Objective now does not exist only in relativity. Theories like Einstein's can sometimes create an illusion of false reality based on unfalsifiable experiments. Because our knowledge is rooted in these false maps of reality, we cannot comprehend the gap between quantum mechanics and relativity.
The problem is how speed is measured. It is measurement problem. 186000 miles/second. This per second/minute/hour/days/weeks/years is the problem. Distance we travel, we can see the for example 100 meter dash run, but TIME! Is so subjective ill defined. Until we know what is time, how we define time, we may never know light properties. May AGI will guide us soon 😅

YES!!! When I see a new upload from this channel, I get so happy. I used to be happy and excited about life when I was studying physics in college. Taught high school physics after that and had so much fun with my classes. Unfortunately, the reality of low teacher pay, new family on the way, and my other option to make more than double if I work with computers, I went back to my tech job. Now I am almost always depressed, feel like there is no hope and nothing to look forward to in life any more. That being said, whenever I see these videos it takes me back to my happy place. Thanks for all the effort you guys put in to put these out. They mean the world to some of us.
Can you teach at a higher level, like at a bustling university, sometimes part time instruction is needed which can pay well enough to fit in some part time teaching. Even offering tutoring can help fill that desire to teach? Even when I did teach there were special needs students that need additional help and can be very exciting to see how you can reach them and help them along. I am fearful that this next generation is really going to be a struggle with the necessary people interaction skills.
I'm left with a question. When you die, your brain neuro pathways fire slower as you become brain dead. So, will our perception of time when we die slow down to an infinite perception on the last neuro event? I think I now believe in an infinite after-life, stuck in time, re-living my brain's last chemical burst of nirvana... forever.
I think Calculus solved Xeno's paradox. I do believe in the other side though because from the time I was a child I've been haunted by the supernatural. In fact it's so commonplace to me I actually call it the supernormal.
Wow...there's a thought! So, basically, you're suggesting in the end we all pass through a kind of an event horizon. Our time slows down, as if we're, well, approaching a black hole.
This is my thought as well. It also explains heaven and hell because your choices and feelings are going to be with you eternally. Make heaven on Earth because physics is going to make it eternal.
Seems to me, the totality of what actually exists are particles moving relative to each other. From this all else is derived, much of which is conceptual including past, present, future and self, via the miracle of processes which, like patterns, have an innate ability to represent. (Thoughts, all thoughts, are representations whose immediate substrate is the neural-discharge-timing-pattern process).

The section towards the end would be even better to include how the "Brain makes decisions before you even know it" - published in Nature on April 11, 2008. Brain activity predicts decisions up to 10 seconds before they are consciously made! This directly impacts our sense of having free will - actions that we take are set in our brain - and can be predicted by instruments - before we are aware we “decide” to take that action.
Iirc follow-up study showed that this is primarily true for arbitrary decisions where the testee had no strong feelings towards the decision they were making. For less arbitrary decisions, the predective power of those tests faltered significantly.
Every content in one's 'conscious field', everything of which one has been, is or will be conscious, gets there via gyrations in the neural substrate that occur prior to their manifestation, necessarily prior. How could it be otherwise?

You touch on Julian Barbour and the Julius point. Some excellent work to understanding of time moving in 2 different directions at once.

I was just watching a new Michael fassbender movie called trespass against us, it seemed like he was playing sort of a blue-collar Welshman character. he kept calling his friends and children mush? I guess that is a term of endearment can one of you explain that to me just a little bit?
At 16:33 we talk about what another civilization would see of Earth if they perceived it and how it would be about 16 thousand years in our past. Does this consideration come into play when we observe distant stars and exoplanets when looking for life? Could it be that the planets we’ve seen might actually then host life and we will just never see it? I love this channel, the intro made me hungry
I think, the real question is, "is there a past or future?". Arguably, the "now" is all that can be said to exist since it is the only thing that can be perceived. The past has already happened and is no longer present, and the future is an abstract idea of the progression of now. Neither are tangible, only the "now".
The “Now is the only time” isn’t a science idea. It’s a spiritual one. Don’t mentally live in the past or future. Live in the now. We know time is real. We start out as infants and grow to old age. If we’re lucky. The Universe has been emerging to its present state due to long passage of time. There is a real past and future.
