I love that Schrödinger’s Cat gets mentioned just as a guest appears for a split second at 13:35 in the shadows on the bottom left of the frame. The timing is flawless.
I thought I was the only one that caught that. 😂😂
Pretty sure this wasn't coincidence, they deliberately made the cat appear at that very moment (probably needed several attempts to work out perfectly)
Most likely, there was a cut in the scene right at that point
Are we sure the cat wasn’t CG?
@@urbanvampyre2706 It looked CG on playback. Anyway, I'm delighted to know I wasn't the only one to notice it.
Everything came into existence last Tuesday.
Define Tuesday
@@anhydrouswater nice !
Perhaps, but was that Tuesday morning, or Tuesday night? Or almost Wednesday?
I thought itbwas last Thursday 🤔
Thursday! You pagan.

I genuinely didn't know about the hierarchical paradox of the four forces until I watched this. Thanks for teaching me something!
Sounds like a bogus comic hero hero origin story of some kind. Doesn’t make it any less possible.
“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
That’s just amazing thanks. Mighty fine.
How profound and how wrong at the same time. Darkness is simply the absence of light, therefore darkness "travels" at the speed of light. As the photon recedes from the source that emitted it, darkness fills the void behind it.
Dont mix facts and fiction, darkness is immaterial... (can thus can not be).
@@Lodrik18 It is all fiction. Most of what we know is scientist telling us their version of a believe. Every few years we find out something that doesn't fit the narrative so then a new story is told. They only called it "Dark Matter" because Starwars already coined "The Force"
In this context darkness is size not speed kid
Our current theory of gravity isn't "wrong" so much as it's incomplete. We can use it to make astonishingly accurate predictions in almost every scenario, but those couple of extremely specific scenarios we can't predict tell us that we're missing something. Einstein and Newton were both correct; they just didn't see the full picture (and we still don't).
Yes! Be careful saying "wrong" when it is incomplete. You'll encourage the, "gravity isn't real flat Earth" trolls 😂
We can't (yet) reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics.
@@Nulli_Di correct, hence my comment that our current theory of gravity is incomplete.
It’s similar to how E=mc^2 is incomplete, it’s not wrong, it’s just only true for stuff not traveling near the speed of light.
@@willisverynice e=mc² _is_ true for objects traveling near the speed of light. Where it breaks down is 1) at the subatomic level, and 2) inside a black hole.
I liked how when you were touching on Schroedinger's Cat thought experiment, a cat walked across behind you on our left. Very subtle humour. 😂
The end left an eerie empty feeling inside me and a buzzing in my brain…
'Dark Matter' has always reminded me of the 'Ether' that scientists were sure existed for light to move through, although it couldn't be seen or measured in any way.
Aether its plasma look up The electric universe sounds crazy at first some will say it is but its very interesting I think its right.
Or phlogiston.

No doubt. We're here, and we're stupid, and we don't realize that every single time as a species we entered somebody else's area we either threw them out or killed them. I'm sure aliens would be super nice to us though.
Annnnnnnnd A.I. has made it to our universe
I guess if some kind of superweapon that will make it easier to destroy other solar systems is possible and we ourselves are going to achieve this in the near future but we are not there yet, then it makes sense. Even theoretical hints that it will be possible for a more advanced civilization to have such a weapon, will meke it a good idea to go unnoticed. The galaxy is big, it should be full of intelligent civilizations, some number of which are advanced enough to be able to destroy us. If only a few of those we assume that is pure evil or just wants to eliminate competition in it's infancy, we should stay quiet...
I've been starting to think that universes multiply like how cells go through mitosis. This would also be supported by the membrane theory and also the multiverse theory. It can help provide an explanation to how the big bang happened as well.
Is that not basically the multi-universe theory?
Taking that further, if each universe is a cell, does that mean they all come together to make up a singular being? If so, did we just discover god?😂
Mind fuck: we are ACTUALLY inside of a cell
@@brandondenny226 you're going to have to clarify

Very clearly written and interesting as hell, even without your epic tangents! I have a questiom to Simon or whomever. Are the scrips uploaded somewhere? I would read this one a few times over 🤘🏻
You can get a transcript below the description
Your cat walking past the open door as you said "Schrodinger's Cat" was peak synchronicity. Great video as always!

I feel like you and the writer dudes would be really good at trivial pursuit and jeopardy without trying much. You've narrated videos on literally everything.
Simon admits regularly that, because he's just reading from a script coupled with the thousands of videos he's narrated, he hardly remembers lots of it. I feel the same having watched thousands of hours myself 🤦♂️
You high five people after banging……? That’s fucking weird dude. Just give her a mushroom stamp and leave. Don’t be weird.
They'd suck at names though.
I work in IT and I can't even remember how to fix something that I figured out how to fix two weeks ago. Anything at work immediately gets swept into my brain's recycle bin lol.
I would probably be better at Jeopardy now than before I started writing, but I would still get absolutely crushed by every geography question, even American geography
Very good! Statement of gravity theory breaking down near blackmore, but not sure where seems confusing. If widely held, as asserted, explains responses to questions about time stopping at event horizon per Einsteinian equations.
