I think about that all the time. Our conscience floating away with every particle observing the vastness of the universe freely. Or at least reading the energy emitted by all matter and understand the mechanics of everything that exist.
I don't know how someone couldn't be absolutely fascinated by stuff like this. In my opinion, there is NOTHING more interesting than the universe. No other subject even comes close to bring as fascinating. The universe/space is as close as someone could get to experiencing real life magic. My only wish is that I went on to become an astrophysicist instead of an electrical engineer.
Daniel DeVito not to be negative, but a lot of things are super interesting on the surface level but once you dive really into a subject it becomes too boring and tedious for most people. Just because you enjoy looking at the universe DOES NOT mean you’d like astrophysics
My brain melts when I try to comprehend the fact that the universe is infinite. It's so frustrating that we know so little and likely never get any answers in our lifetime.
Well gentlemen you are all forgetting you can experience infinity...as you are coming don't you wish your pipe was infinately long..zz....sorry for guys with short pipes
It's possible that no human will ever find the answer. Just like if humans evolved a few hundred billion years in the future, they would never know there are other galaxies out there, and their universe has only 1 galaxy.
THE SPEED OF MIND! In the Vedic literature still read and followed by true scientists. Traveling at the speed of mind which is much faster then the speed of light is preferred. In some way when discussing this topic brings the mind to these places. Moving the physical is silly. Drop that idea. Traveling there by mind takes practise, discipline, and a bona fide teacher. READ THE VEDAS!
@@optimusprime5199 the Vedas describe the macro to the micro. The multiverse to the atom. The Vedas are a comprehensive scientific work with some fantastical stories to grab attention. There are strictly nuts and bolts sections. Examples 1.laying out the movement of time down to the anu (atom) 2. Naming the oldest star in the know universe jeyshta (oldest). 3. Arundhati, two of the faints stars that orbit one another. These stars are shown to newly weds ?? Western science is coming along slowly but surely. The EARTH is round in the Vedas. The universe is egg shaped in the Vedas. Not a chicken egg though ha ha. Info is out there just have to look. I could list many more facts that have been written down for thousands of years that western science is just now accepting.
@@optimusprime5199 it's a comment section tactic. that many people use to get some important information out first. you will not look into what I have presented to you. Did you come from monkeys?... if you think humans came from monkeys then you must except the vedas. There are 400,000 species of humans so to which do you want me to relate.
@@philiproe1661 if it's true that the universe is infinite then there's a 100% chance that we will be revived by some very advanced species for some reason somehow in the future.
It seems to me that the only thing we are doing here is exploring the capabilities of our primary sensory organ, the eye. Everything we think we know about the universe is based on how we perceive light. Imagine if you are a dog and you would try to explain the universe via your primary sensory organ, the nose. The universe would look totally different. Now imagine a race of alien beings with sensory organs we can't even imagine.
It's because light is the fastest thing on the universe, if we can't detect something with light, then it's impossible for anything else, unless we manage to teleport
@@conorm2524 again, doesnt matter, what you can detect with your eyes, we can already see ultra violet or infra red and by the way its still light, again light is the limit of the universe, once you reach speed of light time stops so there is NOTHING faster than it in all of the universe.
Look at you go SEA.... I remember when you just started and commenting on how good your videos were.....you even replied to me. I knew you had a good future on RUclips. You are definitely born to do this work.....and it looks like a lot of people agree. Good for you man.
"It's hard to believe that there is simply nothing outside of an arbitrary boundary" THANK YOU. The same way that it's hard to believe that there could be anything that doesn't consist of something smaller. The idea of an infinite universe (and in the case of multiverse, infinite plane in which many big bangs are happening) makes FAR more sense for both the cosmic and quantum level rather than the idea that the universe is a gigantic fish tank that consists of immutable building blocks that just "are".
@Dante S ....and yet its all we know. We also know things behave differently in the Mega as well. I mean...our own Universe's rate of expansion breaks what we know. Galactic movements break what we know(or used to know). Its a mindfuck to think about outside our universe being a true void. a complete nothingness. no matter or energy. no light or dark. just...blank. Of course saying the universe is not expanding into anything is just the cheap route to saying "fuck if we know, shut up. were not at that point yet". For all we know, our universe could be one of seemingly infinite universes at all make up something larger, with a totally different set of physics. Our universe could be similar to an atom's neutron, reacting to whatever surrounding it. Our universe's creation could simply be something comparable to a nuclear reaction. Or even a test in a lab of some sorts. We can't imagine what's out there, if there is anything. We don't have anything to reference, except what we can see in our own universe. So all this speculations and questions are worthless. Just conversational piece. Because any answer anyone could ever possibly conceive, even from an advanced level 10 godlike civilization, would be: "Lol I dunno".
@@DekkarJr yes there’s literally plenty of places here that you can see basically the entire observable galaxy and stars. u must not live in the country or have seen any of those star timelapses
But nothingness or a unuverse with a fixed finite volume is just as mind bending, if you start to think about it. Why would the jnuverse only be a hypersphere with a fixed volume you can't escape from? And in what kind of none-space would it exist? Could there be other bubbles that are NOT inside our universe, like The Expanse stations artificial empty space that connects different parts of the known universe with ringgates? All these models make my brain shiver. I guess this feeling is what people misinterpreted as "fear of god". It's the feeling you get when you encounter things your brain can't possibly understand.
@@pcuimac Yes that's true. I often wonder about 'what would I prefer' and like you say , the finiteness of the universe would be crazy as well, because even though the science says that it's not expanding into anything, if that's the case, it's utterly incomprehensible! So I guess what we have is perfect, because how could it be otherwise? If it wasn't perfect , we wouldn't be here probably.
I would say that an infinite universe is far more terrible than a limited one, because infinite means that every event with a probability bigger than zero is bound to happen an infinite times, meaning that free will is just an illusion of causality, because every possible event in your life had happened, is happening and will happen infinite times, turning you essentially in meaningless mass.
I guess so, but what does anyone do with such information? What does it mean for everyday life exactly? I tend to agree with you. Meaningless mass indeed. 'Meaning' is something everyone has even if it's just small. What exactly does having 'meaning' mean anyway? lol. I think it was St Augustine who said 'if god has a meaning for our existence, it must be beyond human imagining.' Or something. Maybe not. I'm tired.

