There's no math (that I know of or have tried to imagine) to measure how Jo Dunkly's passion for cosmology affects those who learn from her. But my theory is that her passion and love for what she teaches is the most powerful force for knowledge in the universe.
Brilliant. I've read and heard about these subjects many times and in this lecture, I at last was able to understand why, for instance, we see only one strip of our galaxy and not a more complex structure. I always thought we were just seeing one arm of it. Now I know we see "all of it" on a two dimensional flat line. Thank you for your teaching talent and your precious time.

I find it surprising that she's only seen the Milky Way a few times. I've been looking at it all my life. I do live at 8,000' and hundreds of miles from the nearest city. I often camp at up to 13,000'. I grew up thinking that everyone saw it regularly.
I have not seen it for years. Namely since I stopped doing open ocean yachting and since the villages close to where we live all put up the orange streetlights.
Is the universe expanding, or are stars just getting further apart? As a kid i remember seeing the dots on a balloon analogy, showing how every point is getting further from every other point, but i noticed the dots got bigger too. I worried that all atoms were getting further apart, and atoms were also expanding. The distance to london getting bigger all the time, but cars and people got bigger too so no one noticed the change but if the speed of lights fixed then the universe would appear to get smaller ? then if speed is distance over time and all the distances were getting bigger light would stay the same speed but actually go fast as a meter is also expanding. i was quite confused :-)
Same here. I'm confused but the way I try and imagine it is that everything is expanding but there is also local movement within a universe's boundary. If there is such a boundary My hands, the keyboard I'm typing on, the screen I'm looking at, the walls in this room and all from there to the shape of this universe's visible edge are all expanding equally. But there are local movements that we can easily see. The stars, solar systems, planets, planes, cars and ants can move closer (or further away) relative to each other Expansion is universal and invisible to the eye, because your eye, the object you can see and the photons of light are all also expanding equally. Movement within this expansion being merely directional and easily measurable, therefore causing my confusion? Help please! (8
If everything is moving away from everything, why is Andromeda moving toward us instead of away from us and other galaxies merging as well? Does the merging mean the the Universe expanded and is now contracting, or that the Universe is expanding and contracting simultaneously, expanding and contracting being a local phenomena?
The earth is not 100 times smaller than the Sun, like she said. That is just the diameter which can be misleading. It is more like 1,300,000 Earths will fit into one Sun.

It was easy to relate to in the manner in how you explained the theory. as a laymen I found out things that peaked my interest ....and now because of your efforts I will continue to look at our cosmos in a new and exciting way...I commend you on your work...

