For everyone experiencing the existential dread, just remember two things. One, the timelines of when we would get to the point of the heat death of the universe so incredibly massive for us it might as well be infinity. Two, our understanding of the universe is constantly changing! 10 or 20 years from now it may be an entirely different idea of what will happen. Ultimately the dynamics of how the universe plays out are completely out of your control, just live your best life and rest easy knowing that the outcome doesn't matter to you, the entire human race, or even the planet itself.
Totally. The sun'll get us before the heat death of the universe does. We need to stop going to war over international boundaries and whose 2,000 year old book is right and start figuring out how to refuel the sun! 🤣
@@leighkite1164I agree there’s gotta be a way to trim off something’s and fix what is broken, I’d say we all need to start fixing it now before it’s to late.
I agree with you and I truly love how it’s so beautiful but so destructible at the same time., space, dark matter, gravity, heat and light makes the universe tick.
Not so much as scary as it is fascinating in my opinion. The fact that a structure composed of countless galaxies simultaneously close and far away from each other (relatively speaking) can actually influence the direction of galaxies all the way from here feels mind boggling. Nature never ceases to amaze us
The title made me very curious and I've not been disappointed at all, it was very interesting to me. Haven't seen your videos for quite a good while now and it was just as satisfying as you seem to be contented as frogg, making me once again smile even more...❤ Thank you 🌸 Very lovely 🍄 Yah.. just 100 % ...So my experience of this video would fit far better of being described as and/or compared with the opposite of an abrupt climax. Yaah just as very complete & fulfilling `
The idea of a super-massive thing bigger than anything we know, and it's attracting our galaxy, but we can't see what it is or know what it is, is SO SCI-FI. What an awesome premise.
The Great Attractor, also known as Bolder's ring, more commonly known simply as the ring (or the Xeelee Ring), is a highly advanced Xeelee structure and one of their greatest achievements.Twenty-first century humanity was aware of the gravitational anomaly created by the ring and dubbed it the Great Attractor. Upon discovery of the ring itself, humanity mistakenly assumed it to be a weapon, while instead it is a portal used to escape the universe. The ring has a diameter of 10 million light-years (100 times that of the Milky Way galaxy) and is made of cosmic superstring. The Xeelee constructed it over the course of billions of years during which they converted the mass of thousands of galaxies into the ring's superstring. The ring spins near the speed of light, which combined with its mass, causes the creation of a naked singularity at its center. The enormous mass of the ring locally counteracts the expansion of the universe.
That ending. The way he said thanks for watching. I now feel smaller and at the same time feel like it's not to us to fathom the universe. Thanks for listening.
I ALMOST wish I had never discovered your channel. I keep finding videos of yours that are so fascinating, I keep watching another and another. I must try to limit myself, otherwise I'll never get any writing done. You are doing your job too well.
@@gdpirahna Yes and what mankind has begun to do is look at it with you actually trying to prevent to be you to try to take command of our authentic communications, true and free from attenuating circumstances. Some sounds like platitudes but my concerns are that they that think speak have not the deceptions as pragmatic and the resins for communicating and playing games isn't what they would spend time. Quite literally there is no game if words in their method of communicating. Like truth as falsity is terrible wasted opportunity to relieve oneself of deceptions and rmpaths and empathetic a they truly are also. There is no Alien question! There is not a Fermi paradox other than they that lie, decieve and murder and move the heavens just so we don't see so they feel more important or more special but actually have less a relationship like the ones they are trying to take us for granted this new world order of chaos making.
I recommend scheduling your youtube viewing for while you're doing a workout. Moving a machine back and forth just to make your muscles work is deadly boring, but having a playlist of interesting vids queued up makes it much more tolerable, and you don't have to feel guilty about the time spent watching vids because you were doing something important for your health at the same time.
@@tealkerberus748 I was mostly kidding. I'm writing a book, and it's too easy to slack off and watch these fascinating videos. I was trying to joke about my lack of discipline.
Was just listening and not watching. I couldn’t understand why it was called “greater tractor” until I finally realized he was saying “great attractor”💀
The Germans have placed a high powered bank of HID/LED bulbs and nowadays we have a white Sun, in the80s it was definitely Yellow/Orange in colour......Global 🎉is man made, it uses a strong blue light which encourages more plants to grow bigger and faster!! For more big bellies to fill up!! ❤ peace to all not war x
I see space as a weather system. Regions have high and low pressure with complex fluid movements. What's really hard 4-dimensional thinking is that there is not only localized space-pressure but also time-pressure. A region such as the Great Attractor is not necessarily more dense, but there is more space and time inside it.
@@laithamekir5778 ah bless ya you actually think there is empirical evidence for gravity there isnt and if there was it doesn’t effect the expansion of gas otherwise it would never leave the ground 😂
That last "thanks for watching" was so sincerely funny like, you enjoyed either consufing people with the video or the fact that people kinda gets freaked out by this and you trolled them LOL. I enjoyed every bit. Thanks mate.
@@AlphaRaine A false theory..Everything is connected throught the universe by electricty..Space is not empty..It is fille with energy..We will never come closer to the said theoretical object..
This guy just pushed the "Better Help" scam on people already in a bad place. This is all I need to know about him. Just like "MrBallen" he`s a walking trash heap psychopath!
I love watching your content, and slowly getting through them all. I also don't comment much on them, because frankly...There are surely to many to read. Having said that, this has got to be up there as one of your better ones (and you have aaaaaaaaalot). I have learnt a lot today that I never knew about, like walking 12000 miles in 30 seconds. the way you explain things and simplify it down is amazing, thank you very much :)
