I'm happy that you're doing what you're doing, John
I’m happy that you’re happy that John is doing what he’s doing
I'm happy to do it.
@@hoixmap520I'm happy cuz you are happy that he is happy because John is happy to do it
*_*happiness intensifies*_*
If my math is correct, that's a Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.
The idea of just one electron, zipping all over the Universe in order to make it appear, reminds me of the old raster system for displaying TV pictures, with just one light zipping back and forth and triggering the red, blue and green cells to make up the picture.
That's interesting. My own theory is that there is only one electron in the universe and it's name is Tim.
Or it’s like a Sophon from the 3 Body Problem.
“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
“There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

JMG is leading us to the Total Perspective Vortex
Adams was such a hoopy frood. I missed meeting him in person years ago by just hours. I worked in the same complex as Infocom when they were doing the game based on the Hitchhikers guide.
That's not what he meant. He meant it will open up more questions and completely blow our minds. More answers even more questions and astonishment
I've been a landscaper for 9 years and I've NEVER dug a hole were it was 1 to 1 pile to hole ratio. You always need to find more backfill to get it level, haha. I love your channel Michael, recently subscribed. My gratitude Sir.
The phlogiston argument, you simply didnt pack it exactly as it came
What's wild to me is I'm usually running a 100 or more feet of decently thick pvc pipe, and it's STILL a problem 🤣
#Facts of course physicists never dug a real hole in their lives. 😅
Water content evaporates from the material dug out as well as from the sides of the hole. This would be my guess.
@@Freja_Solstheim So a hole left on its own gets larger???😘
Thank you JMG for all the fantastic content you provide, it's always entertaining and educational. Much love and best wishes from across the pond
Much love back! Many thanks. Next up ... Mars.
The way JMG ends his videos with "in which we liiiiiive" is the greatest thing the universe has ever, by shear luck, created.
Your voice conveys thought provoking concepts that stay with me. I appreciate that you find, read, comprehend, and translate complex scientific papers into concepts that are easy to listen to and make me question what we think we know. Im not in the dark energy/matter camp. Yes it balances the net zero energy hypothesis, but it is a fudge factor conceived to do exactly that :-) Thank you.
Thanks!
JMG - You rule. One of my fave channels here.
It’s not much but you’re a massive inspiration to me. I hope I can become an astronomer/sci-fi author one day. Currently working on my BS in Physics 💪 but thanks bro.
Best of luck with your studies and thanks!
There's loads of BS in physics.Usually when fundings needed😂❤❤❤good luck on your future❤
Hell yeah! I’ll be coming through soon, as well.
I wish scientists and philosophers would get used to a distinction. “Nothing” as usually used means “a lack of a particular thing,” as in “There is nothing in this box,” as opposed to “nothingness” which means an absolute lack of any existence at all.
I think I could use this premise with my wife when she asks what I’m thinking about.
As noted right at the open: when you really take a moment to think about it, the universe and all of existence is exceptionally weird. Like...what the heck is all of this? Why are we even here?
Spiritual beings incarnated into a physical world. If we live to 75 we spend 25 years asleep.. dreaming meditation and inducing oobe is a good start, if you aren't scared take psychedelic or dissociative..
You can reach these states with mindfulness meditation and using your 8 hours of stasis a day but it's much harder. It is beautiful though I'm at the beginning of my spiritual journey, my "astral projection" experiences have started to become more psychedelic and influential.
It does sound pretty woo woo but modern life has almost eliminated all spirituality. Keep a dream journal, try to induce sleep paralysis and stay calm. At the very least practice meditation even if you still believe in a material reality meditating will only do us good
@@danf7411 Rogan, is this your alt? It does sound pretty woo woo. Because it is.
That's what I've always wondered.... Why is there something instead of nothing??
@@danf7411 it is woo 😂😂😂
If I had to guess, it's because this was the only way it could come about this way.
I love your channel it brings me much joy.
never stop john, you are my favorite youtube channel
Thanks for putting this out, it seems like I'm the only one i know in "real life" who has been saying this stuff and I just get weird looks, I say look into science and read about it, you get to this weird point where you realize that the more you know the less you know and that it seems to be a fundamental aspect of reality, im glad for youtube and the people who take the time to make these videos because i know im not alone even though i am lol
JMG, your content really melts my face... Much appreciated...
this is top shelf science and futurism content. thank you taking the science seriously and having an imagination
Wow. This one was super fascinating. Love these vids.
I’ve been watching JMG videos for a few years now and have seen pretty much every one of his videos. This has got to be the best one yet. Informative, thought provoking, clear, concise, well produced…everything. It’s truly is a “something” 😉
Thankyou for continuing to delivering the goods john!
