"And Here's the really crazy thing" - mate, you just had like 8 really crazy things in a row and you're doubling down now?! I literally cant brain any harder.
Our brains are inherently too small for this. We need to break it several times to create the space to fit all that stuff in. If you haven't broken your brain once, you haven't even attempted to understand physics.
I know! I love how I manage to get the wool fully pulled over MY eyes too! (although, I confess that the other day, I DID have a bit of an "Oopsy!" issue with with my "Self-image vs Reality" balancing - I foolishly tried to convince someone OTHER THAN myself that I had a reasonable grasp of quantum mechanics, but the wheels started popping off THAT wagon pretty quickly, beginning with when I was interrupted by a correction to my pronunciation of the word physics, itself - apparently "fiss -iggs" is NOT commonly heard - who knew?)

yah i got a bit lost on this caz i thought he was just theorizing on what is beyond the boundary of space but then he gets a bit off topic with holographic principal n i didn't really get the analogy or care to since its not really something that is applicable, so the most i got out of it was pretty much, you can mathematically define an infinite boundary on paper or that the universe might not be truly infinite. n i suppose there is little point wondering whats on the outside of space (if anything at all). kinda hard to get there when we can't even rly go.. anywhere. space is kind of boring to me now. its like just there n doesn't support life for humans becaz it is not for them =p n it is most likely something other than what we think it is.

@emmm lol, no we're just 3d physical objects in a physical universe inside of a multidimensional greater multiverse. Not Marvel's interpretation but scientifically and Biblically starting on a sub microscopic lvl and physically to plus macro lvl and spiritually
@@thegoodmanrot1460 It's a fair possible interpretation of biblical sources and scientific data. 1 chronicles 2.6 speaks of heaven and the heaven of heavens (a universe of universes?), which vast as they are, still cannot contain God. That's the macro. Colossians 1.16-17 speaks of God as like the Higgs Boson (see what I did there!?) holding the visible and the invisible together. Hebrews 11.2 is a good one, taking us down to the atomic level: "By faith we understand that the worlds (plural) were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." More speculatively Ephesians 3:18 possibly references four dimensions, "may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and the length and the depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge." In all of these verses, the writers are intelligently and humbly recognizing that there are realities currently beyond our current ability to understand, and yet they are striving to understand them anyway. Faith feeds understanding, and understanding feeds faith.
@@stylusapteryx1490 I forget where I heard this but I always loved the comparison of biblical descriptions of angels to instances of a higher dimensional object intersecting our 3D space. Are you a Christian?
@@SPGHTTFRT hi. Yes the old 'how many angels can you fit on the head of a pin' question. Yes I am a Christian. So many Bible verses have prefigured our scientific knowledge. "He stretches out the heavens like a cloak" ... Expanding universe. Psalm 8 the fish "pass through the paths of the seas". On the basis of that a man went looking for - and found - the ocean currents. And what about Job. "He binds up the Pleiades and looses the belt of Orion". We now know that from earth's perspective the stars of the pleiades are in fact moving closer together, and the three in orion's belt are moving apart. The supernatural is whatever transcends our current knowledge of nature. Whether as far back in time as the big bang or as small as a quantum theory of gravity, there will always be new levels of understanding to attain to, and, in the hearts of the humble, more wonder and reverence for the First Cause that holds it all together.
When I die, I hope my afterlife is just this guy explaining everything forever, never saying "but that's for another video", just pouring knowledge into my mind to infinity.....
Man... This is so perfectly phrased lol. Nothing like a solid ton of high-tier knowledge being dropped on your brain to reveal how much you don't know.

