- Why is There Something Rather Than Nothing? Exploring Reality, Creation, Multiverse, God, and “Nothing”
Why does anything exist? What was there from the very beginning? Total emptiness? Or did something exist out of necessity for all eternity? Could there have been a pivotal moment when “nothing” evolved into “something”? Why not complete emptiness? Is reality eternal? If not, would it at some point surrender itself to eternal absence? Is total emptiness even possible? If reality is brought into existence, does it require an external driver to initiate its being? Is its creation natural or supernatural? What’s the purpose behind reality? Does it just exist for no reason? What lies at the very core of existence? What’s behind the genesis of it all? Is our universe just one fragment of reality, or is it everything that exists? What triggered the creation of our universe? Was it a random process? Is it an effect, a product of something more fundamental? What’s the mechanism behind a universe generator? What does the realm that precedes our universe even look like? Why did the sequence of events that led to the current state of the universe occurred, and why this specific sequence was chosen over any other possibility? Reality could have been buried deep within eternal non-existence. Yet, against all odds, reality prevails… Why existence?

Its the second best videos i have watched so far on you tube about universe after melody sheep time lapse video.
What a great compliment. That exact video has been my motivation & inspiration. Thank you.
Your work, intelliegence and knowledge is truely amazing. I have watched this video more than 10 times and still lost in its depth. If we have just 1% population of the world with like minded thinking, we can fast forward human evolution to mllions of years in future within a century. Thankyou so much for making this masterpiece@@Disculogic
I concur. It’s incredibly well done and the visuals are stunning. Are they AI generated? They are so intricate.
@@rahulraja5694 Thanks for all the kind words.
@@mabaker Thank you! Not a single frame is AI generated.
This has always been the biggest mind fux for me. Thinking about it makes me feel a strange emotion. The fact that anything exists is the craziest concept imaginable.
Existence is the only thing that's not a concept, and the enjoyment of being is the strongest refuge. And everything that exists agrees.
@percyripped my thoughts exactly. I lay down and consider that anything exists and the feeling I feel is indescribable. It shatters my mind.
Correct
One things for sure, we will never find out while we're alive. All knowledge comes on death.
✌️
That's Fuck 😏
Fascinating. This and “why am I me rather than someone else” have been my two biggest questions since I can remember.
I believe that consciousness is an emergent property, so you are YOU because that's all YOU could have been 😊
I think we all have this feeling and maybe we’re all connected yet individuals
@@dogsandyoga1743 thanks, but the answer just doesn’t satisfy!! Supposing consciousness is an emergent property of the brain (which we absolutely do NOT know to be the case)… then a complex clump of matter here gets conscious, another one over there gets conscious, etc. But when it comes to my personal consciousness, there seems no mechanism or explanation as to why I happen to be this emergent phenomena as opposed to that emergent phenomena.
It feels more to me that I am in some sense not limited to this particular person’s experience. My name, history, personality, etc etc are not essential to “me”.
(So, I’m arguing there is more to it than just consciousness arising from matter). But still, either way I look at it… it doesn’t answer why I’m (seemingly) this particular person rather than any other entity! Or no entity!
@@whimsicallady9759 agreed - we’re the hand, not the individual fingers. Still, I seem to be experiencing life as THIS finger, rather than some other finger (or no other finger!). It’s absolutely mysterious to me.
My best educated guess is, loosely speaking, we are actually God, who is infinitely free to do whatever it wants to, and out of its infinite freedom, it has chosen this life experience to… experience.
Something like that! Or maybe we’re all just brains in a vat, who knows
@@SuitedPup I remember I was around 10 or so, and my parents introduced me to a woman who apparently dated my father for a while, but ended up hooking him up with her friend, who eventually became my Mother. At the time, and for a long time, I remember thinking "wow...this lady could have been MY mom!". Of course, as I grew, it evolved into "wow, if SHE was my mom, actually, I would be some other version of me!" to I eventually realized, "wait, if she married my father, there would be no me!" Cue teenage existential crisis 🤣
Now, I wondered, of course...if my parents hadn't created ME, would my "me" still exist, in another body, never to have the slightest awareness of the me who exists now? I have no idea, but I also have no reason to think I would. I, simply wouldn't "be".
At eight years of age, I sat alone on a street curb and looked at the sky and asked this question. I'm 61 today
We didn't even have common books on the topic,no Internet. Just a lonely child.
Sometimes I wonder if time doesn’t really exist and you still are simultaneously that 8 yo and 61 yo and every moment between. Something I’ve always thought about since I was a 8 yo myself.