One theory that I always found interesting was the one in which we're all living inside of marbles attached to the collars of cats
"One theory that I always found interesting was the one in which we're all living inside of marbles attached to the collars of cats"
To that, one could ask: "Then what is the cat standing on."

@@Kutanamar Is that Zelazny? Or Star Trek? Or maybe Men in Black??
@@howarddooleyjr19 The original post is Men in Black and the first respondent seems to be a fan of the Discworld.
Had this exact thought. Alongside the fact that our universe, in fact, exists in a luggage locker of an entirely different and bigger universe (at least, I think it's a luggage locker)
Very odd fact, but my granddad was the welder who made the satellite dish that exploded in “Contact”
I enjoyed his work.
Simon I am a physicist and I noticed that you forgot to mention that astrophysicists have alrwady produced a map of the dark matter structure of the universe using gravitational lensing. It looks like an enormous network where most of the galaxies form along the arms and nodes of the network. I would be surprised if this did not come up during your writer's research
@S. G. as above so below
that's great. Science academia is still closed down to Newtonian Physics in the Cosmos. It doesn't fit. Why not try base 12 mathematics. All stars / systems rotate around the center of the galaxy at the same speed 250 million years no matter how far or close. That doesn't align with Newton so you created dark matter.
@@red2blackprofits unfortunately there is a history of this especially in physics. This is why it is still theoretical and there are other hypothesese that try to to explain the phenomena. This is just the one that best describes it. We are still kind of stumbling in the dark so to speak for a lot of different things. I have my own theory that looks at things on a more fundamental level
That way we also have prooven by now that Dark Matter and Gravity are not intrinsically linked, so the theory of it just being an artifact of Gravity is also out. It`s definitely something on its own, we just don´t know what yet.
Don't like creators that don't reply to smart, intelligent comments.
What if an immortal being with a human like body/brain was lost in space floating for eons, and their only form of entertainment is to imagine a world in their head? And over time they became so good at locking themselves in said imagination that it became like a new life? That life being what we experience when "living". This is an odd idea I have has floating around in my mind for a while and hearing that last theory reminded me of it 😅

“Even those who agree with the [Boltzmann Brain] probabilities don’t believe that’s the reality in which we’re living” is cold comfort, given that: if I’m a Boltzmann Brain, those people, their assurances, and even the “we” in the clause “in which we’re living”…none of them really exist
Bro you looking distinguished as heck right now. Good for you man, I remember when your channel started, and now you’re clearly moving up. 👏 well done Mr Whistler 👏
Not sure I followed all of that but this was a fantastic video.
More mind provoking stuff always appreciated
If I'm some sort of cosmic hallucination at the end of the universe, then it's a baaad trip, man.
This is so well written, and explained. thank you, bookmark for multiple re-listens
"You're a Boltzmann Brain" sounds like a schoolyard taunt.😝😝😝😝
the bully who later in life took Occam's Razor to Schrodinger's Cat....and got suspended from school.
“I think we've underestimated the life on this planet. The people have so much courage. Here they are hurling through space on a molten rock at 67,000 miles an hour and the only thing that keeps them from flying out of their shoes is their misplaced faith in gravity.”
- Dick Solomon, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Season 1: Brains and Eggs
Also.. the Boltzmann brain at the heat death of the universe definitely explains why I feel so bloody cold all the time xD
Studied most of these theories when I was younger and in school. Some of it kind of made me the man that I am today.
One crazy theory I read about is that gravity does not exist in the first place. Or, more accurate, it does, but its only a side effect of time and mass interacting. The metaphor would be a boat on a river. The river flows in one direction and the boat drifts along. The closer you get to the river bank, the slower the water flows. Now, once you get close enougth, the water on one side flows noticibly faster than on the side towards the river bank, and that exerts a force onto the boat pushing it towards the river bank. In this metaphor time would be the flowing river, an large object with mass would be the river bank and the boat a smaller one. The idea is that the faster flow of time is exerting a force towards a mass rich object, the small difference of, for example your feet and your heads time speed, being what actually causes what we observe as gravity. So, the theory states , its not gravity that pushes you down, its time.
I believe you’re right 😊
It's literally called Relativity. The Einstein thing.
There's literally nothing crazy about anything you've just said
i get what you mean, if it's time than why the apple didn't fall upward ?
there is absolutely some kind of force that makes the apple go downward. and time are not force.
what is time anyway.
@@DGraze You are correct that time is not a force. It is an dimension. But that does not mean an interaction does not cause an effect we might percive as a force. In this theory, its basically the three spacial dimensions being warped by an interaction with the time dimension, and not mass directly warping the three spatial dimensions. Whats nice about this theory is that it makes the existence of the so far unprofen and higly theoretical graviton unnessesary. To make it very rougth, if you take a bucket with water and spin it around the water wont fall out, like there is gravity. But its not, there is no force. Its just inertia and the change in direction creating the illusion of a force.
As far as light once being faster, I feel like in the given example of the big bangs rapid expansion of the universe, would it not be better to say that the light itself wasn’t any faster, just the space itself becoming larger. Like in the warp drives of Scifi that warp space around the ship, it’s usually suggested the ship isn’t moving at all.
