Honestly thank you youtube algorithm. This played in the background on autoplay. I thought it was a re-upload of something that had aired on television. This is amazing quality content.
i only wish the editor had a better understanding of dynamics- the music gets really loud or quiet all of a sudden sometimes or it changes in a jarring way yk?
Thank you for all that you do. This channel, along with your sister channel History of the Earth, have genuinely helped me through some difficult times the last year or so. Sometimes its just nice to remember how unimaginable it is that we are lucky enough to be here in the first place. Much love.
This video is an absolute masterpiece. The hypothetical story, history, and science, are tied together so well that I have no words to describe it. Please accept my standing ovation!
These videos, along with the History of the Earth ones, are probably the best produced and highest quality on UA-cam. Not only beautifully presented and narrated, it has this almost poetic quality. Then there is the shocking mind-expanding content, like undergoing a form of deep meditation. Bravo!
I found the concept of future civilizations trying to buy time was somewhat saddening, because to what end? And the implication of absolutely no heat or light; nothingness and unending non-existence implying no history recorded of any past, in any way anywhere, quite unnerving. Don't some physicists imply that information is eternal?
Of all the channels I've seen on UA-cam, this is probably the best. And of all this channel's videos I liked this one the most. With its stellar amount of content, perfectly executed presentation and calm narration it is a joy to watch. Even though I already knew about many of the things it touches, there was not a moment I was not on the edge of my seat. Everything is so nicely embedded into the history of discoveries. I wish there were videos like these 30 years ago. Had I watched them back then when I was young I very well might have chosen a different career path... Thank you for making utterly brilliant videos!
I think many of us feel the same. Thus channel does indeed ignite passion in science. At age 70 and with three careers under my belt I wish I had time to pursue a fourth. Physics.
According to the video there were videos like this 30 years ago. Mr Donovan, please begin your fourth career of physics. We all need your contributions. I am also not young and have rekindled my attempt at understanding higher maths. If it were all geometric I'd be okay. With so many free resources to learn previously isolated subjects, each human who chooses ignorance is truly lost.
Out of all the masterpieces this channel releases, this episode truly stands out. Through the music, the writing, and the narration...how this episode conveyed the eventual darkness that everything in our universe will meet is of the highest quality. Utterly terrifying but at the same... enlightening. Bravo!
its sad that a bit of dramatic music and a faux authorative narration has you all brainwashed. as usual science wallows in its pretence of omniscience. as someone who died in their last life at 22 and remembered it in this life, i can tell you for definite this universe is not all there is.
Dude. 3:05 "...questions to which Einstein's theories only begin to answer." How on earth do you excuse grammar like that as good script-writing? Because it's read with a British accent? And that's only one example of many, taken from the first three and a half minutes of this turkey.
I really love the style too, that they maintain a single narrator the entire time. A lot of these shows like to throw in random physicists sitting in their office talking for a couple of minutes here or there -- keeping a consistent narrator for everything, even to read quotes from others, really smooths it out and ensures the message is well constructed and organized from moment to moment.
@@gaminawulfsdottir3253 Grammar? Where is the grammatical mistake in that sentence? Enlighten us, please! Is it the style rather than the grammar that you have an issue with? And where are the many more mistakes in the first 3 and a half minutes? I'd be happy if you could just quote a few. Maybe 2 or 3 more? Thanks in advance ☺️ Oh, and you might want to have a second look at your spelling of Einstein 😊 Einstein 👍 Eistein 👎
@@8mileshigh (Thanks for the catch about Einstein; corrected.) If I have to point out the mistake in that sentence, you'll probably just respond that it's not a mistake, or that it's too trivial to take issue with, or that it's a "style" issue (it's not), but it reads: "...questions to which Eistein's theories only begin to answer." At first glance it should be obvious that the writer started out to write one sentence but switched in the middle to end up writing another; it should have said, either "...questions which Eistein's theories only begin to answer..." or "...questions to which Eistein's theories only offer the beginnings of answers..." or some such variation. TR;DR version: there are too many "to's" in that phrase; one ANSWERS a question; one presents an answer to a question; but one does not answer TO a question. There are other spelling and wording issues; I am done with this channel and am not going to revisit it to dredge them up for you. Consider them exercises for the reader. If you can't catch them or just don't care, no amount of explanation my part will be anything but wasted. My overall impression from this and other offerings is that, while this channel boasts shiny production values, its cultured-sounding narration is laid over careless and inaccurate writing, and it does not deserve the gushing praise that other commenters have posted here.
in the last several years of watching physics and cosmology lectures on youtube, this is the first one that explained the logical leaps that lead to our current theories of the universe. the impression i've gotten before is that einstein and all the others were some sort of crazy geniuses that came up with fantastical assumptions that happened to be correct. it was very refreshing and grounding to actually be able to follow the how and why these ideas came about
Mesmerizing. One can’t help but appreciate the brilliant minds of both philosophers and physicists, and how their different approach to seek answers complement each other.
Time we measure, and we use it to measure the speed of light in seconds. The weirdest thing is that we are an assembled collection of particles from the beginning of time but each form we are assembled into is for only a portion of time. How many previous forms have your particles been assembled into? Have your particles been in dinosaurs, volcanoes, the primordial soup? Maybe your particles were in several places at the same time, perhaps some were animals, plants, rocks, lakes, ocean, at the same time? Incredible that DNA can assemble those particles into every life form that has ever existed. And that all DNA are related. And that DNA itself is also particles. So what created DNA? These are a wonderful series of science videos that raise philological thoughts. There really are very very good.
And whats crazy is that we can go go even beyond that. What created the particles, what do our particles lie on, what created that? What created the platform we are in...and on and on. It almost feels like there is an onion where we are creating worlds (simulations) to understand our own world and in the future, the simulations we create could create new simulations to understand themselves, etc. Its certainly possible that every single conscious being ever existing in a multiverse does not know their own origin and the particles that make up you and me are all pieces of the same past and future. Quite literally, our perspective is the year 2022, but our particles have already experienced the past and future and our minds are just moments of minute time. Assuming our theories are correct, we genuinely are nothing more than particles trying to understand ourselves. Its why i want to be cremated when i pass. Let my particles flow freely again and become something new. No need to keep then trapped in a box of slow decay under soil
"We are stardust." Also remember that your particles aren't even always the same. Most of our cells grow and reproduce and die, so we're constantly absorbing and shedding atoms. Many of the particles that make up you today weren't part of you months or years ago.
I find it amazing that human beings continue to deny that the Universe was formed by a Creator. Our minds are finite as our lives. The secrets of the universe lie within the mind of its Creator. The secrets won't be revealed to man, but the manifestations are clearly seen for all to wonder. That in itself is marvelous! The Bible mentions, that GOD placed "time and eternity in the hearts of man, so that he wouldn't know how short his life really is...
@@avamodesto2839 I find it amazing people still believe in fairy tales, i.e. god. There are numerous indications that god is a made up story. There's absolutely no evidence an invisible magic man floats in the sky. God is in the same category as bigfoot, mermaids and the loc ness monster just to name a few. In fact, god is the biggest con in human history.
This series, its content, presentation, the way of explaining such complex ideas is PURE GOLD! Forged right in the supernovae of the production of this series. Can't wait to see next episode as usual. Thank You !!!
The immediate existential dread upon hearing the last line... Masterclass writing! These are amazing videos, with great content and wonderful presentation, keep up the great work.
These are less UA-cam videos and more science documents that any serious science or documents channel would be proud to broadcast. This is what the BBC would have produced in it heyday. Thanks again for your tireless work.
I love how he shares a relatable historical Quote [From a renowned physicist/scientist/astronomer/etc] within the opening 5 minutes of each video that pertains to the topic
*This last civilization is not doomed to die. You see, in the year 7,040,099,620,137 AD, this civilization invented the tri-spatial multi-spasmodic negulizer beam that opened up a cross-dimensional doorway into countless alternate universes, by which the last of their people escaped. And they found paradise on the other side: a tropical planet in which they now lounge all day against the starry, sunlit heavens.* 🌳🌴🌴🌴🌴🌳🌳🌴🌴🌴🌴
@@wallisswissrents-4249 Well, it's pretty fundamental, and it isn't a theory. Space has no physical properties, therefore, it is nothing, and nothing cannot distort. Time is nothing more than a measurement of motion. Space time is science fiction. Anyone who has studied a little bit of Physics knows this.
I am but a humble truck driver, always looking for something interesting to listen to to keep my imagination moving while the wheels turn. This channel was a wonderful find!
I love how this came full circle from Leibnitz claiming that space and time don't exist and Newton being opposite to that, to our current understanding that space and time truly might not exist.
To those who are just starting to study this topic, this video might seem "amazing" and "award worthy", however taking into account all the science that humanity has collected to this point, and the philosophical knowledge,,, this video touches upon only a small portion of information. But MOST importantly, it leads in the wrong way, leading people to spend their time thinking "Oh my goodness, what is space, what is time, they are so myphterious, are they even real", (this is childish), but the more important questions are: " how the mind makes sense of everything? what is life? what kind of person are you? how to better oneself?" If we get caught up in the physics, which are secondary, we are lost. Physics are the result, and we need to go to the source. The source is consciousness, awareness, the Mind. If you want to block a river, you do not do it at the waterfall, but at the source. The MIND or consciousness gives point and sense to everything, so THEORIES, and these are ONLY theories, of "relativity, or is time real?", blah blah, will just waste your life. And everyone who has studied this for some time, knows that time is not important, it is relative, and just a tool for measuring, it is used to make life easier in society, in cities... , But, it is worthless in Nature, there is no BIG ass secret as the author presents it, about time. Space, and the passage of space, that is the real mystery, but even more mysterious is, "who are We in this great calculus of life" and what you do with your life, what kind of person you are and how you make yourself better
