    David, your videos are perfect. No ego, no silly animation. Your approach is factual, concise and perfectly explained. There is no room for anyone to deny the information and knowledge that you demonstrate, unlike other videos where information is often too contracted and summarised. You lay out the science and mathematics like no one else. Utterly brilliant work!

    Think of universe expansion like raisin bread dough rising. As the dough rises, the raisins (galaxies) move further from each other. They are not moving through the dough. The entire dough is growing, and the raisins spread out along with it.
    If 2 raisins are stuck together, like gravitationally bound galaxies, they will remain together during expansion.

    Really lovely videos, Mr. Butler. Good job to all involved.
    I'm going to look through your catalogue, but I suspect that you do not deal with the underlying rationale for assuming the Doppler effect is the correct explanation for the red shift of distant galaxies elsewhere.
    Richard Feynman posited "Tired Light" as an explanation and that would seem to bring considerations of an ether back into a conversation that has long ago simply discarded it.
    I wonder if you might make a video dealing with the paucity of physical experiment and increasing dependence on the mathematical implications of possible but unproven theories.

      Thanks be to Allah, Allah is the One who gives us knowledge gradually,
      Jaber is a scholar in the Qur’an. He wants to make the verses of inheritance in the Qur’an easy to calculate for Muslims. This led to the invention of algebra, thanks be to Allâh.

    Mr. Butler, first I want to thank you for the wonderful book video. I watched other cosmology video and happen to ran into yours and was hooked.
    I have a question that I was not able to resovled myself and hope you can help me out. In the video, "How Old Is It - 02" @4:43, you explain that the two galaxies is getting further apart due to expanding space between the two galaxies as accepted base on current theory. Therefore at some time in the past, these two galaxies is closer together as you stated. If that is the case, would the two galaxies be close enough at some point in the past for gravity to hold the two galaxies together and even collided with each other (similar to the Andromeda and the Milky Way right now)? If true, then why are the two galaxies is so far apart today? If not true, then in 13.7billion years in the future, the Andromeda and Milky Way should be further away rather then colliding with each other.
    I have this question for awhile after watching and reading about expanding universe but not able to find an answer. But I saw that you reply to comments, therefore I want to hear your thoughts. Many Thanks.
    Mark

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  7 лет назад +3

      Mark, When you take a look at the first period of expansion (called inflation), you'll see that it was extremely faster than it is today. At that time, everything was in the form of elementary particles in almost homogeneous distribution throughout space. There were no galaxies. The caustic process brought about the clumping we see today as galaxies. Have you seen part 03 yet?

    I think I finally get the Cosmic expansion model as a concept and the hypothesized heat death.
    Basically we're moving from a single mass spreading out it all out until everything is uniform, no matter after the black holes and black dwarfs have evaporated or energy just nothing.
    Maximum entropy.
    I knew Black holes evaporated with Hawking radiation so I'd imagine the same is true for Black dwarfs too or a similar process.
    So I wonder what temperature is the even temperature of the universe.
    I guess this also operates on the assumption that our universe is a closed system.

    I wonder if dark matter is a result of constructive interference from dark energy. I think that dark energy and expansion comes from black holes. We see galaxies expanding apart from one another and so theorize dark energy but we also have learned that galaxies have super massive black holes at their center. So what if they are responsible for expansion because they are what galaxies have in common. The effect would be the same.

    I have a question: if we know exactly when the Universe started (13.8 billion years ago), how come also the universe can be infinite in space? I mean, if the universe is in fact infinite, it goes on forever, but it’s limited by light speed and time (13.8 billion years), how come many astrophysicists think it can be infinite? I mean, even if you take dark energy into account, the acceleration produced by it cannot be infinite. Or can be? It’s not counter intuitive? Thank you sir! Greetings from Argentina.

      It's been said that the universe looks the same in all directions. That can only mean it is infinite, doesn't it?
      And that number 13.8, there is some paradox connected to it. Because different parts of the universe age at different rates. Think of the twin paradox for example, when one of the twins ages differently. What happens when twins calculate this 13.8 at their birth? It's 13.8 + 0. Then 20 years later the twin brother returns from a trip 2 years younger than his brother. What's the age of the universe then? For first brother it is 18.3 + 20, and for his twin brother it is 13.8 + 18. So what is the correct age?

Is it caused by gravitational poll of some matter near the galaxy in question. What caused (future collusion) Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way? Was the change of expansion direction for colliding galaxies caused earlier in time when universe was denser and galaxies closer to each other?

    • @executivesteps
      @executivesteps 3 года назад +3

      The velocity of the Andromeda Galaxy towards our Milky Way is about 3x greater than the recessional velocity of space at the distance it’s currently at. That’s why it’s BLUE shifted.
      It’s gravity that wins out and keeps the galaxies in our Local Group together overcoming the expansion rate of the Universe.
      Most galaxies are in clusters and their mutual gravity keeps them bound to each other causing occasional collisions.

    Please clarify this. The Hubble Constant can provide a rough estimate of the age of the Earth, assuming constant velocity. That estimate would 14by. But if the HC is assumed to be constant, then the same rough age estimate would be calculated, no matter what age.
    So the HC is not constant. If the expansion is the same velocity for time past and time future, then the HC must change over time, even as the actual velocity might be assumed to be constant.
    Does the slope for the Hubble Constant change over time?

