      It's still less then infinite. Which is curious, when you know that our "bubble universe" itself should be infinite in size since the big bang, but still expands.

    When I was in college we had this term that the professors would use called theory-territory or therotory. Basically most sciences will expand into their neighboring fields of study. For the softer sciences of human behavior you'd have psychology, sociology, anthropology, and biological behavioralism all trying to explain the same phenomenon within their framework.
    I feel like planetary scientists are telling astronomers to get off their lawn. I think there's a good chance that they probably have working definitions and classifications for planetary bodies. Kind of like there are classifications for stars.
    Like what is the difference between an astrophysicist, astronomer, and cosmologist. How much overlap are we talking about and how specialized do they get. Back to anthropology an archaeologist and a linguist can both be anthropologist.
    Maybe SpaceTime could do a theory-territory episode explaining all the branches of physics and an astronomy.

      It's kind of assumed that there is a "time" dimension (that may or may not be linear) that exists as a shared parameter in the calculus between all the universes. The inflaton field, where the bubbles expand inside and collapse randomly in, has it's dynamics, and I suppose that dynamic state can define time for all worlds. (Or you could just define time as the number of universes currently existing! Since the spawn rate is faster than our plank-scale theoretical limits of measurement, that would be more than good enough as a multi-universal clock.)

    • @dennisdejong6540
      @dennisdejong6540 5 років тому

      There would be time if these bubble universes are created in another bubble universe that is already expanding so quick that these universes can start popping up.
      And eventually more universes might pop in in these new universes when they olso expanded enought .

    The "Youngness Paradox" seems pretty transparent to me.

      I think you're right. Couldn't you use this premise to argue just about anything that happens should statistically be happening for the first time? I mean, the number of universes in which someone is drinking tea for the very first time is almost infinitely larger than the number of universes in which tea drinking has been happening for thousands of years. Imagine how many new universes must have formed in that time! But here I am drinking tea, thousands of years after its invention.

      That isn't really what the Paradox says. It's talking about the probability of us being in a newer bubble universe compared to an older one. I'll try to rephrase it a bit: There's always more first sentient races than second sentient races at any point of time in the 'multiverse', because there's always more new universes than old ones. Because of that it's simple probability that we're one of the first ones. The chance of a universe developing more sentient races afterwards has no bearing on the paradox.

      @Winston Deleon
      I disagree, that's thinking small or "short - sighted", and having too much doubt.
      The way our emerging technology is coming so fast, and our good innovation, I do believe we will find some bacteria / micro - organisms, and maybe animal / plant life on other planets.
      You can never say for sure to the absolute.. that we won't find anything or even intelligent life.
      Because we don't know yet until we search, look at the moons around Jupiter and Saturn, oceans underneath one of them that could have bacteria that could be slowly changing over time "evolving" spoilers God does create different species of animals, other than humans. And there might even be aquatic life in the ocean underneath the moon's surface that is around the other planet, or just bacteria if nothing else, and Nasa is excited to find out.
      They also find new planets all the time, I think there are 4 to 19 new planets discovered every day in our Galaxy, and especially close to our solar system, in other solar systems nearby.
      They have noticed the little black dots that they thought were sun spots, going around other stars in other solar systems, were actually planets, so we are discovering a lot of new things all the time.
      Our space transmissions / communications are advancing with emerging technologies, look at Nasa's Mars CubeSats 1 and 2, they were able to transmit data from Mars to Earth in 3 minutes, for future "solar system" communication, and I think that technology will mature over time to be faster for wider ranges throughout our solar system.
      Look at Quantum Teleportation, Australia plans to build a Quantum Internet by 2030 with this emerging technology, to share with Europe, no word on the U.S.
      The Netherlands plans to expand their cities with their Quantum Internet, and share it with the world in 3 years.
      Now imagine using that same Quantum Teleportation for small things like Data transmission / communications for space communications.
      If you are wondering about everything said, you can find everything mentioned in playlists I have on another channel.
      And if you are curious about emerging technology and beyond, to get a really good idea on what we can do now, very soon "few years or less", or even a little later after that in the 2020's, also check my playlists.