I got a belly full of deviled eggs and brisket John. Thank you.
I'd be cracking porcelain soon
Brisket John is meat that's been eaten
🤣
@@erichooligan9329 buddy I’m way ahead of you
Good Food!
I get a Matrix Explained and a John Michael Godier back to back? Good Easter evening!
That matrix explained was absolutely awesome!!!
Link to "The Matrix Explained"?
Happy Easter!
Hell yeah you’ve been on a roll recently with all the videos 🤘
Nothing is unstable . Cyclical universe for the win . Great episode as always John .
The expansion is accelerating.
How can we say for sure that the universe wasn’t being observed when it was created? Now that would really be something, wouldn’t it? 😉

I agree. I liked it so much I listened to it twice!
“Being and non-being produce each other”…
Tao Te Ching, written 2500 years ago
My model of reality is the ground state is an infinite number of probabilities, that both exist and don’t exist. They exist as probabilities, but don’t exist due to cancellation through contradiction. This cancellation of the field of infinite probabilities renders this field infinitely small or non-existent. The Tao Te Ching says that it “seems to exist”. This is why the ground state cannot be seen, and any effort to investigate it seems to flee our perception into the infinitely small…
.
It is possible that this field of infinite probabilities is oscillating between being infinitely small and non-existent. That this oscillation is what the Tao Te Ching refers to as “the opening and closing of heaven’s gate”, the flashing in and out of existence of the universe, and with each closing of the gate the ground state dips into the infinite probabilities, and opens to manifest a new set of these probabilities as the material universe…
.
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake has suggested that what we perceive as constants, as laws governing the universe are not laws, but mere habits that the universe is in. This would allow - since the ground state contains an infinite number of probabilities - the possibility of the ground state introducing novelty that disrupts the habits that the universe is in. As Sheldrake observed - and the scientific groups think downplays - that the “constant” of the speed of light slowed significantly roughly during the period of World War 2, and sped back up shortly thereafter. That slowing would be an example of the introduction of novelty into the universe, at least locally…

love your so good vids, dawg.
I don't know how I can sleep if JMG ever stops making videos.
These videos are super relaxing and a great dream stimulant. No better way to enter a scifi universe than listening to JMG
One of your better videos. You should ponder this in a longer format and dive deeper. Perhaps get an Aristotelian on the show for a friendly discussion.
Scary thought. Talking to an AI of Aristotle. That would actually spook me I think.
A similar thought occurred to me about a year or so ago, though I used the term "zero sum" universe "instead of "zero energy". I was really proud and impressed with myself, and my big, original-thinking brain. But then I looked it up, and discovered the theory had been proposed back in the 1940s. So that was a bit deflating, though I was still a tad proud of coming up with it myself. Although, even then, it's possible that I actually did come across it years earlier, and I only think I came up with it on my own.
No human knowledge is original to one individual brain.
You could come to the same conclusions, that's because human knowledge is shared and for you to find interest in something like space, stars, math and difficult concepts proves you can also come up with things. The same would be if you'd be hungry, you imagine yourself ex your favourite food or what you would eat before, but someone else already made it for you back then and now you're the one making it.
The process and answers could be similar or different. But the result is the same...but now it's been proven before...making it more true or interesting.
Depends on what universe you live in...😁
I cant get enough of this channel! 😊
Needed my JMG science fix. Thanks!!
Just made my Easter, JMG! Thank you for your dedication!
I always click on your videos as soon as I see them. Please never stop!
Your voice is perfect for these kinds of videos. Thank you for your insights good sir.
Thanks so much. Even on a holiday!!!
My daily dose of narrated sedation. Thanks JMG! ☺️
Thank you John. Always the best from You.
What a cool theory! Thanks for the awesome video :D
Fascinating subject! Thanks, John!!! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video!
Thanks for everything, much appreciated
What a gifted man! I really liked this.
Zero net energy....something I like to use to baffle those who state that the Universe came from nothing, and is something, therefore...
"But it contains nothing!" They get confused and go away because this is beyond them, leaving me alone. This is the intended result.
Just as the universe wanted!
What do you mean by that? Is there anywhere in the universe that is truly empty and contain nothing?
@@jalene150 can you point to anything that isnt? its all structure: stuff and nonstuff within a configuration. and any attempt to look at that substuff (or sub-nonstuff) results in a different thing that, itself, is made of more stuff and nonstuff. and examining *that* yields... all the way until we have to shrug our shoulders due to ignorance of the structure.
