When supporting the "something from nothing" theory it is observed that particles can pop into and out of "existence". However, much like the rabbit in a magician's hat just because you don't know where a particle came from or where it went to doesn't mean that it goes nowhere or ceases to exist.
right energy cant be destroyed nor created just converted into another form of energy like when you get shocked that energy doesnt go away you hear a sound or see light from the shock that energy was always there it just had to build up for you to see it
I have become obsessed with this series I listen to it while I'm working turns my boring mundane job into a time of excitement and enlightenment. I actually find myself excited to go-to work so I can put my earbuds in and journey through time and the cosmos thank you so much for this experience bringing the knowledge from the smartest humans to all of us
My dad is a scientist and I grew up hearing these words but never really understood them. I love this show and can call him when I have questions. You explain things so well and open up a new conversation with my dad. 💜
Same. My dad studied Physics at Cambridge university about 50 years ago. After watching videos on atomic bombs the other week, I asked him how it was possible to isolate a single uranium/plutonium electron for the firing at high speed into the uraium/plutonium core to trigger the nuclear reaction which causes the explosion. He was explaining it to me, but kind of lost me during it, and I didn't properly find out the answer, but I think he knows how to do it. He is clever. Ask your dad the same question and see what he says about it.
@ST3F1N YNG are you asking how much money someone makes as a scientist? It varies, of course, but they don't earn nearly as much as certain religious people who chronically lie about science. They're typically the ones who make the big bucks 👍
I've been puzzling over the conundrums of nothing, infinity, eternity since I was very young. I was in my bed trying to imagine when I was 8 and actually started to cry because it was so mind- boggling. Of course I don't cry now but it is the unfathomable mystery to me.
To be an animal on this planet listening to a series on how it all came to be is so mind boggling and so incredible and it only took 4.4 billion years of earthtime to have a species of animal that could produce this wonderful series of videos so I can contemplate it all. Its absolutely absurd!
It's mind blowing to me how perfect everything is for us to even be able to exist, be conscious.. the more I try to wrap my head around it the more it points to a god. Some higher power.. or a simulation.
Sorry if this isn't a complement but I love falling asleep to your videos. It's the perfect amount of interest and calmness. The music and your voice is soothing, but the way you present the science (and history) is engaging and easily understandable. The story telling is one of my favorite parts. You aren't just explaining concepts, you're telling the history of how we discovered this science.
I'll be honest here, I really don't understand the majority of what's discussed in these videos. Not the fault of the narrator or script. I think it's to do with my learning difficulties. However, even though I don't understand it, I find it endlessly fascinating! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these amazing videos!
Adhd person here with possibly other learning disabilities, I agree I often don't really know what they're explaining in videos like this but everything about space just fascinates me so much that I can't stop watching more.
Watch it again. Any time you don't understand something that's said, pause the video and look into it until you understand, and then press play again & repeat
Anyone else listen to these while falling asleep. Hearing some of it right on edge of sleep trips me out and gives it new and profound meaning at times. Used to do the same with coat to coast am.
I absolutely love when HoTU details the 19th century history of physics and astronomy. These personalities ( for me) are as intriguing as is the stunning genius of their creations. Thank you, Mr. Kelly and the entire creative staff at the History of the Universe ❤
Can I just take a moment to thank you for making a documentary genuinely intended to inform and not to awe or bamboozle. We need more content with this high quality ethos online. Two thumbs up. Magnificent job.👍🏿👍🏿
Even Gods got parents. Most likely an absentee dad and a mother with substance abuse issues, judging by how humans turned out and our own histories. The man kicked his own children out. Poor Eve had no female role model growing up, so what does she do? Runs around half naked taking candy from strangers. And Adam was so desperate for her that he went along with all her bad ideas, excusing and rationalizing it all along the way. His own sister. And because they are a pro life family, she was forced to give birth to the world's first baby born of incest.
I couldn't agree more. Too many science channels spewing the same sensational ideas, it's difficult for layman enthusiasts to find compelling, interesting information.
@@masturbates Many scientists and "follow the science" physicians think they are scientists simply because the parrot what other scientists are saying.
So much this. I'm a physics major, but not specialized in astrophysics or particle physics, but I follow both with interest. This means I have some basis on which to judge the channel's quality, but still learn things. And it is absolutely top notch, explaining complex concepts far better than I could, sticking mostly to well-established science, but including reasonable speculation, labeled as such. Bravo indeed.
No, you can't. What do you think the thumbs up button stands for? Always annoys me, to read through heaps of ass kissing comments. Do you think others want to read your worshiping?
How this channel doesn’t have a million subs yet is beyond me. Such high quality content. From the subjects, to explanations, to visuals, to tempo, to music. Everything together works so well.
I have tried to "like" this video now for the 3rd time unsucessfully. Perhaps, it makes some algorithms unhappy. Maybe, the bible/creation-stuff in the first minute was a bad idea...
youtube prefers channels with more frequent upload than those that take longer time to upload. My guess is within a week time. Anytime longer than that, youtube will not recommend that much this is why you see those channels with low quality videos but high frequency get propped up pretty often. I rmb back then, I used to get a lot of recommendation from vsauce, but none at all
This is the best made content I’ve ever seen for quantum physics. The clarity of the narrative and quality of the information is incredible. Thank you for such a delightful presentation.
The sheer beauty of the words describing the mysteries of our universe in the scripts of your videos make me feel an indescribable warmth. I can feel that your videos come from the heart, a curious love to talk about things that we humans will never fully understand. Thank you. ❤️
My thoughts too, beautifully expressed. The writing evokes a generous twinkling eye suggesting 'not to worry, we can't believe we're saying this either'.
Agreed. Very high quality content in the didactic sense. My only complaint is the use of so much fluffy visual filler that doesn't really represent the underlying concepts. Pretty but unilluminating and perhaps even a little misleading. Still and all, I'm hooked on this channel.
This was so well put together and described with with non sensationalist commentary, fairly simplified without being condescending allowing almost every paragraph to warrant further research ! Clear and concise, factual and imaginative showing how great minds have worked through some of the greatest mysteries of the universe and how much more there is to learn, excellent work !
This comment is more about the channel in general rather than this video in particular. Back when this first channel was first announced, I expected it to be a mindbending and at time existentialist ride, but I couldn't have imagined the sheer extent of how much of it, especially the former there would be. Thank you for always delivering it all, and keep up the good work, folks!
It was a fantastic documentary. The ending literally gave me goosebumps and also the feeling of being alone in the infinite darkness. Definitely deserves a few million views.
Try not to be suckered in by these videos! Some of what the narrator says is based on factuality,, but some it is spurious boasting! Fact! What's most important is NOT the when or where........ but rather ..... the how and the who!!! Everything made of matter EVERYTHING.... was intentionally created!!! Who could possibly create matter?!?! Man CAN NOT make matter!!! Therefore, the importance of life and the laws of physics trumps everything!!! Here on RUclips is a video of the "Issus Leaf Hopper",, and biologists and entomologists studied this insect and discovered that it has ~two gears~ on it's hind legs!!! Actual gears!!! If you check out the video, you'll see for yourself!!! Why is it very very important?? Because man has NEVER seen any engineering made by man in nature!!! There is ONLY one explanation for the existence of ~engineered gears ~ there MUST be an ""engineer mind"" that intentionally designed those actual gears! Albert Einstein already knew that God existed! He said, "I believe in God because I see him,,,, in the details in life"!!! Why would Einstein say that?? Because when he saw engineering in the human body, and in birds for instance, that are perfectly designed for flawless flight(s)!!! I'm with Einstein when it comes to there being a "Master Engineer"!!! Try to watch that video on the leaf hopper!!!! Cheers!!!!
You have the absolute BEST background music. It compliments the subject and your voice and commentating style so f***ing well. I love it. Your videos are so fascinating yet so perfect to fall asleep to. I can watch your videos throughout the day and also while I'm lying in bed struggling to fall asleep. Perfect content. Both channels are amazing and I'm so glad they do well because your content should be seen and heard by everyone. Thank you for your outstanding work my good friend.
Because causality has a speed limit every point in space sees itself as the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles. When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment. The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is predictable because it takes place in the predictable past and the probabilistic wave properties of particles takes place in the probabilistic future.
Its not scary , we have just started considering the 14 Billion Years. Just 50-60 Years of Proper Technological equipment's and we have lot of information. If Humans existed for a few thousand then we would mostly have very good answers for everything
@@ManiBalajiC LMAO. Imagine having this kind of ignorant hubris. Humans can exist for 100 million years, and will never come close to grasping even the most fundamental basics. We will continue to try though, and therein lies the fun.
@@Laotzu.Goldbug pardon me, what do you mean that "humans can exist for 100 million years and we will never even come close to grasping the most fundamental basics?" What basics are you talking about that we will never come close to understanding? Does E equal MC squared and or the knowledge of the fundamental speed of life not constitute any sort of basic fundamental? Go to any library, especially a college one, look at the great amount of material that one can read and ponder upon for more than a lifetime. Or, just go to the Internet and read! I must say that I remember being on the Internet in the very late 1980s and early 1990s when you could go on the Internet and within 20 minutes, you could look at and read every new webpage created in less than half an hour. I would know that because I used to do that! Today that's an impossibility. You're gonna tell me that with all the knowledge that we have that we don't seem to have the basics down? We have general relativity and specific relativity. We have the fundamentals. Without understanding the basics how could we have satellites up in the air beaming down information to each and every one of us on the planet so that we can communicate in the way that we do? Just because we don't have it all pinpointed down to the exact time prior to 1×10 to the -43 of a second, the time at which our understanding of physics breaks down, and because there are many things in the universe that we do not know what they are and how they work, should not diminish from all the areas that we have come to learn about ourselves, our planet, and the universe that we inhabit, all from sitting on one small planet without ever even being able to leave our solar system, nevertheless our galaxy, or the cluster of galaxies that we are part of. If one pays attention to some or a lot of the information that nature provides us as well as those who study nature how do you even ask,, the basics are not too hard to figure out overtime. It's some of the specifics that we have yet to work out. Although the question I have, which I've had for many years is, how much more do we humans really need to learn about in order for us to do what it is that we need to do most importantly in order to survive and pass or genes down, as well as all the other life on this planet, and that is, how is it that we are going to be able to live sustainably together on this planet into the future, at least until the next cosmic or earthly crisis which occurs that we have zero control over, such as a super volcanic eruption a real pandemic or, plague, or some other natural event which we will have little to zero control over! Without understanding the basics, this video would never have been able to be made and produced and sent out over the Internet and through the air wave to you and I where we can debate with each other and contemplate the thoughts and ideas that we have and share with each other. Take care and stay safe
what if ironcially we know nearly everything.. butt we assume cause its only naturl too that there is so much we dont know.. and in the next 100years we realize there is actually much at all..? example.. a person is born and knows bascially nothing .. butt lives and has no option butt to learn and see new things. and basically there is always something more to learn.. so this would then reinforce the notion that "we could never know everything.. because there is always something new to learn" bascially that assumption requires there to be no cap to knowledge right... so what if right now.. 2022 we actually knew like 80% of all there is to know... butt we dont know that either for obvious reasons... like for example we say things like every answer we get leaves us with even more questions.. which lead to more questions.. simple easy to understand . we're all on the same page here.. butt what if its we get to a point where we have tons of questions branching off into seemingly whole new discovieres etc. only to find out that all these questions end up all with one and the same answer.. so think of a tree that huge and had more and more branches as u go up it.. and in every direction butt the sky is th sealing and all branches STOP exactly at it.. or rather think of a diamo shape.. the bottom point would represent early humans and their knowledge aka basically a lack of everything.. and lets say the sides of the diamond are qautom mechanis and relativity.. now we past those two point and its na rrowing down to the other point.. BUTT we at no point on the their journey know our location on that diamond cause the other shape right now our views reflect is a upside trigngle.. that in our eyes contiounsually gets larger and larger... that could be infinit or as u guess .. we hit the "base" on the other end.. aka ltierally nothing new to be learnt. butt again we cant know that ever till we hit it if it is indeed like that.. whos to say in the next 100 years the "theory of everything" actually and literally wont figure it all out.. to say we wont and cant know everything is also just an assumption.. and thats also based litieraly on our lack of knowledge... whos to say when u dying of old age.. another brilliant man proves a whole new theory and field.. and it has massive answers that solve and explains more then all the current theories combined...? not saying thats the case butt its literally plausible that we actually might evetnuall "know " everything.. it could be far far far off.. or just around the corner butt we cant know that cause we dont know where we are in terms of what we dont know yet if that makes sense.. lol
@@Laotzu.Goldbug That’s what I thought, Herr Obergruppenführer. Although I suppose it depends on one’s definition or experience of “fun”. True enough from my point of view!
