Deep Time: Crash Course Astronomy #45
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 тра 2024
- As we approach the end of Crash Course Astronomy, it’s time now to acknowledge that our Universe’s days are numbered. Stars will die out after a few trillion years, protons will decay and matter will dissolve after a thousand trillion trillion trillion years, black holes will evaporate after 10^92 years, and then all will be dark. But there is still hope that a new Universe will be born from it.

You know you are dealing with incomprehensible time scales when someone states, "I am not going to worry about factors of ten".
I've always found it fascinating how we, creatures that currently live under a century on average, can look at theories about the eventual fate of the universe, time enough away to make the span of our entire species into a statistical blip, and feel existential dread and sorrow over drifting away from the rest of the universe, far past the likely end of all intelligent life that probably is and will be. We may be short-lived on such a scale, but our minds can feel out to the depths of eternity.
this is warming to read somehow
Beautifully written
We can’t even predict if it will rain tomorrow with accuracy. Just that fact alone should tell you that everything he just said is complete horseshit.
@@rocknrolladube what a troll comment.
Some systems are chaotic and others aren't. The weather tomorrow is hard to guess. The position of the stars in a millenia are not.
The deep time predictions fall into the latter gruop
@William Shreckengost: I love your comment. Hope you don't mind if I use it as a quote! With credits to you of course :)
I love how at this scale 10 trillion years is a "statistical fluctuation"
No several 10s of thousands of years are...
And after all those eons, the universe said, "let's have another one."
A new universe born from a cosmic typo.
Aalwaays look on the briiight side of life....*whistles*
on the bright side, even at a modest rate of interest, just imagine the value of your investments in 10^92 years
theaboutroundand that happened to fry in futurama except he didnt wait that long lol
just imagine the US debt
its like 10^10^90 according to Wolfram Alpha
Chances are the currency you used will completely deflate as it has been rendered worthless by the introduction of new currency printed by the Diddy Kong Dynasty after the 32 usurpation of the man kind by an alien nation.
Then a few billion alien take overs later all sentient life was extinguished by the natural decay of the universe and you finally arrive in the year 10^92 in your time machine to find the protons and neutrons that formed your bank have completely decayed and are impossible to reassemble.
Sad to say your plan needs tweaking.
Josias Alexis he was joking about the joke
"there's always hope"
what a wonderful way to end a video about the end of everything
Okay WhyNot actually, I've read that about that too. It's just slightly difficult to wrap our tiny humans brains around the idea of it. Or at least, it's kinda difficult for it
nothing ends, nothing begins. Even with a start point of 'big bang' or any other we can figure, this is not a true start, it is a change/transformation. Its all about changes and cycles, nothing stops existing and nothing comes into existing, its only transformed )as far as we can currently figure). However, then we are left with lots of answers without any real answers lol as we are then stuck with WHY does anything exist at all. I theorize this is why god/gods were invented and in a way they are correct (as in it might be correct to attribute existence to an unknowable force) but to make it more understandable/easier to relate (and other motives), this force/forces were personified and given various names (same as for the unknown elements that became gods etc).This invented an answer to 'why' that kept most people happy....for a while...then the understanding of 'how' grew with new world views and the question of 'WHY' seems even more perplexing lol. Achieved a lot without achieving anything, we still do not know why! haha let alone any way to know a true start point (assuming there is one). Almost like trying to find the corner of a circle :P
Everything that has a beginning has an end.
Missy West; I have had similar thoughts, there is only form and structure, it is the changing of form that gives the illusion of time. I don't really believe there is a beginning or end just infinite change.
+bananian Which means that an end has an end, considering that an end has a beginning and so on?
Mr.Phil, I just want to thank you for your passion of sharing your knowledge on the amazing universe that we live in. With this video I have watched the entire Astronomy course and must say that is has been a joy to be exploring the known and unknown with you these past few weeks. You have given me a desire to watch and study the night sky myself and to share that breath-taking experience with my friends and family. Thanks to you again, and everyone at crash course for this great series.
This makes me nostalgic for a simpler time when I would watch a documentary on the Heat Death of the Universe for my hit of bleak, morose existentialism, as opposed to now, when I just watch the News
illiterate thug , damn this comment age horribly huh :/
I absolutely and utterily adore his positivity and passion.
It's just really beautiful to see someone doing what they really love to do in their life.
Yeah I wish he would tone down the affect a little tho
This brings to mind Isaac Asimov's short story, "The Last Question," about an artifical intelligence that endures long after the heat death of the universe, continually collecting data until there is no more data and no one to report to, culminating in the last line of the story when it ultimately declares "LET THERE BE LIGHT," bringing about the rebirth of the universe. It's a beautiful and hopeful piece of science fiction.
+David Philip Norris
Excellent story, love it.
+David Philip Norris Damn, now you've ruined it for me.
Don't worry, the actual story is much better than my summary.
+David Philip Norris The whole of the story is still really awesome, even if you already know the ending.
Oh my gosh, I'm unaware of such a story and even after just reading 2 lines of your summary I was thinking...does this AI become GOD???
The repeating cycle of big bang is easier to take in, it gave me a sense of relief.
This makes me feel oddly. at peace with the universe. The eventual end of everything is comforting.
I wouldnt say "comforting" personally. Its another reason that life is just pointless struggle and pain.
This dude just explained scientific notation in 15 seconds better than all my middle school teachers put together
Here let me explain it even faster
10^x is a 1 with x 0's after it
10^42 is a 1 with 42 0's
It's not that hard to understand 😂😂😂
predacon95 shame on you for being ignorant. Ever consider that his teacher was just really bad at his/her job?