If it where let's say 10 billion years ago. We would only see light as far 3.8 billion years. Because that's how old the universe would be and how long that light would reach us. If you were at that horizon of 3.8 billion years. Everywhere else would look the same at 3.8 billion years.
If the entirety of the universe is trillions of light years or even infinite, it's a given that we indeed are beyond somebody's cosmic horizon...possibly an infinite number of somebodies.
Uhm, only 10 % What are you, twelve ? I thought this was a very light video, and while it didn't really showcase any new information, it did deliver one message that I didn't think of before: Those that come long after us won't have any idea there is anything else behind the cosmic horizon. That's a really comically sad circumstance :)
One think that always amazes me is no matter what you believe, this all had a beginning. And to generate this place we’re in, it must have been an unimaginably epic event
But there are people who hypothesize that the universe is eternal, has always existed and didn't have a beginning. Given that all of time and space is by definition part of the universe, it's not really coherent to think of time before the universe, so in essence it had to have existed for literally all of time. And that seems just as unimaginably awesome as a universe-generating event. Just some more food for thought!
@@IHatePeopleOfColor So warring and killing, kidnapping, slavery would all be much easier without 'borders'. Yea.....good luck on that one. Even the Native Americans, who had no 'borders' warred on each other.

I like to think they have a room with a floor made of keyboards, then they just get out the good old laser pointer and have a cat chase it, a few hours of that and they have a very long list of numbers to draw from.
It's a lottery, on casual Fridays at Nasa they draw a name from a hat and that guy gets to sleep at his desk on Monday, invariably at least once in a while an employee will accidentally lay his head on his keyboard, and thus a new star is born.
The fact that the universe is slowly escaping our grasp makes me feel like a little kid without his parents at a closing store, everyone trickling out, the lights turning off, and the fear of being lost.

i think we are thinking in too short of time. Maybe the universe and all the dark matter out there is like a sponge, and it got hit with a figurative splash of water, so, like those little capsule sponge dinosaurs, they EXPAND, but only to a limit, and then its just at its final size. Our view of time is so short, were in that moment where the sponge is expanding super fast. Im just saying maybe we just don't have enough info to see the real big picture.
And maybe in countless years from now, it will finally start to breath in, causing the Big Crunch. And it will breathe out, starting a new universe... etc.
Indeed. Our main challenge is scale. Scale of time, scale of size. We think that emergence stops at « living organism ». But there always ends up being a level above that. We think we’re right in the middle of size scale from the smallest particles to the observable universe but it’s because it’s from OUR perspective. We’re trapped in our scale. If the universe is a concious being formed of galaxies superclusters n shit, maybe a billion years for us is the blink of an eye to « him ». It’s too big for us to comprehend. Trapped in our scale. This is why we will never know shit until we escape this. For example, creating actual artifical intelligence and matrioshka brains that can experience the universe at outrageous scales.
Special Relativity does put a limit on the speed an object can travel through space but it does not put a limit on the speed of the expansion of space itself. The observed acceleration does not conflict with Einstein's relativity theory.
Us: "People of the future will never be able to see distant galaxies." People of the future:" Huh? We can see all of the stringwaves in the universe by simple circumflex non-interaction with latent alpha-tachyon signatures in the mass-time function of optimal vacu...." Us:" So sad.... so sad..."
I would love the Universe more if wasn't receding so quickly away from our position in the solar system. It seems nothing is close by and maybe there is a good reason for that. Space is bizarre and weird and hostile, beautiful and awesome and massively huge to us homo sapiens. I believe we are the first, an experiment by a "higher power"- I'll be amazed however if we are still around in just 20 years if we don't watch what we are doing to this planet. Its as basic as coming home and expecting the lights to come on at the flick of a switch: we don't care how the electricity is produced, we just know we expect it to always be there..
@I COME FROM SUN Yes, we do. Every atom we are made of as Carl Sagan said so well was born in the birth of massive,white hot stars. Speaking of information if you have ever seen the Sci-Fi movie Interstellar there is a scene where (Kevin Costner??) goes into some kind of black hole where everything he's ever known streams past him - information which is in a closed loop of sorts. This is a great example of the many waves theory where nothing is measured unless someone is there to measure it. Complex stuff but exciting stuff. You agree?
If the universe is infinite, then eventualy things will start to repeat... so somewhere there is another earth with another humans that look just like you and me.
if the universe is infinite and time is infinite which it would have to be for the universe to be infinite since the 4th dimension is time and dimensions 1-4 together are space-time, and there are infinite universes then everything possible is waiting to be found, from the incredible to the mundane, and will be found at some point
We are not inhabitors of the universe, we are the universe itself. Our bodies are made up of elements In which are observable in all other places of the universe, carbon, iron, oxygen, calcium, all created by stars. Everything we are, we have, and we observe is all the same connected thing. Even ourselves and all other forms of life on earth.
“The nothing, is nothing, so it can’t be labeled by humans” but then again, in that same nothing, a lot happens. You and I will never know, but we have Rueda white wine, that’s a silver lining ;)
@Jason There’s nothing to be sold on. Any conclusion you can come to still begs the question, “well what happened before that, and before that, and so on...” It’s impossible for there to be a beginning and an end as far as humans can understand. Because there had to be a “before the beginning” and there will have to be an “after the end”, always in every scenario.
@17:50 was a one of the most profound, mind-warping concepts I've ever heard in a RUclips video. It used to be how insignificant we are in the cosmos. Then it was the deep freeze. But this tops them all. We truly have no idea what we've missed. And if it's anything like what distant future generations will never know about the Universe now, then it must've been something epic.
Why would there be anything special beyond the horizon? _We_ are beyond the cosmic horizon from those galaxies perspective too. It's just a fancy way of saying "too far to be seen".