@@jalene150First of all, yes, there are countless voids. The largest void we know, the Böotes Void, may be an unremarkable one compared to the giants that lurk beyond the event horizon/observable edge. But more importantly, you misunderstood. The argument is that the universe contains negative energy and dark matter which adds up to a net mass-energy density of zero: therefore there is still nothing.
Just about to sleep perfect timing!
2:39 can we get a video on the one single time travelling electron??
Or have I missed that already
Thanks!
Thanks!
This is totally mind blowing ..I love how it bends my brain!!!
I love simple explanations
Another JMG brain exploding, mind expanding episode. I’d forgotten Wheeler’s “single electron” hypothesis. I had a PhD friend tell me about a “single photon” hypothesis back in the 70s.
Either way… mind blowing!
Keep on, keeping on, John. We all love you and your work.
what's a better time for a new JMG video? The answer is always: NOW.
Yes. However, does 'now' truly exist?
😊😂😂
the analogy of the hole and the hill relating to matter and dark matter blew my mind a little
I've been here since your Tabby's star videos...glad I joined the journey early.
I've been here since I used to bounce a baby John Michael on my knee I'd tell him "you're gonna go far kid".
There may yet be another Tabby's star video ...
John is the best!
I think that final note deserves more discussion. If "nothing" is endowed with the properties that allow something to form from it, then it's hardly nothing.
I like the hill-hole analogy, although this subject is hard to comprehend. Thank you, JMG, for another great, mind-travelling video and good morning from Athens, Greece,
@JohnMichaelGodier I Love Your Work! You’re not afraid to Reach For The Stars, but you always remember to stay grounded in reality. It’s the best ! ❤
Great video man !!!
That was a good one
This narration of yours coupled with the visuals reminded me of Foundation series by Asimov. When i was reading it as a child, i felt this kind of atmosphere surrounding the different stories. Nice channel.
I remember hearing the hypothesis that there is only one electron as a kid, and yes it was bizarre seeming, but it actually seems elegant to me now.
Keep it up jmg instant like every time
I refer to the late great Alan Watts:
"Wouldn't it have been so much simpler if nothing had ever happened?"
hey hey i'm going to bed early tonight
Im thankful that men like you exist. As long as man can dream, i have hope for our species.
We love you John!!!!!
You're the most awesome dude on UA-cam 🌌
Always good!
Ive been pondering this for some time, now I know its a known theory I'll find lots of research to dig through
Newtonian physics and pain receptors have taught me so much.
Longer videos would be cool too!! JMG is on top of the hierarchy.
I enjoy doing nothing from time to time. Unfortunately, there always seems to be something I have to do that cancels it out. Thanks for the video, John.
0:11 _"We get up, drive to work, eat lunch, and go home and watch some television."_
I don't _actually_ watch the TV, I just sit there eyeing it suspiciously, because of some JMG videos I had watched earlier (" o.o)
Every day JMG uploads is a great day
10:15 One is not referring to nothingness if it is unstable. Describing nothingness as unstable means there is something there. Good point at the end, "if something came from nothing is it even nothing to begin with"
Man, did you make through a video without saying “spooky,” “Oumuamua,” “anKshient,” or “Tabby’s Star”?
Ha Ha Ha! I always play JMG bingo with each video. Love your content!
I most certainly did not! I said spooky in this one.
Balancing energy to zero is an attractive idea.
Whether it is true or not is another matter, both figurativey and literally.
This answers alot of questions without diving into higher dimensions
The paradox of existence is actually that nothing IS something, by any definition.
LETS GOOO NEW JMG
Thank you for blowing up my head
I always find the "The universe just is - it doesn't need a cause" or "We can't know so it doesn't matter" answers to the question of something rather than nothing both unsatisfying and uncurious.
Thank you.
Expanding on this notion I've tended to take the view that the universe as we experience it exists as an 'attempt' to energetically balance being in a state of a false vacuum. It's interesting that the three* fundamental forces seem to be a 'reactive' consequence of this false vacuum, the denizens of the standard model being no more than a consequence of those forces. If we loose that false vacuum we loose everything else.
*Yes three fundamental forces. I strongly suspect that gravity (maybe all the other macroscopic qualities of the universe) is no more than emergent property of the macroscopic universe, just as 'highways' are an emergent property of Langton's Ant - it has it's own 'rules' (hence general relativity) but being emergent they can't be predicted from fundamental principles... and so the reason we will never combine quantum mechanics with relativity - they are fundamentally not the same thing AND we have yet to crack the mathematics of emergent systems.
As an aside I wonder if 'dark' matter and/or 'dark' energy (not necessarily related although they may be) are no more than further manifestations of a universe 'trying' to balance being in a false vacuum state - beyond wondering I have no clue how this may be. A matter of perspective we are currently missing, or another suite of forces and particles we have yet to apprehend... who knows..?
