I recently discovered your channel and am a big fan of your explanation style. The structured, succinct paths from one point to the next manage to be simultaneously engaging and easily digestible. The sources you put in the description also definitely don't go unappreciated. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching! The topology of the universe is an active topic of research, and still there are unanswered questions that cosmologists are looking into. Recent studies have even suggested that a 3-torus or a slab universe might explain some anomalies in CMB data. I was considering including the results, but they didn't seem necessary for the video. In addition to the sources in the description, take a look at these if you want to learn more: arxiv.org/abs/2106.13205 arxiv.org/abs/1809.05924 Also, @Mephisto brought up this video by Vsauce: ua-cam.com/video/egEraZP9yXQ/v-deo.html It turns out I was wrong! Because the lacrimal puncta are connected to the nasal cavity through the tear ducts, we are actually homeomorphic to a surface with 7 holes!
Oh man, I tried to check out those research papers and it's like they aren't even speaking English. Like why do they say things like "as a signature for a multiply connected nature of the Universe"... what does that even mean? That two things are connect by some form of multiplication? Later: "Universe models with spatially multiply connected topology contain typically a discrete spectrum of the Laplacian with a specific wave-length..." Laplacian what? Obviously this stuff requires arbitrary knowledge to be understood like what these terms mean, because they obviously aren't using the standard definitions of words. I get that i'm not the target audience but geeze, it seems so arbitrary. Like if you're going going to change words and grammar around to accommodate these terms then why not just create a new term for it? Seems like it would be way less confusing. I'm likely wrong, but to me, it seems more accurate to say something like "as a signature for a multiplicatively connected nature of the Universe" or at least it's better english.
@Corey Rachar I am by no means a reliable source on this. I have no background in this field. however, i do not think "multiply" here is referring to multiplication. I think it means "multiple" but with -ly as the suffix. so in other words "connected in multiple locations" or something
@@tlocto so I was under the impression that the Eustachian tube was fully connected to the ear hole but you are correct, ear drums break the connection in a topological sense.
How do you keep taking your viewer on journeys through so many bizarrely disjunct ideas, and leave us with a sense of not just knowledge but comforting wisdom? Your teaching style is incredible. Thank you for making these videos!!!
I had never heard of the idea that if tge universe has a border, then there's some places in space that are more special than others. Really cool idea! 🧡
@@physicsforthebirds Is there actually a reason for the cosmological principle, or is it more like, "If it isn't the case, then we can't ever know shit about the universe, and that would suck."?
@@lonestarr1490 It’s more that we just don’t have a good reason to assume some places are more special than others, the burden of proof there is pretty heavy. So, we just assume the opposite.
Like how you connect math topology and kind of geometry to the physical behavior of the universe. It shows that math is so much more than numbers. It is the fundamentel language of our universe.
My first thought when you brought up the universe repeating was that "alternate dimension" thing in super mario 64 where if mario's coordinates exceed the size of the world the game subtracts the max coord value however many times necessary to treat it like he's still inside the boundaries. The exploits they use to get obscene amounts of speed are like too powerful or smthn like that so its easier to aim for a spot a few dimensions over rather than in the same dimension. I think there's some other weird behavior that makes them useful but i don't recall
"The exploits they use to get obscene amounts of speed are like too powerful or smthn like that so its easier to aim for a spot a few dimensions over rather than in the same dimension.

Really glad I found your channel, unique content. There’s this feeling these videos evoke, it’s hard to describe but it’s almost…cute? gentle? idk but keep it up, this is the genuine spirit of truth seeking.
holy shit im in love with this channel. the style, with a mix of animation and real life, the fluidity between points, the topics themselves, how you explain them... it's so amazing. I've literally told my friends about this channel. You're going to grow heavily over the next few months, that's for sure.
