    • How Large is the Unive...
    The universe has long captivated us with its immense scales of distance and time.
    How far does it stretch? Where does it end... and what lies beyond its star fields... and streams of galaxies extending as far as telescopes can see?
    These questions are beginning to yield to a series of extraordinary new lines of investigation... and technologies that are letting us to peer into the most distant realms of the cosmos...
    But also at the behavior of matter and energy on the smallest of scales.
    Remarkably, our growing understanding of this kingdom of the ultra-tiny, inside the nuclei of atoms, permits us to glimpse the largest vistas of space and time.
    In ancient times, most observers saw the stars as a sphere surrounding the earth, often the home of deities.
    The Greeks were the first to see celestial events as phenomena, subject to human investigation... rather than the fickle whims of the Gods.
    One sky-watcher, for example, suggested that meteors are made of materials found on Earth... and might have even come from the Earth.
    Those early astronomers built the foundations of modern science. But they would be shocked to see the discoveries made by their counterparts today.
    The stars and planets that once harbored the gods are now seen as infinitesimal parts of a vast scaffolding of matter and energy extending far out into space.
    Just how far... began to emerge in the 1920s.
    Working at the huge new 100-inch Hooker Telescope on California's Mt. Wilson,
    astronomer Edwin Hubble, along with his assistant named Milt Humason, analyzed the light of fuzzy patches of sky... known then as nebulae.
    They showed that these were actually distant galaxies far beyond our own.
    Hubble and Humason discovered that most of them are moving away from us. The farther out they looked, the faster they were receding.
    This fact, now known as Hubble's law, suggests that there must have been a time when the matter in all these galaxies was together in one place.
    That time... when our universe sprung forth... has come to be called the Big Bang.
    How large the cosmos has gotten since then depends on how long its been growing... and its expansion rate.
    Recent precision measurements gathered by the Hubble space telescope and other instruments have brought a consensus...
    That the universe dates back 13.7 billion years.
    Its radius, then, is the distance a beam of light would have traveled in that time ... 13.7 billion light years.
    That works out to about 1.3 quadrillion kilometers.
    In fact, it's even bigger.... Much bigger. How it got so large, so fast, was until recently a deep mystery.
    That the universe could expand had been predicted back in 1917 by Albert Einstein, except that Einstein himself didn't believe it...
    until he saw Hubble and Humason's evidence.
    Einstein's general theory of relativity suggested that galaxies could be moving apart because space itself is expanding.
    So when a photon gets blasted out from a distant star, it moves through a cosmic landscape that is getting larger and larger, increasing the distance it must travel to reach us.
    In 1995, the orbiting telescope named for Edwin Hubble began to take the measure of the universe... by looking for the most distant galaxies it could see.
    Taking the expansion of the universe into account, the space telescope found galaxies that are now almost 46 billion light years away from us in each direction... and almost 92 billion light years from each other.
    And that would be the whole universe... according to a straightforward model of the big bang.
    But remarkably, that might be a mere speck within the universe as a whole, according to a dramatic new theory that describes the origins of the cosmos.
    It's based on the discovery that energy is constantly welling up from the vacuum of space in the form of particles of opposite charge... matter and anti-matter.

    In terms of size we're probably to small to give out any signals in the universe,we can't hear bacteria communicating or better still can we hear cells communicate? How about the smallest ants,can we listen to them communicate.maybe out radio signals are not as strong as we think😬😬

    This is one of the better videos I've watched explaining the history of the development of the theory of inflation. Instead of glossing over important concepts, and leaving the viewer in a state of half-confusion, it actually explains a bit about where these ideas came from, and the concepts which underlie them. Thank you, SpaceRip.

    No, we're not the ones who just add in random terminology and words to try and make our arguments convincing. What we do is actually look at what is out there, find out what might explain it and then put together a coherent argument.
    Just because it isn't what you like or what you want to be true doesn't mean it isn't. You actually have to refute it rather than calling it "ridiculous" or "made up". That's how science works.

