How cool is it that today, I can turn on my computer, go to RUclips and watch Alan Guth speak on cosmology? Like, MIT OCW is cool enough, but that is *Alan Guth* himself talking about *his* theory. What a time to be alive.
This is ridiculous fantasy just like the fake theory that we came from apes. How can people believe this crap? We where made by a big man in the sky in 6 days. We even see his son every now and then. When we die, if we're good, we go to a big amusement park in the sky. God!.....oops.
@@nonokayakjack because men did not come from apes, humans and ape shares the same ancestors, that is if you trace back the ancestors of us and the apes, you will eventually find a common ancestor. Evolution is like a branch and not a ladder and all the life system that has existed on the Earth can be imagined as a giant tree with a great diversity of different life forms all ultimately having the same origin(the root of the tree). Evolution is a fact and it's evidences are everywhere around us. Sorry to break it to you but if you can not understand it then it means that you simply do not have the intelligence to do that.
I actually get to learn from Alan Guth as opposed to just watching him in snippets in documentaries... Whhaaaaaaaattt!?!? This is AMAZING! One of the many reasons why MIT OCW is one of the best things the Internet has to offer.
Well, it took me a few weeks to get through these (the math is not trivial, but doable if you have some familiarity with calculus and differential equations). I must give a big thanks to MIT for providing this series. Professor Guth is passionate about the subject, obviously knows the material better than most, and is a great lecturer. I was a bit sad when the series came to an end.

There you have experience, so your chance of getting in is higher plus they most likely would pay you stipends as you do research(and/or get an internship, which often pays well) where the essence of mit comes alive. Or you can, after bachelors do your masters in a non ivy league university, say for instance, texas a&m and then apply for phd in mit. Then your chance of acceptance goes even higher, you will be paid(cause you're doing research now, bringing new knowledge into the world and your hard work is compensated by the remuneration) and you actually get to experience the world class research experience, professors labs latest techniques that mit is famous for, up close. So remember its not a one shot chance, new opportunities actually come up as you climb up the ladder. Best of luck. You can do it :)

Many moons ago - 1981 perhaps? - Shortly after Prof. Guth proposed his Inflationary hypothesis, Prof. Guth passed through my hometown and gave a lecture on Inflation at our local Planetarium. The room at the Planetarium is big enough to hold approx. 200 people. If my memory is correct - and I have no reason to doubt it - there were maybe 25 people in the audience listening to Prof. Guth. Go figure!! That's the bad news. The good news is my small library of books has a copy of Prof. Guth's book "The Inflationary Universe", personally signed by him, purchased at that lecture. Was his presence in my hometown a quantum fluctuation? Regardless of the Uncertainty Principle, I knew there was certainty in my need to have attended that lecture!
TOM NEEDHAM ........would you be surprised to hear that I recently had to explain to a local woman the difference between our solar system and the Milky Way? This woman had a career and college undergrad degree.

The "Dark Energy" large values for short wavelengths is exactly analog to the "Ultraviolet Catastrophe" that occurred with light physics in the late 1800s and was solved by Planck by creating the original equations for Quantum Mechanics to create the "Black-Body Curve" formula for light relative to temperature. It seems that we need a Quantum Mechanics equivalent to solve Dark Energy. "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
We know that in many years black holes will evaporate and leave only empty space but can space itself deteriorate? And in an unbelievable long time all that will be left is time itself and then It creates space. Which then inflates and so on. Or is space here now and it's here for good.
If you can accept a 1 dimensional ribbon becomes multidimensional object, you can then theorize that its a natural shape or structure that repeats by going through all of the diminsional shapes and then degrading. To measure this you would need to rationalize that a laser can become a 2d wave and through mirrors you can craft 3d then 4d then 5d etc... after it hits it's highest dimension it unravels the steps in order of creation then repeats.

So, can we just assume by the fact that the inflation "material" was flat as per Euclidean geometry, the idea of the multiverse suggests that there might be other universes thriving in those flats and one goes to the next dimension they might see those Euclidean flats of universes??

