      Assuming FTL travel is impossible, and that near-light travel is too unfeasibly difficult, we'd just need more time to be able to reach other galaxies. I'm not exactly sure how much time, but it would help if things weren't moving away from us faster than we can move towards them.

      In my mind, Gravity, Dark Energy & Dark Matter are all due to the Higgs Repulsive Force.
      The Higgs pre-dates the Big Bang, an event I view as the birth of a flare, rather than a bang.
      A theory I call the Condensate Flare Theory.
      Gravity is repulsive, the Higgs Repulsive Force.
      The Higgs, well near pure Higgs, empty space, is at ground state & in Condensate. It repulses everything else. As matter is locally bound energy its component energies are repulsed in multiple directions, & it in effect does not repulse, so the Higgs does the next best thing & pustules matter together.
      Dark Matter is the Higgs Repulsive Force, well the pustule tension between pure Higgs (Vacuum of Space) & corrupted/dirty Higgs in the pustules (Dark Matter Halos).
      Dark Energy is the Higgs Repulsive Force.

  • @bewilderbeestie
    @bewilderbeestie 2 месяца назад +38

    You forgot a bit regarding the Big Freeze: just because everything's at a thermodynamic equilibrium, quantum effects still apply. You still get virtual particles appearing and disappearing. The more complex the particle, the lower the probability, but the probability never becomes zero --- which means that if you wait long enough, macroscopic objects start appearing out of the vacuum. You have to wait really ridiculous lengths of time before anything interesting appears, but nothing's happening; you literally have an infinite amount of time available. Objects of the same complexity as a human start appearing every 10^10^50 years (yes, that's 10 to the power of 10^50); go look up the Boltzmann Brain concept if you want to have trouble sleeping.
    But it gets even weirder. Particles with enough energy to form a new monobloc, that is, a new Big Bang causing a universe appear every 10^10^10^56 years. As there are only about 10^10^115 possible universes, almost immediately (on these timescales!) you reach a point where _every single possible universe_ has been created. And each one of those expands, reaches its own Big Freeze, and starts spawning universes of its own...

      People have always sought for a kind of neat answer, geocentrism, heliocentric, steady state, oscillating universe. We are always confounded by the reality.
      Professor Weinberg showed that any successive bounces would have ever increasing proportions of matter to energy, resulting in slower, more sticky expansions. That matter would be left over from the previous crunch.
      Now the proportion of matter to energy in the Big Bang appears to be 0:100 at time 0, which means that IF we lived in an oscillating universe, this is the first expansion. There was no previous crunch.
      Which creates a science and philosophical problem, what happened before, if "before " has any meaning.

    A funky thought,
    As you transition past the event horizon of a black-hole, "toward the singularity" becomes a timeline, rather than a physical place.
    We do have an event horizon in our universe, just past what we think of as the big bang. What if the expansion is just us falling toward the center of this universe's singularity?
    And.. if expansion is increasing, perhaps there's an asymptotic function for the external-universe's (the universe outside ours) distance-traveled per unit time of whatever makes up "us" (if such a thing could be said to exist)... we experience more time the closer we get to the center... hm.

    The currently favored view is that, at some time in the far future, anyone in any galaxy will be unable to see beyond the distance to any other galaxies. All they will ever know of is their own galaxy. Well, then, could it be that some parts of the Universe were visible in the past, but that because of cosmic expansion, they have already become forever invisible to us?

      Yes. In fact, we believe this ties into why the universe looks so smooth on cosmic scales - the manner in which the "cosmic horizon" grows and shrinks during different periods in the universe's history suggests that the homogeneity is kinda sorta because parts of the universe used to be visible to us, but are no longer visible.

Maybe not the atoms themselves, or even the quarks, but the energy that makes up those particles. Given infinite universe loops (and the idea that energy can't be created or destroyed), who's to say that the stuff that "makes me" in the present won't "make me" again in the future?

      In my mind, Gravity, Dark Energy & Dark Matter are all due to the Higgs Repulsive Force.
      The Higgs pre-dates the Big Bang, an event I view as the birth of a flare, rather than a bang.
      A theory I call the Condensate Flare Theory.
      Gravity is repulsive, the Higgs Repulsive Force.
      The Higgs, well near pure Higgs, empty space, is at ground state & in Condensate. It repulses everything else. As matter is locally bound energy its component energies are repulsed in multiple directions, & it in effect does not repulse, so the Higgs does the next best thing & pustules matter together.
      Dark Matter is the Higgs Repulsive Force, well the pustule tension between pure Higgs (Vacuum of Space) & corrupted/dirty Higgs in the pustules (Dark Matter Halos).
      Dark Energy is the Higgs Repulsive Force.

      Infinity could go both ways, so if what you are saying was true, the probability of atoms rearranging before and us remembering that, would be possible.

    Roughly speaking, our universe goes through 4 stages or cycles and then everything starts again from the beginning...
    The 4 main cycles: 1. Infant universe - 2. Expanding universe - 3. Contracting universe - 4. End cycle = collapse of matter
    To claim that the universe will one day "die" completely is, in my opinion, adventurous.
    I assume that these 4 cycles of existence repeat themselves again and again and represent, so to speak, an endless, eternal process... ⚖
    When I look at the almost perfect functioning of our universe, I come to the conclusion that the universe has already gone through several complete cycles of existence.
    If we analyze the current evolution phase, it´s simply too well organized and advanced...

    Idk why but I find peace in the idea that eventually everything dies and nothing else happens. Every cosmic titan ceases to exist and the violence of fighting to survive ends. Like the ending of a book that I struggle to understand with larger concepts my brain strains to understand, a relief that it’s over even though I enjoyed some of the time I was reading.

    I feel like this is an equivocation a channel of this calibre should not be making, and yet I hear it again and again. Can't say it's not disappointing.

    Read Revelations; it provides all the answers you'll need. You have two choices Heaven or Hell. Pick one!

    I am currently in the Dunning-Kruger effect's Valley of Despair. I don't know if I will ever be intelligent enough to understand entropy and heat death - it probably doesn't help that I have a bottle of wine behind me - but thanks for trying to explain it as best you can. Liked and subscribed!

      Imagine the amazing concept of you sitting in that strange place, decanting lovely wine made by a bunch of other guys, what are the possibilities of that happening in the first place, surreal strange and fantastic

    What's really interesting about crossing the cosmic horizon is that it'll be the " universe " that was believed to exist by astronomers ( and everyone ) prior to 1929.

    Something is attracting all galaxies to somewhere, probably all to the same place. Considering the universe is expanding faster than it can keep up with makes me wonder if there will be another big bang. Repeating the universe again and another scientific civilization question the same thing we are.

      Well said, if it is going faster than it can keep up with ( which is funny as ) then there won't be time for a bang, and if a bang occurs it will be so far behind us that we won't know about it 🙂
