We need more people like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan to inspire people to learn about the universe and its wonders and to abandon ancient myths.
PvPLegends According to some autobiographical notes in Chicago that he wrote, Einstein lost his faith in the bible as a child. As he read science books he found more and more flaws in the bible.
Diamond Miner Animaniac Well maybe if you read the bible you would find more and more flaws in science. In almost all ways though, they go hand in hand.
Apparently you don't understand how the statements "It is proven that it happened but we don't know what caused it, so until we know we won't make any assumptions" and "I believe this because the man with the money/army told everyone that happened 1800 years ago so shut up and worship" differ. You seem as wise as the teenagers who walk into traffic while on their fucking iPhones, which is probably a good thing considering 15 people agree.
So basically Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait... The Earth began to cool, The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools, We built a wall (we built the pyramids), Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries, That all started with the big bang?
We are the Universe, we are conscious, we are the universe's consciousness: therefore pantheism, immortality and the end of old organised religions. Bow down to your new God; YOU
(0:34) "For reasons unknown, this point began to expand..." (2:10) "For reasons unknown, this symmetry... had been broken..." (5:32) "... by a mechanism unknown, their emerged simple anaerobic bacteria..." The unknowns intrigue me the most, I think.
Erin Howarth because we still need to find explanations and completely fill the gaps (of course, they can't be just wild guesses but to be demostraded and even testable).
Erin Howarth I agree..As a scientist they also intrigue me the most because they are the ones we have yet to understand..that is why we have to do our best to do so
Reasons unknown = God?! Nope. Reasons unknown = reasons unknown yet Because that's how science works. We know a lot more than we did a 100 years ago. Science may find God one day but until then, we cannot say God exists. How is this so difficult to understand?
***** Who's to say the whole universe wasn't created just last Thursday by a magical elf who gave it the _appearance_ of something billions of years old? Who's to say that the whole universe isn't just the sneezings of some unfathomable extradimensional creature? Musings like what you and I just made are _unfalsifiable hypotheses_. For pretty much self-explanatory reasons, unfalsifiable hypotheses are absolutely useless when it comes to increasing knowledge. So while it may be fun to make them, they can't be taken seriously.
AlbertaGeek I dont care what it is , be it a magical elf or whatever being - something have created the world and it was proven at the begining of the video. he says : all the observable universe was at the volume of less than one trillion the size of a point of a pen. Yet - IT EXISTED! without a being that is eternal and that created this universe- its impossible for something to magicly appear.
***** Lets have it your way. there is no god , right? so those physics and tempature (who i honestly cant believe was ALWAYS there - but lets leave it) they created an entire universe from scratch?! ive been asking this question to so many atheist over the years and i could never get an snwer for that :S
well ur agnostic then.. its a different case because being agnostic makes much more sense .still , I dont think there will be any evidence for its existence or not. its why we believe god exist insted of know it is.
***** Obviously you dont want to put 3 and 7 together. Im hoping you ARE capable of that, but I'll do it for you anyways. I will not respond again but I will read carefully and will agree or disagree to whatever is replied. Giving you the last word is not only the most mature thing to do, it is what is necessary to help you continue as a person. Now for the actual argument Morgan Freeman, an actor, does not know most of what he narrates. Bill Nye, an actor and mechanical engineer, knows at least half of what he talks about (because ,face it, its all common knowledge once you're past 7th grade). Both persons renowned for their positions as actors. 1 for his voice, 1 for his influence. Bill Nye had a show with content for a preteen which still taught millions of American children about general science. Morgan Freeman hosts a show called "Through the Wormhole" (thanks +Sam Jabery) for a more interested audience but still succeeds in its ratings. The point is that each man had an acting career and didnt really need to know about what they are talking about. Its all scripted anyways. More examples? Did Donald Sutherland know anything about governing a country in the "Hunger Games"? Im presuming not since he's an actor and not a government official. Did Danny Glover know about anything about being the president of the United Stats in "2012" (film)? Well... not much. We all learn it in grade school. Both men did amazingly in their movies. Were they, in any point in their lives, the head of a country? Nope. Talking about something is not restricted to whether or not you know the topic. If you are given words and was told to look at a camera and say the words, you can easily do that. Hell Im working on electrical engineering and Im talking about acting. I will leave it at that. If you have any kinds of rebuttals than go ahead and post them.
I love how Neil used the phrase "by a mechanism unknown" for talking about the first life on earth. That goes to show how open minded the theories that he has explained are.
Kieran L but earth only turned 2015 recently ;( ??? how does it work? they should explain this in school! Did the roman empire exist before earth was born?
I like Neil so much, his voice and the way he lecture astrophysics is amazing. If there is a sucessor to Sagan's legacy, it must be him; such an awesome educator.
I love this video so much. It gives me the same feelings of awe and hope that I felt when I took my first astronomy class in high school. Now I'm on my way to getting a degree in Astrophysics! This is a great summary by the way! We learned all this in a lot more detail in an introductory course, so if you're curious, take it at your university!

***** No, narco73 is wrong. The process is symmetrical. At high energy, photons decay into particle-antiparticle-pairs. Those pairs in turn generate photons, when they come together. First there where only those photons, which decayed into pairs, which then annihilated back to photons. When the universe cooled down the energy of the photons was not sufficient to create more pairs and the almost all of the pairs annihilated, leaving behind a tiny bit of matter, due to unknown reasons. So yes, light did in fact create matter :)

***** physics is an accident. The odds do not add up my friend.. Not in billions or even trillions of years.. or in an infinite amount of time would it ever.
***** reality is more than just numbers. How close can an object get to another without touch. Using physics they never touch. In reality they they do. Neil is a guesser he sees things only in black or white. He's way..or no way.
For every billion matter particles, there is a Neo. Which defeats it's anti-matter particle using kung fu. We are Neo, we are the matrix. Because Science!
There is gravity on earth and on sun but the sun is much more massive which should mean more gravity but when I throw a rock at the sun, it comes down and hits the neighbour cat. You can't explain that!
Pipi Chi There was no evolutionary disadvantage to men having nipples, so there was no selection pressure to remove them from men. At the same time, every physical difference between male and female requires increased complexity in the genes, so there was an evolutionary advantage not not removing them from men.
Pipi Chi Simply put, everyone's is formed a girl in the early stages of pregnancy. Gender is decided afterwards, thus, you might think of it like a "rough sketch", the details are added later. Some parts are removed, others are added and/or untouched. The nipples are some of the part that are untouched!
Then years down the road ,we find out everything we know is wrong. Quantum physics continues on expansively overriding everything once solidified in physics, Einstein's theory of general relativity ceases to make sense in the grander scheme of things, and we end back at square one in an eternal quest to figure out the impossible. Imagine that. The crazy thing is, it's very possible.
RustyFiReWorKs Would never happen. If General Relativity was so wrong, the predicts it lets us make, and the machines it lets us, and the calculations we use it, would all be wrong, which they ain't. Einstein might not have had the whole truth (just like Newton didn't before him), but he has enough right, that saying we'd be back to square one, is just plain wrong.
***** I think you misunderstood him (although he did worded it a bit wierd). He's not saying General Relativity is wrong he's saying as the universe continues to expand all the mass in the universe will be so far apart that the gravitational forces will get weaker and weaker until it becomes obsolete. Hence general relativity will become obsolete and quantum physics will dominate the universe.