To call this powerful is a vast understatement. The production quality brought the brilliantly constructed script to life. I am so thankful my timeline brought me to view this physical and philosophical masterpiece.
The presentation and content of this channel is truly the best on the platform. My favorite part is how the ideas of advanced topics are presented without having to do immense personal study.
@@christopherbentley6647 Okay. I mean that's a really unproductive, nonspecific, unnecessarily negative, oddly presumptuous, and frankly childish reply to a comment that was strictly positive on a video that's strictly educational, but okay.
@@christopherbentley6647 I don't disagree with you at all that people are getting dumber; they certainly are, for myriad reasons. I just think that this particular comment on this particular video was an exceptionally strange and out of place choice for expressing that opinion. Clearly people watching a video such as this are the type who have an interest in science and the pursuit of knowledge, and it's not like relativity and quantum mechanics are simple or rudimentary subjects that appeal to the general public. So how is it that you've deduced that comments of praise like mine are misguided by a lack of intelligence? Furthermore, how could you possibly presume to know whether or not people a generation ago would have enjoyed something like this if they were smarter? I'm not following your reasoning in the slightest.
@@christopherbentley6647 to be clear, I agree with everything you're saying. Again, just not sure how this video or my original comment are at all related to any of it.
I can testify to both of you as a consumer of television and radio from the late 1960’s that this production is of a level that was rarely or never seen for those 50 years. If there had been something like it, it would have been on public television and a lot of people would have enjoyed it. Johnny Lunchpail and Sally Housecoat then as now would likely have not tuned in.
“They had manipulated space… they had mastered time…but they could not defeat them” Expertly and seamlessly narrated but perhaps leaving us with more questions than answers. Thank you Sir
@@zdcyclops1lickley190 I was using magic as a synonym for “wonder”, though even if I weren’t, magic is in fact not the opposite of science. In fact, in just about any fantasy setting WITH magic, that same magic would be able to be defined as science within that setting. “Magic” in the fantasy sense defines a system of powers and abilities which are still dictated by some sort of “system”. Science, on the other hand, defines a method of categorizing and understanding the world around us. If that world had magic, the categorization and study of said magic would still be science.
These videos are just utterly incredible - I cannot believe I don’t have to pay tons for a box set. Amazing concept choices, narrative, visuals, just brilliant ❤🎉
Very impressive documentary! I am currently developing a book, trying to tie modern physical theories into a coherent scifi fantasy univerese. As you can imagine it is difficult to come up with logical solutions to the questions modern physics struggle with. Let alone knowing what the most pressing questions are. And this is what this documentary helped me tremendously with. I think I won a better understanding even of my own universe. Thank you
To keep in mind, the vibrational universe is periodical as a function. It's limits are where motion starts, and the speed of light, the fastest it can move before it no longer produces tactile matter that respons to time ,space and gravities. Faster or slower, it is potential or kinetic energy that permeates instantaneously. Leads to what we are calling entanglement and the quantum slice tomography that exposes the Fourier Effect on the whole at this exact moment of now.
Almost poetical. Super. Prefer to follow - the vibrations - inwardly (via meditation). - thoughts - then deeper into subtlety - vibrations - then deeper. Eventually, it is - the Absolute - no particles or movement. (Hint from Raja Yoga) The Real Being .... May it be so. Fare thee well. @@johnruge1218
The last time my toes were woobling like that was during the Feynman's lectures on physics. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Every episode is a mindblowing escape towards reality. Thanks.
An excellent video! No speculation, no theories. Only facts and real historical data. I really appreciate this video after writing my book, "Infinity, Time, Death and Thought.
I just want to say that this is the 3rd or 4th video in a row I've listened to while working and the quality is beyond stellar (ha get it). Space and science is one of my favourite personal passions I reserve to myself and listening to these has been a gem. Thank you.
I hope you make a part 2 to this, as the subject matter is abundant. Truly educational in all aspects, I had no idea that it was Galileo that first proposed relativity I thought it was Einstein. I particularly like how you give mention and credit to the unsung scientists.
It really is quite fascinating isn't it? The book "Dialogue of Two Worlds" is quite a famous book and the absolute definition of space and time is actually called the Galilean transformation thus showing how Galileo was the first to propose a theory of relativity. Einstein's Special Relativity relies on the Lorentz Transformation instead where a specific speed has to be held constant in every reference frame.
Great documentary! Your explanation on past, present, and future made me think of the famous scene from “Spaceballs” where Dark Helmet and the officers were watching a video of them watching a video and arguing over what is “now.”
Loved how some specific subjects can destroy your brain, like: time, gravity (and what is a "force"), visualizing an object in "higher" dimensions, conceiving infinity, the end of your own perception. Compare to those, understanding how our own brain works seems like a peace of cake, yet we still don't know that one either.
In what regards do we not know how the human brain works. Considering tons of successful brain surgery’s have been done I’m not sure you know what your talking about.
I like to think about the fact that in spite of these of these difficult and sophisticated considerations nature has just imprinted into us the simple notions of time and space. In our everyday life we don't need to analyse them, we can feel them, and even enjoy them, and that's a marvel itself.
Exactly. If you end dwelling on these notions of time and space to hard , It will end up killing you. Just look what it did to these fellows.... All Dead...Gone...Expired...Bye !
Your scripting is fabulous. I want to imagine you labour for long hours musing over the right phrase, the right word. I often think everyone does thing the same way as I do. Skirting philosophy and history and the ideas and processes that bind them into one story. Like James Berk, you sir are a steely eyed missile man. Letting us all know about that day the universe changed. thank you.
If light itself cannot escape a black hole, could a black hole be spinning every direction at once? And if so, could that omnidirectional spin be a factor in how other things interact with one. Also, has anyone ever considered that we are inside a black hole right now?
Yes. The inside of a black hole would be a white hole, the exact opposite of a black hole. A white hole would look a lot like what we call the big bang, and as far as we can tell it's only happened once in our universe.
what would it even mean to spin in multiple directions at the same time? Take a marble. Spin it. Try to envision it rotating simultaneously in the opposite direction. Let me know what that looks like, because otherwise I don't think your post makes sense. Also, what does the spinning have to do with whether or not light itself can escape a black hole? What I mean is, if you started your post, "If light *CAN* escape a black hole, could a black hole be spinning every direction at once?" maybe the non-sequitur is more recognizable that way...? please advise...
Time isn't a 'thing' like matter. It is a measurement that was originally based on the movements of planets, both the revolution of the earth giving us days, the movement of the moon giving us months, and the movement of the earth around the sun giving us seasons and years. Measurement. It allows us to predict what will happen and when if we have the other variables of an equation. Working out the correct equation is the challenge and the genius. General relativity.
We are so fortunate to be living in that point in spacetime where one can watch and enjoy such brilliantly done videos on space, time and cosmology. Thanks for preparing and sharing an obsorbing masterpiece.
This was so........exquisitely done! The research, the simplicity of language, the order and the relationship of idea, information visuals ...EVERYTHING...into a cohesive flow. Even the narration was at perfect speed and intonation. You made something very complex and scientific sound soothing and spiritual😂. Im hooked already, just subscribed....so happy I stumbled across this. Thank so much for your absolute artistry towards your work.🤗
This is only answering 1 question. With every answer comes many more questions..Folks who say we almost have it figured out.. lol.. No we dont..Great video guys..👍👍👍💯
What… in… the… universe is this video? One of the best videos about the Universe I’ve ever watched. The quality in all levels is just above all expectations. Beautiful. Thank you.
Love what you do, I constantly find myself checking your channel for a new upload! I've only gotten 2 hours of sleep today, but I'll watch the whole thing. I'm barely 2 minutes in and I can already tell that this video will be fantastic.
An interesting postulation for space and time. I hope others are stimulated into the studies of sciences and mathematics. Thank you for helping me enjoy the "PRESENT". Liebniz's scientific postulations were from a metaphysical approach which has been mostly abandoned, but hopefully not forgotten.
Mathematically a problem with Many Worlds is "where does the energy to produce the branching universes come from?" What many fail to explain is that a consequence of the equations properly applied is that there is no branching out, that's pop science: ALL possible timelines have always existed! That's much easier to understand if there is no time at all. The "Big Bang," the present, and the future death of the universe all happen simultaneously. Since we're trapped inside this universe and subjected to its gravity, we perceive spacetime. For an external observer, outside this universe, however, the entire thing is tiny and exists for a tiny instant. That would also explain dark energy: particles that seem to emerge from nothingness for a tiny fraction of a femtosecond. To us, they pop out of nowhere in the deepest recesses of our space. But for creatures trapped inside such tiny, fast events, they are entire universes, huge and lasting for eons.
Don't matter really because many worlds is just pseudoscientific nonsense. Its the definition of Scientific laziness. Its used because it is easier, not because of correctness. Newtonian gravity is easier also but we don't use that when attempting precise calculations as it fails. Many worlds clearly demonstrates much that is wrong with Modern physics. It is a disease.
