    Tony Darnell has written and produced a beautiful, cosmic documentary. And it would have been so much better. If Tony, wasn't as close to his, cheap, Taiwanese, cardioid, condenser microphone. And if he had engaged the low-cut, filter. On the microphone. If it had one? On the mixer. Or in the software. In postproduction. And some proper, dynamic range limiting. Ya know. Like, 12 or, 20, to 1. Slamming about 10 DB of, gain reduction. And then some gentle downward expansion. To take any background noise or room tone that ain't so great, out.
    Ya see Tony. You're not really the after midnight DJ here. Ya made it sound like college radio. You write and produce so well. But ya don't have to listen to me. I'm just a retired nobody. That did, major national commercials and coast-to-coast major news events. For over 20 years. And ya have to make things sound a certain way. If you really want to be taken seriously? That's a well read narration track. That is not a well presented narration track. Ya kind of have to be an audio engineer. To get that right. And I might imagine? Your next documentary will sound absolutely fabulous?

      You look at that in the wrong way,you are crying that you are not experiencing the universe when in truth you are experiencing a very special part of it,you are alive,something that is incredibly rare in the universe,not only that you are also an intelligent life form,a human with the abillity to think,imagine and wonder.intelligent life are extreamly rare in the universe,I bet that if you will be in all life supporting planets you will see that almost all life are not intelligent.Not only you are experiencing the universe,you are infact the universe,the atoms you are made of can be traced back to the big bang,an expension from a singualrty that created our universe,and you will have impact on the universe,everything you do is and always will happen in the spacetime continuum and after you will die,well I don't know tbh,I am an atheist but I don't know if our conciousness is retained after our biological body dies,it might,it might not,its still doesn't important because you are the way of the universe of experiencing one its most facsinating parts and you should be thankfull for that.

    I believe the title should say "The Largest KNOWN Galaxy in the Universe." Imagine this we view them in just a patch of sky and in that patch of sky we can observe thousands upon thousands of galaxies. Now with technology developing, we will be able to observe even more galaxies at a much larger scale. I can't wait to see what scientist will discover in a few years.

      For all we know, astrophysicists in a decade could declare that a previously observed cluster of galaxies is actually a single enormous galaxy, and THAT galaxy is actually the largest. We could look further into deep space (I'm not sure why you think we've reached the limit of observability; even the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image can be improved, and that's a VERY small slice of the sky) in practically any direction and find a bigger galaxy. We could change the very definition of "galaxy" in the coming decades to change how we think of this altogether, much like Pluto was once a planet.
      Do you see now why it's a bad bet to make a claim as strong as "This is the largest galaxy in the observable universe" and expect it to be the final word on the matter?

    • @jaytomson3492
      @jaytomson3492 8 лет назад +5

      +iamihop Didn't they discover a particle that's faster than the speed of light, at CERN, a couple of years ago? I'm unsure if it has been proven or not. Nevertheless I'm fairly certain that with enough technological advancements we will one day be traveling faster than the speed of light, if we haven't commited planetary suicide that is. However like you've pointed it out we'll probably find a clever way of circumventing the speed of light first.
      You also have Quantum Physics and with it Quantum Entanglement. QE a process in which information travels instantaneously. With enough technological advances we could manipulate this to eventually look past our observable universe & instantaneously receive the information.
      On the note of Physical Law. It doesn't mean that these laws are mathematically correct. For all we know in a few decades we might entirely dismiss certain laws as false. Theories are still theories until proven as facts.
      Also, isn't it entirely possible that one of these massive galaxies might block the view of an even bigger galaxy. We have barely observed a fraction of galaxies in our observable universe.

    • @AbusiveRogue
      @AbusiveRogue 8 лет назад +3

      +iamihop While I like what you're trying to say, I like what Simon is saying a bit more. The truth is that... Based on the information we CURRENTLY have, we BELIEVE that the universe is 13.5-7 billion light years old. The truth is, that's what we know based on the technology that we have now. And while I don't argue the importance of the speed of light and its impact on our ability to see things, I also don't doubt the ability of new technology to show us that the universe isn't ACTUALLY 13.5-7 billion years old, it stretches far beyond that number, we were simply unable to see that before. Anyways, the idea is simple, just because we currently consider the the age of the universe as fact, doesn't mean that we won't prove ourselves wrong, come the future :).

