    You are EXACTLY right there at the end where those that talk about science being wrong or saying that a "thing" contradicts science are nearly always those that never took any science class. For some reason the RUclips Science is irresistible and one RUclips video is enough to make any idiot an expert.

      If you don't even know what a theory is then you have about as much authority on science as someone who doesn't speak German has on the grammar of a native speaker. If you don't even understand the language then you can't even claim any credibility.

      "Big Bang" is just a catch phrase, which has been used for the general public because it sounds neat and they can grasp the general idea. It should not be taken as a detailed description. Like the term "Black Hole", which is used in a similar casual fashion; I've heard that a different term was used in Russian language discussions due to it having an unfortunate slang meaning. 😯

    7:20 Conspiracy theorists, woo peddlers, and other anti-science nutters, all have a completely different definition of what the word, "Assumption", means in science and math. They always re-define it as, "The conclusion that I want to force into being, and discarding anything else that doesn't". In math and science, "Assumption" is used for simplification and clarification purposes. They want "Assume" to mean, "This is the conclusion no matter what.". It clearly shows 1. Complete lack of education, 2. Probably complete dishonesty, 3 Most likely 1 and 2 at the same time.

    Looks a lot like that Time Cube website, too. Which I don't remember if it's the same ultra-religious guy who was _so deeply and completely far gone from sane_ that he single-handedly programmed his own operating system from scratch on instructions from his imaginary friend. Which also looked like that website.
    "Crazy person's website" has a _look,_ is all I'm saying. And no, mine didn't look anything like it. Shame, really. I made a nice, easy to look at background and I had a whole list of webcomics I forgot about since, but none of it was kept.

    10:30 : This guy also gets "black dwarf stars" wrong. A starlike object that's not quite massive enough to be a star is called a BROWN dwarf. A BLACK dwarf is a hypothetical object formed when a WHITE dwarf star cools off to the point where it's no longer emitting visible light. I say hypothetical, because not only have none been observed (not even with radio telescopes), they SHOULD NOT EXIST because it takes trillions (not billions) of years for a black dwarf to cool off that much.

    It is actually quite simple why this guy is wrong. Without the radiation background created in the early Universe, there is no reason why cosmic dust or any comets and asteroids far from the stars should have the temperature of exactly 2.7 K. Their temperature would vary with the distance from the sun being close to 0 K for very far one, and even more than 2.7 K for closer ones (like the Kuiper belt objects). There is no reason they all would be at 2.7 K.