What I don't understand about Inflation is that it means space and mass within it is moving away from each other "outward", with father objects seeming to move away more quickly. However, that is what we would percieve if the Universe is gravitationally collapsing as well. The pull of gravity increases geomentrically with the distance from the center of the mass. From our galaxy it would look like we are moving ever faster away from galaxies that are further from the Central Attractor, since we are closer and the gravitational pull is increasing, and therefore accellerating at a faster rate. Looking towards galaxies closer to the Central Attractor, they would be moving towards the Central Attractor at an ever increasing speed, thereby ever increasing the distance between them and the Milky Way. It would look like how Inflation is described, but be due to gravity. So it seems to me that gravity could be collapsing the Universe and it could appear as if the Universe is expanding because of the increasing distance between masses; when actually it Gravity. At some point all the mass would arrive at the same place, and it would be obvious that what was seen as Inflation was actually the differential in attraction between masses at different distances from the Central Attractor. How do we know that Inflation is expanding the Universe rather than collapsing the Universe?
"Whoever built this place left a lot of crap lying around..." Absolutely brilliant. It's almost the sort of thing that the late, very great, Douglas Adams would have had one of his 'Hitch Hiker's Guide The Galaxy' characters say (probably Slartibartfast). Great video. I always thought that the Great Attractor was/is an extra-dimensional child trying to get the last drops of his milkshake out of a glass with a straw. Our Universe being naught but a particle of subatomic size suspended in a child's Nesquick. (#notspon).
Videos like this is making me even more convinced that we are not the only life in the universe. There's just no way there can be this many galaxies without aliens
There's no way we're the only life in the universe, but it seems highly likely we're the only life in our galaxy given the astronomically small odds of self-replicating molecules (life) forming. The number I once heard was 1 in 10^1080: that number is bigger than the atoms in the observable universe (2 trillion galaxies). But in a literally infinite universe, any odds, no matter how insanely small, are guaranteed to happen.
First - homo sapience thought that their near and reachable surrounding is everything, then humans thought that their village is the center of the region, then humans thought that the earth is flat and their region is the center of Earth, then humans thought that Earth is the center of space around it, then humans thought that the Sun is the center of space around it, then humans thought that our galaxy is the center of everything, then humans thought that our galaxy cluster is everything, then humans though that the great attractor is the center of everything, then humans thought that..... Tendencies show that our universe is probably just a small village and there are always more levels towards infinity. We see same things if we go microscopic. So basically we are standing somewhere on a ruler and we can't see the beginning and the end of it.
"For those of you who are into existential dread" Your time is too short and irrelevant at the these space-time scales. It's a miracle we exist so enjoy this gift and don't throw it away. It's literally one chance in the whole existence of the universe. You won the lottery. Spend your time wisely.
@@alane3985That isn't really how that person meant it. It's our lives here that need to be thought of as a gift comparatively as face value so don't waste it on Penny -- Annie b.s. or fighting with each other because that's not how God intends people to be like
Astrophysics is currently teaching that the Milkyway Galaxy is in a direct collision with Sagittarius Minor Galaxy(Which is the actual Galaxy our Solar system is originally from). What we see in the night sky as"The Milkyway" is the actual collision itself or rather our Galaxy's(Sagittarius Minor) entry point into the Milkyway Galaxy. Everything we thought we knew is now changing since the birth of JWST. Think about that the next time you get a clear view of the night sky.
What proof do they have that this is actually the case? If the knowledge we obtain is frequently changing our theories about the world, why would anyone take seriously what the current theory is? If we’re just making up our own lore to the universe, I’ll gladly join in.
Imagine if you will a disk. Inside of that disc is a bunch of galaxies. The disk is pushed forward by an unknown force. Because of that unknown force the disc is now generating friction. The friction causes the disk to expand as it moves forward. Compression from movement and friction causes expansion. Friction pushing down Forward motion pushing up. Now the forward motion is pulling the galaxies with the universe. More friction. Galaxies are filled with mass and matter. The galaxies spin from friction caused by the pull of the universe. The universe now spins because of the friction from the galaxies. Each galaxy having its own spin because of mass and matter that create the friction. All matter in every galaxy now has gravity. The matter is spinning from the friction of the galaxy moving forward as the universe moves forward. Simple physics. Observable facts. Time is not relative to space.
Always remember "Scientist seems right for the moment but they are always wrong after today as we advanced more and more with technological developments."
Find the beauty in whats here and now. And always remember that you too can go out, look into the night sky and see its beauty. I hope one day we find a solution to light saturation so we all can experience the distance of the void outside. However, more than existential, this should humble us. Love and live through your life to the fullest you can, and regardless if there is an inevitability that ends us in darkness, keep pushing for a better tomorrow. For you, for me, for everyone that comes after, especially for those we've lost. With everything against us, our lives defy the dark, and our insignificance in the grand scheme gives us a blank canvas, to create a picture we can make ourselves, even if we're long forgotten. Be safe out there, be you, don't let the digital connectedness we find here pull us apart elsewhere. Be human. Thank you all for your efforts in your own lives.
@@Boop895 If happiness is too high of a bar to reach, being able to reach the bar of being okay, can be much easier. Happiness will come and go, if we're always happy it just becomes normalcy, and suddenly its not really considered happiness anymore. Don't give yourself to sadness, and if you feel everything is too much, reach out to hotlines, reach out to people in your life. Sometimes we need and require that social interaction. Whatever you do, be you, do what you can. I can't diagnose issues, I cannot provide all answers you may feel you require to be happy. The canvas we paint will provide us answers though, and lead us to happiness somehow. Just recognize your roadblocks, push to surpass them, go out to a library, chat with someone, and never ignore the small bits of memories you, yourself can cherish.
@@Boop895 Well, I strongly suggest then that you make a great endeavor to find it again! P.s. may-be try finding the joy in seeing others finding happiness and rejoice in the warmth of that until your turn comes around again. I wish you a short wait and MUCH happiness, friend.