Only from a prespective of scale. Scale is something that science will eventually catch up with. Our understanding is prolly on par with the expansion of the galaxy. We have spent a cosmological atoms length of time getting to where we are now. Times that length of time by hundreds at a near exponential rate of discoveries of how things work and tell me then that the furthest reaches are out of range. At that point we could have discovered we can see trillons of times further then we do currently.

@@myfatassdick They don't. Absorption and emission lines in a simple spectrograph tell us that the same elements are there and the same physics at play. Learn things, kids. Opinions later.
Sometimes it feels so lonely and depressing to know that most of the stars we see today are dead about a billion years ago and now we only see their past.
It's all about perspective. Any beings that could potentially live in that galaxy may look at ours the same way. Just think of everything we get to see in the other direction that they can't. Think of everything here on our own home planet they can never experience. They'll never cuddle a cat or swim in our ocean. They can never know our history or our future and never get to be any part of the human experience, that's for us, and us alone. Furthermore, the Milky Way may as well be a small universe in and of itself. There are untold millions of stars and solar systems right here at home that aren't going anywhere. They aren't expanding away from us, they will forever be close by just waiting for us to have the technology to visit. There's also no doubt that a portion of these millions upon millions of stars harbour planets with intelligent life eager to interact with us someday. See, the beauty of everything being so massive and unknown is that the things we want most are bound to be out there. We want the company of other sapient life forms? Well with the sheer number of stars and planets existing in our galaxy they HAVE to be here somewhere. Interstellar travel, immortality, all the answers to everything we ever wanted to know? It's there, and we'll eventually have enough to figure it out. Remember there was a time before we even knew that the universe existed. There was also time when we saw things like getting to the moon, or even creating something like an airplane as completely impossible. Hell, I remember seeing an episode of a show back in like 2009 or '10, where they said something like a "jetpack" couldn't exist. Now there are videos of people using perfectly functional, albeit clunky, jetpacks all over RUclips. All we gotta do, is be patient
Production efforts are certainly nice and shiny, but if you want to educate yourself on the deeper level, you need to watch something like PBS Space Time. Just drink at least two coffees before going there :-D But, this makes for a great fall-asleep video without lot of complex math!
Watching your older videos, I'm glad you have slowed down your speaking and learnt to pace yourself in the later ones, I find it hard to listen to a stream of words without any clear punctuation but the material here is just so interesting that I'm okay with it.
Crazy to think about, as the universe grows larger the smaller it will appear. In the distant future some civilization in the galaxy will be calling the galaxy the observable universe.
That makes me so sad. I mean there will be "people" that will only hear about , how the universe is bigger than the galaxy. AND THERE WILL BE PEOPLE that will say NONO that is all conspiracy by the goverment, they will say that there was never other galaxies , that those are just stories. And well they will be kind correct, because when they make observations, they wont have any evidence that there was galaxies. THE ONLY evidence that there was other galaxies, will be "written evidence" .
There will definately be stars in the sky. The ones from our own Galaxy (then "Milkdromeda". stupid name). What will be gone for good is earth, since the sun will expand and become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury and Venus, and render Earth uninhabitable. If we're not at least in a different solar system by then, it's game over.
Yes, and that's why it is so important that we gather all the information, that we can obtain today - because without us, these alien civilizations in the far future will never be able to understand how it looked like when all was just in its very beginning (we are incredibly early on in the universe - all those "ancient" aliens from film and TV... well, that's us).
Probably not possible. Gravity seems to be able to siphone beyond local spacial boundaries - if the multiverse exists, this means, a bit of energy gets lost each cylce - so at some point in this process, it would just stop working.
Multiple Big Bangs stretching across endless void. No evidence to support this, but if true then there's a chance of crossing paths. There's so much more we don't know than we know. Heat Death Theory sounds lonely and Big Crunch Theory sounds painful. Both have their own beauty about them, tho.
There was a quote I read lastly, something like "The number of things we do not know, is infinite" I have to say this comforts me a little bit, though I also struggle sometimes with universe/ existential crisis
In the last minutes of the video, it sums up how lucky we are to be able to see and know so much. We will have a quantum computer that will be with us in the next hundred years and able to interpret our collected data into a 3D map of the universe that predicts the future based on the observation of the past. (and help fill in many gaps) We are about a 100 years away from knowledge and ability beyond our wildest imagination and about 100 years away from total collapse of the planet.