I absolutely love the channel. I dont know why it's only in the last week the RUclips algorithm recommend it to me . I watch content like this all the time. Its perfect animation with perfect narration in a perfect time format. RUclips isn't being fair to you somehow. You should have way more subs, these are better than PBS space time and they're content is pretty good.
This is a very, very good channel. I thought I could listen to this and fall asleep but instead found myself fascinated by how well every piece of information is put together. Finished watching a few videos fully awake, gonna watch them all later. Thank you!
The whole work and channel is amazing, but this one tops it. I remind reading the books by Paul Davies, and back then nobody had produced such beautiful imagery. Thank you so much for that! And I'd add that regardless of the option that may be "the answer" to the Universe/Multiverse, out of those presented at the ending, any one of them is enough, because finding "Truth" and "our place" in the great scheme is rewarding in itself. Thanks once again for making this so beautifully illustrated. :)
In my early life, I wanted to pursue a career in astronomy, but my science professors ALL told me I'd have to earn a PhD in astronomy to even qualify as a relief dome polisher, as it was a closed field, In the 50's, who could have foreseen the Hubble, or even landing on the moon?
What I have found in my life is that sometimes very intelligent and well-meaning mentors give you advice that turns out to be absolutely wrong. Following your dream doesn't mean you'll always be right, but it does mean you'll realize the fruits of your dream.
@@YogiMcCaw ... You are absolutely right. In College they told me I was a genius and should pursue a career as a Nuclear Physicist, but my "dream" were women... I liked (and still like) them Blondes, brunettes, Redheads... all of them, so I pursued my dream... Had a lot of action and happiness and spent a lot of money that I don't have now... I'm sure the world will find another "genius" to find a way travel faster thru space at warp speed or something... I'm happy with my decision.
The way you explained Guth’s theory and it’s relation to how matter was created with the expansion of the universe is nothing short of breathtaking. You helped me visualize one of the most important and difficult subjects so simply. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing how a complex field of science has been explained in such a captivating way.The search for explanation of our existence is both frustrating and exciting, perhaps it's in human nature to keep enquiring and may be we will have a better understanding of our existence.
This channel is an exemplary example of one of my favorite things about youtube documentaries: they don't have nearly the same "appeal to the masses" pressure from above that forces so many tv documentaries to simplify things to the "lies for children" level
These are the types of videos I like to watch at night and rethink my life choices. And even tho I don't get like half of the things that were said in this video i still watched it whole. Also I laughed way to hard at the song used at 31:27.
In a dream you can process weeks. Months, years, of information in an instant. It would make sense that this entire thing could be a random fluctuation. I’d buy that
H’mmmm!? Zizi........ ? Quantum....What part can be “grasped”? Which dimension? Grasp with what? When You realise that You cannot grasp Quantum Physics.....You are becoming nearer to your “i” Of Unlimited!? Which is You, and will stop striving to pick yourself up by your shoelaces! Maybe? Now That is Quantum Physics in a Nutshell....But there is no Nut...Shell or shoelaces. That is what keeps Us watching, hoping that we can move on from the beginning...of videos! Regards
Very well presented. Cutting through to the nuts and bolts of the discussion in a very considered way... just right from a temporal perspective. Well articulated, not too glitsy as to lose credibility or too dry as to lose your audience. Brilliant!
To explain it in the simplest way possible.When your tv is off we have nothing.When it is on we see the entire universe.What is hidden are the inner mechanics at work.
I just wanted to say i have watched all your videos, and you're just incredibly amazing. I believe its simple your passion so well translated in your videos by your expert craft, that distinguishes you from everything else on youtube. You sir are amazing, please never stop, and we'll always support you.
The naasadiiya-suukta of the Rgveda (X 129, Hymn of Creation) seems to start with a kewl "definition" of HUP, so to speak: naasadaasiinno sadaasiit tadaaniim (pada-paaTha: na; asat; aasiit; na; u; sat; aasiit tadaaniim). Then (before the Big Bang?) there was not the Non-existent nor the Existent. - Greetings from Finland, by a Sanskrit freak. 😛
@@pwesiti you're not alone in listening to this when you do, I tend to watch the channel before bed and if I miss any of it, I come back to it the next night. It is particularly soothing, and sometimes a gift in reminding me how little matters if I've had a rough day or something. The other gift is the constant mystery, in which my ears are always up for information, accepting that many answers will not likely be known in my lifetime, but there will be many afterwards still searching.
I don't believe we would ever be able to experience nothingness. When I went to the dentist for my wisdom teeth removal, it seemed as if though that I had traveled through time. But of course it was the anesthesia and not some kind of dentist time machine. I think that is the closest experience I have had to nothingness. I am left to say that it makes sense that not only did I not experience anything in between the time that I was given the anesthesia and when it wore off, time was also something I hadn't experienced. If some form of consciousness were to exist after death, I believe that we wouldn't even experience nothingness then. It would just be the end of one consciousness and the start of another, no matter the time or form that came before.
We experience nothingness by thinking about the time before we were born. We never cared about anything because we never existed yet. Nothingness isn't light, dark, or gray, it is the absence of those things.
@@M3Toasty that's completely wrong there isn't a such thing is absolute nothingness it's actually oxymoronic the concept of nothing is actually something
We’re experiencing infinity forever and in order to have a physical finite reality we must have a non physical infinite reality in between the two we have the quark we call”now”. Unification only occurs in that passage of death to life, life to death. Or at least my guess can be called a theory if I can get my lab coat crisp and white enough.
Maybe we just can't experience the before or after life because we aren't there right now. Like imagine your life is a tapestry and youre cruising along the thread that weaves it, you can't see the complete picture while you're making it but when you look at it from the outside its clear what's going on
ive always looked at a total nothing of what we remember before birth. even if you remember the womb you cant remember before that. kinda like total nothingness will only ever exist at the end and beginning of things. but for something to be born from nothing is hard to belive
It's amazing how searching for answers for seemingly inconsequential questions can result in great discoveries and all new sciences like quantum mechanics and calculus, etc.
@@VlfkfnejisjejrjtjrieIt doesn't matter if a god created it or it came about naturally his comment is still true. The cosmos is incredible, We learn things we never could have expected.
Top quality stuff. Really happy that one can find this kind of content on RUclips. Entire History of the Universe channel never fails to fascinate and impress.
I am just impressed that we know some of these things..... From scavenging carcasses with broken rocks..... To having this level of understanding is pretty awesome. We still have an almost infinite way to go.....but we'll hopefully get there.
"Almost Infinite" is an oxymoron. If you are not infinite already, you will always be infinitely far away, no matter how close you get. You are probably thinking of an unimaginably large number, not infinite.
The issue with particles popping in and out from nothing / nowhere is the fact that they are doing so within an existing universe. We simply doesn’t understand the mechanisms behind that phenomenon. So it doesn’t really compute to compare an entire universe bursting into existence from “nothing”. Mind-boggling
You are doing amazing work with this channel and this video was no exception. Rarely can a RUclips video hold my attention for 41 minutes straight without losing me but this was absolutely captivating.
Didn't even make it half way through my first video of yours and I already subscribed. Amazing content. Almost forgot I was on RUclips. You need a tv series
I'm lost. Well explained as this may be, I can't wrap my head around the causality of things that are nowhere or everywhere at once. But the storytelling is superb.
Yea it’s pretty crazy but the universe is under no obligation to make sense to us, we can only interpret information through our 3D minds. Maybe we learn more in our next form.
Then u haven’t experienced ego loss, imagine getting your humanity stripped down till you feel like your nothing, at that moment though u feel like u can everything and everyone
Wow. I’m glad this video popped up in my recommended feed. I grew up studying physics and astronomy as a kid and wanted to go into that field til I got intimidated too much by the math. I also could never fully understand quantum physics and mechanics as well as I do classical physics. I haven’t studied the astrophysics field in a very long time, so watching this video was very refreshing.
@@chriskelly6574 : Very true. I’ve thought about that, especially since these days from 2020 have become the times to challenge ourselves. It’d take me more than one math class to approach basic calculus and trig because I haven’t had to use anything beyond basic middle school algebra for a very long time. I’ve forgotten that much.
@@spacelinx Mastering algebra and trig is a great start. It was for me.. I'm in a similar place. Washed out of an engineering program and didn't become a famous guitar guy and ended up spending 25 years in the cab of a truck. I hang on to dwindling math skills and watch these videos with awe and envy. Look at what people can do with the game of life; mind blown. Ya, damn right I want to study the expansion of space. I bet you will just eat it up. The want to understand this or that will fuel the need to master that and those I recon. But(!), god god man don't do it! Don't do it unless the not doing it drives you to murder or suicide. That's a quote I heard. It just means there is a lot of work in those dreams so be ready. That 'BRILLIANT' place looks like a good place to pick up math skills. Good luck, live an excellent life. Stay in touch if you want, we can egg each other along. ttfn
Finally someone asked the question I’ve been asking for years. How does something come from nothing. This video is the best attempt to confront this paradox . Although it had no final solution, I learned a lot about the functioning universe.
Well you saying nothing is just the human perspective of that, we are truly just results of this physics explained in the video, and by natural selection are meant to simply exist. You were not meant to understand nothingness, however it’s just a product of natural forces, and at a human scale, a product of you trying to stay alive. The connection between those truths, and the ideas explained here is where human thought begins to break down, our scope simply is not wide enough.
@BenJIII I'm sorry but your human thought seems to understand something that the rest of us don't. It's better to say "I believe" rather than state it as factual. I believe in God. Despite many physical and non physical moments I can't prove it. So I say " I believe"
This is such a brilliant video. Would love to have seen a few equations, but I guess that's what PBS Spacetime and ParthG are for. I've watched all your videos. They're superbly explained and the narration is better than any BBC Horizon I've ever seen. Great stuff. Keep up the good work fella.
What does it feel like to have a revelation that you realize is gonna change everything. Like Einstein general relativity or Newtons creating an advanced calculus so he could explain his discoveries. I'm amazed by scientists of today but the fact they were able to do all this with nothing of what we use today is mind boggling
@@trenhen4311 there have been some wonderful polymaths since the Pyramids, but we must wonder apart from the Islamic scholars who maintained and advanced scientific knowledge during the Dark Ages, and before them the Greeks where would we be?
I'm just a layman ! I can't even imagine how smart the pioneers of quantum physics were, to come up with these theories! Now that these theories are long established, I still don't understand them yet these geniuses came up with them out of the blue!
I'm a layman too. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can not possibly understand deep real stuff without embarking on a ~10-year advanced mathematics training course. A scientist who cannot explain to a layperson doesn't really understand the stuff properly themselves. In fact, I think Einstein (?) said something to that effect? Or maybe it was Heisenberg? Science's greatest flaw is its practitioners ha ha. But the early quantum physicists kinda ruled, they exuded geek-cool. 😎🤓
Funnily enough, I often watch your videos when I need inspiration for my worldbuilding. It seems applicable, even if the concepts aren't one-for-one. I think understanding how our world came to be helps me figure out how the world my character occupy came to be. The more you learn about the world around you the more you understand how we created myths to make sense of it all.
Might be that the Universe is not even solvable from any point, scale or time within itself. Might be it is a process trying to solve itself in the fullness of time and we are just trapped inside it. From early myths through theology to modern science we might just cycle through more refined ways of enjoying the ride. This channel, with its amazing contributors is certainly expressing that joy.
Does anyone feel like me that the reading voice is very soothing and it makes me fall asleep very quickly even though there are many new things I need to hear and learn?
OK, I've finished watching now, AND WHAT A FANTASTIC PIECE THIS IS, Geraint! Absolutely first class. To put this altogether in a video lasting less than an hour, and to give clear meaning to the many baffling questions we find ourselves asking, is a tremendous achievement. I have a working understanding of the topic(s) but rarely does one find such an astonishingly thorough presentation, of most (if not all) of the whole complication, in one clearly defined space and time: the extended moment it took me to view this marvellous agglomeration of stuff just within and just beyond our present grasp of reality. And furthermore, I did not miss a single word! Absolutely fantastic. Huge gratitude. Even a sense of indebtedness.
Was thinking something along the same lines but couldn't quite sum it up, then I saw your comment and I now I can just thank you for surmising what I couldn't put to words.
When I was a kid, I would try so hard to imagine what true nothing would be like.. and certain times I would reach a point of understanding what that would mean (to the extent I was capable at least) and I'll never forget how that would make me feel. Scared, curious, astounded.. I can't get there anymore. I wonder what that's about.
Holy crap, what a wonderful educational video. Absolute perfect mix of history, mathematics watered down for laymen, and a soothing voice presenting a well made collage. Well done!
infinite acceleration as opening sequence of an infinite universe where planets are fed by solar wind and stars and galaxies are feed by cosmic radiation (infinite acceleration eliminates time)
@@replica1052 yes and no. They actually both exist simultaneously. Think of light. It's the fastest thing in the universe. But anything moving at the speed of light would be completely motionless. And all-encompassing or infinite universe would have to be everything and nothing at the same time. That's the reason all the known energy in the universe being a complete balance between positive and negative forces equates to absolute zero. The universe itself is EVERYTHING and NOTHING at the same time. To quote from the ancient Gospel of Thomas: "If they ask you, 'what is the sign of your father in you?' say to them, 'It is movement and repose.' ".
