the fed into a "rewinder" (as in to wind again, not reverse) which layers them onto the cardboard core "logs". These logs are then fed through a spinning saw which cuts them into the individual rolls, which are then fed into a conveyor belt. The rolls then either go through a machine which wraps them in paper individually, or continues without wrapping. They are then packaged.

Did they have the concept of the "universe" at that time, or was it just the flat disc Earth with the sun and mood orbiting it? He probably just thought that there were other disc Earths, either with our sun and moon including these other Earths in their orbit (that would explain day and night: the sun would be over some of the other Earths during the day), or the other Earths, each having their own sun and moon. Each disc Earth supported on an infinite tower of turtles, of course. 😀
Agreed. Space observations and theories don't really belong on projects channel. Sometimes I think he rolls dice to decide which channel stuff goes on lol
Thinking the world is flat is a modern idea. Ancient Greeks knew the world was round. So you saying we recently learned the world was round is a recent one is false.
@@Babarudra They mention it was a sphere. *Pythagoras* (c. 570-495 BCE) *Parmenides* (c. 515-450 BCE) mentions it in his writings " on nature" *Plato* (c. 427-347 BCE Plato discussed the concept of a spherical Earth in his philosophical works, including in his dialogue "Timaeus." *Aristotle* (384-322 BCE), another ancient Greek philosopher, also supported the idea of a spherical Earth. He observed that during lunar eclipses, the Earth casts a round shadow on the Moon, which suggests that the Earth is round. *Eratosthenes* (c. 276-194 BCE), a Greek mathematician and astronomer, provided one of the earliest practical demonstrations of the Earth's roundness. He calculated the Earth's circumference with remarkable accuracy using measurements of the angles of the Sun's rays at different locations.
Lister : What time phenomena? Kryten : Like just then, when time repeated itself. The Cat : So, what is it? [Kryten, Rimmer, and Lister stare at Cat] The Cat : Only joking.
The simulation theory really intrigues me- so the basic idea is that the universe was intelligently created by a higher being that exists outside of it and who may or may not interact with it . For some reason that sounds awfully familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on where I've heard that idea before.
Mixing Simulation with the idea of Intelligent Design misses some of the nuance imo One has no idea where or when the start point of the simulation is, or it's purpose. It's just as likely that the simulation starts at the big bang, and everything that happens afterwards is chaotic random nonsense in the confines of a set of universal laws. The rise of organic life on earth being a happy little accident for a lot of us, but not planned to be this way specifically. To assume that the simulation starts 6000 years ago with the "dawn of human civilization", and everything that came before was preprogrammed to appear to have existed for billions of years is incomprehensible. It's probably all automated if there is a sinulation, so it's not entirely impossible to imagine some unimaginable quantum machine running said simulation could do such a thing, but that seems like a stretch to me that it would want to. Humanity is not that special or important. The universe is vast. We and our miniscule experiences are not the center of it all.
We don't. The guy that came up with this idea is a philosopher, not physicist - in short to simulate an universe like ours "the higher civilization" would need MORE particles than could (even in theory) exists in theirs. Remember they would have to simulate everything, like you getting up in the morning or me typing it, but also big things like supernovas, like quantum laws etc - that would require a lot of computer power. Sabine Hossenfelder wrote about and some Chinese professor whose surname I can't recall now.
what if they are using some sort of hyper-quantum computer. by using superpositions they wouldnt need more particles. plus there is this sim theory that things only extist when you look at them or ineract with them. lolz@@RomaInvicta202
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is about multiverses. I read these books about 30 years ago and it was the first time I had heard of multiverses. It's the author's idea of what a multiverse
You are on the right track for sure, but I believe that Stephen King's Dark Tower Series more closely resembles the membrane theory than the multiverse.
That would depend on what color wavelengths they can see. Is their visible spectrum close to ours or a bees? Can they see beyone electromagnetic radiation?
Our sun is considerably brighter than proxima centauri but other than that they’d see our solar system as well as we see theirs if they had the same telescopes as we do🤨
@@timothygreer188 Well if they're using the same telescopes as us then they're receiving the same data to analyse, so same colours regardless of how they subjectively interpret them on their screens. I mean, we don't even tend to capture colours unless we're analysing emission spectra because it decreases resolution and brightness (basically, you need a red, green and blue pixel to together provide one pixel's worth of colour information), plus visible light doesn't penetrate dust well, isn't emitted from cold objects, etc