    "The largest Galaxy we've ever seen" is not the same as the largest that exists in the known universe. We can't possibly know what is the largest because some of them are so far away they barely register as tiny specks to the most powerful telescopes.

    • @deepastronomy
      @deepastronomy  8 лет назад +22

      Thanks to Hubble, we do know a lot about those farthest (hence earliest) galaxies in the universe. Most of them are small, irregular and full of young, bright stars. Nowhere near the size of the later ellipticals. So even though we haven't seen many of those galaxies directly, the ones we have seen has taught us much. We may one day find a galaxy larger than IC 1101, but the point of this video was to teach you about just how big they can get. Thanks for watching!

    • @sweetsweatyfeet
      @sweetsweatyfeet 8 лет назад +2

      Deep Astronomy Um no… I'm talking about galaxies only recently and barely discovered on the fringe of the universe that show up as the tiniest specks. Billions of them newly discovered by the advanced optics of the latest space scopes. These galaxies are much too far away to discern their size. There might well be some on the fringes of visibility that dwarf IC 1101.

    So, if we look at a really large galaxy. Its part closest to us would be thousands of light years closer than the farthest parts of that galaxy. Meaning that, on a picture, the farthest part would be where they were thousands of years before the "front" parts. That basically means that we're not seeing these things as they are, but rather skewed in time. Which is kinda trippy. :D

      It's very likely it's very advanced compared to civilizations in our galaxy simply due to the large number of galaxies it would have merged with and the probable interaction of advanced species from various absorbed galaxies, assuming they have found a way to travel faster than the speed of light.

      The two closest stars to us (that are very far away) have G2 class star systems just like our sun.
      Our galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter! There are about 300 billion stars in the galaxy with even more planets. There is an incredible amount of space to check out.
      The closest galaxy is 2.2 million light years away!
      Galaxies come in large clusters, and then super clusters with massive distances in between them.
      Space is freaking big!!! lol
      I think it would be necessary to travel instantaneously if you'd want to discover the universe. It's too big!
      4 light years to travel to the closest star!

    hahahaha He said that IC 1101 is a billion light years away and it is dying a slow death. hahahaha if it is a billion light years away then it will still appear in the night sky to us up to 1 billion years after it dies. So the "slow death" may have already run its course and it may already be dead.

    • @evilcam
      @evilcam 8 лет назад +19

      +De Selby No, it is definitely still there. Most of the stars in it, are thought to be Red Dwarves. We are not quite sure how long those stars last, because we know they last longer than the current age of the universe. Some theories say they will last between 50-100 billion years, and others say they could last just longer than a trillion years. So most of those stars will be there long after the billion years it takes for the light it emitted to reach us.
      Even after all those stars and whatever successive generations of stars might take their place all burn out, the galaxy will still be there, it just won't be emitting much light. All the remnants, white dwarves (long since cooled off) brown dwarves, tiny bit of gas, dark matter, neutron stars, black holes, etc. will still be there too. None of that is going anywhere, unless the expansion of the universe accelerates much more than predicted so it could even rip eliptical galaxies apart. Though that would still be so far in the future that our brains have trouble even counting how many years that might be, as a minimum.
      The point is, the "slow death" thing is a bit of amisnomer. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, its Red Dwarves will burn out around the same time as the ones in the MilkyWay and whatever other galaxies it merged with in the interim. On those sorts of time scales, 2-3 billion years is pretty much 10 minutes ago,

      I feel just this same way. How incredibly fortunate, for example, to be alive when we can see the very first images formed by the ancient light near the biug bang itself. The Hubble UDF, the WMAP and and other images of the CMB even farther back in time. Since the very start of things that these images show us, no one on Earth has seen them. Until now, right now. Holy cow. If that doesn't put a shiver down one's spine looking at these and thinking about them, probably nothing will. A person might just as well be dead. I am ecstatic to be alive now, and I just want to live forever, or at least a very long time, to learn the answers to the questions we still don't we still understand, and the ones we cannot even ask yet!

Everyone think it's just normal to die and reincarnate here. Well, it's not, It's a trap. Our negative energy is a food source. Humans are the newest extension used in this 3rd dimension by your soul to achieve Christ Consciousness. Jesus was very aware of all of this and broke the cycle. He even incarnated on his own free will at a time due to the fact he REGAINED it. He forgave the people that hurt him because he saw that if only they knew the truth, they'd be in tears and would understand Jesus. That's a positive view point and the only one Jesus used. He knew not to go to the light and because of that, he returned to the Source. He couldn't be fed off of no longer.

