Its said that if you were to put the universe's time span from the big bang to its end in a 24 (or 12?) hour clock, the current age of the universe (~13,000,000,000 years) wouldn't even strike the first 30 seconds of the clock.
The "Big Rip" is the idea that the fabric of the universe is expanding so quickly, and is still accelerating in its expansion, that everything will eventually rip apart, even atoms themselves and the particles that make up the atoms.
Yeah, I've often wondered about how many big bangs may have happened, since nature is cyclical. Probably endless worlds, endless experiences. Nuts to think about
Even more mind boggling if you consider the possible infinite cycles, but even if you think of only a handful of them times the final year counter. . . Infinite is bad enough to imagine but a super large finite number makes it seem much much longer to me. LOL.
My youngest, an undergrad at Cambridge aiming for a postgrad studies in cosmology, listens to Handel's "Triumph of Time and Truth" while writing. He says it gets him in the right place to consider the unimaginable - such as the inconceivable scale of the multiverse. I, on the other hand, often forget what day it is. 😅
The Boltzmann brain paradox is based on the idea that if a system has an infinite number of particles, there will be at least one instance where the particles would make something structured. For example, if you had a box of gas, and all the particles suddenly crammed themselves into one corner of the box, it's not physically impossible, but it's very unlikely. However, some say that given enough time, random fluctuations in energy levels can cause the creation of entire subatomic particles. In real life, matter pops into and out of existence all the time.
The idea that there is a possible state of the universe in which this is true, and given the rate of change you can assign a time scale to this is indeed mind boggeling. Though I would like to know how this could come about by gradual rather than random change, in a dark era universe. Not a very scientific data point.
The visualization from time in form of cubes somehow fits in a double way. I mean, there was a guy with funny white hair, a violin and a cheeky stick out tongue, who talks about space time and that its all the same...^^
That ending really.. threw me for a loop lol I just went down the "Boltzmann's Brain" rabbit hole n I gotta say.. despite the minor headache from my brain being overloaded lol it's actually pretty fascinating. A good video explaining the jist of it is "Are you a Boltzmann's Brain?"
I read an article a few years ago that ruminated over time. In it the author tried to dissuade people from thinking of time as a scale to measure the duration of actions, and instead encouraged re-framing as the rate at which actions occur. This was to better connect with the concept of relativity. I think they called "time" something like "the rate of entropy". In general, the more mass you have warping space, the slower the physics in that space will occur.
"There is a mountain, 2 miles high and a half mile tall. Every year a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. When the entire mountain is worn away, the first second of eternity shall pass." A Grimm's fairy tale if i remember correctly...this made me think of that.
I would suggest you watch: Timelapse of the Future: A Journey to the End of Time by Melodysheep. It is about half an hour long but It's really good and explains some of those eras from this video
This got me a frustration laugh and a spontaneous tear, it really does put thing into perspective, Infinity is it's own realm of thought like others dimensions and what if scenarios, thanks for the usual existential crisis lol keep it up^^.
Yes! When you first reacted to an MBS video I hoped you would eventually get around to this one. I never thought cubes and big numbers could give me an existential crisis but here we are.
A Boltzmann brain is the idea that in the right conditions (which are more likely mathematically speaking than our brains having had form) a thinking and sentient mind could form via matter forming in just the right way on a solar / galactic scale
Imagine if this entire span of time that they illustrated in the video has actually happen many many many times over already? There’s no real reason to believe that it hasn’t or can’t
10^10^52 is time during witch probability of Boltzmann brain (energy structure that have all inner qualities of human brain) appearing spontaneously among nowhere due to quantum fluctuations becomes 1 (=100%). 10^10^56 is time during witch probability of universe as we perceive it appears through big bang (and all that evolution of matter and life) becomes 1 (=100%). So... reality is 10^10^4 times more probably _hallucination of Boltzmann brain_ than what we used to think it is. And we all are it's imaginary friends, not much more...
So, at around 300km^3 is when Tim gets actually buys a round down the pub ... 🤣 There is a point with numbers where you just get to point of "oh just f--- off, it's a big, silly number" (or small, of course!). I was expecting the Planck time at the small end, but the big numbers are ... stultifying! Books: Hmmm, interesting - I'd suggest Longitude which among other things covers the development of the Harrison clocks to be used for accurate time-keeping on naval vessels. The Time Machine by HG Wells would be another, and one more could be The Firever War by Joe Haldeman (sorry, both SF!) Music: Got to be Time, by Pink Floyd (LMAO - you JUST referenced that track as I finished typing it! Now I'll have to think of another one!) Ok, how about The Midnight Hour by ... by ... by .. oh hell, mind has gone to sleep ... Roxy Music!!!
I'm digging this channel! Very different. Not just popular culture reviews. Have you reacted to the Hadrian Collider in Switzerland. Quirks, Bosons, and forgot other one they found, "the god particle." Lol... also... The physics behind the need for parallel dimensions in the universe to our observable dimensions.This is great! Keep it up
I looked up Boltzmann Brains and it just made me think about all those monkeys pecking away at typewriters somewhere. I firmly believe in the cyclical universe. It is a bit humbling to think that we aren’t the first nor particularly special in the Grand Scheme of Things. If you haven’t heard it, a nice song about time is “Time” by Alan Parsons Project; or you can listen to “Time,” by Electric Light Orchestra which is an entire album. Another fun physics-related song is “Third Rock From The Sun” by Joe Diffe. Being a fan of Prog Rock, I know of a lot of songs with a time bent to them. One last suggestion is “The Pentateuch of the Cosmogony” by Dave Greenslade and Patrick Woodroffe. I apologize if I’ve suggested this before, but it’s pretty trippy.