If the Simulation Hypothesis is correct then that means Creationists were actually right: the universe is the work of an "intelligent designer". And I think that's funny.
@manmoth4 Ah, the problem of infinite regress. A thorn in the side of the simulation hypothesis, pure big bang origins, basically any argument that claims the universe sprang into existence without a creator of some kind, or the "uncaused cause." I don't have any idea what this uncaused cause is from an empirical perspective, but it is a problem in every scientific theory about the origin of the universe. I have been trying to postulate, as an amateur, a way to get around it, but I haven't yet
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle A creator doesn't solve the problem, it just shifts the question. And not so much a problem as just a region of ignorance, something we have yet to understand
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle Here's a potential explanation of how something can seem to have an uncaused cause to us, though, based on what I know of M-theory. It's essentially a matter of limited perspective. In general relativity, time is just another spatial dimension. The difference is that causality points in that direction, which dictates the flow of entropy and information etc. Now imagine we're looking at Pacman universe, 2D. We could take every moment in time from this universe and stack a version of that universe in that moment in time up into a 3D structure, like a pile of animation slides. We'd see it as a fixed, static structure, able to see all moments in time, without the illusion of temporal flow or movement, unlike Pacman living inside it. As a static structure, it makes perfect sense to us that it has a start and end, it has finite dimensions after all, but Pacman sees his structure as everything, and so can't comprehend what could exist before the start of it, especially since he doesn't understand time as a spatial concept like we do. He might even start believing bronze-age Pacman goat-herder myths over Pacman scientists because he desires a sense of closure on some level more than they can provide. So imagine our 4D spacetime existed within a higher dimensional superstructure. There could multiple layers of time dimensions, entire timelines laid out from start to finish, this dimension itself playing through its own time dimension that to an even higher dimensional observer would itself seem static. If you see time in this context then it all starts to make sense a bit. M-theory found that all calculations done with the 4 conventional forces can be perfectly replicated by considering them as a purely gravitational phenomenon when considered in 5D, suggesting that we're just gravitational ripples in a brane encased in a universe of at least 5 dimensions, but probably more. Who knows how weird the universe really is if we're just ripples in a brane, like waves in a bathtub that could never escape to the broader world.
A few factors to tell if you are in a simulation. 1) Maximum speed limit = For us, Speed of light. 2) Pixilation = Plank Length, the shortest distance between 2 points. Meaning the smallest object is not a sphere, but a tetrahedron (pyramid shape) This entry is the resolution. 3) Frame Rate = Shortest time between "frames" known as Plank Time. 4) RAM = How much memory is loaded into the system? For this I ask : With how many humans there are, how many have the same knowledge multiple times over, so collective knowledge, with some knowing things others don't. How fast can we access the information that would be considered common knowledge? 5) Hard Drive Space = Only really needed when loading new data sets, and saving the simulation at key intervals to prevent loss. 6) Sight Distance = The further away, the lower the resolution of the objects. Zooming in bring back some features. We experience this with everything we use, from the naked eye to telescopes. 7) With Max Speed, we can kind of figure out the framerate of the mainframe's processor speed. 8) Knowing the Pixilation, frame rate, and sight distance we can more or less figure out the specifications of the graphics appurature. 9) Back to Hard Drive and Ram, ever get the feeling of dejavu? Perhaps an artifact in the system allows one to remember a person, place, or event that hasn't happened yet, due to a data corruption before a simulation restore without a hard restart of the mainframe to ensure the extra bits have been removed. 10) Welcome to the simulation bits. :P
If there’s an infinite amount of universes then there also an infinite amount that support life. You can’t have a ‘small fraction’ of something that is infinite. Because not matter how many you think there is, there’s always more.
The amount is infinite but the conditions that exists within them vary, in a universe where atoms or something similar can't form then life won't either
The trouble with some of these ideas is that they don't explain anything. If we conjecture that the universe is a simulation we then need to know who or what is doing the simulating and what their universe is like, which is of course impossible and renders the entire exercise useless. What I find more intriguing is the notion that our brains have evolved to deal with a specific set of circumstances - life on one rocky planet orbiting a nondescript star - and as a result our thought processes have built-in limitations that are only now being recognised as we struggle to cope with the implications of quantum theory and the like. A big part of the problem is that we experience time as something that flows - when David Deutsch in his excellent book 'The Fabric Of Reality' demonstrates that it does no such thing.
If we were Pacman, space-time would just be a 3D stack of universe slides, one for each moment in time, and each brain-slide thinking that the moment it's in is the present moment because that's the information state of the brain at that given point in time. Not really a difficult idea once you're familiar with the general principles
Or, quantum mechanics needs to be "relativized," as Lee Smolin said, and time is very real as we can measure it. I mean, QM doesn't even know how to measure things. It just claims it is not possible, desplite measurement being one of the most basic elements of science.
If we're living in a simulation we would only be able to sort it out if the simulation was coded to allow that. I like the idea that pulsars (or indeed any 'naturally occuring' phenomenon) is used in technology to communicate or travel. We do it all the time: our technology frequently harnesses pre-existing processes in useful ways rather than just building everything de novo.
@Djoarhet001 that's not exactly the case though. Think about a young child, they are able to ask any question they want, but we don't have to give an answer.
I'm not an astrophysicist, though that was originally my major in college. However, it seems to me that "dark energy" could be solved by invoking some extra-unuversal force. It could even just be the gravitational pull of other nearby universes, stretching us in every direction.
@@QBCPerditionjust a layperosn here. That's a great idea. That would fit nicely into the model of a multiverse I like. I think about those big bubble wands. Notice that when the bubble is made, the circle of the wand moves faster than the end of the bubble was that first created. Could it also be something like that? We know waves propagate outward. I'd say the edge of inflation has to be really turbulent and still quick moving. I don't view the MV as soap bubbles persay. I see space/time with pockets of different physics everywhere. Soft boundaries made simply by different physics. Like boundaries between fresh and salt water.
I think the difference between crazy and curiosity comes from an acknowledgment that a theory is not of fact until proven. I personally think there's credibility in 'White holes' (horrible name) having Black holes essentially act as recyclers. But this is something I believe and if I were to research/test it to find evidence of it, I would only regard it as a belief until I can definitely say this is a fact of our reality. Stay curious and engage that imagination! We can all agree that no matter what the true answer is, it's crazy all the same :P
What about the scientific theory that in approximately 5 years Simon will have created so much content, that a new object of dense knowledge will be created called "A Simon Hole"
My understanding of the Simulation Theory is that if we (or any being for that matter) are ever sufficiently intelligent and/or advanced enough to create a perfect simulation of life in the universe, then mathematically speaking it is MORE probable that we are already in a simulation than it is that we are/will be the first ones to do so. But as stated in the video and the comments below, "does it matter?" If what I experience is real to me and I believe it is real, then is it any less "real" than what is happening outside of the simulation? If we can truly create a one to one simulation of "reality" then did we not create reality?
That's the point. The simulation theory ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE the universe appears indistinguishable from reality. It has nothing to do with how you should live your life. It's only used to try and explain the universe, and it would probably help us answer other scientific questions as well.
I’m really here in Reality. But reality really is unreal. I still have yet to unify with the nothingness of All, but that is the first and final destination of All impermanent forms.
When they say there was nothing before the big bang, I had always thought that perhaps this has been an infinite expanding and contracting cycle. The other thing that addled my brain was that if electrons circle a nucleus, then who is to say that we aren't just on an electron (planet) orbiting the Sun (Nucleus). And that we are just part of something bigger, like a flea on a dogs back. Plus, if we live in a parallel universe, if you die in this timeline, do you continue to live in the next timeline. Are they multiple universes or versions of us where you went left instead of right. Almost like the film sliding doors, I know, strange, but since a young age, these thoughts have drifted through my mind. Feel free to deride me, but I just thought I'd put my two pennies worth in.
Yes all great ideas to ponder! But unfortunately no proof of any of them has been discovered. I like to think that in the next life, all these secrets will be revealed. But no proof that will happen either. I recall when I was in college, studying electronics and computer science, when I learned exactly how a television worked I felt light headed! Like the secrets of the universe were being revealed to me. In a way, I guess they were. Everyone watches TV, but very few understand how it actually works.
Check out Everetian quantum mechanics/many world interpretation. Not to be confused with the multiveres theory. It's a very plausible interpretation and anything that can happen, does happen. But not to a you very far away...it is all YOU locally, riding different branches of a splitting quantum wave function. Mind blowing stuff. Credit Hughe Everett for the idea. Dr. Sean Carrol explains it well.
The last fringe theory about a scaffolding around a pulsar to send signals across space is very intriguing to me. If we’re going to entertain the other theories seriously then we should give this one it’s due.
Time is just a spatial dimension with the distinction that causality points in that direction. What exactly "before the big bang" would mean depends on which theory you interpret it under, but under M-theory, branes could have a time dimension within their structure but exist within a larger space, within its own embedded time structure. Go from 4D to 5D and you can have entire timelines within a greater timeline, like a stack of movie discs on your shelf, assuming anyone still uses discs... Or it could be that the whole of reality just has one universal time component, who knows.
"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work.