This makes me incredibly distressed. It's relatively easy to accept that my existence will end at some point, I can cope with the existence of humanity ending, but the perishing of existence itself - that's the line for me. It just makes humans seem so meaningless.
+Nick Nirus We are meaningless. Humans can do amazing things, we build, develop and learn all kinds of things, but in the end it doesn't really matter. I do understand that this is kinda harsh and hopeless, but we as a species are part of life. Even life itself might be useless in the end, but that doesn't make it less mind-blowingly wonderful. We exist and we get to be part of something bigger. Isn't that all we could ever hope for?
if you really believe that then you might be as naive as the scientist themselves... they cant even explain how the big bang occurred, how are they going to explain the end of the universe?
+Nick Nirus I don't think of it as existence being purged. More like, no more changes. Whatever is left in the dark era - really basic particles - will still be there.
+Rook Benavides Logical inferences. That's not to say that they're actually right, though you speak of them as if they're shooting in the dark with ear plugs and blind folds on.
Annemay Schaap That is really harsh, but you're right. It's probably this meaninglessness that makes me so sad.
thank you for teaching me about space and time without making me depressed at the end. Not very many people can do that. Subscribed.
If we survive until the heat death of the universe, we’ll be so technologically advanced that we’ll probably just create a new universe. With black jack and hookers.

First positive take on Vaccuum Decay that I’ve heard.
Yeah, he forgot to mention that Vacuum Decay can occur even in our own time.
I feel that us talking about the end of the universe suggests the end of Crash Course Astronomy in the near future :'(
Oh well, time to make way for Crash Course Physics!

Good. Now you can start creating your own values.
This all just made me think:
“That is not dead which can forever lie, and with strange aeons, even death may die.”
"so low energy, it might as well not exist." talking bout me??