Nothing that i do not understand, what is does, and who made it and HOW, is beautiful to me; the sky is like a boulder over my head, it may come crashing down or even pieces of it, lightning, hail,rain, wing, storms, hurricanes, SCREW it.
Your planet, along with its neighbours, is moving, as your Galaxy is, into a new area of space, a new vibration. In this creation, there is nothing but order. It is only necessary to look about you to see the order and perfection of this universe. You are about to experience a gift. This gift will be a new understanding of love. Some of you have already begun to experience this, and as the progression takes place, it will become more and more apparent to many of those of Earth. We are here to help with this experience. This is the reason that so many of your brothers from space, as you call it, are now here with Planet Earth. We are here to serve and to help the Creator’s plan bring to you the love that you desire.
I'm reading "Stick a Flag in it," and hearing this voice discussing space time on video, while mentally hearing it discussing the Kings of England during my daily commute, is a delightful brain-twister. I highly recommend the book!
I love how people say space is scarry and theres videos talking about the scariest things in space and I watch them and light up with excitement and fascination
I had a dream I could fly at amazing speeds getting out of earth. I went so far I was scared. I didn’t remember how to get back but I found so many different works different colors. Lots of different suns and I could go out for ever. It seemed so real. I was convinced I was there. I came to earth somehow and flew for a bit and next thing you know is I forgot how to fly. It was THE MOST AMAZING dream ever. I hope it happens to me again.
That means that you actually did do it spiritually as an out of body experience. It's called Astral Projection. So in actual reality. You did do it so chances are, it will happen to you again some other time throughout your life here on earth. 😇
Be Careful as our criminal military non government represented techno criminals really are trying to steal your astro self and travel to see what is just your relationship not theirs.
2:20 Using gravity to explain intergalactic movement is ludicrous. Dark matter and energy are nothing more than modern epicycles. Maxwell/Lorentz showed us the power of electromagnetism and every NASA probe has found space is full of charged particles. Those forces dwarf gravity. The electrostatic repulsion between two protons is 1.2×10^36 times greater than their gravitational attraction. The electrostatic attraction between one proton and one electron is 2.2×10^39 times the force of their gravitational attraction.
Full of is a bit of an overstatement. Space is orders of magnitude emptier than our best earthbound vacuum. Yes EM forces are stonger than gravity, but to achieve attraction between objects, you need to have net opposite charges between the two objects. So how is it that we here in the Milky Way have a net charge opposite to, say, the Andromeda Galaxy that is approaching the Milky Way? How did such a large, inhomogenous, object get and maintain a net charge and why would one have a charge opposite the other?
You wanna be the Great Attractor? You want? Just say you want, and see if bad thing could happen to you soon or not. Perhaps you wanna fly without wings, right? Watch out of your mouth! God is not One that you use as a subject to joke. If you don't stop in time and repent, it's likely for you be stopped talking, for being muted! Beware! Baton wielder, Baron
easy just pay more taxes then the earth will Hurtling Towards Something NOT Strange and that We Know. just like when you pay more taxes the earth's temperature will become better
Amazing as always, loved this one. Can't wait until my daughter is old enough to watch these, atm it would just make her head explode. She also had a school project early this year and we listened to a section of your book that I bought (Stick a flag in it) and it realy did help her, so thanks for that.
That's why I love this channel! Variety of facts, stories and subjects and all interesting. If Thoughty2 would become teacher, his classes would take place in emptied Amazon warehouse as there is no classrooms big enough...
@@scottfox543 Yeah, but consider we are all here because we want to hear about this particular topic and it only takes 15 minutes. School on the other hand...
This is new to me. I was taught that the universe is expanding as a result of the Big Band and that eventually it will slow to a stop and begin collapsing in upon itself.
You've done a bang-up job of surmising The Great Attractor, but more importantly you are the first person I've seen that explains what we now know. Until now I've always thought it was a mystery, but of course I am lazy and am referring to the many video's I've seen on the topic without any actual research. You've filled in the blanks. Thank you for this video!
That end tagline was the best yet. But I was also laughing out loud the moment you mentioned scientists using staggering creativity, because I already knew what this video was about.
The fact at the end there is really depressing. Anything we learn, and anything anyone anywhere learns, at any time, will eventually not matter at all. It will all just be lost in time, no good to anyone. And even if this time is incomprehensively far into the future, it still makes me feel like _"What's the point then? Of anything."_ Give up now, or later, it doesn't matter.
Just because there is an end doesn't mean that there is no point, what the point is is up to you. Every second of your life is frozen in time forever, make them good ones.
Within all this space, there must exist quadrillions of living thinking entities such as ourselves. Some less aware n some more aware than us. Maybe our existence powers theirs n vice versa. There's always a possibility that you exist outside of time and space. And no, I'm not spouting religion. Cheer up; enjoy the ride. Don't give up, but maybe give in just a little.
So live your best life while you are here. If we can’t comprehend time and space, how can anyone say with absolute certainty what life and death are? What if where we are now is where we went to die in a previous life and when we “die” is this world/space we are born into new life? You don’t know…line u said license best life while you are here. Live good and have fun in your life…actually live a good life in preparation for the new life after this life on earth. Hahahahaha
Hey man, i have been waychungbyour videos for a while Your jokes are honesty goid and all but your science and overall accuracy as well as finally shutting down the black hole doom theorists is great. You connected all the relivent topics related to the great attractor perfectly. The diphole repelor wasnt necesarry but most videos do close with we dont know and never will. You finally made the one i wanted to see and feel fufiled with. Kudos im subscribed keep it up
this is all nonsense , heliocentrism is NOT REAL . either is the globe ... ive seen the CIA DOCUMENTS . geocentric stationary world is the truth ...read Enoch 1 only fort truth, 2 and 3 are full of nonsense , it isnt same Enoch ... it isnt 5000 yrs old either .