These hypotheses might sound outrageous, but nearly every discovery that we have made in our Universe, has been and is outrageous. I find gravatational lensing just mindblowing! And yet, once you can digest the physics involved, it becomes palatable. But imagine trying to convince someone that the furthest, individual star that we can see was possible due to gravatational lensing, and how far away it actually is, theyd just laugh in your face! 😢
Very true. Although, it must be said that not every 'seemingly outrageous' claim is true, or even worthy of consideration. In the case of the initially outrageous things claimed to exist or confirmed to exist in the Universe, all have one crucial ace up their sleeve - they have a place within existing, well-understood theories. In the case of gravitational lensing, which I agree is incredible; underlying our existing solid understanding of gravity, it's cause, it's method of action, it's effect on spacetime; etc. Likewise, positing the existence of Neutrinos - ghostly, almost mass-less, electric charge-less particles that pass in their billions through us and the entire Earth every second of every day - would be cheap talk if it were not for the fact that existing theories around Beta decay and conservation of angular momentum in particles physics had left space to predict their existence. I can only imagine the bizarre and frankly hard-to-get-your-mind-around discoveries that are yet to come. I'd never want to live forever, but hot damn I'd love to be able to 'return to life' periodically in the future to discover what humans or our descendants managed to learn about the Universe.
Does anyone else feel like we've discovered all the basic stuff and now we've moved on to the Twighlight Zone stuff that is going to melt our brains and make life very weird going forward? Lol
The question I'd rather have answered is Is the answer to the universe something humans have already thought up? Have we already solved it but we looked passed it, or it was too simple that we purposely overlooked it.
Yeah. It’s that inside black holes are universes, which are white holes on the other side. information is never lost to a black hole, it’s simply expelled and reborn into a new universe. That’s why we can never see beyond the edge of space. Because we can’t see outside of the event horizon on the other side. The gravity is too great, because it’s the gravity of our universe/black hole we live in.
You left out one of the more compelling arguments about the simulation hypothesis. If we develop the technology needed to simulate reality for billions (or trillions) of people, then it's existence would imply that it's more likely we're simulated than not. This is just simple statistics, because if we can simulate more people than have ever lived then it's already worse than 50/50 odds you were one of the ones born in "reality" as compared to those living a simulated life.
Here’s a fun question that always scares people shitless. What’s scarier, the idea that we are alone in the universe or the idea that we aren’t alone in the universe?
I love all these different theories and ponder them all regularly myself. But at the end of the day I'm reminded of a quote from Terry Pratchett's book Small Gods. "We are here and it is now."
It looks like the universe could be 26.7 billion years old now. This does help explain how a star in the milky way can be 14.5 billion years old. JWST is on the lookout for more examples of 'Impossible early galaxies'. This is why I love science. New information changes everything and it's wonderful and daunting at the same time.
My favorite Multiverse Theory is during our deaths. We go to the universe that our past life pointed us towards. You lied through your whole life. Your next life is one of constant lies. You are honest with yourself. You go to a place of more enlightenment. It is the choices of this life. That determines what you are worthy of in the next transition. But of course this is just my own opinion/theory!
but.... are the creatures simulating us.... like us? ever play spore? what about sim ant? nothing says the program looks like the creator of the program
Possibly, but if we personally had such technology, trying to simulate actual historical events would be the priority above experimenting with random parameters, assuming the universe is deterministic on some level and this is possible, so it's probably more likely on balance. Granted that the species doing the simulation might be a completely different alien species in the universe that isn't too interested in what the monkeys from Earth were doing before we destroyed ourselves anyway, we might just incidentally be part of the simulation
So, what is it? I've never seen one before - no one has - but I'm guessing it's a white hole. A *white* hole? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the Universe; a white hole returns it. So, that thing's spewing time... ...back into the Universe? Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time phenomena on board. So, what is it? I've never seen one before - no one has - but I'm guessing it's a white hole. A *white* hole?

