      Nothingness would expand into infinity. Nothingness (0) doesn't represent a permanent location. Therefore, that could become (+0.0-0.0) x (6 or n). In that case, the size of the universe could become 0 to 0.0. But according to my calculation, the universe converted from 0 to 0.00000 with a mathematical relationship, making the elementary particles, forces, etc. In that case, the size of the universe initial universe was +0.00000-0.00000, and the infinity in the universe was located between +0.00000 and -0.00000. But the universe could continue at the edge (at +0.00000 and -0.00000), making more and more dimensions. The absolute time must continue if there is something (time) even if there is nothing (not even space). And that is why the relative time emerged. Relativeness of the time dimensions is the energy (the universe). The relative time doesn't stop the absolute time in any case. But the relative time can stop relatively. Many directional moments at a moment can make the entire universe while increasing the moments with the expansion of the universe. So the universe is growing making directional moments. Best of luck.

      This is great, but i Believe that the infinite void is only truly converted by something I e actual Materiality existeance levels that encompass all actual consciousness dimensions. The void space to Materiality conversion processes have to interact with ‘pure void’ because in its own eternality it predates in ways even the existence of God and God forms. Thus it can only be re identified to any form by the highest Materiality frequency intensity available creation wide, then void integration with dimensions substance begins, thus ‘the best’ is sent to convert ‘the most difficult’ do you find that this makes ‘ structural sense’?

    Cosmology and Physics are my favourite fields of learning. I am in my late 60s but still full of curiosity and wonder. This channel has long been and still remains one of my favourites. There was no such thing as the internet when I grew up and was in my 30s before I got my first computer and I believe this fact allows me to appreciate the current information age so much more than people who have never known anything else. The fact that a working-class guy like myself has all this knowledge and learning, not to mention art and culture at my fingertips, a mouse click away still excites and amazes me. The nearest thing to today,s communication network was the Starship Enterprise and its gadgets! I never imagined back then that such wonders would become easily available! I remember seeing their communication devices resembling today's mobile phones and laptops and thinking they would remain in the imagination of science fiction writers! How blessed we are!

      From one Steve also in his late 60s to another, that's exactly how I feel. How things have changed since we were kids. I remember about 20 years ago, I saw the James Cameron documentary called "Aliens of the Deep". It's a fantastic doco. Anyway, JPL- NASA Astrobiologist and Mineralogist Pamela Conrad (now 69 years old) was in a deep submersible submarine testing out a life-detecting laser which would be used on the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity and Perseverance. She made a remark that would be lost on most people. She's testing this laser in a submarine at maybe 1000 meters depth, and having a great time and laughing her head off she says "This is way better than the cardboard box". It immediately reminded me when I was a kid and we would play inside refrigerator sized cardboard boxes. With sticks, tape and marker pens we'd make them into submarines, planes, boats, spaceships etc. and we'd have a grand old time playing and using our imagination. It was so much fun. I think that's what she was talking about, and probably blown away that she finally made it into the real thing.
      Kids don't do that today, because now they have computers and a whole range of virtual worlds to get lost in. Sure, they're great, but I still have fond memories of the cardboard box submarines and spaceships. And we had the fantastic experience of watching the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs landing men on the Moon. Wow! Those were the days. I'll bet you're looking forward to our return to the Moon, and like me, enthralled by Spacex, and probably hoping that we live long enough to see humans walking on Mars.

    11 years ago before podcasts were as big as they are now, I was deployed in the mountains of Afghanistan and the only connection to the outside world was what we had saved on hard drives. No phone, no internet, just two way radio and paper mail. I had an hour~ long audio recording ripped from a CD that was all about infinity (which I have unfortunately lost the name to)- this video was the first thing I've heard since then that has combined the human and scientific aspects of this subject in a way that was able to stir up the feelings that my original recording was able to do over a decade ago.

We were making our way across the open desert in our strykers ( was with 2CR at the time) and we saw a large, glowing "sphere" that had bright orange light emanating from it. It was maybe 30 to 40 feet above the ground and went east to west at a pace I'd estimate to be at about 5 mph. The entire platoon saw it. We radioed it up to x-ray (HQ) and our MI guy put it into the debrief. Apparently the unit that owned the battlespace west of us saw it too and experienced the same thing. Have no clue what the hell it was. Not saying it was a UFO, but it damn sure wasn't anything anyone had ever seen before. There was a weird "statically" feeling in the air as it passed.

