  • Carl Sagan told us that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all of the Earth's beaches. At the same time, there are more H2O molecules in just 10 drops of water than there are stars.
    Ranging from the unimaginably small to the unimaginably big, the scale of the universe is mind-boggling. Watch to try to wrap your head around it.

Then think about the potential physiological issues that could've popped up as a brand new human being is being incubated within another human being.

      The Atoms that comprise life on earth, the Atoms that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles cooked light elements into heavy elements. These stars; the high mass ones among them, grew unstable in their later years. They collapsed and then exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy, guts made of Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These elements become part of gas clouds that condense into the next generation of solar systems; stars with orbiting planets, and those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. And many people feel small because the universe is so big, but I feel big...because my Atoms, came from those stars.

The Observable Universe is only 27.4 billion light light-years across, which is double the 13.7 billion light-year radius of the furthest observables from Earth.

    • @jacobsmith7281
      @jacobsmith7281 8 років тому +7

      +Matthew James Unfortunately, i'm gonna have to correct you on that one. The diameter of the observable universe is physically, at this present time, about 91 billion light years. The reason you can't just take the age of the universe and double it for a measure of it's diameter is because space is and has been expanding and is also expanding at an accelerated rate. The "Known universe" is precisely that size by definition. Also, the "Entire universe" is an unknowable size since we cannot see beyond the cosmological horizon, which is roughly 46.9 Billion light years away. If you want some technical details, The distance to the edge of the observable universe is calculated by multiplying the speed of light by the conformal time that has passed since the big bang. Conformal time is how long it would take a photon to travel from our current location to the furthest observable distance we know of.

    Nice animation, several misstakes tho.
    The text says the ant is 0.4 millimeters and the counter says 4 millimeter.
    The text says the basketball is 24 centimeters and the counter says 5.5 centimeters.
    The text says the pyramid is 140 meters and the counter says 150 meters.
    The text says the distance between earth and the moon is 385,000 kilometers meters and the counter says 380,000 kilometers.
    Then after 1 lightyear I assume you just rounded 1 lightyear to 10,000,000,000,000 kilometers, which makes the text say the distance to Proxima Centauri is 4.2 lightyears, but the counter says it's 42 lightyears. And then it's back to being correct about Omega Centauri at 150 lightyears.

    Just imagine if our observable univers was one of many, and if we expanded the pense even further, we could eventually see more universes, different from ours, making up protons, neutrons, and electrons to form atoms, building up everything in a new universe, creating an infinite number of universes, either bigger or smaller than us.

      @brendansaffer7864 7 років тому +3

      Its interesting question. With so much out there it makes sense to assume life must exist, but theres actually science on this question. Basically theres a bunch of parameters or criteria a planet must have in order to maintain and sustain life, such as having a perfect sun or being the perfect distance from the sun. And along side the criteria is an equation which works out the probability of life existing on a planet, and by the end of 2015 the probability was 4000 over 1 Octillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). So basically the chances of a planet being able to sustain life is tiny, but still 4000 is a number. So mathematically, theres about 4000 planets in the universe which can sustain life. However, since the discovery of the first 2 parameters in 1966, every year new ones have been discovered, and the probability decreased accordingly. Today theres more than 250 parameters. The equation also only works out the probability of a planet being able to sustain life, weather its very complex life, or intelligent life is purely luck. Humans have only existed on earth for about 10 thousand years which in the scheme of things is tiny. The chances of intelligent species existing independently to us (evolved completely separately) at the same time is so small. To question weather life exist on other planets isn't the right question, because we know it does. Life simply will exist on another planet. The really interesting question is, does life exist on another planet currently. Life could have existed billions of years ago when Eukaryotic cells were only beginning to evolve on earth, and have since all died now. I mean... life on earth will come to an end as well. the universe is cruel like that...

    • @atouloupas
      @atouloupas 7 років тому

      Brendan Saffer Humans (Homo sapiens) have existed during the last 200,000 years. And eukaryotic cells still exist. Actually, you consist of eukaryotic cells! Maybe you're talking about prokaryotic cells (no nucleus) but they still exist too. Example: bacteria are prokaryotic, they don't have any nucleus. I don't think that anthropoids will stop existing, unless a huge meteoroid hits the Earth. But homo sapiens sapiens may not exist in the far future, because it may have been separated to other subspecies. Keep in mind that there were two homo sapiens subspecies: sapiens and idaltu. Idaltu is now extinct though. Who knows, maybe there will be another subspecies, our new cousins...

All these primitive and ancient fights over whose religion is the best has done nothing but hinder the human race. It's a shame we can't collectively all work together to create a better society, more efficient functioning fair and rational. If we all worked together we could create a perfect society, it's a shame not everyone can get on the same wave length that killing is wrong and crime is wrong. Even if people could just put aside their differences in beliefs and just help each other daily even, instead of bombing and shooting back at each other..

    The size of the universe is absolutely, well it can't be expressed, the best I can do it is, huge bigger then huge. If we look one way 13 billion light years. There is a galaxy that looks at us right now and sees a galaxy just forming. Past that is another galaxy 13 billion light years, and so on and so on all the way around the big bang. How big is the big bang, I don't know. That's my guess, or my theory.

      Good job, that made literally no sense.

      I'm saying that galaxy 13 billion Light years away is seeing somewhat the same thing we are.

      He's saying that from the edge of the universe to the source of the Big Bang, the Universe is 13 billion years old. So I'm going to assume.

      I am saying, our visible universe is 26 billion light years across, 13 billion on either side of us. Now the cosmic infrared background shows that as being 85 billion. I don't know how far away the big bang was but all we see, is located in that little cloud of vapor in the video I showed, at the 15 second mark. The universe is a lot bigger then we think. Again when ;we think we are the centre of the universe, we are wrong.

      Ken Kubesh Well that's a comforting thought, because if the universe *IS* bigger than we thought, it might mean there will be a much longer life spawn to the universe than we thought too.