It's direct and to the point, with just the right amount of humor and sarcasm... And you can tell the topics of your show actually interest and intrigue you...(me too) Im sure you will probably never read this comment...but if by chance you do... I would just like to say thank you and please don't change a thing about the way you do what your doing... You should be super impressed with yourself...I am...I very rarely take the time to comment on any of the hundreds of things I see on RUclips... Only when I think they are worthy of my time and opinion... Which you and your channel are...✌️ ....Theory...
He knows we've been telling him since in my case immediately after he started .. He gives a hint in this upload at the beginning about how he hardly has enough time for sleep.

He has influenced and helped initiate countless other non-gamer creators.
Different take: Because people believe in the steady advancement of tech, the making of Sci Fi into Sci Fact, the potential of eventual expansion to other stellar bodies and that if we ever did crack FtL travel then our species might not be dust. We will though, probably before we get to a moon base phase, so yeah it’s not something I’ll trouble myself with. 😊
Thank you for sharing this! Also, many thanks for the great care, attention, and thought you put into the presentation. It’s really lovely and your voice is the beautiful cherry on top! 🤜🏽🔥
"We're heading towards a giant galaxy super cluster! ...syke! We're moving away from it all and eventually we'll be cut off from everything! Thanks for watching!" 😂
The sun will die out before we get there. You’ll die far before either of these things. Those are comfort enough for me. I’ll already be in the void of non-existence. Just like before I was born. It’s just a void.
I’m brand new to physics (no proper schooling), but this exact phenomenon is literally (in my mind, anyway) a likely scenario, given what I learned in Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell’s “How to Destroy the Universe” I feel like that’s the inevitable cycle. It exploded out with the Big Bang, & now everything is being sucked back through the vastness of space. To eventually start the cycle over again.
That is called an oscillation. I have questions. What if gravity creates matter and not the other way round? How would we know that everything is expanding if EVERYTHING is expanding? How, exactly, if, as Einstein said light travels at the same speed regardless of where or how fast we travel, does light exhibit red or blue shift if there is no medium?
That super cluster looks like a nerve cluster. The universe is a brain, and everything we know as reality are simply thoughts, ideas, dreams, and nightmares... What a crazy thought.
I mean to comment on what you said at the end, wormholes and distorting space-time could allow us to travel as far as we possibly can, no matter the physical distance.
So are the probabilitys you will be sent back where you bagan for your permissions are not granted, just like the space craft tr3b and these complaints mankinds falsely with.
and there are so many galaxies that the probability that there is an exact copy of earth, where there are humans, and they speak english, and there is even another you! and that other you didn't write this comment. isn't science fun!
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen about universe! Hadn't heard about great attractor before. Thank you for making it simple enough - super interesting!
Same! I have a deep seeded interest in the universe and the size of the objects they have discovered(Stars, Black holes etc.) have always been fascinating to me and scares me quite a bit but up until now I had never heard anything about The Great Attractor
A few philosophical concepts to ponder in reference to this. 1. Perhaps our galaxy is but one cell of some vast organism beyond our comprehension. 2. Matter may not matter anyway, so no matter how vast the universe is, not reaching the end of it is like creating an infinite plane in a video game and pledging to reach the edge of it with your avatar. It's just not important. What is important is time and the people you spend it with.
Thank you! I have just discovered this channel and found it fascinating. I’m going to push the subscribe button 😊 As an elder on this beautiful planet, I know that there is so much to learn and discover and not enough time to do so ❤
Lol goofs, teories all speculation earth will go gone be chaos and non predictable. That was the foot note to it. They have no real clue what’s to happen. They know but they don’t lol experts sorry knowers!
I've actually no idea how long I've been watching thoughty2's content for but I can promise you that every single episode that I have watched is well worth watching and this one is another brilliant one, his content can be watched by friends and family alike, you never have to be worried about the viewers age and you never feel like you're being spoken to like you're the village idiot nor do you have to watch out for inappropriate content.....Not a bloody Daddy Pig in sight! 😊
11:38 - Now ask yourself, what are the odds that ALL of this supercluster made of 100k galaxies is a all completely dead without any life forms except for us? yeah, we're probably not alone.
I remember watching a lot of space related videos as a kid, then I’d be panicking because it always had me thinking, “It said the sun would explode in 7 billion years, what if that last year is tomorrow?” Lmfao, great content man, keep it up!
The "Zone of Avoidance" was at the back of the class for me where a girl named Michelle flashed her knickers and simultaneously became the "Big Attractor". The universe suddenly became a lot smaller.