@Paul Babcock that's what they're saying...
Lately I've been watching these videos when I get bored but this just scares me but also makes me relieved that they're might be hope for a new universe.
"The Big RIP" will literally be the big rip.
EasyOrangeGaming Yup.
Hey there, I've watched huge portions of your courses and the World History and Astronomy are my favorites by far. Just wanted to say I think what you guys are doing is revolutionary, and I'm really glad PBS picked you up. You and Mr Green both remind me of the few good teachers had over the years - the ones who inspired. Keep up the amazing work; you are reaching an audience the size of which is unreal and making learning fun again.
Has anyone here heard about the theory that the universe is just one giant computer simulation? The end of the universe may come when it's forced to update to Windows 10.
lol
Haha!
Assuming intelligent civilization has the capacity to live far into the future with technology continuing to progress, AND has a willingness to create an "ancestor simulation", it is statistically more likely that we live in a simulation, than live in reality.
Nickolas Brown your argument is flawed. At present day, we have the power to run a relatively small scale simulation such as the one supported in the theory, just with lesser variables. What's to say the people in those simulation don't have "feelings" either? Maybe we ourselves are part of a sim created by a higher level society. Saying it is statistically improbable is redundant because if it is true, then what "statistically improbable" means is futile to define.
Technically I think that would be just a regular upgrade, so no information lost.
I like how you find hope in the darkest time ever... You are so positive sir
"I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea. Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me."
I don't understand why people internalize the end of the universe. I've seen people do it and get very depressed. We will be long dead before then, and what's more, most likely something else will happen. We will learn new rules we didn't understand, or something about the universe may change merely by process of time and observation.
We simply don't know, and none of us will ever see it.
+Neceros The reason people freak out is bc nihilism
+Neceros I internalize it every time it comes up, which in my case is really often, since I love astronomy and learning about it a lot. I don't really know why I'm doing it, since it is really the most depressing thing imaginable. It may or may not have changed me as a person, actually.
+Nick Nirus You don't find the fact your life will be ending within this century more depressing? Compared to you, the universe gets it pretty good I'd say.
rezza6 Hey, that's not necessarily true. I may live to see cybernetic organs and even human-to-machine transplantation, but that's not the point. I might get to do something meaningful in my lifespan, but ultimately the greatest of deeds will be lost to time. I guess that's what makes me so sad.
+Neceros
Unlike everyone else (and this could be due to my lack of knowledge in the subject) have a hope that there is some why that we don't know about yet to escape the death of the universe. Maybe we can find a new home.. maybe we can make a new home.. maybe we can break the rules and keep our atoms from decaying..
We don't know yet..
Death, to me, is pointless. And I can not accept death.. I can not accept pointlessness. Everyone else has already accepted it though.. which is kind of sad to me.. so "life itself" as it is now, is my trigger.
Phil, Thank you so much, I read this book in 2000 and lost my copy, I have been struggling to recall the title for many many years. cannot express my gratitude enough. one of the most elegant and rewarding books of its type.
I love the recap part. Maybe the only show on UA-cam to recap the important points in the end. Thanks
Love your videos man. Please keep them coming!
well by the time any of this happens, humans will be gone.
It seems so bleak in the "future" but if I think about it, as a human, it is difficult to even comprehend infinity itself because I have a finite lifespan. The universe restarting over and over in a cycle sounds plausible and if the laws of physics get rewritten, who knows what will happen?
+Anh Le No, the universe restarting over and over in a cycle sounds like religion. Where from fear of ending people create scenarios filled with hope.
+Anh Le Well we could either be gone, or we could have further evolved into something else, and grown our civilization to the point of which we have empire across galaxies.
+MrZvastica You could either call it that, or something more like a weird science fiction setting. Which are a bit more fun to think about imo.
+MrZvastica well, it might. some other universe might bump into ours or something. black holes are still a mystery and other warping effects. infinity is a long time. lots of time for unknown possibilities to have a chance. but does it really even matter? once stars all go out, certainly when brown dwarfs go out, were toast.
+MrZvastica religion is dumb but universe that only happens once sounds ridiculous.
dark times ahead, folks
Good news everybody!
You won't notice any of it, you'll be dead.
Just light a candle. Problem solved.
Quite far ahead, fortunately.
Kenneth Mitchell I did not have to do this app for my kids to play with my friends on my way and out and the game other day I was going
Don’t worry, we’ll all be dead by the time it happens.
Great job in making me understand such profound ideas in such a simple manner.
It's always nice to hear a human warp up a talk about deep time with a positive message. Keep going guys we're all in this together!