Super anemic example here but, I find "nothing" so fascinating. Even sound proves the same. If youre born deaf, you hear nothing. But even nothing has a sound, which makes it something. I seriously love this stuff.
I was six I watched the Challenger shuttle explode live on TV in front of me and in Canada we only had one channel, CBC but from the age of two to six every single Monday to Friday they played Star Trek. I've always asked what is bigger than big and what is smaller than small. This video looks like it's going to slide right in that path.
It's not actually nothing, it's nothingness, no consciousness, no awareness. Nothing is something, after all. If you can perceive it, if you can be aware of it then it is something. Nothingness moves into form by intention. Sound(consciousness) then light(consciousness awareness) then matter( the physical). That's all I know.
@@s1iznc1d34 I am going by my own "near death" experiences and out of body experiences. We are resonant light beings having a human experience existing on a vibrational continuum. When I died I experienced what researchers and experiencers call "the void". I call it nothingness, where there is no awareness. That is what is constantly moving into form, or sound, which is pure consciousness(that would be like something from nothing which is not accurate since there is no such thing as nothing, as I stated before, if you can observe it then it is something). Sound lowers to light and light lowers to physical matter, which is this universe and our physical bodies. Everything in the universe is made of energy. You are a conscious being, yes? Well, what is the source of your consciousness, what is consciousness? It is all that was, is and ever will be. Everything is one, we are all one. We, as beings, came into form by virtue of a vibration. We are different expressions of the same creator. There are multiple layers and dimensions to our being and I still have many questions. I realize everyone is on there own journey and will make what they will of this life which is the greatest gift of all. Be well and have a wonderful journey, friend.
@@s1iznc1d34 Dude, I appreciate that you want to dive deep and all, but you are sounding ridiculous. I know that I died because the medical team, the doctors and every living being that was near me told me of how I flat-lined and was resuscitated back to life. And they told me of the conversation I had with Elvis Presley which I have no recollection. I know you want to speculate what I experienced, you shouldn't. You should understand that what is on the other side of the veil is indescribable from this human perspective and words. All is consciousness. Nevermind the matrix lol, it is just a physical construct. Beyond the matrix is pure consciousness. Everything is consciousness, all that was, is and ever will be. I know as well as anyone how strange this life is, I call this dimension the mucky muck because of how heavy it is. And the Angels that visit me are on the other side of the veil. They are spirit in form, they are not physical they are a light body. You, understandably, are entirely caught up in the physical aspect of yourself. You are a resonant light being having a human experience. Let that sink in. You forgot your true nature intentionally in order to have the human experience. Have a great journey.
@@s1iznc1d34 I didn't realize your statement was a question and I agree, it was rude of me to imply that it was ridiculous. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to apologize. I realize that we all perceive reality differently and no one is wrong for their point of view. My sincerest apologies amigo.
This channel puts out great documentries. They remind me of old history channel and Discovery channel shows before those turned into reality show wastelands.
Brilliant as always. I love the long format. What I find particularly well done is how the history of the universe (and earth on the other channel) is told through the history of science. It's tragic that the view and subscribe numbers are so low. Please keep up the amazing work.
This exceptionally well done video was a joy to watch and contemplate. Oddly enough, one of the greatest breakthroughs I ever had in wrapping my head around such mysterious particle reactions and entangled interactions was when I heard this 13 year old kid named Logan call into a radio show in tears. He said he wanted to share something God told him. The host was very kind but very taken off guard and said. um...okay? Logan explained that the night before his Dad was roping his favorite calf that he loved most. It was born from a very old cow and always needed a little extra help. Logan explained she broke her back, and he had just come in from putting her down himself. He said the first thing he did was ask God why? Why did you take her from me, she was special. And then he said God told him that His son was special to Him too, but that he died for a purpose. I heard this and can't explain the interacting effect it had on me. I began to tremble and my eyes welled up involuntarily. I'm a blue collar working guy that works long hours. I'm no softie, and I'm certainly no religious zealot. I was left in total awe not just of this young man's inner goodness, but of how sound waves containing language data from a bundle of atoms very far away could physically affect me and every atom of me so profoundly from a distance.
Interestingly in long days of existential crysis I also came to an idea, that if you add everything that makes up our universe you will end up with zero. In mathematics you can write 0= 1-1, or you can write 0= 2/4+(-1)+cos(pi)+1.5 etc. And the universe may be just a complicated expression of zero. And since it is always zero, it has no beginning and no end.
= essentially means 'just is' , still doesn't answer why. Asking why makes ask much sense as asking why is one thing only one thing, or why 2=2. Nothing wrong with asking though.
Zero is an arbitrary starting point and convenient for numbers. Zero is something. But to relate numbers to reality would really be to start with 1 and go in both directions,+1-
This is actually pretty smart thinking. Think about it. All the known energy in the universe is a perfect balance of positive and negative energy. Being a perfect balance of equal but opposite forces the two would neutralize each other amounting to absolute zero. In fact, it's the only way an infinite universe could exist. Infinity would have to, by its very nature, equate to a totality. Meaning, it could never experience anything NEW and thus EVERYTHING from the perspective of infinity must be at a complete stillness. And complete stillness equates to nothingness; a void (our understanding of death; the opposite of that which is active, alive). But, nothing can exist in a void...Including a void. And thus awareness (positive energy/matter) and NON awareness (negative energy /gravity/void/ death) exist simultaneously and harmoniously. IMHO the wave symbol is the most simplified and poetic equation that Literally explains the entire universe. I'd follow that hunch If I were you. Just my thoughts...
Wonderful awe inspiring story, how true the saying that 'Out there is a Universe, it's not friendly, it's not hostile. it's indifferent' look to the sky my friends and feel humbled.
The problem is that we can only explain things based on our limited understanding. Anything beyond that is guessing. In fact there are lots of things we don't even understand very well, like time, etc.
"The universe was adapted from the beginning to give rise to life and intelligence." I read this quote some 44 years ago in the Readers Digest. And I think it spoke of that intelligence as able to look at the universe and contemplate it. Seems as though....what good is this wondrous creation without intelligence to enjoy the view, and everything else that entails. And I suppose we know where that is going to take us.
In my humble opinion, something from nothing defies logic, even considering the strangeness of quantum physics. The birth of the universe could very well be quantum in nature, but still come from something (a parallel dimension or some version of "Brane" theory). Things like virtual particles and dark matter might actually exist and/or spend most of their time in a parallel dimension or dimensions... dimension/s that are invisible in most ways (but not all). With the possibility of dark matter in a parallel dimension, it could be that only gravity from the dark matter is able to leak across to our dimension. Michio Kaku talked about this during an interview.
I tend to agree. It's the same as expecting order out of chaos. Interestingly I find that materialists want it both ways. For instance, that the Big Bang which is a calamitous and chaotic event has no bearing on the the order and rotation of planets, or the way the universe is formed. Only that the " Big bang ", is the " Kickstart " to the Universe. Even though that makes Zero sense. They can accept order out of chaos when that can't be observed Anywhere In nature. Only can chaos come from order, when a system degenerates and breaks down. Just as you can't expect something from nothing. It's a blind spot for them but they don't seem to care or think much of it.
Creating something from nothing is testable and know to be a act to this present day. Check out he Casimir effect and from that other Quantum fluctuations in the void whereby particles appear and disappear in fractions of second out of nowhere.
Not ever being capable of knowing the exact nature of pure nothing is the huge problem. Could it have been such an unstable state to cause it to explode? How would that work without nothing to explode? It would have to be something like an "emotion" brought about by too much nothing. That we actually know nothing about pure nothing, it in itself can only be classified as another of many probabilities.
@@StephenBlower You mentioned that "creating something from nothing is testable", but who's testing, and who's creating? Therein is the point, none of these things just happen. Just as they've never been able to replicate a single cell. This goes to the crux of the problem. Something from nothing is a human concept because it takes an agent to conceive of something from nothing.
Interesting fact about Heligoland. The postcard you show is from the last decade of the 19th century. In it you can see the stark separation of the Unterland, the land near sea level and the Oberland, the plateau. The island doesn't look like that anymore and now features a Mittelland. In 1947 as part of Operation Big Bang the British blew up 7400 tons of surplus ammunition and explosives left over from WWII on the island. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history up until that time. It was figured there was a possibility the entire island could be blown up but the sandstone of the island allowed the blast wave to escape. In the end the southern tip of the island was destroyed and the enormous crater made the trasition from the land at sea level to the plateau much less stark.
Very cool video. Although it doesn't really have anything to do with the title question. As physics is a description of the natural world, the question of how a universe could be born from nothing (actually nothing, that is, not anything) is not a question for physics. Physics cannot say anything about the properties of nothing. The question of a universe coming from nothing is a question of metaphysics, philosophy, and theology. To its credit, this video mentions this right before the 4th act.
This is part of the reason I find that theology works in parallel with science, and not either or. what I find most interesting is the similarity between a infinity and theological and philosophical concepts of it. If you were to have a infinite sheet of paper, and on that sheet of paper where an infinite amount of ‘1’s and ‘0’s, if your were cut a hole in that sheet that’s the size of standard copying paper you would simply get a sheet of paper of that size with a bunch of useless code, that is Limited Infinity. if you were to build an infinitely powerful computer of infinite size and complexity and you were to plug in all of the code then you would have a Unlimited Infinity. If you were to separate that code at an infinite amount of segments and each with between 1-infinite amount of lines and code included in each segment and to have a single computer screen for every segment, than you would have a infinite line of screens that would show all possible things that exists, or don’t exist, everything that you could think of and far beyond that would be portrayed on theses screens an infinite amount of times. it is certain that such an Infinity would make an Infinite amount of copies of itself all able to do the exact same as the original, since there’s an infinite number of computers there’s no way to determine if one is the original, it is infinitely unlikely that one is the original. Even if there were no screens connected to the computer, the same likelihood of a Unlimited Infinity occurs, with this infinity no matter how infinite it might be it will alway create more Unlimited Infinites to surpass it, making it infinitely infinite. in an Unlimited Infinity it is certain that it will become an infinitely intelligent being. The answer to every question in history can be answered with this Infinity, and how would anyone be able to tell if there were inside this infinity… well they wouldn’t. Perhaps our universe is just one of these segments of code and all its rules are defined by it, it was created by another line of code and eventually its runtime will expire, and we are all just part of an infinite being which we can’t ever understand.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 " just part of an infinite being which we can’t ever understand." Yet you have discovered a way of understanding this Cosmic Muffin. Just sitting around loading a BONG and watching videos.
I have long had two thoughts about our existence. 1 Just think about how complex life is and the universe around us. 2 I do not think we or any other life in our universe was meant to have the ability to understand our existence so imo we are chasing a dream and will never wake up with the answer. We have to simply realize that we exist and make the best of it.I also feel we will not understand or see anything after death i feel we are no different than an old car or machine,we wear out and then we die. We like to hang on to life by believing there is after life and some god governing our universe but like i said we were never meant to understand it we are imo VERY small pawns in the bigger scheme.
Don’t convince yourself about the limits of understanding. As humans with limited senses and information processing speed, we’ve outsourced complex problems to computers. We can find out everything if we keep upgrading our biology or hardware. It’s like imagine the first reptilian not knowing that they lived on a planet. They upgraded their biology and look where it got us. Change is the only constant! As for the afterlife, we are but energy processing machines. When we die, our energy will be released back to the environment until it enters a new biological or hardware mechanism. The curious question here is whether the energy becomes conscious when it enters a system.
@@s1iznc1d34 so you believe when we die, that’s it no more. Fair enough. I don’t believe that, I believe we live on in spirit. I’ve done a couple of past life regressions before and some very real dreams! One I had about 5 months ago, in my dream I was flying ( I always dream I’m flying! ) and I crashed to the ground and I died! In the dream it felt so real, I woke up shaking. I went to “heaven” and was greeted by an Asian lady. She was nervous as she wasn’t sure if she would be able to put my mind at ease because I remember I was so shocked that I was dead!! I was thinking how sad my family would be that I was dead. The next thing I knew I was “being born” again!!! I remember I was surrounded by people all looking at me and I remember being absolutely devastated still that my family would be sad I was dead. They “ spirit guides” told me that when I was born again I’d forget my parents names etc and when I was being born I kept repeating my parents names over and over and then I was born in America ( I’m in Ireland and Irish ) and again being shocked my new life was American and I remember thinking- hey I still remember my old parents names in my new life - this is wrong! I then woke up. After writing this I realise it’s crazy and that night, I woke up and I was so relieved I was still alive. I was sure that I died, my dream felt so real! It was the most surreal thing ever!!! Sorry for the long post!
@@s1iznc1d34 your reply was an interesting read. To think we are like sims in a virtual reality game is mind boggling.

