28:46 Why Are We Here?
Hope you are enjoying the first second of existence (bit of a tangent this video, but an important part of the puzzle!) Next month let's find out what happened after particles gained mass. Spoiler: nothing not weird.
i love your channel, please never stop!
For the last 199,900 years constants of nature did not exist in the minds of us homosapians. Did the constants exist then? A million year explosion is occurring in the Orion nebula. Is that fine tuning?
Another excellent, exciting and challenging video presentation. Thank you.
13:26 max planck? nah max plonk
Enjoying in an understatement, I'm learning. Thank you for imparting your hard earned knowledge. It really improves the way I look at my life.
There is no evidence for fine tuning in the sense that is used by scientists, why does the universe seem perfect for the evolution of life as we know it?
Because life as we know it what could evolve in these conditions, it doesn't need to be anything more than a consequence of the conditions, notice I didn't say inevitable consequence just a consequence
The simplest answer is that the universe is perfect from our point of view because we were created by it and are governed by its laws, so it couldn't be any other way.
Yeah like what is perfect. I argue nothing is it just is what it is. If it created life then great but if it didn’t then we wouldn’t be able to ask this question at all and does that mean it still wasn’t perfect? Maybe not
Also universe created the notion of some imperfections so that we could call it perfect? Where did the concept of perfection came from?
You are talking about observable insanely complex domino effect, this seems to be precodnitioned
Kind of like a puddle marveling at the perfect indentation that cradles it? Are we really as fluid as puddles? Didn't they make the opposite point in this vid?
The intelligent design argument is ridiculous, its not finetuned for life at all. Why create matter that expands into heat death with molecules forming conscious beings that struggle on the crusts of globes of other matter.
"Planck, had unknowingly, invented quantum mechanics" I hate when that happens, so relatable
A small token of my appreciation… one of my favorite channels, fascinating topics and clear, well researched explanations. Thanks! Andrea
@Christopher Huxley cuz why not?
@Christopher Huxley Nobody knows, it's one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics
@@Daniel-sm5vy i read that while he said that, just so you know your comment had perfect timing
@Christopher Huxley why don't you donate $50.01? Seriously.
@Christopher Huxley because he knew you were going to put your 2 cents in.
I think we can say with great confidence that the creation of consciousness in this universe is the greatest phenomenon ever seen. Out of all the ways this universe fascinates us, the reality that self-awareness was created from some combination of unconscious matter is more mind-blowing than anything else
I'm gonna go crazy just thinking about all these things without any answers. Why so sudden? Is there really no explanations? I'm not surprised religion exists because everyone would go nuts if they constantly thought about it.
Wow, I screen shot this, it’s so touchingly written. If you mind I delete but I just couldn’t help it, it has a very exciting touch to it. =)
Unless matter is conscious.
@@whannabi or maybe it was some supreme being u can call it God as name given by humans and maybe humans just don't want that answer especially the scientists
Even going by religion not abrahamic which only date back to few thousands of years but hinduism which dates back to time when humans came first the universe age is 311 trillion years and after every 311 trillion years new multiverses are created by the ultimate creator which u all call God
@@silksonic3927 mate the universe ain't even 1 trillion years old
The quality of (some) UA-cam videos has far surpassed the old fashined medias like television. It's amazing what level of quality and insight we can stumble upon while surfing YT, and thanks to the algoritm of recommendations, I was fortunate enough to find this utter gem.
yes I know a list of best channels on YT but they are mostly under 1m subscribers, wish yt will make sth like Netflix so we can pay to watch high quality videos or short documentary like this one in order to increase income to those channels, now its kinda free with a little of advertisement but I dont think income from youtube ads can help them invest on their big projects.
@@vhawk1951kl No, it was made for the internet.
Also you realize that tv(classic cable type) is dying right? With less than half the population even having it(not even mentioning watching it), and that percentage is only decreasing with time(as the older demographics which hold a higher percentage of cable slowly die out). The internet will not die(at least not anytime soon), it will take over from the tv as the telephone did for the telegraph and email did for mailing letters.
The only way the internet would be destroyed is if civilization itself completely collapsed(in which case the internet is not that big of a priority as food and shelter). While if the internet died, then modern civilization would follow it to the grave(with everything today being networked(which is objectively better in every single way)).
