One of the most fascinating and troubling things about cosmology is that so much of our "knowledge" is built upon some assumptions that we have not (and likely cannot) verify with 100% accuracy. The problem with determining distances across the universe is that our baseline is emission spectrum analysis and reverse engineering the red shift. Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming some wildly outlandish criticism or saying that our scientific experiments and calculations are worthless. I'm only saying that we cannot be 100% sure if ALL supernovae have the same emission spectrum everywhere. We use these to calculate the red shift (called "standard candles") and, because we know the speed of light/causality, and interpolate a distance. Then you get into the "extra mass" problem with galaxies and we would up with something called "dark matter." I mean, you can't exactly use a tape measure to see exactly how far objects are. Nor can you put a galaxy onto a scale. People have found some clever work arounds but it's interesting to consider how far off our measurements could be and what effect that might have on our understanding.
“We all know that the observable universe is estimated to be approximately 13.7 billion years old” *nervously looks around room* ……yes, yes of course we do.
For those wondering, the universe being “flat” does not mean it’s like a sheet of paper. It simply means that trigonometry holds up over vast distances. If space was “curved”, then measurements taken with lasers over massive distances would defy basic trig and the angles would be off kilter…well they’re not, thus space is indeed “flat” for a lack of better term.
I was actually just wondering this. I had accepted “Flat” as an end all be all term but also wondered- If supernovas, big bangs, and black holes all shoot quasars (particle building atomic material) in either up and down (Intersecting direction to a black hole) or all directions- then why is everything on a parallel??
Its only flat for as far as we can see, the earth for example up close seems perfectly flat when your standing on it, its only far from the surface that we can dstinguish a curve which is why we have to deal with the plight of flat-earthers. Our measurements are based on the small bit of the universe that we can observe, the distance we can observe could very well be such a small portion that we cant detect a curve because the curve isnt noticable until we can observe space at a particular distance. We might never find out if the universe has an edge or not and its probably better we didnt. The answer to me is absolutely frightening anyways. Either there is an end, which means theres something on the other side that defys the laws of reality, because it technically existing outside of this one, like just true nothingness, not black or white space but the abcense of space itself, or just an invisible wall we cant pass.......or the universe is just truly infinite, spanning forever, and theres other iterations of everything we know going on forever. Or a universe in a universe in a universe. It makes me feel rather uncomfortable to say the very least.
5:30 "If the universe is infinite you would find everything" No, I'm sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Infinity does _not_ mean infinite combinations. It might just be an infinite void for all we know. Or more of the same (normal stars with normal planets). There is no indication that there is infinite combinations of conditions, which means there's no real indication that "everything" is out there
Yep, that gets to me too. I mean think of how many things have to go right just to get a planet like earth again. Star in correct stable galactic orbit, Jupiter to protect from Asteroids, correct ratio of elements in planets crust, Large moon, Enough water to form oceans and on and on. Then for life to develop in exactly the same way with the same evolution to make the same species. And then for the same genes to come together in exactly the same way so people like your parents, grandparents exist all just to form a person like you. Oh and history has to have played out exactly the same. Infinite space does not imply recursion. Just infinite variety.
Assuming the universe is truly infinite, (and not a void) is there really no reason to believe that every single possibility and combination of events to happen or have happened cannot be possible? Infinite defines never ending so surely there would be a never ending amount of possibilities? We can only speculate but I share the belief that there is a finite space to the universe that is currently growing. I think the real sad part is that humanity will most likely not find out whether the universe is finite or not in the incredibly short time we will inhabit this planet.
Infinite basically means «no ending » which then means that it could exist as much possibilities as you’d want but always in compliance with the laws of physics. Therefore if the universe is infinite (which still has to be demonstrated) an infinite combination of conditions could be a reality.
@@khalilabtal96 I think you are hitting on the root of the issue. "Could be" are the key words here. I'm not saying every possibility _can't_ exist. I'm just annoyed when people say "it's infinite, therefore it has to contain all possibilities". The number that is an infinite amount of 1's is inifnite (by definition). You won't see any combination of numbers other than repetitions of 1 in it though.
Some theories of reality could confuse us, be completely wrong, or need more thought/work. Today, I'm grateful to be open minded, this channel to me, proves just that. The space out in the universe is unimaginable; studying space and time can bring us closer, have a better understanding of reality, allowing our souls to have peace.
You are wise to say these words. To understand truly what is incomprehensible by humans (the true nature of reality/ universe) is sort of like the study of Buddhism. We are simply in the end of it all... conscious observers... nothing more or less.
Always kinda thought the big bang could just have been a universe sized supernova, and our universe is just the shockwave of that explosion, and if the big bang was nothing but an unfathomably large star, it's possible it was or is part of an even larger galaxy, one so insanely large, that light from the nearest star still has yet to reach our observable universe, would be kinda cool if that's how it was
I believe in the theory that says the universe started from a small ball and that ball is expanding in almost speed of light and all the galaxies were small atoms and grew up to make the whole universe
My theory about this is that big bang is causer by the gravitational pull from the dark matter when they weakens. This theory is called the Big Crunch theory. So because the forces of dark matter weakens the gravitational force they have are reversed to the point of singularity then reversed again to the original force which pushes outwards at the speed exceeding even the speed of light. But this theory is only a hyphothesis as a lot of thing has not been proven and the most realistic way of universe ending is the effect of time. The universe will become an empty void, devoid of anything. Even fundamental energies and building materials like photons and electrons. The molecules will disintegrate and the universe will become one empty bubble.
Yup, I’m with you on this one but with a slight change. With my limited knowledge I’d like to believe that our universe originated from a black hole that exploded and we are living in the expansion from that explosion. Ours were not the first or only such black hole. More likely there are vast amounts of black holes scattered that eventually exploded. Mass are flung out by the explosion and might to some extent then be picked up by another black hole that are instead contracting. Would be cool if the laws of physics as we know them also form at that explosion and are different in each universe. Like throwing out dices, different combinations each time :)