      A weirder thing to think about is everything you see is in the "past". If you're standing a few feet away from someone, having a conversation, it takes a few picoseconds for that light to reach you (and it takes even longer for the sound to get to you). "Now" is kind of a hard thing to pin down, and has less and less meaning the more you stop to think about it. The best we can do to define a "now" or the present is to say that it's when the photons finally reach our specific reference point.
      I've been fascinated by astronomy for the better part of two decades, but man does the physics all sound like some elaborate practical joke sometimes.

    • @tonyspilotro2598

      Galaxies last for many billions of years. It could become dimmer in billions of years as its younger stars die out. Or it may merge with another galaxy and undergo a short period of star formation. Black holes do not suck matter in. They always seem to make up less than a few percent of the total mass of a galaxy, so are thought to only feed on nearby matter during merging with another galaxy.

    • @00Skyfox
      @00Skyfox 9 лет назад +17

      jagdeep sidhu "Billion light years are not equal to billion years."
      Um...yes, it is, in a way. A billion light years is the distance that takes light a billion years to travel. That means when seeing an object a billion light years away, we're actually seeing what it looked like a billion years ago (give or take, considering light from the stars on its far side took less time to get here than the light from the stars on its near side). Any creatures in that galaxy looking our direction would see the Milky Way as it appeared a billion years ago, and if they had the capability of imaging the Earth they would see it long before the Cambrian Explosion started filling the oceans with the huge diversity of life forms, even though humans are presently here looking up a them. While light years are measurements of distance rather than measurements of time, they are very closely linked with time because of the limitation of the speed of light and the incomprehensibly vast distances that light has to travel.

    • @FrankFeinstein
      @FrankFeinstein 9 лет назад +7

      ***** What you say is nearly there, but doesn't quite tell the whole story. The relationship between distance and the time it takes light to reach us is not a 1:1 relationship. This is because the very fabric of space is expanding. Thus galaxies very far away are substantially further in their distance from us than it has taken their light to travel to us. If the relationship was strictly 1:1, then the universe would have a radius the size of its age (13 billion light years) however it's true diameter is more likely in the realm of 150 billion light years. This is because when the universe expands, the very fabric of space expands with it. It's possible to have galaxies travelling away from each other faster than the speed of light because of this, in which case their secrets will be forever lost to us.
      When we see light from a galaxy which has taken 12 or 13 billion years to reach us, it's entirely possible that they are now many times further away

Religion doesn't consist of merely one sect; so it would be ignorant of someone to dismiss the plethora of other religions without recognizing them, while hailing Atheism as the supreme choice because of "some two-thousand year old book". Religion's significance is gauged by how an individual perceives it, so "myths", in an extreme context, can be interpreted as facts, or conversely, as guidelines on how to live your life morally. In my opinion, your above statement about religion is based on your "ignorance", since not all religions are based on "myths". Maybe next time you should put some effort into your research before discussing broad topics such as religious beliefs.

      If life is intelligent design, the Great Creator made a pretty crappy job of it. I'd like a stronger back, and while he's at it another heart. We have two lungs and kidneys (very sensible arrangement, as we can get by on only one of either if necessary) so why not two hearts? That would literally be a huge lifesaver.
      Evolution by natural selection tends to produce Gold Ruberg machines - patch and make do, morphing, melding and sometimes eliminating existing structures under evolutionary pressure, and this more closely corresponds to the available evidence. Many people suffer from backache and problems such as slipped disks. Second only to the common cold as a cause of lost days at work. Half the population suffers from back pain at some time during their lives. This is not surprising as a bipedal gait is a relatively recent innovation - for nearly all of our evolutionary history since our fishy ancestor emerged from the oceans we went on all fours. Our current pelvic and spinal column arrangement is not perfectly suited to function, especially in modern industrial societies - it could do with some additional butressing. Unfortunately evolution only ever works in terms of 'good enough to ensure survival up to the point of successful reproduction', and not perfection. Why would the Great Creator build such imperfections into his 'intelligent' designs?
      "I created everything, deal with it. Try disproving me."
      And I'll deal with that one by saying all you've done is make a claim "I created everything" - where's the evidence? The onus is also on you to prove your case as you are the one making the claim. I don't have to disprove anything. You've tipped head first into the Negative Proof Fallacy