I can't wrap my head around what he says at 5:00 . If there was nothing before the big bang and there was no single point for it (The egg) then how does it happen everywhere, uniformly when that everywhere didn't exist? Seems like the old 'chicken and the egg' conundrum.
Univers began 13,82 billion years ago. I can't understand for what "clock" is that time? Let's imagine that two "clocks" was burn exact at that time us the univers and now one of that "clock" appears to be at my hand and another somewhere in the field with huge gravity. That to clocks will show absolutely different time and both are right.
Directly on topic, "of course" the Inflationary aspect is a Reciproction-recirculation Quantum Tunnelling inclusion-exclusion timing-phase positioning Multiverse, because temporal wave-packaging is perfectly interpenetrating In-form-ation, for inside-outside holographic time-timing sync-duration, loop quantization presence.., ie superposition in Superspin here-now-forever holography. There is no new news only new angles, the inherent word meaning of "Universe" is the self-defining Reciproction-recirculation fact of Eternity-now Interval Conception. "Precision is not Accuracy", so no matter how exactly the duration of the local Era is measured, the Accurate interpretation of e-Pi-i sync-duration continuity connectivity in the Eternity-now Black-body Interval is an absolute Zero Kelvin difference of No-thing Singularity positioning eternally, that is the absolutely Logical Statement of Mathematical Modulation Mechanism Singularity inside-outside holographic presence, or Quantum Tunnelling bubble-mode of the Universe. The basic concept of "Classical Big Bang Cosmology" is an impossibility, and only an impractical "Player" could believe it by looking without seeing real-time probabilistic Actuality. Dr Eric Learner's book The Big Bang Never Happened. BBT is a kind of insult to Experimentalist's Practical-Actual Intelligence. Even Wheeler's One Electron Theory is basically the recognition of Quantum Tunnelling inclusion-exclusion timing-phase positioning Chemistry.

The object of interpretation is that we correlate as accurately as we can with the nature of reality. That is the motivation behind genuine 'science', and being told how to do these things has no bearing on the actual nature of that which exists. Currently, genuine 'scientific method' is being largely ignored for political and financial purposes, and liberally showered upon the masses of 'believers' and 'followers' that frequent social media platforms such as this one.

To answer in a conceptual way. Imagine a laser, that was projected to a point into 1 dimension, it filed the space then constorted into 2 dimensions. The process repeats to create other dimensions. But like a ball of yarn it always has an end, that then projects itself into another 1 dimensions plane and repeats. In my theory, there must be 2 (two) 1 dimensional planes for all dimensions to exist.
Please bring back Walter Lewin's videos. Those lectures were a big reason I grew a love for physics. Punish Walter Lewin. Don't punish all the people across the world who want to learn.
Yes, his lectures were great and it is a pity not to find them anymore (on youtube at least). On the other hand: what would a victim of his acts feel if the guy, who forced her to humilitate herself, stay here on youtube, beeing a celebrated lecturer..? I really do understand both sites here, personally would still like to be able to watch his lectures. But I can understand that this just wouldn´t be approbriate - and would be seen as such... I guess, it was a difficult decision - and I think there would be more people protesting him staying on yt on that MIT brand than missing his lectures...
You are right. I understand I am extremely biased because of how I feel about those lectures. Hopefully someday we get video of equal or even better lectures than Walter Lewin's about the subject.
Reichhard Buerger I just read the story when the lead accuser came out publicly. It sounds like she got upset when she found out he was flirting about with other girls. I don't understand how when only an online interaction you can be intimidated into discussing sexual fantasies and then sending naked pictures of yourself to the man. She said she started "cutting herself again" after 7 months of this activity. Dealing with mentally ill people, like the initial victim, I could see them pulling the video so they don't get sued. It just sounds fishy but I understand the universities stance. From her description it sounds as I said above though, regardless it's inappropriate activity for an instructor. Even though she was just taking non-credit online courses at her leisure it was through the university making it not a personal matter. I don't blame victims but I'm not seeing how she or any woman was victimized unless they each felt they were special because of the attention he gave online? Oh well, regardless not a good idea for a professor to do.
His lectures were just classical mechanics though. It's not like they removed an extremely important resource such as this one. They removed lectures about the most basic and accessible physics for which there are many more (better) lectures, it's not really a significant loss
Dark energy is what is causing the expansion to speed up. Some theories suggest that that was the same energy drove the inflation, but in general I don't think most cosmologists believe that inflation was caused by dark energy.
The inflation field was a large gas of helium and hydrogen and there was no prior prior bang. There was a big cooking. With high energy beams from Quasars, probably.
Any one give the answer ... -> If dark energy is the vacuum energy or energy of nothingness then what about the DARK METTER is dark matter really exist or it is also the matter of nothing or vacuum dark matter..
Does space expanding mean that every point in space is generating space exponentially?Is metric expansion of space the creation/generation of space at every point thereafter too?Is the expansion of the Universe really the metric expansion of space?Is there a force associated with the expansion[/generation?] of space that propels galaxies?
Space is not expanding.. Mathematics does not ‘prove’ anything. It is only a human-invented method of measurement. As such, it can only comply with whatever we pretend to ourselves is worthy of measuring..
Can someone help me square the notion that the big bang happened everywhere at the same time with the idea that inflation was possibly started by an infinitesimally small 'patch' of space with the requisite negative pressure/energy density?
The idea of a multiverse comes from the notion that there are regions that went through an inflationary phase (these are primordial states of matter where gravity was repulsive). In one extrapolation of inflationary cosmology, there are multiple regions, some of which went through an inflationary phase, forming universes such as ours.