When I was 8 I was lying in my bed thinking about the night sky and started wondering about concepts of nothing, infinity, an end and trying to picture those things. I got upset and started crying. And at 66 I still think of these things and always come back to there is a point beyond which mortal mind just cannot comprehend.
@@stompthedragon4010 that's fantastic! I enjoyed the video!
I love this
I was 13 when I started pondering about existence. I guess I was a late bloomer.😢
I still think it’s wild that huge quantities of rock are floating in a huge expanse of empty space.
Petri dishes
Sparkles too and gas bubbles 😊
I just think it's wild that space isn't really that empty we simply cant perceive the matter that's there.
Indeed
@@NamesZKPyeah but there is space that's pretty damn empty. Or at least we think. Even mostly devoid of the smallest particles.
The crazy thing is that nobody can imagine nothing. We can imagine empty space, but not no space.
Nah, you can though: think back to what it was like before you were born. What was that like?
And there you have it-that’s nothingness.
@@mattd2641That's still not imaginable, I don't recall what it was like before I was born.
@@mattd2641awareness is all we know, of course we can't image it. Can you describe what's it's like to be asleep? If we aren't aware of it, we can't know it.
you can imagine nothing.
it is possible.
just think of an empty space and now shrink that space inside itself- there is nothing left, no color, no darkness, no boundaries, no beginning - that's nothing for me.
whenever I try that - I can never imagine it for long, the space in my imagination is always expanding again when I focus on it, which I have to to imagine it in the first place.
@@Ruheschrei You cannot imagine nothing , becuase Nothing cannot be observed
I’ve watched countless videos on this subject and to get an hourlong video that never once loses focus but also does not get overly complex is a gift. Succinct logic and approachable analogies this will be the video I send to people to introduce them to the question that follows me every minute of every day. Thank you for giving me the gift of peace and easy to follow questions. A masterpiece that makes the complex seem understandable.
@jacobsilva6851 Very happy to hear that. My pleasure.
It is very interesting, but I have a hard time keeping focused with the loud background music/noise.
I've also watched countless videos on this subject and what I've learned is that nowhere in the one hour and twenty six minutes on offer here will the question even come near being answered.
Arbi, mate this is outstanding work. The BBC Natural History Unit and Prof. Jim Al-Khalili would be proud of you. This is by far the best presentation on the deep questions involved with Cosmology I’ve ever seen, including both Cosmos series (Carl Sagan and Neil de Grasse Tyson). 👍
@@ralphclark It frames the questions and the limits of our current understanding. There is no way to know for sure the were even having the same experience let alone a final answer to some of the questions posed. The effort to even point to some ideas is laudable. Quality and production value aside they are amazing in their own. We don’t even know the full question let alone a final answer.
As a thinking adult who takes the time to ponder the complexities of life, existence, and "why," this is by far the most comprehensive video on the topic. It's not just one thing - it is literally all things, and it blows my mind that there are people like you that have obviously taken the time and spent the energy to on some level try to puzzle it out. Thank you...I watched this video today starting at 9 this morning, and paused it here and there to think about it all, and just now finished this video at 2:30. I am going to be in a state of thought for days...thanks again brother!!!
My pleasure.
@@Disculogic not like it was mine brother...keep it up Thanks again...I know how much time this took...
We didn’t evolve to know, we were designed to learn…
The answer to existence isn’t meant to be explainable. The answer lies in the experience.
Starting with faulty assumptions rarely leads to the correct answer.
Who do you think designed us?
God?
If so, which god?
I like to get other people's ideas 😊
@@BeatlesFan1975a god that exists apart from the universe
There is no such thing as god depicted in religions. If you are captivated in misconception, you will fail to learn.
@@Brutananadlewskione that exists apart is as useful as one that does not exist.
The UA-cam algorithm needs to be kind to this video. Excellent stuff.
Thank you.
@@Disculogic Deserved. I hope you make more content like this. You will go far for sure. This kind of content tends to grow rapidly. As another comment said, it's on the same level as Melody Sheep 👍🏻
Love that compliment.
You’re here aren’t you?
@@JimmyJamesJimbo What are you getting at?
When I was 4 I vividly remember sitting on the foot of my bed asking both my parents why are we all here and why do we all have to die. No one in my life had died up until that point and I had no real perception of what space or matter was. But mainly I remember feeling confused about what life even is.
Among all the shared childhood experiences mine has been the creepiest I believe. My 4-year-old brain had this specific fascination: Nothingness, and how would it feel when you die and turn into nothing, like when you have a dreamless sleep or before you were born. It was scary.
When I was about 5 I sat depressed in the bathroom telling my mother I was sad because everything felt “empty.” This struck her as so profound.
It's amazing that we are created from the cosmos and have the level of intelligence to recognise and explore this. We certainly have ben given the Box Seat. Really well done.
