Universes form and collapse all the time with various random imbalances of matter/antimatter. Only the universes with extreme ratio imbalances are coherent for long enough for SciShow to wonder why.
I like how confidently we talk about the origins of things and how we are always surprised the universe isn’t abiding by our understandings about it.
To be honest, nobody is surprised that the universe isn't abiding, it is but a matter of course, if did know all, we would need scientists no more, the whole existence of scientists is because even if we know very well a lot of things, there are a bunch of other things that we still do not understand.
And we research it for tech, for example researching in to this may lead us to know how to create matter from photons without the antiparticle annihilating the particle
Neither of those things are happening for anyone with an understanding of what science is. In this very video he references the fact that this is just our best understanding at this time. And no one that knows how understanding evolves is surprised by new information.
Exactly
fun, isn't it? enjoy the ride! 😁
There are few things that we understood and a bunch that we don’t know yet. I don’t understand where the problem is, should we give up and pretend that we don’t know anything ? There is also a bunch of people that are convinced that a guy created it and they stick with this nonsense forever
Antimatter: Exists
Universe: It doesn't matter

I love how these fundamental questions show us how little we know.
@@Io-vz2jq I believe anti matter and anti energy are a very smaller percent of matter. If it were any larger, it would cancel out the matter. Are you talking about dark matter?
In other words its true the more we learn the less we know
@@Io-vz2jq That isn't what you learned so I don't think it was the scientists fault you just should've paid more attention, you learned about Dark Matter since that is the force we believe makes up 85% of the Universe due to its gravitational force on objects. Anti-matter and Dark Matter are completely different they just happen to share a similar name.

“The story so far: in the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
- Douglas Adams
Is that from exurb1a?
Mr Joe no its from hitchhickers guide to the galaxy
The Universe wasn't created. It was always there. It embraces all time, all space and all things that have existed, exist now and will exist in the future. It has no before and no outside. Nothing existed before it that could have been its cause. Nothing exists outside it that could be the source or goal of its purpose or the reference point for its meaning. It cannot conceivably have any cause or purpose. The All is its own cause, purpose and designer.
"How, therefore, shall we satisfy ourselves concerning the cause of that Being whom you suppose the Author of Nature, or, according to your system of Anthropomorphism, the ideal world, into which you trace the material? Have we not the same reason to trace that ideal world into another ideal world, or new intelligent principle? But if we stop, and go no further; why go so far? why not stop at the material world? How can we satisfy ourselves without going on in infinitum? And, after all, what satisfaction is there in that infinite progression? Let us remember the story of the Indian philosopher and his elephant. It was never more applicable than to the present subject. If the material world rests upon a similar ideal world, this ideal world must rest upon some other; and so on, without end. It were better, therefore, never to look beyond the present material world. By supposing it to contain the principle of its order within itself, we really assert it to be God; and the sooner we arrive at that Divine Being, so much the better. When you go one step beyond the mundane system, you only excite an inquisitive humour which it is impossible ever to satisfy."

That's real it's what causes Hawking radiation. Particles always pop into and out of existence and annihilate each other. One could be at each side of the event horizon. One falls in and the other escapes, stealing a little bit of mass from the blackhole. Even then it's just a miniscule amount and it still doesn't explain why there is so much matter.

Well dear. When a particle and an anti particle are very attracted to each other, they merge together and annihilate each other in an explosion that irradiates all their friends nearby.

It shouldn’t, the universe is a simulation that is being run by a much more intelligent life form. It explains why everything, everywhere is run by the exact same physics engine, almost like a game, no matter where, the universe runs on numbers
Agree
@@CasusCantare You know that it doen't really explain ANYTHING? In fact, all it does is pushing the history of the universe to a much more distant past. More than that, there's no reason for the universe to have different laws of physics at different locations. In fact, spaces with different laws of physics can be considered their own independent universes, because those parts won't be able to interact with each other in any way (or almost any way). So, no, it does not support simulation hypothesis at all. It is, if I am not mistaken, a "Causal Fallacy". You commited it when you thought: "Computer games have identical physics everywhere. Our universe has identical physics everywhere. Therefore our universe is a, most likely, computer simulation".
@@CasusCantare what if it tuns out that the answer to the fermi paradox is that our simulation just so happens to be the one that is meant to answer the question "what happens to a civilization that evolves in complete isolation" :'(