      If it helps shed some context on the immensity of TREE(3), check out the wikipedia page for Graham's number. For years, Graham's number was the largest number used in a published mathematical proof. Special notation has to be used, just to apply the most naive "understanding/extrapolation" of it (I think it's called Knutt's UPArrow notation)....anyway, if you can wrap your head around how inconceivable Graham's number is, and then accept that it's dwarfed into nothingness by TREE(3) you may like where you're at. The wikipedia page for Graham's number is heady, but at least somewhat understandable....

      Mathematically it also requires that you be able to observe a larger infinity than the infinity you hope to understand, and how do you ever know you are the largest infinity? If your capacity to observe the space of the universe is the speed of light, and the entire universe is infinitely large and is expanding at some constant rate that isn't infinitesimal; then a point in space at some distance away from you (not even infinitely far away from you, at a distance that is calculatable based on the speed of universe expansion) is moving away from you faster than you can ever hope to approach it or even see it. You can thus have an infinite area of space to observe, but can never observe or interact outside of a specific bubble of infinite space.
      There could be an infinite number of these bubbles of infinity within a bigger space, and only an entity larger than the infinity that divides these bubbles could observe both of these bubbles unless they can interact.

      I do think one can go mad trying to fully comprehend infinity, if that’s even possible, which I doubt. This is the reason I had to give up chess. Once I got decent at it all I could see where seemingly more possibilities but a slowing of actual action. To be a grandmaster might well be accepting a life of madness in which all that really matters is chess. Is such a life worthwhile?

      We must Take caution to not Impose Things from one category on another one.
      To see what i mean, consider this seemingly simple Question, of which i think, that it resembles the Question about the universe.
      The Question is: If anything in Time has a beginning and end, when did time itself began and when will it end?
      For you must See, that all Relation is relative to a underlying Thing. It seems to be needed, that a Last one must be there, for Else it would go into Infinity. But maybe this is the only possible conclusion. That the ultimate is Infinite and thereby nothing in Relation to it and anything.
      In talking about time, it would amount to the Thing called 'now'.
      Maybe this is, what is meant, when it says 'to know, that you dont know.' For it is possible to know, that the ultimate cannot be known, Just by understanding the simultanious necessity and Impossibility of it. It cannot be spoken of this.
      To understand this might be wisdom. To Not do so, maybe the path to insanity.

She will live and die...her entire observable Universe in my backyard...oblivious of her abduction, unaware of the stars, ignorant of the cell phone in my pocket...that the hand that just held her is typing this very comment...in a language she will never know...to communicate via light, to a species she cannot fathom.

      Indeed, it seems to me that if absolute nothing were to exist beside something, then it would contradict itself faster than both existence or nonexistence.
      The universe operates on the principle of non-contradiction, which is the reason for "reason", study, rationality, and intelligence itself.
      In the same vein, will is required to create will, and intelligence is required to create intelligence.
      As it would be ridiculous to claim that order is an extension of chaos, as chaos itself cannot fundamentally exist - except as a limitation of the observer.
      It's inconvenient for many, but that we exist at all is an irrefutable argument for intelligent design.

      From the beginning of my becoming conscious
      every one of my thoughts has been about something.
      Thus when I try to imagine absolute nothing
      I find I can do it only when I am not conscious.
      Curiously, when my self is not conscious,
      it seems to my self that my self is non existent.
      The seeming is not over the duration of my non existence, of course,
      for then there is only absolute nothing,
      but only when my self is conscious, existent and
      reflecting on the experiential gap in my memory and
      the contrast between the state of the world before and after.
      I think the fact that
      my self exists only when my self is conscious and
      my self is conscious only when my self exists,
      renders the phrase 'conscious self' something like redundant.
      ('Self conscious' on the other hand,
      is simply my self being conscious of my self's existence,
      my self as just another thing of which my self can be conscious).
      When I try to imagine the infinite I fail and
      I think this is because no matter how much I imagine
      there is an infinite amount remaining to be included
      (and my thinking is a process}.