    The universe is expanding to everyone's perspective, not just us here on Earth. And wouldn't a singularity pull everything together? Meaning, we would see galaxies moving in a specific direction due to this singularity, not the way we actually see it where galaxies (mainly) drift away form us in every direction.

    if by measuring between the most distant galaxies returns that they are 92billion light years apart, doesnt that mean thats how far they have expanded since the beginning of the universe and in a sense could have travelled another 46billion light years either way, doesnt that mean that the universe or technically our perceptual dimensions are actually double that age?

    This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time!
    This theory is based on two postulates
    1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ represents the forward passage of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π itself
    2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w- function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

    "Waves from all fractal wave-centers of the Infinite Universe combine their intensities to form the wave-medium density (space) at each point of space. The total amplitude of inward spherical waves at every point always seeks a minimum, as trillions of inward spherical wave's cancel, the sum of opposite vectors is always zero, this is the reason for the symmetry or conservation laws of physics or why, at the speed of C, time and space are always zero due to length contraction and time dilation."

    As a naive person interested in the universe, how do we know that what is observed from within our galaxy is the same from being observed outside the galaxy. What if observing the universe from outside the milky way give an effect of looking through your door peephole in the opposite direction? If we have never been outside this realm, can you be certain that those same laws exist outside of the milky way?

      @TheFlyingBrain. 2 года назад

      😸 Really?? Wanting to understand the exact process by which inflation occurs is a laudable goal. But you're asking WHY it happens as opposed to not happening at all?! Have you figured it out yet?
      Nothing is BORING. The answer to the fundamental question "Why?" on the most basic of levels, such as the question as you've framed it here, is always going to be the simplest of answers, of which there can be one, or two versions only... no more! It's either "BECAUSE." Or "WHY NOT?"
      All the best to you, and I trust you got that inner tube properly inflated by now... 😉

  • @MrKornetify

    Iooks like you didnt watched the video properly...go to 4:55 ! but I allready found my answer;
    The speed of light is only a constraint for objects that exist within space-time, not for space-time itself. It looks like Space-time between objects-galaxies is rapidly expanding (dark matter) therefore galaxies can move apart relative to each other faster than the speed of light but they can not move faster than the speed of light in their own space time they are traveling through.

But I wish they paid some attention to details. 6.06: 10 bilion trilion times is 10 with 22 zeros, not 24.

    To elaborate further, if a room is not equally illuminated everywhere, could this be because certain surfaces are reflective, others are not, and additionally that where one wave interacts with another, either constructive or destructive interference occurs? The analogy is perfectly sound. So any patterns observed in trhe CMB could easily be hypothesized as relating to this well-known concept. Science involves not accepting the first theory you are told, simply because it is repeated ad nauseam.

    just asking here, though, i know it might seem stupid, but why not? it fits in a pattern.

    space is expanding. think of it as walking the wrong way up a escalator, even though your 1/2 way up it the distance behind you is far greater than ahead of you. meaning someone else would take a lot longer to get to where you are now. is a little more complicated than that as the more space there is the faster it expands (think of it as compound interest the more debt the faster it increases) until eventually not even light can reach us due to the rate of expansion

    I have a question: of all the angles and views from the Earth scientists have looked out and see the expansion of the universe, from these can they calculate where the big bang would have been? If everything is moving outwards, certainly they'd be able to look and see where they're all moving outwards from.

    • @austingee4509
      @austingee4509 2 года назад

      Great question. The answer is a little disappointing I'm afraid. The catch is that it will look like everything is expanding away from your NO MATTER where you are in the universe because, for the most part, everything is expanding away from everything else. So no, we cannot determine where the "center" of the universe is- because there is no center. The Big Bang occurred everywhere because everywhere was all together in one place (the singularity) in the beginning. Hope that helps!

    Space or space-time is not restricted to the expansion (or contraction) by the speed of light. Imagine a unit of space equal to one wavelength of light. If that wavelength is 400 nm (blue light) and space expands, then the light will expand with it. If space expands to 700 nm, then the color of the light in that space will be red. The light from the big band has always been with us. It's black body radiation, not light from some distant explosion. We were there. It has only become stretched out.