When I used the term “Mathematical Masturbation”, I was cutting to the chase and paraphrasing the Mathematician, Logician and Philosopher Bertrand Russell who stated: “Mathematics is the science in which you never know what you are talking about, nor if what you’re saying is true. It deals with hypothetical entities and it’s only concern is a relationship to each other being indifferent to whether anything in the real world corresponds.” Further Hannes Alfven states: “Mathematics is suitable to give prestige to any idea but if the idea is myth, mathematics can turn it into a mathematical myth but not guarantee that it has anything to do with reality.” ‘How Far Away Is It’, despite conveying, currently held scientific… dogma, is cultish and nothing more than rubbish. You’ve basically conceded that pushing rubbish that is in a textbook is perfectly acceptable. The NSF is a corrupt Governmental Organization that doles out money and picks and chooses the “Science” just like the corrupt New Media does news with no regard to facts. Very Goebbels’esk if I may say so. On the contrary… you do not present “empirical evidence” in the least. All you present is debunked dogma. As mentioned previously, every, EVERY bit of empirical evidence, including applied laws, data and math used to support “the big bang” has been proven to be incorrect. You cannot build a castle on a foundation of sand no matter how hard you try. If errors are made early on in the theory, such as using “Redshift” to determine rate of expansion, then it follows that everything thereafter is horseshit, and renders it nothing more than mathematical masturbation. You do understand that basic concept? Possessing intelligence does not imply wisdom. Just because it’s in a textbook doesn’t make it fact. If you had any balls or sense, you would pay attention to what Hubble, Arp and Alfven all said: ‘it’s rubbish’, of course I am paraphrasing. David, seriously… everything in the universe came from a singularity? That is pure insanity. Here is something real: Our universe is a trillionth to the trillionth x that years old + a day, moreover, what we see currently is our universe cluster, one of (again) trillions to the trillionth of universe clusters, and here’s the icing: no matter where you are in any of these trillions of universe clusters, no matter how far away it is to where we are now… you are exactly in the center of the universe.

    your presentations are exceptional. a few observations/questions:
    1 - you mention early on that the assumption is that the velocity that galaxies move away from each other is constant, but it truly can't be because of gravity (must be decelerating as you state at about 20:00), so i'm curious how that affects the material presented in earlier your video.
    2 - how can anything move faster than the speed of light? at 12:45, i think your explanation is that special relativity kinda gets "squashed" since it assumes reference frames aren't changing size, but i'm not sure.
    3 - if all galaxies are moving away from each other, why do some collide with each other?
    4 - relativistic considerations must certainly come into play for distant galaxies (time being different, lengths being shorter/longer, etc)
    and therefore affect our observations.
    5 - at 10:35, i think you dropped a "/2" from the last term in the 2nd equation from the top on the right (Vxt/2)

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  5 лет назад +2

      Tom, good questions. 1) I cover all the possibilities. 2) The speed of light restricts the movement of light through space. It does not impose any limits on the creation of new space. 3) The expansion of space does not come between objects and the ties that bind them. For example, the force that keeps galaxies colliding is the same as the force that causes your pencil to drop when you let go. Think of a fish in the sea that is warming up. The space between water molecules is getting larger, but the fish is the same size. 4) ? 5) Thanks.

    After watching this video I'm somehow 100% that faster than light travel is possible... I don't know how, but if it possible for space to expand, it should be possible to contract it in front of a space ship. Thus not actually moving at the speed of light from the point of the space ship, thus from the point of the ship it would be moving at sub light speed towards an object... Since space expands without expanding the matter within it, contracting should also be possible somehow, but that would be a problem since there's probably a lot of stuff between a ship and a star... someone really smart figure this out in my lifetime so I can see the stars :)

      Maybe we can use some kind of detector to detect all objects that could damage the ship, and create a route through the obstacles other ships can use to traverse it completely automatically and faster... Even managing to contract space with fusion energy powered space contractor (that would make us a type 1 on the Kardashev scale right?). Somehow dark matter calculates into making this possible. Like dark matter is what expands the universe, think about it... There's dark matter all around the universe, and galaxies have a lot more of it than empty space, maybe the expansions of the actual galaxies is still being contradicted by the gravitational force... So if we figure out how to reverse or temporary remove the dark matter with dark energy somehow we could contract space to the point of just after the big bang, so literally nothing... Omg maybe dark energy is what expanding space is, space but shifted somehow, since nothing cannot be created without some kind of energy (dark energy maybe?), so dark matter is the matter that's shifted when expansion is happening...

      Also detecting dark matter. It should be everywhere in extremely tiny quantities, but since space is expanding everywhere it should be happening everywhere. Maybe a space borne detector outside the earths matter rich surrounding.

      @DarkKitarist the key is "faking gravity" for your style of super luminal travel, often referred to as "space folding" in science fiction. You somehow cause spacetime to contract in front of you and in the direction of your destination, move forward a bit at a perfectly reasonable non-relativistic velocity, and restore spacetime behind you. Unfortunately we haven't even been able to verifiably produce quantum scale black holes at the Large Hadron Collider yet (nobody panic, they'll only exist for a mere femtoseconds if we ever manage to do it) so it could be quite a while before we could, say, collapse the distance from here to Alpha Centauri (around 4.3 light years from here).