You did an excellent job. You hit on all the pertinent high points. I wish you were able to delve in Causality a great deal more. It is such an an important part bringing all the other parts together. Very well done. I was happy to recognise all the players accept one.
I have an interest in how the "NOW" moment in our experience, in inner space, can be tied up to how it relates to outer space. This video explains relativity better than a lot of others I've watched.
"as it seems to you or I"??? Precise -- but different and incorrect -- ages of the Universe. A fine meal spoiled by the little bits of dog shit on the plate. Somebody did some excellent work on the graphics. It's a pity for them to see their good work ruined by this pretentious gaseous verbiage.
Some argue that “now” is the only time that truly exists, as the past is gone and the future is not yet here. Others suggest that time is an illusion, and everything is happening simultaneously, with our brains processing events as if they were occurring in a continuous sequence2.
One doesn't need to argue as you can conceptualize time in different phenomena. One would be "Clock Time". Another would be "Psychological Time." Add if necessary.
All simultaneously, in my opinion. Everything that was and will be is all happening at once on the same plane. Our limited human brain sequences the movement of the universe in what we consider "chronological order" but from the beginning to the end is all one....imo
@@RealDonfromBroward It is weird the dilation of time that happens around consciousness or observation, there is nothing else, for 14. Something billion years and then the superposition of all the states of every piece of matter collapses with an observer. Just absolutely screeches to a halt so we can all have a snail race of consciousness trying to use the stream of absolutely bonkers information to output something useful to continue existing in what it sees as a valid state of now. When every one of us dies our lightcone of possible positions stretches out into infinity, instantly taking the memory of its position as a human of earth into the end of time.
The “Now is the only time” isn’t a science idea. It’s a spiritual one. Don’t mentally live in the past or future. Live in the now. We know time is real. We start out as infants and grow to old age.

This is one of the few channels I regularly check for new content. My absoloute favourite thing on UA-cam. And this episode is a mind bender. Thank you, History of the Universe.❤
@@boyzinthewood1 Then from that point of view, now is the units of time measured from the beginning till the end, what I meant to say is that if now had no observers, it would be like if there isn't now and it never was
@iunnox666 I'm sorry but nope! Not at all. Although every point in time was once "now" it immediately becomes past tense and can literally no longer be classed as now. You've described a contradiction.
I dont look at it as as complicated as it might be. Time is just a measurement to see how many “time passed” or will take to get something Thats it. The “now” is just the “material world” we live in, its the existence. Its the same way when if time pauses and come back years later, everything will stay the same, the universe is nice.
time goes slowly when not having fun....and yet after years of not having fun, when looking back it seems like years were nothing. so time also changes depending on the angle i'm looking at it 😕
"Even UA-cam videos is still surging towards them at 300,000 km per second". My first thought was this is a cool thought, but then I realized we're also transmitting TikTok videos to the cosmos at the same rate. We're doomed.
If the universe is same 13.8 (approx) billion years old from every point in the universe, then there is a hyper-surface of events that are 13.8 (approx) billion years aware from the reference point (the Big bang). Then by definition that is the global now. And that is what I understand to mean by the work now. There is also perception now at a given event in spacetime that is defined by the surface of the past light cone for signals travelling at the speed to light, or the body of the light cone for signals travelling less than the speed of light. Heck, scientists even say things like - we do not know what is happening on the Sun right "NOW", but only know in 8 minutes. Then what is that NOW in that sentence? In other words, when we talk about "now" like in this video we should be clear which "now" we are talking about. IMO intuitively the lay people understand the meaning on "now" to mean the global now I talked about above. So for the perception now should use a different word or compound word and then proceed to say, "Sorry, there is no (perceptive now)!"
26:53 Never say "move through space", as it implies you can (it doesn't mean anything, nada, zip, nothing) there is no absolute rest frame and your are never moving relative to or through space. This is a great way to trip up students of special realtivity.
That's very odd. I've always considered one of your points to be absolutely true. There is no "absolute rest frame", I say it differently though "nothing is ever sitting still". I think i like you're way best. Thanks. Your other point seems contradictory though since everything is always moving I belive there is only "moving through space" always and for ever. 😂😅😉
I understand stand your point that movement is relative to some fixed point, but if you’re moving really, really fast, faster than most other points of reference, don’t you accomplish this by ‘moving through space?’