You just described inflation theory, which is a whole different problem. One of the reasons some argue that the speed of light may have been different, is because some aspects of the universe appear to be younger then what cosmology says, and that would affect carbon dating, the age of the universe, etc… One of the problems with inflation is where did the universe get the energy for the rapid expansion, and/or where did that energy go. Both, inflation and the speed of light bring with them more questions than they do answers, which makes the whole of cosmological theory look like a worn patchwork quilt. At this point, nothing makes any sense!
@@johnharrison5656 For that matter, neither does quantum physics. We still haven’t decided if light is a beam or a particle or something else entirely. It seems to have a mind of its own. I would expect nothing less from the entire universe.
@@rus19297 Lol The Wave Function 😂
Pretty sure they've proven the big bang didn't happen
Light can be sped up. If light travels directly toward a large mass, the space bends toward the mass, drawing it closer, faster. It BENDS it toward the mass. Just like light can be bent around a large mass.
Simon here is so good with science, Im a multi degree science grad and he's always on the money, I learn more myself!
He just reads a script written for him by others. 🙄
If you view gravity as a repulsive force emitted from empty space due to its non-affinity for matter the planets, solar systems, galaxies, and the universe would behave as they are observed to do. This would also explain the impossibility of detecting the ‘graviton’ as well as the exponential expansion of the universe.
I gotta ask, did you do more than one take of the "Schrodinger's Cat" segment just get your cat in frame or did you just get lucky? Either way, brilliant.
The cat planned it all along
It's not a real cat, its vfx
@@alpiasker yes but a mysterious cat could still be the mastermind behind it all...

Thank you Simon, I always wanted to question the existence of everything including myself.
The Boltzmann Brain theory is a true mind-blower.
The was the best explanation for cosmic expansion that I've heard. Somehow most scientists tend to fumble when explaining it (trying to insert caveats and addendums).
Thanks! 💕
And scientists don't have word counts to adhere to. But more importantly, something I learned as a Magic: the Gathering judge was to explain things simply. For example, you lose the game if you need to draw a card but have none left in your deck to draw. There are a lot of UNLESS comments that can follow, but going into that doesn't help them understand, it just confuses the main concept.
Scientists have to insert caveats and addendums. Certainty belongs in religion.
@@davidhoward4715 Agreed. Which is why it's often good with science communicators who can simplify so that people with less scientific backgrounds can still follow - even if they sometimes dumb it down so much that it technically isn't correct. Here I feel that they managed to both keep it correct and simple. I admire that.
Caveats and Addendums would be a great first album title for The Boltzmann's Brains.
@@stephenmorton8017 Yes!
13:30 There is no way its a coincidence that a cat walks in the background as soon as Simon mentions Schrodinger's cat 😅
edit: on rewatch its actually clearly an animation haha
The concept that our dimension is in a membrane and that there is a forth dimension that has the majority of the bulk outside the membrane is insane. So it’s insane in the membrane.
The human brain doesn't contain thought. It is just a more sensitive receiver transmitter. Thought, analytics, innovation and the ability to record, theorize and share these intangible materials is the true mystery.
Our best antennae are barely able to pick up the voyagers at 22.5 W, +48dB from voyager's antenna, and 120 AU. It's estimated the signal will drop below background noise by 200 AU (but the power to transmit is likely to be gone before then).. We don't need to worry -
1) we reuse almost all communications frequencies - even back in the 1930's - within 60° of latitude and/or longitude. The signals are going to be out of phase, resulting in a lot of noise.
2) even a 50 MW broadcast is losing a lot. Our biggest radio signal ran about that strong. Due to lack of collimation, it's only going to get picked up by a +70dB Deep Space Network at sqrt(1.3e5) × the ranage, or about 82000 AU... a light year is 63241.1 AU... not even enough to get to the nearest star system.
3) even given all that, there is the formatting issue. Our video encoding for broadcast is pretty messy. So, if they detect and record is, they're unlikely to be able to make sense of it. And that is due to the way we included sound and video. If they guess wrong, it's just noise. (after all, each watt is roughly 1e40 photons ± a factor of 1000... past a certain distance, there just aren't enough photons to carry signal.)
That was either great editting or perfect timing by the cat who walked in the background at the end when Simon mentioned Schrodinger's cat
At some point, most higher order physics is indistinguishable to the layman from theology in its content; the only difference is you have Hawkins considering entropy in a black hole and not Aquinas wondering how many angels dance on the head of a pin.

My Boltzman brain keeps on generating more and more Simon Whistler videos as it descends into madness from complete isolation.
fortunately you being a boltzman brain is very unlikely simply because your perceived surrounding would be vastly more likely to be less complex. the most likely explanation of our surrounding is that they actually exist. the only thing debatable is what is the ultimate medium we are all in.
@@roboticgamer8990 My Boltzman brain perceives exactly as much detail as I can imagine. Therefore the universe is only as complex as I am able to perceive. This includes other people commenting to challenge my perception. :D
@@surferdude4487 Also notice how the moment you turn your attention away from a detail it ceases to exist. On top of that, if you ever find something too precise, your boltzmann brain will simply block it out and convince itself nothing is wrong.
Weird observation... The word "and" is one of the most common words in the English language. However Simon rarely uses it.

