    The trick to getting info right on Wiki is the same as ANY resource: you MUST check the sources. Done right, Wikipedia's "errors" are not a problem.

    We can't know what happened "before" the big bang or what happens "outside" the universe because the only things we can access are events inside the universe, after the big bang. There might be "before" and "outside" but currently, we don't know anything that could tell us about that.

  • @Pulsar77
    @Pulsar77 13 лет назад

    Strange how that editor wanted to change the 'we' into 'I', because in scientific writing that is generally disapproved of. The 'we' in a scientific paper does not only refer to the author(s), but to both the authors and the reader: the author acts as a guide. So the phrase "we will prove" means "you (the reader) and I together will prove it, just follow my lead".

    Good question, I wondered that myself. And btw, humans are not exanding with the universe, the galaxies are simply moving apart. But time exanding with space might be a reason we can remember the past but not the future.

    1:09 if there are seven protons per neutron, the board is a slight bit off on the density. There are four neutrons, which should equate to 36 protons - of which the board has 26.

    • @leeterthanyou
      @leeterthanyou 2 года назад

      That is to say - it would not be inaccurate to suggest the board has on average 7 protons per neutron, as 6.5 is close enough to round up(TM).

    I go to a modest university and the thesis defence hearings I have witnessed had more like 5-6 professors. Not 2.
    So for example, considering a thesis on organic chemistry, there would be 5 chemists and 1 biochemist, and about half the professors would have to work at another university.

    There was a paper called "A New Data Encoding Scheme" by Andrew B. Cheese and Julian P. Onions (popularly known as 'Cheese and Onions') which was published by Nottingham's Computer Science department on 1st April 1988.
    It was published in the European Unix User Group Newsletter, and subsequently republished in the Australian Unix User Group Newsletter, who presumably failed to notice the joke. If you actually READ the paper, it's pretty obvious!

    Here's my question... if the universe is expanding, then we are expanding with it (as parts, ourselves, of the universe). Also expanding must be time, right? Is it possible to say that the arrow of time may well be related to the expansion of the universe? That is, we experience time as moving in one direction (to the future) because the universe (and time with it) are moving in one direction (toward bigger)? One wonders if time accelerates as the universe accelerates.

  • @DigitizedSelf
    @DigitizedSelf 12 лет назад

    @Mallaclllypse Well, yeah, figured as much - the question was more if we, from the contents of the video, should have been able to predict that it was 1/4 and 3/4 (if he hadn't mentioned it)

  • @stardude692001
    @stardude692001 12 лет назад

    @PedroBremberger
    my guess it has to do with the ratio of, the probability an electron and a proton collide and form a neutron, to the half-life of the neutron. or more accurately how many collisions could have happened in the 2 minutes and some seconds since these particles formed.

      @robinswamidasan 5 лет назад

      @ 1:03 "... 7 protons to each neutron ...". Taking the lowest numbers required for a whole number of atoms: 14 protons, 2 neutrons --> 1 He atom ( 2p + 2n ~= 4p by weight) + 12 H atoms (1p each). Hence, by weight, Total = 16p, H = 12p, He = 4p ==> 75% H and 25% He.

    time was no there already when the big bang happened. time was in fact created at the moment of the big bang. think about this: all the matter in the universe was condensed into an infinitely small and dense point. so much mass in such a small space would have the characteristics of a black hole. time does not exist inside a black hole, so time was non existant before the big bang happened.

      12388696 - I don’t think so. If Alpher was hurt, it was because his ideas about early cosmology were largely ignored until Penzias and Wilson stumbled onto the cosmic background radiation withoutknowing what they had. P&W were given a Nobel prize for this, which with more justification could have been given to Alpher and Herman, and, possibly, Gamow.