RustyFiReWorKs GR is not wrong. It's just incomplete. What it _does_ describe is pretty accurate. Any new more complete theory has to, by necessity, be a superset of GR; in other words, it has to explain everything that GR does (and has been experimentally verified) in addition to whatever else it explains. It's the same as GR vs. Newtonian gravity: GR did not prove Newtonian gravity wrong. It's a superset of Newtonian gravity, because the latter is incomplete. (When you limit sizes, masses and velocities to be within certain ranges, GR approximates Newtonian gravity.)
Easily the single best educational science video there ever was. A perfectly coherent story that is honest about its limitations, and Henry's animation to give the words the visual body they need to be remembered well -- inspiring, mr. Reich and mr. Tyson.
Kebo Kev they don't teach u this in school. Not the way neil says it. In school they say "boom and bam.... Earth forms and u born from mom and dad and stuff happens and here u are.... Now go to next class bitch ass kids
+Darris Hawks We don't have sufficient information. Who knows, maybe electricity will one day split from magnetism altogether, or something like that, or perhaps we just don't yet have the words to describe this split, or maybe it won't happen at all. But with this cooling down, one thing we can probably expect is the heat death.
+Darris Hawks I don't think so, and here is why: the forces appeared over time because the universe was cooling down. Ok. Why won't any forces suddenly appear? Because we have already created temperatures from near absolute zero to hundreds of millions of degrees, so if there were any unknown fundamental forces we would have at least noticed them! That is my point of view. If you throw dark energy in the game, we may be facing a new force, one that works in gigantic scales or maybe even not with regular matter, but this one have nothing to do with your question hahahah
No, as people already said, we have already almost reached the lowest temperature possible in our universe, but actually reaching it is impossible so.. No new forces for us :D
I know it's all a theory but if it really was so hot it bend space and time and broke the very laws of natures, I think it's a pretty awesome universe we live in. Make me feel so small
Yes the Universe had a beginning, yes, the Universe continues to evolve, and yes, every one of our bodies atoms is traceable to the big bang and the thermonuclear furnace within high-mass stars. We are not simply "in" the Universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the Universe to figure itself out. And we've only just begun. What a wonderful perspective
+Matthew Dawsey Another perspective: We are all confined to a small speck floating in space. We have only touched the edge of our own solar system. Every one of us will probably live and die on this tiny rock without venturing far into the place we see every night.

Echo, pronounced Ek O (where E sounds like the last part of meh: showing discontent or lack thereof, and O as the letter name) indicating a reverberation or reflection of sound commonly associated with large empty spaces with a large surface area e.g. mountains, canyons, a complete empty house or rooms within, etc. As you can see, they are completed different and unrelated things.

+John Doe because many people reject science to believe in a superior being, and many others (like me) reject the idea of a superior being, because science (I said this to make the reasons short). And there's nothing wrong with arguments and debates, the problem is when people get disrespectful and become assholes.
+John Doe Because religious insecurity. Religious people get angry and upset over anything they perceive as challenging their faith. It's written into their religion, from the first half of the 10 Commandments being only about God's insecurity to Jihad against non believers.
Ok so I figured I would give my opinion on this because why not? A lot of people are saying that when he says things like "reasons unknown" a lot that is pointing to some sort of supreme being or "God" if you will. That is not necessarily true, but it is not necessarily false either. Someone in the comments said "It's like we have 75% of a puzzle, so we make up the other 25% in a way which makes the most sense to us." I feel like that sums it up really well. Think about it this way: A really bad car crash happens and there are no survivors or witnesses. The people tasked with investigating this crash have a lot of facts to go by, and can figure out pretty much what happened. However, without actually being there to see it happen they can't know 100% for sure exactly what happened. But they can make educated guesses based on past knowledge and research. The universe is sort of the same way. Yes that is a really basic analogy but what I'm saying is that without being there to actually experience the creation of the universe, we don't actually know. Saying that because we don't have all the answers means that there has to be a God is ridiculous. Also, saying that because the big bang and evolution have been scientifically proven that must disprove a God is ridiculous. Almost every argument for or against a god can be countered by the same argument; for example if someone says "well if the universe wasn't created by a god then what created it?" that can be countered by "well if god created the universe then what created god?" and vice versa. So I say live the life you want to live. Explore the origins of the universe if you wish. Believe that God created everything in an instant if that's what you believe. Share your opinions with the world, but don't hate other people for not believing the same thing you do. Every single person has their own path to take, their own journey, and their own questions to answer. Let them travel that path without fear or judgement.
Nomatophobicane Eventually, it will become widely realized that for many centuries, "God" has been the go-to explanation for things we do not know, and that it is an explanation inevitably defeated by new discoveries.
***** I wouldn't base your entire world view or ethical foundation on those mechanisms remaining unknown, however. Science has a way of filling in gaps, and so far none of those gaps have revealed a sapient creator-god when filled.
"keep looking up" is kind of a perfect 'quote' to get tattooed. i love astronomy and astrophysics since i was a kid, this was a great collaboration video :)
***** i guess he just wanted to know actual name of the song, but he knew that if he would asked for song, well he would get well known anwser... he's not a jerk... (speculation only)
I think future scientists will debunk all this, starting with the big bang and universe being 15billion years old. Time is relative to our conditions. We only measure time because the Earth rotates around the sun every 365 days and light turns into darkness for about half the day length. Time is still, we're moving through it.
It could happened but with the evidence we have of the earth age and the Big Bang are so overwhelming that it is consider fact and these theories could change a little but keep the same main idea. I highly doubt that time would debunk these theories, in fact Time would advance the evidence we have an enhance our the Big Bang Theory :) Science rules
***** It's certainly possible that time has no beginning or end, but what is very difficult to dispute is that around 14 billion years ago, the universe was very hot and dense. Whether that epoch was "the beginning" is debatable, but the evidence for a dense phase, followed by a sudden expansion phase, followed by a galaxy formation phase, is significant. Our big bang could have been one of an infinite series of big bangs. It is still our big bang, the beginning of our observable universe.
Kyle Baldwin "It is still our big bang, the beginning of our observable universe." Beautifully said.Please do some research on Halton Arp. He was a big opponent of the BBT, and had several theories against the notion that recessional velocity is the only thing capable of producing a red shift. Through mathematical and observable work studying galaxies and quasars he proved that redshifts don't work the same way in space as they do on Earth. Since Red shifts is the building block of Hubbles theory on expanding universe. You can pretty much throw that theory out the window and start back from scratch.
I desperately hope that, if we fail as a species and succumb to the dangers of the universe with only one video remaining to represent us, I hope this is it.
***** Much of this is taught in higher education. If you were to study physics at undergraduate level and take modules in cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics you would learn all of this and much much more. It's very interesting. However, it is a shame they don't give you an insight into this sort of science during compulsory education, I imagine a lot more people would follow a science related career path if they did :)
***** It is in some places, but not enough. The problem is that many science teachers (and I can testify for some of mine) don't actually even believe this stuff (preposterous I know), so they deprive their students of it. This leads to nationwide ignorance. I say that if you are not willing to take scientific understanding and reasoning as fact, you have absolutely no reason to be a teacher ever, and you should be REQUIRED to show a good understanding of this stuff to be a science teacher of any level that could have even anything remotely close to this content to teach.