Science never, I repeat, NEVER, fails to amaze me. Mind=Blown
man, you are one of the best explainers ever!
mind melting. Soul crushing.
So.... if space is expanding like you said in a previous episode, can time be expanding in that same exact way? We just perceive it as time passing?
You just blew my mind
+Yomammasaurus Rex You can't exactly call it expanding because time is relative. Time is not going at the same rate for one observer compared to another observer in a different frame of reference. So you really can't make a comparison on how time is "expanding" for all observers in the universe.
When two observers are moving relative to each other, they are in different frames of reference. And all of the universe is moving relative to something.
+David Kim But isn't the expansion of space also relative? Depending on how far you are from something else, space is expanding faster or slower, much like how time moves faster or slower depending on how fast something it moving relative to you.
Nonetheless, it is pretty obvious our universe simply resides in the event horizon of some 4-dimensional black hole
+Yomammasaurus Rex Time is only experienced if you have mass. A photon being massless is literally frozen in time and from it's point of view its life last 0s. So by the dark era, when there is only light left, time is a meaningless concept as there is nothing to experience it.
+Yomammasaurus Rex No, because Time isn't actually a real thing. "time" as we call it is an expression of our perception of change. When we talk about time, what we are really talking about is the changes in the universe around us that have occurred.
There is no words to express how much i like this channel!!!

I believe Carl Sagan said that Hinduism is the closest a major religion gets to modern cosmology due to the time scale of a Brahma day (that is, one day from the creator deity's pov) being equal to the projected time scale of the universe's existence. Hindus believe in cyclical time, meaning that the universe is constantly being destroyed and recreated, which seems to fall in line with the theory posited at the end of this video about a universal reboot. Interesting stuff.
John Baterino and this is your concept (:
Religion succs.
John Baterino lmao, you see what you did here right?
Omg ... Please do not bring blind religion in here.
I am a Hindu and I believe what God and Vedas say and the concept is true according to carl sagan but not according to Vedas. Nobody knows what is in the Vedas. We can also reveal the grandest mysteries of Jupiter, or say for example whether the aliens exist or not or lot of other hard astronomical questions, but none, none in the universe can say what is in the Vedas. I request you to not to believe such kind of things. I too believed in such things. My mom said to stop to believe such things because of they may be fake. But when I came to know about the real astronomy, I immediately stopped believing what the fake stuff all are talking about. Of course, one Brahma day is equal to the life cycle of our universe. But other things like the avatar (incarnation, or rebirth of the same soul) of Kalki will take place at the end of Kali-yuga. They may be true, but it is said that Kalki will be born to Vishnuyasha and sumati which are all fake because nobody knows who, to which they should be born, which is fake.
Great series!
Isaac Arthur has an excellent science and futurism channel in which discusses deep time and black hole farming in addition to Fermi paradox and dyson dilemma solutions. The guy is a genius.
Then we find out our universe is just a particle in a giant megaverse

“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.”

Thank you. Very enlightening!
8:24 love your pronunciation of quantum mechanics
Funny thing about exponentials is, let's say after 10^90 years, if you wonder about the living beings of that time that could be living by harvesting energy from black holes and think that they're living so close to the death of the Universe, if the super massive black holes are really going to run till 10^92 years, leading to the impossibility of life by the lack of energy, that means the Universe is still 1/100 of the way there. It's like saying a 1 year old baby is so close to his estimated death of about 100 years. Just to show how absurdly big that number is.

"Protons eventually decay" - This is the first source I've come across that seems to be confident of that hypothesis. Are we sure about this?
No, that's just what current thinking is right now. It could very well change completely within the next hundred years, even next year, or tomorrow.
If protons do not decay, the universe will just keep matter strewn about at impossibly long distances for them to ever encounter other matter. We really don't know yet.
It's real according to physics..Every element has a half life...Just Google it..
I love these videos !!!
Very enjoyable episode.