PS, you really shouldnt use the Tower of Babel(i prefer tower of bullshit but to each his own) comparison as it doesnt really work at all(neither does lot and his city(salt of the religious as their “arguments” shatter under the great weight of logic and his brother, consistency)), actually a better religious comparison would be the cleansing of the temple(from the internet’s perspective) or judas(from cable tv’s perspective)
Then the comments be like...
@@vhawk1951kl Says the man subscribed to a huge number of YT channels on the er...so called internet. Pathetic, hypocritical creature indeed.

Documentaries on the Universe (heck, even the solar system) make me feel both totally irrelevant and totally unique and priceless at the same time
I’m loving having found this you tube channel. It is wondrous. It fills me even fuller of wonder than I could even imagine.
Just brilliant as always. Calm clear diction, no distracting music. Incredible info expressed beautifully. ❤❤❤
The simulation hypothesis has the same problem that the panspermia hypothesis does: it kicks the problem farther down the road without actually answering it. Whoever's running the simulation has to live in a universe that has constants compatible with life, so the question remains of how those conditions arose - just one level higher. I'm not saying the hypothesis is necessarily wrong, but it absolutely doesn't answer the question.
Editing to simplify/clarify my position: given that we are in a simulation, two questions that arise are "what conditions allow the simulation to be run?" and "how did those conditions arise?" *These are exactly the same questions the simulation hypothesis purports to answer about our own universe,* and the hypothesis is meaningless if those questions can't be addressed.
Another edit: if, as has been suggested several times in this thread, the intelligence running the simulation isn't subject to the same natural laws that we are, does that not inherently contradict the assertation that a "fine-tuned" universe is actually necessary in the first place?
Not necessarily. We are limited in our imagination that this is needed. In any case. Each simulation needs rules and a start condition. Since the simulation also simulates time, the simulation calculation of the next nanosecond in our 'universe' can take 42 million years of our simulated time on the outside since there is a different outside 'time' but for us it seems to be one Nanosecond that has passed as this is the simulated time. That all on the quantum level is probability and works just fine unless we observe it at the micro level, there is no need to compute each elementar particle. Everything in the simulation is only as complicated as it is observed. The galaxies are only a few of points when you look at it. The simulation has only to calculate more whenever an observer looks at a small part through tools. Only that small part needs to be calculated. Like in a video game. Only what the observer looks at is finely granulated. Whatever happens in the 'world's' outside is more abstract and much easier and quicker to compute. Entanglement could be to compared to multiple pointers to one memory location. A bug? Dark matter and dark energy seems like wrong starting parameters.
theoretically there could be only a few observers be present and the rest are simulations. Like scientific results can be presented to the observer as papers without the experiments, proofs, failures. When I am at 30m distance to a tree, the image I see is rough, only when I stand directly in front of the tree, what is in my limited visual field needs to be calculated in a fine granulation. the backside, the crown are farther and don't need to be 'shown' that precise down to the subatomic level. That saves a lot of calculations.
@@gunterstrubinsky9452 Mic Drop!
@@Flyingmsdaisy not at all, what he wrote wasn't clever at all. Danny is correct that the problem is just pushed further back.
Doesn’t mean it can’t be true though
I am so impressed how you perfectly combined a relaxing, and low, background music with such a fantastic narrative.
So many science documentaries that are terrible mixed and are anything but a relaxing lecture. This is not the case.
Its amazing how you control the aspects of the narrative, the pauses, the emphasis, the mistery and the logic with a precise description.
Your voice sounds from heaven. Thanks for your fanatstic job.
..sorry bro, I nodded off while composing my appreciative reply!! You were sayin...?!😋
Sort of like the difference between a good professor and a great professor, I seem to remember the great story teller's and the ability to keep me in the moment
Hop off his ding-dong please.
Why oh why must people *gush* their enthusiasm.
yup, the production quality is top notch.
Yeah but hes full of crap and always tries to sneak in a big lie. Like "this women was the one who invented it all" false stuff like that.
Extraordinary, excellent. The best documentaries about the Universe I have seen in many, many years. Congratulations.
Perfectly tuned for randomness.
The ability to see an event in mathematical terms is something I have always envied.
This video has a lot for my old fossilized brain to absorb. I am familiar with some of the concepts but not with all. Thank you.