    What exactly is too big? Since, I grant that the collective information is beyond us at this time, however, the concepts as we understand them, don't seem to be.

    "The Hubble distance H is the maximum finite distance we are able to observe an infinite Universe.
    The Big bang never happened because instead red shift with distance is a consequence of the limited range of spherical in+/-out wave's within the infinite Universe. Less wave interaction, less energy exchange and Doppler causes a redshift.
    Thus, Einstein was correct the Universe is infinite in extent.
    Hiesenberg, Schrodinger, DeBroglie were correct all matter is wave structures of a space medium."

    Some respected cosmologists think there are an infinite number of infinitely big universes. The implication (taken seriously by some) is that there will be an infinite number of earths and an infinite number of copies of you. There would also be an infinite number of earths where you were never born and an infinite number where your life took a different course. There will also be an infinite number of planets with alien forms of life.

    Religion and Science are NOT at odds with one another- in fact, together each complements the other in explaining just who and what we are as well as how we got here. Grow up folks- its all good.

    Believe me i completely agree with u, but theres only one thing that makes me thing there are some sort of hell and heaven. Thats ghosts. Ive seen pics of ghosts in images in the backround, and in pics of people who actually invite the dead into their houses using those cards and boards. How do u explain that?

    It's because we're confined to our physical concept that everything has a cause. Humans believe this because we created the idea of time, purely due to the fact we needed to log a start a finish to events. Outside Earth, our time does not exist, therefore who's to say the Universe has ALWAYS been there? Why does it have to have a beginning?

    I agree with that logic, but I still think it's not wrong to spend the money we do on scientific research. We should maybe even spend more, but if we want to share our wealth with all of the world, then we must accept to change our values and reconsider our capitalistic systems etc... in society. One thing is though that slowly the rest of the world is rising in technological wealth we still abuse them, however our wealth is declining showing symptoms like the recent financial crisis.

    aha, so the object that we see it's light now from 13.7 billion years ago, is now ~46 billion light years away from us? that's one bad ass universe expansion rate :))

    With all of this energy all around us, you would think scientists would have figured out a way to harness some of it. The fact that physics has come so far yet humans still depend on fossil fuels for energy is kinda depressing......

    "why don't we act like animals?"
    We don't act "like" animals, we ARE animals. Other animals believe things are there when they're not. It has survival value... If an animal believes there's a predator in the distance but isn't sure then it's better to run away and hide from the truth of knowing because they would live another day and reproduce. That anxiety and paranoia lives into the future. If an animal was sceptic and wanted to find truth, they'd be eaten alive and not passed on their genes.

    Well, I don't see what is keeping it finite. By that logic, it has no end. Besides, if it is finite, and other universes are as well, then what separates them? An equation with only one Universe is far more simple than an equation with many.

    we are semi the universe in one sense universe means "all which is known" ,the universe is only finite when you assume it so or die but still those still existing and yet to exist will learn of new knowings and even learn of forgotten knowns because the reality is the universe is infinite and non-linear ,also it is known there are other unknowns with confused expressions on there faces wanting to know the unknowns of others knowns to expand there subjective universe right at this very moment

    That is not confirmed, space is curved due to gravity, but it might not be enough gravity to warp space around entirely, so it might be convex and the edges extend forever.

    Differences is is that I'm not defending the big bang, I am completely comfortable with not having the answer, in my ignorance I do not turn to some omnipotent deity, I acknowledge my limitations as a human and in doing so accept that I probably never will know the answer, but I do not cover that up with an easy fix all.

    expansion of space and velocity of a body in space...is there any difference??? i have watched a video here on you tube that says some galaxies are moving away from us with the velocity of 8 times faster than that of light' velocity..theory of relativity is based on space time and gravity...and nothing faster than light..but would you explain why those galaxies have faster velocities than light or the space is expanding..then what is the difference in velocity and expansion of space??