As a man once said, reality is always far greater than fiction. And I say to that: Well clearly, the human mind can’t even comprehend the true expansion and detail of our universe.
There are considered 4 super clusters, ours contains about 100 galaxy clusters and about 45,000 galaxies, the next largest one contains around 30~ galaxy clusters and probably another 25,000~ galaxies, the other two super clusters are “filament clusters”, and they each contain a couple sections, but instead of being super dense, they are long and sparse, and these two clusters contain probably 10-20,000 galaxies a piece. And the estimates for the whole thing are actually anywhere between 100,000-150,000. And the “branch” he refers to, is HUGE, it’s most of the right arm in the picture. His transition did not due it justice.
i just thought so too. then i saw your comment, then i saw the useless answers to it and went to google. here's some results: _virgo cluster, dominator of our local group:_ It is much larger than any other group within 100 million light years. There are about 150 large galaxies in this cluster and at least a thousand known dwarf galaxies. _virgo supercluster aka our local supercluster:_ It is thought to contain over 47,000 galaxies. (110 million light-years) _hydra supercluster:_ contains only about 157 galaxies of which only 1 is "rich" and that is the hydra cluster. _centaurus supercluster:_ contains only 100 galaxies, about as many as the Virgo or Hydra clusters. _laniakea supercluster:_ encompasses approximately 100,000 galaxies stretched out over 160 Mpc (520 million ly). i think the confusing part here is that the word "super" is used unrelated to the orders of magnitude in terms of galaxy amounts, but in terms of areal coverage. in all fairness tho, i look at those pictures and it doesn't make any sense unless they mistook clusters for galaxies when they looked through their scopes...... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Position_der_Erde_im_Universum_4x2.png (german for beginners: milchstraße = milkyway, nachbarschaft = neighbourhood, superhaufen = supercluster) www.icc.dur.ac.uk/~tt/Lectures/Galaxies/LocalGroup/Back/virgo.html here's a page with some maps & explanations that go deeper into the smaller stuff, but also show the location of earth in the universe i hope i was more helpful than the other 2 xd
@Trockenfurz Yours was better. So the Virgo supercluster is half the galaxies of the Laniakea supercluster in 100m lightyears, the other 400m lightlears contain the other half? The confusing part is then shouldn't the virgo supercluster be the great attractor as it is the highest density in the region? In the picture it looks like a tiny part of it with confuses further
So we are always moving in every direction you can think of and yet we are still here nothings hit earth our galaxy isn't shredded by a black hole something isn't adding up
@axenik He said in the video that we'll never reach that point because the universe is expanding faster than the supercluster is pulling us in. Since spacetime itself is expanding, no force can combat that. It's like if you were running a race and the track kept getting bigger so you could never reach the finish line. There's no convergence of the universe. There's expansion of the universe, and there's gravity, which is what is pulling our galaxy and the others around us into the supercluster.
Thanks for explaining that in understandable language and with a little bit of humor. I'm glad you didn't overdo it, as otherwise, it becomes one of those annoying videos that are more about how (not) funny the maker is rather than the topic itself. And your smile is beautiful :-)
As an old adage goes, "One man's crap (trash) is another man's treasure." It all probably has a use but our little mammalian brains can't fathom it but in small degrees.
@@daxramdac7194 Humans in overall have absolutely no clue of these things yet... what comes to the very essence of space and time, we just don't know. There are things like dark matter and other stuff, theorized to magically explain it all... but surprise surprise - hasn't been detected yet. My guess is, we never will, but instead might some day in future realize how this all REALLY works. Wasn't too long ago, when those who said Earth is not flat, were burned alive in public. And thanks for asking - been doing "little" research of these things some 30+ years, is my work.
You are always a joy to watch. You offer an array of things. From great knowledge to great laughter and beyond. Mixed with charm, and pleasant sarcasm, and the list goes on.
@6:23 The crate attractor may not be a physical thing and if it is, it may not be a massive thing. It could also work in conjunction with the collective gravity of all the galaxies in the area. if you have thousands of galaxies in close proximity to each other they will attract each other. If you zoom out far enough and look at those thousands of galaxies, it changes your perspective and shows that they are actually relatively close and if you picture a bowl or a ball, it's probably about what they look like, And will eventually collapse due to gravity, and it would be obvious
For everyone experiencing the existential dread, just remember two things. One, the timelines of when we would get to the point of the heat death of the universe so incredibly massive for us it might as well be infinity. Two, our understanding of the universe is constantly changing! 10 or 20 years from now it may be an entirely different idea of what will happen.