@ronjon7942 Hi Ron :) To your question I say Yes. Keeping on mind that no point is fixed (everything is in constant motion), we move through space relative to some other moving point/s not a fixed or stationary point since there is no such thing as a fixed or stationary point. 😃
When was now for next spring's flower blossoms? How long will I have to wait to smell last year's roses? Does infinity ride on a light beam? Does forever live in the darkness between the twinkle of a star? If no one can experience nothingness, Does it really exist? Since everyone can't experience eveything, is it even real?
Your 3 channels are some of my favourites. I always watch them more than once. Just fantastic. Idea for a 4th channel: The Entire History of Civilisation. I’d love your take on it. Or will it be part of your humankind vids. (Will and Ariel Durants series ‘ The Story of Civilisation’ are my favourite books.)
This makes me wonder how differently aliens would perceive time and how greatly that would interfere with our communication with them. Because most of our methods of communication rely on our perception of time
Some angels once left their dimension to enter ours, they had no problem dealing with our 3 dimensional worlds 4th dimension. They came to mate with the women of our dimension and did so. IDK If you will consider the forthcoming children aliens or not but they had no issue with time either. This information comes from the book of Genesis with a few refraneses in other books of the Bible. As for space aliens originating from within our own dimension I have 0 credible information to offer you my friend 😢 As for those particular aliens mentioned above they are locked away for now but the children they produced appear to have become what today are known as Demons and very likely present themselves as space aliens among other cleaver cons they do so love to run on us humans. Be careful dealing with any claims of space aliens, They not all as friendly as they may claim to be. 😮
A Phylosopher's Take on Time. Entities like lenght, weight, voltage, current, frequency - can be measured with a specific instrument. Curiously, there is no instrument which can measure Time. A clock is an is oscillator, and the display shows how many oscillations have elapsed; we call this "a measure of time". For us, Time is the dissipation of energy, and we call this "The Arrow of Time". Our mind perceive Time as "Passage of Time", a flow permeating the Universe in a relativistic fashion. One day we will discover what Time truly is. There is something else that is flowing in the Universe, that we perceive as the flow of Time instead... Greetings, Anthony
Ive wondered this too. If time basically stops when you travel at light speed. Is the first light ever created after the big bang basically just like a couple of seconds old still ?
the tickrate at which we perceive "time" is really a frequency generated by the brain and we can influence that with cognition, this is exactly what derealization and adhd do: they affect how fast we perceive time. This tickrate also varies based on each species and offers a broad range of variation for natural selection to take over more efficiently as a species. It is the eternal great cycles of Samsara, entropy oscillating back and forth on multiple wavelengths simultaneously. Our experience of life going from order to chaos is really biased by our existence at only one side of the larger oscillations of reality. In fact reality is absolutely relative. Time is an illusion, entropy is a fractal of cause and effect, tied together on each end by causality. It is merely another dimension we experience, while riding an energy that oscillates across this spectrum.
You are in the here and now, it's your time to shine in a universe that might be infinite or almost infinite to our prospective. So enjoy it, do good, be nice to others, and live well.
To everyone here, I implore you with all my heart to check out RUSH's song, "The Garden." "The future disappears into memory, with only a moment between. Forever dwells in that moment. Hope is what remains to be seen."
Wow ! Such profundity ! Basically ; word salad . A series of words which , when analysed , actually turn out to be meaningless drivel. Similar to Alan Watts Buddhist shtick ?!
There is either just one particle in the universe that can become anything or every particle is connecting each other and every single one of them knows where the other is and what its doing instantly
This is different from the other HOTU vids, which typically contain a lot of history of cosmology and talk about the issues current in the field. HOTU has been so thorough, and covered so much of current cosmology, that I wondered what you could do next without rehashing old themes again. But you did it. I am continually impressed, and never bored, with this channel.
The universe is fucking mind blowing. And what an absolutely amazing job yall did at making it much more understandable than any video I've ever seen before. i was getting rolls of goosebumps rippling across over and over again i had to pause it on part 4 to write this comment. the fact we get to be here to ask these questions and get them answered is just phenomenal. Fantastic video, just freakin fantastic
I would say "get answers". "Answered" is too suggestive of factual, formulaic answers. Most of cosmology is theoretical, particularly in terms of grand concepts like the infinite and infinitesimal capacities of time and space.