I'm holding out for this "saddle universe" theory. It would justify my belief that the Earth, as well as the universe, rides on the back of a giant turtle. ...my only concern is whose ass is on top off us?? 🤯
Plot twist: They find out that in the TRUE nature of the universe, the Earth IS flat. We just experience it as a sphere because we're missing like 13 dimensions.
I am just happy there are people in this world thinking about this stuff and understanding it. Actually gives me hope for humanity when this channel's video goes on trending.
I love how this channel doesn't dumb anything down. I'd rather have to smarten myself up to follow than have it dumbed down for me. That being said, this got very complicated very fast!
@Damon Sasser most concepts at the advanced level build on top of thousands of foundational ideas. So no, you can be the "ideal" teacher & still require 2+ decades to explain something to a child.
This channel is political. It is maximum money making agenda "physics". It is dumbed down "physics". It's plainly not honest. TRUTH, reality, AND nature/natural experience go hand in hand. They are knowingly lying about physics. Here's the proof. Here are the facts. THE THEORETICAL, TOP DOWN, CLEAR, SIMPLE, AND BALANCED MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE FACT THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA OF NECESSITY: Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Very importantly, outer “space” involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. NOW, carefully consider what is THE SUN; AS it does (and it must) exist in both time AND SPACE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky !!! E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy !!!! Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Carefully consider what is THE MAN who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The sky is blue, AND THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE !!! Carefully consider what is THE EYE. GREAT. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This CLEARLY explains the cosmological redshift AND the "black hole(s)" !!! AGAIN, gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma IN BALANCE !!!! Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! Great. By Frank DiMeglio
I think we should not shy away from mathematics and instead delve deep into the ideas about it. I am an Engineer with a fairly good understanding of what he is talking about but, when I don't understand stuff because the maths is being compactified in these videos, I go back to the mathematics and try to see how much of it I can understand on my own.
The best part about all this is that it's all guesswork. They "know" about as much as we do concerning the fabric of spacetime and black holes. They're just better at guessing about it.
This is way advanced on this topic. Start with 'Black Hole theory' In fact, there's a book that is fascinating and awesome; it gives you an overview of advanced theoretical physics REAL FAST; Gosh I forget it off hand..
He's also showing how "Unification" is happening in Math and in 'space' (spit; space is a 'placeholder' for "Time, Energy, Mass (information) and Gravity"
I love the way Matt O'Dowd so casually speaks of these heavy, complicated concepts. I also love those graphics! I thought for sure he would mention Mandelbrot's fractals when he spoke of tessellation. Then again, I'm no astrophysicist.
You can summarize the video with "what happens when you warp through space (so infinite speed)" 1. You end up where you started 2. You hit a wall 3. You go on forever For 1.) the universe would have to be a big 4d "ball" and we should be able to detect it or its so big that we can't measure precise enough. Its therefore possible We always ruled out 2.) because i think that would result in weird stuff and its probably not how expansion works. I wanted to add it though. And for 3.) the universe was always infinite. What happend at the big bang was just decreasing density and expansion of a point in an already infinite universe. so what would happen if you go on forever is, at some point you would just stop seeing matter and particles, just empty space. And the stuff with the diagrams was just about measuring and mapping and preparation for the video of the holographic principle. This video is more philosophical than scientific since it has no real applications. It's still fun and interesting though
It's his bouncing around with different space types and transformations... transformations even in linear algebra make me think okay wait, that term does this and that term makes the it go that way... nope... opposite...
I ask myself 'how can the universe be infinite?' and I struggle to grasp it, how can it go on forever and ever? It seems impossible to me and then I ask myself "how could it not be infinite?" and I struggle to grasp that as well, how could the universe just stop? How could there be an ending and then nothing beyond that point? That seems just as impossible as an infinite universe
The only way I could comprehend a finite universe visually would be if it looped back around to itself, sort of like how planets do. But that might just be because I have no reference for any other object that you could go in one direction 'infinitely' but really is a finite space.
@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa Klein bottle, doughnut etc. plenty objects out there that have an infinite path on their surface. Basically any object that has no edge.
I had a good day at work today. A senior analyst gave me a job well done on a task he assigned to me. I was feeling good. But I didn't want to get too high on my britches, so I made sure to watch the latest PBS SpaceTime and knock me back down to reality. That is. I know nothing. I have no idea half of what you said. And the more I watch, the more I realize how much I don't know. And the more I realize how much I don't know, the more I love this channel. Yes, today is a good day. Both a compliment at work and a new PBS SpaceTime. I am happy.
WOW! Among other things, hats off to the graphics people who somehow managed to keep up with Matt on this episode. That feeling when the roller coaster is about to start down the first slope, and you realize that it's so much taller than you expected... I swear if you guys can get me to understand the holographic principle, I'm going to double my contribution.
It will take me infinitely long to understand this episode. He lost me approximately 25 times. I wonder the percentage of people who saw this, who are actually able to explain it to a layperson.....