There was a few theories that I came across, where if put together you would come across something similar to. Supposing that everything always moves at a constant velocity through space time, and using a unit circle to describe your movements through space and time, that as more of the velocity is moved from time to one of the spacial direction then the less you would move through time causing time dilation. And if we suppose that time was the 4th dimension, then the only thing special about time is that we by default are moving through it at the speed of causality. The reason why we experience time and the reason why looking at lights perspective is not valid would be the same thing because we would be moving through the time dimension at the speed of causality the length of that dimension would be contracted to zero becoming an unacceptable spacial dimension, the reason why from lights perspective would seem invalid is because one of our regular spacial dimensions would be contracted to zero. And if it weren't for the rest of reality moving through the time dimension with a high relative velocity then it wouldn't move through time as we know it, like how sending air into fast flowing wind causes it to be dragged along with it where the speed the photons would possess to us would be how much the rest of things moving through spacetime could effect the things around it. Where moving from that, the big bang would basically be (0,0,0,0) where energy would be able to move freely in all dimensions upon release but the instant that direction was chose it would be set, meaning that there would be no difference between moving backwards or forwards in time under the consequences of physics, but the effect of overcoming the constant velocity of everything around you in the time dimension would require that you entirely divert the velocity from your time dimension before would be able to divert it entirely which would require an exponential amount of energy to do so running into the the two things i don't know how to spell off the top of my head about the permeability of space which goven the speed of causality, so because everything else is all mostly uniform in the direction it is moving through spacetime you would require an infine amount of energy to move fast enough to be able to divert to the other direction of time due to running into an exponentail amount more space moving perpendicular to you, so moving in the opposite direction to us now makes sense in the context of everything else in space moving in that same direction. Which is would basically be the same as us now but with a different dimension or direction serving as our classical time. Would also explain what takions or whatever things are that move faster than light are, just being something where one of our spacial dimensions where the effects of the perpendicular movement of our part of space-time doesn't apply but retains at least some of the moment imparted by it's creation. But in the context of this, the arrow of time is basically how all the energy tied in energy or mass is effected by everything else velocity of all other energy moving through spacetime, and why would space itself carry the momentum for the flow of time, well due to the fact of zero point energy. If all energy including zero point energy retained the momentum of the directional velocity which would be time in this case that would be the greatest cause of why it's so hard to overcome, the fact that anything moving through a particular area of space would encounter this zero point energy would cause a continuous drag in the direction of which it's velocity was due to it interfering with the constant velocity it the object had. Like how light entering another medium the superposition caused by the electrons in the material can cause the positions of the crests of light to be dragged back or forward therefore closer or further apart, a similar thing could be happening with zero point energy and everything else, the constant velocity of zero point energy through spacetime causing an effect that superimposes onto other energy causing everything to be draged just a bit in the time dimension, consentrations of areas of higher energy being effected less due to that drag having less of an overall effect, causing time to run slower, and things moving fast in terms of relativistic speeds having enough of their constant velocity through spacetime diverted to cause time to slow from an outside perspective, but to them time would still be moving at normal speed due to running into the equivilent amount of zero point energy induced drag. This would also say stuff about there being particals that wouldn't be effected by the drag of the zero point energy but I'm just going to leave that for now. But yeah, if we are talking about universal symmetries then why wouldn't the universe be symetric
Which basically takes us back to what would be described as a "river", ie.: time and space and all of its corresponding "perspectives", of particals (even at the molecular, and quantum levels, "relative" in, and to it, no?
I usually never comment on any video with UA-cam. And personally I like watching this channel as my top channel. Helps me learn alot too! But of all the videos this channel ever produced. This by far is probably the best episode of any program I have ever seen in my 45 years of interest in this topic. In fact it is so good, and if you are a science person, it will make you shed a tear at the very end until the credits roll. I have never experienced that ever in a science program. Maybe close with Carl Sagan. And you truly can be compared to Carl Sagan today, over any other person who tries to express or explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Or Space and Time. It is one thing that makes you sit back and wonder about the God of the Gaps. Is it truly possible, there is a God in how we have been created from nothing? Only with this episode, I had that thought pass in my mind. Weird. I never expected it. And I'm not some religious guy either I can tell you that for sure. But as Proximo said in the movie Gladiator. "We are shadows and dust"! How true this will be in our future. And to understand that even the hint of space and time may not even exist, but only from our perspective. Is intriguing. Hmm? And even better yet. Your explanation of Relativity, and Space and Time, is now meaningful to me. I always had a tough time grasping the full concept and piecing it together. But you opened my mind of thinking again. And you were able to explain it, in a way, that it became simplistic to truly understand in the end. I truly hope a part 2 is being made. And that it rides off the back of this episode. Not to mention, I quadrupole(and more) watch all your videos. Can't get enough! Good job Mate! This channel is definitely on a good path in our time.
I'm of the mind that studying the cosmos leads one toward a belief in God and that the more we learn, the more evident that fact becomes. It's not just the gaps, but the knowledge and discoveries that serve as evidence of God. I would be happy to cordially discuss / debate this further if you'd like. In the meantime, stay well out there, and God bless you, friend. ✝️ :)
@@Numba003 I agree with you. In fact, I have studied Theology for quite some time as well. And find it fascinating how religions have become what they are today. Though I may be more in belief of the Abrahamic faiths personally. And not a devout follower as I should be. And when we as humans approach the mysteries of the Universe. The unexplained ends up as "God of the Gaps". As only God would know the answer in its meaning. Which brings to mind the Atheist belief, over my belief and yours. My answer to so many Atheists is this. "You may win and there was no God. Or. I may win, because there was a God. So, what do I have to lose? I win in both directions. It is just us. We see ourselves as the ever-conquering creature. Who is above all. Animals with a gift of conscience, and self-awareness. But we are so insignificant, so miniscule in the timeline of even our planet, let alone the universe. Imagine your own passing in this world. All your memories, your laughs, your studies of great leaders, your children and families, and your feeling of a happiness, and sadness, and the feeling of a warm sun on a cool day. Is so insignificant. It will all come to an end. Even the history of our entire human civilization, every great thinker, or leader, from the dawn of man until the future of mankind that moves on. All animals and plants and microbes that ever lived will come to an end. We are just a ball of atoms, assembled by our sun’s ingredients, assembled in a order of creation that has form. And in such a small amount of time. It will all end! It's kind of sad really. So Imagine this. You are on a beach alone with a pale. The pale has 1 grain of sand in it. And you look left and right as you hold that pale. And you only see an endless beach of sand until the eye can't see it anymore. The pale in relation to the beach is just the timeline of the planet earth you know of. The grain of sand is the timeline of all living things we know of today in that pale. The beach is the timeline of the universe. But it has one problem. The beach isn't anywhere near the size of the timeline of the universe. There is about 5 sextillion grains of sand on all the beaches on earth. About 6 sextillion cups of water too. And the universe will be here for 100 Trillion years from now. Or maybe even more. Our insignificance is well defined. But to have a glimmer of hope, can be comforting. And take away the sadness for now.
@@synologyonline Thank you for your response and your cordiality my friend. I am a Christian myself. Have you ever read the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible? Your response is similar in some ways, albeit more thoroughly scientifically and statistically written. It's about how very small we are, how little we know, and how meaningless so much of our time spent is when viewed from a purely naturalistic perspective. And yet, for all that, I find it an optimistic book when it contemplates the existence of God and some of His character. We are but a small blip that cannot possibly understand all of Creation, so it is best to serve God and accept that the One who created everything is all powerful and all good. As such, everything will work out okay for those who follow Him, even if it doesn't always seem to from our little perspective. My own life has been forever changed for the better since I gave my life to Christ.
