    Always amazing to watch this man speak, including in documentaries and such. He always has a big smile on his face when he talks about this stuff. You can tell he really enjoys what he does.

    I love this scientist. This dude is so happy to talk about what he loves that he always has this big grin on his face. Some men just want to watch the world to learn.

    If you ever get a chance watch Filippenko's video lecture series - one of the most fascinating series of lectures I have ever watched.

    The Andrea Ghez time lapse movie for the "Sagittarius A Star" Supermassive Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way is AWESOME. The Stars, some of which are many times larger than our own Sun, are moving at thousands of kilometers per hour through space in their respective orbits, it's mind-blowing.
    Everyone even slightly interested in that sort of thing should go to either her or the UCLA Astronomy Department website and watch it.

    (There are tons of versions available on RUclips also but the version on the Website is the most recent/up-to-date and complete.)

    Do you really think that the scale factor of the universe is increasing proportionally to time when the average density is zero? See at 18:04. I have no idea how this follows Friedmann's theory developed in 1922.

    Infinity is true as a concept even though it's not a physical reality. We know the physical universe was made to be what it is because most (if not all) of the common elements are essential and beneficial directed working parts inside and outside of every living organism.

    • @stepaushi
      @stepaushi 4 года назад

      Concepts are not true or false; statements are true or false. "Infinity is true" does not make sense.

  • @JungleJargon
    @JungleJargon 8 лет назад +1

    You can't measure time, around a black hole, by our time that's relative to our position in the universe and you also can't accurately calculate the age of the universe because there is no absolute measure of time or distance in the universe.

  • @JungleJargon
    @JungleJargon 8 лет назад +1

    Can you escape your position in the universe where it is right now?

    You can't know the distance to a black hole because of the dilation of time and distance.