Just watch this lecture by Leonard Susskind. Search "Leonard Susskind on The World As Hologram" or click YT link ua-cam.com/video/2DIl3Hfh9tY/v-deo.html . He was close friends with Richard Feynman and teaches at Stanford. Him and Gerard't Hooft both collaborated together in developing the holographic principle. So it's best to get your layman explanation of it from one of the sources. It's really insightful and easier to follow IMO.
So, here's basically what i figured from this vid... Our flat space-time (the world we live in) is literally just the surface of some higher dimension construct. The reason our universe is infinite is because the edge is not on our space, but on a higher dimension. The hologram thingy, basically means all of this reality, means we are just shadows from a much, much more complex stuff. Edit: After watching the latest video though, I think i have to make some adjustments to my personal "take". We aren't just shadows. We're are also casting something of our own on a higher dimension. That's what we call gravity. And that solves the information paradox on black holes too, apparently. This getting more confusing for me. My brain is overloaded. Mind=blown.
I really want to thank you for making this extremely abstract subject very "accessible" and interesting. Also, the recap of Penrose diagram and Hawking Radiation was gold! WELL DONE!
I personally don't understand nothing of this .... but... I sincerely love to listening to this ... and challenge myself to be smarter and to try to be independently thinker ...
U know, none of this stuff really means anything to our daily lives. Too much Spacetime might be detrimental to your social life and social skills. Personal experience.
PBS SPACE Time team, I love you guys, You are amazingly awesome. Presenting the New Horizons of Knowledge about Universe in an artistic way with universal harmony, this is what you guys are doing. Ultimate respect from here to you guys.
The mathematics of this are far beyond me, but I am imagining a seriously cool situation I might want to try to write as a science fiction story about how some brilliant insane genius manages to prove that whole conformal minkovsky space as 2 separate but linked dimensions, one looking like that cool pattern the other inverted to show a 'surface' only to find that he, and everyone, exist simultaniously in both dimensions at the same time, but should NEVER become aware of it because of how nightmarishly it would impact the preceptions of each dimension's mirrored being. And now he's aware of it. Fantastic series by the way, glad I found it! totally subbed.
For sure, he must be really smart to grasp this stuff to the point that he can confidently explain it to a layman. Huge props to the whole team behind this channel on that front. But what really intimidates me though is the whole community of clear geniuses who not only comprehend but even contribute to the field. There are so many ridiculously smart people out there, it's wild.
@@ThomasJr I'm not too sure about that. Maybe 'laypeople' is a relative term. The way I see it, teaching cosmology to the non-layperson would involve a lot more math and formalism; and I'm sure the team behind this channel would agree that the point of these videos is not to serve as a cosmology course for physics students but to educate a general audience.
@@jezer8325 He's not accessible to laypeople, other channels are much easier to follow. Matt is a CUNY professor, of course he masters these themes, but he's not a good teacher at all for laypeople.
Don't feel bad this is not trivial. Basically, physicist realized that you can perfectly describe all the information hold within a blackhole in a 2D array instead of the expected 3D. A black hole basically strips a full spatial dimention out of anything that crosses the horizon and as black holes are the physical boundaries of our universe, physicists theorized that the edge of the universe ALSO should be described as a 2D array with 3Dness behaving more like an illusion, a hologram.
I like to personalize the info to deepen the inner crisis. And to force growth. Grab a regular old 3d flashlight, and point it at the wall. Slowly move it toward where it meets the other wall (any perpendicular one). Watch as the flat projection of light changes shape as the light moves from one surface to another. Try describing to yourself what you're seeing. Everything from the floodlight beam to the changing circular-to-ovoid light geometry on the wall. A creature living solely within that circle of light... would never dream of you and your flashlight. Sitting there and slowly moving it across surfaces. You literally change it from being upon two "dimensions" in this simple exercise to being on one common dimension + a new one. Geometrically, there are also a few deep mysteries happening with the precise shapes involved. The questions there occur on multiple levels... but, one existential helplessness at a time. (treat it like meditation if that helps, doing one careful thought exercise at a time... then adding in each day some of the info you've learned here). We're the first generation who stands a chance at understanding this new view of the universe on an intuitive level. Physicists of old would have killed to watch well-produced supercomputer simulations or video descriptions of all the subjects they weren't specialized in. In 30 years, when we're on brain-download episode 47,689... You'll finally be ready for that SpaceX journey to Sagitarius A*. See you there!
I haven't had a clue what he's talking about in years but I mb love listening to him anyhow. I suppose it's great that there's a platform for physics geeks to play on... and the rest of us can just feel happy we're being subconsciously trained for future lives as Interstellar travellers! lol...
adantigus So he shrunk 3D space to 2D space using technobabble and optical illusions just so he could add time as the third dimension, bringing us right back to 3D space. Psilocybin trip confirmed.
Abhishek shah it’s like when u ask someone directions then when they’re done u realize u didn’t hear any of it but to save face you just say thanks and walk away hoping you look like u heard them
I cannot believe Dr Matt convinced me to sit through this whole video. This isn't another, "I feel less smart after watching this," or a "I did my smart for the day" comment. I just happen to like his shirt. Is that merch I can buy?
Malcolm X claimed to have read the entirety of Webster's Dictionary. A sizeable vocabulary properly exercised in the mind of a loquacious individual tends to ostracize them from the masses.
I love these videos so much. On the other hand, they give me crushing feelings of mortality and insignificance. The questions we dont know the answer to kill me.