@@Numba003 Well, Don't take this the wrong way. Please don't. Just my own thinking. Personal opinion. As my online buddy. Ecclesiastes? I've read all Old and New Testament literature. Quranic, and Jewish as well. Ecclesiastes, was Old Testament literature, and it was believed to be written by Solomon. And such a mystical person he was with his magical ring. He was able to tame daemons to work for him. And yes. Many anecdotes in Ecclesiastes talk about a very similar topic as here in this UA-cam video, and comments. Though it may be Islam that tends to be more scientific of any of the Abrahamic faiths. In fact more I think more scientists have a tendency to convert to Islam. Not that I am Islamic. I just read all the books that all have written. And review the scholarly view points of the 3 faiths. Now. If you really study alot of theology, like I do. Christianity,,,,weeeeellll,,,,,,, is probably the least religious group to consider. The most divided religious group too. The same group that not even a single person of its faith has ever in history followed the teachings about the person for which its book was written for. The faith has been so molded over time since it's inception. Its really hard to tell if even it is Christianity anymore. Even modern churches are again molding the whole faith again with LGBTQ into the fold. And even pointing out words and emphasizing them as to their cause. I can hear the preacher now! "Join our church as we accept all, even You, the LGBTQ people. God loves you"! This is just one example that exists of the many changes man makes in a religion to get people in. And I think Canada passed a law not long ago about the bible as a Myth. Geez a law about the Bible being a myth? The faith itself even molded old pagan holidays so as the Romans would love it even more, and melt into more easily. i.e. Christmas, Hollows Eve, Easter, etc, etc. All with pagan origins. Even Jesus's very image. Long haired light skinned man in a robe with sandals. Why would anyone follow that, and accept those changes? I doubt that is a image of the Shazu/Habiru(Israelites) the Egyptians mentioned that came out of Africa and went to Canaan. Let alone modern Jews. When the real Jews all went extinct about 2000 years ago. But the world has been plagued and forced to believe otherwise. But think about that one. The answers been there all along for about 2000 years. The early days of Christianity started out as 2 groups. Well 1 actually, and then 2. 1-The Judeo-Christians(Jesus and his Followers). 2-The Pauline-Christians(the newly molded version of Devine Jesus as a son of God). The Judeo-Christians group was headed up by Jesus himself. And even Jesus's number 2 man his own brother were promoting the real teachings of Jesus's message, and the Mosaic Laws. And those teachings were only for the Jews. Nobody else. Paul would change this message for all later. Jesus's mission is to get the Jews back on track, and to follow the Mosaic law again. As so many had gone astray and corrupted. And so bribed by many Romans. Jesus was like a warning to the Jews of coming catastrophe if the Jews didn't change their ways. Now Paul is another story. He is very mystical. Out killing Christians one day. And then a follower(and leader) the next. In Fact we don't know anything really about Paul. He truly is a mystery. Scary guy actually. But Paul would take Jesus to a elevated level as a God. and son of God with salvation and forgiveness. And make him Devine. The Romans loved this too. As they had a faith too that didn't have salvation. And many accepted this Devine faith Paul started. And Paul's new faith really grew in popularity. In fact so big, they literally killed off all the original Judeo-Christians. That is Jesus, his brother James, and those early first followers of Jesus. And Yes. The Judeo-Christians were all killed off by the Romans. Because of Paul. Because Judeo-Christians had a message of Jesus for the Jews only, and getting back to the Mosaic laws. All died. All were killed off by Paul's group. In doing so. The Pauline followers had no competition, and their belief grew, grew, and grew, and became the Christianity we know today. Sad. All this is forgotten, or made to believe it wasn't true by so many churches today. Promoting a bible written 100's of years after Jesus. LOL! How would they know? They weren't even there. Book of Mark, maybe as it is the oldest of books. but rewritten as we see from the Dead Sea scrolls interpretations. Wait. It gets better. It's even believed that Paul and his followers even killed James. Jesus's own brother. Yes! Why do think James is only mentioned a couple times in the bible. And Paul mentioned over a hundred times? Because Paul needs to eliminate James belief about his brother Jesus, so the Romans don't persecute him for manipulating the people. And who would know better about Jesus than James his own brother. James the head of the Judeo-Christian Church after Jesus died. Yes. The very James, the one called "Old Camel Knees" for how much he prayed on his knees. Like other Abrahamic faiths do. Many, Theologians, believe that the passage of "Our Brother Steven" being clubbed and thrown down the stairs, was actually James, the brother of Jesus. And that Paul created that mob to kill James(Steven in the bible). Professor Eisenman believes this, and has proof. And if he is correct, and like many others believe he is(et.al). Paul literally murdered Jesus's brother to eliminate the competition. And promoted his version of a faith so many Christians would follow today. So much evidence to back that all up too. So I believe we need to look outside the box. Like even what this channel is doing. No single thing. I say, Don't be gullible. Be aware. And never fully convinced. Keeps the mind open. Ready to learn new. It prepares us to learn alot more as we expand our knowledge of our past, and our future. And we may, just may, find out that the true God of all 3 of those faiths was in there all along. Enjoy!
This video is amazing. I’ve been looking for an explanation like this for many years. Everyone always talks about Einsteins theories, but no one ever explains how he came to them (or they do so poorly). You did so succinctly and eloquently. Thank you 🙇
Watching this at 12:21am while laying in bed, my window cracked open to let the winter wind in and my laundry running letting out a clean scent; mixing the two smells into a comforting concoction. It’s my perfect night❤
Interesting connection between Energy and Information. People don’t normally articulate the etymology of ‘Information’ which is literally ‘In’ ‘Formation.
My brain was just starting to burst when you dropped Einstein saving Godel's application for citizenship by distracting him from pointing out the flaws in the constitution.. brilliant timing .
@@HistoryoftheUniverse Had a spontaneous giddy chuckle moment in work all to myself, thank you, love your work, can't imagine the amount research etc.. involved in producing these masterclasses of education, tip of the hat goes out to you.
These are great videos, a lot of history is revealed that is obscure and is left out of most literature of the subject matter. So much of Space, Time, Physics is almost 100% reliant on the human invention of Mathematics. You know, the creation of our minds which is based on how many fingers we have? And of course Time, another invention of the Human Race, so we know everything isn't happening all at once. I believe it's our own hubris which prevents some of the answers we seek, it's usually when we get out of our own way we accomplish so much. I have few regrets in how I have lived my life, but if I had known then what I know now, I would of tried harder in Math class. I have the time, now, that I am retired, to really dig into these subjects, but my ignorance of advanced mathematics, limits me at every turn. So I ponder these theories and thought experiments, always wondering, for now, it's good enough.
Our brilliant author here, Geraint F. Lewis, presents us with the most stunning science specials ever created. And true to his fashion, concludes his episodes with the most remarkable and poetic thoughts on science.
The most fundamental concept is that of possibility: all the states the universe could possibly be in form a set, a set that is partially ordered by the entropy of those states. Time is just the "direction" of that entropic ordering: two minimally-different possible states of the universe are before or after one another when one is more or less entropic than the other. (This does imply that there are multiple pasts and futures of any given state, but due to the nature of entropy there will necessarily be fewer pasts than futures, so "over time", following along that entropic ordering, pasts converge while futures diverge, which accounts for why the past seems fixed and the future seems wide open. This also implies that there is a "perpendicular direction" to the direction of time, consisting of all those states that are co-present with a given state, neither pasts nor futures of each other. Those are the superposed classical states within the universal wavefunction.) Space, then, being the most derivative of these concepts, is just the time it takes for a change to one part of the universe to propagate to another part of the universe.
Just, just just... "Just" accept that whatever fancy words you string together are truth with no evidence whatsoever. You're engaging in abstract philosophy, not science. You think all that's true? Wonderful. Now show us how all your woo-woo ideas could be DISproven by experiment, and let the physicists get to it. Or hush.
I remember in grade school, we did an experiment, where 2 watches were set to the same time, one was put in our classroom, another was run up to the top of a 25 story building and both second hands were started at the same exact second. A few days later, the watches were off by about 3 hours. Minds blown lol. Simple experiments like that as a child made science so cool to me and my friends lol, Videos about space and time always bring me back to that time. It was the first time I could understand just how much the force of gravity was influencing us besides keeping us from floating away. I hope im alive long enough to see the next big developments in quantum physics and space research and exploration.
What a great documentary! And being Dutch, Van Stockum is a big bonus and I will spread his name (on social media) for his accomplishments. Wow! Never knew a Dutchie actually discovered time travel
A journey - with many slices - knowledge/cheese . Sorry - a lame attempt at humour - using outdated archetypes - (this from a German meditator) What a situation, not so ? Fare thee well.
I see the pattern holds. Every LSD trip inevitably ends in me pondering infinities, and their implications, in the early morning hours. This channel is excellent. It is always the beacon of knowledge beckoning me back home from a journey spent poking at the endless seas of the infinities.
These videos are so interesting but his voice is so soothing that i stuggle to stsy awake all the way through! I end up rewatching them several times to understand a lot of the concepts anyways but i really hope i absorb a bit while I'm napping, lol!
My guess is that when the universe is dying out it will try to survive by contracting into one concentrated point and will most likely create another big bang and create another universe... which would also mean that the universe is stuck in a quantum loop. perhaps Black holes are the portals between these universes
No one explains the complexities of our universe quite like this channel. You make complex topics engaging and understandable. Keep up the amazing work.
Just rolled up a joint and I am engrossed in this. I will be watching for a very very long time. Just brilliant. The production quality and information is amazing. This is the perfect video for a perfect high.
Amazing video, though the hypothetical civilization in the intro would lose time around a black hole, not gain it. Because they'd be slowed relative to everything else, giving them much less time before the black hole dissipates while near it, than they would have further from it. The further away from any large sources of gravity they are, the more time they'll have relative to everything else, including the heat death of the universe.
Relatively speaking.......lol! Subjective time is the same everywhere but to all outside observers not within the gravity hole, they took the shortcut to the end of time wherein one lifetime might stretch out across the entire heat cycle.
@@PeckerwoodIndustries That's what I said, they end up with less time, less generations, if any, and may lose the black hole before they even die. The only reason I could imagine is if they don't have renewable energy and the black hole doesn't provide enough energy in time non-relative to the black hole.
The very advanced scientific topics taughted in a way that even a highschool student can understand is unbelievable! This was my first time watching this channel and I have got simply nothing but respect for the time and efforts you had to put in to making these videos. The least I could do is to leave a good feedback :)
I have always thought of time as a human construct and being relative to the human lifespan. It could be that your mythical civilization creates or finds a wormhole and could therefore continue in an infinite loop.
These video's are fantastic, I'm gonna get seriously stoned and watch this tonight.
Hahahahahaha me2
That sounds like the best way to watch this
First thing that comes to mind when these are uploaded 😂