Today I found your channel and I'm really enjoying it. This semester I got a small introduction in topology in Analysis 2 class, it's interesting to see a more "practical" approach to the topic. I'm leaving this comment for the algorithm, to boost your channel and appreciate your work ^^
The UA-cam gods have granted you the recognition your content clearly deserves. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 10-15x in subs over the next few months
Really great video! Found your channel a tiny bit ago, and MAN, you have to be one of the most underrated channels on the platform! Your content is genuinely one of a kind, since your way of showing these concepts allows for people who don't have knowledge on the topic to easily find a base understanding and learn more about it, and those who do have knowledge and understanding to enjoy and gain new perspectives, i love it! Really a hidden gem, keep up the great work!
I'm a bit late but I just wanted to say that as someone that does cosmology research, these videos are really pretty incredible. You do such a great job of boiling these topics down to something someone with little to no physics knowledge can understand. We need more people willing to engage with the public and get them excited about physics and astronomy so thank you for doing that so well. Also, just a small note: the observable universe has a radius of ~45 billion lyr thanks to the universe expanding.
Have you looked into the recent developments surrounding the cosmological principle? What some call the crisis in cosmology. It is quite interesting to see how the further we can look, the more large scale structure we find, which challenges our idea of on what scale the universe begins to look homogeneous, and does it actually hold. Really ties into the ending of your video, and how the 'objective truth' such as it is may be forever hidden by the limits of what is even physically possible to perceive. I'm interested in seeing what JWST can provide. So far, it has only reinforced the difference in measurement of Hubble's constant. Perhaps the universe too had a dent which became a hole at some point :)
I just started watching some of your content yesterday and knew I had to sub, keep up the good work and thanks for reintroducing me to how interesting some of the topic surrounding astrophysics can be
Please oh please do a video series on physics. Everyone else is so confusing but you managed to flawlessly explain why our universe is both a Pringle and not a Pringle in a way I understood
"Signs of looping universe?" had been bugging me for a long time. There was the weird rare annular galaxy behind an annular galaxy, but I never thought of using the CMB. Thank you.
Found your channel yesterday, after watching the pringle video I watched the rest of your videos. I'm really happy to see that you made a sort of sequel to that video.
This is the first video i watched and its awesome! Nice style and structure. And i love how you built the videos to actually catch attention and be interesting on another level than the facts. Im happy to only see compliments and people appreciateing the work in the comments. Well deserved!
your videos are SO COOL, i just love this stuff. like. science, but at a scale so uncomprehensibly big it might as well be philosophy. also you have an incredible talent at explaining complex subjects!
This is a great video and you explain things very well. I'm a mathematician who works as a programmer in astronomy and this was still fascinating to me. I, too, prefer to just say, "We don't know," than to slap a silly answer on a question because uncertainty makes some people uncomfortable.
I am equally impressed as all the commenters. You clearly are an amazing teacher and are quite brilliant. My one tidbit of feedback is that I found the opening music a bit too jarring. Perhaps it was the volume, or maybe it was the composition or instrumentation. In short, it was just a bit distracting. That being said, the rest of the video was a real pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking us on these amazing journeys!
I'm SO happy to have stumbled on a video that actually explains the shape of the universe, instead of just repeating that it's flat over and over. My friends like to act very smart by knowing scientific facts, but rarely can they answer questions like this nor do they have the imagination to think together, they just start saying that "reality is an illusion" and we're all living in Flatland lmao
When you stare at the universe with boundaries at 4:21 and it switches to the one without boundaries you'll see a blue circle for the next few seconds whereever you look
This channel is going to explode real soon. Your vids are amazing, keep up the good work! Very well balanced between conveying a shit ton of information yet still being comprehendable if you have a bit of background knowledge!