From what I have learned so far about humans, this explanation of life on earth makes a lot of sense because of these key sentences: "for reasons unknown", "asymmetry really, really important", "we´ve only just began".
***** When it's too hot and dense, everything kind of fuses together. When the universe expanded and cooled, the unified force split into four. That's why for instance we can't figure out what's going on inside a black hole; it's too dense and hot. If we could find a mathematic formula that could describe a unified force and not just parts of it (special relativity for the big, quantum mechanics for the small) then perhaps scientists could give you a more detailed and understandable description of what you want to know. Unifying the different forces and laws is kind of the holy grail of mathematics since it would hold the power to explain almost everything. Which is why it's sometimes referred to as "the theory of everything".
LaLiLuLeLo hif What does "everything fuses together" mean in terms of forces though? I understand that matter is compressed when things are hot and dense, but what does it mean that forces are? As an example, when the electromagnetic force fuses with the weak nuclear force, what do photons do? Are there still photons?
***** Maybe everything is so hot that the particles that carry each force - like gravitrons for gravity, don't remember the names for the others - couldn't organize, and were all mixed together because they carried all that energy. Kinda like when water and an imiscile substance can mix if heated enough, but would separate after cooling. Or, maybe there was no particles for each force, but rather one single, "everything" particle, that only exists at those temperatures, and as it cooled down, it started to break down into those four components,
That's why I don't talk religion with my parents. Fear of getting an ass whoopin for not believing in a God. At least I'm reading the bible to make them happy.
demi tadrous Well, the good thing is, you don't have to listen to them. By definition, Science tries to explain everything by simply observing. God has 0 physical evidence behind it. Science, by definition, has a lot more than 0 physical evidence. If you want, respond with this: Show evidence of God. If they show you the Bible, or whatever text that they follow, say that the Bible(or other religious text) isn't evidence; its just a collection of papers with ink on them that contain some type of meaning. If they show you Earth, say that its just a giant rock. etc. If they still insist, ask them to explain the universe in terms of God.
demi tadrous Me: (if i did) >shows to parents Dad: It's nice that you're learning more about our universe, son! Mom: WTF GET THIS FUCKING SHIT OFF ME GOD DID IT IN 7 DAYS Dad: nonono calm your ass down bitch the 7 days thing was just an oversimplification of the authors because people were retards in circa 3000bc Mom: (storms off the room)
I actually find it baffling. What existed before the universe? Where does it end? I know the scientific answers for these questions, but with 'human brain logic', it seriously blows my mind. The very fact that, assuming our theories are correct, there was a time where there was nothing. Maybe it could be god?.... ...... JOOOOOOKE :P
drew2pac And maybe this god could be the same god who had to magic up water into existence in order to flood a bunch of indeterminate mammals on some indeterminate spec of dust in some indeterminate solar system in one indeterminate galaxy in order to feel better about his fuckups...? Hahahaha. I crack me up.
***** You cannot say it's impossible, because in order to conclude that you have to have an absolute 100% true knowledge of the Universe. Maybe there's some forces and laws of physics we don't know about yet and they will help us to find an answer to this question in the future. 200 years ago they've said it's impossible for man to fly, and look at us now.
One of the scariest theories I've come across is that if there were another mass extinction event, the resources that we tapped to gain our current understanding would not be available to subsequent iterations of surviving life. Those that emerge thereafter will not have the energy potential to achieve our level of understanding.
axelasdf Agreed. I think this also makes the case for not waiting too long to expand into space. With a growing population and growing energy consumption per capita, we'll consume a lot of the easy accessible fossil fuels. We should have established ourselves in space before such ventures become too costly to do.
axelasdf That's a hypothesis, not a theory, and it's also untrue. Our potential for renewable energy far exceeds fossil fuels. The only issue is how little time and effort we've put into them.
***** Before it's too late, yes. I don't see mankind getting off the fossil fuel drip _ever_. The inertia is so immense that until the majority realizes the problem, it might be too late. So a bunch of visionaries have to push for this _while_ the disaster slowly unfolds. I would prefer your version too of course, but I'm pessimistic on that.
axelasdf I remember this very problem being the basis of a sci-fi story were humans "mined" Saturn's Moon Titan for hydrocarbons to replenish everything we had "wasted" during our industrialization. Because precisely as you say, should something happen to their advanced civilization, then the next ones to get out of the stone age wouldn't have oil, gas and coal to go back into space in the first place.
What if matter and antimatter WERE created in equal amounts, but distributed unevenly? Maybe the reason there is only matter left in this part of the universe is because there are entire galaxies of antimatter in some more remote part of the universe, where we can't observe? (Though, I'm still confused as to how photons became matter then, but not now. Is it simply the high concentration?) And when we say that the observable universe started out from such a tiny point, does that mean that the entire universe (including the unobservable parts) started out in that same small point? Or did the universe start out infinite, and it's just that small point which expanded into the part of the universe we can observe?
Shawn Ravenfire I think during the later times of the development of the universe there is a lot of energy has been escaping into other dimensions (think of wavelengths and we are just in one part). This makes normally strong forces seam weak this far along (part of them is not in this universe, part of them is). This is typical of gravity, and why you are not absolutely bonded to the matter around you. I believe this is where most of the antimatter is, and it tethers to gravity allowing antimatter to effect and hold galaxies. I am not a scientist just into this stuff. None of this is confirmed but it's easy for me to put it together.
While I don't believe that God snapped his fingers and formed the universe in a literal week, I think that God did have something to do worth this, creating the. Little particle in a way that it would unfold how it did, Gods master plan. This happened, and it happened because God made it happen.
frosted1030 "you wouldn't want a bunch of gullible humans wandering about simply beLIEving any old iron-age storybook, now would you?" *That's exactly why it won't be taught in most American schools. There are already a bunch of people like that and they won't allow it to happen. Religious parents still fight back against sex education and have succeeded a few times. Stuff like this probably won't be taught in American schools nationwide for awhile.*
Wait, two things. One, where did the tinny bit of all matter and energy come from? And where did all that heat come from? Heat doesn't exist without a source.
You have left the field of science and entered philosophy. Just like the egg and the chicken, if we need the heat to make the matter, but to make the heat we need a source we have a paradox on our hands. Is it god? A miracle? Pick your belief and don't ponder it too hard, cause chances are you won't find the solution.
Nobody really knows where the bit of energy came from, there are theories, but none of them have been proven. Also, compression creates heat, you can try it with your hands. If you press your hands together as hard as you can, they will begin to get hotter. In the case of the bit of highly compressed matter, it was impossible for it to be as cold as the universe is now. What made it so compressed, nobody knows either, but the most logical theory is that there was another universe before this one, where the energy pushing everything away from each other gradually became weaker, and gravity "won". This caused "The Big Crunch", were all matter crashed together into an extremely small, extremely hot ball of matter. This raises the question though, if there was a previous universe, how was it created, and if it was created the same way, then has there been infinite universes, or was one at some point in time created, or like fspsyco1 said, has there been a gradual increase in matter through the higgs boson over an extremely long amount of time, causing, through The Big Crunch, larger and larger universes each time there is a Crunch.