"If you travel far enough, you'll come across a copy of yourself. But space is expanding so fast you'll never be able to reach it" Mmyes, how convenient
If warp drives are actually possible like they seem they might be (if we can figure out how to generate the energy) hopefully one day it will be possible to at least travel around are own galaxy. We won't be alive to see it but it's still cool to think about
"we'll be able to see more of the universe as the observable universe continues to expand". Not technically correct. The Cosmic Event Horizon is the limit of what we can see, and it's INSIDE the observable universe. We can only see things beyond that horizon if their light originated while the object was inside the horizon. As more objects cross that horizon, we'll eventually stop seeing them as their light won't have time to reach us once they've crossed it. So we'll actually see less of the universe, not more of it. Eventually, we'll see nothing at all except for our own solar system. Far future humans will have no idea that the universe exists.
We won’t ever reach that point. I am of the opinion that the speed of light doesn’t travel at a constant speed. As the actual speed of light was at one point instant but has been slowed down to its current speed. That event I speak of is called Creation. Every stellar object being designed, implemented and created into existence the Biblical Genesis creation of the heavens.
@@firewing1319 Even more awesome is the fact that scientists in the past have been able to create light using _sound waves_ which would explain God _saying_ "Light, Be!" Another cosmological point to consider is that it was not until the 3rd day/epoch that God created the sun, moon, and stars whereas in science, there is the Cosmic Microwave Background (which is almost certainly the remnants of the initial light of creation whenever He said "Be")!
Nutters everywhere. Save the evangelism for your congregation, please. When the only thing you have to bring to the conversation is "magical un-provable things made this all happen" you don't bring any insight or new angles to something, you just assert your dogma to be because it "is". This is neither useful nor productive.
1:28 "cosmologists estimate the oldest photon we can currently see have traveled a distance of 45 to 47 billion ly." Nope. That is plain wrong. The photons traveled 13.7 billion ly. The objects that emitted the photons are now around 46 billion ly away. Btw. the amount of objects that we see will shrink, not grow, since there are many objects that escape our view in the sense that they are so far away that their light will never arrive here.
Yep! Since the the further away they travel the faster they move. I'm interested to know if we've watched any bodies wink out of existence as they've reached that limit. I suppose the wavelength would shift and shift, till its barely observable before it disappears completely. Fascinating
@@k19widow I know that 94% of the objects we know of already are so far away that their currently emitted light will not reach us. For sure some of these objects were observed, for example by the Hubble Deep Space imagery. I don't know if there are objects that enthusiasts could observe, since I expect the vast majority of visible objects to be members of the local group. I think that is really mindbending. There will be future civilisations that will not know about the expansion of the universe, since they will not know objects beyond the local group.

Distance to the end of infinite space is the same distance between 0 and 1. We know that both 0 and 1 exist, but the distance between the two are immeasurable.
Many mistakes in semantics here-those photons haven’t traveled 43 billion light years, they’ve travelled 13 billion light years or so, it’s just that space has expanded & now, those places they came from are themselves now 43 billion light years away. It’s an important extinction. Anyway, these types of videos are fun, anyway. Mind blowing, how small we are.
@@LettersAndNumbers300 Speaking of semantic errors... Point stands and is important though XD. And it made me have to think twice about everything else to make sure it scanned.
The thing is imagine a light from a planet 100 light years away reaches us now. We are legit seeing 100 years back into that planets life which is amazing to think about
even scarier scale on this statement, since space time works differently than our on earth when we see planets in space far away. Scientifically like you stated we are seeing them in the past because the amount of time it would take to cover the distance to get to that would take “light-years”. Meaning we are seeing them in the past which brings me to the question is the now the now in space. So, this is what we are floating in! Even crazier to think about they are saying that supermassive black holes exist, I want to know more about white holes and it’s properties.
It's humbling to realize that there are folks out there such as ASTROPHYSICISTS who spend a considerable amount of their lives researching the COSMOS, while pondering where MANKIND fits into the grand scheme of things.

There's a major problem with this - the fact that the universe is infinite doesn't mean that, as the example given, we'd necessarily find an exact copy of the solar system. For instance; the integer 2 can exist. There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. That doesn't mean we'll find the integer 2 between 0 and 1. Infinite does not mean unbound.
Counterpoint - We do know that the number we're looking for is within the bounds we are searching at least once. It is by no means impossible that the exact same numbercouldn't be found within this boundary again.
@@OzixiThrill In as much as it is technically possible for the atoms in a room to all spontaenously line up in one corner and leave the rest in vacuum. For all intents and purposes, impossible. There's something like 10x10^50 atoms in the earth, the probability of that exact match is not really there.
@@siobhangraham7280 You're disregarding that the original statement hinges on an infinite universe; Which pretty much defeats any and all arguments from probability. Arguments from probability only work within finite sets.
The assumption that the universe is infinite does *not* automatically mean that it also *must* contain each end every possible version of each objects. Infinity does not work that way. For example it can contain a finite set of variations but in a never repeating configuration or an infinite set of variations but this set may be a proper subset of all possible variations.
Thank you! The infinite-earths-in-an-infinite-universe thing always seemed way too romantic and handwavy to me, and it gets annoying when every single space documentary throws this thought around like it's a given to sounds impressive and mind-blowing. Good explanation.
Hmm. If the universe is infinite that would be it would contain each and every possibility because it is infinite lol . Eventually at some point every single possibility would occur.
@@socksamazingchannel There is an infinite amount of examples where only a finite variation and/or combination of "things" occurs in that particular example. Our actual universe may be one of those examples or may not be. The fact that something CAN happen does not guarantees, that it MUST happen, even if an infinite amount of time is available.