It annoys me that scientists enjoy taking credit for explaining the physical universe, but don't enjoy giving credit to the one who created it.
When supporting the "something from nothing" theory it is observed that particles can pop into and out of "existence". However, much like the rabbit in a magician's hat just because you don't know where a particle came from or where it went to doesn't mean that it goes nowhere or ceases to exist.
Facts !!!!!!!!
The only fact is humans will never know.Its as simple as that.
@@thecryptohacker9976 Very true.
yes but that other place also had to come into existance somehow
right energy cant be destroyed nor created just converted into another form of energy like when you get shocked that energy doesnt go away you hear a sound or see light from the shock that energy was always there it just had to build up for you to see it
I have become obsessed with this series I listen to it while I'm working turns my boring mundane job into a time of excitement and enlightenment.

Same tactic to kill boredom 🥂
My dad is a scientist and I grew up hearing these words but never really understood them. I love this show and can call him when I have questions. You explain things so well and open up a new conversation with my dad. 💜
Same. My dad studied Physics at Cambridge university about 50 years ago. After watching videos on atomic bombs the other week, I asked him how it was possible to isolate a single uranium/plutonium electron for the firing at high speed into the uraium/plutonium core to trigger the nuclear reaction which causes the explosion. He was explaining it to me, but kind of lost me during it, and I didn't properly find out the answer, but I think he knows how to do it. He is clever. Ask your dad the same question and see what he says about it.
@@PEGGLORE Yes I will ask him. (he loves my interest in this). I understand now why he was always thinking! lol
@ST3F1N YNG are you asking how much money someone makes as a scientist? It varies, of course, but they don't earn nearly as much as certain religious people who chronically lie about science. They're typically the ones who make the big bucks 👍
I'm going to be this parent.
I've been puzzling over the conundrums of nothing, infinity, eternity since I was very young. I was in my bed trying to imagine when I was 8 and actually started to cry because it was so mind- boggling. Of course I don't cry now but it is the unfathomable mystery to me.
To be an animal on this planet listening to a series on how it all came to be is so mind boggling and so incredible and it only took 4.4 billion years of earthtime to have a species of animal that could produce this wonderful series of videos so I can contemplate it all. Its absolutely absurd!
There's no evidence of earth being that old.
It's mind blowing to me how perfect everything is for us to even be able to exist, be conscious.. the more I try to wrap my head around it the more it points to a god. Some higher power.. or a simulation.