She is wonderful presenter, and gave high density of information with 0 mistake and I love how she trying to bring alife the women contribution to cosmology and astrophysics, across the history who always been covered and hidden by men .
Really like her dress, especially the color . Or should I write colour. Enjoyed the presentation though it was pretty basic, must have been, I actually understood it, or think I did, most of it. Appreciated the candor re dark energy. "We call it dark energy because we don't know what it is. "
The 73% hydrogen and 25% helium abundances that exists throughout the universe today comes from the condensation period during the first three minutes. The 2% of nuclei more massive than helium present in the universe today were created later in stars. www2.lbl.gov/abc/wallchart/chapters/10/0.html
Helium nuclei would have existed from very early on (per the theory of big bang nucleosynthesis), but would not have formed true helium atoms until the universe cooled enough for the nuclei to capture electrons, which is exactly the time when the universe stopped being opaque, so called Recombination (they apparently named it before everyone agreed that nuclei and electrons had never combined before).
She’s awesome. I love how she highlighted female astronomers. Are we to some small extent made of elements we actually created, here on earth, by nuclear explosions or other means?
A weird hypothesis I have is that IF space (quantum space) is expanding at an exponential function (Tangent function), and if 0=infinite in quantum distances (allows for particle entanglement since 0= infinity in the quantum distance measurement). Eventually the universe's quantum space will "SNAP" and INSTEAD of a bounce it will be like a tangent function (go from infinite to - infinite (another big bang will occur).
Ok so planets are essentially invisible. So why is this not the dark matter we are looking for? There could be trillions of them and equal the mass that is missing. What am I missing here???
I really enjoyed this presentation which explains in a very clear way some very interesting history and highlights some of the main unexplained features of our universe. I particularly welcome the invitation from Jo to participate as an amateur in trying to find solutions to the question of dark matter and dark energy. I have been working on these problems for some time and I can see that the problem of not being able to identify the dark matter particle is that it is not a single particle but a group of two or more neutrons bonded together. This would be like an atomic nucleus with just neutrons so no electric charge and would only be apparent from its gravitational effect. The problem of dark energy is quite different. Firstly, you need to consider that there is a unique frame of reference in the universe which is called the CMB rest frame. We know this from observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. The measurement of this CMB rest frame from the Milky Way shows that we are moving at a speed of 552 km/s within this rest frame and this movement is due to the expansion of space. This means that we can identify a particular point in space which I call the CMB rest point. Then the model of expansion of space is that all galaxies are moving away from the CMB rest point at a speed depending on the distance from the CMB rest point. We can think of the CMB rest point as the centre of the universe and Hubble's law tells us that we are located approximately 26 million light years from the centre. Now when it comes to interpreting the observations of distant galaxies, it is the distance of the galaxy from the CMB rest point which is important. The distant galaxies seem to be receding more slowly than we expected but this is not due to the expansion of the universe accelerating. Instead it is because our observation results of red shift versus distance are not linear. See also: www.academia.edu/5009126/The_evolution_of_the_universe Richard
@@nevermindmindn Hello Vegie. The conclusion that dark matter is not normal matter has been made by looking at all of the individual particles in the standard model and showing that none of these individual particles could be dark matter. No-one has considered that it could be a bonded particle. Two neutrons bonded together would have all the properties of dark matter in that they would not react with photons and they would be evident from their gravitational effect. Richard
13:16 I'm sorry, but is there ANY actual evidence whatsoever that, "as a woman at that time you weren't allowed to use a telescope"? Any evidence at all??? I'm not asking for evidence that women didn't often _choose_ to use telescopes (the way that men don't often _choose_ to work at daycare centers today). I'm asking for evidence that they weren't _allowed_ to use telescopes. As in: which woman said, "Actually, I'd like to use the telescope myself, sir.", and was told by her male colleagues, "Well, I'm sorry sweetheart, but you're not allowed to use our telescopes since you're a woman." If you can't provide any actual supporting evidence, then this statment is no less absurd than someone in 2032 saying, "Of course, back in 2022, as a man, you weren't _allowed_ to work at a daycare center." (which, despite the fact that most men in 2022 don't _want_ to work at daycare centers, we know is a completely false statement-- in fact, it's a lie).
The Great Attractor is simply a central gravitational anomaly inside Laniakea. Apparently Laniakea isn't even gravitationally bound thus it's superclusters will disperse over time. Plus the mentioned Attractor only speeds down the dispersion, it cannot overcome it.
@rancid sausage It's really not much mass; a stellar system is generally about 99% star, 1% not-star. And the mass of a galaxy isn't all star. So you could have a lot of dark planets and still not enough mass to matter.
There are basic units in physics within the framework of the so-called SI system: • Meter (length): Defined since 1983 about the speed of the vacuum light
Jo, you say the red shift suggests that galaxies are moving away from us, expanding. May I borrow your piece of elastic? I'll use it as a ruler. If the ruler is shrinking, rather than the universe expanding, we achieve the same effect; except we don't now need dark matter, or dark energy (when we find the rate of expansion is increasing). What this implies is that the First Cosmological Principle is wrong. This states that the laws of time space, matter, physics - are the same throughout all space and time. Why should that be so? Everything else changes. We see entropy in everything except your one unchanging law. If e=mc2, OK, but what if c is a changing parameter? What if the distant galaxies are red-shifted not because they are receding, but because the light was generated a long time ago, when the relationship between energy, time and space was different?
My curiosity is with galaxies 1, 2, 5 and so on of billions of years old that are measured backwards then suggesting they come from one spot or point. Moreover, if the universe is growing in all directions and from only what already exists then it seems to me there are forces beyond our universe that are pulling it apart. This would explain why we are observing acceleration. Btw billions of years old observations may well be useless.
I think you should have made it clear that where we are here on this little planet of ours, is at the 'oldest' part of the Universe. ie we exist at the cutting edge of time. Furthermore, it is the same everywhere else in the Universe. But it is the 'slowness' of the speed of light that prevents any quicker form of communication. And consequently we see only the past wherever we look. If one does a mind experiment it is possible to understand this concept ; that the age of the Universe is the same everywhere. We are separated by time as much as by space. I think that you should tell everyone this fact . .
Details of planets 40 light years away, really?? And, could 'dark matter' be a result of galaxies distorting space/time, giving rise to gravity that appears to us as dark matter?
If the concept of a spiritual force cannot have any effect on a material body. >>> Then you have to explain the things like emotions, Love/hatred., jealousy, envy and rationality.

Big Bang... LHC, if we lived on one of those newly created, now able to view because we smashed atoms together, everything would look huuuuuuuge distances away... keep going up levels and down levels... ;)
The cuttout at the top right? The Hubble telescope has 4 sensors, one of them has a smaller field of view, for some tradeoff I have forgotten.That is the notch.
I know, your comment is from 5 years ago. But anyway,...The picture you see is not a single picture where something is cut out, it is a composition of a couple of smaller pictures put together. This way you can have a much greater resolution of the overall image. The reason that there are black squares on the top right is simply because they didnt take picture of those parts to include them in the composit image. The focus here is on the pillars themself, so the left out parts simply didnt have the importance for that purpose.

Hi. Before, when the universe was still opaque, there was helium?
The 73% hydrogen and 25% helium abundances that exists throughout the universe today comes from the condensation period during the first three minutes. The 2% of nuclei more massive than helium present in the universe today were created later in stars.
www2.lbl.gov/abc/wallchart/chapters/10/0.html
