    In a previous video you made a note that it is impossible to separate quarks.
    Moving them apart creates enough energy to create another pair of quarks.
    So in the instant that dark energy becomes strong enough to pull apart subatomic particles the universe will suddenly be full of enough mass to slow down the expansion of the universe.
    So have we just explained inflation?

      would it slow the expansion enough to the point of it reversing/clumping back to one single point? sorry if I misunderstood some point here.

    • @eliomonaco147
      @eliomonaco147 5 років тому +94

      He says that at that point no particle is close enough to interact with each other. So, maybe quarks continuously form, but as soon as they form the are not longer in causal connection with each other, meaning that all this new matter and energy have no time to communicate gravitational interactions to each other. But I have no clue.

    • @LaserGuidedLoogie
      @LaserGuidedLoogie 5 років тому +74

      Good point. Add in Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, and we might have a winner (the universe goes through an endless series of cycles that generate their successor).
      This would not only explain Inflation, but also explain how each successive universe can start at maximum entropy.

      @@butHomeisNowhere___ - That fringe cosmology slightly irritates me too much. However I do enjoy some quality videos like those of Skydivephil, which do touch fringe cosmology but are not that repetitive as "time travel" and "many worlds" stuff. Problem is that when I get one of those, even if I get to sleep (and I'm not absorbed by the dissertation, resulting in high brain activity and no sleep), I often want to rewatch in the morning or whenever I wake up, resulting in delays.
      Nature docus are generally the best for sleep, really.

    • @JubioHDX
      @JubioHDX Рік тому +1

      i think Eons is on the same level as this personally, this channel does go into a bit more with its longer videos but thats also likely because much more of these things can be proven through mathematics and proven theories even if we will never see it happen to prove it in the moment, whereas with Eons youre dealing with extremely fragmented fossil records that are always deleting themselves with natural disasters (if the evidence even forms in the first place). So its a bit more speculative discussion and a bit less like a lecture on known phenomena (and i mean lecture in the best way possible)

      @mykofreder1682 5 років тому +2

      Who ever puts this together reads at least some of the comments and they answer the questions people have given an over the top treatment of things like the big rip. The time line and closing of the observable universe make it clear the scenario is a lot like having black holes form on every object in the universe and eventually every atom. I suspect the closing moments would be a lot like entering a black hole, with the tidal forces of space time having similar effects. Until a year or so ago I took the big bang literally, an explosion that flung things to the edges of the universe, with some doubts considering the vast quantity of mass involved, but it at least conformed with things I do understand. The expanding space time does not conform to anything I understand, how it transports massive galaxies at speeds that defeats those galaxies local velocities, which are quite high, and makes it small.

    I'm glad you mentioned particle production when accelerating expansion starts to rip hadrons apart. I was already planning to come down here to suggest it. To me, this seems like it fits well with inflation and a new big bang in a model of eternal inflation.
    It may also explain why there is more matter than antimatter. Whatever minuscule portion of an earlier universe that suddenly expanded into ours would be locally dominated by one or the other (or photons left over from annihilation).

      - Consider also Stephen Hawking's point about the net energy of the entire cosmos being zero, with the positive mass energy of matter in the form of hyperplasma had to be offset by the negative energy hyperinflating emergence of spacetime along with matter at cosmic t0. Could it not be the case that the only reason cosmic spacetime continues to expand is because the process of matter creation is still ongoing? To me, the question is, how is spacetime generated? It could very well be that it is an irreversible process, such that there is no way the cosmos could "recollapse" for the simple reason that once matter/spacetime emerges, there is no way for them to "recombine" and thus cancel out a certain amount of mass along with a particular measure of spacetime volume.

    Wouldn't it be more reasonable to call Dark Energy "Anti Gravity?" It seems to work in the opposite way to Gravity in particular: a force that we cannot see pulling apart as opposed to pulling in. Dark Energy also doesn't sound as cool in my book.
    With that in mind, what if there aren't only pits in space where gravity is? What if there are also mountains, and as *matter pulls together [or apart, as it may be], forming deeper pits in spacetime, then the opposite must also be done to compensate? Mountains of spacetime rising up in the matterless parts of the universe?

    • @TheColemancreek
      @TheColemancreek 5 років тому

      I would imagine, aside from the notion of Einstein-Rosen bridges, if you lived towards the outer "edge" you might be able to avoid the crunch. If you use our current understanding of dark energy, the rebound or "crunch" would be eventually moving at faster than the speed of light, and thus you would never be able to avoid moving away from this inevitably. General relativity allows for this notion that if you are separated from the frame of reference things can (and do) actually move faster than light. The current expansion of the universe is already moving at this FLT speed.

  • @PaulSebastianM

    What if there is no dark energy, just positive pressure? That would mean that at some point in time, the expansion will stop as the pressure equalizes.