Sorry if this isn't a complement but I love falling asleep to your videos. It's the perfect amount of interest and calmness. The music and your voice is soothing, but the way you present the science (and history) is engaging and easily understandable. The story telling is one of my favorite parts. You aren't just explaining concepts, you're telling the history of how we discovered this science.
I'll be honest here, I really don't understand the majority of what's discussed in these videos. Not the fault of the narrator or script. I think it's to do with my learning difficulties. However, even though I don't understand it, I find it endlessly fascinating! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these amazing videos!
Adhd person here with possibly other learning disabilities, I agree I often don't really know what they're explaining in videos like this but everything about space just fascinates me so much that I can't stop watching more.

Can I just take a moment to thank you for making a documentary genuinely intended to inform and not to awe or bamboozle. We need more content with this high quality ethos online. Two thumbs up. Magnificent job.👍🏿👍🏿
Even Gods got parents. Most likely an absentee dad and a mother with substance abuse issues, judging by how humans turned out and our own histories. The man kicked his own children out. Poor Eve had no female role model growing up, so what does she do? Runs around half naked taking candy from strangers. And Adam was so desperate for her that he went along with all her bad ideas, excusing and rationalizing it all along the way. His own sister. And because they are a pro life family, she was forced to give birth to the world's first baby born of incest.
I couldn't agree more. Too many science channels spewing the same sensational ideas, it's difficult for layman enthusiasts to find compelling, interesting information.
@@masturbates
Many scientists and "follow the science" physicians think they are scientists simply because the parrot what other scientists are saying.
So much this. I'm a physics major, but not specialized in astrophysics or particle physics, but I follow both with interest.
This means I have some basis on which to judge the channel's quality, but still learn things. And it is absolutely top notch, explaining complex concepts far better than I could, sticking mostly to well-established science, but including reasonable speculation, labeled as such. Bravo indeed.
No, you can't. What do you think the thumbs up button stands for? Always annoys me, to read through heaps of ass kissing comments. Do you think others want to read your worshiping?

How this channel doesn’t have a million subs yet is beyond me. Such high quality content.
From the subjects, to explanations, to visuals, to tempo, to music. Everything together works so well.
I have tried to "like" this video now for the 3rd time unsucessfully. Perhaps, it makes some algorithms unhappy. Maybe, the bible/creation-stuff in the first minute was a bad idea...
youtube prefers channels with more frequent upload than those that take longer time to upload. My guess is within a week time. Anytime longer than that, youtube will not recommend that much
this is why you see those channels with low quality videos but high frequency get propped up pretty often. I rmb back then, I used to get a lot of recommendation from vsauce, but none at all
It's just a new channel. Subs take time.
It annoys me that scientists enjoy taking credit for explaining the physical universe, but don't like to give credit to the one who created it.

This is the best made content I’ve ever seen for quantum physics. The clarity of the narrative and quality of the information is incredible. Thank you for such a delightful presentation.
The sheer beauty of the words describing the mysteries of our universe in the scripts of your videos make me feel an indescribable warmth. I can feel that your videos come from the heart, a curious love to talk about things that we humans will never fully understand. Thank you. ❤️
My thoughts too, beautifully expressed. The writing evokes a generous twinkling eye suggesting 'not to worry, we can't believe we're saying this either'.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth is far more beautiful imo.
This channel always has some of the highest quality videos on RUclips
There is no such thing as "NOTHING". "NOTHING" IS "SOMETHING".
Honestly, content like this should shame The Discovery Channel executives enough to shut the channel down.
Agreed. Very high quality content in the didactic sense. My only complaint is the use of so much fluffy visual filler that doesn't really represent the underlying concepts. Pretty but unilluminating and perhaps even a little misleading. Still and all, I'm hooked on this channel.

Try not to be suckered in by these videos! Some of what the narrator says is based on factuality,, but some it is spurious boasting! Fact! What's most important is NOT the when or where........ but rather ..... the how and the who!!! Everything made of matter EVERYTHING.... was intentionally created!!! Who could possibly create matter?!?! Man CAN NOT make matter!!! Therefore, the importance of life and the laws of physics trumps everything!!!
Here on RUclips is a video of the "Issus Leaf Hopper",, and biologists and entomologists studied this insect and discovered that it has ~two gears~ on it's hind legs!!! Actual gears!!! If you check out the video, you'll see for yourself!!! Why is it very very important?? Because man has NEVER seen any engineering made by man in nature!!!
There is ONLY one explanation for the existence of ~engineered gears ~ there MUST be an ""engineer mind"" that intentionally designed those actual gears! Albert Einstein already knew that God existed! He said, "I believe in God because I see him,,,, in the details in life"!!! Why would Einstein say that?? Because when he saw engineering in the human body, and in birds for instance, that are perfectly designed for flawless flight(s)!!! I'm with Einstein when it comes to there being a "Master Engineer"!!! Try to watch that video on the leaf hopper!!!! Cheers!!!!

Because causality has a speed limit every point in space sees itself as the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles. When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment. The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is predictable because it takes place in the predictable past and the probabilistic wave properties of particles takes place in the probabilistic future.