    5. This does in no way explain specific features of the CMBR like the acoustic peaks.

    What is truly annoying is that intelligence isn't even a real protection from this. I have a lot of friends that are quite intelligent. Some have masters degrees. And yet, when Covid happened, a good portion of them ignored experts, pretended the whole thing was just a flu, refused to get vaxed or wear masks, and listened to podcasters over scientists. It was so enraging and frustrating at the time. What I realized, though, is that intelligence is a tool, and a lot of us believe things not truly out of rationality but rather based on our feelings, and then our brains will construct reasons for those beliefs and be convinced that our feelings are right, ignoring or reinterpreting all evidence to the contrary.
    And I'm not saying that from some ivory tower, as though I am better than these folks. The truth is that there are probably some things in my life that I believe that are BS, but I rationalize them. You probably do too. But what those things are differs based on personality. My guess is that people who believe these out there physics theories that aren't backed up by science want them to be true not because they actually think there is hard proof, but rather because it makes them feel like they are smart and have a more accurate understanding of the world. It gives them a sense of validation to be "ahead of the curve" of those scientists and their fancy degrees.
    It might also be that the standard big bang theory leaves them feeling uncertain. If the universe is infinitely old and eternal, well, then that means it will go on forever, probably. If it's always existed, then why would it not continue on ad infinitum? But if the big bang is true, then that implies there was a beginning, and if there was a beginning, there is probably going to be an end of some sort. And that reality can make everything we do here, all of our lives, feel meaningless, and really puts into perspective that we ourselves are finite and will die, as, some day, will the universe. Some day, there will be no remnant of humanity, the stars, or anything. That can be a scary thing to accept, soul crushing even. So, they need it to not be true, and in order for that to be the case, they need to attack anything that supports it. The CMB is a pretty big support beam for the theory, so if they could knock that out, they might be able to rationalize away the scary, entropic, dying universe that we live in.
    Of course, an infinitely old universe has all those same nihilistic implications on a psychological level. It would imply, for example, that there was a past earth somewhere in that infinite past that had a civilization like ours which has since been forgotten, and in fact there likely have been an infinite number, which means the only unique thing about this one is that we are experiencing it. Even creationists will run into this problem, albeit in a different form: If God snapped this universe into being for his own purposes, how do you know he hasn't done so an infinite number of times before or since? Why assume we're his favorite plaything? Perhaps God created this universe and, like a dad who went to the store for cigarettes twenty years ago, he never came back. Perhaps that's why the world kinda sucks sometimes. But no one, aside from me, is going to consider that, because if you've denied physics to escape from the scary entropic universe, you're probably not going to consider the full implications of infinity because those are as scary, if not scarier.
    I think all those covid deniers just really found the restrictions cumbersome and so decided that it can't be true because it was inconvenient. Or maybe it also scared them, reminding them that all it takes is some little microscopic bag of filth or barely alive string of proteins mutating in just the right way to kill loads of people, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent it. All you can do is try to slow its spread and work tirelessly to get a vaccine or treatment that actually stands a chance of saving lives. And no matter how healthy you are, all it takes is the right germ getting in you to undo you from the inside, so you never know when the Grim Reaper is going to show up and say time's up. And that's scary for a lot of people. So it's just a lot easier, psychologically, to believe that all the scientists are lying, and to live accordingly. For many that was a fatal mistake. Luckily it probably isn't with astrophysics. In that case it's just annoying.
    But that's all just a . . . . Theory. 😈

    space did expand, but the "explosion" part of the big bang is actually *inflation* not *expansion*
    Explosion is still TOTALLY wrong
    we don't have a very solid model for inflation, or rather, we can't see beyond the CMBR and inflation happened before the CMBR so its hard to tell exactly what happened or even propose experiments that can help elucidate it. That isn't to say that it's impossible though and I'm not a physicist, let alone a professional big bang cosmologist, so there's not a lot I can actually say for certain.
    But one thing I can say for certain.
    Inflation is Not an Explosion, except in a loose metaphorical sense that a population boom is called an explosion.

    • @PlatinumAltaria
      @PlatinumAltaria Год назад +1

      The word "explosion" means a rapid expansion. It doesn't always mean a rapid chemical reaction.
      We can't see, but we can see the effects. Just like an expert in explosives can tell what a bomb was made of by what remains, we can try and work out what the early universe was like by studying what it produced.

      The first thing I thought to myself was "For example: population explosions." Then it occurred to me that those are also caused by chemical reactions. :)

      @@AlbertaGeek yeah. Hence the last sentence I wrote. I'm allowing for the word to have other meanings. But the meaning in physics typically refers to a chemical explosion and to refer to inflation or expansion in the big bang as an "explosion" is only a tool to cause people to misunderstand it. It's equivocation.
      People in the modern age can intuitively understand explosions.
      They cannot intuitively understand cosmic inflation.

    Well he was probably closer then most non scientists. The problem is that he tries to teach with a flawed understanding. If I get it wrong, no harm done but if I sread my misconceptions then I do harm. It is like trying to teach math above the level you mastered yourself. It isn't going to work out well.

    My cousin (who's an actual physicist) is working on a theory of a cyclical universe, in which each big bang simply expands into the previous universe. It involves all or most matter congealing while the universe itself continues to expand. Basically that dark matter, electromagnetism, quantum theory and gravity are strong enough to negate the dark energy expansion. I'm no physicist, just a sci fi writer, so I think I get the jist of it but there's a reason I write and don't do math...