I think wise men and prophets have hinted at our place in the cosmos. It took an entire cosmos and billions of years to eventually form you and your box seat. That makes you the entirety of the cosmos, in a roundabout way.
Are you rossgregor experiencing the universe, or are you the universe experiencing rossgregor?
Premortality
Premortality refers to our life before we were born on this earth. In our pre-earth life, we lived in the presence of our Heavenly Parents as Their spirit children. We did not have a physical body. In this premortal existence, we attended a council with Heavenly Father’s other spirit children. At that council, Heavenly Father presented His great plan of happiness. In harmony with the plan of happiness, the premortal Jesus Christ, the Firstborn Son of the Father in the spirit, covenanted to be the Savior. Those who followed Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ were permitted to come to the earth to experience mortality and progress toward eternal life. Lucifer, another spirit son of God, rebelled against the plan and “sought to destroy the agency of man.” He became Satan, and he and his followers were cast out of heaven and denied the privileges of receiving a physical body and experiencing mortality. Throughout our premortal life, we developed our identity and increased our spiritual capabilities. Blessed with the gift of agency, we made important decisions, such as the decision to follow Heavenly Father’s plan. These decisions affected our life then and now. We grew in intelligence and learned to love the truth, and we prepared to come to the earth, where we could continue to progress.
Box seat to dystopian moronic society unfortunately in usa
@kayakMike1000 What in the Universe is a rossgregor??
Plan of Salvation
Before we were born on earth, we lived with our Heavenly Parents as Their spirit children. At a council with all of His children, Heavenly Father presented a plan, known as the “plan of salvation” or “the great plan of happiness.” The plan includes all the laws and ordinances of the gospel necessary to gain eternal life, “the greatest of all the gifts of God.” Sadly, one-third of Heavenly Father’s spirit children did not accept the plan. They chose to follow Lucifer, who became the devil, and were cast out of the presence of God. We are on earth because we chose to follow Heavenly Father’s plan. One significant purpose of mortality is to gain a physical body. On earth we can have joy and peace, but we will also face temptation, opposition, and adversity and experience trials. Earthly trials are part of mortality and can help us grow to be more like our Heavenly Father. Essential to the plan is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Jesus overcame spiritual and physical death and took upon Himself our afflictions, sorrows, and sins. This suffering, death, and Resurrection are referred to as the Atonement. The Atonement was necessary since “no unclean thing can dwell with God.” It is through Christ’s sacrifice that we can repent and live with God again. Also essential to God’s plan is agency, or the ability to choose. When we choose to repent of our sins, we choose to accept the gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. If we exercise our agency to keep the commandments, we have the blessing of participating in sacred ordinances, which are ceremonies that include making covenants, or promises, with God. These ordinances include baptism, confirmation, priesthood ordination for men, and temple ordinances. Part of our Heavenly Father’s plan is that someday we will all die. Death is the separation of the spirit and the physical body. Our spirit, which existed in the premortal life, will live on after our death. If we lived righteously-repenting as needed-to the end of our mortal life, we will enter spirit paradise. The Book of Mormon prophet Alma described this as “a state of rest, a state of peace.” Because of Christ’s Atonement, all of God’s children will be resurrected and our bodies and spirits will be reunited. Resurrection will be followed by the Final Judgment, where God will judge us according to our desires and our obedience to the commandments. If we have qualified through repentance, we will be able to live forever with our loving heavenly parents.
When you have autism, and in society you find that the social rules are so confusing.... Parents that are supposed to stand by you with loyalty instead will assault you, you find that you are not allowed to seek greatness for fear of being accused of being egotistical, you are expected to follow everyone else's lead and never be a leader yourself, you can learn all you like but you are not listened to and able to be a teacher, you are abused by the very people that are are commisioned to care for you and the list goes on and on and on.... You will find yourself looking at the sky at night, and all of the stars in the sky; asking deep questions about why all this is happen with the hope of reaching the holy grail of ending all of these problems decribed above (the time of which seem immeasurably further away than you can comprehend); and you ask question like "Why am I here?", "Where will I go when I die?", "Why do all these things happen?", "Who am I?" and "What does it all mean?" and you will spend your whole life trying to figure it all out. Whenever you ask a question, such as "Why your own parents don't stand by you and instead hit you", and you get the answer, it just raises another question about why the answer is the way that it is (because the answer doesn't satisfy your sense of understanding and feels like it doesn't make sense). Questions that are answered, raise more questions, which in turn raise further questions, and those questions raise more questions, and so on and so forth; like layers of an inion that just go on and on and on... It is like being in 'Alice in Wonderland!' ...but a very Hellish version of it.