Yeh. I wish I could understand the language of maths, especially as it relates to astronomy and astrophysics.
@@buttercxpdraws8101 just need someone patient enough to teach you right. That's the hardest part, the rest seems trivial next to it.
@@buttercxpdraws8101 Actually I can recommend you a book on this, where mathematics is explained as an art and how it translates the Universe as a virtual language;
Measurement by Paul Lockhart.
the braiin is nt the mind nor a comuter thats masonic naturalism
Everything is math first. An explanation to a question is answered through math. In all parts of the world. Universal language is math.
I enjoyed every second of this wow. These are the things I think about almost daily but never put the research into and you’ve just done it all so perfectly!
Yes
Ironically perfect
Kelvin what If I think I’m bad at math? In other words I need a good math teacher.
Ditto. I always knew I was differently wired than the other children in school while I was growing up. I found myself unchallenged and frankly bored in class, as everything was just repetitive and not enough to stimulate my mind. It wasn't until I was in high school and my teachers had all told me that I was unique and highly intelligent, that I truly understood the exponential levels beyond the other students, that my mind was capable of reaching. I would essentially daydream the majority of time about the universe and how the world around me worked. I was able to visualize things that others wouldn't even begin to be capable of comprehending, all in my mind, without having seen an example of what a black hole would look like or how particles and cells intertwine together to make everything in the observable universe. Later in highschool I had a very well versed teacher who taught science class. Chemistry to be exact. But he told me that what I was visualizing is not unlike what Einstein saw in his mind, what he referred to as "thought experiments". So this teacher of mine told me to get my IQ tested. I did and when I did they decided to test me again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. They said my IQ was in the 160 range. This was a huge ah ha moment for me as I always knew I wasn't normal. I was also later diagnosed with Asperger's, which connected even more dots for me, figuratively speaking of course. I suppose I got a bit off track there and forgot where I was going with that for a moment. The bottom line is that it takes a unique type of mind to be able to think about our spatial surroundings and to be able to comprehend nature in a micro and macro scale or quantum visualization of cells and to be able to see a massive object like a the planets. And now in this modern time of scientific breakthrough and discoveries it's so validating to know that I am seeing the world the way it truly is.
@@jessehanson6120 Not reading all that i'm sorry or good for u 💕
I just found this site the other day and I'm loving it. Sharing with everyone.
How did you just now found out about UA-cam? … Oh, you mean this channel?
😆
I love your narrative voice. You do a wonderful job
I love to watch your videos. I watch them late at night when all is quiet and I can immerse myself in the visuals and sound. They fire up my imagination spectacularly and I then can then drift to sleep with ease. Thank you for the work you put into these. I much appreciate them!
👽
I do not know how these emojis work - but your note is clearly expressed and so inspiring.
Fare thee well.
In my universe the constants of nature produce quite good wine. Thank you, great tuner in the sky.
And other fine spirits...
a miracle isn't it?
This is an interesting, thought provoking channel with well presented content. I just want to leave some of my thoughts.
I think when we talk about why we are here, or how significant we are, or whether the universe is perfect or not, we enter philosophical territory, these are questions that can be looked at in many ways, they are something that can be informed by the current science, but not ultimately decided by it. It is also important to remember that reductionism is not our only option, and that each view has its own problems and merits.
I personally think that the most significant things in the universe are some of the smallest, individual people we care about, life, things we enjoy doing, our feelings and the feelings of others, our power to think for ourselves and attempt solve the problems that matter to us, causes we believe in, notions such as love, empathy, fairness, justice, etc. These may also play a part answering the why are we here question for ourselves. I think the Earth is special because it is our only home, and a cradle of life. It does not need to be big or exceptional from a scientific standpoint to be important for us.
We do not all need to agree on the same interpretations of observations all of the time, sometimes it is good to agree to disagree from a place of sincere respect. As the video mentions, some people believe in god, others think we are in a simulation. Some have no opinion at all/don't care to. All of these are fine. There are some people of faith in my life that are so kind and good in their actions, that it makes me think if I were to believe, it would be because of their example.
