Supervoids: The Absolutely VAST Empty Parts of the Universe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Explore the universe’s vast cosmic voids, where nothingness defies cosmic laws. Dive deep into the mysteries of these immense empty spaces and uncover the secrets they hold.
The void of the UA-cam algorithm looks back, and smiles favorably upon Fact Boy's offering.
There's no problem having voids in this one universe, because as Feynman said -- I don't care if you don't like it, You're not going to tell nature how she's going to be. If it's worrying to people that it violates popular theories, then I regret to inform you that it's the theory that should be revised or thrown out
There isn't a single real scientist out there that does not know this. They all know we are missing stuff. Like over 80% is the usual number for dark matter/energy alone.
A lot of experiments trying to test out why that is, and theroies trying to rule out where our errors occured, and how to detect the unknown.
It is a large task requiring billions of dollars with researchers across the world being dedicated to just detect theortical particles and other things like this.
Eventually till we can get the math right where our simulations can fit observations. (And the theroy of everything would be nice)
James Webb is the right direction. We will get there as we get better sensors, and advance.
Hopefully AI reaearch can lead us there too.
Ironically, giant voids would be exactly what we would see if multiple universes exist and one of them smacked into us at one point. It would push everything out of the way.
Unfortunately, even these voids aren’t quite empty enough to be that sort of evidence though… 😢
I like the theory that black holes could house universes themselves.
@@vince7207I personally enjoy that as well. It makes the fine-tuning argument meaningless. Natural selection would preferentially benefit universes with more black hole formations leading to the one we’re currently in. Making it not strange at all that our universe is has fine-tuned physical properties
@@vince7207 Me too. As soon as I heard about the CMB, I assumed it was an event horizon from the inside. Lately I've been working through an understanding that it is simply a "frame of reference" which make a universe and density of the "frames of reference" in one location of spacetime creates gravity by differences of sidereal counts of rotations (like gear differentials), which would allow 3D space to be effectively limitless but scales of too small (quantum) or too fast (relativisitic) are literally 'outside' of 'our' universe, and we can only 'weakly' feel the effects.

I came across one of your channels a few months ago. Then something else interesting shows up in my feed and damn isn’t if it isn’t that same dude from the other channel, then another channel, then another channel. Thanks for the hours of information I actually trust. As you know, this is UA-cam, so anything you watch, verify and if it’s titled, James Webb Destroys Big Bang Theory, maybe move on, not maybe, move the eff on! The things I love about your channels, you don’t clickbait and you’re honest about the subject matter.
Total Respect Simon, nice job and same to the writers and support people, combined you guys make outstanding media!
There are a few glitches here and there , but yeah , by and large this channel rocks.
@@rustythecrown9317yeah some proofreading would be good but byand large it's just minor faults so yeah
Unlike some of the other channels here on UA-cam where click bate is a given and then it is followed up with false information and lies so yo gotta choose your information carefully
Just saying 🇳🇴
As you explore more of Simon's channels keep in mind that when he does get click-baity it is almost always meant as a joke that goes with the video thematically.

Supervoids. Like the space between my ears.
Mega-parsec (3.3M light years) is an astronomical term but most people have some notion of light years. We are 4 light years from our nearest star, our galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter, we are about 2.5 million light years from Andromeda (our most significant galactic neighbour), our super-galaxy cluster (100K+ galaxies) is 500M light years in diameter, and the universe is 93 billion years wide.
If you would be nitpicking it is actually 3.26 light years not 3.3 but on the scales were talking about that onl😢gets significant in large scale computations
And the 93 billion light years is of the observable universe it is probably much larger than what we can see at the moment
And the distance to Andromeda is also a bit of a challenge some say that the distance is 2.3 million some say 2.6 million but that is mostly because of how you measure it from the senter ore the edge of it
Some science also seems to suggest that the outer edges of Andromeda and the milkyway is already in contact because of the size of the galaxies their halos are most likely already touching and the interplay and the gasses and other detritus have been mingling for eons already
And it will only get better from her on out there is no living creature ore its descendents that will be able to see thus happen but through science we know it will happen and that's why science is so fuckin awesome
Not like these dumdums that thinks the earth is flat and when you ask them for some proof they say trust me 😂😂 yeah right that's what I'm gonna do 😂😂
Science is the backbone of everything I tells us what happened what is happening and what is going to happen
Another nitpick: the observable universe is 93 billion light years wide. The actual universe is likely much, much larger….