The more I learn about theoretical astronomy the more I realise that scifi writers are writing about dark medival ages, compared to what we could actually achive one day as a species.
I don't know.... I believe we will get extinct before we can reach intergalactic travel - possibly even interstellar travel. Yet a lot of writers write, as tho it is inevitable outcome. Now you could say I'm a bit too pesimistic, but I think there's too much science obstacles, not even talking about political and social obstacles, that we face. It is quite possible, that we won't even be able to overcome the current global warming crisis. In fact, I expect us not too. The odds are stacked against us. If we would take measurements 2 decades ago, then maybe I would give us a chance. But how things are turning out currently - I highly doubt. There's also a large ammount of population - young population at that, that is anti-science - and that ammount is currently growing fast. Current trend points to distopian society, some sort of sc-fi dark ages - struggling to survive on a dying planet where all wildlife is already extinct. This includes wild plants.
@@Member_zero i too wanted to comment humans will be extinct long before that. We're a plague at this moment in time that's for now contained on Earth. Maybe for the better.

We're destructive and unattuned, unaware of the higher purposes.
how do we know these galaxies are still here? if they’re millions of light years away doesn’t that mean we are looking at them what they looked like millions of years ago? that also means they might not even be there anymore since they’re so far away.
they def still exist unless they collided but most of the ones we see are millions of light years away and are billions of years old so i predict they dont look much different due to their sheer size

This stuff is all so fascinating to me. It amazes me that there are people out there with the type of mind that can comprehend all of this, because to me the distances in the universe are just mind boggling. It truly would be incredible if somewhere out there, there's another earth that is exactly the same in every way as our own.
If it makes you feel any better, their minds aren’t different from yours and they don’t “get it” either. They just come to accept that the math works. They form an idea of how something works, then maybe use a symbolic illustration. Just as an example, no one knows what subatomic particles look like if extrapolated into viewable size, so we use different representations of the actions and interactions, accepting that it’s not literally what they “look” like. Why most cosmology depictions you’ll see are “artist’s renderings”.
That's only if the universe is indeed infinite. The video makes the mistake of saying a geometrically flat universe MUST mean it is infinite. It does not, it simply leaves open the possibility. But, since we know that at the beginning it was very much finite in volume: we would need to work out how something finite becomes something infinite. It seems highly unlikely. The "parallel solar system" is the perfect example of how absurd this is. Such a solar system would be a mathematical certainty. But, not just one, oh no: an infinite number of them as well. An infinite number of galaxies that are exactly alike to the Milky Way in every detail, and so on. Infinity is a big concept, and as yet we have found nothing at all in nature to which the word can be applied.
That is just the limited capacity of the human brain to comprehend the universe. Just more crazy stuff than that we can not think of. No there will not be copies of our galaxy with copies of us that is just brainfarting of a scientist brain that crashed.
I disagree. It's possible that Black Holes are portals to another universe or another time. If our universe is not constant then our universe is an open system and physics would be different from what we can calculate. I believe it's infinite.
The thought of multiple versions of me always brightens my day. Thinking I'm living the life i could've in another universe but blew it in this one. I don't know.... Kinda helps me just shrug off a lot of b.s.
Lightspeed is one of the most fascinating things for us and yet lightspeed is our limitation for observing deep space. It is both awestrucking and terrifying at the same time
We’re probably inside of a black hole. The first clue: No matter how fast we travel, our outer boundary will always “expand” away faster that the speed of light.
The idea that “if the universe is infinite, then every possible reality exists inside of it” is actually a fallacy. Think of it this way: there are an infinite number of numbers between 2 and 3, yet none of them are 4.
Do you even understand the concept of infinity? What you just said makes no sense. There are an infinite amount of numbers between an infinite amount of numbers. Infinity isn’t even a number, because any number you could possibly think of would be infinitely small compared to infinity
@@navalidon581 actually YOU don’t understand infinity as a concept. There are different sets of infinity and they vary in size. So there are some infinities bigger than others. The amount of whole numbers is infinite. The amount of numbers with a decimal point is also infinite. But there are WAY more decimal numbers than whole numbers. Therefore one infinity can be bigger than another infinity.
Yh but bare in mind an actual infinite number of universe means never ending in reality. If there are never ending every possibility would be covered. I believe an actual infinite number of universes existing is impossible as it leads to some illogical conclusions. As this would mean every single point at every universe would have infinite other universes and so on. So that means for example between your hand there is an infinite number of universes.
@@betweenthedimensions8315 infinity is a paradox. Although it can be bigger than itself it also can’t because it’s infinity. There are infinite decimal points between 1 and 2 but that literally applies to everything. If the universe was infinite(which it likely isn’t although if it was we would never know because it’s impossible to reach the end) then every possible thing we could think of does and has existed because that’s how absurd the concept of infinity is

I have long thought that space is infinite and from the age of eleven never trusted the Big Bang theory as the beginning. More like an incident in a region of space from which earth gradually evolved. Along with everything else connected to that explosion in a tiny bit of space.

It's impossible to go to the edge from what we know so far In terms of the laws and physics of existence, there is still a myriad of things we are clueless about, and that very well maybe completely impossible to comprehend right now. But no matter how long it takes, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of reaching the edge and maybe beyond. If we figure out a new law, it could open so many possibilities For example, how did the big bang come to be? How is it physically possible for existense to emerge from nothingness? That's like saying 0=1
We most defiantly do get something from nothing. When you are talking about Quantum scales we see particles popping into and out of existence all the time. Stephen Hawking used this fact to show how black holes will slowly evaporate into radiation. I do believe Mr Hawking did some videos on the topic to help non-scientists understand it. It is fascinating stuff but you need to be ready to do some heavy study to get your head around the counter-intuative nature of the universe at the very small scales.

Just had this thought about explosions, time and perception. Feels like we're just particles of an explosion which just is what it is. And as we're a part of it, time the way we precive is different than the time precieved outside of the explosion. So a glimpse of time outside this "explosion", feels like a few seconds.