      ​@piterpraker3399 Have you not heard of emergent properties before? Something can gain new properties that its constituent parts did not have. "Wetness" is an emergent propert for example. Intelligence and will are just emergent properties of the brain which is made of matter.
      If you needed will or intelligence to come from previous will or intelligence you'd have an infinite regress, or you'd have to draw an arbitrary line at "god", without even proving that as a possibility in the first place.
      Intelligent design is not a coherent theory that matches reality, it's trying to fit reality to match religion. It's the opposite of science where you start with a conclusion and to find evidence to support it.
      So again, have you not heard of emergent properties?
      And, before positing religion or supernatural things as explanations, remember that that doesn't answer anything as none of that has been proven before. It's offering a solution to a problem when the solution itself is a problem.

    • @BorisJensen
      @BorisJensen Год назад

      It's a combination of factors. In the list of trees, the n'th tree cannot have more than 1 node. So the first tree can have only 1 node. That means that if any tree after that first tree has a node with the same colour as the first tree (green), then it contains the first tree as a subtree, and would therefore be illegal. So any trees after the first must be another colour. And since we are talking about Tree(2), then we only have 2 colours, so all subsequent trees must be the same colour (red). Since the second tree can have maximum of 2 nodes, we have a choice of having either 1 or 2 red nodes in that tree. If we choose 1 ree node, then every tree after that would be illegal, because it would either contain the first tree or the second tree as a subtree. If we choose 2 trees, them they must be connected, and so any subsequent trees that contain 2 connected red nodes would be illegal. So the only legal 3rd tree would be a single red node, and after that all trees are illegal. So Tree(2) is 3, since it is the length of the largest series of trees of 2 colours that follow those rules. If you had a tree that branched out into many branches, it would either have too many nodes for its place in the list, or contain a previous tree as a subtree.

    • @BorisJensen

    One of my earliest memories is arriving logically at the frontier with the infinite. I was playing in the living room of my childhood home one summer afternoon and I remember having just watched some astronomy documentary on TV with my dad the night before. I was constructing a model of the universe based on what I had seen, starting with my local position on a planet orbiting a sun, sun orbiting a galaxy, and then as they say, the galaxies disperse and the universes expands. I arrived at some primitive notion of a ball getting bigger but understood that the universe seemed to be all there could be, and that for there to be a boundary, you needed a contrasting 'not-being' that defines the boundary to 'being', and the inevitable "What Is Beyond The Edge?(!)". I was scrambling to imagine a boundary to 'not-being' beyond the on to 'being' in order to 'capture' totality, but boom... It was a peak experience, I felt hyper perceptive and suddenly aware of the truly mysterious state that I found myself in as a human child. I often say it felt like all of my guts where falling out of my, kind of like looking up at an impossibly large object, or down from a height, like tingly gonads and butterflies in my belly. A defining moment for sure.
    Anyway, I just wanted to share this article I found a while ago, it's from 1990, fully sourced with notes etc. Basically, it gives a really strong argument for the Big Bang hypothesis being based on a misinterpretation due to fundamental assumptions that have been experimentally and observationally disproven.
    Given the alarming rates of megalomania and utterly petty and vicious personal attacks these neurotics rail against each other just for having differing opinions! Really, I think academia, specifically the physical sciences, are totally ridden with this. Additionally, when you understand how one culture's breakthroughs can become the foundational assumptions of subsequent cultures, and how early Greek thought undermines all of western intellectual pursuit, I reckon they probably just inherited that queasiness about something that can't be contained within the rational or imaginative faculties. I guess it sucks to know you can never know....

      I've overthought about religion, the universe, and anything life related since 2019. People who go mad from what they learn are people who can't handle what they discover. Personally I've found that learning as much as i have has helped me realize how poorly our society has been constructed, how we do nothing to fix it. Helped me to realize that God , and my spirit, were nothing I thought they were. At the end of the day, when you die, at the very least you won't be you. You wont care because you're not in your body with the name you were given anymore. None of that matters. And most people don't wanna hear that.