TheRobloxcoasterman the bad part is eventually this universe will become so stretched out that we won't be able to see any of the other galaxy's and another thing it could be is that were part of an even larger scale cluster of universes ie "multiverse theory" (i'm glad some one with a better knowledge on the subject was able to explain it better thanks)
Yes. When stars die they fuse heavier and heavier elements I.e. Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon etc. When star start to fuse iron, that's the end. All elements in our body; hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, iron came from a dying star(s) in our region of the galaxy that died long before our sun was born.

The Earth began to cool, The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools, We built a wall (we built the pyramids), Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries, That all started with the big bang?
muh1h1 In a nutshell yes
BAZINGA!
I can't be the only one that just sang that comment, right? :)-
muh1h1 as Dr Michio Kaku said, 'It all started with a big bang.'
muh1h1 I'm restarting from season 1 because of this thanks :) Love that show.
Neil.....will you be my Uncle?
+Charlie Sulcer But...that's just not true?!?
+Nidorino Alliance Heh? How can a question be true or false?

A Brief History of Everything, Creationism Edition:
*clears throat*
God did it.
The end.
Cryser morad No.
Scramblieggs LOL
xXxDeWxXx Cryser morad Don't be rude. It's just as smart as your theories.
Isaac Callaway We have evidence. God has zero evidence other than fairy tales.
xXxDeWxXx You have theories, not evidence. and sure, those theories do have some great evidence, but in the end they are still theories.
We are the Universe, we are conscious, we are the universe's consciousness: therefore pantheism, immortality and the end of old organised religions. Bow down to your new God; YOU
He is a paid governemnt science bullshitter
:D
#NotFromYorkshire
Michael Anne McAllister, RN Yea but he has a point, since science wins.
Kallahan moss , only to the limited of discernmemt
(0:34) "For reasons unknown, this point began to expand..."
(2:10) "For reasons unknown, this symmetry... had been broken..."
(5:32) "... by a mechanism unknown, their emerged simple anaerobic bacteria..."
The unknowns intrigue me the most, I think.
Erin Howarth because we still need to find explanations and completely fill the gaps (of course, they can't be just wild guesses but to be demostraded and even testable).
Those areas leave room for interpretation. There are some things I believe science, as you would define it, can never prove.
Erin Howarth some religion thoughts can help fill you the gaps on that matter.
Erin Howarth *cough* God *cough cough*
*Grabs popcorn and waits for warfare*
Erin Howarth I agree..As a scientist they also intrigue me the most because they are the ones we have yet to understand..that is why we have to do our best to do so
Every time Neil Degrasse Tyson says something I get Inspired and motivated.
Reasons unknown = God?! Nope.
Reasons unknown = reasons unknown yet
Because that's how science works. We know a lot more than we did a 100 years ago. Science may find God one day but until then, we cannot say God exists. How is this so difficult to understand?
***** Who's to say the whole universe wasn't created just last Thursday by a magical elf who gave it the _appearance_ of something billions of years old? Who's to say that the whole universe isn't just the sneezings of some unfathomable extradimensional creature? Musings like what you and I just made are _unfalsifiable hypotheses_. For pretty much self-explanatory reasons, unfalsifiable hypotheses are absolutely useless when it comes to increasing knowledge. So while it may be fun to make them, they can't be taken seriously.
AlbertaGeek I dont care what it is , be it a magical elf or whatever being - something
have created the world and it was proven at the begining of the video.
he says : all the observable universe was at the volume of less than one trillion the size of a point of a pen.
Yet - IT EXISTED! without a being that is eternal and that created this universe- its impossible for something to magicly appear.
YamiYami17
If "god' is being defined as an entity that kick-started the universe and possibly "guided" the development of it, yes.
***** Lets have it your way. there is no god , right? so those physics and tempature (who i honestly cant believe was ALWAYS there - but lets leave it) they created an entire universe from scratch?!
ive been asking this question to so many atheist over the years and i could never get an snwer for that :S
well ur agnostic then.. its a different case because being agnostic makes much more sense .still , I dont think there will be any evidence for its existence or not. its why we believe god exist insted of know it is.
The quote "We are all made of star stuff." should be change to "We are all made of matter that survived annihilation."
Sky シ That does make it sound much more bad ass.
Now get Morgan Freeman to narrate a video!!
Naqu Watch 'Through the Wormhole'.
Naqu Dat PMD:GTI youtube avatar, though
***** and Bill Nye is more actor than scientist. seriously, look his life up. Sure he does mechanical engineering but his show is what got him places.
***** and even though, nye is able to explain science to people who have no clue what it is...remember that debate with ham? He did an awesome job
*****
Obviously you dont want to put 3 and 7 together. Im hoping you ARE capable of that, but I'll do it for you anyways. I will not respond again but I will read carefully and will agree or disagree
to whatever is replied. Giving you the last word is not only the most mature thing to do, it is what is necessary to help you continue as a person. Now for the actual argument
Morgan Freeman, an actor, does not know most of what he narrates.
Bill Nye, an actor and mechanical engineer, knows at least half of what he talks about (because ,face it, its all common knowledge once you're past 7th grade).
Both persons renowned for their positions as actors. 1 for his voice, 1 for his influence.
Bill Nye had a show with content for a preteen which still taught millions of American children about general science.
Morgan Freeman hosts a show called "Through the Wormhole" (thanks +Sam Jabery) for a more interested audience but still succeeds in its ratings.
The point is that each man had an acting career and didnt really need to know about what they are talking about. Its all scripted anyways.
More examples?
Did Donald Sutherland know anything about governing a country in the "Hunger Games"? Im presuming not since he's an actor and not a government official.
Did Danny Glover know about anything about being the president of the United Stats in "2012" (film)? Well... not much. We all learn it in grade school.
Both men did amazingly in their movies. Were they, in any point in their lives, the head of a country? Nope. Talking about something is not restricted to whether or not you know the topic. If you are given words and was told to look at a camera and say the words, you can easily do that. Hell Im working on electrical engineering and Im talking about acting.
I will leave it at that. If you have any kinds of rebuttals than go ahead and post them.
I love how Neil used the phrase "by a mechanism unknown" for talking about the first life on earth. That goes to show how open minded the theories that he has explained are.
I just noticed that Neil sounds almost exactly like blakinola.
seekingseaker RIGHT! I thought it was just me
seekingseaker Yeah, now that you mention it I see it.
Really similar.
Powerpuff God You forgot the best part, at the end.
*Oh baby!*
No, Blakinola sounds like Neil Degrasse Tyson.
seekingseaker damn, other league players are interested in science too!!!
This video is awesome and Neil Degrasse Tyson should have his own RUclips channel. :)
Paru Ap He technically does. Check out Startalk radio
ndnpro64 thanks man!
Paru Ap Star talk radio comes close
He already has many tv shows and apears on youtube on many channels. And he is a full time proffesor. I dont think he got the time for even more stuff
Bill Nye also is in Star Talk Radio sometimes.
I wonder how much time we have before the creationist find this....
***** Hi.
Can I believe in both?
Joseph Hili You can believe what you want. Belief doesn't affect what actually happened.
***** Yes, your belief in evolution doesn't change the fact that we are God's creation.
***** *whispering* they're already here....
I could listen to him forever!