Same as a flee could really see a sky scraper, it would just see the wall, going up, to what seems like an eternity. Anyways, had this crazy theory, and had to share it. 😁

Because, you know, thinking about a problem tends to lead to better results than judging others and laughing at them for having the courage to 'THINK' and 'SHARE" something new:)

"This means the universe might be older than 14 billion years!" Astrophysicists discovering a 2 trillion solar mass quasar ULAS J1120+0641 some 13 billion light years away, I would have to agree with you.
In the scientific community a fact is nothing more than a consensus making the fact flexible to change at any time. They have no idea how old this universe is lol
There is a new record holder, J0313-1806, exponentially larger. How could it I have formed 670 million years after the “big bang”.. I cringe when intelligent scientists speak of the big bang, dark matter, Multi-verses and singularities.
The Universe is making stars and planets at the largest scale possible... those stars and planets make 'Us'. The information behind Multiverse can be simplified down to individual planets so the potential for your own existence renews every time a new planet forms. Essentially, it boils down to there being a certain interaction that happens in the Universe that makes you and will always make you. It could take eons for you to remanifest or it might be instantaneous, that's about the only aspect that will remain impossible to know.
I can dig it. If we are made up of this energy and that energy cannot be destroyed but only changed, then that energy never is erased. The information is there and it will then find another home to remanifest. I really do think the universe is eternal and has consciousness itself. Consiciousness just cannot be the pinnacle in homo sapiens.
Life does not just spring from dust and then miraculously, gradually gets more complex. Life comes from life. This whole thing we are living in was created. Living organisms were created. It's the only answer that makes scientific sense.
@@peaceonearth351 Conciousness has a specific meaning... while I agree with you I know there is probably a better word that I currently don't know for it's place in the Universe. The forces behind the scenes are commited to a certain format to say the least.
Every time someone says that there is a copy of our own solar system with identical people living in them - I just roll my eyes. This is all theoretical and speculative. Just because the mathematical equations tell us something - doesn’t mean that reality will also follow said equations precisely.
Universe is infinite, but amount of matter in the universe is finite, explanation doesn't seem to take that in the effect and that greatly diminishes changes of identical world with identical people.
Also you can’t tell if space is still expanding by definition if light is still traveling to allow us to see something. In fact it would be almost common sense to say if space was still expanding it would be traveling faster than the speed up light essentially making it impossible to see the light proving all this wrong.
I feel like human brain can't comprehend all of this... Big bang... What was before? Was dark matter here before big bang?what caused it. Etc,etc. Even big bang is a theory. Basically we know nothing.🤔
I believe we are limited by how advanced we are. I think some day we will figure out a way to travel to other galaxies, even other universes. That’s if we survive long enough to do so.
Ever since I came to understand that there is an observable edge of the universe that we can't see beyond I've always kind of wondered how they can know the age of the universe since we have no idea how large the universe is.
@Fractal Chaos At ease, Sergeant sarcasm. My comment is about the title of the video, which implies that we have determined what’s at the “edge” of the universe.
@@danielmiddleman8613 We can observe the rate of cosmic inflation (empty space expanding everywhere at once) and extrapolate this rate of expansion backwards to find an estimate for when the universe would have been infinitely compact. This doesn't depend on knowing the size of the universe, since it's basically just a matter of density
if the universe is infinite, then the universe can produce "God" do to infinite probability. But.. it could have also simply have created itself. When you get into infinites.. it means anything and everything is possible. We cant comprehend the universe because we are cause and effect creatures. we always need a cause for effect. But what if the universe simply doesn't care and doesn't need a creator? It exists because probability allows it to. While at the same time.. we dont exist because probability also says we could not exist. we live in a simulation of quantum probability where our reality fades in and out all the time.. we cant see or feel when our reality shifts. However we can see light shifts from being a wave to a particle ... only when something in our reality observers it. This means light photons prove our reality is an illusion and only become grounded in our reality when required to do so. in simple terms.. we live in reality of a coin infinitely flipping.. the coins outcome happens when its forced to stopped when a reality needs it to. This means we dont have a per-determined destiny. We make our own destiny, absolute free will. This also means there is an afterlife and things beyond death do to infinite probably. You simply wont stop existing because this reality wont allow that outcome to happen.
literally everything is possible if the universe is infinite and everything has also happened too. this is so crazy to comprehend but amazing to think bout
Both our Galaxy and Andromeda just happen to be close enough to be attracting each other by their immense gravitational pull. It is theorized that they will eventually collide and become one gigantic Galaxy, and that in the midst of the chaos new stars could be formed.
there are a number of smaller gaxies that have already been absorbed by the Milky Way, so it does happen. the farther away an object is, the more likely it is to move away, but that does not rule out closer objects like Andromeda.
@@PaulDormody your comment doesn't answer my question. It merely states that galaxies do collide. Some galaxies must grow at a rate that outstrips the force of their diminishing gravity as they move away from other galaxies in such a way that two galaxies begin moving toward each other.
What fascinates me, is the fact that there is so much out there that we do not know. It scares me to think that there is another galaxy parallel to ours that we can either go back or forward in time and we exist in another galaxy or have existed.
I still cannot understand why, if galaxies are moving away from each other at increasing speeds, how is it that Andromeda is projected to collide with the Milky Way relatively soon? Outstanding video by the way!
An expanding universe is stalemated by this observation. A pulsating model however can accommodate this easily - that at a time ,perhaps, of closest approach supernova activity could push two near galaxies into entanglement. These two would be drawn into each other by the overriding local gravity 'blue shift' whilst the pulsating pattern continued amongst the general galactic populations. In short, the general red shift of the observable universe is only a temporary phase of the 'big picture' pulsation. Without such 'annommallies' represented by the Milky Way /Andromeda situation the 'big bangers' would be unopposed and never hushed into silence.
Galaxies aren't "technically" moving away from each other, the space between them (all space in fact) is expanding and "pushing them away. But again, this is all space, including the space between stars, even the space inside atoms. However, this cosmic expansion is not the only "force" effecting matter, electromagnetism is strong enough to overcome it at the distances within atoms and molecules. Even the weakling of gravity can overcome this expansion even at certain distances. Andromeda is our closest galactic neighbor, so the Milky Way and Andromeda have a pretty strong gravitational influence on each other. The channel PBS Space Time has plenty of videos on the topic of cosmic expansion as well as other topics if you would like to learn more.
Galaxies close enough to each other can still be gravitationally bound to one another. That one statement "all galaxies are moving away from each other" is somewhat inaccurate, galaxies can and do collide.
this vid: "can store an infinite number of infinities inside a single infinity" my thought process: "this dude just said the word infinity 3 times with random context".
Additionally, there could be an infinite number of infinities inside a single infinity, OF WHICH there are infinite infinities, since the visible universe appears to be flat. And therefore, well you guessed it, infinite.
I highly doubt there's another me out there. But I don't doubt there is life somewhat like us and so off the wall we might not ever realize it's there when we see it. We might have already seen it for all we know.
@@hhshsksks9593 True but the chances of an identical you to exist in this reality are unbelievably unlikely. The chances of everything that makes you you existing and still not coalescing into you is much more likely.
it's weird how we apply science to the conscious human. the theory that we'll eventually find our identical "self" in another hubble bubble is such ego-survival. the only most likely truth is that in another hubble bubble, there will be a planet with identical evolutionary paths but the visual and consciousness result will not be the same. there's definitely other 'conscious beings' doing what they can to survive their entire species.
Hmmm this is what I think: Does infinity inevitably leed to repetition? I think not. It is quite possible to have infinity where there's no our "exact double" out there. If I look for example all the natural numbers on a natual number scale, they are infinite, yet no number repeats. There's only one of each number. So I think there's quite possible to have infinity with no repetition. Even tho logic tells us that, eventualy, all the particle arrangement would repeat ... I think that would work only if you work with finite possibilities. With infinite possibilities, you only need one of each exact state, and it's still infinite.
@@Member_zero This assumes that nothing can repeat exactly. If you assign infinity to every variable then the probability of anything is low, but not zero.
@@Clumrat Well not what I was thinking ... I am not saying it's impossible for things to repeat exactly. But only, that it does not have to, and you still can have an infinity. Basicaly - yes exact same state is posibile - but not inevitable IMO. If the universe is infinite that is ... Could very well be finite.
@@justiceiria869 The rest of the universe would still be 13.5 billion years old. The reason it's larger than 13.5 billion light years across is because inflation is faster than light.