What's even scarier is that the great attractor is being pulled by an even more massive place in space. The Shapley Supercluster.
Only 22billions years before we reach it...😂
Not so much as scary as it is fascinating in my opinion. The fact that a structure composed of countless galaxies simultaneously close and far away from each other (relatively speaking) can actually influence the direction of galaxies all the way from here feels mind boggling. Nature never ceases to amaze us

The Great Attractor, also known as Bolder's ring, more commonly known simply as the ring (or the Xeelee Ring), is a highly advanced Xeelee structure and one of their greatest achievements.Twenty-first century humanity was aware of the gravitational anomaly created by the ring and dubbed it the Great Attractor. Upon discovery of the ring itself, humanity mistakenly assumed it to be a weapon, while instead it is a portal used to escape the universe.
The ring has a diameter of 10 million light-years (100 times that of the Milky Way galaxy) and is made of cosmic superstring. The Xeelee constructed it over the course of billions of years during which they converted the mass of thousands of galaxies into the ring's superstring. The ring spins near the speed of light, which combined with its mass, causes the creation of a naked singularity at its center. The enormous mass of the ring locally counteracts the expansion of the universe.

I see space as a weather system. Regions have high and low pressure with complex fluid movements. What's really hard 4-dimensional thinking is that there is not only localized space-pressure but also time-pressure. A region such as the Great Attractor is not necessarily more dense, but there is more space and time inside it.
Love your thinking my friend! 😍
I can dig it.
space and time are concepts lol high and low pressure in a near vacuum 😂 Im guessing the second law of thermodynamics escaped you
@@ClebRuckus2if you think of gravitational pulls as high and lower pressure it kind of works.

I love watching your content, and slowly getting through them all. I also don't comment much on them, because frankly...There are surely to many to read. Having said that, this has got to be up there as one of your better ones (and you have aaaaaaaaalot). I have learnt a lot today that I never knew about, like walking 12000 miles in 30 seconds. the way you explain things and simplify it down is amazing, thank you very much :)
What I don't understand about Inflation is that it means space and mass within it is moving away from each other "outward", with father objects seeming to move away more quickly. However, that is what we would percieve if the Universe is gravitationally collapsing as well. The pull of gravity increases geomentrically with the distance from the center of the mass. From our galaxy it would look like we are moving ever faster away from galaxies that are further from the Central Attractor, since we are closer and the gravitational pull is increasing, and therefore accellerating at a faster rate. Looking towards galaxies closer to the Central Attractor, they would be moving towards the Central Attractor at an ever increasing speed, thereby ever increasing the distance between them and the Milky Way. It would look like how Inflation is described, but be due to gravity.
So it seems to me that gravity could be collapsing the Universe and it could appear as if the Universe is expanding because of the increasing distance between masses; when actually it Gravity. At some point all the mass would arrive at the same place, and it would be obvious that what was seen as Inflation was actually the differential in attraction between masses at different distances from the Central Attractor. How do we know that Inflation is expanding the Universe rather than collapsing the Universe?
"Whoever built this place left a lot of crap lying around..." Absolutely brilliant. It's almost the sort of thing that the late, very great, Douglas Adams would have had one of his 'Hitch Hiker's Guide The Galaxy' characters say (probably Slartibartfast). Great video. I always thought that the Great Attractor was/is an extra-dimensional child trying to get the last drops of his milkshake out of a glass with a straw. Our Universe being naught but a particle of subatomic size suspended in a child's Nesquick. (#notspon).

no way we are alone@@kingcryonical
@@kingcryonical BUT, "they" will always be too far away ...
There's no way we're the only life in the universe, but it seems highly likely we're the only life in our galaxy given the astronomically small odds of self-replicating molecules (life) forming. The number I once heard was 1 in 10^1080: that number is bigger than the atoms in the observable universe (2 trillion galaxies). But in a literally infinite universe, any odds, no matter how insanely small, are guaranteed to happen.
First - homo sapience thought that their near and reachable surrounding is everything, then humans thought that their village is the center of the region, then humans thought that the earth is flat and their region is the center of Earth, then humans thought that Earth is the center of space around it, then humans thought that the Sun is the center of space around it, then humans thought that our galaxy is the center of everything, then humans thought that our galaxy cluster is everything, then humans though that the great attractor is the center of everything, then humans thought that..... Tendencies show that our universe is probably just a small village and there are always more levels towards infinity. We see same things if we go microscopic. So basically we are standing somewhere on a ruler and we can't see the beginning and the end of it.

Astrophysics is currently teaching that the Milkyway Galaxy is in a direct collision with Sagittarius Minor Galaxy(Which is the actual Galaxy our Solar system is originally from). What we see in the night sky as"The Milkyway" is the actual collision itself or rather our Galaxy's(Sagittarius Minor) entry point into the Milkyway Galaxy. Everything we thought we knew is now changing since the birth of JWST. Think about that the next time you get a clear view of the night sky.

@@owenbevans6062 Not a single part of that statement has anything to do with worrying about anything.... Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
What proof do they have that this is actually the case? If the knowledge we obtain is frequently changing our theories about the world, why would anyone take seriously what the current theory is? If we’re just making up our own lore to the universe, I’ll gladly join in.

"[Making the complex simple is true creativity]" - (Famous stringed instrumentalist but icr]
earth doesnt move. stars move.
Imagine if you will a disk. Inside of that disc is a bunch of galaxies. The disk is pushed forward by an unknown force. Because of that unknown force the disc is now generating friction. The friction causes the disk to expand as it moves forward. Compression from movement and friction causes expansion. Friction pushing down Forward motion pushing up. Now the forward motion is pulling the galaxies with the universe. More friction. Galaxies are filled with mass and matter. The galaxies spin from friction caused by the pull of the universe. The universe now spins because of the friction from the galaxies. Each galaxy having its own spin because of mass and matter that create the friction. All matter in every galaxy now has gravity. The matter is spinning from the friction of the galaxy moving forward as the universe moves forward. Simple physics. Observable facts. Time is not relative to space.

I hope one day we find a solution to light saturation so we all can experience the distance of the void outside.
However, more than existential, this should humble us. Love and live through your life to the fullest you can, and regardless if there is an inevitability that ends us in darkness, keep pushing for a better tomorrow. For you, for me, for everyone that comes after, especially for those we've lost.
With everything against us, our lives defy the dark, and our insignificance in the grand scheme gives us a blank canvas, to create a picture we can make ourselves, even if we're long forgotten.

@@Boop895 If happiness is too high of a bar to reach, being able to reach the bar of being okay, can be much easier.
Happiness will come and go, if we're always happy it just becomes normalcy, and suddenly its not really considered happiness anymore.
Don't give yourself to sadness, and if you feel everything is too much, reach out to hotlines, reach out to people in your life. Sometimes we need and require that social interaction.
Whatever you do, be you, do what you can. I can't diagnose issues, I cannot provide all answers you may feel you require to be happy. The canvas we paint will provide us answers though, and lead us to happiness somehow.
Just recognize your roadblocks, push to surpass them, go out to a library, chat with someone, and never ignore the small bits of memories you, yourself can cherish.