@@zeljkovicentic4826 You do realise that even quantum computers would still be bound by the laws of the universe, right? Even a quantum computer wouldn't be able to keep up with atoms, particles, quarks. Also, there's a thing called Pleaiades supercomputer which is owned by NASA. They're literally doing the exact same thing that you just commented, only on a larger scale like galaxies, superclusters etc.
It shouldn't, because you are a member of probably the lone spacefaring civilization in our Supercluster. That doesn't just make you, as a member of this species, significant - it actually makes you (and me and everybody else) pretty awesome.
its not exactly like that,we only know about the observable universe and can only detect from that certain area,but if we move anywhere in space were in a different observable universe so if space is inifinite there’s nothing beyond the horizon nor before its just universe(i could be wrong)tell me your ideasdd
for me i think beyond our universe there is probably a "space" where there are only virtual particles, and sometimes those virtual particles join in such a way as to make a universe instead of instantly collapsing the more it grows the faster it does so, probably outside of our universe there's just more universes, wait what if two universes colliding speeds things up because we're seeing the light coming that way that took longer to come to us hence more red shifted? i mean if you open a door to another room you could say that the room you're in just got bigger if you didn't know there was a door and a wall separating the two, but this is just my opinion there ain't no scientific proof for what i'm saying so take it with a bit of salt
It won’t just stop it will just keep going but the distance between objects will be so great it would be like it did stop and eventually every star and galaxy will evaporate and an era of black holes will start and after all the black holes evaporate (yes they can lol) it will just be a dark void and there wouldn’t be any trace of anything left lol it’s really terrifying that people won’t be able to exist after that but humans will most likely become extinct by that time All I’ve learned and thought about lmao might be wrong but this is what I believe would happen
I only saw 6 minutes until I gave up, but to me most of it seemed just like trying to make something more confusing than it is. He talked for (at least) 6 minutes about something that he could just have said "The reason that things that we see now are 46 billion light years away, despite their light only having had 13 billion years to reach us, is the expansion of the universe over the time it has taken that light to travel". Done. It shouldn't come as a surprise to people our universe is expanding.
@@xxxx85 Thanks for making something so complex seem so insignificant. The part that's hard to grasp is the scale, when you break it down into a sentence with 2 variables it seems pretty damn dull, which is what your comment brings to the table. I could've probably used less words about such a "simple" topic, but sometimes it's not very effective.
@@LyneaSilver Very true, but that's the best part. Anyone who thinks they can visualize the universe in it's immensity is kidding themselves. We think we know the size of the universe but we don't, it's in it's infinity where the beauty lies. It's majestic and even spiritual that life and matter may exist in infinite.
Well, he made it sound like a galaxy could reach 2C when it is 2 relative bodies which APPROACH 1C each which can add up to almost 2C - but we really only need to get over 1C combined moving away from one another to render that object invisible and the light which was transmitted before that point will continue to be seen until we reach 1C, likely never, or until the light which was transmitted before combined 1C moving away has been seen at which point the body will appear to vanish.
Just my two cents here, but... Since the observable universe is relative to the observer's position, wouldn't the cosmic horizon for MACS0647-JD be near US? What I mean is, it's drifted beyond *_our_* cosmic horizon but for an observer in that galaxy, the Milky Way would appear to have vanished beyond a cosmic horizon, correct? *_Their_* cosmic horizon. If this is true, then it's plausible that the universe in it's entirety is potentially infinite, and what lies beyond our cosmic horizon is no different than what lies within it --- a vast lifeless vacuum dotted with clusters of stars.
Correct me if I'm wrong but we wouldn't be visible to said galaxy as said galaxy is of the first galaxies In the universe our galaxy is 13 billion years old so said galaxy would of passed the cosmic horizon and the light of the milky way would never reach said galaxy. I can't explain things as clever as you so I hope you get what I'm trying to say lol. 👍
@@brybyrne397 Yes, I get what you're saying. The only problem I see is that the "cosmic horizon" you're referring to is relative to Earth's position; it's not a fixed zone in space relative to all all positions. In other words, the "cosmic horizon" is not the same for the MAC galaxy as it is for us. You have to imagine Earth at the center of a giant sphere or bubble. The perimeter of this bubble represents OUR cosmic horizon. Anything inside this bubble constitutes the observable universe (to us, that is). Now suppose there's a planet in the MAC galaxy (which resides outside our bubble). This planet too, has a "bubble" with the perimeter representing IT'S cosmic horizon. Yes, the MAC galaxy is 13 billion years old, but our own galaxy is roughly that same age (some stars in our galaxy are 13 billion years old). So this is where things get hard to grasp: The image of MAC we see now is what it looked like 13 billion years ago because the light from it is only just reaching us. However, likewise if someone in MAC were to look in our direction TODAY (assuming a similar lensing effect were present), they would see what the Milky Way looked