    • @felicityc
      @felicityc 2 роки тому +4

      Pressure equalizing is probably what caused the separation of the forces, when the universe expanded large enough that subatom particles could no longer stay together without gravity- that is, when light was needed, since before then, everything was within a small enough space where all matter could interact with all other matter; but "pressure" is an odd concept, considering it implies there is an outside. What exactly is the positive pressure acting against? There would have to be something beyond the expansion, even beyond the light horizon, and beyond any horizon created by the big bang. But that would also be the universe, so... it's very confusing?
      There is a phenomenon similar to rapid decompression I had a little idea about the early universe and how the expansion quickened so quickly; basically, the moment those subatomic particles (or goo or whatever) were unable to be within interactable distance, it caused an analogous rapid decompression. There's another name for it; it's when the pressure is so high it actually causes a decompressive action.
      Perhaps the reverse can be applied, where you get rapid compression... like a singularity :p
      For some reason I didn't save my sources or the scholarly reports I read about this action (which is near impossible to achieve in anything heavier than hydrogen, which MAKES SENSE TO ME IN THIS RESPECT).
      HOWEVER!
      when I thought of this idea, I found the idea of a stable, equilibrium universe completely absurd since it defies entropy and would imply it would equalize into a stable state rather than continuing into a further disordered state over time, which is most certainly not an equilibrium. Until it is, I guess.

      The cosmic event horizon is different for each observer, it’s a notional horizon. Entanglement of two particles both locally straddling our cosmic event horizon would certainly be unaffected.
      If a particle local to us is entangled with a distant particle on our horizon and they became further separated, I’m not as sure what would happen. My guess is nothing special since any two entangled particles don’t even know that each other exists. This situation is comparable to two entangled particles where one falls into a real event horizon as found around a black hole and one does not. This has no effect other than it would be impossible to later measure if the correlation persisted.

Entangled particles are merely governed by a common probability function that exists somewhere within the underlying machinery of the universe that decides how each particle should present itself if and when it is asked to present itself to an observer or a detector. Or so it seems. It’s called “quantum nonlocality”.

      The singularity is a point. There's no space between any bit of the singularity for dark energy to pull apart, so the singularity is safe. The event horizon shrinks, as it's defined as being the boundary past which the fastest thing i.e. light can no longer escape. But dark energy allows things to move away from the singularity faster than the speed of light so the event horizon would shrink to match, but it would never shrink down to the size of the singularity unless the dark energy expanded the universe at an infinite speed.

      A singularity / infinity is a mathematical artifact. Infinities do not exist in physical reality, they are just mathematical artifacts resulting from extrapolating a scientific model beyond its boundary of validity. A singularity is the "syntax error" of physical models. If you ever get a singularity, this means your model doesn't describe reality anymore. They are not real, Only people who errorneously mistake their model for being reality do believe they are.
      So the center of a black hole is not infinitesimal small, but it it is finite. Gravity expands at the speed of light. the moment the speed of the expansion of space overcomes the speed of light (nothing can move faster through space than c, but space can expand faster than c, as we know from the Guth inflation), gravity simply vanishes and thus the black hole disintegrates.

Does all of the information eternally falling towards the singularity inside the event horizon then get pulled from the singularity faster than its falling, keep falling with infinitely further to go, etc? Or is the space inside immune to this expansion? And how does the reversal of space and time within the black hole play in to this? Does time within the event horizon expand instead?

Both forces in this situation are accelerating at increasingly FTL speeds. Does all of the information eternally falling towards the singularity inside the event horizon then get pulled from the singularity faster than its falling, keep falling with infinitely further to go, etc? Or is the space inside immune to this expansion? And how does the reversal of space and time within the black hole play in to this? Does time within the event horizon expand instead? Ive gotta figure this out.... im gonna need a calculator, penrose diagram, redbull, Ricks portal gun, and the Ludwig Boltzmann boxset collection of Firefly

      Singularity is another name for unknown.
      If anything is smaller than 10^-37m our theories won't work anymore.

    Wait - it violates energy conditions that prohibit time travel?! Sounds better than an inevitable heath death to me...

      @Gifted Fool Well if you'd ever feel inclined to settle for Einsteins mcuh duller and slower distant cousin (that might not actually be related at all).
      Then I'd be happy to have what you just said explained to me, because it sounds freaking interesting.

      Imagine you're living 22 billion years in the future and as soon as Big Rip is approaching, Big Rip is allowing you to actually go back in time and live it all over again just like humans used to now, and maybe finding a method to prevent a big rip...

    Fun fact, the derivative of acceleration is called 'jerk,' so if the universe is accelerating we're ok... but if its jerking.... RIP

    What if that is the solution for where the big bang theory would be able to take place? The big RIP = the big bang

    This _completely_ explains why the earth is flat. It used to be round, but dark energy originated at the north pole. This caused the world to accelerate outwards, changing Antarctica from a continent to a vast 125,000 kilometer wall of ice surrounding the world. Also, the south pole has been stretched from a single point to a perpetually expanding omni-directional circle heading outwards in every possible direction.
    I suggest flat earthers everywhere move to antarctica. Past the _ginormously long_ icewall, in all directions, past the fake south pole, and utilize dark energy to grow into giants. Eventually you can become so big that you can defeat anything from pacific rim, and conquer the world.
    Alternatively, you could simply measure the Antarctica coastline. Using boats and equipment. I suppose this would be a simpler, faster, and far less costly way to prove how long it _really is._
    Have fun.