Nice one bro
Space and time are best friends. The more time I spend with my best friends' mom, the more space in her mouth I fill with my hard buttered sausage.
And how the time drags!
Honestly thank you youtube algorithm. This played in the background on autoplay. I thought it was a re-upload of something that had aired on television. This is amazing quality content.

Hands down, this is the greatest hyper-massive black hole of all space channels. Its poetry meets physics, impeccable musical taste to boot.

Thank you for all that you do. This channel, along with your sister channel History of the Earth, have genuinely helped me through some difficult times the last year or so. Sometimes its just nice to remember how unimaginable it is that we are lucky enough to be here in the first place. Much love.

These videos, along with the History of the Earth ones, are probably the best produced and highest quality on UA-cam.
Not only beautifully presented and narrated, it has this almost poetic quality. Then there is the shocking mind-expanding content, like undergoing a form of deep meditation.
Bravo!
In the same league is SEA...
I found the concept of future civilizations trying to buy time was somewhat saddening, because to what end? And the implication of absolutely no heat or light; nothingness and unending non-existence implying no history recorded of any past, in any way anywhere, quite unnerving. Don't some physicists imply that information is eternal?
@@normangensler7380 I saw something recently which claimed that information is continuingly being lost.
@Julieta Solayao your comment drew my attention and then your profile introduced me to aridcrew and fexl. Thanks and happy new year!
Excatly. I'm glad someone mentioined History of the Earth. I've just watched "What Was The First Fungus?" and I found it amazing!
The part about "Forgetting" being the the core of entropy and what separates past and future was really meaningful to me. Good job!
I do not believe that "forgetting" expends energy. The Landaurer Limit is just a meaningless fabrication. Forget It!
Of all the channels I've seen on UA-cam, this is probably the best. And of all this channel's videos I liked this one the most. With its stellar amount of content, perfectly executed presentation and calm narration it is a joy to watch. Even though I already knew about many of the things it touches, there was not a moment I was not on the edge of my seat. Everything is so nicely embedded into the history of discoveries.
I wish there were videos like these 30 years ago. Had I watched them back then when I was young I very well might have chosen a different career path...
Thank you for making utterly brilliant videos!
I think many of us feel the same. Thus channel does indeed ignite passion in science. At age 70 and with three careers under my belt I wish I had time to pursue a fourth. Physics.
According to the video there were videos like this 30 years ago. Mr Donovan, please begin your fourth career of physics. We all need your contributions. I am also not young and have rekindled my attempt at understanding higher maths. If it were all geometric I'd be okay. With so many free resources to learn previously isolated subjects, each human who chooses ignorance is truly lost.
Is our solar system expanding?
@Richard Strach why even post, just keep your 💩opinion because you add nothing but misery.
Kosmos has left the chat
The guy who narrates Closer to Truth and this one are the top two on UA-cam...I dont know exactly why but I enjoy listening to them.
Out of all the masterpieces this channel releases, this episode truly stands out. Through the music, the writing, and the narration...how this episode conveyed the eventual darkness that everything in our universe will meet is of the highest quality. Utterly terrifying but at the same... enlightening. Bravo!
its sad that a bit of dramatic music and a faux authorative narration has you all brainwashed. as usual science wallows in its pretence of omniscience. as someone who died in their last life at 22 and remembered it in this life, i can tell you for definite this universe is not all there is.
Don't worry. You'll be dead by then. 😉
Except... Why would you want to watch the Universe ending on flash forward? That's the opposite of the "gift of time".
Dude this content is award worthy. From narration to script writing everything totally on point. 👌👌👌
It's meh
Dude. 3:05 "...questions to which Einstein's theories only begin to answer." How on earth do you excuse grammar like that as good script-writing? Because it's read with a British accent? And that's only one example of many, taken from the first three and a half minutes of this turkey.
I really love the style too, that they maintain a single narrator the entire time. A lot of these shows like to throw in random physicists sitting in their office talking for a couple of minutes here or there -- keeping a consistent narrator for everything, even to read quotes from others, really smooths it out and ensures the message is well constructed and organized from moment to moment.
@@gaminawulfsdottir3253 Grammar?
Where is the grammatical mistake in that sentence? Enlighten us, please!
Is it the style rather than the grammar that you have an issue with?
And where are the many more mistakes in the first 3 and a half minutes?
I'd be happy if you could just quote a few. Maybe 2 or 3 more?
Thanks in advance ☺️
Oh, and you might want to have a second look at your spelling of Einstein 😊
Einstein 👍
Eistein 👎
@@8mileshigh (Thanks for the catch about Einstein; corrected.)
If I have to point out the mistake in that sentence, you'll probably just respond that it's not a mistake, or that it's too trivial to take issue with, or that it's a "style" issue (it's not), but it reads: "...questions to which Eistein's theories only begin to answer." At first glance it should be obvious that the writer started out to write one sentence but switched in the middle to end up writing another; it should have said, either "...questions which Eistein's theories only begin to answer..." or "...questions to which Eistein's theories only offer the beginnings of answers..." or some such variation. TR;DR version: there are too many "to's" in that phrase; one ANSWERS a question; one presents an answer to a question; but one does not answer TO a question.
There are other spelling and wording issues; I am done with this channel and am not going to revisit it to dredge them up for you. Consider them exercises for the reader. If you can't catch them or just don't care, no amount of explanation my part will be anything but wasted. My overall impression from this and other offerings is that, while this channel boasts shiny production values, its cultured-sounding narration is laid over careless and inaccurate writing, and it does not deserve the gushing praise that other commenters have posted here.
in the last several years of watching physics and cosmology lectures on youtube, this is the first one that explained the logical leaps that lead to our current theories of the universe. the impression i've gotten before is that einstein and all the others were some sort of crazy geniuses that came up with fantastical assumptions that happened to be correct. it was very refreshing and grounding to actually be able to follow the how and why these ideas came about
Correct.
Yes, it nicely shows the arc of thought over the years about space time physics
@@dougr8646 c'mon Doug...
We stand upon the backs of giants. And some day, our backs will be the giants in which our future stands upon.
Einstein is wrong
I love these videos, and I have definition of time:
Time is the force which stops everything from happening at the same moment.
Couldn't have put it better myself, I wonder if there exists a universe where everything happens in a instant
I am happy to have discovered this astounding channel...one of the best on UA-cam in the astronomy category. 👍🏻👍🏻
This is one of the best, most encompassing videos of the history of our observations of the universe that I've ever seen. I loved this thank you

Mesmerizing. One can’t help but appreciate the brilliant minds of both philosophers and physicists, and how their different approach to seek answers complement each other.
watching this drunk.. i'll have to rewarch sober
Hey bro I hope you didn't forget about this video
Lol makes it worth twice the time
Time we measure, and we use it to measure the speed of light in seconds.
The weirdest thing is that we are an assembled collection of particles from the beginning of time but each form we are assembled into is for only a portion of time.
How many previous forms have your particles been assembled into?
Have your particles been in dinosaurs, volcanoes, the primordial soup?
Maybe your particles were in several places at the same time, perhaps some were animals, plants, rocks, lakes, ocean, at the same time?
Incredible that DNA can assemble those particles into every life form that has ever existed.
And that all DNA are related.
And that DNA itself is also particles.
So what created DNA?
These are a wonderful series of science videos that raise philological thoughts. There really are very very good.
And whats crazy is that we can go go even beyond that.
What created the particles, what do our particles lie on, what created that? What created the platform we are in...and on and on.
It almost feels like there is an onion where we are creating worlds (simulations) to understand our own world and in the future, the simulations we create could create new simulations to understand themselves, etc. Its certainly possible that every single conscious being ever existing in a multiverse does not know their own origin and the particles that make up you and me are all pieces of the same past and future. Quite literally, our perspective is the year 2022, but our particles have already experienced the past and future and our minds are just moments of minute time.
Assuming our theories are correct, we genuinely are nothing more than particles trying to understand ourselves.
Its why i want to be cremated when i pass. Let my particles flow freely again and become something new. No need to keep then trapped in a box of slow decay under soil
"We are stardust."
Also remember that your particles aren't even always the same. Most of our cells grow and reproduce and die, so we're constantly absorbing and shedding atoms. Many of the particles that make up you today weren't part of you months or years ago.
RNA created DNA (maybe) 😁
I find it amazing that human beings continue to deny that the Universe was formed by a Creator. Our minds are finite as our lives. The secrets of the universe lie within the mind of its Creator. The secrets won't be revealed to man, but the manifestations are clearly seen for all to wonder. That in itself is marvelous! The Bible mentions, that GOD placed "time and eternity in the hearts of man, so that he wouldn't know how short his life really is...
@@avamodesto2839 I find it amazing people still believe in fairy tales, i.e. god. There are numerous indications that god is a made up story. There's absolutely no evidence an invisible magic man floats in the sky. God is in the same category as bigfoot, mermaids and the loc ness monster just to name a few. In fact, god is the biggest con in human history.