Zooms out to a crescendoing orchestra. Hits incomprehensible levels of time, music changes to techno. We have entered the techno music era in which no thought can be completed.
*You are writing books upon the minds that see the brilliance of the mind, heart and gift that you as a person hold in the hearts of my hands could love the pages that you, as a woman to which the world is a candle. You're spark is creating the space of expansion.*
I was always into "altered states of mind" type of stuff, and I remember that during one episode when I was experimenting with psychedelics my perception of time was such that I was able to understand the beginning and the end (physical), but not able to accept the beginning or end of it as a concept... it's just there... and this was the result of a simple chemical reaction, which made me think even more about the perception of everything... nothing too epochal, just a short sum of the night with $20 worth of chemistry running through my system for a couple of hours. Either way, I love to see people getting excited by these kinds of stuff. All the best!
"TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time" in a similar fashion, perhaps in a more poetic way shows the unfathomable lifespan of the universe. With the risk of it being completely wrong it's still a beautiful take and entertaining to watch.
'Time Has Told Me' by Nick Drake is nice, melancholic song, from his first album Five Leaves Left. I've heard A Forest before, but the others were new to me, enjoyed them both.
The "Big Rip" posits that the ever accelerating expansion of the universe will continue to the point where even atoms can no longer maintain cohesion and the dark energy of expansion will literally "rip" everything apart. It is the opposite of "The Big Crunch" which posits that eventually the expansion will slow down and then everything will start rushing back together.
I like trying to imagine vast expanses of time. One I came up with recently while painting the house was to imagine painting a wall every 10 years. If you did this for as long as life has been on the planet ( about 3 billion years), how thick would the paint be on that wall? About 37 miles thick...
I'm gutted they didn't show the amount of time it would take for shuffled packs of playing cards to repeat its order 8.006 x 10^67. Vsauce has a great video on this called Math Magic.
Books: Stephen Hawking "A brief history of time", James Gleick "Time travel: A history" , H.G. Wells "The Time Machine", Audrey Niffenegger "The time traveler's wife" Music: The Rolling Stones "Time waits for no one" and "Time is on my side", Hans Zimmer "Time"
The iron star theories have been the latest developments I heard from. But even the evaporation of black holes ~ 10^100 years is an amount of time noone can comprehend anymore. I think there's a good change for some low probability "big bang-like" catastrophe to happen on that timescale and then something new starts. The alternative is being locked in a dying universe where every particle will float sepearately forever in complete emptyness.
Like space can curve like the surface of a sphere, maybe also time and size/scale curve like a sphere (we cant see that small scale yet) Watching the tinyest eventually reveal the universe (we are also not there yet). And sperical time is beyond my imagination.
If you've never seen it it would be cool to see your take on the _Impossible Dream_ advert by Honda. The best version I've found on RUclips is on the channel _The Hall of Advertising._
The universe is one of an infinite number of universes that expand when adjacent regions of opposite cosmological angular momentum are in contraction and contract when adjacent regions of opposite cosmological angular momentum are in expansion thus forming an oscillating multiverse (or Yin-Yang Multiverse Model).
If you like these time-based ones, might I suggest the video from the "Crash Course Astronomy" series called "Deep Time?" I find it fascinating enough that i revisit it every so often.
Time by Pink Floyd. Its the classic! In fact, you'd probably enjoy all of Dark Side of The Moon. Its the journey/experience of life in musical form. If you have limited Time to listen to songs, this one will not be a waste of it.
With the latest discoveries by the JWST, we really don't know how ol the universe is anymore, not even the observable portions. Though unlikely, the age of the observable portion could now be as high as 28 billion years. We also now can confirm that the shape of the universe is flat, though it may have a slight curve and if infinitely large, would make it a Torus. But basically, there is an up and a down, though really not perceivable to us.
Careful with the meaning of the words. We never knew, or know now, anything of what you said. The correct idea is "the currently accepted theories and hipotesis of the scientific comunity" is that ... There is no holy bible of truths in science. That is what makes science what it is. Religions and priest (and influencers, and popular scientific comunicators) are the ones that talk about what science "knows".
If you haven't read it already I can highly recommend, the God particle by Leon Ledermam, a very informative and humorous look at the history of particle physics and an explanation of some of the more deeper theories found in physics.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure How amazingly unlikely is your birth And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space 'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth
Most people don't know that no one is getting out alive. First big hurdle is the loss of the moon. Then the collision with Andromeda, the the death of the sun. We don't have a lot of time to vacate the area. I think I got that order right.
After seeing this you need to see Melodysheep's Timelapse of the Future, it goes into a lot of the events mentioned in this video and gives an explanatory look at all of this.
You will never know what infinity looks like never!! Cause it never ends!! We will never comprehend eternity/infinity, cause by definition we are finite..so imean🤷🏾♂️

Maybe, but most of its lifetime will be a blackhole-filled wasteland anyway. So we're right in the middle of the "good time".
Its said that if you were to put the universe's time span from the big bang to its end in a 24 (or 12?) hour clock, the current age of the universe (~13,000,000,000 years) wouldn't even strike the first 30 seconds of the clock.

Yeah, I've often wondered about how many big bangs may have happened, since nature is cyclical. Probably endless worlds, endless experiences. Nuts to think about
crazy to think that you've experienced this exact life and an infinite number of lives an infinite number of times and will continue to forever
Even more mind boggling if you consider the possible infinite cycles, but even if you think of only a handful of them times the final year counter. . . Infinite is bad enough to imagine but a super large finite number makes it seem much much longer to me. LOL.