The 1932 Olympic Games TV signal was a closed circuit broadcast and thus the power used was quite low. So low that it was not powerful enough to be seen on the moon let alone light years away.
Regarding the variable speed of light ... what about the speed of causality?
As I understand speed of light (in a vacuum) just happily coincides with the speed of causality, but to claim that lightspeed could have been higher means that speed of causality must have been higher too (or it would lead to a ton of paradoxes).
However even if light could somehow change phase I don't see what could happen to affect the speed of causality.
My refutation of the Boltzmann Brain hypothesis would have been that if I were a brain and all of this life and world were in my imagination, I wouldn't possibly imagine a life as hard and cruel as the real world -- but then I realized that if I am a Boltzmann Brain, I may only exist for a fraction of a second (because honestly, how long could a brain survive in a heat death of the universe environment?), and in that time I was formed with all of these memories intact; I'm only *remembering* the horrible tricks the universe has played on me and everyone else. Of all the untestable hypotheses, I dislike this one the most.
Azathoth is a Boltzmann Brain
There's an anthropic principle though that there could be an vast number of Boltzmann Brains that have false memories of wonderful universes, however, the fact that you imagine the harsh one is simply because you are a 'harsh' Boltzmann Brain.
I remember back in HS, I decided to do my final physics project (it was like a mini-thesis -- preppy school tbh) on dark matter. Well... I had to quickly change topics because there was and still is very, very, very little known on the topic. I chose anti-matter and had fun studying that.
I thought there was very little known about anti-matter too.
@@themacocko6311 not on Star Trek 😂
@@themacocko6311 There is, but there was more than enough for a research project. And even more info on it today. As for dark matter, the deal was "We know it exists, but that's it."
@@themacocko6311 I also covered theoretical application of anti-matter, which there were many thanks to the US military 😂 they'd weaponize a strand of hair if they could.
Thank you for getting Schrödinger's cat right. There's far to many science channels mention it without explaining the intent of the thought experiment.
If space has an information transmission rate saturation limit then the graviational effect would depend on the number of informational events happening locally and how much of the saturation limit they ate up. As the saturation limit is approached events have to wait and time slows down.
If you have 2 massive objects the event rate is slower in the space between the 2 objects and faster outwardly. Which would indicate the 2 objects are being pushed together rather than acually being pulled together.
You’re getting there 😉
I always had a headcannon that the universe isn't like a wide open field but like a crumpled piece of paper where dark matter is just other parts of the universe (planets, blackholes, etc.) impacting local space
.
It's shaped like a 🍩
One crazy theory; we are the imagination of ourselves and nothing truly exists.
Thats more an biology thing, and is maybe not all that wrong. There is some scary implications that conciousness is just our brains are just imagining ourselfs after the fact to justify why it did something for a smooth operation.
i love how as soon as you mention Schrödinger's cat a cat starts walking across the dark bottom left corner of the background
In photography you focus light, you open the aperture to let more light in, film speed comes in different sensitivities. If we accept the phase shift of light being a genuine possibility, then what variable caused it? When light is focused it produces heat. When an image is out of focus the same light is hitting the lens the lens is just focused on a different point. Gravity is what holds stars in their shape condensing the energy enough to emit light. So the shift it stands to reason could be an altering of gravity made by the condensing of matter to therefore emit light. Like focusing a lens to produce heat at that point of condensing light would attain its speed. Like stretching elastic. So for me it stands to reason this theory makes sense even in our level of existence. From photography, to mirage, what created the sun like magnifying glass burning ants. You don’t create a lens in water without letting the mud settle first.
Simon needs a box of Cadbury’s Milk Tray on the shelf behind him if he’s gonna dress like that! 😅
I've always wondered if Gravity was a side effect of mixing the other fundemental forces. Which is why it exists, but is weaker than the other forces.

Frequency separation. Perception based on frequency your pineal gland is tuned into. Everything is digital solids based on the vibration from a specific frequency each organism perceived as its surroundings. It’s far more complex that that, but, it is a start.
Contact is one of my favorite books. Was not expecting it to get mentioned
Finally *the* explanation. Simon is the Boltzmann Brain. All of these channels, all of these videos, all of this information, all of us supposedly real people watching it: it's all going on in Simon's brain, as there is nothing remaining of whatever actually existed before. Keep on talking to yourself, Simon's brain! You are the universe!
When I was doing Ayahuasca at a Peruvian ceremony in the Amazon jungle, I was shown behind the veil, and what I realized made me want to throw up, and it took months before my mind would let me access what I learned that time again. There was nothing, and I'm not real, and nothing has actually ever happened. The now, future, and past were only parts of the illusion that made me believe that I was real and something that was separate from nothingness.
I had never heard of the Boltzmann brain theory before, but I think it has an affinity for the deepest level of "truth" that I was shown.
The real problem with "nothingness" is that it's probably the one theory that simply can't be true.
There are VERY few things we can truly "know". There is a famous saying: "I think, therefore I am", and I am certain that the fact that I have thoughts means that SOMETHING exists. It doesn't really mean that I exist or that the world exists or anything else, but it does mean that at least something exists because those thoughts themselves are "something", and those thoughts certainly do "exist" in a way.