Anyway thanks for reading, hope today's a good day for you.
it's up to us to determine how and why we are here after all even if we're wrong it's the truth to us, we hold theories about quantum science as fact due to math but math is also something we came up with perhaps it means nothing even when able to prove phenomenon and what we believe to be the secrets of the universe
Hmm. I think your thoughts attempt to bring together people of varying beliefs out of respect for the person which is a good standard to live by but notably a standard which can only come from God for without God the standard is simply a preference in how to live and others may logically prefer something different- Hitler certainly did. So I think while it is important to have respect for others in a live and let live fashion we should never sacrifice the search for truth using reason bolstered with science and philosophy and the application of the truth as we understand it. Peace
I think, like the Universe we live in, that episode was practically perfect! 😉
Maybe it's because of the length of some of these shows that I was slow to check them out, but MAN I am glad I did!
Great channel & content! 👍
How are we even here in the first place is the most simple but unimaginable question to answer
i almost always fall asleep listening to this, it's just so smooth listening to these videos. I try to stay awake to actually take it in, but it just happens. Great video as always, can't wait for the next one!
Also just wanted to say I've recently begun my degree in physics with astrophysics.
i recommend that chapter or any other true crime channels, they are my second option to fall asleep too

What trips me up is the Universe looks similar a brain. Super sized black holes at the center of each galaxy could be how information gets passed as a collective to the whole
@@OverRule1 I've considered that there may be a set of physics that pertains to the sub-quantum scale of the universe, and another that pertains to the super-filamental. And we cannot discern either because we exist in our layer between the two.
So yeah, like black holes throughout the observable universe interact as the fundamental particles of a larger universe.
I find that the greatest force driving me to continue living and exploring is the curiosity to understand more of this magnificent universe. And, to be honest I wouldn’t want to be immortal only and only if I could know more of this mystery.
immortality would prohibit you to experience death, and what comes after it - which is even more interesting than life itself to me
@@FordSierraIS - and which has no proof of existing
@@jaxmc1912 how to find proof of the death
@@sunilkumaryadav2183 "how to find proof of the death" you mean proof that death exists? well, according to science, memories and experiences ate stored and processed in the brain, so once the body stops functioning correctly and giving oxygen to the brain, braincells die and at some point, which we call neurological death, the damage is irreversible and your self is gone forever. i would go as far as to say that if all your memories and experiences were deleted from your brain its the same as if you died and a new person was born (although in this case the "new person" has the same genetics and is born already your age)
Islam answered what you are looking for for me
It’s amazing how I’ve loosely tossed around this idea in my head for years and then a video like this perfectly sums up what I could not verbalize myself. Thank you all very much
Now you're going to start to see it everywhere thanks to the bader meinhoff phenomenon
It’s crazy how you can entertain ideas on your head but not really be able to put it all together. I’m glad these UA-cam makes do it because I know it isn’t easy
Poppa Tang, please read my comments included...it may surprise you my Friend.
Also, a book called, The Phoenix Fire Mystery by Silvia Cranston; all the great minds mentioned here in this video, are bearing their Souls with quotations from each one and other famous philosophers who now believe in God...
i also had this idea roughly when i was studying biochemistry in college. a few years later i found out about the cosmic fine-tuning question on the internet. i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people around the world in the past 50-100 years have come to some part of this conclusion on their own and many eventually stumble upon the evidence for fine-tuning online now
You are so underrated. I follow so many science channels but never came across your channel. Well detailed, clean and perfect narration
Anton Petrov is also great
And SEA. And Cool Worlds. And Astrum.
This channel speaks to me as if we're on the same page.
Like we all know about quarks, electrons, blackholes, cbr and quantum entanglement...We've all heard of these theories and equations, now let's talk about them more.
I appreciate this type of science on a spiritual level.
The matrix idea still requires a creator, plus the laws of physics for the programmer will be different thus it goes to say that a computer may not be necessary to create universes and computers may not even be possible in such a world, thus that is the definition of a God.
I think it’s cool to think that we (intelligent life) are the universe’s attempt to experience itself. The universe arranged itself in such a way to create beings that could sense and interact with its surroundings and even ponder itself and it’s purpose.
We are the very thing that we have toiled for generations to understand.
