    Look around you. Where are you? Where is this place you are occupying? Somewhere in a room, maybe in a city on a continent on a planet orbiting a star in a galaxy among billions. But… where is all of that? While this may feel like a daft question, it turns out that the concept of an absolute position is something humans made up.
    In a nutshell, the universe is a big bag of space that has things in it. If someone removed all these things, the stars and planets and black holes and dust, there would just be empty space left. In empty space, the concept of having a position loses all meaning. Empty space is uniform, the same everywhere.

      The only thing that would've made this video/animation better is if they took the concept of time travel in mind.
      For instance:
      If you are on a floaty swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and you set your wrist watch to go back in time by 1 Second. Would your body-double really be in the ocean, metres away, where you were floating 1 second ago. (Think Back to the Future). Or would you be kilometres away due to the rotation of the Earth. Or would you be thousands of kilometres due to Earths orbit around the Sun. Or would you be light-years away due to the orbit of our Solar System around the orbit of our Milky Way. Or even further away as our galaxy is moving away from other galaxies in our universe. Or perhaps our entire Universe itself is moving too.
      ...Perhaps the Universe is moving, like bubbles in a bathtub, and our Universe is rubbing against alternate universes at a higher dimension which one day might pop into each other, cease to exist, or create a new Universe. And God is nothing but a belligerent baby enjoying the bubbles, written in a story, in the mind of an intoxicated author, who is watching a Kurzgegast video on his iPhone, whilst sitting in a floaty in a Pacific Island, which is on Earth that is spinning, that orbits the sun... ... ... ...

    This is how my father explained to me, why time traveling would be by far the most impossible and ressource consuming thing ever to be done by humanity. As you may be able to bend time, but you need to track the exact location of the earth in the universe, from where you want to time travel to.

    • @michaelbuckers
      @michaelbuckers Рік тому +29

      This implies the existence of an absolute frame of reference in the universe, which is not a thing. Since it requires a time-space warp, which is basically a worhmole with an entrance and an exit, in which both are basically just modified black holes, the exit point would simply orbit all the objects in vicinity. This means unless it's at orbital velocity, it will orbit THROUGH earth. Which, since it's a black hole like physical object, means disaster for earth. Actually, having a black hole like object that big anywhere near the solar system means disaster in any case.

    • @planets9102
      @planets9102 Рік тому +7

      Yeah no, the earth is an (almost) inertial reference frame. Any time travel method that is "stationary" in space an constructed on earth would not preturbed by anything but the rotation of the earth . (and very slightly by tidal forces). Standing still only means no acceleration, no net force (no, gravity isn't a force, see General Relativity, an orbit is a "straight line"/geodesic through space time).
      If the time machine were built on earth and kept the spacial reference frame of earth you'd probably only need to use it on a plane and take a parachute with you. You'd also need to do a 0g dive. This makes the reference frame locally inertial, jump into your wormhole and you'll pop out in more or less the same spot in the sky. (I'd still take an oxygen mask and jump out a few km above the ground to have some wiggle room)

This means the value of brain surgery especially if you need it is much higher with a limited supply of capable people to do it than lawn mowers . You won't pay $100k to have lawn mowed but I bet you'd pay that for a life saving surgery. This mentality has been tried to the conclusion of the deaths of literally hundreds of millions of people. See Lenin, Stalin , Mao and Pol Pot to name a few, this BS has been tried IT DOESN'T WORK when are people going to get it through their head already?

    I just graduated with a degree in physics, and my peers gave me a hard time over liking kurzgesagt. Their perspective was that kurzgesagt oversimplifies problems, and doesn't consider serious questions.
    My counter-point was that kurzgesagt does extremely well at the job it tries to do: to make science approachable and fun! I think many scientists get caught up with the details of highly complex scientific questions, and this makes the scientific fields seem unapproachable. In order to keep the scientific fields alive, we desperately need public outreach efforts like kurzgesagt to get people to realize the beauty and fun involved in asking or answering scientific questions!