Thank youuuu for sharing your amazing work with the world ❤️ I love your work and it’s so inspiring to hear your stories of the past 💕 Thank youuuu and thank youuuu
In spiritual practice - here and now - is of vital importance. It is easily realised - but really - with meditative mind and heart open - revealing depth and the right vibrations. Now - is not even intuited - by the measuring tendencies of senses - undisciplined and unmastered. We have no choice - but to work - training for innermost experience - and embrace now - in wonder/originality. Fare thee well.
I remember the first time I learned - and understood - that dogs experience time differently than we do. They perceive the movement of time differently; their brains slow.time down and the world moves differently for them. Meanwhile as each year passes, I experience the movement of time faster as the amount of time I have been alive grows longer. I wish I could change how I perceived the movement of time to be like a dog's perception of it.
I’ll have to dwell on this as I try to put myself into my pups’ brains. But I certainly am experiencing time moving faster than when I was younger, especially in my pre teens and early adulthood. If your theory on dogs’ behavior is true, yeah - I wish for that too. I wish snuggling them would help us absorb this power, but for me, laying around petting them REALLY compresses time. Maybe that’s it - things we can’t stand seem to take forever, things we love happen so quick. And as we age, we’re more accepting of things that used to bother us, gradually making time seem faster. Geez, one can really get lost in this.
@@ronjon7942 I think as we experience more time, passing moments seem shorter in our minds. Our memories begin to grow longer, and so the moments to come begin passing faster. Time begins to feel short. It sucks and I would like a refund on my brain please.
I believe the perception of time speeding up over the years may have to do with how much life experience we have stuffed into our brains. Life was carefree and simple and it took forever for Christmas to come as kids. Now we play Santa after work and shopping and shoveling snow and paying the bills and…… We’re too busy.

Have you guys seen Sam Sulek?
Sleep video??? Nah you’re buggin’ I’m awake for any video on this channel lol
This is so true, I want to watch it but it honestly just puts me to sleep
Your videos are amazing. One of my very favourite you tubers. Thank you so much for opening my mind. 😊
Holy crap. You took something I thought was obvious and explored phenomena that I had never considered. You did a great job. Thanks.
I am now in love with the idea of a space whale. 🖤💙
Best practical explanation of a light cone I’ve heard so far. Really helped me better grasp concept
History of the Universe, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!
I am so excited to watch this every night for a month straight
Glad I'm not alone
Samesies fam 🙋🏻♂️
Lmfao literally loading this up now to sleep to
the "universe should not exist" one is the GOAT but i am rly looking forward to this one as well
Lol. Go have a doobie😅
I have an interest in how the "NOW" moment in our experience, in inner space, can be tied up to how it relates to outer space. This video explains relativity better than a lot of others I've watched.
Ooooh a new video on this channel. Can’t WAIT to listen!
Thanks for making very complex science simple enough for non scientists to understand.
This is my favorite channel!!!!
I absolutely love the history of the universe and earth you’ve done. Fantastic content as always.
have you checked out their History of Humankind channel? it's fairly new..
Agreed!
so well written and put together, massive props to your channels theyre all so awe inspiring
"as it seems to you or I"???
Precise -- but different and incorrect -- ages of the Universe.
A fine meal spoiled by the little bits of dog shit on the plate.
Somebody did some excellent work on the graphics. It's a pity for them to see their good work ruined by this pretentious gaseous verbiage.
@@TheDavidlloydjones25 comments on this channel similar to this?? How miserable are you☠️
@@TheDavidlloydjonesYour gasious verbiage only reflects on you.
Uploaded right before bed time. Thank you, History of the Universe, tonight will be a great sleep.
I would happily pay to be able to have these videos without ads, not UA-cam premium, and I don’t mean UA-cam premium, I just want these videos 🤷🏽♂️
Some argue that “now” is the only time that truly exists, as the past is gone and the future is not yet here. Others suggest that time is an illusion, and everything is happening simultaneously, with our brains processing events as if they were occurring in a continuous sequence2.
One doesn't need to argue as you can conceptualize time in different phenomena. One would be "Clock Time". Another would be "Psychological Time." Add if necessary.