Maybe the constants can be taken as proof of us living in a simulation clearly the values of constants had to have been chosen selectively by some intelligence for the universe we know to exist perhaps which is why the concept of god is so prevalent in our culture and we get to be the neo of this story and uncover the juicy secrets of this universe, perhaps its is time that we as humanity forget our differences and focus our energy on the research and discovery of the world we live in and embark on journey of adventure and discovery through space time as one big family
Ps I know thinking like this is way beyond optimistic but its oddly humbling to type such comments 😊
VERY TRUE
Damn this comment hit me
So the univers created itself then created us to experience itself? That's not cool to think, that's not even rational at all.
@@NaKh96 lmao you're thinking about it wrong. We are made up of material from the universe, being conscious to observe the thing we are made up of is what they are saying

Great video!!! Thank you so much 😍
Very Cool! Thank You for Sharing!
This is some fire content, I remember why I love physics so much, reality is some much cooler than fiction could ever do justice
You have me on a whole new concept of thinking. That reality is far more infinitely interesting than fiction. In a way, our imaginations are essentially infinite, yet the more we look at reality, it's as vast if not more. Thank you, I will be thinking on this for a long time!
what if space is absense of light. so light is your entire life that's chopped into billions of pieces. it's fed directly into your eyes using Fibonacci (golden ratio) code to produce a countdown to death, which creates space in between the light. and when the countdown gets to death, you open your eyes to new life, so you're stuck inside a virtual reality infinite loop almost like you have a oculus headset on that's feeding light into your eyes that creates time that creates age that creates death that creates life in an infinite loop forever and forever in physical world, so you need to open your mind's eye and go inwards to go onwards. maybe.

They most likely reason why the physics is just right for us to exist is because several universes most likely kept colliding and achieving stable states in a recurring manner and once a stable series of computational constants where in place it kept recurring even faster to more stable complex forms that are conscious as well.This would be an evitable equilibrium achieved by any progress in to a more complicated state.
But in the theory of the multiverse, all the universes that are generated are independent of one another and would never collide or interact. There is no way for us to detect the existence of other universes. That’s why in this documentary he said the multiverse theory isn’t really a theory since there’s no evidence to back it up.
@@raularnela3654 Yes and fine tuning would still be needed for these universes to exist.
Entropy makes that impossible
We are just the universe perceiving itself, and I think that’s beautiful.
Such a romantic lol 😉
We are each a PART of the universe observing a PART of the universe. Major difference. Not that the entire universe can’t observe itself, but we are not the entire universe.
This is a beautiful way of putting forth one of the many ways our universe is utterly perplexing!
who created the universe?
My favorite from this channel is the one about why time went forward but every video is a classic in my opinion
Another masterpiece - thanks a million.
Isn't it crazy that we ARE this stuff that boggles our minds? That at some point, every fundamental "thing" your made of was once part of the very beginning of the universe. WE ARE THE UNIVERSE
Exactly, and if that is the case it's not hard to figure out what life is? The meaning of life is experience. All we are is the universe trying to experience itself. By universe I also mean God. What was the point of having this magnificent universe if it couldn't experience anything. So that is where the experience of life comes from. And that also makes us part God or God is in us all. And that also makes us all one. Now if only more people would realize this, I think its a number of only 1%. All it takes is 1% of all the people in the world to realize and believe this to upgrade our concuousness to the next level. Whether this is true or not I have no clue, something I learned and I'm absolutely fascinated by it.
@@bartf656 I came to the exact same solution on my own from doing psychedelics...
we are "from" the universe
@@bartf656 Why would you say "universe" but actually mean "god" ? Those two are two different words with 2 very different definitions. We should start to pay a little bit attention to the language we all agreed on. And also, if the -point- of the universe is to experience itself then it is failing miserably. Maybe somewhere far away there are beings that are much better than us but we suck huge ass and we are SOOOOOO vastly stupid which is why we will NEVER explore anything in the universe. So if we are alone, OR if there are other stupid beings like us, the universe is failing to experience itself.
@@bartf656 lol you're not serious are you? Evolution.

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

Another mind blowing documentary. Wow. Thank you for taking the time to create these incredible educational videos and for making them so very interesting and engaging. I wish learning in school was this fun. It seems that the more science matures the more scientist have to go back and re-examine their core ideas. That scientific maturity leads to greater understanding of the complexity of everything here on earth (and in the universe), creates more questions then answers and to understanding there exists more order then once thought. I vote for God. As hard as the belief in Him is, it is harder, for me, to believe all of this Galactic Order, not to mention organic life on Earth, happened by some perfect accident. Time will tell the truth.