Our Space Universe was tunneled from the Inertial Plane/Counterspace. Time began when the Dielectric energy decayed/tunneled from the Inertial Plane, 1D. Tunneling, when there are no transverse waves, EM waves. Just, 1D longitudinal energy, that is created from the Inertial Plane = (Inflation). Then, Dielectric Voidance Field/Magnetism, when this Magnetic field occurs = (the Grand Expand). Magnetism gives Magnitude to the Space Universe. Space was created for Aether to exist in. Aether was created for Space to exist in. Empty Space does Not exist. It's a Scalable Aether, Casimir Effect Universe! Space and Counterspace are the plates. The Inertial Plane attracts and repels the Plates.
“The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing-zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere. How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth. His theory of inflation helps explain everything.” So proclaimed the front cover of Discover magazine, April 2002. creation.com/five-atheist-miracles
@@vizman8585 You just proved what evolutionary biology Professor Richard Lewontin said, "...‘Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door...'
Multiverse and string theory. I guess I just have a block on theories (are they really theories since they are not falsifiable?) that explain the fine tuning parameters by suggesting that there are an infinite number of places, each with its own constants, and we just happen to be in one of the infinite number of places that are perfect for us to exist. Or, even more mind boggling, that there are an infinite number of perfect places and an infinite number of places nearly identical.
If you shorten a wavelength by 50% then again 50% you can do this forever: the wavelength will always get 50% shorter while there is always 50% remaining= no shortest wavelength.
Mathematical that is correct but in physics not . You could make the same argument about energy quanta or charges. But there is a lower limit to energy quanta - H bar and to charges.

I can't wrap my head around what he says at 5:00 . If there was nothing before the big bang and there was no single point for it (The egg) then how does it happen everywhere, uniformly when that everywhere didn't exist? Seems like the old 'chicken and the egg' conundrum.
When did anybody say that there was nothing before the big bang? :-)
freekin' awesome teacher too.
Univers began 13,82 billion years ago. I can't understand for what "clock" is that time? Let's imagine that two "clocks" was burn exact at that time us the univers and now one of that "clock" appears to be at my hand and another somewhere in the field with huge gravity. That to clocks will show absolutely different time and both are right.
Directly on topic, "of course" the Inflationary aspect is a Reciproction-recirculation Quantum Tunnelling inclusion-exclusion timing-phase positioning Multiverse, because temporal wave-packaging is perfectly interpenetrating In-form-ation, for inside-outside holographic time-timing sync-duration, loop quantization presence.., ie superposition in Superspin here-now-forever holography.
There is no new news only new angles, the inherent word meaning of "Universe" is the self-defining Reciproction-recirculation fact of Eternity-now Interval Conception.
"Precision is not Accuracy", so no matter how exactly the duration of the local Era is measured, the Accurate interpretation of e-Pi-i sync-duration continuity connectivity in the Eternity-now Black-body Interval is an absolute Zero Kelvin difference of No-thing Singularity positioning eternally, that is the absolutely Logical Statement of Mathematical Modulation Mechanism Singularity inside-outside holographic presence, or Quantum Tunnelling bubble-mode of the Universe.
The basic concept of "Classical Big Bang Cosmology" is an impossibility, and only an impractical "Player" could believe it by looking without seeing real-time probabilistic Actuality.
Dr Eric Learner's book The Big Bang Never Happened. BBT is a kind of insult to Experimentalist's Practical-Actual Intelligence.
Even Wheeler's One Electron Theory is basically the recognition of Quantum Tunnelling inclusion-exclusion timing-phase positioning Chemistry.
Alan Guth: just another human being having solved the problems of other human beings who have not the faintest idea either. But it pays.
Mathematics does not ‘prove’ anything. It is only a human-invented method of measurement. As such, it can only comply with whatever we pretend to ourselves is worthy of measuring..