Saying it breaks the laws of cosmology is like saying it breaks the laws of speculation. Thanks to new instruments scientists are learning more at a faster rate so change in understanding is to be expected.
The main point is... Whenever scientists say this or that "should not exist", its them that is wrong. Not the universe. But also... There is no such thing as a "void" or super voids. Its 100% a complete misconception from the 80s before we knew what galactic filaments were. Now that we have known what galactic filaments are for a couple of decades, its ridiculous to keep creating clickbait and "mystery" around non-existant voids. Claiming they are out there is pure misinformation.
Voids have always intrigued me.
So basically... We are Voidlings!

Maybe the void was neccesary to allow life to evolve in a less interupted way than it otherwise would be, if it wasnt in one of these voids. Stability seems to be a major key in the overall development of, well.... us.
This comment made me feel better
@djunior874 seems like a logical explanation for us residing within one. Life barely made it through some of what it went through as it is, and this technically could be considered not only a void, but an area of relative calm, I would think. Comparatively of course.
Interesting to think about, to say the least.
I was just thinking this, maybe being in the void keeps us safe from the greater dangers of the universe.
When somebody says that something massive within the universe "should not exist", then and only then should you consider that there is something that is beyond our comprehension.
Ah yes, another channel yet discovered. This man is a machine 😅
Even where there's nothing, there's still something. Besides, nothing itself is still something. 😁✌🏻

Yay-i found a new Simon channel! Well, new to me. His web of channels is so vast, it spreads across the internet universe, like filaments of matter 😂
He’s trying to fill the void with channels….
Off in The Void they will find multiple UA-cam channels and Simon will be talking about everything there is.
The KBC Void is the quarantine zone around Earth. All fun aside:
Maybe voids should be seen as remnants of bubbles (i.e. like balloons) and all the galactic matter was pushed to the bounderies by explosions (matter / anti-matter).
i just got dumped and my coping mechanism is binge watching every simon video
Stay strong and just watch Simon. I'm sure they were a jerk anyway.

Just recently discovered, voids in space were created by giant exploding stars. The closest void to earth was created by a star going nova, and clearing a space of 16 million light years across.

Neutrinos were one of my favorite things to think about while tripping!
I had a dream the other night where I was out in space by myself with no suit or anything. I was just floating out there.
I could look 'down' or 'up' and all I could see were oceans of stars that went on to infinity in every direction.
I couldn't even see the Milky Way's galactic bulge for reference!
It was VERY alarming and I woke up in a slight panic!
It was weird and cool all at the same time and the bonus is that I can remember it clearly!
Very interesting!
The spatial dimension is the only commonality I can see. Gravity seems to go through changes on the extreme large end dealing with Galactic clusters and supervoids and then at the Quantum level.
Interesting as usual. Certainly as my void knowledge doesn’t go further than Temple of Void, Void Rot, Void Witch.
Voivod
Voids have always intrigued me. I've always wanted to go there and see what was in it. I mean, I know that it's mostly nothing, but imagine all the cold, ancient dead things that still reside there. I bet it would be fascinating.
Mostly rocks ice and frozen mushroom spores.
Some strains of bacteria that breakdown to basic life enzymes.
Mostly rocks and ice.
Most life ends up inside black holes sadly