"The weak force treats a particle made of charm quarks differently"
...that should be a quote
Try this: Matter and anti-matter were separated into their own dimensions at the beginning of time. All of that anti-matter still exists in a parallel (or negative) dimension. On the rare occasion when anti-matter pokes into our dimension so too does regular matter poke into the anti-matter dimension and "annihilation" occurs. The two dimensions are each other's shadow, and one cannot exist without the other. As long as the two types of matter stay in their respective dimension, things are cool. (He passes the doobie.)
I just happened across this video and your comment which is similar to the one I just added. The idea that matter and antimatter went their separate ways in the early universe would not make it impossible for antimatter to be manufactured in limited and short term instances. The same would be true for the antimatter realm. I picked the time dimension as the differentiation factor. One nice thing about that is that when annihilation occurs, the energy could be just the release of both particles potential time energy being released as they both return to zero time. That is, turned to energetic photons which reside outside of the time dimension since they move at c.
Makes me just look out the window, gaze, and say... "damn...."
When we come to a conclusion different from what the actual answer is, we tend to call that "incorrect"
Alternatively you could call everything else fake news and try to be the loudest person in the room.
@@RadexyTV *cough* trump *cough*
Well in maths and sciences, you can have models that aren't totally accurate, but are accurate enough for certain circumstances. For instance: Newtonian Physics is great at explainging mechanics when you aren't dealing with relative frames of references. You could use a more accurate model that is much more complex, but that's just impractical.
Science is about getting less and less wrong. And that's ok.
Exactly maybe our understanding of the universe is wrong.

@@brogant6793 You're not speaking for everyone.
Alexis Rodriguez just justifying this one coming first :)
My ex was a strange matter
So if matter and antimatter look the same, there could be entire regions of the universe made of antimatter, like super-clusters of galaxies separated by vast intergalactic voids ensuring they never interact with 'matter' galaxies. Or perhaps just our part of the observable universe is 'matter'. For all we know, matter and antimatter were exactly equal but slightly uneven distribution ensured that it got separated in the beginning due to expansion.
Now a hypothetical question if anyone has an answer... What would happen if an antimatter black hole collided with a matter black hole of exactly equal mass?
There shouldn't be a distinction between the two, are you thinking of a white hole...
@@brunoagostini1355 there is a Distinction because an Antimatter blackhole would have an Opposite charge of a Black hole... They come from a sourse of matter, A dying star which means its Mass and since Gravity exists in this Matter Form Antimatter should exist in the opposite Force... the same with White Holes... so it's a legit question
I'm not sure how the black hole thing would work as it is literally not matter but just a hole in spacetime
He specifically said gaps of anti matter can't be possible otherwise we would consistently see the production of gamma rays st the boundary between theee two spaces at the edge of the universe.

"Our understanding of physics tells us the universe shouldn't exist." Well, to me, that just sounds like something in our "understanding" of physics isn't actually understood, huh?
Well yes, that's why we do science. But the reason this is "surprising" is that the standard model is the model that is the most consistent with the known behavior of reality that we have available. Basically it works for just about everything, but the theory behind it says that twe shouldn't exist. So yes we know it's wrong, the problem is to figure out where it's wrong since it works reallly well. It's easier to improve when the model is more flawed because each flaw is an hint towards the next improvement.
A time-tested fact: the contemporary knowledge of the world/existence is all we need to know and is indefinitely correct.
There's also no such thing as 'contradiction', because either one sc. fact is automatically factually wrong.
7:51 just off the top of my head, the real issues of how the universe got started, and how it yielded a variety of particles, lays outside and "before" the universe as we know it began. That is to say there's probably a larger process and/or basic set of laws (or one law) that explains not just our universe, but other universes outside and apart from our own that we'll only be able to imagine and never really be able to put to the test. But it will be basic, it will explain our universe's laws of physics, and will be able to explain pretty much everything physical. It may be as basic as quantum gravity, but I'm thinking it's a bit, but not too much, beyond that.