@@fluentpiffle Observations (so far) show there is only one universe. String Theory (I call it String Speculation because nothing of the theory can be proven) is only an intellectual fantasy based on math. But math isn't reality ;-)

- You understand that 'observation' has many flaws to it, and even after 'observation' there comes the next phase, that of interpretation? The object of interpretation is that we correlate as accurately as we can with the nature of reality. That is the motivation behind genuine 'science', and being told how to do these things has no bearing on the actual nature of that which exists. Currently, genuine 'scientific method' is being largely ignored for political and financial purposes, and liberally showered upon the masses of 'believers' and 'followers' that frequent social media platforms such as this one.
Ok, cool.
Now it finally makes sense to me why anyone would think there was a big bang. They Don't. Its a misnomer.
Awesome Lecture.
God created "The Big Bang"
una pena que no este traducido al español................saludos al Sr Guth
The legend himself!
Yes, the multiverse is a legend. :-)
Thank you for lecturing us to be normal at all
Science at it's best. :3 I love Science. That's why I'm a double major computer science and electrical engineering. For Science!!
I think we need an instrument(International Organization) to control global climate in the perspect of Orbital Mechanics. (including small debris and lanched projectile). I think that there are many forest fires than before
Can someone tell me if universe is expanding then actual density of universe must be decreasing... Means value of omega is decreasing isn't it
To answer in a conceptual way. Imagine a laser, that was projected to a point into 1 dimension, it filed the space then constorted into 2 dimensions.
The process repeats to create other dimensions. But like a ball of yarn it always has an end, that then projects itself into another 1 dimensions plane and repeats.
In my theory, there must be 2 (two) 1 dimensional planes for all dimensions to exist.
Matthew Egan What's constorted? Contorted means twist out of shape.
Please bring back Walter Lewin's videos. Those lectures were a big reason I grew a love for physics. Punish Walter Lewin. Don't punish all the people across the world who want to learn.
Yes, his lectures were great and it is a pity not to find them anymore (on youtube at least). On the other hand: what would a victim of his acts feel if the guy, who forced her to humilitate herself, stay here on youtube, beeing a celebrated lecturer..? I really do understand both sites here, personally would still like to be able to watch his lectures. But I can understand that this just wouldn´t be approbriate - and would be seen as such... I guess, it was a difficult decision - and I think there would be more people protesting him staying on yt on that MIT brand than missing his lectures...
You are right. I understand I am extremely biased because of how I feel about those lectures. Hopefully someday we get video of equal or even better lectures than Walter Lewin's about the subject.
Reichhard Buerger I just read the story when the lead accuser came out publicly. It sounds like she got upset when she found out he was flirting about with other girls. I don't understand how when only an online interaction you can be intimidated into discussing sexual fantasies and then sending naked pictures of yourself to the man. She said she started "cutting herself again" after 7 months of this activity. Dealing with mentally ill people, like the initial victim, I could see them pulling the video so they don't get sued.
It just sounds fishy but I understand the universities stance. From her description it sounds as I said above though, regardless it's inappropriate activity for an instructor. Even though she was just taking non-credit online courses at her leisure it was through the university making it not a personal matter.
I don't blame victims but I'm not seeing how she or any woman was victimized unless they each felt they were special because of the attention he gave online? Oh well, regardless not a good idea for a professor to do.
His lectures were just classical mechanics though. It's not like they removed an extremely important resource such as this one. They removed lectures about the most basic and accessible physics for which there are many more (better) lectures, it's not really a significant loss
yes and he talked not saying “ahhh” every 10 seconds …. sorry Alan
Is there a possibility that Dark matter and Dark energy be the gravity with negative pressure?
Dark energy is what is causing the expansion to speed up. Some theories suggest that that was the same energy drove the inflation, but in general I don't think most cosmologists believe that inflation was caused by dark energy.
@@mightymartianca Why dont the cosmologist think so?
The inflation field was a large gas of helium and hydrogen and there was no prior prior bang. There was a big cooking. With high energy beams from Quasars, probably.
Yeah, a tiny bit of lithium, true.
Have they ever tried super heating a combination of those elements, in the most likely analogous percentages/ proportions.?
Really great scientist and cosmologist.
Any one give the answer ... -> If dark energy is the vacuum energy or energy of nothingness
then what about the DARK METTER is dark matter really exist or it is also the matter of nothing or vacuum dark matter..
The Big Bangless Theory, I like it!
Does space expanding mean that every point in space is generating space exponentially?Is metric expansion of space the creation/generation of space at every point thereafter too?Is the expansion of the Universe really the metric expansion of space?Is there a force associated with the expansion[/generation?] of space that propels galaxies?
Space is not expanding..