I can't believe all this happened in 6000 years
Hahaha
Kieran L (you need to make the sarcasm more obvious)
Kieran L but earth only turned 2015 recently ;( ??? how does it work? they should explain this in school! Did the roman empire exist before earth was born?
KirbyKingEddy Schools are just communists telling complete lies, duh...
Kieran L Allahu akbar
I like Neil so much, his voice and the way he lecture astrophysics is amazing. If there is a sucessor to Sagan's legacy, it must be him; such an awesome educator.
For half a second, I thought this was a FootOfAFerret video. :D Neil DeGrasse Tyson is so awesome
Pranav Eswaran yeah me too
Pranav Eswaran I miss his show ... :(
Furiia he's on matthewpattrick13
Pranav Eswaran Ferrets don't make RUclips videos. Especially not with their feet.
Please have some respect for ferret sociology.
isnt this guy the guy who hosted "COSMOS"?
He is.
Yes.
yes
The recent series yes but not the old series that is Carl Sagan.
Braxton Meyer are you sure about that? They look pretty similar to me🤔
I love to watch these types of videos when im sad or depressed, they really remind me how wonderful and precious life really is
I love this video so much. It gives me the same feelings of awe and hope that I felt when I took my first astronomy class in high school. Now I'm on my way to getting a degree in Astrophysics!
This is a great summary by the way! We learned all this in a lot more detail in an introductory course, so if you're curious, take it at your university!
um Neil...you forgot the part about talking snakes and growing women from ribs
Furlog Giant And big bearded angry men in the sky.
That's because he is going to hell and so are the lot of you for watching this! (Except me)
Tell me another joke
+Monkeeyo: Burning bush that talks to you. A talking donkey. Sticks turning into snakes. A completely dead man becomes alive without any medical procedures but with the simple words "Come out of the Rock!" The universe forming in 6 days.
Tim R. yeah
he forgot all that science
"Keep looking up" ,... that's so inspiring. :)
I respect Neil deGrasse Tyson so much! Lucky that he exists in the same era as me !
So photons helped create matter? So matter was created by light?
***** The matter that was destroyed became light. Not the other way round.
(edit, I misheard, it indeed happens in both directions, as per the vid)
narco73 OOHHHHHHHHH....*rewatches video 5 times....I GET IT NOW
***** No, narco73 is wrong. The process is symmetrical. At high energy, photons decay into particle-antiparticle-pairs. Those pairs in turn generate photons, when they come together. First there where only those photons, which decayed into pairs, which then annihilated back to photons. When the universe cooled down the energy of the photons was not sufficient to create more pairs and the almost all of the pairs annihilated, leaving behind a tiny bit of matter, due to unknown reasons.
So yes, light did in fact create matter :)
only2ndplace Ok I just shit my brains out my ass
only2ndplace I stand corrected (and it was something I should have known if I thought about it a bit longer), I was just repeating the emphasised part in the video. Turns out I missed a bit. doh
:)
should have included the magnetic field that protects us from solar wind
A. G-E There is a great deal which could have been included, you have to draw the line somewhere =p
pvtfg4 True, because he would have had to talk about the formation of earth's core to really make sense of it.
pvtfg4 He drew a lot of lines, everywhere.
Sean Flamand Well, not _everywhere_, that's the point. Time is limited.
patu8010 I know. I was just making a joke about the absurdity of telling MinutePhysics to draw lines.
We are all made of star stuff...
#Universe and #Everything
But not by accident...Neil.
Absolutely - rooted in Nature. Good morning, from a windy UK. Have a great week:)
To believe or non-believe now that is the question... I was thinking I am just a figment of your imagination! lol. x50 lul ... luv u lots xx
***** physics is an accident. The odds do not add up my friend..
Not in billions or even trillions of years.. or in an infinite amount of time would it ever.
***** reality is more than just numbers. How close can an object get to another without touch. Using physics they never touch. In reality they they do. Neil is a guesser he sees things only in black or white. He's way..or no way.
I will call him 'Nail' Tyson. He nailed it !!! (as always :P)
god damn it barb
+Ricky Kienbaum ayyyy
after you
For every billion matter particles, there is a Neo. Which defeats it's anti-matter particle using kung fu. We are Neo, we are the matrix. Because Science!
To the top!
We exist thanks to the Neo matter
i can't watch this without thinking about bill wurtz's video
Leonardo Filippini history of the world😂😂😂😂
OH MY GOD SAME
same
Leonardo Filippini I was thinking this
yeah but that's a memey version and i think we shouldnt talk about it
Yeah but tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that
Gerald Picklestein sun goes up, sun goes down, you cant explain that!
Guy above me missed the joke
trustnoone woooooosh
There is gravity on earth and on sun but the sun is much more massive which should mean more gravity but when I throw a rock at the sun, it comes down and hits the neighbour cat. You can't explain that!
That "for reason unknown" hold the ultimate mystery of the universe.
Oh My God Waddles the Pig narrating! This is awesome.
Kev San best pig ever
Why do men have nipples?
Pipi Chi There was no evolutionary disadvantage to men having nipples, so there was no selection pressure to remove them from men. At the same time, every physical difference between male and female requires increased complexity in the genes, so there was an evolutionary advantage not not removing them from men.
Pipi Chi Simply put, everyone's is formed a girl in the early stages of pregnancy. Gender is decided afterwards, thus, you might think of it like a "rough sketch", the details are added later. Some parts are removed, others are added and/or untouched. The nipples are some of the part that are untouched!
Kev San And bring me potatoes. Delicious potatoes. Yummy yummy, for my fat little pig tummy.
Then years down the road ,we find out everything we know is wrong. Quantum physics continues on expansively overriding everything once solidified in physics, Einstein's theory of general relativity ceases to make sense in the grander scheme of things, and we end back at square one in an eternal quest to figure out the impossible. Imagine that. The crazy thing is, it's very possible.
RustyFiReWorKs Would never happen. If General Relativity was so wrong, the predicts it lets us make, and the machines it lets us, and the calculations we use it, would all be wrong, which they ain't. Einstein might not have had the whole truth (just like Newton didn't before him), but he has enough right, that saying we'd be back to square one, is just plain wrong.
RustyFiReWorKs Just like how we no longer use Newtons Laws now that we have general relativity.
RustyFiReWorKs You're almost right, if it were not for the fact that Galileo's model prove extremely useful to this day.
***** I think you misunderstood him (although he did worded it a bit wierd). He's not saying General Relativity is wrong he's saying as the universe continues to expand all the mass in the universe will be so far apart that the gravitational forces will get weaker and weaker until it becomes obsolete. Hence general relativity will become obsolete and quantum physics will dominate the universe.
RustyFiReWorKs GR is not wrong. It's just incomplete. What it _does_ describe is pretty accurate. Any new more complete theory has to, by necessity, be a superset of GR; in other words, it has to explain everything that GR does (and has been experimentally verified) in addition to whatever else it explains.
It's the same as GR vs. Newtonian gravity: GR did not prove Newtonian gravity wrong. It's a superset of Newtonian gravity, because the latter is incomplete. (When you limit sizes, masses and velocities to be within certain ranges, GR approximates Newtonian gravity.)
