Ah it's that wonderful time of the year where Anton takes a much needed break and drops 3-hr long compilations. This is the real holiday season I look forward to.
I'm new to the channel, thanks to his crossover with Fraser Cane, but for people who've been here, such as you, isn't it the case that you've seen all these videos already as they came out during the year?
@@PoleTooke More or less, yeah. But he uploads a video almost every day, so sometimes I'll miss a few and more times than not, I just forget things he's gone over due to sheer volume. I listen to them as I go to sleep, so the compilation videos are always a welcome addition for myself.
I actually wonder how many people will actually watch that video until the end? I will personally watch it in little sequences during my spare times. I'm 31 minutes through and so far it's amazing
Regular UA-camr: Sorry guys, no new video today! *makes 30 min video on why he can't make a new video today* Anton: Sorry guys, no new video today! *dishes out 3 hour compilation of past uploads and you haven't even seen half of it because he stamped one out literally every single days for several years* dude is insane
I wake up so many times randomly and hear “hello wonderful person” lol. Anton and John Michael gottier (sp), as well as the channel “let’s find out” are good for sleeping with some cosmos knowledge playing. Closer to truth sometimes too Or PBS space time if you want to fall asleep in the middle of the day. Kidding kidding
3 hours long? Awesome! Love learning what is new in astronomy. I appreciate you compiling and sharing this information. I would not have the time or knowledge to read all these articles.
Anton truely deserves every like, good comment and financial donation plus more. Keep on rocking, i am gratefull for the many, many hours of science /space videos Anton uploaded, Greetings bibia.
Just pondering how far we've come in the last 60 odd years, when there were still people on TV debating about "The canals on Mars" who built them and how long ago? I can only imagine where humanity will be about 60 years from now. Since I am not likely to be here barring a major scientific break through on stopping the aging process. Who knows? Great job Anton.
Must watch these videos more than any other channels love falling asleep while watching them takes about 2 hours because i keep turning round to look at them lol
NASA should be paying/hiring you to bring this knowledge to the world. I cant wait to get home from work to watch your videos everyday. i just discovered you a couple months ago so i have alot of catching up to do. My daughter aspires to work for NASA one day and this is in part to your videos, you helped develop her interest in space. I have watched you so much your videos show up on my feeds everywhere now. NASA needs to hire you dude! Bless you and your family! You sir are the wonderful person!
You seem like an incredibly sweet human being, so nice to listen to your voice. It's so calm. Also; thank you for your great, great work, and also quirky/ nerdy/ cute Humor sprinkled in every now an then! 👏🏻❤️
1 hr in Anton's voice becomes hypnotic. Tempting me into the vast wondorus universe....NO must...hit...pause....errrgh....phhht! It's ok..I'm fine...really
Man Webb is capable of so many amazing things and I’m truly excited, but, given the WASP-39b release, I wouldn’t be mad at all if they gave up all the early universe stuff and just locked in on exoplanets. A discovery of “high probability of life” would bring so much funding to astrophysics. Normies don’t get excited about stuff like earendel, though they should
Ok ok. The clusters are cool, I just saw the lens to the right and.. That's it, you said it. Nice! Far objects at the far right! Redshift, right? Red means farther? Oh, the quintet!!!! 😲😲😲😲😲😲 Ok, they are easy to generate from the original b&w renders of NASA, processing with photoshop or such softwares that have the option of mapping brightness to different colours! Have you done a video with X-ray spectrum observations?
I really wonder if it would be possible if if we launched another microwave wavelength telescope and we did redshift analysis of all the spectra we absorb if we could push back the time for the creation of the heavier elements. I mean I was watching your video thinking if we had a microwave background telescope like James Webb and we could do spectral analysis of the light frequencies closer towards the beginning of existence if we could time code the eras where the heavier elements first could be spotted. And what I mean by that is say we look at the microwave and radio light spectrum and we find lots of red shifted elements far earlier than we ever anticipated.
Towards the end of this amazing presentation, and a few whiskys, I clearly saw Queen Victoria with her arm raised seeming to say, "I am not amused" This raised the serious astronomical question as to how did she get out there?
And just think that many of those galaxies 4 billion light years away have merged and have become super massive galaxies that we can't even see yet! There's lots of life out there!
My cat loves your channel. When i leave, i try to throw this on? Is it your voice ? Then animations! Be he watches the channel at the end of the bed, lol.
Seriously Anton: This is by far the best compilation of videos on this subject I have seen. Can't thank you and all contributors enough. Especially for clearing up the guff about the Big Bang theory being disproved. I myself think this was not the first or last Bang in an eternal process of an infinite nature. If M theory is anywhere near correct then we should see remnants or artifacts from other universes. This may go some way to explaining the sudden unexplained appearance of galaxies. I am indulging in pure speculation which is the best I can do for now, sorry. Thanks to all of you again.
SIDS got my brother too at 18 months he was an amazing little brother for how much i knew him. it still hurts my heart that he didnt get to see this beautiful and horrible world
Thanks for the upload. Just wondering -- the galaxy that's 13 billion light years away, how far away was it when the light left the galaxy? I assume it still exists in some form, and if so, how far away is it now?
I have a question is the vacuum space was the outer part of universe? Meaning universe is still expanding.. So is the space out of the universe totally vacuum?