@@ManiBalajiC LMAO. Imagine having this kind of ignorant hubris. Humans can exist for 100 million years, and will never come close to grasping even the most fundamental basics. We will continue to try though, and therein lies the fun.
@@Laotzu.Goldbug pardon me, what do you mean that "humans can exist for 100 million years and we will never even come close to grasping the most fundamental basics?" What basics are you talking about that we will never come close to understanding? Does E equal MC squared and or the knowledge of the fundamental speed of life not constitute any sort of basic fundamental? Go to any library, especially a college one, look at the great amount of material that one can read and ponder upon for more than a lifetime. Or, just go to the Internet and read! I must say that I remember being on the Internet in the very late 1980s and early 1990s when you could go on the Internet and within 20 minutes, you could look at and read every new webpage created in less than half an hour. I would know that because I used to do that! Today that's an impossibility. You're gonna tell me that with all the knowledge that we have that we don't seem to have the basics down? We have general relativity and specific relativity. We have the fundamentals. Without understanding the basics how could we have satellites up in the air beaming down information to each and every one of us on the planet so that we can communicate in the way that we do? Just because we don't have it all pinpointed down to the exact time prior to 1×10 to the -43 of a second, the time at which our understanding of physics breaks down, and because there are many things in the universe that we do not know what they are and how they work, should not diminish from all the areas that we have come to learn about ourselves, our planet, and the universe that we inhabit, all from sitting on one small planet without ever even being able to leave our solar system, nevertheless our galaxy, or the cluster of galaxies that we are part of. If one pays attention to some or a lot of the information that nature provides us as well as those who study nature how do you even ask,, the basics are not too hard to figure out overtime. It's some of the specifics that we have yet to work out. Although the question I have, which I've had for many years is, how much more do we humans really need to learn about in order for us to do what it is that we need to do most importantly in order to survive and pass or genes down, as well as all the other life on this planet, and that is, how is it that we are going to be able to live sustainably together on this planet into the future, at least until the next cosmic or earthly crisis which occurs that we have zero control over, such as a super volcanic eruption a real pandemic or, plague, or some other natural event which we will have little to zero control over! Without understanding the basics, this video would never have been able to be made and produced and sent out over the Internet and through the air wave to you and I where we can debate with each other and contemplate the thoughts and ideas that we have and share with each other. Take care and stay safe
what if ironcially we know nearly everything.. butt we assume cause its only naturl too that there is so much we dont know..
and in the next 100years we realize there is actually much at all..?
example.. a person is born and knows bascially nothing .. butt lives and has no option butt to learn and see new things. and basically there is always something more to learn..
so this would then reinforce the notion that "we could never know everything.. because there is always something new to learn"
bascially that assumption requires there to be no cap to knowledge right...
so what if right now.. 2022 we actually knew like 80% of all there is to know... butt we dont know that either for obvious reasons...
like for example
we say things like every answer we get leaves us with even more questions.. which lead to more questions.. simple easy to understand . we're all on the same page here..
butt what if its we get to a point where we have tons of questions branching off into seemingly whole new discovieres etc. only to find out that all these questions end up all with one and the same answer..
so think of a tree that huge and had more and more branches as u go up it.. and in every direction butt the sky is th sealing and all branches STOP exactly at it..
or rather think of a diamo shape..
the bottom point would represent early humans and their knowledge aka basically a lack of everything.. and lets say the sides of the diamond are qautom mechanis and relativity.. now we past those two point and its na rrowing down to the other point.. BUTT we at no point on the their journey know our location on that diamond
cause the other shape right now our views reflect is a upside trigngle.. that in our eyes contiounsually gets larger and larger...
that could be infinit
or as u guess .. we hit the "base" on the other end.. aka ltierally nothing new to be learnt.
butt again we cant know that ever till we hit it if it is indeed like that..
whos to say in the next 100 years the "theory of everything" actually and literally wont figure it all out..
to say we wont and cant know everything is also just an assumption.. and thats also based litieraly on our lack of knowledge...
whos to say when u dying of old age.. another brilliant man proves a whole new theory and field.. and it has massive answers that solve and explains more then all the current theories combined...?
not saying thats the case butt its literally plausible that we actually might evetnuall "know " everything.. it could be far far far off.. or just around the corner butt we cant know that cause we dont know where we are in terms of what we dont know yet if that makes sense.. lol

This channel is growing to be one of my all-time favorites
I absolutely love the channel. I dont know why it's only in the last week the RUclips algorithm recommend it to me . I watch content like this all the time. Its perfect animation with perfect narration in a perfect time format. RUclips isn't being fair to you somehow. You should have way more subs, these are better than PBS space time and they're content is pretty good.
Incredibly well written and narrated, this is a rare find for someone like myself. I thank the creators for this.
This is a very, very good channel. I thought I could listen to this and fall asleep but instead found myself fascinated by how well every piece of information is put together. Finished watching a few videos fully awake, gonna watch them all later.
Thank you!

The whole work and channel is amazing, but this one tops it. I remind reading the books by Paul Davies, and back then nobody had produced such beautiful imagery. Thank you so much for that! And I'd add that regardless of the option that may be "the answer" to the Universe/Multiverse, out of those presented at the ending, any one of them is enough, because finding "Truth" and "our place" in the great scheme is rewarding in itself. Thanks once again for making this so beautifully illustrated. :)

Incredible, the amount of quality you are able to produce so quickly.
In my early life, I wanted to pursue a career in astronomy, but my science professors ALL told me I'd have to earn a PhD in astronomy to even qualify as a relief dome polisher, as it was a closed field, In the 50's, who could have foreseen the Hubble, or even landing on the moon?

Amazing how a complex field of science has been explained in such a captivating way.The search for explanation of our existence is both frustrating and exciting, perhaps it's in human nature to keep enquiring and may be we will have a better understanding of our existence.
This channel is an exemplary example of one of my favorite things about youtube documentaries: they don't have nearly the same "appeal to the masses" pressure from above that forces so many tv documentaries to simplify things to the "lies for children" level
It’s so nice not hearing basic dumbed down stuff and actually things that make you question everything
You did a much better job of explaining the strong nuclear force than my college professors
These are the types of videos I like to watch at night and rethink my life choices. And even tho I don't get like half of the things that were said in this video i still watched it whole. Also I laughed way to hard at the song used at 31:27.
In a dream you can process weeks. Months, years, of information in an instant. It would make sense that this entire thing could be a random fluctuation. I’d buy that
I am beginning to grasp quantum physics a bit better the more videos on the topic I view. This channel's videos are among the best I've watched.

Very well presented. Cutting through to the nuts and bolts of the discussion in a very considered way... just right from a temporal perspective. Well articulated, not too glitsy as to lose credibility or too dry as to lose your audience. Brilliant!
To explain it in the simplest way possible.When your tv is off we have nothing.When it is on we see the entire universe.What is hidden are the inner mechanics at work.
I just wanted to say i have watched all your videos, and you're just incredibly amazing.
I believe its simple your passion so well translated in your videos by your expert craft, that distinguishes you from everything else on youtube.

I love listening to this while meditating or right before bed. So soothing.
@Cameltoe Junkie what? How are you going to decide whether or not I get value from this video? I enjoy it in a different way.
@@pwesiti you're not alone in listening to this when you do, I tend to watch the channel before bed and if I miss any of it, I come back to it the next night. It is particularly soothing, and sometimes a gift in reminding me how little matters if I've had a rough day or something. The other gift is the constant mystery, in which my ears are always up for information, accepting that many answers will not likely be known in my lifetime, but there will be many afterwards still searching.
I don't believe we would ever be able to experience nothingness. When I went to the dentist for my wisdom teeth removal, it seemed as if though that I had traveled through time. But of course it was the anesthesia and not some kind of dentist time machine. I think that is the closest experience I have had to nothingness. I am left to say that it makes sense that not only did I not experience anything in between the time that I was given the anesthesia and when it wore off, time was also something I hadn't experienced. If some form of consciousness were to exist after death, I believe that we wouldn't even experience nothingness then. It would just be the end of one consciousness and the start of another, no matter the time or form that came before.
We experience nothingness by thinking about the time before we were born. We never cared about anything because we never existed yet. Nothingness isn't light, dark, or gray, it is the absence of those things.
@@M3Toasty that's completely wrong there isn't a such thing is absolute nothingness it's actually oxymoronic the concept of nothing is actually something
We’re experiencing infinity forever and in order to have a physical finite reality we must have a non physical infinite reality in between the two we have the quark we call”now”. Unification only occurs in that passage of death to life, life to death. Or at least my guess can be called a theory if I can get my lab coat crisp and white enough.
Maybe we just can't experience the before or after life because we aren't there right now. Like imagine your life is a tapestry and youre cruising along the thread that weaves it, you can't see the complete picture while you're making it but when you look at it from the outside its clear what's going on
ive always looked at a total nothing of what we remember before birth. even if you remember the womb you cant remember before that. kinda like total nothingness will only ever exist at the end and beginning of things. but for something to be born from nothing is hard to belive
I’ll watch this later. I have contemplated this deeply for over a decade. Nice to know others are thinking the same things in awe and wonder…
I learn more from this series of videos than I ever have anywhere else! And I thoroughly enjoy every second of it!

The issue with particles popping in and out from nothing / nowhere is the fact that they are doing so within an existing universe. We simply doesn’t understand the mechanisms behind that phenomenon.
So it doesn’t really compute to compare an entire universe bursting into existence from “nothing”.
Mind-boggling
My gosh was this thing narrated well. And the language was downright poetic. Thank you so much! I’ve listened now several times.
You are doing amazing work with this channel and this video was no exception. Rarely can a RUclips video hold my attention for 41 minutes straight without losing me but this was absolutely captivating.

