    Guys, this episode went beyond all my expectations. Neil did such an excellent job describing things, and Paul - I can't fault him for not joking more, this episode was probably as interesting for him as it was for us.

    Great stuff. What I really like about this specific episode is the fact that Neil went there to elaborate how these theories and other ideas are digested by the scientific community. I'm gonna go out on a limb and comment on how some people like to remark or form a universal opinion about how Neil is just another pretentious, all knowing scientist. Neil Degrasse Tyson is an extremely educated individual who has always been motivated by the truth. Absolute truth. Not personal truth or anecdotal evidence. Even if someone experiences a certain situation or observation, that doesn't mean that every other scientist will agree with you. This is why there are "beliefs" and "truths" or laws and theories. Bottom line....personal truth does not dictate fact or reality to the rest of humanity. Even if it's true or an individual actually experienced random probability events, that doesn't discredit the individual. This is where things get messy. Personally I like to hear eye witness accounts of situations and personally I tend to give the individual the benefit of the doubt when people make claims that are hard for others to accept or agree with. We need outliers. We need the constant support and inquiries of non believers. That being said, if you are one of these outliers and have experienced a genuinely unexplainable situation, then rest assured that the experience and exposure will eventually lead to understanding. Isn't that the ultimate objective? Several times Neil has specifically stated on multiple issues that he is not "convinced" and would like more data. That's all. Neil hasn't personally attacked others or "put people in their place" unless they are extremely lacking in education or try to promote "universal" truths that the rest of us should also promote. Thank you Neil for all of the educational videos and thank you for learning how to address a community that is so quick to disregard scientific data. When Neil disagrees or wants more data it's not personal. Scientists devour each other on the regular. Lol. "I didn't eat you because I don't like you." "I ate you because you are delicious."

    • @MrT------5743
      @MrT------5743 3 года назад +1

      What is with the whole eating things at the end...That's a little creepy. I like Neil and he does come off sometimes as being pretentious. Saying things everyone knows like it is the first time it was ever said type stuff, but for the most part he is great.
      As for the eye witness testimony he wants more proof. Depending on the question, an interviewer can lead the witness into making claims they will actually later believe. I have seen TV shows where they setup a scenario like a bank robber or a car crash etc and make many people totally believe something that did not happen. Then later they show them what did happen and some still think their memory is true and video evidence was somehow faked. Eye witness testimony is inherently bad when there is no physical evidence to support claims.

    9:45 The real mindbender here is that, from Neil's perspective, the Earth is moving past him at close to the speed of light, *our* clocks will appear to tick slower, the Earth appears squished, and our mass appears to increase. That's why it's called special relativity - it's relative to the "special" reference frame of the observer. It assumes that the observer's particular reference frame is privileged over another.
    By the way, the speed of light is the speed limit for causality. If space between two particles is expanding faster than light, there can be no causal connection or information transfer between them.

      It's more that space is expanding a tiny amount everywhere and over a great enough distance between you and another object this expansion can add upt to any value not restricted by the speed of light. If you were at that distant object, it would not seem to be moving.

    @Fister_of_Muppets 3 года назад

    So, I knew most of the things talked about here, but I'm glad some of these explanations were talked about. One of the questions that I have is this (that no one ever explains):
    The speed of light in a perfect vacuum is defined as a constant, give or take, 299,792,458 m/s. But, if the Universe is only 13.8 billion years old, but is 93 billion light years in diameter, and light is a fixed number that can't reach us if the universe is expanding faster than light, then how can we definitively say that the CMB that we see dictates the age of the Universe when the edge is almost 3 times farther away than that light could travel from the edge? And what is keeping light from going faster than 299,792,458 m/s if the universe has expanded 3 times farther than light?

    • @MrT------5743
      @MrT------5743 3 года назад

      I don't know all the answers, but I do know the universe itself can expand faster than the speed of light. Only things inside the universe can only go upto the speed of light.
      You can also think about this...Lets say there is a star moving away at 99% of the speed of light in one direction, and another going the opposite way at 99% the speed of light. Now suppose someone else was on a planet orbiting that one star and looked at the other star, it would look like it was going nearly double the speed of light away. Even though neither is going faster than the speed of light.

    There is one thing i can't wrap my head around when it comes to the speed of light.
    if your "time" is slower and the measuring stick becomes shorter
    doesn't both of those things make it so that the light seems to go faster?
    so lets say if your "time" is at 50% and the measuring stick has shortened to half, the speed of light should seem like it goes at 4 times the speed
    in order to get to the point where the speed of light would measure the same you would need to either increase your "time" or lengthen the measuring stick
    right?

    • @steue7419
      @steue7419 3 года назад

      I get what your trying to do but the minimal time between your eyes and the stick it’s unmeasurable I guess if the stick was a long way away and it was at 50% you could see a longer stick or a shorter one idk

    In Dr Tyson's analogy of insects trying to learn about humans, I worry that our decades of observation of space is the equivalent of the insects taking all their photos in under a minute within a single time zone. To how many daily human activities would they be completely oblivious? We could be making assumptions that would be laughably foolish to a being that has lived long enough to see the life cycle of stars. These are the thoughts that keep me up at night.

    Listening to this sparked a question. Can someone explain to me? If time passing is completely relative to gravity and velocity, then whose clock do you use to measure the age of of the universe? Seems like everyone’s clock is ticking at it’s own relativistic rate. Is there a universal baseline?

      I thought he was on in the new studio. I remember being pleasantly surprised when looking through JRE eps that Neil Tyson was on a somewhat recent episode!
      Although the JRE fanbase can be pretty hostile with Neil and say hes interrupting when hes just more excited to teach.
      Thats why Startalk is where its at!! Perfect format for Neil.

  • @Funktastic_Ed

    I have some question:
    Does gravity prevent spacetime expansion ?
    In other words:
    Does all matter expand or does it only affect empty space ?
    In other words:
    Does spacetime contained in atoms also expand ?
    And if yes:
    How could we know about expansion if we are also expanding ?
    In other words:
    If i draw two circles on an A4 sheet of Paper, then enlarge it to an A3 sheet of paper, overall size has changed but in the circles perspective nothing did, is that correct ?

    • @MrT------5743
      @MrT------5743 3 года назад

      I don't know all the answers, but I think all space is expanding. The space within our solar system, within the milky way galaxy etc. But this expansion over shorter distances are not as strong as gravity. Our solar system's gravity holds everything together. Same goes for our galaxy and our local group of galaxies. They are bound by gravity. In the far far future, if humans are still alive in our solar system, we will only see the milky way and a hand full of other galaxies and the rest of the sky will be black.

  • @trumpingtonfanhurst694
    @trumpingtonfanhurst694 3 года назад +1

    Due to the speed of light, and also the expansion of the Universe, shouldn't we see galaxies both popping in and out of visibility at the edge of the Observable Universe when we gain the capability to do so? Won't that be cool?

    • @Sinnbad21
      @Sinnbad21 3 года назад +1

      Yes. At some point, some of the most distant galaxies that we can see now will completely disappear for us once they get past the horizon

    • @MrT------5743
      @MrT------5743 3 года назад

      Things will never come back from the edge, once it is past the edge of the observable universe it becomes gone forever - Becomes unobservable. Hence the term.