One of the most fascinating and troubling things about cosmology is that so much of our "knowledge" is built upon some assumptions that we have not (and likely cannot) verify with 100% accuracy. The problem with determining distances across the universe is that our baseline is emission spectrum analysis and reverse engineering the red shift.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming some wildly outlandish criticism or saying that our scientific experiments and calculations are worthless. I'm only saying that we cannot be 100% sure if ALL supernovae have the same emission spectrum everywhere. We use these to calculate the red shift (called "standard candles") and, because we know the speed of light/causality, and interpolate a distance. Then you get into the "extra mass" problem with galaxies and we would up with something called "dark matter." I mean, you can't exactly use a tape measure to see exactly how far objects are. Nor can you put a galaxy onto a scale.
People have found some clever work arounds but it's interesting to consider how far off our measurements could be and what effect that might have on our understanding.
We now also measure gravitational waves, things aren't going to be stall.
Nothing in science is 100 percent accurate, it not unique to cosmology. Science is inductive in nature so there are no absolutes.

For those wondering, the universe being “flat” does not mean it’s like a sheet of paper. It simply means that trigonometry holds up over vast distances. If space was “curved”, then measurements taken with lasers over massive distances would defy basic trig and the angles would be off kilter…well they’re not, thus space is indeed “flat” for a lack of better term.
I was actually just wondering this. I had accepted “Flat” as an end all be all term but also wondered- If supernovas, big bangs, and black holes all shoot quasars (particle building atomic material) in either up and down (Intersecting direction to a black hole) or all directions- then why is everything on a parallel??
Its only flat for as far as we can see, the earth for example up close seems perfectly flat when your standing on it, its only far from the surface that we can dstinguish a curve which is why we have to deal with the plight of flat-earthers. Our measurements are based on the small bit of the universe that we can observe, the distance we can observe could very well be such a small portion that we cant detect a curve because the curve isnt noticable until we can observe space at a particular distance. We might never find out if the universe has an edge or not and its probably better we didnt. The answer to me is absolutely frightening anyways. Either there is an end, which means theres something on the other side that defys the laws of reality, because it technically existing outside of this one, like just true nothingness, not black or white space but the abcense of space itself, or just an invisible wall we cant pass.......or the universe is just truly infinite, spanning forever, and theres other iterations of everything we know going on forever.

5:30 "If the universe is infinite you would find everything" No, I'm sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Infinity does _not_ mean infinite combinations. It might just be an infinite void for all we know. Or more of the same (normal stars with normal planets). There is no indication that there is infinite combinations of conditions, which means there's no real indication that "everything" is out there
Yep, that gets to me too. I mean think of how many things have to go right just to get a planet like earth again. Star in correct stable galactic orbit, Jupiter to protect from Asteroids, correct ratio of elements in planets crust, Large moon, Enough water to form oceans and on and on. Then for life to develop in exactly the same way with the same evolution to make the same species. And then for the same genes to come together in exactly the same way so people like your parents, grandparents exist all just to form a person like you. Oh and history has to have played out exactly the same. Infinite space does not imply recursion. Just infinite variety.
Assuming the universe is truly infinite, (and not a void) is there really no reason to believe that every single possibility and combination of events to happen or have happened cannot be possible? Infinite defines never ending so surely there would be a never ending amount of possibilities? We can only speculate but I share the belief that there is a finite space to the universe that is currently growing. I think the real sad part is that humanity will most likely not find out whether the universe is finite or not in the incredibly short time we will inhabit this planet.
Infinite basically means «no ending » which then means that it could exist as much possibilities as you’d want but always in compliance with the laws of physics. Therefore if the universe is infinite (which still has to be demonstrated) an infinite combination of conditions could be a reality.
@@khalilabtal96 I think you are hitting on the root of the issue. "Could be" are the key words here. I'm not saying every possibility _can't_ exist. I'm just annoyed when people say "it's infinite, therefore it has to contain all possibilities". The number that is an infinite amount of 1's is inifnite (by definition). You won't see any combination of numbers other than repetitions of 1 in it though.
Some theories of reality could confuse us, be completely wrong, or need more thought/work. Today, I'm grateful to be open minded, this channel to me, proves just that. The space out in the universe is unimaginable; studying space and time can bring us closer, have a better understanding of reality, allowing our souls to have peace.
Yes. There are worlds around us.
It’s like they’re only thinking of linear travel.