    So, bit late to the party, but this video has me asking a question:
    If bubble universes can meet (even if they have to start off absurdly close together to do so), wouldn't that allow for the creation of expanding regions entirely contained or "trapped" between a network of connected universes?
    In a simplified 2d version of this, you could imagine 4 universes, in a square pattern, so that the edges of all 4 bubbles meet shortly after the pop into existence. But if you timed it just right, and set them just the right amount away, there would still be a region of exponential inflation right in the middle of it. I have no idea what the implications of this would be, but it seems hard to imagine.

    I don't understand how this argument is supposed to work. The Fermi Paradox is a description for the likelihood of life within OUR universe. This is still equally likely or unlikely across all stars and galaxies. That there exist multiple, independent, universes doesn't change this. The likelihood of life forming within any ONE of those bubble universes is still the same and still described by the FP. If anything, this just adds one more variable to the FP equation, assuming that it is even worth considering; as it is largely just academic as we lack any known method to travel to, communicate, or even observe these other pocket universes.

    Define "Universe"... Once it meant: “all things, as a whole, the universe” (Wiktionary)... As in - Everything there is. What exactly does the word mean now? A part of a "multiverse"? Linguistically... that doesn't make sense.
    How can "all things, as a whole" - be only a part of something other than 'itself' in its entirety? It doesn't make sense. It kinda reminds me of a certain movie quote: "... 60% of the time... It works every time!" ;-P

      True... Good point. :-) But I'd still say there is a fundamental difference. "Everything" cannot mean anything else than that. We are discovering that there is more to the Universe than we once thought... But it's still "The Universe"... Everything in existence. Semantics I guess... And a matter of scale perhaps :)
      Can "Everything" be infinitely subdivided into smaller parts? Perhaps. But can "The Universe" be multiplied? And by what "factor"? I doubt it :)

  • @stefanb6539
    @stefanb6539 5 років тому +1

    My second take on my problem with the Fermi Paradox explanation:
    One of the ideas, that is often formulated together with the anthropic principle is the idea, that we are a totally normal, average species, and everything about us is totally normal, typical and average.
    So, our universe was about 13.8 billion years old, when humanity first appeared, and we therefor assume, that it takes an average universe about 13.8 billion years to produce its first technological civilization.
    The Fermi Paradox problem is, that according to all we know so far, and assuming, we are the first technological civilization ever, we don't really understand, WHY it took the universe so long to produce us. The circumstances, that we deem necessary for our existence should have occurred multiple times before, even in the time cone of our observable universe.
    So, the multiverse theory by far can't solve the Fermi Paradox, at best it shifts the question from: "Why did it take the universe 14 billion years to produce us?" to "Why does a given random universe on average need 14 billion years to produce its first technological civilization?"

  • @francescoghizzo
    @francescoghizzo 5 років тому +4

    Actually for me the solution of the Fermi paradox in our own universe is a lot easier.
    Let's suppose that every coefficient of the Drake equation is really low but not zero.
    So, a planet in the habitable zone with microbial life: rare, but not that much.
    A planet with multicellular complex life? Orders of magnitude less common.
    A planet with intelligent life? Even less common than the latter.
    We end up with a probability declining exponentially every time we add a condition to the equation (intelligent life, intelligent life + civilizations, intelligent life + civilizations + technology capable of interstellar travel).
    In the end, if we factor in the probability of 2 already extremely improbable civilizations capable of interstellar travel coexisting at the same time in a billion years old galaxy, it seems reasonable we haven't yet encountered aliens

    There is certainly something 'off' about calculating probability across spaces that are not causally connected. Prob( A|B ) is meaningless if event B cannot be said in any sense to have happened at all. Also - how do we calculate that all universe bubbles must expand at the speed of light? (the same value of c for our universe?) surely they could all have different values for c? I don't see anything intrinsic about the inflaton field that sets this value.

    One possibility which would make a difference to the physics is that any given bubble exists completely in isolation to others: its 'space' cannot collide with that of any other.
    Also we cannot lay out these bubble universes in the topography of some 'meta-space' since they absolutely cannot share coordinates: Universe A is not any given distance from Universe B. Each exists only within itself.

      It would be a sharp gradient (an abrupt change) in the energy density. Therefore, as seen from the inside, the edge would be an abrupt shift in natural physics (weird shit would happen). And if you could touch that edge, it would probably inflate your hand into oblivion.