there's not such a thing as the multiverse theory. The multiverse theory is not an official standalone theory but is rather a concept that emerges from several different theoretical frameworks in physics and cosmology.
We live in a simulated reality. We're watching this video. It's actually insane. Why do we need to be more extra and have this idea that some advanced beings created a computer simulation. Living in this simulated reality becomes so convoluted and ridiculous.
It isn't that there's absolutely no evidence for these theories, it's that these theories are only loosely supported at best AND they are not prohibited by our current understanding of physics. The multiverse theory for example is supported by the mysterious cold spot on the CMB. It's a non-uniform event with energy appearing to leave. Where did it go? Perhaps to another neighboring universe?
ok. simulation hypothesis: if this is a simulation, and I were to wake up from it, I would then be in reality, right? but...given how advanced computers are in this simulation, able to simulate things themselves...what if the reality I wake up in, is itself a simulation? ...this goes on forever 🤔🤷
7:00 "Einstein's theories are now questioned by Quantum Mechanics." That's a bit like saying Germ theory is being questioned by the theory of Evolution. They're not trying to explain the same thing.

I learned about white holes at a young age, from a surprising source - Diane Duane's So You Want To Be A Wizard series. It, along with the very basics of black holes, remains the only big-boy physics concept I can truly wrap my head around.
On the topic of what is reality and it being what we precieve and believe to be true..i once had a dream with in a dream. I was sitting up in bed looking at my bedroom doorway and a pair of red glowing eyes appeared in the dark and rushed towards me, leaving a trail of light(like in the orignal star trek movies when they went to warp) i woke up, heart racing and i thought holy eff that was scarry. And then...it happened again and i woke up for real...or did i? Anyway after the first time i genuinely thought i was awake when i wasnt.
Dreams within dreams are always fun. Or realizing your still in a dream without having woken up yet.
This discussion over the nature of the universe is the quintessential example of the argument of how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin. And look at folks trying to take credit for ideas that have been around since before they were born, and even the grand kids are talking about while flying their space planes swishing about at arms length. Buzz Lightyear and beyond!
It is meaningless to ask what happened "before" the Big Bang. Spacetime emerged from that event. Neither space nor time existed prior to this event. Since time did not exist prior to the Big Bang, there is no "before."
Hi Simon, you didn’t mention the theory prompted by the Hyperion Movement? The theory that nothing exists at all. The only thing that exists is numbers, wave forms and mathematical formulas. Matter is simply the evolution of numbers, formulas and wave forms which are eternal and have always existed.

The problem with the analogy is that cells aren't anything like the large scale structure of the universe. There is, at best, slight visual similarity if you squint and let you imagination run wild. The moment you get into any of the details, the analogy just falls apart completely.

If the universe is a simulation (illusion), then your arguments are also false and do not exist, and your statements make no sense.
My response to the idea that we are not “real”, but just a computer simulation is “what difference does it make?” If I stub my toe, it hurts. That’s real enough for me. If it is a simulation, there is no way to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt, since our questioning of the simulation would be programmed into it. As a mental exercise, fine, enjoy, but it’s got no relationship to how I live my life.