It doesn’t matter how many times I think and talk about the nature of the universe, it will always leave me speechless.
Always kinda thought the big bang could just have been a universe sized supernova, and our universe is just the shockwave of that explosion, and if the big bang was nothing but an unfathomably large star, it's possible it was or is part of an even larger galaxy, one so insanely large, that light from the nearest star still has yet to reach our observable universe, would be kinda cool if that's how it was
A galaxy within a galaxy. I believe it.
I believe in the theory that says the universe started from a small ball and that ball is expanding in almost speed of light and all the galaxies were small atoms and grew up to make the whole universe
Research white holes.
My theory about this is that big bang is causer by the gravitational pull from the dark matter when they weakens. This theory is called the Big Crunch theory.
So because the forces of dark matter weakens the gravitational force they have are reversed to the point of singularity then reversed again to the original force which pushes outwards at the speed exceeding even the speed of light. But this theory is only a hyphothesis as a lot of thing has not been proven and the most realistic way of universe ending is the effect of time. The universe will become an empty void, devoid of anything. Even fundamental energies and building materials like photons and electrons. The molecules will disintegrate and the universe will become one empty bubble.
Yup, I’m with you on this one but with a slight change. With my limited knowledge I’d like to believe that our universe originated from a black hole that exploded and we are living in the expansion from that explosion. Ours were not the first or only such black hole. More likely there are vast amounts of black holes scattered that eventually exploded. Mass are flung out by the explosion and might to some extent then be picked up by another black hole that are instead contracting. Would be cool if the laws of physics as we know them also form at that explosion and are different in each universe. Like throwing out dices, different combinations each time :)

"we'll be able to see more of the universe as the observable universe continues to expand". Not technically correct. The Cosmic Event Horizon is the limit of what we can see, and it's INSIDE the observable universe. We can only see things beyond that horizon if their light originated while the object was inside the horizon. As more objects cross that horizon, we'll eventually stop seeing them as their light won't have time to reach us once they've crossed it. So we'll actually see less of the universe, not more of it. Eventually, we'll see nothing at all except for our own solar system. Far future humans will have no idea that the universe exists.
We won’t ever reach that point. I am of the opinion that the speed of light doesn’t travel at a constant speed. As the actual speed of light was at one point instant but has been slowed down to its current speed. That event I speak of is called Creation. Every stellar object being designed, implemented and created into existence the Biblical Genesis creation of the heavens.
@@firewing1319 Even more awesome is the fact that scientists in the past have been able to create light using _sound waves_ which would explain God _saying_ "Light, Be!"

Btw. the amount of objects that we see will shrink, not grow, since there are many objects that escape our view in the sense that they are so far away that their light will never arrive here.

The more I learn about theoretical astronomy the more I realise that scifi writers are writing about dark medival ages, compared to what we could actually achive one day as a species.
I don't know.... I believe we will get extinct before we can reach intergalactic travel - possibly even interstellar travel. Yet a lot of writers write, as tho it is inevitable outcome. Now you could say I'm a bit too pesimistic, but I think there's too much science obstacles, not even talking about political and social obstacles, that we face. It is quite possible, that we won't even be able to overcome the current global warming crisis. In fact, I expect us not too. The odds are stacked against us.
If we would take measurements 2 decades ago, then maybe I would give us a chance. But how things are turning out currently - I highly doubt. There's also a large ammount of population - young population at that, that is anti-science - and that ammount is currently growing fast.
Current trend points to distopian society, some sort of sc-fi dark ages - struggling to survive on a dying planet where all wildlife is already extinct. This includes wild plants.
@@Member_zero i too wanted to comment humans will be extinct long before that. We're a plague at this moment in time that's for now contained on Earth. Maybe for the better.

We're destructive and unattuned, unaware of the higher purposes.
how do we know these galaxies are still here? if they’re millions of light years away doesn’t that mean we are looking at them what they looked like millions of years ago? that also means they might not even be there anymore since they’re so far away.
they def still exist unless they collided but most of the ones we see are millions of light years away and are billions of years old so i predict they dont look much different due to their sheer size
It seems odd to me that we can see millions of light-years away and now we are potentially just discovering planet 9 in our solar system.

It truly would be incredible if somewhere out there, there's another earth that is exactly the same in every way as our own.
If it makes you feel any better, their minds aren’t different from yours and they don’t “get it” either. They just come to accept that the math works. They form an idea of how something works, then maybe use a symbolic illustration. Just as an example, no one knows what subatomic particles look like if extrapolated into viewable size, so we use different representations of the actions and interactions, accepting that it’s not literally what they “look” like. Why most cosmology depictions you’ll see are “artist’s renderings”.

That's only if the universe is indeed infinite. The video makes the mistake of saying a geometrically flat universe MUST mean it is infinite. It does not, it simply leaves open the possibility.
But, since we know that at the beginning it was very much finite in volume: we would need to work out how something finite becomes something infinite. It seems highly unlikely.
The "parallel solar system" is the perfect example of how absurd this is. Such a solar system would be a mathematical certainty. But, not just one, oh no: an infinite number of them as well. An infinite number of galaxies that are exactly alike to the Milky Way in every detail, and so on. Infinity is a big concept, and as yet we have found nothing at all in nature to which the word can be applied.
That is just the limited capacity of the human brain to comprehend the universe. Just more crazy stuff than that we can not think of. No there will not be copies of our galaxy with copies of us that is just brainfarting of a scientist brain that crashed.