To those who are just starting to study this topic, this video might seem "amazing" and "award worthy", however taking into account all the science that humanity has collected to this point, and the philosophical knowledge,,, this video touches upon only a small portion of information.
But MOST importantly, it leads in the wrong way, leading people to spend their time thinking "Oh my goodness, what is space, what is time, they are so myphterious, are they even real", (this is childish), but the more important questions are: " how the mind makes sense of everything? what is life? what kind of person are you? how to better oneself?"
If we get caught up in the physics, which are secondary, we are lost. Physics are the result, and we need to go to the source. The source is consciousness, awareness, the Mind. If you want to block a river, you do not do it at the waterfall, but at the source.
The MIND or consciousness gives point and sense to everything, so THEORIES, and these are ONLY theories, of "relativity, or is time real?", blah blah, will just waste your life. And everyone who has studied this for some time, knows that time is not important, it is relative, and just a tool for measuring, it is used to make life easier in society, in cities... , But, it is worthless in Nature, there is no BIG ass secret as the author presents it, about time. Space, and the passage of space, that is the real mystery, but even more mysterious is, "who are We in this great calculus of life" and what you do with your life, what kind of person you are and how you make yourself better
To call this powerful is a vast understatement. The production quality brought the brilliantly constructed script to life. I am so thankful my timeline brought me to view this physical and philosophical masterpiece.
The presentation and content of this channel is truly the best on the platform. My favorite part is how the ideas of advanced topics are presented without having to do immense personal study.
A very comprehensive walkthrough of relativistic physics in as simple language as possible ; excellent narration as well ! 👍

@@christopherbentley6647 I don't disagree with you at all that people are getting dumber; they certainly are, for myriad reasons. I just think that this particular comment on this particular video was an exceptionally strange and out of place choice for expressing that opinion.

So how is it that you've deduced that comments of praise like mine are misguided by a lack of intelligence?

I can testify to both of you as a consumer of television and radio from the late 1960’s that this production is of a level that was rarely or never seen for those 50 years. If there had been something like it, it would have been on public television and a lot of people would have enjoyed it. Johnny Lunchpail and Sally Housecoat then as now would likely have not tuned in.

Your presentation always serves to preserve the “magic” at the core of science, philosophy, and our universe itself. Bravo.
Science has nothing to do with magic. Magic is the opposite of science.
@@zdcyclops1lickley190 I was using magic as a synonym for “wonder”, though even if I weren’t, magic is in fact not the opposite of science. In fact, in just about any fantasy setting WITH magic, that same magic would be able to be defined as science within that setting.
“Magic” in the fantasy sense defines a system of powers and abilities which are still dictated by some sort of “system”. Science, on the other hand, defines a method of categorizing and understanding the world around us. If that world had magic, the categorization and study of said magic would still be science.
These videos are just utterly incredible - I cannot believe I don’t have to pay tons for a box set. Amazing concept choices, narrative, visuals, just brilliant ❤🎉

To keep in mind, the vibrational universe is periodical as a function. It's limits are where motion starts, and the speed of light, the fastest it can move before it no longer produces tactile matter that respons to time ,space and gravities. Faster or slower, it is potential or kinetic energy that permeates instantaneously. Leads to what we are calling entanglement and the quantum slice tomography that exposes the Fourier Effect on the whole at this exact moment of now.

An excellent video! No speculation, no theories. Only facts and real historical data. I really appreciate this video after writing my book, "Infinity, Time, Death and Thought.
I just want to say that this is the 3rd or 4th video in a row I've listened to while working and the quality is beyond stellar (ha get it). Space and science is one of my favourite personal passions I reserve to myself and listening to these has been a gem. Thank you.
Probably the best video on UA-cam right now.
I've watched this one 4 times, and it still has not got old! Love it! Keep them coming. 💯🍀😎
Dude I love your guys' videos. You could really feel the passion and love behind it. They always get me into an inquisitive and grateful mood
I hope you make a part 2 to this, as the subject matter is abundant. Truly educational in all aspects, I had no idea that it was Galileo that first proposed relativity I thought it was Einstein.
I particularly like how you give mention and credit to the unsung scientists.
It really is quite fascinating isn't it? The book "Dialogue of Two Worlds" is quite a famous book and the absolute definition of space and time is actually called the Galilean transformation thus showing how Galileo was the first to propose a theory of relativity. Einstein's Special Relativity relies on the Lorentz Transformation instead where a specific speed has to be held constant in every reference frame.
18:38. This is why I always have a fan running while I am in any room.
Great documentary! Your explanation on past, present, and future made me think of the famous scene from “Spaceballs” where Dark Helmet and the officers were watching a video of them watching a video and arguing over what is “now.”
He gets it.
Give the guy a beer.
Lol funny bc I was just thinking of that too while browsing the comments.
Loved how some specific subjects can destroy your brain, like: time, gravity (and what is a "force"), visualizing an object in "higher" dimensions, conceiving infinity, the end of your own perception. Compare to those, understanding how our own brain works seems like a peace of cake, yet we still don't know that one either.
Yesss this is so scary 😭 I sometimes try to avoid thinking about this
speak for yourself :-)
@@arenaplay8714 I was avoiding the subject until you brought it up! Now I'm totally scared and can't sleep!
@@arenaplay8714 gonna go out on a limb and say you probably avoid thinking a lot.
In what regards do we not know how the human brain works. Considering tons of successful brain surgery’s have been done I’m not sure you know what your talking about.
"and then there was darkness" sent shivers down my spine. What an amazing doc. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
I like to think about the fact that in spite of these of these difficult and sophisticated considerations nature has just imprinted into us the simple notions of time and space. In our everyday life we don't need to analyse them, we can feel them, and even enjoy them, and that's a marvel itself.
Exactly.
If you end dwelling on these notions of time and space to hard ,
It will end up killing you.

Your scripting is fabulous. I want to imagine you labour for long hours musing over the right phrase, the right word. I often think everyone does thing the same way as I do. Skirting philosophy and history and the ideas and processes that bind them into one story. Like James Berk, you sir are a steely eyed missile man. Letting us all know about that day the universe changed. thank you.
If light itself cannot escape a black hole, could a black hole be spinning every direction at once? And if so, could that omnidirectional spin be a factor in how other things interact with one. Also, has anyone ever considered that we are inside a black hole right now?
Yes. The inside of a black hole would be a white hole, the exact opposite of a black hole.
A white hole would look a lot like what we call the big bang, and as far as we can tell it's only happened once in our universe.
what would it even mean to spin in multiple directions at the same time? Take a marble. Spin it. Try to envision it rotating simultaneously in the opposite direction. Let me know what that looks like, because otherwise I don't think your post makes sense. Also, what does the spinning have to do with whether or not light itself can escape a black hole? What I mean is, if you started your post, "If light *CAN* escape a black hole, could a black hole be spinning every direction at once?" maybe the non-sequitur is more recognizable that way...?
please advise...
Time isn't a 'thing' like matter. It is a measurement that was originally based on the movements of planets, both the revolution of the earth giving us days, the movement of the moon giving us months, and the movement of the earth around the sun giving us seasons and years. Measurement. It allows us to predict what will happen and when if we have the other variables of an equation. Working out the correct equation is the challenge and the genius. General relativity.

