I understand the title of the video might be attractive to a different type of "discussion", but it's the best I could think of given the nature of the topic. If that's what you want to post about, I don't mind, but also do post your thoughts on the subject as well :)
I'm sure you can, but can you call it a structure connected by similar parts? Possibly, depending on your reasoning. I've thought about it, but then we get into a discussion about the nature of Spacetime and "Nothing", which I've already covered in a recent video of mine.
As allways, very intresting things to think aboute ! i have an ideea for the next video if you want : What if we are the first civilization that will explore space ? Why we allaways think that are others more advanced ? We are waiting sings for 20-30 years and nothing. I understand that the space is BIG but for god sake, 2-3 bilions years old civilizations should have any sign of radio. Or... who knows, we wait radio waves to hear and they use quantum comunications...
Assuming Loop Quantum Gravity or other graph theoretic models where Planck volumes are connected to neighboring Planck volumes then a path that visits every Planck volume in the Universe will be the longest thing.
Hey man, you're getting better with each video! Just as tip though, try to make something out of that white space, or try focusing the video more around your chest and head areas. This will improve the quality of your videos, and hopefully, your subscribers!
I think that, if nothing doesn't exist, then that means that everything is somehow connected, as there is no separation in between things, because there is no nothing anywhere, so everything that exist is a structure connected by similar parts, so everything put together (it is already together) is the longest thing.
actually im a professor in the harvard school. the thought to be longest thing is essentially the "neuralosyui gallack" its the galactic string as one piece that is longer than our observable universe. it does not atrract any light so we are not sure if its longer than the observable universe certainly. but there are signs that it comes all the way from our non-observable universe.
Well, the Burj Khalifa is made up of atoms (resp. molecules) which have some "space" between them. That means that any structure like this isn't connected by "touching" (as in the commonly used meaning of "no space inbetween") but rather by electromagnetic forces. If this force counts as connection of a structure, why don't the other 3 fundamental forces count? The solar system is "connected" by gravity. Gravity is quite probably infinite (if it has infinite time to expand) so the "largest thing" would be a line starting from one end of the universe to whatever part the gravitational waves might have reached in that time. If you wanted to only count things that are "noticably connected" cosmic filaments might be rather huge. If string theory is correct, however, all things mentioned above wouldn't matter, because that string is still longer and actually "connected". (I, personally, think that this "space inbetween" of atoms still counts as touching, but I'm referring to the laymans use of the word here)
IMO, the longest thing we have made is roads. Someone in Argentina can touch a road at the same time as a person in New York, in effect they are connected by the same road.
I really apreciate your videos. They are very rich in information and images. I belive that if you tried to speak with lass pauses between words the experience would be improved even further. Thats just a suggestion, thought. Have a nice day.
if by 'thing' we mean a structure in space that it's parts have relation to one another then we can say that the longest thing in the universe is likely the diameter of the largest black hole we can find out there. another really long thing could be the ort cloud of a star. it stretches light years away from the star itself but it's still caused by the star's gravity so the entire content of the ort cloud is interlinked by gravity. These ort clouds of stars can be thousands of light years in diameter depending on the star's size and field of influence. We can also treat a nebula as a structure as it's technically an explosion so vast that it's still occurring as we see it and these are even 50+ light years in diameter. A structure of several gravitationally bound galaxies can also be treated as a structure so really anything can be the longest thing in the universe, depending on how you define 'thing'.

I'd suggest working on your sound quality a little. The information provided by the video is great, but it can be hard to understand what you are saying when you sound like you're talking in a tunnel.
Space X has footage of successful vertical landings. But, I don't think their over water. Putting a black backdrop when showing the scale of the sun in the Dyson's ring scenario might have been helpful. The string craps so theoretical it seems like space filler now days. Planting a ring around a red dwarf does sound cozy though. Much more manageable then the one in Ringworld.
so, as far as conformable objects go, wouldn't it be intergalactic filaments? I mean they're gravitationally bound, loosely satisfying the "connected" requirement, and they're mostly hydrogen, satisfying the "similar parts" requirement. Also, lacking a clear definition of "thing" in the scope of the argument, couldn't time qualify?
when talking about the longest thing are we talking about vastness or are we talking about just a length from point a to b? when asking what the longest thing is this should be considered in this case the most vast thing is the human imagination it can take you anywhere you want as to the longest thing when talking about point a to b than that is more than likely those proposed cosmic strings. In any case can you do what is the most vast thing next?
In that diagram of the sizes of the buildings, where the scales between the hypothetical buildings and the built buildings linearly correspondent? If so, brilliant diagram!
sharkee this may be a stupid ? and I'm sorry if it is, but these 1 dimensional strings with no width or height, that could potentially be as big as Earth,. IN YOUR opinion, do you think because of how dense and fact we can't truly perceive them, could they have something to do with gravity? I understand general relatively and basic quantum mechanics, im no expert, but now youv got me wondering if these one dimensional virtually huge but invisible strings could potentially be gravity. I may be way off base here but you seem like someone who likes to teach and I'm very interested in your opinion on universal and existence topics
+Kathie Dart - I can't tell what level of experience you are asking this with? An answer would be very different if you haven't yet learned about the multiverse, than it would if you agreed there is a universe, and very different agin if you believed a Sky Daddy created all of this in 6 days, 6,000 years ago.
That's pretty accurate, Anıl Ertürk. Good job. No, you can't trade space for time, because to measure distance through space using time, you will need a velocity or acceleration factor. So, a year is probably longer than a kilometer, since most moving objects would have moved over a kilometer in a year. In fact, even sloths can move fast enough to move nearly 35 kilometers in a year.
It is most natural to use the speed of light to convert time to distance and vise versa. So a year is a light year, which is clearly longer than a kilometer.
How does a 1d object have such a mass? Is "mass" in that case a measurement if how those string affect the space-time? Or are they made of "stuff"? Could they be related to Dark Matter?
I enjoy watching this since video you need more subscribers and also can you do something with the white background is kill my eyes:)) try something natural
+Kuldip Soliya problem is that 1 dim objects have no volume thus lack the density, same with 2d objects. its true about solid objects but didn't convey to particles or strings, I suppose
+NarutoSSj6 it's not volume based density it's length based density. normally unit of density is kg/m^3 but for length based density unit is kg/m if I'm not mistaken then density of string in physics mostly taken as linear density that is kg or g/m