Matt may be great at teaching physics to graduate-level students, but he really is not a good science communicator. Every now and then I'll watch one of these videos to see if he's changed his style, but it seems he's stuck in his ways
Sergio Ortiz I get where youre coming from, I am 3 years away from Uni too and do not understand many of the things he says, but I think that he is an excellent teacher and all I’m lacking is a bit more knowledge of physics to fully appreciate his videos. He does a good job at explaining it though, but remember that he cant spend all day trying to Kurzgesagt his videos because it would be too annoying for advanced viewers. Imagine if your maths teacher explained addition every time before teaching you maths? It would be a bit tedious.
@@ikennamadueke9131 i think i get what you mean to say: there are lots of models and theories that will both be bullocks and mention/use infinity, but that doesn't mean "infinity is bullocks", the number zero is infinitely lacking, to say infinity is bullocks is to say zero is bullocks
As Argentinian, I've seen dozens of videos of Juan Maldacena, even L. Susskind or Joe Polchinsky without catching it, I`m only accountant with poor background in Mathematics and Geometry. This video, helps me a lot for example with the explanations of Mikonski, De Sitter and Anti-De Sitter spaces and so on....gonna watch it a couple of times more. Thank you.!
It's kinda like César Lattes in Brazil,the discoverer of pi meson.I mean,there's a "curriculum" where we can access all scientific papers published by brazilians which has his name,but outside the scientific community,no one knows him. Although people know our most famous astronaut,Marcos Pontes,he's now the minister of science and technology.
This is my favorite channel of which I understand absolutely nothing. It's like eavesdropping on people speaking Yiddish. You're intrigued for reasons passing understanding. I watch every upload.
This is such a precious site. Amazing insights achieved by some talented humans are brought a little closer to the masses (like me) while preserving much of the beauty in those achievements. This episode in particular stands out in that respect. The graphics accompanying the explanations are worthy of a prize for contributions to this internet corner of spacetime.
Me: Okay, my mind will probably be blown half way through this video. Matt: the boundary of the universe may be more real then the universe it contains. Me: ...
This is,......a surprisingly good explanation. I mean, its something so complexe even the smartest people havent figured it out. Im impressed PBS, whoever is behind this is doing excellent work.
Usually this type of science documentary/show leaves a lot to be desired. This particular one is pretty good. I've been studying quantum physics for a while now and I was surprised at the host/narrator's ability to simplify/teach complex concepts
I can't do the math, but i watch a lot of this stuff on UA-cam, and you are right, Matt here is killin' it compared to the others. I have even watched a number of Leonard Susskind's lectures, and while they are the real thing, they are much harder to follow if you don't have the scientific background. I have watched vids of Juan Maldecena too, and it really brings home the point that being a science communicator is a different skillset than just being able to do the science. People like Matt here have a very special talent..
@Yip yap so then to approach the event horizon of a supermassive black hole would be to gaze upon creations and destructions on the scales of galaxies and universes as a whole within say, the blink of an eye? ... Theoretically
Light can be regarded as information. News about something new - and a person needs light to see 'it' - (the black hole) - and then later report about it, this is why (imho :ø) light is lacking behind the (black) space at the event horizon. If it is a joke, I don't know - nothing (apparently?_?) escapes a black hole. Please, Don't take it so heavy; You're invaluable and a true life-giver - perfectly brilliant, you are!
@@videoqualia It's too hard because many videos promise to delve deep into one topic but then actually you need to know some background and later an unexpected math comes out. These videos are the definition of anti-clickbait. Clicking on one of them you'd never know what to expect. Maybe look for Penrose diagram, Matt loves them to illustrate almost any infinite math. This diagram is a recurrent character
Amazing channel. Spent the last few months going through all the videos. Liked and subscribed. It's humbling to run head long into the limits of ones intelligence, but still enjoyable.
@ 16:57 So, we need 5+1(*but it's a convenient break of one supposition FROM another FOR basic geometry. To say "quantum-fluctuation"?) -edit- All THIS math from the 90's though. Sushi-hysteria-derangement-neurosis'-syndrome. ^_^
*_Conformal compactification of hyperbolic space_* is not a phrase one often hears in polite society. Now that I can apply it to something, i.e. *Circle Limit IV* , I will drop it into the conversation at the next dinner party I get invited too. Not that I get a lot of invitations to such events. That may (or may not) have something to do with my chosen topics of conversation, but I can't be certain.
I think suddenly just blurting out, *_“Wow. That really brings a whole new meaning to the term 'animal lover.'”_* when someone new walks into the room you're talking to others in is much more fun.
Hi, Matt and crew! I'm so glad to see more about Sir Roger Penrose's ideas. It seems you might be talking about his Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) in the upcoming episodes, but I'm really curious about if you have any plans to talk about his Objective Reduction theory. It gravitizes quantum mechanics (as opposed to quantizing gravity) and effectively solves the Measurement Problem, so I think it would be an amazing topic for an episode or two. His and Stuart Hameroff's extension concerning neuronal microtubules and consciousness (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) is definitely still contentious (though gaining evidence nonetheless), but I am really just excited to see increased discussion about the Objective Reduction part. ^_^
"Have you ever asked, what is beyond the edge of the Universe?" Yes. At times exactly like this. That's why I clicked on this. Because I want my mind to be blown.
Oooooh lots of new stuff to think about! That is deliciously new and complex and sits neatly on top of my current knowledge and understanding levels... nice! I love you P.B.S. space time!