The title reminded me of the movie "Everywhere Everything all at once" where there are millions of parallel dimensions or possibilities which are all connected to this void bagel
Your video about jazz got recommended, and when i went into your channel I was chocked by the quality of the videos compared how many you have made, i was expecting tons of videos, so for my and everyone else's sake make more please
oh wow this video... i just realized the visuals reminds me of Things To Make And Do In The Fourth Dimension but the style of explanation itself... reminds me of vsauce. the way you go from one thing to another thing but to actually talk about one overarching thing. and the ending with the musicc. whoa. like you tie a bow on the vid. very satisfying. as a someone who wants to make more vids, its rly inspiring
Loved this video. I love being able to see a piece of math and know what you are referring to before you finish it. Kinda sad you didn’t give John Nash a shout out for the Nash Embeddings on a torus. He is so much more than just the Nash Equilibrium. In the movie A Beautiful Mind when he is being told he is being considered for the Nobel prize, he mentions his embedding theorems which he always cared more about than the Nash Equilibrium. Second thought, is referencing if the universe is larger than the observable universe. This theoretically could be determined by looking at the rate of expansion of the universe. Because while we can’t see past 13.7 Billion light years, gravity will still affect things that far away. As our universe expands, it gets closer to itself on the opposite of the initial expansion. Objects moving away from the big bang would at first slow down, but once they got close enough to the “other side” they would speed up again because they are being attracted the other way. By testing different mass/size combinations, you could maybe find a curve that matches what we are observing.
Just going on some basic envelope math, I think that means we can have an upper bound of the universe size at roughly 4 times the age of the earth times the speed of light because halfway to the edge of the unvierse we would start speeding up again(in a simplistiic model). So the size of the universe is < 55.2 Billion light years wide.
I'm screaming 😱 I happen to suspect that the universe is a misnomer, and the omniverse is what we are measuring more accurately. I'm writing about these same topics, thanks so much for sharing your studies Godspeed
I don't know if you've ever read Daniel Pinkwater, but this reminds me of Uncle Borgels explanation of space and time; Space is like a bagel with *EVERYTHING* on it, and time is like a map of New Jersey
First time watcher. I've watched a ton of educational science youtube, and I really like the content and animations. Good level of detail without getting in the weeds. If you're looking for feedback, I think you need some sort of audio bed, the vocals sound solid but the silence between sentences is a bit jarring. Keep it up, and keep iterating on the format,. You've got a new sub. :)
Everyone is raving over ChatGPT, but the YT algorithm consistently recommends bangers (I know they’re two completely different things; just making jokes). I’m very happy it led me here. Instant subscribe, haha.
I agree with the last part completely. Something about the universe possibly being finite doesn't sit right with me. Then again, reality does not care if it sits right with me.
Before watching, the title reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Steven hawking tells homer his idea of a donut shaped universe is interesting... Will see if there's a connection in this vid!
I think personally I would prefer a universe with boundaries... It makes more sense in my brain hole. Also the idea that you could, in theory, map it all out is somewhat comforting. Like i'm the type of person who wants to be able to collect every piece of music, even if that's nowhere near a real possibility... I don't know why, heh.
12:15 The oldest light we can see is about 13.8 billion years ago in time or a little less, but it's something like 46.5 billion light years away in distance. This is because the universe has been expanding in that time.
I am glad to found your channel so early on, I love the way you explain difficult to grasp subjects and make it exiting and giving me the Aha, Hmmm, Interesting kind of feeling :) not many are able to do that for me at least. I feel I better understand these topics now that I watched your video about it. please keep up the good work I am sure more birds will flock around your channel!
What would the point even be in knowing if the universe loops? If the universe expands at the speed of light or higher, we won't ever reach the edge of the universe in the first place so it wouldn't even matter to us. The concept of topology might not even apply to the universe for all we know.. That said, I do really enjoy these videos. The production quality and editing is great, and I love your commentary and style. Keep it up!
Finally, an explanation that I can truly accept. It is not possible to identify the shape of the universe from data using light because the observable universe is smaller than the actual Universe. Due to cosmic inflation, measuring CMB patches is ineffective to decide the Universe's curvature because radiation is *not* faster than light.
I’ve always thought of a non-infinite topological universe as a paradox which only results in the conclusion of an infinite universe. If the universe is everything but also has a topology with a boundary that closes on itself, then surely the space outside of that shape is also the universe, which either has a shape and therefore has a space outside of itself or continues infinitely, but either way the term “the universe” must apply to all of it.
Yup, looks good. Horizons all over the place mark edges of the universe, both past the CMB and around each BH. We gain nothing by measuring how far away from one we are, though, since another observer would not share our arbitrary measurement system. 👍
Could not measure to either one anyways, since you cannot send someone to a BH event horizon or beyond the CMB to hold the other end of your tape measure.