Very seldom do I see a lecture that walks through exactly how the data developed the theories we’ve applied.
This is quite possibly the weirdest rabbit hole I’ve gone down today
Great lecture. His intonation reminds me of Katharine Hepburn.
I suppose that if this universe suddenly appeared from nothing, then a multitude could have emerged or will emerge. So what?
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
What's negative pressure?
Can someone help me square the notion that the big bang happened everywhere at the same time with the idea that inflation was possibly started by an infinitesimally small 'patch' of space with the requisite negative pressure/energy density?
its all wrong universe was in balans and then got out of balans thats all that happend nothing was concentreted in a small patch or whatever
The idea of a multiverse comes from the notion that there are regions that went through an inflationary phase (these are primordial states of matter where gravity was repulsive). In one extrapolation of inflationary cosmology, there are multiple regions, some of which went through an inflationary phase, forming universes such as ours.
THANK YOU MIT!!!
Is this for undergraduate physics and astronomy majors? Material seems very simplified.

how half part or hotter can be calculated ??? we only see one side of the sphere !
I think that he knows his stuff.
25:00 does this means that as the universe ages it gets heavier because of more negative gravitational energy because of gravitational repulsion.
Are you going to post the 8.962 General Relativity lectures?
Our Space Universe was tunneled from the Inertial Plane/Counterspace. Time began when the Dielectric energy decayed/tunneled from the Inertial Plane, 1D. Tunneling, when there are no transverse waves, EM waves. Just, 1D longitudinal energy, that is created from the Inertial Plane = (Inflation).
Then, Dielectric Voidance Field/Magnetism, when this Magnetic field occurs = (the Grand Expand).
Magnetism gives Magnitude to the Space Universe.
Space was created for Aether to exist in.
Aether was created for Space to exist in.
Empty Space does Not exist.
It's a Scalable Aether, Casimir Effect Universe!
Space and Counterspace are the plates. The Inertial Plane attracts and repels the Plates.
Awesome explation. Tqvm, sir.
“The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing-zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere. How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth. His theory of inflation helps explain everything.”
So proclaimed the front cover of Discover magazine, April 2002.

TBH, even that wrong summary of inflation theory is still better than "the universe was birthed by a spirit dude who has no birth".
@@vizman8585 You just proved what evolutionary biology Professor Richard Lewontin said,
"...‘Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door...'

Multiverse and string theory. I guess I just have a block on theories (are they really theories since they are not falsifiable?) that explain the fine tuning parameters by suggesting that there are an infinite number of places, each with its own constants, and we just happen to be in one of the infinite number of places that are perfect for us to exist. Or, even more mind boggling, that there are an infinite number of perfect places and an infinite number of places nearly identical.
1:04:14 "There is no shortest wave lenght" .... Would not the Planck Length define a shortest possible wave lenght?
Dammed i typed the question to fast ....
If you shorten a wavelength by 50% then again 50% you can do this forever: the wavelength will always get 50% shorter while there is always 50% remaining= no shortest wavelength.
Mathematical that is correct but in physics not . You could make the same argument about energy quanta or charges. But there is a lower limit to energy quanta - H bar and to charges.