Lots of different suns and I could go out for ever. It seemed so real. I was convinced I was there. I came to earth somehow and flew for a bit and next thing you know is I forgot how to fly. It was THE MOST AMAZING dream ever. I hope it happens to me again.

@@marwan3994best comment ever 😂
2:20 Using gravity to explain intergalactic movement is ludicrous. Dark matter and energy are nothing more than modern epicycles. Maxwell/Lorentz showed us the power of electromagnetism and every NASA probe has found space is full of charged particles. Those forces dwarf gravity. The electrostatic repulsion between two protons is 1.2×10^36 times greater than their gravitational attraction. The electrostatic attraction between one proton and one electron is 2.2×10^39 times the force of their gravitational attraction.
Full of is a bit of an overstatement. Space is orders of magnitude emptier than our best earthbound vacuum. Yes EM forces are stonger than gravity, but to achieve attraction between objects, you need to have net opposite charges between the two objects. So how is it that we here in the Milky Way have a net charge opposite to, say, the Andromeda Galaxy that is approaching the Milky Way? How did such a large, inhomogenous, object get and maintain a net charge and why would one have a charge opposite the other?

The fact at the end there is really depressing. Anything we learn, and anything anyone anywhere learns, at any time, will eventually not matter at all. It will all just be lost in time, no good to anyone. And even if this time is incomprehensively far into the future, it still makes me feel like _"What's the point then? Of anything."_ Give up now, or later, it doesn't matter.
Just because there is an end doesn't mean that there is no point, what the point is is up to you. Every second of your life is frozen in time forever, make them good ones.
Within all this space, there must exist quadrillions of living thinking entities such as ourselves. Some less aware n some more aware than us. Maybe our existence powers theirs n vice versa. There's always a possibility that you exist outside of time and space.
And no, I'm not spouting religion. Cheer up; enjoy the ride. Don't give up, but maybe give in just a little.
the universe is a billion years old, our existence will disappear in the blink of an eye and the universe will continue for another billion years
So live your best life while you are here. If we can’t comprehend time and space, how can anyone say with absolute certainty what life and death are?

Live good and have fun in your life…actually live a good life in preparation for the new life after this life on earth. Hahahahaha

I’m brand new to physics (no proper schooling), but this exact phenomenon is literally (in my mind, anyway) a likely scenario, given what I learned in Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell’s “How to Destroy the Universe”
I feel like that’s the inevitable cycle. It exploded out with the Big Bang, & now everything is being sucked back through the vastness of space. To eventually start the cycle over again.
That is called an oscillation. I have questions. What if gravity creates matter and not the other way round? How would we know that everything is expanding if EVERYTHING is expanding? How, exactly, if, as Einstein said light travels at the same speed regardless of where or how fast we travel, does light exhibit red or blue shift if there is no medium?

Same! I have a deep seeded interest in the universe and the size of the objects they have discovered(Stars, Black holes etc.) have always been fascinating to me and scares me quite a bit but up until now I had never heard anything about The Great Attractor
A few philosophical concepts to ponder in reference to this.
1. Perhaps our galaxy is but one cell of some vast organism beyond our comprehension.
2. Matter may not matter anyway, so no matter how vast the universe is, not reaching the end of it is like creating an infinite plane in a video game and pledging to reach the edge of it with your avatar. It's just not important. What is important is time and the people you spend it with.
Thank you! I have just discovered this channel and found it fascinating. I’m going to push the subscribe button 😊 As an elder on this beautiful planet, I know that there is so much to learn and discover and not enough time to do so ❤
Going to watch this tomorrow, but i'm curious to see how often the title and image will change.
It will only get smaller no matter how much you accelerate 😁
Regardless the title the image will still look like earth prolapsed it's way out a butt
Lol goofs, teories all speculation earth will go gone be chaos and non predictable. That was the foot note to it. They have no real clue what’s to happen. They know but they don’t lol experts sorry knowers!
If I want to know about space you are always going to be the first person I look at because you explain things in a advanced way and a normal way

Hope he doesn’t change the title this time😂😂😂

Nothing can travel faster than light? You mean, nothing can accelerate to the speed of light. Pretty big difference.
I've actually no idea how long I've been watching thoughty2's content for but I can promise you that every single episode that I have watched is well worth watching and this one is another brilliant one, his content can be watched by friends and family alike, you never have to be worried about the viewers age and you never feel like you're being spoken to like you're the village idiot nor do you have to watch out for inappropriate content.....Not a bloody Daddy Pig in sight! 😊
More astronomy videos please! You do a great job of making it easily understandable.
It is all B.S anyway. The earth is flat.
This stuff really bends your whole mind and existance literally
when you said 'love' is was like : I KNEW IT.... I seriously think that 'love' or 'the attraction of bodies' is a underrated force in the universe.
Perhaps planet Earth will resign from life due to the evil of fraudsters who despise the principle of reap what you sow.

No just no. Bad comparison.
11:38 - Now ask yourself, what are the odds that ALL of this supercluster made of 100k galaxies is a all completely dead without any life forms except for us? yeah, we're probably not alone.
The math alone would predict we're not.
Of course we already kno tht now
“Either we are alone or we are not alone both are equally terrifying”
I remember watching a lot of space related videos as a kid, then I’d be panicking because it always had me thinking, “It said the sun would explode in 7 billion years, what if that last year is tomorrow?” Lmfao, great content man, keep it up!
I've been following from the begining. Love watching your channel grow and impressed with your video editing these days!
I agree, but I did prefer the luxurious 'tache to the 'designer stubble' look.