Amazing content and commentary! Absolutely love it. Just wish there was more. I’ve watched every episode five or six times now.
Didn't even make it half way through my first video of yours and I already subscribed. Amazing content. Almost forgot I was on RUclips. You need a tv series
I'm lost. Well explained as this may be, I can't wrap my head around the causality of things that are nowhere or everywhere at once. But the storytelling is superb.
Yea it’s pretty crazy but the universe is under no obligation to make sense to us, we can only interpret information through our 3D minds. Maybe we learn more in our next form.
I mean something came from nothing is enough for me to drink.
It’s all explained in God’s Word. Well…all that we are to currently understand.
One day, all things will be revealed. 😌
Yea, I doubt I'll ever be clever enough to really make any sense of these things. It is fun to explore though.
Then u haven’t experienced ego loss, imagine getting your humanity stripped down till you feel like your nothing, at that moment though u feel like u can everything and everyone
Wow. I’m glad this video popped up in my recommended feed. I grew up studying physics and astronomy as a kid and wanted to go into that field til I got intimidated too much by the math. I also could never fully understand quantum physics and mechanics as well as I do classical physics. I haven’t studied the astrophysics field in a very long time, so watching this video was very refreshing.
That's funny. I was quite into mathematics as a child, but Newton's first law kept me living in my parent's house
You can study the math. It's tricky yes but, you can nail it. Take an online course and challenge yourself.
@@chriskelly6574 : Very true. I’ve thought about that, especially since these days from 2020 have become the times to challenge ourselves. It’d take me more than one math class to approach basic calculus and trig because I haven’t had to use anything beyond basic middle school algebra for a very long time. I’ve forgotten that much.
@@spacelinx Mastering algebra and trig is a great start. It was for me.. I'm in a similar place. Washed out of an engineering program and didn't become a famous guitar guy and ended up spending 25 years in the cab of a truck. I hang on to dwindling math skills and watch these videos with awe and envy. Look at what people can do with the game of life; mind blown. Ya, damn right I want to study the expansion of space. I bet you will just eat it up. The want to understand this or that will fuel the need to master that and those I recon. But(!), god god man don't do it! Don't do it unless the not doing it drives you to murder or suicide. That's a quote I heard. It just means there is a lot of work in those dreams so be ready. That 'BRILLIANT' place looks like a good place to pick up math skills. Good luck, live an excellent life. Stay in touch if you want, we can egg each other along. ttfn
For all the math, there is an element of intuition in physics. It's not really the same as pure mathematics.
Finally someone asked the question I’ve been asking for years. How does something come from nothing. This video is the best attempt to confront this paradox
. Although it had no final solution, I learned a lot about the functioning universe.
We should have asked where the space comes from? Imagine what would happen without it.
Well you saying nothing is just the human perspective of that, we are truly just results of this physics explained in the video, and by natural selection are meant to simply exist. You were not meant to understand nothingness, however it’s just a product of natural forces, and at a human scale, a product of you trying to stay alive. The connection between those truths, and the ideas explained here is where human thought begins to break down, our scope simply is not wide enough.
My simple take is it's like a dreamless sleep and then waking up. Nothing to something.
@BenJIII I'm sorry but your human thought seems to understand something that the rest of us don't. It's better to say "I believe" rather than state it as factual. I believe in God. Despite many physical and non physical moments I can't prove it. So I say " I believe"
Read the Quran and you ll get your answer easily inchaallah.
This is such a brilliant video. Would love to have seen a few equations, but I guess that's what PBS Spacetime and ParthG are for. I've watched all your videos. They're superbly explained and the narration is better than any BBC Horizon I've ever seen. Great stuff. Keep up the good work fella.
What does it feel like to have a revelation that you realize is gonna change everything. Like Einstein general relativity or Newtons creating an advanced calculus so he could explain his discoveries.

I'm just a layman ! I can't even imagine how smart the pioneers of quantum physics were, to come up with these theories! Now that these theories are long established, I still don't understand them yet these geniuses came up with them out of the blue!
I'm a layman too. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can not possibly understand deep real stuff without embarking on a ~10-year advanced mathematics training course. A scientist who cannot explain to a layperson doesn't really understand the stuff properly themselves. In fact, I think Einstein (?) said something to that effect? Or maybe it was Heisenberg?
Science's greatest flaw is its practitioners ha ha. But the early quantum physicists kinda ruled, they exuded geek-cool. 😎🤓
Funnily enough, I often watch your videos when I need inspiration for my worldbuilding. It seems applicable, even if the concepts aren't one-for-one. I think understanding how our world came to be helps me figure out how the world my character occupy came to be. The more you learn about the world around you the more you understand how we created myths to make sense of it all.
So happy to have you back.
Might be that the Universe is not even solvable from any point, scale or time within itself. Might be it is a process trying to solve itself in the fullness of time and we are just trapped inside it. From early myths through theology to modern science we might just cycle through more refined ways of enjoying the ride.
This channel, with its amazing contributors is certainly expressing that joy.
What does "process trying to solve itself" mean? Remember there is no sentience involved here at the origin.
this is such a tough one - all concepts relying primarily on quantum mechanics usually are. really well done as always.
Does anyone feel like me that the reading voice is very soothing and it makes me fall asleep very quickly even though there are many new things I need to hear and learn?
OK, I've finished watching now, AND WHAT A FANTASTIC PIECE THIS IS, Geraint!
Absolutely first class. To put this altogether in a video lasting less than an hour, and to give clear meaning to the many baffling questions we find ourselves asking, is a tremendous achievement.
I have a working understanding of the topic(s) but rarely does one find such an astonishingly thorough presentation, of most (if not all) of the whole complication, in one clearly defined space and time: the extended moment it took me to view this marvellous agglomeration of stuff just within and just beyond our present grasp of reality. And furthermore, I did not miss a single word!
Absolutely fantastic. Huge gratitude. Even a sense of indebtedness.
Was thinking something along the same lines but couldn't quite sum it up, then I saw your comment and I now I can just thank you for surmising what I couldn't put to words.
This is beautiful... This is something I will rewatch - as I did with all previous parts...
When I was a kid, I would try so hard to imagine what true nothing would be like.. and certain times I would reach a point of understanding what that would mean (to the extent I was capable at least) and I'll never forget how that would make me feel. Scared, curious, astounded.. I can't get there anymore. I wonder what that's about.
Think of before you where born, what did you feel then?

It's not actually nothing, it's nothingness, no consciousness, no awareness. Nothing is something, after all. If you can perceive it, if you can be aware of it then it is something. Nothingness moves into form by intention. Sound(consciousness) then light(consciousness awareness) then matter( the physical). That's all I know.

I am going by my own "near death" experiences and out of body experiences. We are resonant light beings having a human experience existing on a vibrational continuum. When I died I experienced what researchers and experiencers call "the void". I call it nothingness, where there is no awareness. That is what is constantly moving into form, or sound, which is pure consciousness(that would be like something from nothing which is not accurate since there is no such thing as nothing, as I stated before, if you can observe it then it is something). Sound lowers to light and light lowers to physical matter, which is this universe and our physical bodies. Everything in the universe is made of energy. You are a conscious being, yes? Well, what is the source of your consciousness, what is consciousness? It is all that was, is and ever will be. Everything is one, we are all one. We, as beings, came into form by virtue of a vibration. We are different expressions of the same creator. There are multiple layers and dimensions to our being and I still have many questions. I realize everyone is on there own journey and will make what they will of this life which is the greatest gift of all. Be well and have a wonderful journey, friend.

Dude, I appreciate that you want to dive deep and all, but you are sounding ridiculous. I know that I died because the medical team, the doctors and every living being that was near me told me of how I flat-lined and was resuscitated back to life. And they told me of the conversation I had with Elvis Presley which I have no recollection. I know you want to speculate what I experienced, you shouldn't. You should understand that what is on the other side of the veil is indescribable from this human perspective and words.
All is consciousness. Nevermind the matrix lol, it is just a physical construct. Beyond the matrix is pure consciousness. Everything is consciousness, all that was, is and ever will be.
I know as well as anyone how strange this life is, I call this dimension the mucky muck because of how heavy it is. And the Angels that visit me are on the other side of the veil. They are spirit in form, they are not physical they are a light body. You, understandably, are entirely caught up in the physical aspect of yourself. You are a resonant light being having a human experience. Let that sink in. You forgot your true nature intentionally in order to have the human experience. Have a great journey.