Red Shift: Consider the following:
a. Current narrative: Space itself is expanding. (Even though science does not fully know yet what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually expand).
b. But consider: The net effect of solar winds, particles and energy pushing outward from galaxies, (even modern science claims 'em' has momentum), continuously, over a prolonged period of time, with other galaxies doing the same, with nothing to stop them from doing so, would tend to push galaxies away from each other and even potentially allow the cosmic web to form between galaxies.
And then, when we here in our galaxy, look at far away galaxies, with other galaxies in between, the net effect of all those galactic interactions would have galaxies furthest from ours move away faster the further those galaxies were from us, including us perceiving a red shift of energy.
c. Now, utilizing the scientific principal of Occam's razor, which way is more probably correct? What the current narrative is ('a' above), or 'b' utilizing known physics?
* Added note: Plus, 'if' my analysis is correct that our spiral shaped galaxy is collapsing in upon itself, then consider also:
d. When we look at solar systems between ours and the center of the galaxy, those solar systems would be getting pulled faster towards the center than ours, hence also seeing a red shift of energy.
e. When we look at solar systems between ours and the outer edge of the galaxy, our solar system would be getting pulled faster towards the center then them, hence also seeing a red shift of energy.
f. Only if we looked at solar systems adjacent to ours should we see a blue shift of energy (as the solar systems became closer together as they moved towards the center of the galaxy). I also propose looking for blue shifts of energy between our solar system and adjacent solar systems to confirm or deny this current belief.
g. But if true, would also add to our observation of seeing a red shift of energy in this universe as our spiral shaped galaxy collapses in upon itself.
Of which, not only would species from this Earth have to get off of this Earth before the Sun becomes a red giant one day and wipes out all life on this Earth if not even the entire Earth itself, but species from this Earth would also have to successfully get out of this collapsing spiral shaped galaxy, otherwise, most probably death awaits us all and this Earth and all on it are all just a waste of space time in this universe. All life from this Earth would eventually die and go extinct. Currently, no exceptions.
h. QUESTION: Do basically all galaxies eventually collapse in upon themselves?
(Which would add to the perceived red shift between galaxies as they all basically shrink in size).
Modern science currently states that 'gravity' is matter bending the fabric of spacetime. There is a lot of matter in a galaxy and hence would make a huge dent in spacetime. How could galaxies not collapse in upon themselves if space and time were bent to make it so?
Of which also, the progression of galaxies?:
1. How exactly do galaxies form? (The current narrative is that matter, via gravity, attracts other matter. The electric universe model also includes universal plasma currents.)
2. How exactly do galaxies flatten out if gravity is acting on the whole galaxy? (Other forces must also be at work besides gravity for a galaxy to flatten out? Electrical and/or magnetic forces?)
3. How exactly do galaxies become spiral shaped? (At least one way would be orbital velocity of matter with at least gravity acting upon that matter, would cause a spiral shaped effect. The electric universe model also includes energy input into the galaxy, which spiral towards the galactic center, which then gets thrust out from the center, at about 90 degrees from the input. Additionally, with the conservation of energy, as energy moves into the vertical plane from the center of the horizontal plane, energy from the horisontal plane moves to the center of the horizontal plane to replace the energy that moved into the vertical plane. There is also the conservation of angular momentum. As more matter moves towards the center of the galaxy, that portion of the galaxy would speed up relative to the matter towards the outer portions of the galaxy.)
4. The natural progression of a galaxy would be to become smaller and smaller.
5. Of which, does all life throughout the entire universe (if other life even exists in the universe besides what is on this Earth, which is most probably true) eventually die and go extinct and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately just a waste of spacetime in existence?
And even 'if' the current narrative of space itself is expanding, and the entire universe would eventually end in a 'big freeze', wouldn't the end of life itself in this entire universe still occur?
My personal theory on the universe is that is doesn’t matter. How you behave does. A thought is just a thought, but an action is permanent. If we are just a collection of false memories I’m just happy my memories involve trying to be nice to people
We still don't know if Schrodinger's cat was alive or dead while it was in the box ,but we know it's ghost is haunting Simon's office ,it's nice that he has some company .Personally I'm quite content with the idea that I'm a disembodied "Brain" full of false memories ,it explains why reality sometimes seems questionable .

Gravity always amazes me. The simple fact that is a powerful force that is completely invisible.
What like a magnet 🤔
Or nuclear power
So... The other forces are not invisible?
@@joriankell1983 None so powerful and amazing like gravity. It extends millions of light years, it governs the motions of the universe, holds the galaxies together, so powerful that it can actually bend light.
@@martinschulz9381 except it doesn't hold galaxies together. I've seen the math, it doesn't work.
Combining two of these theories together we might be able to assume that if gravity can "escape" whatever universe it came from, then dark matter could be the affects of gravity from other universes affecting ours and vice versa. It would explain why it's completely undetectable and why gravity is so weak.
Soooooo...the multiverse is correct?
@@brandondenny226 How? By that logic then dark matter/energy don't exist at all and these unexplainable events are actually made up by scientists and not actually happening. Our planet and even our solar system are so small in the universe that the affects of dark matter and dark energy are not even be detectable. It's only on the massive scale of galaxies that we begin to see this stuff occurring. I never said planet's don't have gravity lol. I'm just speculating that each body in the universe could possibly "leak" small amounts of their gravity between universes at random moments in time. Kind of like how particles can randomly pass through a barrier (quantum tunneling).