like 13 billion years ago and would come to the same conclusion: the Milky Way must have been one of the earliest galaxies to form in the universe (because light from our galaxy would only just now be reaching them). The cosmic horizon issue comes into play in that both galaxies are moving away from each other at speeds faster than light. Science currently says the further out a galaxy is, the faster it's moving. Personally, I wonder if this just isn't a cosmic case of "the Sun revolving around the Earth" so to speak; it *_appears_* as though we're stationary and everything else is moving away from us, but the reality is that we're probably moving as well at an equal pace as MAC, meaning that it's ACTUAL speed is 1/2 of what we measure, because the light is being affected by our movement as well. Either way, the point is that because of this phenomena, there will come a point where the galaxy will be moving away faster than light can leave it, meaning that from our POV, the galaxy will just fade to black. At the same time, MAC denizens will see an early Milky Way galaxy fade to black for the same reason -- we will have moved beyond their cosmic horizon. Neither us nor them will ever know what each other's galaxy CURRENTLY looks like. Too far away. Both galaxies still exists, they're just too far away from each other to be seen.
@@sixstanger00 Maybe that's why the question what's behind the cosmic horizon, not relevant. Since it's our cosmic horizon, you can be pretty sure that there are just more galaxies behind the cosmic horizon. I dont think there can be any galaxy near the border of the universe since that also would mean that there's a center of the universe (as in: where the big bang happened) Maybe both the end of the universe and the center of the universe are located in another dimension. Awesome video though. Subscribed too.
@@sassepas A common misconception is that the Big Bang expanded outward like a sphere, which isn't true (at least, according to current science). The Big Bang occurred everywhere at once, and all space expanded simultaneously. I admit I don't fully understand this paradox, because according to BB, all matter and energy was compressed into a single point. If the natural laws of physics are to be followed, an explosion and/or expansion from a single point would inevitably constitute an expanding "sphere." I think it has to do with *_space_* also being compressed and expanding, not just the objects within it. With regards to what lies beyond the cosmic horizon, I'm about 90% certain what lies beyond is just more of the same -- empty space dotted with galaxies. There's no reason to think otherwise, because the cosmic horizon is nothing more than the edge of the *_observable_* universe. Observation has no bearing on reality itself, so it's perfectly logical that objects could and do exist beyond this barrier; we just can't see them. As for an "edge" to the universe, that will probably never be known unless The Big Crunch ends up being true. At present, such an "edge" would exist well beyond our cosmic horizon, and thus could never be reached. Food for thought: Current estimates put the age of the universe at 14 billion years old, based on background radiation measured in deep space. However, as this radiation travels at C, it's plausible that the universe is in fact, much older and what we've observed is only what managed to escape our cosmic horizon and reach us.
@@dylanbrooke8322 we wouldnt know anyway... if we could see the 'edge of the universe' from our position, how would we know it was the edge? How could we see it? We couldn't...
M Gates I’d say it’s *impossible* for no other life to exist, but it’s very likely that we’ll never find another advanced civilization, at least in our lifetime.
Heckin memes holy shit... that thought FUCKING SCARES me... what if there’s something we can’t see just due to our positioning, something that other distant life forms who WERE intelligent noticed and which helped them understand the universe way more to the point where they leaped at it?! Like every civilization who saw it were like “THAT is our goal, THAT will solve so many problems” or something?! That’s such a weird feeling that almost feels possible. Then again, maybe the closest to other life forms there are is just a leaflike structure who just kinda... exists.
@@chimedemon could be. I read a quote somewhere that goes something like; "the surest sign that there is intelligent life besides use in the galaxy, is that none of it has tried to contact us." If you look at humans, we're basically space barbarians at this point.
@Chris Manzi imagine, that 500 years ago, someone wanted to be born in a time where you could go from Europe to Australia in a day. Imagine, that in 500 years, where your "wish" has come true, they wanted to be born in a time, where even chonkier things can happen. (This isn't supposed to be rude or sth, just for imagination)
The universe may really have a defined purpose. The thing is we can only see such a small part of it that this purpose is unfathomable to us. It's like trying to understand what the picture of a million piece puzzle is by only observing a single piece of it and nothing else, ever.
This is an amazing video and somehow incredibly depressing. I accept my mortality but for some reason accepting the universe will someday be out of touch with itself is more than I can make peace with. Let's start over and this time let's have the mega happy ending plz Great stuff tho...thanks for making this.
Never mind that... I just feel empty thinking that at some point every star will fizzle out and no more light will remain only blackholes will remain until slowly but surely they begin to die out due to hawking radiation. Nothing will be left. Space will littally become just that empty space. Even though this is an inconceivable amount of time away it still makes me sad..