Hey cousin! Where u at? 🇨🇦 Do people ask you if your empire of investments are going well? (J. Gould). I always have to tell people i only wish i played piano. (Glen Gould)
Yeah twice as big as Jwst, silver mirrors and Called Carl Sagan Observatories. Due for 2034 to mark 100 years of Carl's achievements. Discussions include- capitalise on the advances made manufacturing jwst & build from it. & Something about it costs just as much time & labour to stick an Observatory on top of a mountain As it does to put it in Space. &
Here's a dumb question for you: is blue shifted and red shifted light actually blue & red? Or were these colors decided by us for us to understand wavelengths easier?
It appears as what we call red. Fun fact, on warships at night, all the interior lights are switched to red, because of the longer wavelength (or already long wavelength at the source I suppose) it’s harder to see from any distance in case light gets out a hatch or like on the bridge for instance. (I was in the navy)
@Kevin Sayes yes in visible light you are correct. But we can't see the frequencies that this telescope takes photos in. So the question was really: is blue visible light a 1:1 to blue shifted infrared or is it just an overlay. So to answer my own question: it's an overlay not a 1:1.
@@houjous5131 good call, so something being infrared is an extreme redshift on the em spectrum, and you’re right we can’t see it. So it’s just farther down a scale if that makes sense. Sorry I don’t know how to word it, and may be incorrect
Talking about redshift... I've had a thought floating in my head for a few days now, that may just be a result of my partial understanding of things, but here goes ... Where does the lost energy from redshifted light go? The energy of a photon is synonymous with its frequency, so a redshifted photon is less energetic than it was when it started out. Has that energy been absorbed by the fabric of spacetime in its expansion? Could that be what is accelerating the expansion of the universe? Just a thought. Would love to know if there's an existing understanding on this.
@@terrycox1639 So it is as I thought ... kinda like a quantum-spacial-electrodynamic version of thermodynamic expansion. I now have to wonder what the actual amount of energy being absorbed is, and how much effect it is having on the expansion process... Thankyou for your research and explanation 🙂
"Something that would take Hubble telescope at least a few weeks, to produce something similar". That got me a bit confused. So with a few weeks Hubble could produce this a similar image? So what was the point on spending 10billion dollars. And why didnt hubble produce a more in-depth image so far, in all this years? P.S.: Great video as always Anton! cheers
Now this is a great channel to listen to ..I can't stand narrators with their lip smacking croaky voice nails on a chalk board sort voice to sleep too!.. thanks Anton for your wonderful uploads
I guess I have a stupid question about the Big Bang theory part. 😅 It's mentioned that farther galaxies are less developed. Is this the case looking into all directions of space? Or is there like a "center" of the universe in some direction where even the galaxies far away are (more) developed? Thank you, it's so interesting to listen to!!!
Thank you so much Anton, you are such a beautiful person and I want you to know you've personally changed my life by giving me the gift of sleep. Love you man❣️
rather than gravitational lensing, i wonder if that could be ACTUAL lensing? ACTUAL light diffraction from the massive cloud of whatever it is you can clearly see in that area, probably ice of some kind, and lots of it.. is it possible there could be massive clouds of ice in space that cause optical illusions? comets shed plenty of it for instance
What if they put like a telescope on the moon and as or orbiting the moon and then as it's orbiting the moon and the moon's orbiting the Earth and where orbiting the Sun it's able to take multiple screen pictures of the universe and using computer technology reconstruct these images as if it was a much larger telescope than it really is???
Jimmy, our demographic is different than in Sweden and other Nordic countries. Here we have millions of people ripping off the government. We also have had a porous Southern Border for decades. It affects education, Social Services and Healthcare. For every one American that would benefit 3 to 5 individuals who didn’t pay into it would get these benefits. You have to be at ground level understand this con game. Crooks living off crooks living off crooks. Unfortunately, the way things are going that is snout to change in a major way. I'd say the Fix It Ship has sailed already. There really isn’t a safety net anymore. Just like Wildcat Coal Miners in Pennsylvania. The main Anthracite is all mined out. Now they're taking from the sections that support the crust. Then you get mine subsidence and cave-ins.😮 We're not even getting the ill gotten spoils of war. The oligarchs and elites are using our National Defense as 'Privateers' similar to the English, French and Spanish of Several hundred years ago.😮
Why earliest galaxies had very similar chemical makeup to current galaxies, when the hydrogen and helium needed to be processed through 5 or more supernovae to reach their complexity? Likely the first stars formed after the big bang were huge blue giants which burned their fuel very fast and went supernovae within 20,000 years. Within 120 to 200 k years, the gas chemical composition would be very similar to present.
He didn't come up with word dark matter, that's more of a poor translation of dunkel means more like obscure/mysterious matter. Dunkel is like something dim you can't really put your finger on what it is. Honestly it would've been better for English just to adopt the word dunkel and kept it as dunkel matter.
Taking a short break to spend time with the family. Enjoy the compilations!
Happy Thanksgiving Anton, you are a gift that keeps on giving! (i know your not in the US but happy thanksgiving to you and your family anyway)
You deserve it so much. I salute your flow of publications, always interesting. Take care and the time you need. We will still be there.
Enjoy the time😊
Give your family a big hug from all of us. Enjoy your well deserved time off. 👍😎