@@TheButterMinecart1 It'd be cool if they had a separate math section on their channel explaining the math of all these videos.
This channel is political. It is maximum money making agenda "physics". It is dumbed down "physics". It's plainly not honest.
TRUTH, reality, AND nature/natural experience go hand in hand. They are knowingly lying about physics.
Here's the proof. Here are the facts.
THE THEORETICAL, TOP DOWN, CLEAR, SIMPLE, AND BALANCED MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE FACT THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA OF NECESSITY:
Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Very importantly, outer “space” involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. NOW, carefully consider what is THE SUN; AS it does (and it must) exist in both time AND SPACE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky !!!
E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy !!!!
Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Carefully consider what is THE MAN who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The sky is blue, AND THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE !!! Carefully consider what is THE EYE. GREAT. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy.
BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This CLEARLY explains the cosmological redshift AND the "black hole(s)" !!! AGAIN, gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma IN BALANCE !!!! Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! Great.

I think we should not shy away from mathematics and instead delve deep into the ideas about it. I am an Engineer with a fairly good understanding of what he is talking about but, when I don't understand stuff because the maths is being compactified in these videos, I go back to the mathematics and try to see how much of it I can understand on my own.

The best part about all this is that it's all guesswork. They "know" about as much as we do concerning the fabric of spacetime and black holes.