It seems to me that the only thing we are doing here is exploring the capabilities of our primary sensory organ, the eye. Everything we think we know about the universe is based on how we perceive light.
Imagine if you are a dog and you would try to explain the universe via your primary sensory organ, the nose. The universe would look totally different.
Now imagine a race of alien beings with sensory organs we can't even imagine.
Damn!!
Well if unknown forces exist then it would pose an effect on its surrounding which we can build machines to detect.
It's because light is the fastest thing on the universe, if we can't detect something with light, then it's impossible for anything else, unless we manage to teleport

@@conorm2524 again, doesnt matter, what you can detect with your eyes, we can already see ultra violet or infra red and by the way its still light, again light is the limit of the universe, once you reach speed of light time stops so there is NOTHING faster than it in all of the universe.

"It's hard to believe that there is simply nothing outside of an arbitrary boundary" THANK YOU. The same way that it's hard to believe that there could be anything that doesn't consist of something smaller. The idea of an infinite universe (and in the case of multiverse, infinite plane in which many big bangs are happening) makes FAR more sense for both the cosmic and quantum level rather than the idea that the universe is a gigantic fish tank that consists of immutable building blocks that just "are".

@@egonieser
Neither good nor bad. Just. Is.
@Dante S ....and yet its all we know. We also know things behave differently in the Mega as well.
I mean...our own Universe's rate of expansion breaks what we know. Galactic movements break what we know(or used to know).
Its a mindfuck to think about outside our universe being a true void. a complete nothingness. no matter or energy. no light or dark. just...blank.
Of course saying the universe is not expanding into anything is just the cheap route to saying "fuck if we know, shut up. were not at that point yet".
For all we know, our universe could be one of seemingly infinite universes at all make up something larger, with a totally different set of physics.
Our universe could be similar to an atom's neutron, reacting to whatever surrounding it.
Our universe's creation could simply be something comparable to a nuclear reaction. Or even a test in a lab of some sorts.
We can't imagine what's out there, if there is anything. We don't have anything to reference, except what we can see in our own universe.

Infinity is as comforting as it is terrifying.
But nothingness or a unuverse with a fixed finite volume is just as mind bending, if you start to think about it. Why would the jnuverse only be a hypersphere with a fixed volume you can't escape from? And in what kind of none-space would it exist? Could there be other bubbles that are NOT inside our universe, like The Expanse stations artificial empty space that connects different parts of the known universe with ringgates? All these models make my brain shiver. I guess this feeling is what people misinterpreted as "fear of god". It's the feeling you get when you encounter things your brain can't possibly understand.
@@pcuimac Yes that's true. I often wonder about 'what would I prefer' and like you say , the finiteness of the universe would be crazy as well, because even though the science says that it's not expanding into anything, if that's the case, it's utterly incomprehensible! So I guess what we have is perfect, because how could it be otherwise? If it wasn't perfect , we wouldn't be here probably.
I would say that an infinite universe is far more terrible than a limited one, because infinite means that every event with a probability bigger than zero is bound to happen an infinite times, meaning that free will is just an illusion of causality, because every possible event in your life had happened, is happening and will happen infinite times, turning you essentially in meaningless mass.
I guess so, but what does anyone do with such information? What does it mean for everyday life exactly? I tend to agree with you. Meaningless mass indeed. 'Meaning' is something everyone has even if it's just small. What exactly does having 'meaning' mean anyway? lol. I think it was St Augustine who said 'if god has a meaning for our existence, it must be beyond human imagining.' Or something. Maybe not. I'm tired.

But there are people who hypothesize that the universe is eternal, has always existed and didn't have a beginning. Given that all of time and space is by definition part of the universe, it's not really coherent to think of time before the universe, so in essence it had to have existed for literally all of time. And that seems just as unimaginably awesome as a universe-generating event.

That’s a pretty interesting thought
Indeed. Our main challenge is scale. Scale of time, scale of size. We think that emergence stops at « living organism ». But there always ends up being a level above that. We think we’re right in the middle of size scale from the smallest particles to the observable universe but it’s because it’s from OUR perspective. We’re trapped in our scale. If the universe is a concious being formed of galaxies superclusters n shit, maybe a billion years for us is the blink of an eye to « him ». It’s too big for us to comprehend. Trapped in our scale. This is why we will never know shit until we escape this. For example, creating actual artifical intelligence and matrioshka brains that can experience the universe at outrageous scales.

"there was no beginning and there is no end , existence is just relative"

“The nothing, is nothing, so it can’t be labeled by humans” but then again, in that same nothing, a lot happens. You and I will never know, but we have Rueda white wine, that’s a silver lining ;)
@Jason There’s nothing to be sold on. Any conclusion you can come to still begs the question, “well what happened before that, and before that, and so on...” It’s impossible for there to be a beginning and an end as far as humans can understand. Because there had to be a “before the beginning” and there will have to be an “after the end”, always in every scenario.