It’s probably a good thing that we live in a sparsely populated area of the universe. Otherwise we would be bombarded by cosmic rays constantly.
Her fragrance of choice was fresh garlic.
Giant voids really aren't that unexpected. Think of a gentle babbling brook. Every now and again the chaotic nature of liquids means the waves of energy/motion will create air bubbles on the surface of the water.
The chaotic motion during inflation will inevitably lead to areas of denser concentrations of matter. This movement will impart momentum and draw material away from some place, creating less dense areas.
Finally, as stars, black holes and galaxies pop into the mix the energy they radiate will further push material away. Leaving a couple galaxies floating in the voids.
Fast forward to today and the voids have grown so immense it seems impossible. But at one point in the past things were much closer. Plus, there are other inconsistencies in the early universe that point to different levels of inflation. So we have yet to show if there may have been slightly different values to the equations that may point to why these things can grow so massive, and just when they started or how quickly they grew and at what stage did that change in growth occur.
Well thanks for that existential crisis 😅
There was actually an observation recently that could help explain how these happen. The JWST spotted a couple of quasar that collided several million light years away from us and they wiped out everything around them for about 100 light years. Void created
I knew about voids, but TIL I'm in one! The local hole 600 Mpc radius around us. Still, plenty of matter to go around. Onwards to Mars and the stars.
This is probably why complex life evolved here. Anywhere else is too busy to allow life to progress peacefully. Yet another factor in favor of the rare earth hypothesis.
To me it's the scariest mystery. Something absolutely caused it. It's not just some quirk. Not that we could do anything anyways so not scary in that sense but just that it can happen and how.
At 16:50 - the reason we wouldn't have realized that there weren't other galaxies until the 1960s if the milky way was in the center of the Bootes void isn't because we would have been so far that their light would not have reached us or anything like that - but because they would have been so far away that our early telescopes would not have been able to resolve them as galaxies - they would have merely looked like distant stars... that was his point. Just for clarification
And it's not exactly a true conjecture. The Bootes void DOES contain galaxies (like all voids), they are just very sparsely populated... so it is possible that someone would have spotted one of the few galaxies out there and made the realization... or perhaps not. If it were not for Andromeda or the Magellanic Clouds - we probably would not have spent nearly the amount of time or energy innovating our telescopic technology as we did once we realized - there's A LOT of crazy stuff happening way, way out there.
You could very easily make the conjecture that, absent a moon (or especially absent other exoplanets in our solar system), it would have taken humans a LOT longer to piece things together. Perhaps, we'd still not understand the Sun is at the center of the solar system (actually, absent the moon, the Earth probably wouldn't support life seeing as the tidal effects of the moon are chiefly responsible for keeping the core molten and the magnetosphere and ionosphere doing their jobs to make our little blue ball habitable... so, yeah, let's not start deleting the moon.
If particles pop into existence, symmetry points to inverses; anti mass, anti-matter. A bulging inverse outside the gravity dots of matter, shoving stellar masses into strings around the bulges.
love it, could you do a video on The Great Attractor next please?
5:30 the ¨ over the second o means that both os must be pronouced separatedly (like in "cooperation", also spelled "co-operation" or, more to the pint at hand, "coöperation").

When I was taking an astronomy course, the concept of nothing fascinated me. After all, if there truly was nothing between the stars, they'd all be on top of each other. There's always something, even if that something is stupidly thin. Still, I wonder just how thin that something can get, and why.
Domino's missed a pretty good marketing idea. They should have tried to buy naming rights or whatever. And name one of them voids. The Niod. hehe. Golden Age of American TV commercials.
given the microwave backgourd this is exactly what would be expecting

Science is basically this: “this is what we know until we know more. stay tuned.”
I find it uplifting rather than depressing. If a seemingly dark and gloomy void includes our green and blue earth and gorgeous Milky Way, then that makes any Lovecraftian flight of fancy about the darkness of the universe quite unnecessary, while it also bolsters the soft anthropic principle that we couldn't possibly exist in our shape and form in a much more crowded, lighter, hotter, more chaotic area of the universe.
Intro sounds like a passage from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
268.901 septoduocillion Light-year radius. That is what I think a minimal size of our universe is, unless the Galaxy is MASSIVE, in just Weight, then we are creating a ring around us. Which is scary, which means. We are technically the center of the universe.
New Simon channel?? Sign me up👍🏻
I've heard a statistic that said if you shoot off into space and continue going until the edge of the universe (if you were able to do such a thing) the chances of you running into anything, assuming you are not making an effort to hit it, are zero. As in, empty space is so large despite the number of galaxies and stars and planets and rocks and whatever, you're just never going to hit anything. Can anyone help me source this or is it just wrong?
Not ZERO but very remote. There is a simulation of a shop going 3000 times the speed of light right through the center of the galaxy. ( Avoiding the black hole ofc)
But they didn't hit anything.
I was always an advocate of the "expanding universe" perspective might be because we're in a void and everything is being pulled away from us.
It's my humble opinion that our verse rotates "like a galaxy" around the centre.
Physics tells me that.the largest to the smallest all work the same
Oh yeah I’m a grade A nihilist. Knowing that nothing matters is my nature state of being, especially when I think of space.