    That part about the fractals made on the computer and how you can keep zooming in brought up a great memory. So in 1994 I was draftsman for Nabisco, mostly on the board but computers were coming into age and I would occasionally do work on autocad and I realized that you could zoom in on a drawing infinitely. So I thought I would make a romantic gesture to my office fling, which would have been frowned on at work. I miss being young and handsome? Now I'm old and farty. Anyways I showed a copy of some work I had turned in too her. She said so what and I said come check this out. I brought the drawing up on computer and said look at that dot, now zoom in on it. Well we zoomed and zoomed and it still was just a point, but it can be infinite in these drawings so at some point that dot began to read the words "Todd loves Angie ........". It's part of Nabisco's catalogue of final prints.

    I loved thinking about infinities as a kid. I think it's unhelpful though to call infinity a number in any sense. Rather it's a function, or much rather a range of functions, used like numbers. I feel when looking at the quantisation of infinities they become incompatible with finite quantisation. When comparing the length of y=x^2 to y=2x for instance it ignores what is definable. These are not free infinites. They are constrained. When questioning whether the universe is infinite you are not dealing with a yes or no. If it were a free infinity consistency enough to define physics even in a pocket seems unlikely. So if the universe is infinite, but constrained, what is the function of that constraint? What, despite it being infinite, is excluded? If it is finite and our universe defines space/time completely is this the only place that a universe can exist because this is the only place that has existence of 'place'? If matters of physics break down at a definition of before or beyond the universe (finite or some function of infinite) it may become less of a measurement and more of defining whether the function that defines constraint of our existence and the function that defines existence of 'beyond' has points of intersection or not, but that maybe more mathematical than sensical. I admit I'm not a mathematician or physicist, just a preschool teacher, so I maybe babbling but I do find it fun to think about.

      yeah its pretty much how you wana think when dealing with topics like this come to think about it word infinitive could be something actually far more simple than we imagined say a self creating loop that has a creator which depending on either it pleases to stop or not the loop either goes on or it gets destroyed the loop itself can create an illusion theres no end to it but in reality if you just cut the source of creation of it it will end simple as that however if you dont it just goes on depending on the command of the creator. Imagine counting 1,2,3,4,5......... every time you make a count you either remember a bigger number or if you dont know such you make one up think about it whats the real reason numbers get bigger? is it the fact that they existed beforehand or the fact that you remembered the next bigger value or made them up or perhaps that the numbers already existed beforehand to the point where they can never stop growing? obviously the second because they cant really exist if you havent made them up yet which means infinity in this case is nothing more than just repeating actions in your own mind,sure its possible to go on for a very long time but there is most definitely a limit to that meaning no matter how much you count those numbers there WILL be a point you will stop and that point is the point this infinity in this case ends of course someone can start from where you left but even in this case there will be an ending point to where he can no longer count more numbers(either coz he would die or get bored), do note it would get EXTREMELY hard to calculate the point from which those numbers could end so thats why its simplier to mark them as never ending rather than assigning an exact point at which they can no longer be imagined any further by say any human being thats capable of making more of them up

      Dude. What’s up? Haha. I quite enjoyed your comment. Never thought about it as a function. I like that! Also the : “you’re not dealing with a yes or no.” 😀Truth is, we don’t have any concrete measure of time. A new method was just discovered, involving Rydberg wave packets!! So will see what that yields. But we know that space/time is affected by forces of gravity. Also a new discovery is the emergence of matter from light. Beyond all this, there’s probably either more to physics, iterations, or just completely different things. Perhaps it’s not infinity contained. But finity within eternity/infinite.

    I often stand outside on a clear night, stare into the sky and wonder just how far it goes. It's a question that has occasionally inspired me to Google for the answer, knowing full well that there isn't one. I've tried to come up with simple ideas, such as that at some distance from earth there's a wall - that we're essentially living inside a large sphere. However, if that was the case then there'd be something on the other side of that wall and then how far would that go? Our minds can grasp the concept of infinite numbers, because it's something which is tangible - you can write them on a piece of paper or print them out. If you had enough paper and enough time you could see some pretty big numbers, but you'd still never see the 'end'. The numbers would just keep getting larger. Even so, that's something we can appreciate. The trouble with trying to grasp the concept of what is beyond this universe is we have nothing to write down or print out - there is no way to represent it in our mind.
