    Do You Think We Live In A Multiverse?

      No. We live within an illusion created by bonded electrons. There are other illusions but they are irrelevant to ours and do not mix (like a Caucasian beverage). I think magnetism is what you call gravity and these electrons exist everywhere at once, until bonding provides observation, within a very old circular expanse some call Tao. Our Universe is only a representation of that one's much earlier existence. ua-cam.com/video/1yXUrpj8PVY/v-deo.html

    Photographer here. Chuck, it's called shortened or compressed perspective. Depth of field has to do with shallow (large aperture) or deep (small aperture) focus. With a small aperture foreground and background are all in focus, large aperture, subject is sharp background is out of focus. Anyway, I love the show and the interactions between you, Dr. Tyson and all the guests are both fun and so educational. As a self proclaimed nerd (could you tell) I'm glad the show exists. If, of course, anything really exists. Hmmmmm???

    Two comments, one serious, one tongue in cheek.
    The serious one: one of the reasons why I love watching these videos is because of the guests that are on, the Star Talk team always finds these really smart and interesting people.
    Tongue in cheek: is there a debate going in the astronomy / astrophysics community between flat-universers and spherical universers?

    • @vidyaishaya4839
      @vidyaishaya4839 Рік тому

      Yes, it's not really a debate, but a discussion. So far the evidence is more on the side of flat, but the curvature could be large enough that we can't yet determine the final answer.

      ​@Awilmy Martinez Perhaps if it were a "spherical explosion." However, I don't think we really know for sure. Therefore, until we get the answer to that question we really have no idea as to if everything from the Big Bang does fly in all directions. For all we know, the explosion could have angled everything in one or two directions only. We just don't have an idea for sure.

    4:20 wonderful callback Niel. That videoo had me in tears over this very topic, and I commented on that part the other day, so to see it here again has me giggling to myself again. I've had to rewind the video 3 times because I keep laughing to myself imagining an emotionally unstable universe talking in Chuck's voice about how it's "not good enough," but simultaneously "too good for everyone else so that's why no other universes have shown themselves." (Or that it's too good to talk to anyone else if the multiverse is real instead. Had to back up again once that popped in my mind and I broke down in laughter and simultaneously had an existential crisis. Always an adventure watching these.) So yeah, keep up the incredible work, and I look forward to the next one 🥰🤣

    21:32 “flat” doesn’t exactly define a unique global shape (manifold) for the Universe
    For instance, the 3-Torus (T^3) can be given a flat metric, if we embed it in R^6. Indeed, just take T^3 = S^1 x S^1 x S^1 (embedded in R^2 x R^2 x R^2), and imbue it with the product metric on 3 copies of S^1 (which is a 1-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and therefore automatically flat)

    • @Muhahahahaz
      @Muhahahahaz Рік тому

      Important note: Tori are not inherently curved! It might seem like the usual Torus/“donut” (T^2) could never be flat, but that’s only because we embed it in R^3 and force it to inherit the usual R^3 metric
      (You might notice that the 2 copies of S^1 are oddly asymmetric - longitude goes around the thickness of the donut, but latitude strangely moves around either the “inside” of the hole or the “outside” of the donut. This is because we are essentially looking at a stereographic projection of what a symmetric torus would actually look like in higher dimensions! Similar to drawing a cube on paper, where the top face is in the middle, and the bottom face is a square around it, with the edges that connect them moving diagonally outwards from the middle)
      Instead, we should embed the 2-Torus in 4 dimensions (R^4), by giving each generating circle S^1 its own copy of R^2 to live in. This gives us something called the Clifford Torus, which remains perfectly flat
      (It basically has the same metric as T^3, except with one less copy of S^1)

    The universe's structure is complex and fascinating: galaxies are distributed unevenly, influenced by cosmic expansion, dark matter, and the curvature of spacetime. While the concept of spacetime as a fluid is intriguing, current models depict it as a dynamic, flexible fabric rather than a liquid. There isn't a definitive center of the universe; it's expanding uniformly, which complicates our understanding of a universal center. Far-off galaxies are not reflections of our past selves but rather snapshots of their current state, affected by the finite speed of light. The universe could be flat or have a more complex shape, such as a torus or a closed spherical form. Light can't escape a black hole due to the extreme curvature of spacetime near the event horizon. As for stability, spacetime can be disturbed by massive objects and energy, but overall, it follows the rules set by general relativity. Could wormholes ever be stabilized to allow practical travel through them, and how do various geometries of spacetime influence the cosmos?

    I love the show and watch both on UA-cam and listen to the podcast while commuting to work on Spotify. I like to think about physics, space, engineering, and science in general and currently work as a process automation engineer in Livermore, CA.
    I know that a true anti gravitational force would behave differently than this. However, wouldn't a negative differential of gravity between two points on a gravitational wave potentially yield a similar force (in direction, but would have a small magnitude) to negative gravity/negative energy? The negative differential conditions would be possible if you choose a point upon the gravitational wave that is close to the minimum of the wave as the relative observation point and then select the maximum of the wave as the other point of comparison. If my math is correct and a gravitational wave behaves like a sine or cosine wave then this should result in a negative differential in gravity. Am I thinking about this wrong, and if so what did I miss?

    19:00 I think this question is great! A little bit of a close minded, contradictory answer he received on my opinion.

    When you say your impression of space is flat, I think of our miniscule impression of the surface of the earth being flat when close. My suggestion is space is like a torus, a very large torus where we can only see the flat of it. But in some directional aspect it is expanding while it rotates, and in other areas of the torus it is compressing. I like the idea of this torus with punctures like your example of the tire with punctures I call black holes, leaking whatever falls into the black holes out into the larger unseen ether because we are on the inside surface of the torus which is ever rotating in its own dimensions and speed! This way matter changes in distances but nothing is changed in the quantity of matter.

    So I've heard this story about black holes having gravity so strong that 'not even light can escape' and IV always had a problem with that description, because photons have zero mass. I once heat it being described as thats at the event horizon, spacetime itself is falling into the black hole at the soeed of light, and further down the black hole soace falls in the black hole faster than that, so once crossed, this gives a much more intuitive visual image of what's happening.

      Is black holes and black gates similar

    • @stylis666
      @stylis666 Рік тому

      You're absolutely right. Light actually still follows a straight path as far as its relation to spacetime. Mass just changes that path and black holes change it so extremely that even photons that are or would be headed straight for the horizon will never reach it because spacetime is falling into the hole faster than the photon traverses it. It effectively switches time and space and the photon is traveling time in a certain amount of space instead of traveling space in a certain amount of time. But with only one velocity I suppose it wouldn't matter anyway.

    Do blobs of water in space heat up when they are introduced to vibrations and not confined or dampened by gravity? Where does the energy go?

    What if spacetime isn’t one object, but rather two different objects moving through each other. Space / matter being one dimension, and time / gravity being another dimension that flow through each other like a mesh river.
    We exist in these beads of conscious awareness ((we are just space and time existing together at the same place, at the same time)), where these mesh dimensions connect creating these flowing streams . Black holes are what occur when the gravity / time in one of these beads exceeds the mass of our given dimension.

    What might have been a surprise some years ago is the enormous interests for the universe, and said short all the mysteries which are bound to be a part of it. As a fellow physicist I find it so difficult because I want to learn everything now. But hard work