The idea that “if the universe is infinite, then every possible reality exists inside of it” is actually a fallacy. Think of it this way: there are an infinite number of numbers between 2 and 3, yet none of them are 4.
Do you even understand the concept of infinity? What you just said makes no sense. There are an infinite amount of numbers between an infinite amount of numbers. Infinity isn’t even a number, because any number you could possibly think of would be infinitely small compared to infinity
@@navalidon581 actually YOU don’t understand infinity as a concept. There are different sets of infinity and they vary in size. So there are some infinities bigger than others. The amount of whole numbers is infinite. The amount of numbers with a decimal point is also infinite. But there are WAY more decimal numbers than whole numbers. Therefore one infinity can be bigger than another infinity.
Yh but bare in mind an actual infinite number of universe means never ending in reality. If there are never ending every possibility would be covered. I believe an actual infinite number of universes existing is impossible as it leads to some illogical conclusions. As this would mean every single point at every universe would have infinite other universes and so on. So that means for example between your hand there is an infinite number of universes.
@@betweenthedimensions8315 infinity is a paradox. Although it can be bigger than itself it also can’t because it’s infinity. There are infinite decimal points between 1 and 2 but that literally applies to everything. If the universe was infinite(which it likely isn’t although if it was we would never know because it’s impossible to reach the end) then every possible thing we could think of does and has existed because that’s how absurd the concept of infinity is

I have long thought that space is infinite and from the age of eleven never trusted the Big Bang theory as the beginning. More like an incident in a region of space from which earth gradually evolved. Along with everything else connected to that explosion in a tiny bit of space. But one thought that troubles me is, ‘Why Humans’. Why are we more clever and resourceful than a bird, a snake even a bacterium. Yet we are. It’s odd when you think about it. Why.
@@Sjb2077 it isn't odd, we just evolved that way and that's it. There are other animals as well who are quite intelligent and clever just like humans, but don't have a long enough lifespan or aren't physically capable to achieve anything humans have. Octopuses, chimpanzee and dolphins immediately come to mind.
It's impossible to go to the edge from what we know so far
In terms of the laws and physics of existence, there is still a myriad of things we are clueless about, and that very well maybe completely impossible to comprehend right now. But no matter how long it takes, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of reaching the edge and maybe beyond. If we figure out a new law, it could open so many possibilities
For example, how did the big bang come to be? How is it physically possible for existense to emerge from nothingness?
That's like saying 0=1
We most defiantly do get something from nothing. When you are talking about Quantum scales we see particles popping into and out of existence all the time. Stephen Hawking used this fact to show how black holes will slowly evaporate into radiation. I do believe Mr Hawking did some videos on the topic to help non-scientists understand it.
It is fascinating stuff but you need to be ready to do some heavy study to get your head around the counter-intuative nature of the universe at the very small scales.

We could just be a universe inside one atom in a drop of water dripping from a tap in a much larger scale universe. Like fractals - there's no beginning or end to the same structure whether you zoom in or out.

No matter these mind-blowing theories - the nearest star with exo-planets in the habitable zone (4.21 light years away) is so far away, that it only leaves us with our own planet to actually live on - so why do we constantly exhaust our own ressources here on earth instead of trying to rescue the remains of our own habitat? I just dont see the point.....
How can we see something outside of our universe (multiverse for example) when we haven't even seen our own universe (we can't actually see the full universe since it's getting larger faster then the speed of light like since the universe is 13 billion years old yet we have seen photon that have there origins 50+ billion light years away,

Just had this thought about explosions, time and perception.
Feels like we're just particles of an explosion which just is what it is.
And as we're a part of it, time the way we precive is different than the time precieved outside of the explosion.
So a glimpse of time outside this "explosion", feels like a few seconds.
But for those who are a part of it, this glimpse is millions of Years.
So if I'm right, there's not really any way to get out or find out what's out there
We just wouldn't precieve it right.
Same as a flee could really see a sky scraper, it would just see the wall, going up, to what seems like an eternity.
Anyways, had this crazy theory, and had to share it.
😁
I don't think the universe is constant either. That was Einstein's theory and perception but he was wrong about Black Holes. The universe is connected to outside universes that we cannot detect. It's an open system and physics won't be the same throughout the universe.
I don’t think there is an “outside”.
@@mitseraffej5812 maybe.
But if You blow up a granade, the content's of the explosion it self wouldn't have any contact with the outside world, thus no way of realizing that there is more besides the explosion.
As I'm aware, an explosion makes it's own environment of compressed air, crazy reactions, vacuum e.c.
Sooooo, in theory if we start to go deeper, then the explosion in it's self could be a different dimension, with it's own physics and time preception in a immensely smaller scale.
So if You slow time down for huge amount for this explosion. Then
you'll see the big bang, the extensive growth of the "universe", the spherical shape of the "visible edge" e.c.
Besides, You would be such a millescule sized creature, You couldn't see the true vastness of the outside of the explosion.

That cone shape is not the shape of the universe. The cone shape is used to represent the universe over a passage of time. With the big bang beginning at the pointy end and the current universe at the wide end. With each slice of the cone showing a representation of what the universe was like at that point in time.

The Universe is making stars and planets at the largest scale possible... those stars and planets make 'Us'. The information behind Multiverse can be simplified down to individual planets so the potential for your own existence renews every time a new planet forms.
Essentially, it boils down to there being a certain interaction that happens in the Universe that makes you and will always make you. It could take eons for you to remanifest or it might be instantaneous, that's about the only aspect that will remain impossible to know.
I can dig it. If we are made up of this energy and that energy cannot be destroyed but only changed, then that energy never is erased. The information is there and it will then find another home to remanifest. I really do think the universe is eternal and has consciousness itself. Consiciousness just cannot be the pinnacle in homo sapiens.

