But the people who know more than Brian are likely to be introverts who aren't comfortable in social situations much less a camera, and those who might be better in front of camera lack the knowledge to explain things like he does here at the drop of a hat. Brian is the best at being perfectly balanced between the two. He tells you things that you didn't know, but doesn't do so like he thinks you're an idiot.

      @TwiddleBee According to our philosophy, stars don’t compare to a person's soul because the soul is connected to everything. It’s a bit unusual, but our book, the Gita, explains that our souls are drops in the ocean of the infinite. While stars may exist for millions to billions of years, they eventually fade, whereas the soul is eternal and exceptional.

      Far from the truth. On the contrary, there are many scientific facts from the Quran - revealed 1400 years ago. And only now we have been able to confirm through science.
      For example:
      1. The Expansion of the Universe:
      The Quran mentions the expanding universe long before modern science discovered it:
      “وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ”
      (And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.) [Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:47)]
      This aligns with the discovery of the universe’s expansion by Edwin Hubble in 1929.
      2. Embryology:
      The stages of human embryonic development are described in detail:
      “خَلَقْنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ أَمۡشَاجٖ نَّبۡتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرًا”
      (We created man from a mixed drop to test him; and We made him hearing and seeing.) [Surah Al-Insan (76:2)]
      Modern embryology confirms the stages described in the Quran, a knowledge inaccessible to humans in the 7th century.

    3 reasons:
    1) They are so far away from us that they could live out their entire lifespans without even 1 photon reaching our night sky... thus meaning that other stars would die before the new star would appear in our sky...
    2) The light from stars too far away is redshifted to the extent that it is invisible.
    3) The universe is expanding faster than the light from those stars can reach us.

    “47. We constructed the universe with power, and We are expanding it.” “ وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ “.

      @@BradClaps Mentioned in Quran 18:86.
      “He(Dhul Qarnain) found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people”.
      Critics take the words sun sets in the muddy spring out of context.
      The above Quran verse is about the vision of Dhul Qarnain.
      Notice the words “he found” behind “setting in a spring of dark mud" in the English translation.
      The word find in English means perceive by chance or unexpectedly.
      He found sun setting in muddy water strange because he never came to such place before.
      Dhul Qarnain was actually seeing a muddy water in front of him and sun was setting in it.
      The arabic word for find is wajada and this arabic word is present in the above quran verse . The word wajada meaning he found is used by today's arabic speakers . It was also used in classical (old) arabic.
      Imagine you went to a sea and you find sun setting in water.
      When you tell your friends that you found the sun setting in water you are talking about your perception /vision/experience and not a fact.
      Some verses of bible on astronomy.
      Earth and Heavens have pillars in Bible.
      Regarding ‘the Heavens’, the Bible says in Job, Ch. 26, Verse 11, that…‘The pillars of the Heaven will tremble.’
      Qur’an says in Surah Luqman, Ch. 31, Verse No.10, that…‘The Heavens are without any pillars - Don`t you see? Don’t you see the Heavens are without any pillars? - Bible says heaven have got pillars.
      Point No. 9 - Not only do the Heavens have got pillars - Bible says in the first book of Samuel, Ch. No.2 Verses No.8, as well as the book of Job Ch. No.9, Verse No.6, and the book of Psalms Ch. No.75, Verse No.3, that… ‘Even the earth have got pillars.’
      Do you find any pillar in Earth and Heaven .
      The mentioned bible verse writer thought that like buildings have pillars even the earth and heavens have pillars .
      Matthew 21:21.
      “Jesus replied, 'I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.'"
      I challenge any "faithful" believing Christian to move one brick, not a mountain with his sight or words. Have any Christian from the time of Jesus till now been able to do it?
      Mark 16:17-18.
      "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
      Again, I challenge any Christian to allow himself to get bit by a poisonous rattle snake or cobra and survive its venom.
      Does this mean no "Christian" is a real Christian? Did Jesus say that no one will ever be a believer, since they can't lift mountains with their eye sights nor survive deadly poisons?

    Energy and matter are the same thing, and without it, time would not exist because there would be nothing for time to relate to. Meanwhile, photons do not experience time. They "experience" their entire existence at once. So, if there was nothing, then time would not pass or exist.
    The expansion of the universe is like filling up a balloon. It creates more space between everything inside the balloon, rather than expanding outside of it.
    This means the further away things are from each other, the faster they will move away from each other. Since the speed of light is determined and not endless, if the distances are large enough, the expansion of the universe will outpace the speed of light, and thus that light will never reach us.
    This is why we have a "bubble" around ourselves that we call the observable universe. We cannot see anything beyond it because the light will never reach us. The only exception to this is through gravitational lensing, where a large mass object, such as a galaxy, at the very edge of the observable universe may bend light behind it due to its gravitational force, allowing us to see things behind it, although that light will be distorted.