    The Solar System doesn't orbit perfectly smoothly, but instead moves up and down relative to the galactic plane ~10x per orbit

      @@phantomarcadex Yes, the Earth's axis is tilted, so people think we are furthest from the sun during winter, but it is actually the opposite. During winter, we are closest to the sun. However, because the axis is tilted, the Earth's surface area is tilted away from the sun during winter. As a result, sunlight shines on the Earth at a wider angle, so the energy received per area is weaker. Since the North Pole points away from the sun, the South Pole points toward it, meaning that for the South Pole, winter is actually summer at the same time.
      Over the next six months, when it becomes summer at the North Pole, the Earth's axis points toward the sun, resulting in more energy per area. However, the axis itself isn't moving; it is the Earth's orbital motion that changes the phase.

    An interesting concept related to this is the issue of time travel. Even if time travel were to be possible, if you travelled back or forwards in time, you would also have to travel through space, as earth would be in an entirely different place, possibly millions of light years away considering the expansion of the universe. We often conceptualize time travel as if we could hop in a machine in our backyard, travel back in time to the era of dinosaurs, and see how our backyard looked back then. But you’d likely end up in an empty part of space with the Earth nowhere to be seen

      Whether or not time travel is possible isn't up for debate. We're always traveling through time and we don't know how to stop. As we continuously travel into the future, we're also continuously moving through space. It doesn't seem possible to move through space and not time or to move through time and not space. So I don't think we would have to worry about ending up in an empty part of space.

    • @Tao_Tology
      @Tao_Tology 2 роки тому +17

      It would depend on the mechanism or technology that allowed time-jumping.
      One view is that it would be like jumping off a moving car, it would carry on its way.
      So if you 'step off' (travel forward or backward) you'll end up far from where the car "now" is.
      It could also be that, while travelling through time, you keep/reduce your space-travel momentum.
      A nifty thought-experiment is also that, if you could time travel, you would be able to get readings on whether the universe in general was 'moving' or if it is an overall static mass.

      @daniel_rossy_explica 2 роки тому +6

      You could move only in time but not in space if you calculated in avance where your position was at the moment you entered the time machine. But I think that would make it so you can't jump to arbitrarely chosen points in time, only when the planet itself is in the same relative position (or, at least) you wouldn't end too many kilometeres in the air, or worse, in space.

    I always feel a little sad that I can't see things on a galactic scale, but this made me consider: If there WERE beings of a scale galactic or beyond, they might never be able to see things on a 'micro' scale as 'small' as our own frame of reference is either, and maybe that would be pretty sad too. Galactic grass is always greener and all that.

    You guys have conveyed one of, if not my most, favorite thing about astronomy - how *everything* is relative, and how everything is always changing, even though a lot of those changes are very slow compared to human timescales. The measuring of positions in space - astrometry - is genuinely one of the most fascinating (and frustrating, haha) subfields of astronomy

      @Jacko Sargs I also think that’s kinda beautiful in a way. Maybe we aren’t meant to know the universe. That doesn’t make anything else we do any less meaningful to us. (In my opinion)the fact that we can never truly understand the universe is something that makes our lives, and the universe itself more beautiful. We can try and get as much knowledge as we can, and sure if we found out we could understand the universe that would be nice, but the fact that the universe is such an indescribably large and old thing in the perspective of us, makes it cooler.

      I don't think so - because the next question is "relative to what" and the counter-intuative answer is "there is no what - it's all relative!". So as long as you were moving relative to the time machine itself, or maybe even you yourself, you'll be fine. In other words - if you consider the earth moving - then you yourself are moving as you enter the "time machine" (whatever incarnation that takes" - therefore you'd keep your momentum - like the portals in Portal - but through time, not space.

    This is one of the reasons why I think time travel could be problematic. Where you start from won't be the same location in space at a different time. Say you're in your time machine in a lab and you want to time travel, you rewind or fast forward and end up somewhere in space or in the centre of a planet. To stay in the same place when time changes you'd need an absolute reference point and not something relative like parked in a lab

    • @jomancool55

    • @Bisqwit
      @Bisqwit 2 роки тому +23

      But because there are no absolute positions and locations, the only way that a "location in space" makes sense is with respect to some reference point. Which is totally arbitrary. And it being arbitrary, who is to say that your lab is an incorrect reference point? You time travel and stay in exact same position with reference to that reference point, i.e. you stay in the lab.