Easily the single best educational science video there ever was. A perfectly coherent story that is honest about its limitations, and Henry's animation to give the words the visual body they need to be remembered well -- inspiring, mr. Reich and mr. Tyson.
dam i should have paid attention in science and math
and English
Kebo Kev they don't teach u this in school. Not the way neil says it. In school they say "boom and bam.... Earth forms and u born from mom and dad and stuff happens and here u are.... Now go to next class bitch ass kids
AyToNiic or thats just what your dumbass thinks since you never bothered to learn something
+Fawk u looking at? please stop insulting people, this is the internet your supposed to said stupid shit.
there's a typo there because I don't check my spell... it's a bad habit
Since the universe is still cooling, is it possible that we're suddenly going to have a new force?
+Darris Hawks We don't have sufficient information. Who knows, maybe electricity will one day split from magnetism altogether, or something like that, or perhaps we just don't yet have the words to describe this split, or maybe it won't happen at all. But with this cooling down, one thing we can probably expect is the heat death.
+Darris Hawks No, unless you can go colder than absolute zero.
+Darris Hawks I don't think so, and here is why: the forces appeared over time because the universe was cooling down. Ok. Why won't any forces suddenly appear? Because we have already created temperatures from near absolute zero to hundreds of millions of degrees, so if there were any unknown fundamental forces we would have at least noticed them! That is my point of view. If you throw dark energy in the game, we may be facing a new force, one that works in gigantic scales or maybe even not with regular matter, but this one have nothing to do with your question hahahah
No, as people already said, we have already almost reached the lowest temperature possible in our universe, but actually reaching it is impossible so.. No new forces for us :D
5000mahmud you can’t even go to absolute zero
I know it's all a theory but if it really was so hot it bend space and time and broke the very laws of natures, I think it's a pretty awesome universe we live in. Make me feel so small
Yeah but we're part of it meaning we're all so small yet so significantly big
We are the part of the universe that is thinking about its self
Jesus "I know it's all a theory but"
Your wording is very suspiciously anti-science. Care to rephrase?
It didn't break the "laws of nature". It created them
Well science is a theory until proven correct. Most of science is based off a theory. Because we will never be able to recreate the events again.
I like how Stravinsky music makes everything more epic.
Yes the Universe had a beginning, yes, the Universe continues to evolve, and yes, every one of our bodies atoms is traceable to the big bang and the thermonuclear furnace within high-mass stars.
We are not simply "in" the Universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the Universe to figure itself out.
And we've only just begun.
What a wonderful perspective
+Matthew Dawsey Another perspective: We are all confined to a small speck floating in space. We have only touched the edge of our own solar system. Every one of us will probably live and die on this tiny rock without venturing far into the place we see every night.
How did that colab happen? Did you propose a skript? Did he approach you? I would like to hear about that

It should be self-evident. It's a cutesy retarded way of saying "babe" turned into a trendy rape of the english language used by teenagers and people who frequent 9gag.
Tanner Rodriguez
Nothing wrong with the modern evolution of english. I just find this word in particular quite annoying. It's one of those words people use to be "ironic" and as a consequence they actually start using it normally, and then it takes all kind of random meanings, like the one on the OP post. Also, it sounds incomplete and retardedI I call for change! #banbae
Tanner Rodriguez
I hope so. Sometimes shit takes a long time to go away, like "keep calm" jokes. We can all do our part by informing people it's time to stop :D

He. Pronounced. Ecosystem. As. Echo-system.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What would be the difference?
Kimmy Awesomness if thats the main complaint - there isnt much to complain about :P
***** it is not an echo, it is eco as in eeeeee-ko
get it?
Kimmy Awesomness no, I'm not a native English speaker. I don't get it.
***** Eco as it is pronounced (E co where E is said as the letter name) indicates a specific environment. Echo, pronounced Ek O (where E sounds like the last part of meh: showing discontent or lack thereof, and O as the letter name) indicating a reverberation or reflection of sound commonly associated with large empty spaces with a large surface area e.g. mountains, canyons, a complete empty house or rooms within, etc. As you can see, they are completed different and unrelated things.
pretty sad I don't learn this in school.

Fawk u looking at? I mean this is at least useful information
This is honestly beautiful, a much more poetic beginning to everything than anything humans have ever made up, a beginning to the universe itself grounded in reason. I think that's why it's so awe inspiring.
Did he just say, "degrees, Kelvin"?!
***** Kelvin is the official scientific scale for temperature measurement. It starts at absolute 0.
pokepat124 Right, but you don't say "400 (or whatever) degrees Kelvin." You say "400 Kelvin," without degrees.
***** kelvin is the standard scientific measure of temperature, it is basically the same as centigrade, but 0 Kelvin (absolute sero) = -273.15 Centigrade
Haha I think so. I feel like it's one of those mistakes everyone has made regardless of how adept they are in the field
Sean Flamand Oh,
I didn't know that.
I love that he put background sound used in Charlie Chaplin movies!!!
Why when I watch a video like this there is ALWAYS an argument about God????
+John Doe Because people are assholes.
+John Doe because many people reject science to believe in a superior being, and many others (like me) reject the idea of a superior being, because science (I said this to make the reasons short). And there's nothing wrong with arguments and debates, the problem is when people get disrespectful and become assholes.
+John Doe Because religious insecurity. Religious people get angry and upset over anything they perceive as challenging their faith. It's written into their religion, from the first half of the 10 Commandments being only about God's insecurity to Jihad against non believers.
Because there's no god :)
FoxMikage Not only that, but Atheist feel the need to insult anyone who is religious.
videos like this (about the origins of space and how much awaits) really inspire me to do something.

Does a moon is made of cheese ?
omg
lmfao
I can't stop laughing. Well done.
Nigga u ain't the la beast
The rumor come out!
Ok so I figured I would give my opinion on this because why not? A lot of people are saying that when he says things like "reasons unknown" a lot that is pointing to some sort of supreme being or "God" if you will. That is not necessarily true, but it is not necessarily false either. Someone in the comments said "It's like we have 75% of a puzzle, so we make up the other 25% in a way which makes the most sense to us." I feel like that sums it up really well. Think about it this way: A really bad car crash happens and there are no survivors or witnesses. The people tasked with investigating this crash have a lot of facts to go by, and can figure out pretty much what happened. However, without actually being there to see it happen they can't know 100% for sure exactly what happened. But they can make educated guesses based on past knowledge and research. The universe is sort of the same way. Yes that is a really basic analogy but what I'm saying is that without being there to actually experience the creation of the universe, we don't actually know. Saying that because we don't have all the answers means that there has to be a God is ridiculous. Also, saying that because the big bang and evolution have been scientifically proven that must disprove a God is ridiculous. Almost every argument for or against a god can be countered by the same argument; for example if someone says "well if the universe wasn't created by a god then what created it?" that can be countered by "well if god created the universe then what created god?" and vice versa. So I say live the life you want to live. Explore the origins of the universe if you wish. Believe that God created everything in an instant if that's what you believe. Share your opinions with the world, but don't hate other people for not believing the same thing you do. Every single person has their own path to take, their own journey, and their own questions to answer. Let them travel that path without fear or judgement.
Nomatophobicane that's are the opinions i want to see, and that people must look up to, you made good observation, hope more people gonna read it too.
Nomatophobicane Rad.