When will there be a miniprojects channel where Simon tells us about how toilet paper and pencils etc are made?
Simon...get on it. I want to know history and how dish towels are made. Miniprojects: The towel

@mikenapier3598 always bring a towel 42!
Could he not just work for How It's Made? I do like the robot sounding woman with the bad puns, but Simon would be a twist
Toilet paper starts as basically a 2400lb (roughly 1000Kg) massive single roll. It is transported by forklifts with giant clamps on the front, turned sideways, and placed into a large series of machines. First is the unwinder, which spools out the tp to the next machine, which is essentially a giant perforator to separate the single sheet into segments. This is the fed into a "rewinder" (as in to wind again, not reverse) which layers them onto the cardboard core "logs". These logs are then fed through a spinning saw which cuts them into the individual rolls, which are then fed into a conveyor belt. The rolls then either go through a machine which wraps them in paper individually, or continues without wrapping. They are then packaged.
Source : I work for a company that produces toilet paper for a significant portion of Texas penitentiary facilities.

@@goosenotmaverick1156 Do MMs even grow in that part of the world?
Did they have the concept of the "universe" at that time, or was it just the flat disc Earth with the sun and mood orbiting it?
He probably just thought that there were other disc Earths, either with our sun and moon including these other Earths in their orbit (that would explain day and night: the sun would be over some of the other Earths during the day), or the other Earths, each having their own sun and moon.
Each disc Earth supported on an infinite tower of turtles, of course. 😀

*Eratosthenes* (c. 276-194 BCE), a Greek mathematician and astronomer, provided one of the earliest practical demonstrations of the Earth's roundness. He calculated the Earth's circumference with remarkable accuracy using measurements of the angles of the Sun's rays at different locations.

The simulation theory really intrigues me- so the basic idea is that the universe was intelligently created by a higher being that exists outside of it and who may or may not interact with it . For some reason that sounds awfully familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on where I've heard that idea before.
The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy?
The hyper intelligent pan-dimensional beings ( 🐁 🐁) in the book fit that description too.
Mixing Simulation with the idea of Intelligent Design misses some of the nuance imo
One has no idea where or when the start point of the simulation is, or it's purpose.
It's just as likely that the simulation starts at the big bang, and everything that happens afterwards is chaotic random nonsense in the confines of a set of universal laws. The rise of organic life on earth being a happy little accident for a lot of us, but not planned to be this way specifically.
To assume that the simulation starts 6000 years ago with the "dawn of human civilization", and everything that came before was preprogrammed to appear to have existed for billions of years is incomprehensible.
It's probably all automated if there is a sinulation, so it's not entirely impossible to imagine some unimaginable quantum machine running said simulation could do such a thing, but that seems like a stretch to me that it would want to.
Humanity is not that special or important.
The universe is vast. We and our miniscule experiences are not the center of it all.
It's quite a pointless theory, it doesn't explain how the universe of the simulators came into being, and there's no way to proof any of it.
We don't. The guy that came up with this idea is a philosopher, not physicist - in short to simulate an universe like ours "the higher civilization" would need MORE particles than could (even in theory) exists in theirs. Remember they would have to simulate everything, like you getting up in the morning or me typing it, but also big things like supernovas, like quantum laws etc - that would require a lot of computer power. Sabine Hossenfelder wrote about and some Chinese professor whose surname I can't recall now.
what if they are using some sort of hyper-quantum computer. by using superpositions they wouldnt need more particles. plus there is this sim theory that things only extist when you look at them or ineract with them. lolz@@RomaInvicta202

Rougly the same we wpuld be able to see from them...

That would depend on what color wavelengths they can see. Is their visible spectrum close to ours or a bees? Can they see beyone electromagnetic radiation?
Our sun is considerably brighter than proxima centauri but other than that they’d see our solar system as well as we see theirs if they had the same telescopes as we do🤨
@@timothygreer188 Well if they're using the same telescopes as us then they're receiving the same data to analyse, so same colours regardless of how they subjectively interpret them on their screens. I mean, we don't even tend to capture colours unless we're analysing emission spectra because it decreases resolution and brightness (basically, you need a red, green and blue pixel to together provide one pixel's worth of colour information), plus visible light doesn't penetrate dust well, isn't emitted from cold objects, etc