You have left 'plenty meat on the bone' with this banger.
I'm watching with Adverts enabled, should get you some revenue

Great background noise while reading Dr beckys book.
Wonderful
3 hours of Anton…my wish has come true.
The first 3 hours and 22 minutes was good.
I bet!!!!!!
Now I need a 12 hour version for sleep😭😓
He has several compilations like this.
Ah it's that wonderful time of the year where Anton takes a much needed break and drops 3-hr long compilations. This is the real holiday season I look forward to.
I'm new to the channel, thanks to his crossover with Fraser Cane, but for people who've been here, such as you, isn't it the case that you've seen all these videos already as they came out during the year?

@@Jonathan-rz1oe makes sense!
I actually wonder how many people will actually watch that video until the end?
I will personally watch it in little sequences during my spare times.
I'm 31 minutes through and so far it's amazing
not only did i watch the whole thing, i did it all with my mouth hanging open.
pretty sure i swallowed a fly lol

dude is insane
insane in the most positive way.
You're the first UA-camr who posts such hours long compilations, that i have actually say through and watched.
Feel special lol

My main interest is related to deep field studies. This is where new physics may come from. I want to see more work on this.
Anton Petrov, you are the best, truly this was a joy to watch
The five galaxies that are far apart but lined up together look like they could have been formed from the same strand of gases.
Four of them are actually in close proximity to each other. Two are colliding.
Awesome! Been waiting for this one. You are one of the most consistent, hardest working people on youtube. Enjoy your break with the family! :-)
In a higher-energy early universe environment, maybe that’s why early galaxies were quickly formed?

Also is it possible to use the bambu slicer for the cr10?
Considering constant damage and how long will it degrade till it gets to the Hubble level, what is 12 hours compared to the time Hubble took?

What about the footage of them blinking their eyes near the tractor? That needs evaluation
Maybe themirrored galaxies are the ones the spin the opposite way ?.
Where are the links to your sources? You talk about all these images and data. EXACTLY where do they come from? Thanks