@@brandondenny226possibly leading to the idea that planetary “gravity” (or mass attraction) is a completely separate force
Good point. This could have implications for phenomena like the strength of gravity across different distances or the behavior of gravitational waves.
The open door creating a cross is so subtle.
Awe Simon, you are awesome, your writers are amazing. Give them a day out of the basement.
Would be interesting to find that dark matter was the gravitational fingerprints of the influence other membrane universes have on us. You can imagine the position of mass in a higher dimensional space resulting in the gravitational influence being offset in a lower dimension. Maybe this would accelerate things like the rotational speed of galaxies 🤔
The idea of entropy is a sort of logical fallacy because it says that time, space, and matter is "disorder". And that this disorder tends to increase.
Or maybe more formally it is the idea that a system tends to become unpredictable and less and less of the heat is available to be used for work. But to me what this is really describing is an eventual breakaway from a single point of perspective being able to measure what is being observed.
And I think more recent ideas in physics tell us that it is possible that consciousness creates ordering in the universe. Also randomness is not really impossible to predict, and neither is chaos. It's just harder to predict than deterministic systems.
One add on to the Dark Matter part. We know by now that Dark Matter is not just an artifact of gravity, but its own tangible (wel not really, its by definition intangible but you get what I mean) thing. We can tell due to observation of galaxys and galaxy clusters that in coliding ripped the Dark Matter from the others, and also that Galaxys with very little to basically no Dark Matter exist. So gravity and Dark Matter are not intrinsically linked.
I’m familiar with this, however how many Sigma is this information? Because anything less then six sigma isn’t rigorous enough to be considered “fact”. That’s an accuracy of 99.99996%. Most astro physics is somewhere between 80%-90% once we pass out of parallax at a 1/4 arc second.
Combine dark matter with string theory, maybe dark matter is matter in the bulk?
ua-cam.com/video/YkWiBxWieQU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThunderboltsProject
@@john-paulsilke893 I don´t know how many sigma, but the fact that its seperate is indisputable. To put it simple, we have pictures of it. We know galaxis without dark matter exist, so dark matter cannot be an artifact of gravity, as every galaxy would have to have dark matter for that to be the case. But galaxys like DF2 throw a wrench in that because they don`t. To put it simple, we can be sure because we have pics of it, so it happened.
@@theexchipmunk don’t force your phone to misspell separate lol
I don't know why I found that cat to be incredibly creepy when it walked by. I think that we will eventually be able to peer into extra dimensions and even alternate realities if we can maintain our scientific advancements and not destroy ourselves or succumb to our own arrogance/ignorance. The technology just doesn't exist yet but some day it will and people will take it as a norm to see what we can't see now.
That was Schrodinger's cat! I wondered if anyone else noticed it. 😆
..and that cat just happened to walk by when Simon was talking about Schodiggers cat?
I did!! What puuurfect timing!!@@Karin_Allen
Every time Simon starts a new channel, a big bang happens in a new universe
The 'simplest' way one might explain the macroscopic universe including gravity is as no more than emergent properties of the 'quantum realm'.
Such a view is both useful and unhelpful:
-Everything we see in the macroscopic universe makes sense as a consequence of the quantum mechanics we already know.
-But as it is not possible to predict emergent behaviour from 'fundamental rules' we have no ability to model one from the other.
ie: You can't predict emergent behaviour even when you know the fundamental rules, you have to 'run the experiment' to see what emerges. You may then make rules to describe the emergent behaviour but you can't use either set of 'rules' to predict the other. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity?
I should point out this is only my (unpopular) view that seems to fit what we know - possibly unpopular because if true we will never combine QM and GR in a 'theory of everything' because QM is already the theory of everything... with the caveat that we would be forced to accept it has little practicable macroscopic value unless we find the means to predict emergent behaviour from fundamental rules.
I'm still at a loss to why gravity is so weak when black holes are so immensely strong
Black holes only have strong gravity near them
@@sandybarnes887 What does that even mean??
@@kerbal666 if the sun turned into a black hole our orbit around it wouldn't change
@@sandybarnes887 yeah I know that that's not my question the question is of all the forces why is it so weak when apparently black holes are so strong can you not see the paradox I'm addressing here?
@@kerbal666 There is simply a LOT of gravity in a black hole. The gravitational force of a kilogram of mass is incredibly tiny. However, there are so many kilograms of mass in a black hole that it all adds up.
My brain hurts or maybe that’s just a planted memory of my brain hurting from the planted memory of watching this video

Aliens: How many planets are in your system?
Adolf Hitler: NEIN!!
Buckminster Fuller has some really good takes on this. Also, he maintained that there were 4 spatial dimensions, because tetrahedra. We just like squares, so it makes it more difficult.
What the hell are you on about lol
More like donuts, they link better seen a documentary on it seemed they were onto something
But all this is simply what’s perceivable what about all the Imperceivable
@@m2heavyindustries378 His book Synergetics really explores this, but a quicker take is in Cosmography. Also, Critical Path is pretty darn good as well.
"Because tetrahedra" what?