True true
This is a rational description of the paradoxical essence of any query. The answer to the question asked is actually contained in the question itself. For example we can only define what is by comparing "it" to what "it" is not, even this can be further discriminated by a range of pertinent values or degrees of properties. So, for those looking up to here and now, this could be heaven, to those looking down from heaven, this could be hell for sure, getting hotter too IMO. A guy asked God which one of the many Elohiym characters was talking to him out of this burning bush, or the modern term, "bush light", the answer was "I Am That I Am". This is why people in that part of the world love Olives so much. Facts are that parents are not Elohiym, they are just people who did the best they could with the shirt they had on, and blaming them even after they are dead does not help you understand any better. I Am seems to hint that this may be as good as it gets, but you are free to make it worse and will if you can not take a cosmic joke. Your visiting time is almost over so dig it. Popeye was not out to sea much, but he knew what was good for him and Olive, and he got it out of a can, not a can't. Hope this helps.
It may help and put things into perspective to read about the lives of the Stoic's..and possibly the Quakers.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.
Hey buddy, sorry for your suffering. My theory is that we’re eternal and we occasionally incarnate something that will die, something that lives in death, to expand our understanding of ourselves. Suffering is a tool for us, a catalyst for knowledge about our own divinity, our own eternal nature. It’s Because we live as something finite and limited for now , so that we can achieve this, that we can learn about our infinite nature. For the glory of the universe and the creator of it. It’s absolute pure bliss and love , everything is going to be okay.
To everyone watching, remember these two things:
• impossible to know or to measure ≠ without a cause
• we don't even know what we don't know
Let there be light.
We don't even know what we know 😃
To even think of the beginning of time is mindbulging.
Yea i know i thought about it a lot and now my eyes bulged out of my head and i now have slinky eyes
Just amazing. What a sensational video. Think you hit the mark with this one. So many things I've pondered on in my own daydreams touched on in this. One of the greatest docs on youtube, ever.
Happy to hear that. You're welcome.
The quality of (some) UA-cam videos has far surpassed the old fashioned medias like television. It's amazing what level of quality and insight we can stumble upon while surfing oYT, and thanks to the algoritm of recommendations, I was fortunate enough to find this utter gem. Great job on this video, keep it up!
Thanks so much. My pleasure.
Can I just say this is genuinely the most interesting video I have ever watched
Bro I'm like 5 minutes into your video and it's really good. Watched tonnes of these over the years. So well produced. No cap. Subbing.
Thanks!
no cap? Andy Capp exists. Andy Capp is the key...My pet.

Awesome music. Sets the mood. But the answer is simply if there was nothing you would still complain.
Actually the music is very annoying and distracting and drowns out the narrator.

Who.. would complain?
@@xorret1 you're missing the joke.
@@nathanforrest3483 lol half asleep watching this of course. I thought you were being a meanie. But I got ya, apologies lol
👏 best cosmology video I have ever seen. I love your visual animation and music choices. Probably the best video on UA-cam about this particular subject.
Thank you. Took me more than a year to make this video.
@@DisculogicYou did a really good job with this one. I forgot to mention the sound design was perfect.
Beautifully comprehensive survey of some of the most curious and subtle cosmological forces such as chaos, cosmic inflation quantum phenomena dark matter and energy, and multiverse theory. Kudos to the author(s)!!
Thank you for not over complicating a subject that is intensely complicated. You have a gift of a soothing voice, and an excellent understanding of the inner workings of our universe, and all the many bodies in it. Love this !
I remember when it was around my 3rd birthday. I had this profound feeling and had to climb out of my crib. I was afraid of being caught, but something was drawing me outside. I still remember what a beautiful clear day it was and felt a beckoning to look up and out to space. It was like an epiphany of momentarily realizing infinity and nothingness at the same time. I also remember feeling that there was no sound and it was if I was the only person alive, yet I was a part of everything that ever existed! I think that's why I have a fascination with Buddhism, which science is starting to prove that there is no self!
I’ve been playing this video to go to sleep every night over the past week and it’s hands down the best video I’ve seen here that discusses bizarre world of quantum physics in a way that makes me truly believe in a possible theory of everything. Beautiful amazing work! Can’t wait for @Disculogic’s next video!
🙏🙏
Reading some of these comments makes me remember being in the shower while around 10 yrs old & crying because all I could imagine after this life was nothingness. All that has changed now & I will never be that scared again, nothing ever dies and we all go though the same cycles to meet again. 💪💫
You say this every time
The music is overbearing, and music should be edited into the mix would great subtle care, where it is almost an inaudible whisper and not overpowering the words, because it becomes a mess of noisy confusion with loud music blaring, over powering the words. I have hearing damage so I hear some frequencies better than others which makes the problem more exaggerated I think.I actually like documentaries with no music it makes it more clear, precise, poignant and beautiful.