Love what you do, I constantly find myself checking your channel for a new upload! I've only gotten 2 hours of sleep today, but I'll watch the whole thing. I'm barely 2 minutes in and I can already tell that this video will be fantastic.
An interesting postulation for space and time. I hope others are stimulated into the studies of sciences and mathematics. Thank you for helping me enjoy the "PRESENT". Liebniz's scientific postulations were from a metaphysical approach which has been mostly abandoned, but hopefully not forgotten.
Yet another example of scientific content of the highest quality. Thanks and, keep it up!
Thanks so much for the dedication to the quality of your work. It is amazing how much knowledge I have learned. Again thank you ☺️
Mathematically a problem with Many Worlds is "where does the energy to produce the branching universes come from?" What many fail to explain is that a consequence of the equations properly applied is that there is no branching out, that's pop science: ALL possible timelines have always existed!
That's much easier to understand if there is no time at all. The "Big Bang," the present, and the future death of the universe all happen simultaneously. Since we're trapped inside this universe and subjected to its gravity, we perceive spacetime.
For an external observer, outside this universe, however, the entire thing is tiny and exists for a tiny instant.
That would also explain dark energy: particles that seem to emerge from nothingness for a tiny fraction of a femtosecond. To us, they pop out of nowhere in the deepest recesses of our space. But for creatures trapped inside such tiny, fast events, they are entire universes, huge and lasting for eons.
Nice
Don't matter really because many worlds is just pseudoscientific nonsense. Its the definition of Scientific laziness. Its used because it is easier, not because of correctness. Newtonian gravity is easier also but we don't use that when attempting precise calculations as it fails. Many worlds clearly demonstrates much that is wrong with Modern physics. It is a disease.
There was a few theories that I came across, where if put together you would come across something similar to. Supposing that everything always moves at a constant velocity through space time, and using a unit circle to describe your movements through space and time, that as more of the velocity is moved from time to one of the spacial direction then the less you would move through time causing time dilation. And if we suppose that time was the 4th dimension, then the only thing special about time is that we by default are moving through it at the speed of causality. The reason why we experience time and the reason why looking at lights perspective is not valid would be the same thing because we would be moving through the time dimension at the speed of causality the length of that dimension would be contracted to zero becoming an unacceptable spacial dimension, the reason why from lights perspective would seem invalid is because one of our regular spacial dimensions would be contracted to zero. And if it weren't for the rest of reality moving through the time dimension with a high relative velocity then it wouldn't move through time as we know it, like how sending air into fast flowing wind causes it to be dragged along with it where the speed the photons would possess to us would be how much the rest of things moving through spacetime could effect the things around it.
Where moving from that, the big bang would basically be (0,0,0,0) where energy would be able to move freely in all dimensions upon release but the instant that direction was chose it would be set, meaning that there would be no difference between moving backwards or forwards in time under the consequences of physics, but the effect of overcoming the constant velocity of everything around you in the time dimension would require that you entirely divert the velocity from your time dimension before would be able to divert it entirely which would require an exponential amount of energy to do so running into the the two things i don't know how to spell off the top of my head about the permeability of space which goven the speed of causality, so because everything else is all mostly uniform in the direction it is moving through spacetime you would require an infine amount of energy to move fast enough to be able to divert to the other direction of time due to running into an exponentail amount more space moving perpendicular to you, so moving in the opposite direction to us now makes sense in the context of everything else in space moving in that same direction. Which is would basically be the same as us now but with a different dimension or direction serving as our classical time.
Would also explain what takions or whatever things are that move faster than light are, just being something where one of our spacial dimensions where the effects of the perpendicular movement of our part of space-time doesn't apply but retains at least some of the moment imparted by it's creation.
But in the context of this, the arrow of time is basically how all the energy tied in energy or mass is effected by everything else velocity of all other energy moving through spacetime, and why would space itself carry the momentum for the flow of time, well due to the fact of zero point energy. If all energy including zero point energy retained the momentum of the directional velocity which would be time in this case that would be the greatest cause of why it's so hard to overcome, the fact that anything moving through a particular area of space would encounter this zero point energy would cause a continuous drag in the direction of which it's velocity was due to it interfering with the constant velocity it the object had. Like how light entering another medium the superposition caused by the electrons in the material can cause the positions of the crests of light to be dragged back or forward therefore closer or further apart, a similar thing could be happening with zero point energy and everything else, the constant velocity of zero point energy through spacetime causing an effect that superimposes onto other energy causing everything to be draged just a bit in the time dimension, consentrations of areas of higher energy being effected less due to that drag having less of an overall effect, causing time to run slower, and things moving fast in terms of relativistic speeds having enough of their constant velocity through spacetime diverted to cause time to slow from an outside perspective, but to them time would still be moving at normal speed due to running into the equivilent amount of zero point energy induced drag.
This would also say stuff about there being particals that wouldn't be effected by the drag of the zero point energy but I'm just going to leave that for now.
But yeah, if we are talking about universal symmetries then why wouldn't the universe be symetric
Which basically takes us back to what would be described as a "river", ie.: time and space and all of its corresponding "perspectives", of particals (even at the molecular, and quantum levels, "relative" in, and to it, no?
Beautifully written, beautifully visualized, beautifully narrated. Absolutely inspirational.
I usually never comment on any video with UA-cam. And personally I like watching this channel as my top channel. Helps me learn alot too! But of all the videos this channel ever produced. This by far is probably the best episode of any program I have ever seen in my 45 years of interest in this topic. In fact it is so good, and if you are a science person, it will make you shed a tear at the very end until the credits roll. I have never experienced that ever in a science program. Maybe close with Carl Sagan. And you truly can be compared to Carl Sagan today, over any other person who tries to express or explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Or Space and Time.
It is one thing that makes you sit back and wonder about the God of the Gaps. Is it truly possible, there is a God in how we have been created from nothing? Only with this episode, I had that thought pass in my mind. Weird. I never expected it. And I'm not some religious guy either I can tell you that for sure.
But as Proximo said in the movie Gladiator. "We are shadows and dust"! How true this will be in our future.
And to understand that even the hint of space and time may not even exist, but only from our perspective. Is intriguing. Hmm?
And even better yet. Your explanation of Relativity, and Space and Time, is now meaningful to me. I always had a tough time grasping the full concept and piecing it together. But you opened my mind of thinking again. And you were able to explain it, in a way, that it became simplistic to truly understand in the end.
I truly hope a part 2 is being made. And that it rides off the back of this episode.
Not to mention, I quadrupole(and more) watch all your videos.
Can't get enough!
Good job Mate!
This channel is definitely on a good path in our time.
I'm of the mind that studying the cosmos leads one toward a belief in God and that the more we learn, the more evident that fact becomes. It's not just the gaps, but the knowledge and discoveries that serve as evidence of God. I would be happy to cordially discuss / debate this further if you'd like. In the meantime, stay well out there, and God bless you, friend. ✝️ :)
@@Numba003 I agree with you. In fact, I have studied Theology for quite some time as well. And find it fascinating how religions have become what they are today. Though I may be more in belief of the Abrahamic faiths personally. And not a devout follower as I should be. And when we as humans approach the mysteries of the Universe. The unexplained ends up as "God of the Gaps". As only God would know the answer in its meaning. Which brings to mind the Atheist belief, over my belief and yours. My answer to so many Atheists is this. "You may win and there was no God. Or. I may win, because there was a God. So, what do I have to lose? I win in both directions.
It is just us. We see ourselves as the ever-conquering creature. Who is above all. Animals with a gift of conscience, and self-awareness.
But we are so insignificant, so miniscule in the timeline of even our planet, let alone the universe. Imagine your own passing in this world. All your memories, your laughs, your studies of great leaders, your children and families, and your feeling of a happiness, and sadness, and the feeling of a warm sun on a cool day. Is so insignificant. It will all come to an end. Even the history of our entire human civilization, every great thinker, or leader, from the dawn of man until the future of mankind that moves on. All animals and plants and microbes that ever lived will come to an end.
We are just a ball of atoms, assembled by our sun’s ingredients, assembled in a order of creation that has form.
And in such a small amount of time. It will all end! It's kind of sad really.
So Imagine this. You are on a beach alone with a pale. The pale has 1 grain of sand in it. And you look left and right as you hold that pale. And you only see an endless beach of sand until the eye can't see it anymore. The pale in relation to the beach is just the timeline of the planet earth you know of. The grain of sand is the timeline of all living things we know of today in that pale. The beach is the timeline of the universe. But it has one problem. The beach isn't anywhere near the size of the timeline of the universe. There is about 5 sextillion grains of sand on all the beaches on earth. About 6 sextillion cups of water too. And the universe will be here for 100 Trillion years from now. Or maybe even more.
Our insignificance is well defined.
But to have a glimmer of hope, can be comforting. And take away the sadness for now.
@@synologyonline Thank you for your response and your cordiality my friend. I am a Christian myself. Have you ever read the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible? Your response is similar in some ways, albeit more thoroughly scientifically and statistically written. It's about how very small we are, how little we know, and how meaningless so much of our time spent is when viewed from a purely naturalistic perspective. And yet, for all that, I find it an optimistic book when it contemplates the existence of God and some of His character. We are but a small blip that cannot possibly understand all of Creation, so it is best to serve God and accept that the One who created everything is all powerful and all good. As such, everything will work out okay for those who follow Him, even if it doesn't always seem to from our little perspective.
My own life has been forever changed for the better since I gave my life to Christ.
@@Numba003 Well,
Don't take this the wrong way. Please don't.
Just my own thinking. Personal opinion. As my online buddy.
Ecclesiastes? I've read all Old and New Testament literature. Quranic, and Jewish as well.
Ecclesiastes, was Old Testament literature, and it was believed to be written by Solomon.
And such a mystical person he was with his magical ring. He was able to tame daemons to work for him.
And yes. Many anecdotes in Ecclesiastes talk about a very similar topic as here in this UA-cam video, and comments.
Though it may be Islam that tends to be more scientific of any of the Abrahamic faiths.
In fact more I think more scientists have a tendency to convert to Islam.
Not that I am Islamic.
I just read all the books that all have written.
And review the scholarly view points of the 3 faiths.
Now.
If you really study alot of theology, like I do.
Christianity,,,,weeeeellll,,,,,,, is probably the least religious group to consider. The most divided religious group too.
The same group that not even a single person of its faith has ever in history followed the teachings about the person for which its book was written for.
The faith has been so molded over time since it's inception. Its really hard to tell if even it is Christianity anymore. Even modern churches are again molding the whole faith again with LGBTQ into the fold. And even pointing out words and emphasizing them as to their cause. I can hear the preacher now! "Join our church as we accept all, even You, the LGBTQ people. God loves you"!
This is just one example that exists of the many changes man makes in a religion to get people in.
And I think Canada passed a law not long ago about the bible as a Myth. Geez a law about the Bible being a myth?
The faith itself even molded old pagan holidays so as the Romans would love it even more, and melt into more easily.
i.e. Christmas, Hollows Eve, Easter, etc, etc. All with pagan origins.
Even Jesus's very image. Long haired light skinned man in a robe with sandals.
Why would anyone follow that, and accept those changes?
I doubt that is a image of the Shazu/Habiru(Israelites) the Egyptians mentioned that came out of Africa and went to Canaan.
Let alone modern Jews.
When the real Jews all went extinct about 2000 years ago.
But the world has been plagued and forced to believe otherwise. But think about that one. The answers been there all along for about 2000 years.
The early days of Christianity started out as 2 groups. Well 1 actually, and then 2.
1-The Judeo-Christians(Jesus and his Followers).
2-The Pauline-Christians(the newly molded version of Devine Jesus as a son of God).
The Judeo-Christians group was headed up by Jesus himself. And even Jesus's number 2 man his own brother were promoting the real teachings of Jesus's message, and the Mosaic Laws. And those teachings were only for the Jews. Nobody else. Paul would change this message for all later.
Jesus's mission is to get the Jews back on track, and to follow the Mosaic law again.
As so many had gone astray and corrupted. And so bribed by many Romans.
Jesus was like a warning to the Jews of coming catastrophe if the Jews didn't change their ways.
Now Paul is another story.
He is very mystical. Out killing Christians one day. And then a follower(and leader) the next.
In Fact we don't know anything really about Paul. He truly is a mystery. Scary guy actually.
But Paul would take Jesus to a elevated level as a God. and son of God with salvation and forgiveness. And make him Devine.
The Romans loved this too. As they had a faith too that didn't have salvation.
And many accepted this Devine faith Paul started.
And Paul's new faith really grew in popularity. In fact so big, they literally killed off all the original Judeo-Christians.
That is Jesus, his brother James, and those early first followers of Jesus.
And Yes. The Judeo-Christians were all killed off by the Romans. Because of Paul.
Because Judeo-Christians had a message of Jesus for the Jews only, and getting back to the Mosaic laws.
All died. All were killed off by Paul's group.
In doing so. The Pauline followers had no competition, and their belief grew, grew, and grew, and became the Christianity we know today.
Sad. All this is forgotten, or made to believe it wasn't true by so many churches today. Promoting a bible written 100's of years after Jesus. LOL! How would they know? They weren't even there. Book of Mark, maybe as it is the oldest of books. but rewritten as we see from the Dead Sea scrolls interpretations.
Wait. It gets better.
It's even believed that Paul and his followers even killed James. Jesus's own brother.
Yes!
Why do think James is only mentioned a couple times in the bible. And Paul mentioned over a hundred times?
Because Paul needs to eliminate James belief about his brother Jesus, so the Romans don't persecute him for manipulating the people.
And who would know better about Jesus than James his own brother. James the head of the Judeo-Christian Church after Jesus died. Yes. The very James, the one called "Old Camel Knees" for how much he prayed on his knees. Like other Abrahamic faiths do.
Many, Theologians, believe that the passage of "Our Brother Steven" being clubbed and thrown down the stairs, was actually James, the brother of Jesus. And that Paul created that mob to kill James(Steven in the bible).
Professor Eisenman believes this, and has proof. And if he is correct, and like many others believe he is(et.al).
Paul literally murdered Jesus's brother to eliminate the competition.
And promoted his version of a faith so many Christians would follow today.
So much evidence to back that all up too.
So I believe we need to look outside the box. Like even what this channel is doing.
No single thing.
I say, Don't be gullible.
Be aware. And never fully convinced.
Keeps the mind open. Ready to learn new.
It prepares us to learn alot more as we expand our knowledge of our past, and our future.
And we may, just may, find out that the true God of all 3 of those faiths was in there all along.
Enjoy!