@christianmarx3249 my D2 account. But nice observation 👌
The "Zone of Avoidance" was at the back of the class for me where a girl named Michelle flashed her knickers and simultaneously became the "Big Attractor".
The universe suddenly became a lot smaller.
...and you are still entrapped just outside her event horizon, I see.

Who needs sci fi when the real worl is just as scary
As a man once said, reality is always far greater than fiction. And I say to that: Well clearly, the human mind can’t even comprehend the true expansion and detail of our universe.
wait, our cluster is 45k galaxies, but the super cluster is only 100k galaxies? something isn't adding up
There are considered 4 super clusters, ours contains about 100 galaxy clusters and about 45,000 galaxies, the next largest one contains around 30~ galaxy clusters and probably another 25,000~ galaxies, the other two super clusters are “filament clusters”, and they each contain a couple sections, but instead of being super dense, they are long and sparse, and these two clusters contain probably 10-20,000 galaxies a piece. And the estimates for the whole thing are actually anywhere between 100,000-150,000. And the “branch” he refers to, is HUGE, it’s most of the right arm in the picture. His transition did not due it justice.
Why try to calculate. Many is the definite non quantum and quantum answer. Generalizations as you might be attempting is what bad science does today.
i just thought so too. then i saw your comment, then i saw the useless answers to it and went to google. here's some results:
_virgo cluster, dominator of our local group:_ It is much larger than any other group within 100 million light years. There are about 150 large galaxies in this cluster and at least a thousand known dwarf galaxies.
_virgo supercluster aka our local supercluster:_ It is thought to contain over 47,000 galaxies. (110 million light-years)
_hydra supercluster:_ contains only about 157 galaxies of which only 1 is "rich" and that is the hydra cluster.
_centaurus supercluster:_ contains only 100 galaxies, about as many as the Virgo or Hydra clusters.
_laniakea supercluster:_ encompasses approximately 100,000 galaxies stretched out over 160 Mpc (520 million ly).
i think the confusing part here is that the word "super" is used unrelated to the orders of magnitude in terms of galaxy amounts, but in terms of areal coverage.
in all fairness tho, i look at those pictures and it doesn't make any sense unless they mistook clusters for galaxies when they looked through their scopes......

here's a page with some maps & explanations that go deeper into the smaller stuff, but also show the location of earth in the universe
i hope i was more helpful than the other 2 xd
@Trockenfurz
Yours was better.
So the Virgo supercluster is half the galaxies of the Laniakea supercluster in 100m lightyears, the other 400m lightlears contain the other half?
The confusing part is then shouldn't the virgo supercluster be the great attractor as it is the highest density in the region? In the picture it looks like a tiny part of it with confuses further
So we are always moving in every direction you can think of and yet we are still here nothings hit earth our galaxy isn't shredded by a black hole something isn't adding up
Can’t scare me with this
It's other people who inhabit this planet that are what we should be afraid of

Love the ending pop-up, "Thanks for watching!", with a smiley face, after telling everyone -- humans and the universe will eventually fade away.
Wait so we’ve been lied to the whole time by people saying the universe is expanding when it’s actually converging? 🤔
@philadlamini5386 when everything is being sucked into a black hole that’s convergence lol
@axenik He said in the video that we'll never reach that point because the universe is expanding faster than the supercluster is pulling us in. Since spacetime itself is expanding, no force can combat that. It's like if you were running a race and the track kept getting bigger so you could never reach the finish line. There's no convergence of the universe. There's expansion of the universe, and there's gravity, which is what is pulling our galaxy and the others around us into the supercluster.
The Earth is hurtling towards something strange, and we have the CGI pictures to prove it.
The fact that we can never explore all of (or any of) the galaxies out there makes me sad 😢
You never know; wormholes may exist!
We can.
Unless you mange to become immortal 5hen andromeda will come for you…😂

Thanks for explaining that in understandable language and with a little bit of humor. I'm glad you didn't overdo it, as otherwise, it becomes one of those annoying videos that are more about how (not) funny the maker is rather than the topic itself. And your smile is beautiful :-)

-Nothing can exceed the speed of light
-The Universe is 13,6 billion years old
-The Universe is 93 billion light years across
Something isn't right.
expansion of the universe cuts of causal links
You should do a little research into the nuances of light speed being the speed limit, then these points will make sense.
@@daxramdac7194 Humans in overall have absolutely no clue of these things yet... what comes to the very essence of space and time, we just don't know. There are things like dark matter and other stuff, theorized to magically explain it all... but surprise surprise - hasn't been detected yet. My guess is, we never will, but instead might some day in future realize how this all REALLY works. Wasn't too long ago, when those who said Earth is not flat, were burned alive in public.
And thanks for asking - been doing "little" research of these things some 30+ years, is my work.

I know. It’s called all-out fascism. Buckle up, everyone.
@6:23 The crate attractor may not be a physical thing and if it is, it may not be a massive thing. It could also work in conjunction with the collective gravity of all the galaxies in the area. if you have thousands of galaxies in close proximity to each other they will attract each other. If you zoom out far enough and look at those thousands of galaxies, it changes your perspective and shows that they are actually relatively close and if you picture a bowl or a ball, it's probably about what they look like, And will eventually collapse due to gravity, and it would be obvious