This blew me away! Metaphysics with stunning visuals. This goes to my "favourites" playlist. Thank you so much for this awesome piece of art 🙌
My pleasure.
Suggesting there's no answer is a cop-out we must avoid if we're to find the truth. The concept of eternal internal self-generation is a giant step in the right direction.
There is no answer, that's the beauty of it. Reducing existence to a function of input and output, to a machine with a singular reason for being, does not do reality justice.
It’s likely fundamentally impossible to explain from within the system. When you think about the idea of causality or reason at all, it’s sort of self evident that there must have been an initial reason or cause that (to us in our human experience and day to day reference) is irrationally independent of any previous or prior cause.
We can only get better models, and I’m interested in seeing what the best possible or most verifiable and most encompassing model of the future will be.
Even answering and explaining consciousness right now has been yet to be done if it’s truly possible / (has a material explanation at all)
Interesting reply, but many (including myself) trust that Logic--which makes so many other things possible (quantity, energy, even possibility itself)--is more likely than not a multiversal or multireality or suprareality foundational element that is applicable to and makes all reality possible.
@@Mopark25 There's always an answer, because many, as I, accept that Logic, a foundational element for reason, makes other things possible. As Spock said in Star Trek, "Logic is the beginning of wisdom." If this is true, then, no matter which universe or reality your mind exists in (Wikipowers versions like the illogical reality are nonsensical), you can still reason, through Logic, on the underlying nature of Existence.
@@NaturalFuture what would you be defining logic as?
I’d argue that logic is, at the peak of reality, is innately limited. Every model or idea of existence’s origins that’s been put forth requires assuming or asserting an initial state or premise.
Then, that premise allows the rest coupled with varying degrees or types of logic.
Ex: Big bang -> Laws of Physics = Universe
Or God -> Creates existence = Universe
Problem is, all these initial premises or states can be questioned with Why?
Why a God existing and doing xyz
Why an eternal state that brings forth xyz
Why any causeless premise?
That Why - is why the peak of reality will always be illogical.
Logic is an idea within reality, it’s unlikely that it can predate its own origin / it’s unlikely that existence itself can be explained or initially constrained by the logic it holds
If I explained anything poorly in here, just lemme know
When i was a baby i remember waking up on a blanket already knowing that i didnt want to be here again
That is scary, do you think there is a possibility of staying on the other side?
Is that a joke or do you really remember that?
Profound, I get it, I wonder if consciousness is cyclical and one day we recognise that the weird De Ja Vu and other phenomenon is the consciousness somehow recognising a memory..
Scary to think we get multiple bites at the cherry and will never know...
Or could our consciousness by chance replicate an exact copy in another life form many millions if not billions of years into the future just by chance and we keep existing just through mathematical probability, would we know any different?
Same here. This world is ruthless. Wish it was better.
Yeah right...
Existence is exhausting.

This video is an incredibly good explanation. 10/10. I 've watched this twice now to take it all in.
We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights on this topic. You'll always have our support.
Thanks. Appreciate your recognition.
I just discovered your channel. And WOW! What a video! This is superb content. I’m only 20 minutes in and I’m completely ensnared. Excellent stuff here. I follow a number of channels and consider myself to have pretty good taste in this genre. You, sir, have certainly made the list. And I really appreciate it. Thank you.
Happy to hear that. My pleasure.
Realty, just the whole fact of it existing is just totally insane! It’s crazy to think about, sometimes awesome sometimes terrifying it blows my mind. Personally I like the mathematical explanation, basically if it’s logical it will exist because maths is logic- logic is fundamental and can be summed up as that which CAN exist. If there’s no brute fact constraint at fundamental reality then the brute fact of logic should ‘logically’ be there.
Perhaps it is logical to realize being while there is time to enjoy existence.
Reminds me of the concept of “the logos”
Our Heavenly Father have us here to Learn our Lessons in this Dream earth 🌎 classroom. Once 😂learned we go on to our next learning experience and we grow and grow in Love and Understanding Life❤❤❤
One of best videos I've watched on "Why is there something rather than nothing?"
Incredible work. Thank you.
Pleasure.
I REALLY love that he makes the distinction between philosophical 'nothing' (what most would consider truly nothing) and the scientific 'nothing' (quantam foam). Only a 10th of the way through but I'm loving it so far. I will say Astrophysicists would do well to clarify what they mean by nothing, or at least make the distinction. Lawrence Krauss did it in his book and called it an 'idealised nothing', this would prevent the layman from assuming something came from nothingness.