This exceptionally well done video was a joy to watch and contemplate. Oddly enough, one of the greatest breakthroughs I ever had in wrapping my head around such mysterious particle reactions and entangled interactions was when I heard this 13 year old kid named Logan call into a radio show in tears. He said he wanted to share something God told him. The host was very kind but very taken off guard and said. um...okay?
Logan explained that the night before his Dad was roping his favorite calf that he loved most. It was born from a very old cow and always needed a little extra help. Logan explained she broke her back, and he had just come in from putting her down himself. He said the first thing he did was ask God why? Why did you take her from me, she was special. And then he said God told him that His son was special to Him too, but that he died for a purpose. I heard this and can't explain the interacting effect it had on me. I began to tremble and my eyes welled up involuntarily. I'm a blue collar working guy that works long hours. I'm no softie, and I'm certainly no religious zealot. I was left in total awe not just of this young man's inner goodness, but of how sound waves containing language data from a bundle of atoms very far away could physically affect me and every atom of me so profoundly from a distance.
Ahh perfect algorithm of youtube to recommend me this video before sleep. Gn everyone
Interestingly in long days of existential crysis I also came to an idea, that if you add everything that makes up our universe you will end up with zero. In mathematics you can write 0= 1-1, or you can write 0= 2/4+(-1)+cos(pi)+1.5 etc.
And the universe may be just a complicated expression of zero. And since it is always zero, it has no beginning and no end.
Cool thought, but it doesn't help answer "what happened before the big bang?"
@@Mqxwell Not really. If everything = 0. Then what existed before the Big Bang = 0.
= essentially means 'just is' , still doesn't answer why. Asking why makes ask much sense as asking why is one thing only one thing, or why 2=2. Nothing wrong with asking though.
Zero is an arbitrary starting point and convenient for numbers. Zero is something. But to relate numbers to reality would really be to start with 1 and go in both directions,+1-
This is actually pretty smart thinking. Think about it. All the known energy in the universe is a perfect balance of positive and negative energy. Being a perfect balance of equal but opposite forces the two would neutralize each other amounting to absolute zero.
In fact, it's the only way an infinite universe could exist. Infinity would have to, by its very nature, equate to a totality. Meaning, it could never experience anything NEW and thus EVERYTHING from the perspective of infinity must be at a complete stillness. And complete stillness equates to nothingness; a void (our understanding of death; the opposite of that which is active, alive).
But, nothing can exist in a void...Including a void. And thus awareness (positive energy/matter) and NON awareness (negative energy /gravity/void/ death) exist simultaneously and harmoniously.
IMHO the wave symbol is the most simplified and poetic equation that Literally explains the entire universe.
I'd follow that hunch If I were you. Just my thoughts...
Thank you for the amazing content!
Wonderful awe inspiring story, how true the saying that 'Out there is a Universe, it's not friendly, it's not hostile. it's indifferent' look to the sky my friends and feel humbled.
I think I have a decent understanding of the points you made after the third viewing. Excellent work 👊🏻
The problem is that we can only explain things based on our limited understanding. Anything beyond that is guessing. In fact there are lots of things we don't even understand very well, like time, etc.
There is a BIG difference between formulating an hypothesis based on existing information, and guessing.
"The universe was adapted from the beginning to give rise to life and intelligence." I read this quote some 44 years ago in the Readers Digest.
And I think it spoke of that intelligence as able to look at the universe and contemplate it. Seems as though....what good is this wondrous creation without intelligence to enjoy the view, and everything else that entails. And I suppose we know where that is going to take us.
It takes a rational person to _Who_ "adapted" the Universe? The answer is obvious to those who aren't blinded by their own egos.
@@BeReal918 you're the only one with an ego, thinking you must be right
In my humble opinion, something from nothing defies logic, even considering the strangeness of quantum physics. The birth of the universe could very well be quantum in nature, but still come from something (a parallel dimension or some version of "Brane" theory). Things like virtual particles and dark matter might actually exist and/or spend most of their time in a parallel dimension or dimensions... dimension/s that are invisible in most ways (but not all). With the possibility of dark matter in a parallel dimension, it could be that only gravity from the dark matter is able to leak across to our dimension. Michio Kaku talked about this during an interview.
I tend to agree. It's the same as expecting order out of chaos. Interestingly I find that materialists want it both ways. For instance, that the Big Bang which is a calamitous and chaotic event has no bearing on the the order and rotation of planets, or the way the universe is formed. Only that the " Big bang ", is the " Kickstart " to the Universe. Even though that makes Zero sense.
They can accept order out of chaos when that can't be observed Anywhere In nature. Only can chaos come from order, when a system degenerates and breaks down. Just as you can't expect something from nothing. It's a blind spot for them but they don't seem to care or think much of it.
Creating something from nothing is testable and know to be a act to this present day. Check out he Casimir effect and from that other Quantum fluctuations in the void whereby particles appear and disappear in fractions of second out of nowhere.
Not ever being capable of knowing the exact nature of pure nothing is the huge problem. Could it have been such an unstable state to cause it to explode? How would that work without nothing to explode? It would have to be something like an "emotion" brought about by too much nothing. That we actually know nothing about pure nothing, it in itself can only be classified as another of many probabilities.
@@StephenBlower You mentioned that "creating something from nothing is testable", but who's testing, and who's creating? Therein is the point, none of these things just happen. Just as they've never been able to replicate a single cell. This goes to the crux of the problem. Something from nothing is a human concept because it takes an agent to conceive of something from nothing.
@@adamburling9551 order and chaos is a human made idea. There is no such thing.
Interesting fact about Heligoland. The postcard you show is from the last decade of the 19th century. In it you can see the stark separation of the Unterland, the land near sea level and the Oberland, the plateau. The island doesn't look like that anymore and now features a Mittelland. In 1947 as part of Operation Big Bang the British blew up 7400 tons of surplus ammunition and explosives left over from WWII on the island. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history up until that time. It was figured there was a possibility the entire island could be blown up but the sandstone of the island allowed the blast wave to escape. In the end the southern tip of the island was destroyed and the enormous crater made the trasition from the land at sea level to the plateau much less stark.
Very cool video. Although it doesn't really have anything to do with the title question. As physics is a description of the natural world, the question of how a universe could be born from nothing (actually nothing, that is, not anything) is not a question for physics. Physics cannot say anything about the properties of nothing. The question of a universe coming from nothing is a question of metaphysics, philosophy, and theology. To its credit, this video mentions this right before the 4th act.
Very fair points. Thanks for watching Jesse
This is part of the reason I find that theology works in parallel with science, and not either or. what I find most interesting is the similarity between a infinity and theological and philosophical concepts of it.
If you were to have a infinite sheet of paper, and on that sheet of paper where an infinite amount of ‘1’s and ‘0’s, if your were cut a hole in that sheet that’s the size of standard copying paper you would simply get a sheet of paper of that size with a bunch of useless code, that is Limited Infinity.
if you were to build an infinitely powerful computer of infinite size and complexity and you were to plug in all of the code then you would have a Unlimited Infinity.
If you were to separate that code at an infinite amount of segments and each with between 1-infinite amount of lines and code included in each segment and to have a single computer screen for every segment, than you would have a infinite line of screens that would show all possible things that exists, or don’t exist, everything that you could think of and far beyond that would be portrayed on theses screens an infinite amount of times. it is certain that such an Infinity would make an Infinite amount of copies of itself all able to do the exact same as the original, since there’s an infinite number of computers there’s no way to determine if one is the original, it is infinitely unlikely that one is the original. Even if there were no screens connected to the computer, the same likelihood of a Unlimited Infinity occurs, with this infinity no matter how infinite it might be it will alway create more Unlimited Infinites to surpass it, making it infinitely infinite. in an Unlimited Infinity it is certain that it will become an infinitely intelligent being. The answer to every question in history can be answered with this Infinity, and how would anyone be able to tell if there were inside this infinity… well they wouldn’t.
Perhaps our universe is just one of these segments of code and all its rules are defined by it, it was created by another line of code and eventually its runtime will expire, and we are all just part of an infinite being which we can’t ever understand.
Philosophy has played hand in hand with physics for as long as both have been studied. Philosophy plays into ideas of physics.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 " just part of an infinite being which we can’t ever understand." Yet you have discovered a way of understanding this Cosmic Muffin. Just sitting around loading a BONG and watching videos.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Infinite being a designer creator or just an entity?
when you think really deeply into the universe it can get really scary sometimes.
In reality there is no such thing as a beginning to anything we as humans only see things having a beginning
I have long had two thoughts about our existence.
1 Just think about how complex life is and the universe around us.
2 I do not think we or any other life in our universe was meant to have the ability to understand our existence so imo we are chasing a dream and will never wake up with the answer.
We have to simply realize that we exist and make the best of it.I also feel we will not understand or see anything after death i feel we are no different than an old car or machine,we wear out and then we die.
We like to hang on to life by believing there is after life and some god governing our universe but like i said we were never meant to understand it we are imo VERY small pawns in the bigger scheme.
We were never meant to understand it. But we were meant to believe it.
Don’t convince yourself about the limits of understanding. As humans with limited senses and information processing speed, we’ve outsourced complex problems to computers. We can find out everything if we keep upgrading our biology or hardware. It’s like imagine the first reptilian not knowing that they lived on a planet. They upgraded their biology and look where it got us. Change is the only constant!
As for the afterlife, we are but energy processing machines. When we die, our energy will be released back to the environment until it enters a new biological or hardware mechanism. The curious question here is whether the energy becomes conscious when it enters a system.
Well essentially we are all energy and you can’t destroy energy.
@@s1iznc1d34 so you believe when we die, that’s it no more. Fair enough. I don’t believe that, I believe we live on in spirit. I’ve done a couple of past life regressions before and some very real dreams! One I had about 5 months ago, in my dream I was flying ( I always dream I’m flying! ) and I crashed to the ground and I died! In the dream it felt so real, I woke up shaking. I went to “heaven” and was greeted by an Asian lady. She was nervous as she wasn’t sure if she would be able to put my mind at ease because I remember I was so shocked that I was dead!! I was thinking how sad my family would be that I was dead. The next thing I knew I was “being born” again!!! I remember I was surrounded by people all looking at me and I remember being absolutely devastated still that my family would be sad I was dead. They “ spirit guides” told me that when I was born again I’d forget my parents names etc and when I was being born I kept repeating my parents names over and over and then I was born in America ( I’m in Ireland and Irish ) and again being shocked my new life was American and I remember thinking- hey I still remember my old parents names in my new life - this is wrong! I then woke up. After writing this I realise it’s crazy and that night, I woke up and I was so relieved I was still alive. I was sure that I died, my dream felt so real! It was the most surreal thing ever!!! Sorry for the long post!
@@s1iznc1d34 your reply was an interesting read. To think we are like sims in a virtual reality game is mind boggling. But I love listening to what we could be etc. I must watch the matrix movie that came out years ago with keanu reeves, I’ve never seen it. Thanks for your reply, lots of stuff to ponder on 😊