I like that Sideprojects has taken a little flavour of Decoding the Unknown with the subtitle "but this shit could actually be real". Quantum theory is one of my favourite topics to read about as a layperson. It is so bizarre in so many ways. It might not be complete and still could be incorrect but given our understanding of the universe, the maths work out. There is no describable mechanic that allows for conscience to continue after death, or for angels or ghosts except magic. Winning the quantum lottery and suddenly passing through a solid wall, possible. Even the craziest of theories like string theory has a potential mechanism and maths to describe reality.
I Read somewhere that consciousness like Einstein e=mc2 suggests it cannot be created nor distroid mealy a change in state.
I love how a cat walks across in the lower left background at 13:34 as he is mentioning Schrodinger's cat...
Regarding the olympic broadcast. Afaik, the inverse square law would make any radiosignal(that's not a consentrated beam like a laser) unreadable somewhere around 80ly away unless you have a solar system size antenna. So in other words, the olympic broadcast has already traveled too far to be readable by any approaching aliens or alien worlds 100ly away
The one about gravity is interesting. I had a theory that all realities were similar to the chambers of a ship, some submerged and some not, that the gravitational force in our 'chamber' is weak because in another chamber the 'water' would be higher. Theoretically if true there may be realities where gravity is weaker still or so powerful star formation isn't possible. Still, only a theory.
I have the day off today, I think I'll produce a theory about something...
Sounds like membrane theory
I have a theory that all universes are being milked from the utters of a cosmic cow. Thank you cow daddy
Trying to comprehend some of the theories in this really puts into perspective how much of a dumbarse I am compared to these scientists and academics.
Fact check: Dark matter doesn't make matter move faster than the speed of light, that is impossible. What it does it stretch or expand space time (which has no mass and that can go faster than the speed of light). So the objects aren't moving faster than the speed of light, however the space between us and said object is expanding/stretching faster than the speed of light. Those objects could be moving toward us spatially in relation to our position, but the space between increases non the less.
Everyone already knows that. He just misspoke in the video
You seem to conflate dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is matter we can only see via its gravitational effect. Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the universe. Despite the similar name, as far as we can tell, they are completely unrelated.
Bold of you to assume that it is impossible to move FTL..... all the space beyond the edge of the observable universe would like to have a word with you.
@@captainspaulding5963 Those objects aren't moving FTL, the space between us and them is expanding FTL. Space time has no mass and thus can expand FTL. matter cannot.
Is anyone else reminded of the episode of Futurama with the giant brains when he went over the Boltzmann Brain theory? “I’m a gigantic brain!”
The Boltzman's Brain is interesting, because it might give us an avenue for explaining how scribbles in a book (or on a computer screen) actually transfer knowledge from one mind to another, where the only thing being exchanged is information.
Explain more pls
@@SaltyAsTheSea When you read a book, you view symbols that create information pathways in your brain. But the symbols are just that, symbols, not the actual information. Instead, the symbols appear to act as keys that unlock information that already exists in your mind. So if the mind contains infinite information, how can we unlock it more effectively?
@@Wichitan I think that's bordering the buddhist concept of enlightenment. If your whole brain simply "lit up" all the paths not taken become moot because the destination has been reached
@@jamescheddar4896 From my readings into Buddhism, zen, etc., I don't think that's quite how it works. There may be certain disciplines that can achieve something like that, but the search for nirvana/satori more concerns itself with casting off preconceived notions of the world. Just my take.
@@Wichitan this is far to complicated for that religion, it's more about coming to terms with your struggles life and it's ups and downs. Enlightenment isn't knowing everything it's accepting sometimes you just don't have a say in the matter and it's all very confusing
I'm a firm believer in the Douglas Adams theory that the second we figure out the universe, it'll be immediately replaced by something even far more inexplicable.
And that this has already happened a number of times.

....but if the mice just up and disappear, we're good and fkd.
People ask the wrong questions....like, why are we here? That speaks more to the ego of humanity than anything else. Why is a blade of glass here? Why does it exist? Why is there an amoeba or a virus, or a shark? Things exist and that is all that matters, I don't think that in the grand scheme of the universe we matter any more than a blade of grass.
You obviously didn’t read the Bible and initiate with your nearest cult… don’t you know religions say we are made in the image of God and super important……….
Okay but hear me out: why does ANYTHING exist?
Like seriously, why is there something instead of nothing? Actually, what even IS something? What does existing really mean? What is nothing? Why are the laws of physics the way they are and what upholds them? Why are there any laws at all? Why does time exist?
Ofcourse, it might be that all of these "why" questions are stupid anyway, and that is the wrong thing to ask in the first place, as "reality" (whatever that even means) doesn't really bend to our monkey-brain conceptions of logic and reasoning, and thus "why" might be a truly unanswerable question.
Revised TOE: 3/25/2017a.
My Current TOE:
THE SETUP:
1. Modern science currently recognizes four forces of nature: The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism.
2. In school we are taught that with magnetism, opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a large horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. (I have proved this to myself with magnets and anybody with a large horseshoe magnet and two smaller bar magnets can easily prove this to yourself too. It occurs at the outer end of the inner arc of the horseshoe magnet.).
3. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them.
4. Protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them.
5. Photons also have both an electric and a magnetic component to them.
FOUR FORCES OF NATURE DOWN INTO TWO:
6. When an electron is in close proximity to the nucleus, it would basically generate a 360 degree spherical magnetic field.
7. Like charged protons would stick together inside of this magnetic field, while simultaneously repelling opposite charged electrons inside this magnetic field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field.
8. There are probably no such thing as "gluons" in actual reality.
9. The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are probably derivatives of the electro-magnetic field interactions between electrons and protons.
10. The nucleus is probably an electro-magnetic field boundary.
11. Quarks also supposedly have a charge to them and then would also most likely have electro-magnetic fields associated with them, possibly a different arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks.
12. The interactions between the quarks EM forces are how and why protons and neutrons formulate as well as how and why protons and neutrons stay inside of the nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do.
THE GEM FORCE INTERACTIONS AND QUANTA:
13. Personally, I currently believe that the directional force in photons is "gravity". It's the force that makes the sine wave of EM energy go from a wide (maximum extension) to a point (minimum extension) of a moving photon and acts 90 degrees to the EM forces which act 90 degrees to each other. When the EM gets to maximum extension, "gravity" flips and EM goes to minimum, then "gravity" flips and goes back to maximum, etc, etc. A stationary photon would pulse from it's maximum extension to a point possibly even too small to detect, then back to maximum, etc, etc.
14. I also believe that a pulsating, swirling singularity (which is basically a pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon) is the energy unit in this universe.
15. When these pulsating, swirling energy units interact with other energy units, they tangle together and can interlock at times. Various shapes (strings, spheres, whatever) might be formed, which then create sub-atomic material, atoms, molecules, and everything in existence in this universe.
16. When the energy units unite and interlock together they would tend to stabilize and vibrate.
17. I believe there is probably a Photonic Theory Of The Atomic Structure.
18. Everything is basically "light" (photons) in a universe entirely filled with "light" (photons).
THE MAGNETIC FORCE SPECIFICALLY:
19. When the electron with it's associated magnetic field goes around the proton with it's associated magnetic field, internal and external energy oscillations are set up.
20. When more than one atom is involved, and these energy frequencies align, they add together, specifically the magnetic field frequency.
21. I currently believe that this is where a line of flux originates from, aligned magnetic field frequencies.
NOTES:
22. The Earth can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic field, electrical surface field, and gravity, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
23. The flat spiral galaxy can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic fields on each side of the plane of matter, the electrical field along the plane of matter, and gravity being directed towards the galactic center's black hole where the gravitational forces would meet, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
24. As below in the singularity, as above in the galaxy and probably universe as well.
25. I believe there are only two forces of nature, Gravity and EM, (GEM). Due to the stability of the GEM with the energy unit, this is also why the forces of nature haven't evolved by now. Of which with the current theory of understanding, how come the forces of nature haven't evolved by now since the original conditions acting upon the singularity aren't acting upon them like they originally were, billions of years have supposedly elapsed, in a universe that continues to expand and cool, with energy that could not be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense? My theory would seem to make more sense if in fact it is really true. I really wonder if it is in fact really true.
26. And the universe would be expanding due to these pulsating and interacting energy units and would also allow galaxies to collide, of which, how could galaxies ever collide if they are all speeding away from each other like is currently taught?
DISCLAIMER:
27. As I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know, the above certainly could be wrong. It would have to be proved or disproved to know for more certainty.
Hey interesting I independently came up with the membrane theory. Though mine suspects alternate universes can exist in the same space but outside of our perception accounting for dark matter clumping to the edges of matter as it's on the inverted side of this paradigm
My theory- There are as many simons as there are Kruegers
No he is a nsa deep fake to test the population iq
I always thought that extra dimensions existed (although how many is unknown) simply because black holes exist. The matter sucked in by a singularity has to go somewhere - the laws of physics (thermodynamics?) state you can’t just turn matter into nothing so why not have that energy that was matter travel into another dimension? Perhaps someone better versed in astrophysics can better explain what I mean if I haven’t cocked up my explanation completely 😂 😂
The recently viewed a black hole eating a super nova.... It then spat it back out..... Just in smaller pieces
could be that digested matter crushed to impossible small is shot out of the ass end of a black hole into another dimension that becomes another universe! many scientists believe our universe is way too organized to be original....that our universe is made up of re processed matter and that is why its so organized. its why we can have "laws of physics". If it was newly original it should be just general chaos. but the particles behave consistently like they "know" what they are supposed to do.

A live pheromone signature detected on camera in an infrared spectrum could be construed as a disruption of dark matter and it's eventual closure as the signature fades.
Every living being who moves through space leaves a trace amount of elements behind, hence the signature.
If we are just floating brains of some kind with false memories then the memories are being designed in chronological order meaning they had to happen to someone or something somewhere at some time so we are us…even if we aren’t technically. Kind of weird to think about.
You understand it all wrong. The "memories" aren't really a thing. It's all just neural connections and electrical currents in your brain, which means that if that brain was floating in nothingness, then as long as those signals and connections in your brain happen in the same way, you can't tell the difference. The "memories" in this theory aren't really memories in the true sense, because they never happened and thus are not a record of true events. You could call them hallucinations.