'Some perfect accident'? Maybe you NEED religion Nathan. If you think billions, of years, millions of suns, and perhaps only a few thousand worlds like this one in our tiny sector off the universe = then realize that in nature things happen (or don't happen) because there is never any choice, then you will be as excited as I am about the certainty of complex life throughout the universe. We may never learn about it but it doesn't need a god to make it wonderful. People can be wonderful as well. We are taking our time to learn how to behave, but I would bet my pension you can rely on your own moral intelligence to cope with a god to guide you. Am I wrong?
You state your ideas as facts. I expressed a personal idea. Ideas do not need citations but "facts" do. Therefore citations please sir.@@thecatsman
Philosopher here. Simulation theory isn't loved by me. It clearly just pushes the question of complexity back into another universe. Why is the simulator's universe so hospitable to life?
Because a simulators universe is the most perfect universe to provide these simulations.
@@martinreynolds5905 Okay. But why use their perfect universe to explain our perfect universe? Occam's razor would suggest using only one such universe rather than two in order to explain complexity.
@@jasonkinzie8835 Fully agreed, glad you brough that up. It appears to be a form of circular reasoning. The same questions we ask about our universe will still apply to the "original" universe. This hypothesis belongs to the realm of ideas. Same with the multiverses, it is an idea meant to suit the fine-tuning of our universe, but we cannot observe anything outside of our universe and cannot explain the Big Bang so, all for naught. By this logic, by their logic, God is just as plausible an idea, and if anything, God IS the simplest explanation.
But that is just changing one god for another. now is a programer
Well, even though the universe where we currently reside in seems so large it isn’t endless. It had a start, it probably will end, its space probably also has a boundary (Although those are theories/ assumptions). but if we take the assumption that this universe is not entirely infinite in time and space, why shouldn’t there be a second one? Or a third? Or infinite other universes? What would be a plausible argument for that there is only one universe that started some time ago, created some space, and then vanishes into nothingness again? The only argument I ever hear is that we can only observe this universe. But is that a good argument? I cannot observe you directly, still I know (I’m assuming) that you’re existing bc you wrote a comment. I can not see other people’s thoughts or even my own but I still assume that they exist.
I mean I get why some people might feel uncomfortable with this idea of “infinity” actually existing. It would mean that everything every bullshit you could imaging would exist in some random universe. It would mean there would be places with 5, 6 or even infinite dimensions. It would mean that there would be places where creatures like a Christian god exist. It would mean that there would be universes that would be just simulations in other universes. Anything would and could exist at some point in some time (or probably there would be universes with entirely different concepts then space and time, universes we couldn’t even imagine). It’s hard to wrap your head around this idea but I find it much more convincing then all the other proposals (one universe with or without god, a simulated universe inside another one)
Interesting question, kind of like asking why a puddle of water is the shape that it is - I'd say its because that's how it best fits in the hole it's been given to fill
Looked it up, turns out that's a Douglas Adams analogy too! I knew I'd heard it somewhere before
So you stole it
Why does water act the way it does? Why does it even exist? Just what the hell is energy?
What the hell is this 3 dimensional space/time bubble? Why did it even begin? Where does it sit? How big and how deep does reality really go?
Wouldn't it be easier to have absolutely nothing? Why something at all?
We should have never even existed yet for some reason, we do.. why?
And no, not simple answers like "cause we do", or "cause quantum fluctuations" because both of those aren't what's being asked.
Quantum fluctuations? Why? Just how the hell did that appear and again, why something instead of nothing?
My brain gets scrambled when I think about all of this not even existing, that would mean absolutely nothing exists to the point where nothing doesn't even exist.
But this does, so there is a MUCH bigger system at play here that goes far far beyond our level of comprehension.
We won't know why existence exists.
Like trying to comprehend colors we can't see, a lady with an additional cone cell says she sees plurple, you'll never be able to imagine it until you actually see it.
Our comprehension is limited to what we can experience. If we can't experience a different reality than this one, we can never truly comprehend just how insane existence is
Nor could we ever, our bodies being built by the laws in this bubble, we can't leave

I'm joking of course. Great video!