The reason I want there to be a God, is just to know "how" and "why" about it all. My mind boggles Everytime I try to comprehend this.
if the universe is infinite, then the universe can produce "God" do to infinite probability. But.. it could have also simply have created itself. When you get into infinites.. it means anything and everything is possible. We cant comprehend the universe because we are cause and effect creatures.
we always need a cause for effect. But what if the universe simply doesn't care and doesn't need a creator? It exists because probability allows it to. While at the same time.. we dont exist because probability also says we could not exist.
we live in a simulation of quantum probability where our reality fades in and out all the time.. we cant see or feel when our reality shifts. However we can see light shifts from being a wave to a particle ... only when something in our reality observers it. This means light photons prove our reality is an illusion and only become grounded in our reality when required to do so.
in simple terms.. we live in reality of a coin infinitely flipping.. the coins outcome happens when its forced to stopped when a reality needs it to. This means we dont have a per-determined destiny. We make our own destiny, absolute free will.
This also means there is an afterlife and things beyond death do to infinite probably. You simply wont stop existing because this reality wont allow that outcome to happen.
literally everything is possible if the universe is infinite and everything has also happened too. this is so crazy to comprehend but amazing to think bout

If all galaxies are "moving away from the Milky Way", why is Andromeda headed on a collision course with us?
Both our Galaxy and Andromeda just happen to be close enough to be attracting each other by their immense gravitational pull. It is theorized that they will eventually collide and become one gigantic Galaxy, and that in the midst of the chaos new stars could be formed.
there are a number of smaller gaxies that have already been absorbed by the Milky Way, so it does happen. the farther away an object is, the more likely it is to move away, but that does not rule out closer objects like Andromeda.
@@PaulDormody your comment doesn't answer my question. It merely states that galaxies do collide. Some galaxies must grow at a rate that outstrips the force of their diminishing gravity as they move away from other galaxies in such a way that two galaxies begin moving toward each other.
What fascinates me, is the fact that there is so much out there that we do not know. It scares me to think that there is another galaxy parallel to ours that we can either go back or forward in time and we exist in another galaxy or have existed.
Imagine an object so big that it takes light 11 billion years to travel across it. The universe is frightening.
I still cannot understand why, if galaxies are moving away from each other at increasing speeds, how is it that Andromeda is projected to collide with the Milky Way relatively soon? Outstanding video by the way!
An expanding universe is stalemated by this observation. A pulsating model however can accommodate this easily - that at a time ,perhaps, of closest approach supernova activity could push two near galaxies into entanglement. These two would be drawn into each other by the overriding local gravity 'blue shift' whilst the pulsating pattern continued amongst the general galactic populations. In short, the general red shift of the observable universe is only a temporary phase of the 'big picture' pulsation. Without such 'annommallies' represented by the Milky Way /Andromeda situation the 'big bangers' would be unopposed and never hushed into silence.
@@kennethaxe218 the gravity of both the galaxies are stronger than the force of the universe's expansion.
Galaxies aren't "technically" moving away from each other, the space between them (all space in fact) is expanding and "pushing them away. But again, this is all space, including the space between stars, even the space inside atoms. However, this cosmic expansion is not the only "force" effecting matter, electromagnetism is strong enough to overcome it at the distances within atoms and molecules. Even the weakling of gravity can overcome this expansion even at certain distances. Andromeda is our closest galactic neighbor, so the Milky Way and Andromeda have a pretty strong gravitational influence on each other. The channel PBS Space Time has plenty of videos on the topic of cosmic expansion as well as other topics if you would like to learn more.
@@EmpiricalSword so, given a dense enough point, expansion can be fought back against?
Galaxies close enough to each other can still be gravitationally bound to one another. That one statement "all galaxies are moving away from each other" is somewhat inaccurate, galaxies can and do collide.

my thought process: "this dude just said the word infinity 3 times with random context".
He just went ''inception'' on us
Additionally, there could be an infinite number of infinities inside a single infinity, OF WHICH there are infinite infinities, since the visible universe appears to be flat. And therefore, well you guessed it, infinite.
And I thought I smoked good weed ! 😆
I highly doubt there's another me out there. But I don't doubt there is life somewhat like us and so off the wall we might not ever realize it's there when we see it. We might have already seen it for all we know.
I agree
That's what twinkle is for.
if space is infinite anything would be possible
@@hhshsksks9593 True but the chances of an identical you to exist in this reality are unbelievably unlikely. The chances of everything that makes you you existing and still not coalescing into you is much more likely.
@@hhshsksks9593 Its infinite in a spiritual way, creation is energy not just 3d.
That structure at the edge of the universe must be a restaurant. Thank you Douglas Adams.
the infinite infinities portion blew my mind...we are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things lol
it's weird how we apply science to the conscious human. the theory that we'll eventually find our identical "self" in another hubble bubble is such ego-survival.
the only most likely truth is that in another hubble bubble, there will be a planet with identical evolutionary paths but the visual and consciousness result will not be the same. there's definitely other 'conscious beings' doing what they can to survive their entire species.
Hmmm this is what I think: Does infinity inevitably leed to repetition? I think not. It is quite possible to have infinity where there's no our "exact double" out there. If I look for example all the natural numbers on a natual number scale, they are infinite, yet no number repeats. There's only one of each number. So I think there's quite possible to have infinity with no repetition. Even tho logic tells us that, eventualy, all the particle arrangement would repeat ... I think that would work only if you work with finite possibilities. With infinite possibilities, you only need one of each exact state, and it's still infinite.
@@Member_zero This assumes that nothing can repeat exactly. If you assign infinity to every variable then the probability of anything is low, but not zero.
@@Clumrat Well not what I was thinking ... I am not saying it's impossible for things to repeat exactly. But only, that it does not have to, and you still can have an infinity.
Basicaly - yes exact same state is posibile - but not inevitable IMO. If the universe is infinite that is ... Could very well be finite.
Is this not technically the age of the visible universe only, not “the” universe?
Yeah, most people don't realise that we only see like 4% of the universe. everything else is invisible.
No. The age of the universe is known. Just since space is expanding faster than light we have no idea how much has passed over the cosmic horizon.
Oh, I didn't know you meant "age" in that context.
@@justiceiria869 The rest of the universe would still be 13.5 billion years old. The reason it's larger than 13.5 billion light years across is because inflation is faster than light.
@@vortex_1336 maybe up stuff.
It's probably just "More Universe"
Usually things aren't that deep... Except for the universe.
Scientists: Wait… It’s made of glass. Turns out we’re just a science experiment in a petri dish.