There are galaxies, stars and planets where we are beyond their observable universe. Facts like this really boggles my mind
@17:50 was a one of the most profound, mind-warping concepts I've ever heard in a RUclips video. It used to be how insignificant we are in the cosmos. Then it was the deep freeze. But this tops them all. We truly have no idea what we've missed. And if it's anything like what distant future generations will never know about the Universe now, then it must've been something epic.
Why would there be anything special beyond the horizon? _We_ are beyond the cosmic horizon from those galaxies perspective too. It's just a fancy way of saying "too far to be seen".

Yes, the whole Big Bang theory business smacks of total made-up nonsense. Cosmologists should just admit that they have no clue.
Only from a prespective of scale. Scale is something that science will eventually catch up with. Our understanding is prolly on par with the expansion of the galaxy. We have spent a cosmological atoms length of time getting to where we are now. Times that length of time by hundreds at a near exponential rate of discoveries of how things work and tell me then that the furthest reaches are out of range. At that point we could have discovered we can see trillons of times further then we do currently.

@@myfatassdick They don't. Absorption and emission lines in a simple spectrograph tell us that the same elements are there and the same physics at play. Learn things, kids. Opinions later.
Sometimes it feels so lonely and depressing to know that most of the stars we see today are dead about a billion years ago and now we only see their past.
It's all about perspective. Any beings that could potentially live in that galaxy may look at ours the same way. Just think of everything we get to see in the other direction that they can't. Think of everything here on our own home planet they can never experience. They'll never cuddle a cat or swim in our ocean. They can never know our history or our future and never get to be any part of the human experience, that's for us, and us alone.
Furthermore, the Milky Way may as well be a small universe in and of itself. There are untold millions of stars and solar systems right here at home that aren't going anywhere. They aren't expanding away from us, they will forever be close by just waiting for us to have the technology to visit. There's also no doubt that a portion of these millions upon millions of stars harbour planets with intelligent life eager to interact with us someday.
See, the beauty of everything being so massive and unknown is that the things we want most are bound to be out there. We want the company of other sapient life forms? Well with the sheer number of stars and planets existing in our galaxy they HAVE to be here somewhere. Interstellar travel, immortality, all the answers to everything we ever wanted to know? It's there, and we'll eventually have enough to figure it out. Remember there was a time before we even knew that the universe existed. There was also time when we saw things like getting to the moon, or even creating something like an airplane as completely impossible.

Crazy to think about, as the universe grows larger the smaller it will appear. In the distant future some civilization in the galaxy will be calling the galaxy the observable universe.
That makes me so sad. I mean there will be "people" that will only hear about , how the universe is bigger than the galaxy. AND THERE WILL BE PEOPLE that will say NONO that is all conspiracy by the goverment, they will say that there was never other galaxies , that those are just stories. And well they will be kind correct, because when they make observations, they wont have any evidence that there was galaxies. THE ONLY evidence that there was other galaxies, will be "written evidence" .

@@ryan-hg2dc Oh really?
There will definately be stars in the sky. The ones from our own Galaxy (then "Milkdromeda". stupid name). What will be gone for good is earth, since the sun will expand and become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury and Venus, and render Earth uninhabitable. If we're not at least in a different solar system by then, it's game over.
Yes, and that's why it is so important that we gather all the information, that we can obtain today - because without us, these alien civilizations in the far future will never be able to understand how it looked like when all was just in its very beginning (we are incredibly early on in the universe - all those "ancient" aliens from film and TV... well, that's us).

I cant wrap my head around the possibility that the universe just stops and then there is nothing, how can there be nothing!? I need to know!!!
its not exactly like that,we only know about the observable universe and can only detect from that certain area,but if we move anywhere in space were in a different observable universe so if space is inifinite there’s nothing beyond the horizon nor before its just universe(i could be wrong)tell me your ideasdd
for me i think beyond our universe there is probably a "space" where there are only virtual particles, and sometimes those virtual particles join in such a way as to make a universe instead of instantly collapsing the more it grows the faster it does so, probably outside of our universe there's just more universes, wait what if two universes colliding speeds things up because we're seeing the light coming that way that took longer to come to us hence more red shifted? i mean if you open a door to another room you could say that the room you're in just got bigger if you didn't know there was a door and a wall separating the two, but this is just my opinion there ain't no scientific proof for what i'm saying so take it with a bit of salt
It won’t just stop it will just keep going but the distance between objects will be so great it would be like it did stop and eventually every star and galaxy will evaporate and an era of black holes will start and after all the black holes evaporate (yes they can lol) it will just be a dark void and there wouldn’t be any trace of anything left lol it’s really terrifying that people won’t be able to exist after that but humans will most likely become extinct by that time

@@Rob165x On the scale of the universe, any bit of information or detail you can imagine, is infinitesimally small an insignificant.
@@LyneaSilver Very true, but that's the best part. Anyone who thinks they can visualize the universe in it's immensity is kidding themselves.

Well, he made it sound like a galaxy could reach 2C when it is 2 relative bodies which APPROACH 1C each which can add up to almost 2C - but we really only need to get over 1C combined moving away from one another to render that object invisible and the light which was transmitted before that point will continue to be seen until we reach 1C, likely never, or until the light which was transmitted before combined 1C moving away has been seen at which point the body will appear to vanish.