Nomatophobicane Why doesnt this comment have more likes?
Nomatophobicane Eventually, it will become widely realized that for many centuries, "God" has been the go-to explanation for things we do not know, and that it is an explanation inevitably defeated by new discoveries.
absolutely wonderful, buddyNomatophobicane
I think you forgot to mention God.
Zoutepoel He said "by mechanism unknown" twice in this video. Until those are figured out, you can call them divine intervention if you want :-)
If you're looking for God talk on a science-based channel, you're in the wrong place.
What? This is 60% true.
Zoutepoel That's a b8, m8!
***** I wouldn't base your entire world view or ethical foundation on those mechanisms remaining unknown, however. Science has a way of filling in gaps, and so far none of those gaps have revealed a sapient creator-god when filled.
"keep looking up" is kind of a perfect 'quote' to get tattooed. i love astronomy and astrophysics since i was a kid, this was a great collaboration video :)
and yet there are still people who will believe in creationism.
Is the song Darude - Sandstorm?

Vitor Okuhara Some Compilation of Firebird by Stravinsky
No it's darude-sandstorm
I think future scientists will debunk all this, starting with the big bang and universe being 15billion years old. Time is relative to our conditions. We only measure time because the Earth rotates around the sun every 365 days and light turns into darkness for about half the day length. Time is still, we're moving through it.
It could happened but with the evidence we have of the earth age and the Big Bang are so overwhelming that it is consider fact and these theories could change a little but keep the same main idea. I highly doubt that time would debunk these theories, in fact Time would advance the evidence we have an enhance our the Big Bang Theory :) Science rules
***** It's certainly possible that time has no beginning or end, but what is very difficult to dispute is that around 14 billion years ago, the universe was very hot and dense. Whether that epoch was "the beginning" is debatable, but the evidence for a dense phase, followed by a sudden expansion phase, followed by a galaxy formation phase, is significant. Our big bang could have been one of an infinite series of big bangs. It is still our big bang, the beginning of our observable universe.
Kyle Baldwin "It is still our big bang, the beginning of our observable universe." Beautifully said.Please do some research on Halton Arp. He was a big opponent of the BBT, and had several theories against the notion that recessional velocity is the only thing capable of producing a red shift. Through mathematical and observable work studying galaxies and quasars he proved that redshifts don't work the same way in space as they do on Earth. Since Red shifts is the building block of Hubbles theory on expanding universe. You can pretty much throw that theory out the window and start back from scratch.
Offtopic:
The illustrations are top-notch. Such clarity and simplicity make it very understandable, and attractive too!
I desperately hope that, if we fail as a species and succumb to the dangers of the universe with only one video remaining to represent us, I hope this is it.
This video made my 8 year old nephew hit puberty.
I've watched this several times. It just keeps gettin bad-ass-er and bad-ass-er every time.
Perfect for my Earth and Space science class.
Excellent video btw - now if we could just get this taught in schools, that would be great.
*My followers won't allow that.*
***** isn't it already?
It is, it's an amazing thing called college.
***** Much of this is taught in higher education. If you were to study physics at undergraduate level and take modules in cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics you would learn all of this and much much more. It's very interesting. However, it is a shame they don't give you an insight into this sort of science during compulsory education, I imagine a lot more people would follow a science related career path if they did :)
***** It is in some places, but not enough. The problem is that many science teachers (and I can testify for some of mine) don't actually even believe this stuff (preposterous I know), so they deprive their students of it. This leads to nationwide ignorance. I say that if you are not willing to take scientific understanding and reasoning as fact, you have absolutely no reason to be a teacher ever, and you should be REQUIRED to show a good understanding of this stuff to be a science teacher of any level that could have even anything remotely close to this content to teach.

The "draw my life" of the begginning of all
From what I have learned so far about humans, this explanation of life on earth makes
a lot of sense because of these key sentences: "for reasons unknown", "asymmetry really, really important", "we´ve only just began".
This is the advanced version of "history of the entire world, i guess"
he uses the word "reasons unknown" 3 times. when we will get those answers?
E SC August 14th
E SC Might be tommorrow, or we might not even get them. There are questions about the past no one will ever be able to answer.
E SC TBA
E SC eventully.
E SC That's why we have science to find the answers.
did you know you can do science by yourself?
Did you paint/color your hand blue for this? I noticed how it looked red here, while the colors are inverted.
The opposite of red is green, not blue. But still, its a weird color
+Nixel To me it looks as if just the lightness/value (in HSL/HSV) were inverted.
The music, reading, voice and diagrams are amazing.

Yes yes YES
"The universe don't know it be but it do" - Black Science Man
When did he say that?
"People don't think the Universe be like it is, but it do" -Black Science Man
What does it mean when we say that forces join / split?
***** Kinda hard to describe. Imagine that it was so hot back then that physics was literally broken.
gcircle I kind of got that much, was hoping for more detail.
***** When it's too hot and dense, everything kind of fuses together. When the universe expanded and cooled, the unified force split into four. That's why for instance we can't figure out what's going on inside a black hole; it's too dense and hot.
If we could find a mathematic formula that could describe a unified force and not just parts of it (special relativity for the big, quantum mechanics for the small) then perhaps scientists could give you a more detailed and understandable description of what you want to know.
Unifying the different forces and laws is kind of the holy grail of mathematics since it would hold the power to explain almost everything. Which is why it's sometimes referred to as "the theory of everything".
LaLiLuLeLo hif What does "everything fuses together" mean in terms of forces though? I understand that matter is compressed when things are hot and dense, but what does it mean that forces are? As an example, when the electromagnetic force fuses with the weak nuclear force, what do photons do? Are there still photons?
***** Maybe everything is so hot that the particles that carry each force - like gravitrons for gravity, don't remember the names for the others - couldn't organize, and were all mixed together because they carried all that energy. Kinda like when water and an imiscile substance can mix if heated enough, but would separate after cooling. Or, maybe there was no particles for each force, but rather one single, "everything" particle, that only exists at those temperatures, and as it cooled down, it started to break down into those four components,
Science! Amazing the way he can break down complex subject matter for the layman like me to understand.
So I showed this to my parents, and I got a lecture that science can't explain how the universe came to be and that God made everything.
demi tadrous Luckily, just because they insist on remaining ignorant, does not mean you have to.
That's why I don't talk religion with my parents. Fear of getting an ass whoopin for not believing in a God. At least I'm reading the bible to make them happy.
demi tadrous Well, the good thing is, you don't have to listen to them. By definition, Science tries to explain everything by simply observing. God has 0 physical evidence behind it. Science, by definition, has a lot more than 0 physical evidence. If you want, respond with this: Show evidence of God. If they show you the Bible, or whatever text that they follow, say that the Bible(or other religious text) isn't evidence; its just a collection of papers with ink on them that contain some type of meaning. If they show you Earth, say that its just a giant rock. etc. If they still insist, ask them to explain the universe in terms of God.
*That's what I want them to think.*
demi tadrous Me: (if i did)
>shows to parents
Dad: It's nice that you're learning more about our universe, son!