All simultaneously, in my opinion. Everything that was and will be is all happening at once on the same plane. Our limited human brain sequences the movement of the universe in what we consider "chronological order" but from the beginning to the end is all one....imo
@@RealDonfromBroward It is weird the dilation of time that happens around consciousness or observation, there is nothing else, for 14. Something billion years and then the superposition of all the states of every piece of matter collapses with an observer.
Just absolutely screeches to a halt so we can all have a snail race of consciousness trying to use the stream of absolutely bonkers information to output something useful to continue existing in what it sees as a valid state of now.
When every one of us dies our lightcone of possible positions stretches out into infinity, instantly taking the memory of its position as a human of earth into the end of time.
The “Now is the only time” isn’t a science idea. It’s a spiritual one. Don’t mentally live in the past or future. Live in the now.
We know time is real. We start out as infants and grow to old age. If we’re lucky. The Universe has been emerging to its present state due to long passage of time.
There is a real past and future.
This is one of the few channels I regularly check for new content.
My absoloute favourite thing on UA-cam.
And this episode is a mind bender.
Thank you, History of the Universe.❤
If now never ends, it's infinitely long, if now ends, it's like if never happened at all, in both cases it's not measurable
Everything that ends can be measured
@@boyzinthewood1 Then from that point of view, now is the units of time measured from the beginning till the end, what I meant to say is that if now had no observers, it would be like if there isn't now and it never was
@@odysseus8944 fair enough, that does make sense 👍
It's always now. There is no time that ever existed that wasn't.
@iunnox666 I'm sorry but nope! Not at all. Although every point in time was once "now" it immediately becomes past tense and can literally no longer be classed as now. You've described a contradiction.
Yayyyy!!! New sleep video.
Good Night explore more!
Fantastic work, guys. :)
I dont look at it as as complicated as it might be.
Time is just a measurement to see how many “time passed” or will take to get something
Thats it.
The “now” is just the “material world” we live in, its the existence.
Its the same way when if time pauses and come back years later, everything will stay the same, the universe is nice.
I love you guys.I will probably listen to this at least sixty times before you post a new one.
time goes slowly when not having fun....and yet after years of not having fun, when looking back it seems like years were nothing. so time also changes depending on the angle i'm looking at it 😕
Another awesome and enlightening video! Thank you !
Just fantastic, like all the episodes on the channel. Please keep on existing!
"Even UA-cam videos is still surging towards them at 300,000 km per second". My first thought was this is a cool thought, but then I realized we're also transmitting TikTok videos to the cosmos at the same rate. We're doomed.
😂
This was a really exceptional video. I love all your stuff, but this one stands out!
Beautifully made
If the universe is same 13.8 (approx) billion years old from every point in the universe, then there is a hyper-surface of events that are 13.8 (approx) billion years aware from the reference point (the Big bang). Then by definition that is the global now. And that is what I understand to mean by the work now. There is also perception now at a given event in spacetime that is defined by the surface of the past light cone for signals travelling at the speed to light, or the body of the light cone for signals travelling less than the speed of light. Heck, scientists even say things like - we do not know what is happening on the Sun right "NOW", but only know in 8 minutes. Then what is that NOW in that sentence?
In other words, when we talk about "now" like in this video we should be clear which "now" we are talking about.
IMO intuitively the lay people understand the meaning on "now" to mean the global now I talked about above. So for the perception now should use a different word or compound word and then proceed to say, "Sorry, there is no (perceptive now)!"
This Channel is amazing!!! Thanks a million!
- What is now?
- The current moment.
- This one?
- No, this one.
- This one?
- No, this one.

26:53 Never say "move through space", as it implies you can (it doesn't mean anything, nada, zip, nothing) there is no absolute rest frame and your are never moving relative to or through space. This is a great way to trip up students of special realtivity.
That's very odd. I've always considered one of your points to be absolutely true. There is no "absolute rest frame", I say it differently though "nothing is ever sitting still". I think i like you're way best. Thanks.
Your other point seems contradictory though since everything is always moving I belive there is only "moving through space" always and for ever. 😂😅😉
You don't get invited to a lot of parties, do you?
I understand stand your point that movement is relative to some fixed point, but if you’re moving really, really fast, faster than most other points of reference, don’t you accomplish this by ‘moving through space?’
@ronjon7942 Hi Ron :)
To your question I say Yes.