If the Simulation Hypothesis is correct then that means Creationists were actually right: the universe is the work of an "intelligent designer". And I think that's funny.
Well there's got to be an original real universe, so the question just shifts to how that got created
@manmoth4 Ah, the problem of infinite regress. A thorn in the side of the simulation hypothesis, pure big bang origins, basically any argument that claims the universe sprang into existence without a creator of some kind, or the "uncaused cause." I don't have any idea what this uncaused cause is from an empirical perspective, but it is a problem in every scientific theory about the origin of the universe. I have been trying to postulate, as an amateur, a way to get around it, but I haven't yet
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle A creator doesn't solve the problem, it just shifts the question. And not so much a problem as just a region of ignorance, something we have yet to understand
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle Here's a potential explanation of how something can seem to have an uncaused cause to us, though, based on what I know of M-theory. It's essentially a matter of limited perspective. In general relativity, time is just another spatial dimension. The difference is that causality points in that direction, which dictates the flow of entropy and information etc.
Now imagine we're looking at Pacman universe, 2D. We could take every moment in time from this universe and stack a version of that universe in that moment in time up into a 3D structure, like a pile of animation slides. We'd see it as a fixed, static structure, able to see all moments in time, without the illusion of temporal flow or movement, unlike Pacman living inside it. As a static structure, it makes perfect sense to us that it has a start and end, it has finite dimensions after all, but Pacman sees his structure as everything, and so can't comprehend what could exist before the start of it, especially since he doesn't understand time as a spatial concept like we do. He might even start believing bronze-age Pacman goat-herder myths over Pacman scientists because he desires a sense of closure on some level more than they can provide.
So imagine our 4D spacetime existed within a higher dimensional superstructure. There could multiple layers of time dimensions, entire timelines laid out from start to finish, this dimension itself playing through its own time dimension that to an even higher dimensional observer would itself seem static.
If you see time in this context then it all starts to make sense a bit. M-theory found that all calculations done with the 4 conventional forces can be perfectly replicated by considering them as a purely gravitational phenomenon when considered in 5D, suggesting that we're just gravitational ripples in a brane encased in a universe of at least 5 dimensions, but probably more. Who knows how weird the universe really is if we're just ripples in a brane, like waves in a bathtub that could never escape to the broader world.
to be clear. cosmology does not describe the big bang as an explosion. a more accurate name would be the everywhere strech.
A few factors to tell if you are in a simulation.
1) Maximum speed limit = For us, Speed of light.
2) Pixilation = Plank Length, the shortest distance between 2 points. Meaning the smallest object is not a sphere, but a tetrahedron (pyramid shape) This entry is the resolution.
3) Frame Rate = Shortest time between "frames" known as Plank Time.
4) RAM = How much memory is loaded into the system? For this I ask : With how many humans there are, how many have the same knowledge multiple times over, so collective knowledge, with some knowing things others don't. How fast can we access the information that would be considered common knowledge?
5) Hard Drive Space = Only really needed when loading new data sets, and saving the simulation at key intervals to prevent loss.
6) Sight Distance = The further away, the lower the resolution of the objects. Zooming in bring back some features. We experience this with everything we use, from the naked eye to telescopes.
7) With Max Speed, we can kind of figure out the framerate of the mainframe's processor speed.
8) Knowing the Pixilation, frame rate, and sight distance we can more or less figure out the specifications of the graphics appurature.
9) Back to Hard Drive and Ram, ever get the feeling of dejavu? Perhaps an artifact in the system allows one to remember a person, place, or event that hasn't happened yet, due to a data corruption before a simulation restore without a hard restart of the mainframe to ensure the extra bits have been removed.
10) Welcome to the simulation bits. :P
this just itches the right spot !!!

If there’s an infinite amount of universes then there also an infinite amount that support life. You can’t have a ‘small fraction’ of something that is infinite. Because not matter how many you think there is, there’s always more.
The amount is infinite but the conditions that exists within them vary, in a universe where atoms or something similar can't form then life won't either
@@fakename1656 agree. But the amount that support life would still be infinite.
My head just exploded.
The trouble with some of these ideas is that they don't explain anything. If we conjecture that the universe is a simulation we then need to know who or what is doing the simulating and what their universe is like, which is of course impossible and renders the entire exercise useless. What I find more intriguing is the notion that our brains have evolved to deal with a specific set of circumstances - life on one rocky planet orbiting a nondescript star - and as a result our thought processes have built-in limitations that are only now being recognised as we struggle to cope with the implications of quantum theory and the like. A big part of the problem is that we experience time as something that flows - when David Deutsch in his excellent book 'The Fabric Of Reality' demonstrates that it does no such thing.
If we were Pacman, space-time would just be a 3D stack of universe slides, one for each moment in time, and each brain-slide thinking that the moment it's in is the present moment because that's the information state of the brain at that given point in time. Not really a difficult idea once you're familiar with the general principles
Or, quantum mechanics needs to be "relativized," as Lee Smolin said, and time is very real as we can measure it. I mean, QM doesn't even know how to measure things. It just claims it is not possible, desplite measurement being one of the most basic elements of science.
If we're living in a simulation we would only be able to sort it out if the simulation was coded to allow that.
I like the idea that pulsars (or indeed any 'naturally occuring' phenomenon) is used in technology to communicate or travel. We do it all the time: our technology frequently harnesses pre-existing processes in useful ways rather than just building everything de novo.
Feels like if we weren't allowed to figure it out we wouldn't even be able to ask rather we live in a simulation or not.
@Djoarhet001 that's not exactly the case though. Think about a young child, they are able to ask any question they want, but we don't have to give an answer.
I am soooo glad I am not real. What a relief!!!
One mind blowing aspect of the big bang is that the universe is expanding faster and faster giving rise to the need of dark energy to drive it.
I'm not an astrophysicist, though that was originally my major in college. However, it seems to me that "dark energy" could be solved by invoking some extra-unuversal force. It could even just be the gravitational pull of other nearby universes, stretching us in every direction.
@@QBCPerditionjust a layperosn here. That's a great idea. That would fit nicely into the model of a multiverse I like.
I think about those big bubble wands. Notice that when the bubble is made, the circle of the wand moves faster than the end of the bubble was that first created. Could it also be something like that? We know waves propagate outward. I'd say the edge of inflation has to be really turbulent and still quick moving.
I don't view the MV as soap bubbles persay. I see space/time with pockets of different physics everywhere. Soft boundaries made simply by different physics. Like boundaries between fresh and salt water.