      @ViliamF. 2 месяца назад

      We can only see visible light. There is much more light in the sky, than just the range of ~300-800 nm wavelengths. And it's not just the stars that produce light, (almost) every chunk of matter does, even us. We mainly produce infrared, aka heat radiation, because we're too cold to glow in the visible range. But if you heat almost any metal enough, it starts glowing red, orange, yellow, and eventually white, because at that point the glow is too bright for your eyes or usual cameras (that are basically made to replicate our eyes) to distinguish the red, green, and blue light from it (also a bright enough light of any single color would look white, even though it doesn't contain the other colors). Due to red shift, the light from many far away stars is no longer in the visible range for us to see.

      Not exactly true but kind of. Still a lot more true than this flat earth stuff haha. Red shift is a thing and everything you said about it is true. The only thing is that red shit is a very slow process and wouldn’t explain why we can only see with the naked eye the stars that are up to around 1000 light years away. To see something you need a lot of photons to enter your eye and the further something is the fewer photons get to us. Not because they’re destroyed or lost but because they’re spread across a wider area making them rarer and rarer. That’s why telescopes have big lenses, to focus the little light we get from some star into your eye. Red shift is just slower than that and only needs to be accounted for when you use much more powerful telescopes most people will never even see

    The universe, like the rest of the natural organic world, is in a constant state of flux. Nothing is where it was last century, last decade or even last year. It is constantly moving away from our field of vision. Think of a cup or a tub of water (the universe). Now, into that cup/tub of water you place a concentrated clump of crumbs (planets) dead center in the middle. What do those crumbs (planets) eventually start doing, on their own?? They start expanding or separating apart. Same principle.

      What you are describing is the difference between "the universe" and "the observable universe". The observable universe is what can be observed from Earth. And it's not our technology, but the speed of light which limits the observable universe. The light simply hasn't had time to reach us. Technology can allow us to see more of the observable universe, but no amount of technology allows us to see light which hasn't had time to reach us.

    • @liu3chan

      Our technology isn't the problem. What's holding us back is speed limit of our universe - the speed of light. Universe is expanding faster than speed of light (but since it's not a thing moving through space it doesn't have to obey the speed limit) so the light from things outside our observable universe will never reach us. FTL in science fiction is pure fiction. There isn't even a theoretical way to move Faster Than Light. *It's physically impossible.*

      But light can travel an infinite distance to us.

    He's wrong by the way, even in an infinite universe with infinitely many stars, not all lines of sight would end on a star. Just imagine an infinite grid with a tree at each point. Are there lines of sights not ending on a tree? This is called the lattice problem. There are infinitely many such lines... one example is at the angle of the golden ratio. It avoids all trees.

      if more exists beyond the space of the observable universe, then the universe may be infinite. whatever is responsible for the creation of the universe can not be scaled back in time, which means it may be eternal. there is, of course, no even distribution of our stars.
      remember, what we're talking about here is the OBSERVABLE universe, not the universe as a whole. we have no clue if there is more beyond what we can observe, we have no clue how far it may go, how old it may be, or if there really might be some sort of even distribution.
      as for the observable universe itself, it is approximately 13.8 billion years old, 93 billion light-years across (in any direction afaik), and it is very obvious the stars are not evenly spread.

      @@palea1335 well said, i think in one of the dozens of podcasts about astronomy and physics ive watched someone said along the lines of this: The big bang is a location in space rather than a moment in time because the big bang might well be the origin of time itself and there is nothing “before” the origin of time and space. I probably butchered it though lol

      Hubble was the first to find this out in 1928 but it was revealed in the Quran thousands years ago about the universe expanding. It’s a something worth looking into.

    I thought of this when i was 3 i remember vividly i was walking with my mom we were going to the grocery store and we were waiting at a light to cross the street. While waiting i remember looking at the sky and realising this. As i aged, i realized that if the universe is infinite, no matter what direction you look at you look at an exact copy of our local universe, with an exact copy of our solar system, of our earth, and ultimately you look at an exact copy of you with the same exact life, staring back at you, wondering just like you.

    It makes me so sad that nowadays most people have no idea what the night sky looks like without light pollution.
    I live in a relatively small town in the Himalayas, and even I can only see the brightest of stars and planets if I were to look out. I remember waking up at 3 in the morning one night (I was in pain due to period cramps), and I just sat by my bedroom window, looking at the Orion constellation. I wasn't able to see the entirety of it, but the belt and the body was visible. It was such a surreal experience, I was even able to make out which stars were red and which were blue.
    I don't know if it was my hormones or whatever, but I teared up looking up at it. The sight was so soothing that I eventually fell asleep, and slept like a baby until the morning.
    We were meant to see the stars.

I love to go on space engine and set the lighting to "realistic" and see roughly what a true dark sky looks like. Obviously it's not exact, but it's still really fascinating how little we are able to see because of all the light around us. I would love to go to the darkest place on earth and admire the night sky

    Other possible reasons:
    1. All of the emitted light from a star that died a long time ago has already passed earth.
    2. Obstacles obstructing view of the light (clouds, gas, dust, asteroids, planets, black holes, etc.)
    3. The stars we don't see are simply too far away, and the light hasn't traveled this far yet.
    4. Our eyes don't have the capacity to see light from stars past a certain threshold.