This is way advanced on this topic. Start with 'Black Hole theory' In fact, there's a book that is fascinating and awesome; it gives you an overview of advanced theoretical physics REAL FAST; Gosh I forget it off hand..
What he's saying 'compactified' is this: Newtonian physics don't totally make sense with new knowledge/data.
He's also showing how "Unification" is happening in Math and in 'space' (spit; space is a 'placeholder' for "Time, Energy, Mass (information) and Gravity"

Ikr..this is too scientific for me to understand
I feel like a lot of these are very mathematically heavy and can’t really be understood without digesting the physical math behind them.
same here, i was hoping i wasn't the only one
You can summarize the video with "what happens when you warp through space (so infinite speed)"
1. You end up where you started
2. You hit a wall
3. You go on forever
For 1.) the universe would have to be a big 4d "ball" and we should be able to detect it or its so big that we can't measure precise enough. Its therefore possible
We always ruled out 2.) because i think that would result in weird stuff and its probably not how expansion works. I wanted to add it though.
And for 3.) the universe was always infinite. What happend at the big bang was just decreasing density and expansion of a point in an already infinite universe. so what would happen if you go on forever is, at some point you would just stop seeing matter and particles, just empty space.
And the stuff with the diagrams was just about measuring and mapping and preparation for the video of the holographic principle.
This video is more philosophical than scientific since it has no real applications. It's still fun and interesting though
It's his bouncing around with different space types and transformations... transformations even in linear algebra make me think okay wait, that term does this and that term makes the it go that way... nope... opposite...

De Dad Joke
Christopher De Walken space
Yeah, dad joke if your dad was Kip Thorne...
I ask myself 'how can the universe be infinite?' and I struggle to grasp it, how can it go on forever and ever? It seems impossible to me and then I ask myself "how could it not be infinite?" and I struggle to grasp that as well, how could the universe just stop? How could there be an ending and then nothing beyond that point? That seems just as impossible as an infinite universe
This is why everyone who has ever contemplated infinity has gone mad..
The universe can be finite and have no edge
The only way I could comprehend a finite universe visually would be if it looped back around to itself, sort of like how planets do. But that might just be because I have no reference for any other object that you could go in one direction 'infinitely' but really is a finite space.

It will take me infinitely long to understand this episode. He lost me approximately 25 times. I wonder the percentage of people who saw this, who are actually able to explain it to a layperson.....
Just watch this lecture by Leonard Susskind. Search "Leonard Susskind on The World As Hologram" or click YT link ua-cam.com/video/2DIl3Hfh9tY/v-deo.html . He was close friends with Richard Feynman and teaches at Stanford. Him and Gerard't Hooft both collaborated together in developing the holographic principle. So it's best to get your layman explanation of it from one of the sources. It's really insightful and easier to follow IMO.
Just replying to be there when it happens. Scroll along.
So, here's basically what i figured from this vid...
Our flat space-time (the world we live in) is literally just the surface of some higher dimension construct.
The reason our universe is infinite is because the edge is not on our space, but on a higher dimension.
The hologram thingy, basically means all of this reality, means we are just shadows from a much, much more complex stuff.
Edit: After watching the latest video though, I think i have to make some adjustments to my personal "take".
We aren't just shadows. We're are also casting something of our own on a higher dimension. That's what we call gravity. And that solves the information paradox on black holes too, apparently.