Same as me I watch and try to put things together and find an answer. When I tell friends there are baffled and they call me crazy 😂
I think the difference between crazy and curiosity comes from an acknowledgment that a theory is not of fact until proven. I personally think there's credibility in 'White holes' (horrible name) having Black holes essentially act as recyclers. But this is something I believe and if I were to research/test it to find evidence of it, I would only regard it as a belief until I can definitely say this is a fact of our reality. Stay curious and engage that imagination! We can all agree that no matter what the true answer is, it's crazy all the same :P

What about the scientific theory that in approximately 5 years Simon will have created so much content, that a new object of dense knowledge will be created called "A Simon Hole"
I don't think he's planning to move into adult entertainment, that'd be a bold side-channel
My understanding of the Simulation Theory is that if we (or any being for that matter) are ever sufficiently intelligent and/or advanced enough to create a perfect simulation of life in the universe, then mathematically speaking it is MORE probable that we are already in a simulation than it is that we are/will be the first ones to do so.
But as stated in the video and the comments below, "does it matter?" If what I experience is real to me and I believe it is real, then is it any less "real" than what is happening outside of the simulation? If we can truly create a one to one simulation of "reality" then did we not create reality?
That's the point. The simulation theory ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE the universe appears indistinguishable from reality. It has nothing to do with how you should live your life. It's only used to try and explain the universe, and it would probably help us answer other scientific questions as well.