There's always something, even if that something is stupidly thin. Still, I wonder just how thin that something can get, and why. Why can these portions of space exist where individual particles are so far apart, yet the fabric of space still wraps around them?
I take this as evidence of alien intelligence. Knowing what we know about humans, I'd want to isolate them from the rest of the universe too
Some voids are type 3 civilizations that have Dyson Spheres encompassing galaxy super clusters.
14b years really just doesn't seem long enough with current ideas on how all this stuff happened.
The grand structure of the universe looks like the pattern of dust on the hood of a van after a bit of rain.
I always thought it looked more like a vast nervous system branching out to smaller numerous limbs
Some alien species is clearing "space" to make room for a new mall. :)
We might end up as a hyperspace by-pass.
*Hits blunt*
What if a higher power or being put us in an empty void because it knew that we would eventually become a threat?
Imagine if there is a hyper advanced alien race that just travels around and consumes full super clusters of galaxies for all their energy.
The void will consume all its consumers.
I get worried when SCIENTISTS, supposedly the smartest people amongst us, look at something that presents to them solid and repeatable data, and proclaim "that shouldn't happen! It's against the laws of (insert science here)".
When the thought process really should be "we should look at how this new data transforms what we think is Law"

Thing is black holes don't actually swallow that much. 99% of the matter is thrown back out to space

Also, yes, with Simon's picture on half the screen, it feels less robotic IMHO. You might want to make Simon a little smaller and the subject a bit better, (02:49 for example}

And here i was thinking "the Local Hole" was a song by Sexy Red. 😆
Audio on this one is very rough. Please adjust EQ. Sibilance is pretty extreme.
The noisy transitions are annoying. BEEP. WHOOOSH.
My theory is early black holes that have managed to draw in all the gas that they can effect in regards to there gravity.
Here's a thought, space acts like a fluid right, what if the superclusters drift like "galactic continents" and the voids are the open spaces similar to oceans. The assumption would then be that there is something driving a "current" in which the separations are made. Gravity can account for the entire structure moving together as well as the exotic matter driving the current would account for why matte doesn't drift in and out of the voids
I think space is more like pulled taffy.
@@trevinbeattie4888that's actually a pretty good analogy, though the universe actually seems to *gain* mass, not just stretch out what it has thinner and thinner.
Honestly when you think about it all as a matter of perspective our entire universe could just be a vegetable on an aliens kitchen table about to be thrown into a pot, It just takes 10 billion years for the alien to pick us up because they exist on a different scale.
While supervoids are probably affected by dark matter, I wonder if they have become so large because of dark energy. Dark energy is the name given to the unknown force that is causing the universe to expand at increasing rates. We don't know what dark energy is or really how it causes universe expansion. What if the universe expands faster in areas without matter? That could conceivably be responsible for super voids. What if spacetime expands faster if less mass is present. As I understand it, gravity does counteract expansion. That's not what I mean. I am wondering if there is also more dark energy/dark energy is more powerful in some inverse ratio to the proportion of mass present. I'm a recovering lawyer, not an astrophysicist, and this is just speculation on my part. OK, I did take Astronomy & Astrophysics at the Bronx High School of Science and got 6 college credits for the course. But that was almost 40 years ago, and nobody knew that the expansion of the universe was increasing back then.
It’s the Covenant
How is it these voids are more or less spherical? What is it that keeps them so neatly round?