The mathematics of this are far beyond me, but I am imagining a seriously cool situation I might want to try to write as a science fiction story about how some brilliant insane genius manages to prove that whole conformal minkovsky space as 2 separate but linked dimensions, one looking like that cool pattern the other inverted to show a 'surface' only to find that he, and everyone, exist simultaniously in both dimensions at the same time, but should NEVER become aware of it because of how nightmarishly it would impact the preceptions of each dimension's mirrored being. And now he's aware of it. Fantastic series by the way, glad I found it! totally subbed.

@@ThomasJr I'm not too sure about that. Maybe 'laypeople' is a relative term. The way I see it, teaching cosmology to the non-layperson would involve a lot more math and formalism; and I'm sure the team behind this channel would agree that the point of these videos is not to serve as a cosmology course for physics students but to educate a general audience.

It amazes me how one person can know so much about a subject.
Seem to be a very clever explanation, but my brain couldn't follow...
Think of it like a Niagara dolomite brick wall surrounding the entire universe.
Don't feel bad this is not trivial. Basically, physicist realized that you can perfectly describe all the information hold within a blackhole in a 2D array instead of the expected 3D. A black hole basically strips a full spatial dimention out of anything that crosses the horizon and as black holes are the physical boundaries of our universe, physicists theorized that the edge of the universe ALSO should be described as a 2D array with 3Dness behaving more like an illusion, a hologram.
The colors were nice though.
Listen, I am very very high right now and this video has put my mind in an indescribable state of confusion and overwhelming wokeness
I watch these episodes every time they are released. I get about 50% before my brain says "no your never gonna understand this" and shuts down.

@@Nihilova Holy cows. I missed on that video... now I'm bound to watch it soon!!! 😱😱😱
I like to personalize the info to deepen the inner crisis. And to force growth. Grab a regular old 3d flashlight, and point it at the wall.
Slowly move it toward where it meets the other wall (any perpendicular one). Watch as the flat projection of light changes shape as the light moves from one surface to another.
Try describing to yourself what you're seeing. Everything from the floodlight beam to the changing circular-to-ovoid light geometry on the wall.
A creature living solely within that circle of light... would never dream of you and your flashlight. Sitting there and slowly moving it across surfaces. You literally change it from being upon two "dimensions" in this simple exercise to being on one common dimension + a new one.
Geometrically, there are also a few deep mysteries happening with the precise shapes involved. The questions there occur on multiple levels... but, one existential helplessness at a time.
(treat it like meditation if that helps, doing one careful thought exercise at a time... then adding in each day some of the info you've learned here).
We're the first generation who stands a chance at understanding this new view of the universe on an intuitive level. Physicists of old would have killed to watch well-produced supercomputer simulations or video descriptions of all the subjects they weren't specialized in.

*Space is expanding faster than light at the event horizon*
Light: *Am I a joke to you*
@Yip yap so then to approach the event horizon of a supermassive black hole would be to gaze upon creations and destructions on the scales of galaxies and universes as a whole within say, the blink of an eye? ... Theoretically
Disk space is expanding faster then Data on my network.
There must always first exist space before that which occupies space, even light.
Light can be regarded as information. News about something new - and a person needs light to see 'it' - (the black hole) - and then later report about it, this is why (imho :ø) light is lacking behind the (black) space at the event horizon. If it is a joke, I don't know - nothing (apparently?_?) escapes a black hole. Please, Don't take it so heavy; You're invaluable and a true life-giver - perfectly brilliant, you are!
Cosmic* event horizon
I think I get it, the earth is round in a flat universe and Stephen Hawkins is giving of infinite radiation
After spending a week watching other relevant videos on your channel, I finally think I understand this!
Really???? How???😅😅😅
a playlist please.
@@videoqualia It's too hard because many videos promise to delve deep into one topic but then actually you need to know some background and later an unexpected math comes out. These videos are the definition of anti-clickbait. Clicking on one of them you'd never know what to expect.
Maybe look for Penrose diagram, Matt loves them to illustrate almost any infinite math. This diagram is a recurrent character
I’ll play this video to my date, and pretend to understand.
Good luck
You gonna tell us what happened?