These are great videos, a lot of history is revealed that is obscure and is left out of most literature of the subject matter. So much of Space, Time, Physics is almost 100% reliant on the human invention of Mathematics. You know, the creation of our minds which is based on how many fingers we have? And of course Time, another invention of the Human Race, so we know everything isn't happening all at once. I believe it's our own hubris which prevents some of the answers we seek, it's usually when we get out of our own way we accomplish so much. I have few regrets in how I have lived my life, but if I had known then what I know now, I would of tried harder in Math class. I have the time, now, that I am retired, to really dig into these subjects, but my ignorance of advanced mathematics, limits me at every turn. So I ponder these theories and thought experiments, always wondering, for now, it's good enough.
these documentaries are amazingly dense. love it, great work, keep it up!
Been on the UA-cam platform since it was launched. I have to say hands down, this is in my top three all time favorite. What an amazing video!
So have I!
Our brilliant author here, Geraint F. Lewis, presents us with the most stunning science specials ever created. And true to his fashion, concludes his episodes with the most remarkable and poetic thoughts on science.
The most fundamental concept is that of possibility: all the states the universe could possibly be in form a set, a set that is partially ordered by the entropy of those states.
Time is just the "direction" of that entropic ordering: two minimally-different possible states of the universe are before or after one another when one is more or less entropic than the other. (This does imply that there are multiple pasts and futures of any given state, but due to the nature of entropy there will necessarily be fewer pasts than futures, so "over time", following along that entropic ordering, pasts converge while futures diverge, which accounts for why the past seems fixed and the future seems wide open. This also implies that there is a "perpendicular direction" to the direction of time, consisting of all those states that are co-present with a given state, neither pasts nor futures of each other. Those are the superposed classical states within the universal wavefunction.)
Space, then, being the most derivative of these concepts, is just the time it takes for a change to one part of the universe to propagate to another part of the universe.
Literally what
Just, just just... "Just" accept that whatever fancy words you string together are truth with no evidence whatsoever. You're engaging in abstract philosophy, not science. You think all that's true? Wonderful. Now show us how all your woo-woo ideas could be DISproven by experiment, and let the physicists get to it. Or hush.
The past becomes the future the future becomes the past 😑
I remember in grade school, we did an experiment, where 2 watches were set to the same time, one was put in our classroom, another was run up to the top of a 25 story building and both second hands were started at the same exact second. A few days later, the watches were off by about 3 hours. Minds blown lol. Simple experiments like that as a child made science so cool to me and my friends lol, Videos about space and time always bring me back to that time. It was the first time I could understand just how much the force of gravity was influencing us besides keeping us from floating away. I hope im alive long enough to see the next big developments in quantum physics and space research and exploration.

My guess is that when the universe is dying out it will try to survive by contracting into one concentrated point and will most likely create another big bang and create another universe... which would also mean that the universe is stuck in a quantum loop. perhaps Black holes are the portals between these universes

One of the best and thought provoking videos I've ever seen. Keep it up guys.
Amazing video, though the hypothetical civilization in the intro would lose time around a black hole, not gain it. Because they'd be slowed relative to everything else, giving them much less time before the black hole dissipates while near it, than they would have further from it. The further away from any large sources of gravity they are, the more time they'll have relative to everything else, including the heat death of the universe.
Relatively speaking.......lol! Subjective time is the same everywhere but to all outside observers not within the gravity hole, they took the shortcut to the end of time wherein one lifetime might stretch out across the entire heat cycle.
@@PeckerwoodIndustries That's what I said, they end up with less time, less generations, if any, and may lose the black hole before they even die.
The only reason I could imagine is if they don't have renewable energy and the black hole doesn't provide enough energy in time non-relative to the black hole.
I just commented the same thing.. Good to know i'm not alone.
Genuinely blown away by the subject matter of the video. I love how everything comes full circle at the end. Thank you, that was phenomenal 👏
The very advanced scientific topics taughted in a way that even a highschool student can understand is unbelievable! This was my first time watching this channel and I have got simply nothing but respect for the time and efforts you had to put in to making these videos. The least I could do is to leave a good feedback :)
I have always thought of time as a human construct and being relative to the human lifespan. It could be that your mythical civilization creates or finds a wormhole and could therefore continue in an infinite loop.