You did really really good with this. I don’t think I’ve watched a video so intently before tbh
Thank you.
@@Disculogic Finally off work but wanted to say that all the people just blatantly saying you're wrong don't fully understand the nature of our current understanding (or lack thereof) of quantum mechanics and the principle that there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to theories about how the Universe came to be.
I've always pondered on the potential of the universe paradoxing itself into existence and it truly was amazing to sit and listen to your video. Keep on with the solid work man. It's what I love about all of these theories, is that they are all equally possible in a sense because we truly do not know how the universe actually works.
@@ResearchSWE Thanks for sharing your thoughts. About " there is no right or wrong answer", sometimes the key point is that "it's allowed", meaning maybe it can't be confirmed as of now, but it doesn't violate any known law.
Great stuff. But the question really is...what drives any of it... why????
I think a better structured question would be, why would anything need to drive it?
Whenever we ask why, we are presupposing there needs to be an explanation.
It's much more likely that reality is the explanation.
We are the why.
That is if you needed one which I don't think you do.
Alan Watts has some great insights on this.
Well I doubt its a woman.

Not only that, but multiverse answers to most paradox. It just makes sense.
Thank you Arbi! Amazing video. Besides the narrative, the animations and music added a whole extra depth to everything. Not sure about everyone else that watched, but I was left perplexed by how everything here on earth, including our own bodies and consciousness derived from this single point. Through potential perhaps, we find that we are in fact the universe, and the only thing that separates us are our unique experiences on earth... is this a grand illusion, or a mechanism to further evolution, or maybe both?
You're welcome. The next episode might address your question to some extent.
Incredible work, thank you.
Pleasure!
Absolutely one of my favorite channels. Love your stuff
Thanks!
When I was around 4 years old, I distincly remembering laying in bed feeling absolutely certain that if I fell asleep, I wouldn't remember anything. And sure enough, it was like a factory reset of my brain. I didn't even recognize my parents and my best friend. I was meeting the next day and kind of faked it until I relearnt everybody.
but if you truly forgot everything you wouldn't have known who anybody was and would have been so confused you wouldn't have been able to act regularly
This video is simply amazing, a masterpiece. I'm going to rewatch it, probably several times. Thanks my friend.
My pleasure.
'The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you'
Definitely exhilarating and thought provoking.i came up with my own theory of existence during this.
You can share it here. Maybe it'll be close to a pre-existing theory or hypothesis.
When I was a young child, I would sometimes get a profound momentary sense/feeling that I had been given a glimpse of the grandeur of our existence! Those moments were some of the most powerful I’d ever experienced! As I got older, those moments stopped!
I always wondered if there was something the universe was trying to tell me!
I’m a seemingly wandering lost adult soul now!
I also had the same experience as a kid when sleeping/dreaming, like I was being tested to see if I could be told or know something-it’s like I was in space with all these equations and numbers. It was so overwhelming and difficult and they never stopped. And each time it took more and more effort to do. It was a recurring dream for a while, then one time it became so overwhelming that I couldn’t do it, just the thought of it was enough to make me break down completely. And then I woke up crying and had been sleepwalking. I remember just as soon as I was awake that I immediately stopped crying: I knew I had failed the test, but suddenly became aware that it made no sense why I was crying, I knew I had no reason to, and so I just walked back to my room and went right to bed. Never got the dreams again-not one time after that.
had smth like that after i drank 4 bottles of cough medicine, specifically about viewing the bigger picture as a sort of fractal that I was a branch of. Strangely inspiring.
Same when I would smoke crack! Profound visions of a deeper reality indeed only to wake up in a pool of my own vomit and waste fluids. Men of culture we meet again!
I think your channel should get a lot more subs. I love your content.
Thank you, glad to hear that.
Thak you for this, No words can say
Pleasure!
This is the best video I've ever seen on these topics. Well done sir!!!
Thank you.
Subbed after the intro! This quality is excellent.
Nice, thanks.
absolutely wonderful!🙏
Thank you.
Incredible video!
Thank you!
Wow this was absolutely amazing! Subscribed immediately!
Thank you.
This was really a bravura video. Quite ambitious. Really encompasses the questions that I find myself frequently pondering. At this point what I believe can basically be boiled down to: "The simplest and perhaps most valid answer to the question of why is why not?" and "Everything that can exist does exist in some capacity." It would seem as though modal logic and quantum theory point to the same thing. Endlessly fascinating.
this video is amazing, ty
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
You are incredible. I hope that this video is the spark that eventually brings the millions of views and subscribers to your page into existence.
Thanks so much.
Brilliant. If a human being isn't inspired by this logic and wisdom then they won't exist. Peace be with you.