When they say there was nothing before the big bang, I had always thought that perhaps this has been an infinite expanding and contracting cycle. The other thing that addled my brain was that if electrons circle a nucleus, then who is to say that we aren't just on an electron (planet) orbiting the Sun (Nucleus). And that we are just part of something bigger, like a flea on a dogs back. Plus, if we live in a parallel universe, if you die in this timeline, do you continue to live in the next timeline. Are they multiple universes or versions of us where you went left instead of right. Almost like the film sliding doors, I know, strange, but since a young age, these thoughts have drifted through my mind. Feel free to deride me, but I just thought I'd put my two pennies worth in.
Yes all great ideas to ponder! But unfortunately no proof of any of them has been discovered. I like to think that in the next life, all these secrets will be revealed. But no proof that will happen either.
I recall when I was in college, studying electronics and computer science, when I learned exactly how a television worked I felt light headed! Like the secrets of the universe were being revealed to me. In a way, I guess they were. Everyone watches TV, but very few understand how it actually works.
Check out Everetian quantum mechanics/many world interpretation. Not to be confused with the multiveres theory.
It's a very plausible interpretation and anything that can happen, does happen. But not to a you very far away...it is all YOU locally, riding different branches of a splitting quantum wave function. Mind blowing stuff.
Credit Hughe Everett for the idea. Dr. Sean Carrol explains it well.
Actually,Einstein knew all about quantum mechanics and one of his famous quote s is "Reality is an illusion albeit a persistent one."
The last fringe theory about a scaffolding around a pulsar to send signals across space is very intriguing to me. If we’re going to entertain the other theories seriously then we should give this one it’s due.
The multiverse is real. All of the universes are stacked on top of one another and turtle shaped. It's turtles all the way down.
Isn't "before the big bang" impossible as time itself started there?
Time is just a spatial dimension with the distinction that causality points in that direction. What exactly "before the big bang" would mean depends on which theory you interpret it under, but under M-theory, branes could have a time dimension within their structure but exist within a larger space, within its own embedded time structure. Go from 4D to 5D and you can have entire timelines within a greater timeline, like a stack of movie discs on your shelf, assuming anyone still uses discs...
Or it could be that the whole of reality just has one universal time component, who knows.
Depends on the theory. Sometimes time just compresses, but never reaches a singularity, leaving room for some continuity.
"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work. When you go to church. When you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." -- Morpheus
These hypotheses might sound outrageous, but nearly every discovery that we have made in our Universe, has been and is outrageous. I find gravatational lensing just mindblowing! And yet, once you can digest the physics involved, it becomes palatable. But imagine trying to convince someone that the furthest, individual star that we can see was possible due to gravatational lensing, and how far away it actually is, theyd just laugh in your face! 😢
Very true. Although, it must be said that not every 'seemingly outrageous' claim is true, or even worthy of consideration. In the case of the initially outrageous things claimed to exist or confirmed to exist in the Universe, all have one crucial ace up their sleeve - they have a place within existing, well-understood theories. In the case of gravitational lensing, which I agree is incredible; underlying our existing solid understanding of gravity, it's cause, it's method of action, it's effect on spacetime; etc. Likewise, positing the existence of Neutrinos - ghostly, almost mass-less, electric charge-less particles that pass in their billions through us and the entire Earth every second of every day - would be cheap talk if it were not for the fact that existing theories around Beta decay and conservation of angular momentum in particles physics had left space to predict their existence.
I can only imagine the bizarre and frankly hard-to-get-your-mind-around discoveries that are yet to come. I'd never want to live forever, but hot damn I'd love to be able to 'return to life' periodically in the future to discover what humans or our descendants managed to learn about the Universe.
Does anyone else feel like we've discovered all the basic stuff and now we've moved on to the Twighlight Zone stuff that is going to melt our brains and make life very weird going forward? Lol
The question I'd rather have answered is
Is the answer to the universe something humans have already thought up? Have we already solved it but we looked passed it, or it was too simple that we purposely overlooked it.
Yeah. It’s that inside black holes are universes, which are white holes on the other side. information is never lost to a black hole, it’s simply expelled and reborn into a new universe. That’s why we can never see beyond the edge of space. Because we can’t see outside of the event horizon on the other side. The gravity is too great, because it’s the gravity of our universe/black hole we live in.
@@macynavarro9781 edge of space? It sounds like you assume a thing that we can't know..
The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything has been well known since the late 70s.
@@mallninja9805 Where can we see that information?
@@mallninja9805I would like to know as well
I love that you have dismissed that "past was so dumb they thought the world was flat", but than double down on it to short-hand how dumb they were
You left out one of the more compelling arguments about the simulation hypothesis. If we develop the technology needed to simulate reality for billions (or trillions) of people, then it's existence would imply that it's more likely we're simulated than not. This is just simple statistics, because if we can simulate more people than have ever lived then it's already worse than 50/50 odds you were one of the ones born in "reality" as compared to those living a simulated life.
Multiverse is another universe's sideproject
Here’s a fun question that always scares people shitless. What’s scarier, the idea that we are alone in the universe or the idea that we aren’t alone in the universe?
In a truly infinite universe there would be an infinite number of you, me and everyone else.
That is if you're speaking of true infinity.
What made Einstein and his brethren so great was the fact that they'd fully support their own theories being questioned by modern physics.
All scientists have to have their findings questioned. That's what peer review journals are for. The findings need to be replicated by others
@@NealBurkard-ut1oo indeed
I love all these different theories and ponder them all regularly myself. But at the end of the day I'm reminded of a quote from Terry Pratchett's book Small Gods. "We are here and it is now."
It looks like the universe could be 26.7 billion years old now. This does help explain how a star in the milky way can be 14.5 billion years old. JWST is on the lookout for more examples of 'Impossible early galaxies'. This is why I love science. New information changes everything and it's wonderful and daunting at the same time.
No it doesn't. The guy is a clown.
Plot Twist: The creation of a Black Hole in our universe is actually the Big Bang of another universe.
My favorite Multiverse Theory is during our deaths. We go to the universe that our past life pointed us towards.
You lied through your whole life. Your next life is one of constant lies. You are honest with yourself. You go to a place of more enlightenment. It is the choices of this life. That determines what you are worthy of in the next transition.
But of course this is just my own opinion/theory!
but.... are the creatures simulating us.... like us?
ever play spore? what about sim ant? nothing says the program looks like the creator of the program
also, how do we know simon is real? he seems more like an ai powered entity every video
Possibly, but if we personally had such technology, trying to simulate actual historical events would be the priority above experimenting with random parameters, assuming the universe is deterministic on some level and this is possible, so it's probably more likely on balance. Granted that the species doing the simulation might be a completely different alien species in the universe that isn't too interested in what the monkeys from Earth were doing before we destroyed ourselves anyway, we might just incidentally be part of the simulation
Not an explosion...
So, what is it?
I've never seen one before - no one has - but I'm guessing it's a white hole.
A *white* hole?
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the Universe; a white hole returns it.
So, that thing's spewing time...
...back into the Universe?
Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time phenomena on board.

There is so many different ways that I should have died by now, that I'm all but convinced that when you die, you somehow wake up the next day in another extremely similar universe!
Sounds crazy I know...
But odds are.......
I shouldn't be here.....
But here still I am ....
Scarred but alive....
We are rushing madly to bring AI to the singularity after which, the exponential growth in AI's knowledge and capabilities developed the program we are currently in, rushing madly to bring AI to the singularity, after which...
there's not such a thing as the multiverse theory. The multiverse theory is not an official standalone theory but is rather a concept that emerges from several different theoretical frameworks in physics and cosmology.
We live in a simulated reality. We're watching this video. It's actually insane. Why do we need to be more extra and have this idea that some advanced beings created a computer simulation. Living in this simulated reality becomes so convoluted and ridiculous.
It isn't that there's absolutely no evidence for these theories, it's that these theories are only loosely supported at best AND they are not prohibited by our current understanding of physics. The multiverse theory for example is supported by the mysterious cold spot on the CMB. It's a non-uniform event with energy appearing to leave. Where did it go? Perhaps to another neighboring universe?
ok. simulation hypothesis: if this is a simulation, and I were to wake up from it, I would then be in reality, right? but...given how advanced computers are in this simulation, able to simulate things themselves...what if the reality I wake up in, is itself a simulation? ...this goes on forever 🤔🤷
7:00 "Einstein's theories are now questioned by Quantum Mechanics."
That's a bit like saying Germ theory is being questioned by the theory of Evolution. They're not trying to explain the same thing.