Nothing is better than a JMG video.
Awesome.
I will say this, our galaxy is conducive to life. Life exists at the absolute tiniest scale. It's all around us we just can't always see it. I'm also in the belief it's throughout the vacuum space. I enjoy most of your videos, whether I agree or not. Great job. Peace ✌️ 😎.
Many years ago I wondered at the possibility that, instead of countless electrons or 1 time travelling electron, there might be something more like a thin layer, sheet, or membrane - possibly even a dimension of its' own -where dimples would occur. When considered in tandem with the cross-cancelling energy perspective you mentioned, it might explain quantum entanglement.
The last podcast episode was great
Hey John, first off let me just say I love your videos & I am a long time fan. I’ve been with you since the Tabby’s star videos and it’s incredible to see how the channel has grown.
Now I know this isn’t your usual content but I would like to ask you to take a serious look at the case for God. Based on some of the questions you brought up in this video, I would like to offer my perspective. I’m by no means a good theologian or scientist (but am a fairly decent engineer I think!) and I would ask you to look into this all for yourself.
Nothing doesn’t just become something, and the universe definitely had a beginning. Therefore there must have been a cause, and that cause exists outside of time and space. That cause must also have made a decision (because an eternal ‘Causer’ doesn’t make a universe without making a decision, because to be eternal means also to be unchangeable, so in order for the ‘Causer’ to make the change of nothing into something, there must have been a decision made by the Causer) meaning the cause is a personal being of some kind. A personal, eternal being who is not constrained by time and space like we are.
This is where I move away from the ‘top level’ theology stuff and more specifically into the case for Jesus Christ Himself. I could go on but I don’t want to make this comment too long, so I’m gonna jump straight into the deep stuff.
The simplest explanation for the account of Jesus’ resurrection is that Jesus Christ really did rise from the dead. Jesus really did exist and died on a cross under Pontius Pilate (proven by extra-biblical sources). The Gospels are reliable, historical documents which do not contradict each other and have many undersigned coincidences. The people of the time had nothing to gain by proclaiming Jesus as God and everything to lose, but they did so anyway because of what they had seen. If you look at the Gospels with humility, an open mind and a desire for the truth (which I know you have John) then I believe you will come to the same conclusion I did. If you don’t, that’s fine & I’d love to hear your perspective regardless.
When I found Jesus to be the truth, He was the last thing I was looking for or expected, but I looked at the evidence fairly and without pride, and could not deny that it is truth.
I know all of you reading this comment are people like me. Truth seekers, intelligent, rational, logical people. You probably all have preconceptions about Jesus and Christianity. All I would ask is that before you become concerned with whatever difficult Christian theories you have heard in the past, first consider throughly and with humility the evidence for Christs resurrection.
‘Before Abraham was, I AM’ - John 8:58
I wouldn't make a video on it for a very specific reason, but I can give you my perspective. The reason is quite simple. There are two possible ways to envision a god. You can see them like the Romans and Greeks, where they were nature gods part and parcel to the natural world. Zeus throwing lightning bolts and the like. The other is how most of the current major world religions see it. A supernatural god. The nature gods just turned out to be nature, so there's nothing there. The ancients just didn't know how lightning works. But with a supernatural god, then that specifically implies a god that does not exist in nature, but above it. That you can't test in science by definition, so it leaves an open question. Perhaps that's by design. The closest I can come to it are things like the apparent fine-tuning of the universe, simulation theory and other such things, but I can't take it on directly because I can't provide any supporting evidence to make a claim.
My perspective is that I believe in the god of Spinoza, as did Einstein. The sum of all of the natural laws of the universe can be seen as God, and I can observe and understand those laws. And they are laws, that counts for something. And it leaves open the possibility that it is not an unthinking process, but a coherent one. Therefore I leave the option open for god. And remember, Christianity's foundation was on the concept of the bible not being the sole revelation, but nature and tradition as well being equal revelations. Seemingly only the orthodox and catholics still remember that part, but it was the rule for all before the protestant reformation. But I wouldn't go into that on the channel because my own personal viewpoint on it is irrelevant and no better than anyone else's and I could never back any of it up. And the old rule, never discuss religion or politics, especially to an audience that spans the whole of all of it and are at odds with each other.