Keeping on mind that no point is fixed (everything is in constant motion), we move through space relative to some other moving point/s not a fixed or stationary point since there is no such thing as a fixed or stationary point. 😃
When was now for next spring's flower blossoms? How long will I have to wait to smell last year's roses? Does infinity ride on a light beam? Does forever live in the darkness between the twinkle of a star? If no one can experience nothingness, Does it really exist? Since everyone can't experience eveything, is it even real?
HOLY SHEET WHERES MY WEED?

@@danielpaulson8838 yeah sure no problem, destroy your brain, but don't promote this
Your 3 channels are some of my favourites. I always watch them more than once. Just fantastic. Idea for a 4th channel: The Entire History of Civilisation. I’d love your take on it. Or will it be part of your humankind vids.
(Will and Ariel Durants series ‘ The Story of Civilisation’ are my favourite books.)
There’s not a channel out there that brings me this level of excitement when a new video comes out!
explore more! many many channels will make you think. Some can even teach.
I like the way when a train stops, if you are looking at the track through the window, your brain makes it seem like the train is still moving.
This makes me wonder how differently aliens would perceive time and how greatly that would interfere with our communication with them. Because most of our methods of communication rely on our perception of time
That's the plot of the movie Arrival. Well worth a watch if you like that kind of thing.
Some angels once left their dimension to enter ours, they had no problem dealing with our 3 dimensional worlds 4th dimension. They came to mate with the women of our dimension and did so. IDK If you will consider the forthcoming children aliens or not but they had no issue with time either. This information comes from the book of Genesis with a few refraneses in other books of the Bible.
As for space aliens originating from within our own dimension I have 0 credible information to offer you my friend 😢
As for those particular aliens mentioned above they are locked away for now but the children they produced appear to have become what today are known as Demons and very likely present themselves as space aliens among other cleaver cons they do so love to run on us humans. Be careful dealing with any claims of space aliens, They not all as friendly as they may claim to be. 😮
You tend toward musing the things I muse on LSD or mushroom trips in general, but this episode more than usual.
Ok, so this is what Morrissey was so stressed out about…
A Phylosopher's Take on Time.
Entities like lenght, weight, voltage, current, frequency - can be measured with a specific instrument. Curiously, there is no instrument which can measure Time. A clock is an is oscillator, and the display shows how many oscillations have elapsed; we call this "a measure of time". For us, Time is the dissipation of energy, and we call this "The Arrow of Time". Our mind perceive Time as "Passage of Time", a flow permeating the Universe in a relativistic fashion.
One day we will discover what Time truly is. There is something else that is flowing in the Universe, that we perceive as the flow of Time instead...
Greetings,
Anthony
Jumped on 19 seconds into “now.”
That is the measurement of a now
45:07 as a kid when I discovered this I always thought of it imaginatively as if I was temporarily freezing time
Another great video by arguably one of the best educational channels on UA-cam!
Arguably? Care to elaborate 😂😜😉
@@SwanRonsonDonnyJeppI mean, there's History of the Earth and History of Mankind, both solid contenders!
Your videos are amazing! ❤
It's just the best, because when I watch these late st night, I fall asleep even though I don't want to. 😂
Your videos are always gorgeous, well written and perfectly narrated. Thank You for making my evening!
"One flick of it's mighty fluke.."
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that passed around in a conversation.
What happens when your small enough for time to almost be still. And fast enough for time to almost be still.. like a photon
Ive wondered this too. If time basically stops when you travel at light speed. Is the first light ever created after the big bang basically just like a couple of seconds old still ?
That's amazing way of explaining "now" using a pigeon in that way .
I'm so immensely grateful for this channel! Thank you, sincerely!
One of the best videos on YT. Inspires me to read spectroscopy books.
Always a great content on every episode 👏👏👏
Gone is gone and you never get to know youve gone. Thats the beauty of gone. Good luck it is fast and painless to point where youve gone
Awesome new vid time !!!!! Love your work.
I like the voice it is a lot easier to listen to than others . His pronunciations are easy to digest! Thank you.
Probably the best science channel on UA-cam... Excellent!
the tickrate at which we perceive "time" is really a frequency generated by the brain and we can influence that with cognition, this is exactly what derealization and adhd do: they affect how fast we perceive time. This tickrate also varies based on each species and offers a broad range of variation for natural selection to take over more efficiently as a species. It is the eternal great cycles of Samsara, entropy oscillating back and forth on multiple wavelengths simultaneously. Our experience of life going from order to chaos is really biased by our existence at only one side of the larger oscillations of reality. In fact reality is absolutely relative. Time is an illusion, entropy is a fractal of cause and effect, tied together on each end by causality. It is merely another dimension we experience, while riding an energy that oscillates across this spectrum.