Thank you.
Well I have to admit being one of the people who has always wondered about the mysterious conundrums of existense, space, time, nothing , infinity, this video threw me a new one. Actually jolted me; a universe that isnt ( but is?) ? Love the graphics, audio, and narration.
Glad to hear that. My pleasure.
awe inspiring..
@Disculogic. 5 *****. Excellent work. So well-done.
Thank you!
As good as this video is -and it is exceptional -your ability to capture these concepts and condense and clearly convey them in a language that is obviously not your primary tongue is even more phenomenal. I would love to have a copy of this manuscript. Better yet, you could easily expand this into a book - a popular theory of everything. Not to mention the graphics and the soundscape. This is a transcendent work. Bravo!
Feels good to see people recognizing the effort behind your work, thank you. Took me almost 2 years from start to finish.
Thank you for the effort and the labour of love!
So, if all of my favorite things are made out of nothing then why are they so expensive?
This is a masterpiece!!
Thank you!
Can I ask you a personal question? Why is this a masterpiece? Why can't I create something that is a masterpiece in the same way? I keep on and on trying and trying, and showing people what I can do. I want to know what I am doing wrong. I am fed up being told to show appreciation for what other people are doing, I can't be happy because of it. I need to be the one that is admired like this... Why has it got to be other people that get this and never me? I made an attempt on my own life, by trying to cause a cardiac arrest with my heart problem 3 months ago when I was about to have anesthetic, as whatever I do isn't good enough to turn this problem around. I am sick of being cheated.
@@thevikingwarriorThe thing is, you are already a masterpiece that the human mind is unable to perceive so you don't need others approval or recognition trust me..
@@TheMiddle-Child Well thankyou for that comment. But trust me, it is very much a help when other people are recognising me, instead of constantly telling me that I am a failure like they usually do.
Incredible video, I will wait patiently for the next.
I will have to watch this a couple of times to really think break everything down! By far the best coverage on the topic by anyone
Awesome, thank you.
Leaving a comment for the algo! Great stuff 🙌
Much appreciated.
Particle effects are incredible - amazing work!!
Thanks. Took forever!
Most amazing video on cosmology I’ve ever seen.
Thank you very much !
Thank you for your amazing work 👏
Just a question; your old videos were also amazing but they aren't here anymore. Are you planning to re-upload them?
Thank you! They're unlisted for now. I might public them again at some point. What I can promise is that I'll re-create the most interesting topics from those episodes.
Mate, great video, keep up the good work... Consider me subscribed!
Thanks!
Planck length might not be the smallest possible physical length, but rather the smallest possible length we can know anything about, in principle (otherwise it'll generate a black hole).
I remember as a kid having the strong wish (and frustration of not being able) of knowing it all. I am thankful that today, as an adult, I can say I know enough to choose to be happy.
Perfect content for my next psychedelic trip. Your visualisations are very close to my tripy visions, how the fundamental reality, the one and only thing that exist, the one and only true consciousness which contains all "looks" like.
Awesome!
Why you deleted other videos from your channels... I used to watch them to go to sleep 😢😢😢😢
I didn't delete those, just made them private for now :) They'll be back soon. Hope you enjoyed this one.
I loved this one.. Bt make the other videos public again.
Q: why is there something (spatial extension) rather than nothing (no spatial extension)?
A: in Geometry any new dimension has to contain within it all previous dimensions. This remains true with it being impossible for atomic protons and neutrons (spatial extension) to exist without subatomically containing within themselves quarks (no spatial extension).
Yeah, but ur simplifying the true essence of what makes the question so profound...Why is there something rather than nothing? Quarks, spatial extension, being "something".
Why is there ANYTHING, rather than nothing...?
That is the seemingly unanswerable question.
@@justinlaw9336the simple answer would be because "nothing" is unstable.
Next, whenever we ask why, we are presupposing there needs to be some purpose or reason.
@@someoneelse6618How do you know that 'nothing' is unstable? Have you had a chance to observe 'nothing' and measured its instability? What tools and metrics did you use?
@@jfairway1 nothing is unstable due to quantum fluctuations.
All particles are trying to reach a state of equilibrium.
In doing so,
These quantum fluctuations spontaneously create what we call something.
It's a theory.
Like all of science, it only illuminates how much we don't know but it does serve to explain quite a bit.
@@someoneelse6618 You are stating that nothing is unstable. Therefore nothing is unstable as per your own words. Therefore there is no instability because nothing is unstable as you said.
If everything ceases to exist, that would be a painless death. Heck even the thought of death dies. Its like turning off a switch and then nothing
Excellent video. Really enjoyed that. Well done, and thank you. I have the utmost respect for people who produce things of the highest quality in expectation of nothing in return.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Although as mentioned towards the end, I need support to be able to continue. Took me 1.5 years to make this.