You'll end up with infinite space and time to regret.
Amazing channel. Spent the last few months going through all the videos. Liked and subscribed. It's humbling to run head long into the limits of ones intelligence, but still enjoyable.
Sweet Christmas. I can't even. Like being continuously hit in the face with 20 pool noodles of science. Love the show (piff)!
My brain just melted
It's great to see something intelligent and education on trending.
LMAO at the title and then you said in the intro "Our Univers May be an infinite" or it might have an edge? LOVE YOU MAN! :)
"Start with a graph of space and time - a spacetime diagram" ... Ok I'm following
@ 16:57 So, we need 5+1(*but it's a convenient break of one supposition FROM another FOR basic geometry. To say "quantum-fluctuation"?) -edit- All THIS math from the 90's though. Sushi-hysteria-derangement-neurosis'-syndrome. ^_^
This just resonates with me on such a simple level. I love the symmetry. Quantum physics is really the best
*_Conformal compactification of hyperbolic space_* is not a phrase one often hears in polite society. Now that I can apply it to something, i.e. *Circle Limit IV* , I will drop it into the conversation at the next dinner party I get invited too. Not that I get a lot of invitations to such events. That may (or may not) have something to do with my chosen topics of conversation, but I can't be certain.
I think suddenly just blurting out, *_“Wow. That really brings a whole new meaning to the term 'animal lover.'”_* when someone new walks into the room you're talking to others in is much more fun.
I think you and I would be our own subunit at that dinner party.
I would rather hear people talk about physics than celebrities.
You should host your own dinner party :)

The Graphics demonstrating the particle horizon would make an excellent T-shirt/Poster design!!You can keep that,it's on me👍!
Hurt my brain and didn’t get 99% of it but still kept me watchin to the end! 👍
I'm awful at even basic math i don't know why I'm watching this
We want answers. Can't understand the answers though but we want them
I popped more neurons in 20 minutes than while I was writing my master's thesis.... I will watch it over again for sanity....or giggles
Think you so much for confusing me so greatly, genuinely makes me so happy to see these maps of space and time, so cool, im just grinning right now
Hi, Matt and crew! I'm so glad to see more about Sir Roger Penrose's ideas. It seems you might be talking about his Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) in the upcoming episodes, but I'm really curious about if you have any plans to talk about his Objective Reduction theory. It gravitizes quantum mechanics (as opposed to quantizing gravity) and effectively solves the Measurement Problem, so I think it would be an amazing topic for an episode or two. His and Stuart Hameroff's extension concerning neuronal microtubules and consciousness (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) is definitely still contentious (though gaining evidence nonetheless), but I am really just excited to see increased discussion about the Objective Reduction part. ^_^
"Have you ever asked, what is beyond the edge of the Universe?"
Yes. At times exactly like this. That's why I clicked on this. Because I want my mind to be blown.
I mean, you could at least buy my brain dinner and tell it that it's pretty before you do what you just did...
You'll call me later, right?
Underrated comment!!! 😂😂
What the heck 😂😭😭
Best comment right here.
Best comment by far! 🤣
Yea, he straight up blew my mind. Didn't know it was happening until too late. 10/10 would do again
Oooooh lots of new stuff to think about! That is deliciously new and complex
and sits neatly on top of my current knowledge and understanding levels...
nice! I love you P.B.S. space time!