Everything in the world is perfect. Look at around, the flowers, your floor tiles, your body, and everything around is just RIGHT for it to just be. So why is it so hard to believe that what created us has to be different and can’t be perfect to hold us together. If it weren’t perfect, then we would burn or maybe freeze. So the real question should be, why do so many people fandom to believe that the world is just perfect??
They don't want to believe someone is above them and more powerful, they are followers of evil, forcing the masses to believe in their own beliefs, corrupting people and making stuff up.
If the Universe was perfect, I wouldn't have crippling depression and borderline alcoholism.
Beautifully written, great graphics and most of all thought behind it all...

Since I was 10 y.o. (1958) , I would tell people to stop complaining, do you know how lucky you are to be alive and on a planet such as earth. What a gift. This is how I've lived my life!
Perspective… not everyone got so lucky, children beaten and raped daily by their own families etc
As I write this millions if not billions of poor souls suffer horrifically
Absolutely everything in life is personal perspective
For myself I don’t think we are lucky, I lean towards Mr Hawking’s views that we are chemical scum and nothing more

You answered half of all my questions.😊
Quite simply put, energy cannot be destroyed it only change forms and it's always balancing itself.
An Anthropic principle of some kind is a valid argument. If we assume that the universe at an atomic level has no fixed form and is just potential energy, probability and time, with no solid reality, it's possible we could be "seeing" back in time through our instruments and eyes a version of a universe that should exist if we were to exist. We are manifesting our past universe out of an infinite possible number of potential universes. A Feedback loop of mutual creation with no beginning in time other than local time. This is a real hypothesis.
Science is not about assumptions.
@@Idazmi7 Black Holes were only proven conclusively the past 5 years. Stephen Hawking's entire Hawking Radiation theory was based on assuming black holes exist. And many times he admitted he was wrong on aspects of black holes and made bets with other scientists he lost.
@@Idazmi7 Dark Matter is not remotely proven yet. Many scientists base their theoretical work assuming it's real. And calculate it in their theories.
@@Idazmi7 String Theory is literally based on assumptions derived from equations. None of it proven yet in experiments.
@@Idazmi7 Super Symmetry was assumed to be correct and the basis of all particle physics. But it has yet to be detected by the Large Hadron Collider and it's a major problem.
Good lord these videos always bring out the crazies
Love your channel.
Wow. This channel deserves way more subscribers. Sublime content :)
This video really comforts me. It let's me consider my daily life problems insignificant for a moment ❤️🦆💜
Maybe this is insignificant. Maybe are daily lives are the most significant thing in the entire universe. from the point of if there's no one to see the universe and appreciate it's glory. Then what's the point?
The voice is mesmerizing... The information is compact n fulfilling
Excellent video
we give meaning, that's why we think it's perfect. but it's neither perfect or imperfect. it is just is.
It perfectly just is
This. Reasoning is an instict/skill created by humans/evolution to survive.
Loved the topic. You should follow up with a video of the problems with navigating through space if we ever were able to come up with tech. To actually travel it.
There is no tech to achieve FTL. It isn't possible even if given another billion years, etc. Just face reality and move on.
Thank you for your work
There's so much i don't understand about the universe and yet i'm facinated by it.
Truly Exceptional❕
Love these videos. Hope they only grow in popularity.
Wow! This Channel is awesome. Thanks for sharing such a Quality content. It's interesting how knowing more and more about our universe rises more and more questions. Such a complexity of circumstances to fit together "by chance" just to aloud us to experience life ... and death. The biggest question is WHY. I'm not really sure if science could ever give an answer to this question because probably the answer is beyond matter. It must be a point in space and time where science of matter meets "science" beyond matter. Who knows...
By logic, a creator that is beyond our understanding of time has to exist to create everything we feel, experience and or see etc.
Good stuff!
I wish you'd have also covered the explanation that the constants appear fine tuned because as the simulations have shown, most other combinations don't allow for complexity, and thus wouldn't allow us to exist to question the specific values of the constants in the first place.
IMO it's the most compelling explanation. This covers why the constants have their specific values, leaving only the 'how' (which is covered by regular physics stuff).
That's the anthropic principle... and it's useless.