I LOVE your voice and production. Music is👌🏻
Eta in case my autism didn't come thru, the content is A1.
Thanks so much.
Then you'll love music called psybient. D.I. FM Radio app has a station dedicated to it
This video appears to be about 20% science and 80% philosophy, at least i think 😊
More like 90% speculation otherwise known as a wag.
Sure, but it has its place.
Was sleeping and hearing your voice in my dreams, dreaming about reality and the fabrics of the univers and the universal love embeded in everything, just to awake to your Video and calm voice and still thinking I am dreaming.....oh Brother what great work of art and love, like I am tripping on psychadrlics and the universe explodes and explains itself out of my heart again....thank you so much Brother ❤
My pleasure.
This is the most fundamental of questions & the most important. It tests our understanding to the limits.
This is a local Universe for local people.
We'll not have this trouble here.
Can you tell me where your points are, please?
As the " thinker is the thought"
Zero = infinity.

I was at a meeting when I began to be aware that something was taking note of me and causing me to be aware that it was observing me. I was no longer aware of being at a meeting, but rather trying to cope with a completely unique state in which something was sharing my mind, when I was quickly informed: Your beliefs don't mean anything to me. I accepted that and was flooded with happiness in realizing I had nothing to portray to myself or anyone else. I was soaring in freedom. What was this that was sharing my mind? There was no light or darkness, no up or down, no in or out, yet I perceived that I was in the presence of everything and that the Creator inhabited it, yet I saw nothing. I asked if I had a part in any of this and it said: Well? I'm showing you!! I recall experiencing no want there. It's the least that could be asked of you to keep my comandments, was next presented to me, and I expressed I felt I could do that. Then I found myself chest up against an edifice of translucent stone, dimly perceiving some sort of mechanism operating inside, and I was presented with: Healing, even of death, is less than a whim. That felt incredibly tangible, and I was trying to wrap my mind around that when I realized I was being returned to the meeting. At the point where both realms were 50/50 I was shocked to realize that the vision was more real than the real world I was returning to. Upon reflection I realize that I was in the presence of existence and the being that inhabits existence is a verb, I am, not a noun as the names of human deities. I was shown the value of realizing being, free of beliefs if I will. In the presence of the Creator with everything there, I almost laughed at the thought of entertaining belief in my puny little brain about something so presently expansive! I saw that the error of human thought is extreme, so that the things we need to know must be shown: can't get there from here.
I agree. The experience or vision is far more “real.” Thanks for sharing this
❤️
May I ask, are you a Mormon? This ‘’meeting’ and “veil” in the Temple? It’s important to me.
I don't recall implying a veil. The meeting in fact did take place in a church, not Mormon, and it heralded the eventual dissolution of the church.
At 42 minutes in, when talking about alleged abstract mathematical forms, you sound like Plato describing the world of ideas--transcendentalism, in other words.
Yes. MUH is a form of Platonism
Really enjoyed this one thank you 😊
Pleasure!
This was awesome. Need to watch this again later.
Amazing work! thank you ❤🙌❤
You're welcome.
I rarely comment on UA-cam but I think it could be something to be proud about so I'm sharing my thoughts with you.This is, hands down, the BEST video I've ever watched on UA-cam. Great great job, I enjoyed every second. So professional and well done. But let me ask you a question: if the most probabilistic scenario is the one where reality basically creates itself and there's no real answer to the question "why?" then it looks to me that we understand a concept much "smarter " or more intricated than the real state of things. How's that so? What do you think? I hope you understand my question because english isn't my first language.
To be more precise, I've always wondered whether the fact that we can conceive the concept of why is our smartest part or our greatest flaw (because maybe we are unable to understand what does it mean to not having a meaning)
Lots of videos on this topic refer to "cosmic inflation"...but none of them try to explain how inflation stopped. The lack of a plausible, evidence based mechanism as to how this occurred is a serious problem with inflation hypotheses. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You're welcome.
Excellent video! Please keep them coming!
Thanks.
This was a very rich inquiry and sharing of theory that really blew my mind. Thank you! 🙏🏻
My pleasure.
I think this was the first hour long video I've watched without clicking away, nice one man
Awesome, my pleasure.
Great video !!

Thank you Isaac. Appreciate your support as always. Big fan since Black Hole Farming ;)
@@Disculogic I tihnk I had about 7k subs when that came out, I hit 10k a couple months later :)
This is such an easy answer. Nothing is Nothing. Therefore there has Always been Something. This is the essence of the meaning of eternity.
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