Just my two cents here, but...
Since the observable universe is relative to the observer's position, wouldn't the cosmic horizon for MACS0647-JD be near US? What I mean is, it's drifted beyond *_our_* cosmic horizon but for an observer in that galaxy, the Milky Way would appear to have vanished beyond a cosmic horizon, correct? *_Their_* cosmic horizon.
If this is true, then it's plausible that the universe in it's entirety is potentially infinite, and what lies beyond our cosmic horizon is no different than what lies within it --- a vast lifeless vacuum dotted with clusters of stars.
Correct me if I'm wrong but we wouldn't be visible to said galaxy as said galaxy is of the first galaxies In the universe our galaxy is 13 billion years old so said galaxy would of passed the cosmic horizon and the light of the milky way would never reach said galaxy. I can't explain things as clever as you so I hope you get what I'm trying to say lol. 👍
@@brybyrne397 Yes, I get what you're saying. The only problem I see is that the "cosmic horizon" you're referring to is relative to Earth's position; it's not a fixed zone in space relative to all all positions. In other words, the "cosmic horizon" is not the same for the MAC galaxy as it is for us.
You have to imagine Earth at the center of a giant sphere or bubble. The perimeter of this bubble represents OUR cosmic horizon. Anything inside this bubble constitutes the observable universe (to us, that is).
Now suppose there's a planet in the MAC galaxy (which resides outside our bubble). This planet too, has a "bubble" with the perimeter representing IT'S cosmic horizon.
Yes, the MAC galaxy is 13 billion years old, but our own galaxy is roughly that same age (some stars in our galaxy are 13 billion years old). So this is where things get hard to grasp:
The image of MAC we see now is what it looked like 13 billion years ago because the light from it is only just reaching us. However, likewise if someone in MAC were to look in our direction TODAY (assuming a similar lensing effect were present), they would see what the Milky Way looked like 13 billion years ago and would come to the same conclusion: the Milky Way must have been one of the earliest galaxies to form in the universe (because light from our galaxy would only just now be reaching them).
The cosmic horizon issue comes into play in that both galaxies are moving away from each other at speeds faster than light. Science currently says the further out a galaxy is, the faster it's moving. Personally, I wonder if this just isn't a cosmic case of "the Sun revolving around the Earth" so to speak; it *_appears_* as though we're stationary and everything else is moving away from us, but the reality is that we're probably moving as well at an equal pace as MAC, meaning that it's ACTUAL speed is 1/2 of what we measure, because the light is being affected by our movement as well.
Either way, the point is that because of this phenomena, there will come a point where the galaxy will be moving away faster than light can leave it, meaning that from our POV, the galaxy will just fade to black. At the same time, MAC denizens will see an early Milky Way galaxy fade to black for the same reason -- we will have moved beyond their cosmic horizon.
Neither us nor them will ever know what each other's galaxy CURRENTLY looks like. Too far away. Both galaxies still exists, they're just too far away from each other to be seen.
@@sixstanger00 Maybe that's why the question what's behind the cosmic horizon, not relevant. Since it's our cosmic horizon, you can be pretty sure that there are just more galaxies behind the cosmic horizon. I dont think there can be any galaxy near the border of the universe since that also would mean that there's a center of the universe (as in: where the big bang happened)
Maybe both the end of the universe and the center of the universe are located in another dimension. Awesome video though. Subscribed too.
@@sassepas A common misconception is that the Big Bang expanded outward like a sphere, which isn't true (at least, according to current science). The Big Bang occurred everywhere at once, and all space expanded simultaneously. I admit I don't fully understand this paradox, because according to BB, all matter and energy was compressed into a single point. If the natural laws of physics are to be followed, an explosion and/or expansion from a single point would inevitably constitute an expanding "sphere." I think it has to do with *_space_* also being compressed and expanding, not just the objects within it.
With regards to what lies beyond the cosmic horizon, I'm about 90% certain what lies beyond is just more of the same -- empty space dotted with galaxies. There's no reason to think otherwise, because the cosmic horizon is nothing more than the edge of the *_observable_* universe. Observation has no bearing on reality itself, so it's perfectly logical that objects could and do exist beyond this barrier; we just can't see them.
As for an "edge" to the universe, that will probably never be known unless The Big Crunch ends up being true. At present, such an "edge" would exist well beyond our cosmic horizon, and thus could never be reached.
Food for thought: Current estimates put the age of the universe at 14 billion years old, based on background radiation measured in deep space. However, as this radiation travels at C, it's plausible that the universe is in fact, much older and what we've observed is only what managed to escape our cosmic horizon and reach us.
@@dylanbrooke8322 we wouldnt know anyway... if we could see the 'edge of the universe' from our position, how would we know it was the edge? How could we see it? We couldn't...

Heckin memes holy shit... that thought FUCKING SCARES me... what if there’s something we can’t see just due to our positioning, something that other distant life forms who WERE intelligent noticed and which helped them understand the universe way more to the point where they leaped at it?!

Then again, maybe the closest to other life forms there are is just a leaflike structure who just kinda... exists.