Poor guy, prepare to get stormed by dick jokes
(I'm guilty too tho)
I am kinda missing time-space itself. Is there a reason you cannot classify this under a "thing" ?

the longest thing is probably contiguous, observable reality
Fantastic video. Keep up the good work, and the well-deserved recognition is sure to come :)

So, cosmic strings are like fault lines in spacetime? Given that they are so dense, yet unobservable, wouldn't they be a candidate for dark matter?

Since cosmic strings are still hypothetical, I'm sticking with galactic super clusters for the time being. They've been observed.

If cosmic strings exist (in the way we think they do). Would it be possible to use them to send information quickly over vast distances?
you are one hell of a teacher, thank you for making otherwise mediocre topics so interesting 👍
The longest thing in the world? The wait for a new Sharkee video.
@Sharkee you have too less viewers man!! hell awesome of a channel man!!
I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers
One thing that's recently bothered me about space elevators: wouldn't they act like a yo yo de-spin device on a rocket, and slow our rotation?
Space is continuous and stretches till the observable length of the universe. So I think space itself is the longest thing.
YES YOU UPLOADED!
Love your videos man

Sharkee, you rock!
How about using an energy beam, directed from the counterweight to the anchor; which the elevator climbs?
What about the light from the big bang? That wave would have to be of considerable size.
I'd suggest working on your sound quality a little. The information provided by the video is great, but it can be hard to understand what you are saying when you sound like you're talking in a tunnel.
The longest thing? The distance traveled by cosmic background radiation, or its respective waveform?
fantastic channel
Wanna know the longest thing?
The U.S. national debt, counting the length of the dollars from end to end.
Or the entire world's debt
Space X has footage of successful vertical landings. But, I don't think their over water. Putting a black backdrop when showing the scale of the sun in the Dyson's ring scenario might have been helpful. The string craps so theoretical it seems like space filler now days. Planting a ring around a red dwarf does sound cozy though. Much more manageable then the one in Ringworld.
So are these cosmic strings longer than the longest galactic superclusters or walls? And how about the Great Attractor?
gravity waves from 2 orbiting black holes could end up becoming fairly long
Would a space elevator be possible if the cable hung from an orbital ring?
good vid, needs more than 5K views !
so, as far as conformable objects go, wouldn't it be intergalactic filaments?

why would we want to build a dysonsphere / ring in the habitable zone? should heat be a minor problem at that point?
tell you whats no the longest thing, Skarkee's hair
Cool video!
what about an elevator that is just shifted over 1 shaft into a new frame every 575 meters
I was hoping for longer vid..
Sharkee How did you become such a polymath, Nature or nurture?
Cosmic String sounds like a type of dark matter or dark energy
the notion of length is depending on the frame of reference ( einstein SRT) so is an absolute Longest Thing possible ?
instead of using a cables & motors, could magnets or compressed air be used to left the carriage up the shaft?
well if time is a thing can it be considered the longest thing? as we do not know if it ends.

Wouldn't cosmic string that stretched across the observable universe be massive enough that it would collapse into a black hole?
yeah if you condensed it into a small enough area dummy
Can't Pi be the longest thing? It does go on forever
Omg that's infinite, we are looking for something actually long dude, not infinite length

The longest thing in the universe that is verified today is GREAT SILOAM WALL.

How did you aply density to a 1d obiect?
I think he is talking about 1d density ie not kg/m3 but kg/m
+Kuldip Soliya problem is that 1 dim objects have no volume thus lack the density, same with 2d objects. its true about solid objects but didn't convey to particles or strings, I suppose
God is the answer my dicky friend :)

if I'm not mistaken then density of string in physics mostly taken as linear density that is kg or g/m
if you divide anything by zero it becomes infinity so the equation is
1kg/(1x0x0)=infinity
would you call the 'hercules-corona borealis great wall' a thing?
its technically not connected
***** indeed, that's why I ask, but if you think 'it's a collection of things', with 'it' you already refer to it as one thing.
PrimaPunchy because from far away it looks like one object and since it's genderless i can safely call it an it.