This means that billions of years in the future we could know when it wraps back on itself, and it becomes 2times as likely to find that out as time goes on.
When gluing the 3d cube, using arrows is not sufficient. You need to use two ortogonal arrows on the surfaces. There are many ways to glue a cube other than standard and inverted, you also have many rotations.

I just discovered you a few days ago and now I get a new video. Hell yah :)
I'm just glad it's always in a shape of some food product
I wonder what point in a black hole ionic bonds fall apart and how far that point is from where a human would fall apart
Everyone is raving over ChatGPT, but the YT algorithm consistently recommends bangers (I know they’re two completely different things; just making jokes). I’m very happy it led me here. Instant subscribe, haha.
such a wonderfully amazing channel
1:11 this image and idea is absolutely hilarious to me.
I agree with the last part completely. Something about the universe possibly being finite doesn't sit right with me. Then again, reality does not care if it sits right with me.
Amazing thought provoking and whimsical
Before watching, the title reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Steven hawking tells homer his idea of a donut shaped universe is interesting... Will see if there's a connection in this vid!
I think personally I would prefer a universe with boundaries... It makes more sense in my brain hole. Also the idea that you could, in theory, map it all out is somewhat comforting. Like i'm the type of person who wants to be able to collect every piece of music, even if that's nowhere near a real possibility... I don't know why, heh.
12:15 The oldest light we can see is about 13.8 billion years ago in time or a little less, but it's something like 46.5 billion light years away in distance. This is because the universe has been expanding in that time.
Just gotta say your videos are great! A new sub for sure!
I really love these videos 😍
The Universe is an Everything Bagel.
Great video man. Keep it up!
I don’t know, would be pretty cool having a 3D printed model of our universe projected to three dimensions on my desk.
Birds and physics. Couldn’t ask for more~ I hope you never get a new mic, haha. Love your work ❤
I am glad to found your channel so early on, I love the way you explain difficult to grasp subjects and make it exiting and giving me the Aha, Hmmm, Interesting kind of feeling :) not many are able to do that for me at least. I feel I better understand these topics now that I watched your video about it. please keep up the good work I am sure more birds will flock around your channel!
The seeing yourself if you have a big enough telescope broke my mind. but obviously depending on topology.
Just came across your video, and I LOVE the music
What would the point even be in knowing if the universe loops? If the universe expands at the speed of light or higher, we won't ever reach the edge of the universe in the first place so it wouldn't even matter to us. The concept of topology might not even apply to the universe for all we know..
That said, I do really enjoy these videos. The production quality and editing is great, and I love your commentary and style. Keep it up!
Finally, an explanation that I can truly accept. It is not possible to identify the shape of the universe from data using light because the observable universe is smaller than the actual Universe. Due to cosmic inflation, measuring CMB patches is ineffective to decide the Universe's curvature because radiation is *not* faster than light.
I’ve always thought of a non-infinite topological universe as a paradox which only results in the conclusion of an infinite universe. If the universe is everything but also has a topology with a boundary that closes on itself, then surely the space outside of that shape is also the universe, which either has a shape and therefore has a space outside of itself or continues infinitely, but either way the term “the universe” must apply to all of it.
this video was awe inspiring
Yup, looks good. Horizons all over the place mark edges of the universe, both past the CMB and around each BH. We gain nothing by measuring how far away from one we are, though, since another observer would not share our arbitrary measurement system. 👍
Could not measure to either one anyways, since you cannot send someone to a BH event horizon or beyond the CMB to hold the other end of your tape measure.
This means that billions of years in the future we could know when it wraps back on itself, and it becomes 2times as likely to find that out as time goes on.
When gluing the 3d cube, using arrows is not sufficient. You need to use two ortogonal arrows on the surfaces. There are many ways to glue a cube other than standard and inverted, you also have many rotations.
You're right, the single arrows are ambiguous! Thanks for pointing that out.
Why exactly is a sphere ruled out? Curvature could be slightly positive which just requires a really big sphere.