      +relentlessmadman Observable by ALL means known to us, including optical and radio telescopes. We know because astronomical knowledge is virtually ALWAYS shared, to afford opportunity for independent corroboration. Are WHICH two words interchangeable and to which context are you referring? Yes, Dark matter. Its gravitational effects are observable, and therefore, known. (Assuming you know that the space between stars is occupied by hydrogen atoms, and that not ALL matter radiates light.) Did you think to ask the maker of the video as to how much of the information given is speculative? Are you as big an idiot as your comment makes you appear? Is this idiocy measurable? Are you actually human, or only a bot? If you are a bot, who is the moron who authored you? If you are human, is the space between your ears also occupied by hydrogen atoms?

    "It's over 50 times the size of our galaxy, and over 2000 times more massive."
    Wow, that's one slim galaxy. By cubing the size it would have to be 125000 times the Milky Way's mass, if it had the same mass density... And it's elliptical, it's much better space-filling than a spiral galaxy... The distances between stars in IC1101 must be very large, it would be a pretty lonely galaxy.
    (It's also one of the reasons why it's an aging galaxy with very little star formation - stuff is just too far apart for favorable star-forming conditions to form.

    • @jamieenglish1681
      @jamieenglish1681 9 лет назад +1

      ***** actually it is very conscious. We are the universe. The universe didn't happen from one point and spewed out. The big bang happened everywhere at the same time. For billions and billions of years, the universe was here and no one knew about it. More to the point, for all that time, the universe itself had no idea that it existed. But then, around 13.82 billion years after the Big Bang, and almost four billion years since life first evolved, something strange began to happen: Tiny parts of the universe became conscious, and came to know something about themselves and the universe of which they are a part. Eventually, some of these tiny parts of the universe - the parts we call ‘scientists' and ‘scientifically-informed laypeople' - came to understand the Big Bang and the evolutionary process through which they had come to exist. After an eternity of unconsciousness, the universe now had some glimmering awareness that it existed and some understanding of where it had come from. This might sound like a strange thing for a universe to do, but perhaps it's not; perhaps many possible universes would become conscious of themselves given sufficient time.

    • @jamieenglish1681
      @jamieenglish1681 9 лет назад +1

      ***** all iam getting at really is that, yes we are conscious but we are undoubtedly part of the universe, and solely because of this the universe is conscious. A few discoveries have now been made that the universe expands similar the way a network or a brain expands. Iam not a hippy spouting rubbish, everything really is connected. Every single atom in the universe vibrates at a different frequency. So much so that everytime an atom moves in space time, it directly affects atoms sometimes billions of lightyears away, in a way that makes sure that no two atoms resonate exactly the same.

If i had the option to ask one Question to an all knowing being... i guess it would just be "So.. how big is the Universe really?"

This implies that the universe as a whole is expanding. Measuring how fast this expansion is, allows us to trace it back - and it turns out that you can trace it back to about 13.7 billion years ago.

    I think the universe swallows stars and galaxies into black holes and then the black holes combine with eachother and eventually somehow it builds up and explodes all of the material it has collected up, and BOOM. another big bang, and life begins again and the cycles repeat.

    • @minimooster7258
      @minimooster7258 8 лет назад

      it doesn't work that way, though I wish it did. The fact of the matter is that black holes have immensely strong gravity, like escape velocity= more then the speed of light strong, but only very close in. It's only dangerous to orbit a black hole at 2-3 million kilometres, for solar mass black holes. To put that into perspective, Mercury, the closest planet to our Sun orbits at about 60 million kilometres. There might be some hot Jupiters close enough to be in danger but not many. The most hopeful end state for the univers is that there is some level of entropy, lower then what we though and that when a patch of matter reaches that critical level, it will trigger a chain reaction, rewriting the laws if physics, creating what we would think of as a big bang.
      On a side note, I'm more afraid that there is a God and heaven then that there isn't. If there isn't, then death is just the end, but I don't want to sign my soul up for an eternity of extra existence, even in a perfect place.

    When I watch videos like this, I can't help asking loads of questions. How did it all come to be? How and why is it there? There's a galaxy 100 billion light years away... Really?! How big is the Universe and where is it contained? Who put it there?!? Where did the elements of its content come from? If it was a Big Bang, what was there before???

      The ic1101 galaxy is 1 billion years away. And yeah, this knowledge does bring lots more questions, which is why humans will always continue to search the cosmos for answers =)