In every single scenario (necesity, inteligent design, multiverse, evolutionary cosmology etc etc) the inhabitants of that universe can "apply" it.
And any "explanation" that can be applied to EVERY scenario isn't an explanation, it's a void taulology
@@TheChzoronzon can you explain that in simpler terms? Because I really don't see why the anthropic principle is useless.
@@co2_os I just told you, in the most plain terms possible... I don't know how to make it even more simple
I can repeat it again, adding some emphasis:
"In every single different scenario possible (1º necesity, 2º inteligent design, 3º multiverse, 4º evolutionary cosmology 5ºetc etc) the inhabitants of that universe could reason that way (insert anthropic principle here)
They can use that "explanation"
And any "explanation" that can be applied to EVERY scenario possible, even if all of them are completely different at the core, isn't an explanation, it's just a hollow simpleness
This probably has nothing to do with this video but I “constantly” see the number 137 through out my day. It’s brought a lot of Curiosity to what this means and if it’s some kind of message. The fine structure constant.

so intriguing
"Our physical existence in this universe is nothing more than the manifestation of a huge number of interactions of its fundamental pieces, and all these interactions are dictated by the values of the constants of nature". This is really, an amazing and mindblowing way of seeing absolutely everything, all this video is *fascinating ♥*

That still doesn't answer life.

@@BuildingTimeFreedom "All things were created through Christ and for Christ. He ·was there before anything was made [is before all things], and all things ·continue [endure; or hold together] ·because of [or in] him". 1 Colossians 1:17
Answered 2000 years ago: How things 'hold together', i.e. The Strong Force... 'a fundamental interaction of nature that acts between subatomic particles of matter. The strong force binds quarks together in clusters to make more-familiar subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons. It also holds together the atomic nucleus and underlies interactions between all particles containing quarks.'
Hawking knew nothing but what his puny mortal mind could devise, locked into it and his chair, as he was. No mind alive on earth is smarter than the Creator of all. Fools argue against God.
@@eldin14 I'm not trying to argue against god, I'm just trying to figure out the language he (for lack of a better pronoun) left us to decipher. I'm so grateful it is such a hard problem because it will keep us busy for thousands of years, at least is has so far.
I am very thankful For created this incredible universe and is allowing us to experience life to its fullest. Man is that he may have joy.
I kinda liked the idea of the narrator saying that physics could just be code. I kinda support this because I recently thought of the progression of our universe as some type of advanced AI. One example I can think of is the evolution of biology on earth. It’s so curious to me that molecules came together to form life on our planet. And then slowly more complex life started to come up. Another example that I can think of is how galaxies are held together by a giant black hole in the center that has enough gravity to hold millions to billions of solar systems. I can give more examples but these are some that I think about when thinking that our reality/universe can be a simulation.
What is the mathematical probability of molecules by themselves generating organic life in an unguided process? Without a purpose or mission it somehow built the digestive system, knew the need for eyes in animals, and built eyes to process photons from light and designed the brain that interpretes what the eyes see? Ever thought of the magnitude of cosmic coincidence required for building the universe and fine tuning the first cell to building complex organisms? How an intelligent being like you can observe life and attribute it's origins and design to the very non-organic base matter used to build organic life baffles me.
I find it pretty amazing how life took hold and evolved on our tiny planet. I hope that people will evolve from the belief systems that separate us and see the amazement of life.

Being alive on this earth is like finding yourself confined to, yet nonetheless free to roam within the pages of a famous book, somewhere on a shelf, in the library of babel. Thousands of books nearby in the same shelf may be full of gibberish, but who knows what masterpieces may lie 1000s of bookshelves away. In other words, Who are we to define order through the lense of a universe intent on creating chaos?
The book you are looking for is the quran
This is what I believe: We are not central, but an exception. Our temporary existence is not significant in the grand scheme of things. How I view fine tuning of the universe and the golden period of life, is like tuning the frequency on a radio. A certain frequency will support life but as it keeps turning, life will eventually fade away, infinitely forever in the coldness of space. Just because something is rare, doesnt mean it is significant. With these constants in mind, our existence was destined to happen and also to dissapear into nothingness with no trace left behind.
I can’t wait to turn into a big bang and create universes! 😊
I’m convinced this universe is by design, all the clues are there.