Our prception of now is the past
Nah
You are in the here and now, it's your time to shine in a universe that might be infinite or almost infinite to our prospective. So enjoy it, do good, be nice to others, and live well.
There it is. I was eagerly waiting and I've postponed my shower session to watch this 😂
"human intuition is no yardstick for the way the universe really works" I really wish more people could accept this
To everyone here, I implore you with all my heart to check out RUSH's song, "The Garden."
"The future disappears into memory, with only a moment between. Forever dwells in that moment. Hope is what remains to be seen."
I love rush but have never heard that one, what a great song.
Thanks! I am doing that now🙏
Wow ! Such profundity ! Basically ; word salad . A series of words which , when analysed , actually turn out to be meaningless drivel.
Similar to Alan Watts Buddhist shtick ?!
I think about alot of these things very often when at work, and i very much appreciste this.
Your videos are like therapy to me 😀 Please keep them at least one hour long.
Very informative video. Thank you
There is either just one particle in the universe that can become anything or every particle is connecting each other and every single one of them knows where the other is and what its doing instantly
Your informed ideas, they are marred by those that did.
It’s so damn, beautiful. What you are putting out. It’s so damn gorgeous!
This is different from the other HOTU vids, which typically contain a lot of history of cosmology and talk about the issues current in the field. HOTU has been so thorough, and covered so much of current cosmology, that I wondered what you could do next without rehashing old themes again. But you did it.
I am continually impressed, and never bored, with this channel.
The universe is fucking mind blowing. And what an absolutely amazing job yall did at making it much more understandable than any video I've ever seen before. i was getting rolls of goosebumps rippling across over and over again i had to pause it on part 4 to write this comment. the fact we get to be here to ask these questions and get them answered is just phenomenal. Fantastic video, just freakin fantastic
I would say "get answers". "Answered" is too suggestive of factual, formulaic answers. Most of cosmology is theoretical, particularly in terms of grand concepts like the infinite and infinitesimal capacities of time and space.
@@joeblog2672 you are absolutely correct and thank you for making that distinction
40:26 every time you do a pause like this I have to check and see if the video is over. You got me every time.
Thank youuuu for sharing your amazing work with the world ❤️ I love your work and it’s so inspiring to hear your stories of the past 💕 Thank youuuu and thank youuuu
In spiritual practice - here and now - is of vital importance.
It is easily realised - but really - with meditative mind and heart open - revealing depth and the right vibrations.
Now - is not even intuited - by the measuring tendencies of senses - undisciplined and unmastered.
We have no choice - but to work - training for innermost experience - and embrace now - in wonder/originality.
Fare thee well.
I remember the first time I learned - and understood - that dogs experience time differently than we do. They perceive the movement of time differently; their brains slow.time down and the world moves differently for them. Meanwhile as each year passes, I experience the movement of time faster as the amount of time I have been alive grows longer. I wish I could change how I perceived the movement of time to be like a dog's perception of it.
I’ll have to dwell on this as I try to put myself into my pups’ brains. But I certainly am experiencing time moving faster than when I was younger, especially in my pre teens and early adulthood. If your theory on dogs’ behavior is true, yeah - I wish for that too.
I wish snuggling them would help us absorb this power, but for me, laying around petting them REALLY compresses time.
Maybe that’s it - things we can’t stand seem to take forever, things we love happen so quick. And as we age, we’re more accepting of things that used to bother us, gradually making time seem faster. Geez, one can really get lost in this.
@@ronjon7942 I think as we experience more time, passing moments seem shorter in our minds. Our memories begin to grow longer, and so the moments to come begin passing faster. Time begins to feel short. It sucks and I would like a refund on my brain please.
I believe the perception of time speeding up over the years may have to do with how much life experience we have stuffed into our brains. Life was carefree and simple and it took forever for Christmas to come as kids.
Now we play Santa after work and shopping and shoveling snow and paying the bills and……
We’re too busy.
I wish all your other video animations were like this. Great Job Mr Manuel