What I can't do is follow someone's book or take their word for it. I grew up in organized religion, Christianity, and left it specifically because I realized it was just a bunch of people saying "believe this" handing me a book written by dead people that I can't interview and question telling me to believe them. They presented that book as evidence. It's not, it's some people's accounts saying they saw something. My brain just doesn't work that way, I can't consider that evidence, and I don't require an owner's manual for life, so there ultimately isn't anything in it for me. It works for some people, I understand that and people are welcome to believe whatever they want, but I lack the underpinning reasons people are drawn to a religion. I don't have those needs, and I am highly skeptical that any human ever born had any actual insight on god, if one exists, because the universe as a creation makes no sense if they do. It only makes sense when you're not supposed to know, or creation would have been designed for it to be unambiguously known. Nature isn't that way however. Without that, it just becomes a senseless game that god plays with its creations. I do not wish to bother with such a god, or meet it in a dark alley. Whereas if it remains a total unsolvable mystery that can only be explored inside one's self and not from the contents of a book and importantly it cannot be conveyed to anyone else, then it begins to resemble a plan.
Even the ability to read the book is ambiguous. Very very few people in this world can actually read the bible in context, and before recently most people couldn't read it at all and were getting the stories from pastors and pictures and statues. I definitely can't do that. You'd need to be able to read three ancient languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek .... in the forms they were in the 1st century. I would only consider believing something if I read those languages personally, and one I do, and it's not going to translate perfectly into English. Even the Latin vulgate, which I can also read, doesn't quite match up with an English bible. So that's it for me, without that, I can't do it. But even if I had that, I'd still be concerned about 2000 years of humans copying it, especially early on, the choices made in the compilation of the bible - much was left out, some we have apocryphally, some are lost, some were condemned but we don't entirely know why and so on. And some were thought to be good, but are in question now, the big one there being Revelations which wasn't written by who they thought it was when the bible was compiled. Then I'd then be concerned about trusting observers at all, especially ancient ones that didn't fully understand how the world around them worked. And finally, I'd be concerned why a deity that wanted to make itself known set it all up in such a horrifically messy way.
@@JohnMichaelGodier Thanks so much for such a detailed reply! Really appreciate your perspective.
I totally agree that the audience of this channel probably spans every political and religious view out there.. maybe not the best place to take a definitive side😅
Thanks John, can’t wait for the next video.
Nothing can't become something without time, which is something.
Monday mornings I subscribe to the zero energy theory!
Giving new meaning to "nothing is impossible"
This has been a kind of theory I had played around with for a while myself. The Big Bang's problem that a lot of people have is "something can't come from nothing." But I believe perhaps we don't understand just exactly what 'nothing' is - and perhaps 'nothing' has more properties than we are aware of. It sounds counterintuitive, but hang on for a minute. Nothing is basically defined as undefined. How can you define how much nothing something is? You simply can't, which is why most the times when you divide by 0 it's undefined. My argument is nothing and infinity are linked together. Infinity has no beginning or end. It goes on forever and ever. Nothing *could* go on forever and ever too, would that not make nothing infinite if so? Infinite nothingness?
For the visual learners, imagine space was limited and our observable universe that we see, ~100 billion light years is all there is. Then, is the outside area outside of the observable universe true nothingness....for infinity? Wouldn't it have to be, if that's the edge of our universe, even if there's other universes in their own bubbles, this nothingness *could* extend forever and ever. And how could you create an imaginary border around nothing and say that's all there is to nothing? You can't! So nothing never ends. Thus it is infinity in a sense. Maybe nothing and infinity are more linked than we think, and maybe nothing has properties we don't know about. Maybe nothing isn't as it appears.
Halloween came early, LFG!!!
Never listen to these in the morning as they will do your head in. Perfect just before you go to sleep though. Best sleep medicine ever!!!!
Newtonian Physics , like dropping an Easter Egg !
Isaac Asimov wrote an article on this idea back in the early 50s! "The Books Gotta Balance!" His argument for the negativeness of gravitational energy is quite interesting. Say you want to remove the potential gravitational energy between two bodies, how would you do it? Move one an infinite distance away. And how much energy would it take to do that? An infinite amount. And at the end of this your potential gravitational energy is...zero!
Ive never thought about gravity being the opposite force to energy. But i like it
7:22 Doesn't gravity propagate infinitely - just getting weaker with distance?
Eg.: we're getting pulled off by every distant twinkling star we see in the night sky (by _all_ matter actually; we're even getting pulled off by each other, just more delicately as we're so small) - it's just that the star we see pulling us off in the daytime, is _sooo_ much closer that it's big tug drowns out all those other little tugs - _but those enthusiastic little tugs are all still there._
If so, how could there _not_ be enough gravity (-) to cancel out matter and energy (+)? Both matter & energy are possibly finite, whereas gravity is possibly infinite.
Who needs drugs when there's astrophysics? :)