Mom: WTF GET THIS FUCKING SHIT OFF ME GOD DID IT IN 7 DAYS
Dad: nonono calm your ass down bitch the 7 days thing was just an oversimplification of the authors because people were retards in circa 3000bc
Mom: (storms off the room)
I actually find it baffling. What existed before the universe? Where does it end? I know the scientific answers for these questions, but with 'human brain logic', it seriously blows my mind. The very fact that, assuming our theories are correct, there was a time where there was nothing.
Maybe it could be god?....
...... JOOOOOOKE :P
***** Nothing is impossible
***** I get that. It is just mind blowing that's all. The fact that time never existed. I'm speaking from a purely non-scientific manner though.
But isn't time is just an concept; not tangible matter or energy, right?
drew2pac
And maybe this god could be the same god who had to magic up water into existence in order to flood a bunch of indeterminate mammals on some indeterminate spec of dust in some indeterminate solar system in one indeterminate galaxy in order to feel better about his fuckups...?
Hahahaha. I crack me up.
***** You cannot say it's impossible, because in order to conclude that you have to have an absolute 100% true knowledge of the Universe. Maybe there's some forces and laws of physics we don't know about yet and they will help us to find an answer to this question in the future. 200 years ago they've said it's impossible for man to fly, and look at us now.
One of the scariest theories I've come across is that if there were another mass extinction event, the resources that we tapped to gain our current understanding would not be available to subsequent iterations of surviving life. Those that emerge thereafter will not have the energy potential to achieve our level of understanding.
axelasdf Agreed. I think this also makes the case for not waiting too long to expand into space. With a growing population and growing energy consumption per capita, we'll consume a lot of the easy accessible fossil fuels. We should have established ourselves in space before such ventures become too costly to do.
axelasdf
That's a hypothesis, not a theory, and it's also untrue. Our potential for renewable energy far exceeds fossil fuels. The only issue is how little time and effort we've put into them.
Adrian
So rather than focus on renewable energy, you'd rather we embark on of the of most energy intensive projects human kind could undertake?
*****
Before it's too late, yes. I don't see mankind getting off the fossil fuel drip _ever_. The inertia is so immense that until the majority realizes the problem, it might be too late. So a bunch of visionaries have to push for this _while_ the disaster slowly unfolds.
I would prefer your version too of course, but I'm pessimistic on that.
axelasdf I remember this very problem being the basis of a sci-fi story were humans "mined" Saturn's Moon Titan for hydrocarbons to replenish everything we had "wasted" during our industrialization. Because precisely as you say, should something happen to their advanced civilization, then the next ones to get out of the stone age wouldn't have oil, gas and coal to go back into space in the first place.
I love that they used stravinsky in the background! really stunning video.
What if matter and antimatter WERE created in equal amounts, but distributed unevenly? Maybe the reason there is only matter left in this part of the universe is because there are entire galaxies of antimatter in some more remote part of the universe, where we can't observe? (Though, I'm still confused as to how photons became matter then, but not now. Is it simply the high concentration?)
And when we say that the observable universe started out from such a tiny point, does that mean that the entire universe (including the unobservable parts) started out in that same small point? Or did the universe start out infinite, and it's just that small point which expanded into the part of the universe we can observe?
Shawn Ravenfire I think during the later times of the development of the universe there is a lot of energy has been escaping into other dimensions (think of wavelengths and we are just in one part). This makes normally strong forces seam weak this far along (part of them is not in this universe, part of them is). This is typical of gravity, and why you are not absolutely bonded to the matter around you. I believe this is where most of the antimatter is, and it tethers to gravity allowing antimatter to effect and hold galaxies. I am not a scientist just into this stuff. None of this is confirmed but it's easy for me to put it together.
Shawn Ravenfire OMG stop hurting my brain.
David Welch Interesting hypothesis.
Shawn Ravenfire anti-matter galaxies? hell yeah, sounds awesome! :P
Shawn Ravenfire You can't say anything about the unobservable universe, well, quite frankly, because you can't observe it.
I shit my pants with excitement with those closing statements
Jet fuel can't smoke dank memes
I'm going to cry, that was beautiful. I know it's just physics but the grand scale of everything! It's just... wow.
Thank you minute physics.
It may not involve a god but ALL of this is a goddamn miracle!!!
+Chaka Caca this comment makes me sad
While I don't believe that God snapped his fingers and formed the universe in a literal week, I think that God did have something to do worth this, creating the. Little particle in a way that it would unfold how it did, Gods master plan. This happened, and it happened because God made it happen.
+Nicholas Towns
That's called "" intelligent Design""
LOL, sure it did. Got any evidence for that?
+Iamanatheist Andthisiswhy Do have evidence it didn't happen?
This should be taught in school.
frosted1030 It is? Maybe not this exact video but the concepts are.
frosted1030 in most schools it is
*Not in America.*
God Yes in America.. you wouldn't want a bunch of gullible humans wandering about simply beLIEving any old iron-age storybook, now would you?
frosted1030 "you wouldn't want a bunch of gullible humans wandering about simply beLIEving any old iron-age storybook, now would you?" *That's exactly why it won't be taught in most American schools. There are already a bunch of people like that and they won't allow it to happen. Religious parents still fight back against sex education and have succeeded a few times. Stuff like this probably won't be taught in American schools nationwide for awhile.*
Wait, two things. One, where did the tinny bit of all matter and energy come from? And where did all that heat come from? Heat doesn't exist without a source.
You have left the field of science and entered philosophy. Just like the egg and the chicken, if we need the heat to make the matter, but to make the heat we need a source we have a paradox on our hands. Is it god? A miracle? Pick your belief and don't ponder it too hard, cause chances are you won't find the solution.
+Vegan Brah quarks(matter smaller than an electron that pop in and out of existence all the time)/the higgs field
Nobody really knows where the bit of energy came from, there are theories, but none of them have been proven.
Also, compression creates heat, you can try it with your hands. If you press your hands together as hard as you can, they will begin to get hotter. In the case of the bit of highly compressed matter, it was impossible for it to be as cold as the universe is now. What made it so compressed, nobody knows either, but the most logical theory is that there was another universe before this one, where the energy pushing everything away from each other gradually became weaker, and gravity "won". This caused "The Big Crunch", were all matter crashed together into an extremely small, extremely hot ball of matter.
This raises the question though, if there was a previous universe, how was it created, and if it was created the same way, then has there been infinite universes, or was one at some point in time created, or like fspsyco1 said, has there been a gradual increase in matter through the higgs boson over an extremely long amount of time, causing, through The Big Crunch, larger and larger universes each time there is a Crunch.
TheRobloxcoasterman
the bad part is eventually this universe will become so stretched out that we won't be able to see any of the other galaxy's and another thing it could be is that were part of an even larger scale cluster of universes ie "multiverse theory" (i'm glad some one with a better knowledge on the subject was able to explain it better thanks)

We're made of Star Stuff?
No.
Stars are made of what we're made of!
+Joshua Osei the ingredients in our bodys only come about when a star goes belly up so yeah we are made of star stuff.
Darkman flEx I think I know.....
Yes. When stars die they fuse heavier and heavier elements I.e. Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon etc. When star start to fuse iron, that's the end. All elements in our body; hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, iron came from a dying star(s) in our region of the galaxy that died long before our sun was born.
Michael Kennedy I also know this.... I was just trying to make a joke... 😂
but, Joshua Osei you do know that we're made of star stuff right? I dont know why you're denying that fact?