Hey, thanks a lot for that video and all others!
Would it be possible that a primitive black hole ate randomly more antimatter than matter, then led to the unequilibrium we know today?
Perhaps these 2 types of matter clumped into large pockets, divided due to the exansion of the Universe separating them and causing them to not annihlate each other completely, and gravity pulling themselves together, and these pockets being so large and far from each other that annihalation barely persists today. Perhaps the Observable Universe is just one of many large pockets of matter, and isn’t too far-fecthed seeing as how large the Universe is expected to be.
I think resolving the anti-matter question will answer how we are all here, not why. I do not believe there is a scientific answer to why were are here.
We are here, why? Because it was possible for us and for life in general. Nothing more to it than that.
@@rykehuss3435 that's what I was going to say lol. The odds of this universe behaving as it is are astronomical, but not impossible. Any number of things could've happened. If the strength of one fundamental force was different, nothing might've been able to come together at all, or even form atoms. The universe could've been nothing more than single particles zooming past each other for all eternity unable to overcome the electromagnetic force.

Are you convinced that we're so important, so unique that the universe is somehow stressed out by our presence? That we're anything other than an ant contemplating the purpose of dirt...
@@BeingFireRetardant What trouble? Why does our existence need a purpose? I can understand why an individual would need to justify to him/herself why he/she matters, but that's just a coping mechanism at the end of the day. Why even bother with thinking about the purpose of an entire species? There's no definitive, absolute answer. Nothing even close to that. I personally think there isn't one. Humanity doesn't have a goal, it just does what it does with some degree of predictability. People don't get what they deserve, they just get what they get. Being born isn't anything special; you're here, but the universe doesn't owe you anything.

I had an idea/thought experiment.
So say there are a bunch of Photons that are going to split into positive and negative quarks. Not too far away however is something that has a very large positive charge to it. When the Photons split the negative quarks are attracted to this large charge, and the positive quarks repelled. Then the negative quarks either get trapped or impact the source of the large charge and get altered/destroyed. Something like micro black hole might be able to do it? Just an idea. :)

Shloopers favorite comment.
If what we "know" says that the universe should not exist and the universe persists in existing then what we "know" is "wrong".
Almost as if constant falsification of hypotheses is the scientific method but you thought that was a gotcha, didn't you? I bet you're a creationist.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

My little brain can’t handle this much knowledge
But how can we know the universe actually does exist if we don’t know if our eyes exist
We don't.
What are you reading these comments with if not the eyes in your head? Our whole bodies exist and so do other planes of existence. It all exists.
Antimatter: We were supposed to be a unit
Matter: SUCK MY UNIT
I used to have this argument all the time with my colleagues all that needed to happen at the Big Bang was for antimatter to go one direction and matter to go the other. Because of inflation, we would see no trace of the antimatter half, and that half would see no trace of ours
The thing I want to know is why the universe didnt immediately recreate another singularity because there was wayyyyyyy more matter/energy density needed to create a black hole.
Inflation. Else it does not seem to work. Search for Alan Guth...
@@LuisAldamiz Maybe , no inflation and no singularity, but something else
@@razvanm2217 - Penrose's model? I find it attractive too but maybe something else altogether. In any case inflation is the mainline model and a reasonable, even if ultimately uncertain, answer to the original question.

@@400nm2 Well, in that case, how can that be studied reliably?
@@w3irdo13 thing's can only be measured "reliably", not fully studied. I believe that was the point. Creativity, not sticking to safe pre-existing assumptions.
@@400nm2 Science doesn't stick to assumptions, it sticks to evidence.
The easiest answer, relatively speaking is we know almost nothing about the universe. 8)

This. This whole thing just screams “we don’t really know what’s happening at all.” These theories are fun, but there’s no way we’re anywhere near how the universe actually began.

Thank you. THAT is the reasonable response to such little evidence and such massive speculation.
That's why it's so curious when people get so matter of fact about pure guesses.
@@HydetheRapper That reasoning is dangerous as it leads the weak and lazy to assume a God figure created it.
n3Cr0ManCeD Uncertainty is neither evidence for nor against God. No explanation precludes the possibility of a divine power. Pretending to have answers to events that we are far from understanding is much more likely to lead people to justifiable skepticism of science as a whole. “We don’t really know” doesn’t lead to mistrust. Stating that we do when we don’t, does-especially when our entire theory is upended by pieces of evidence that we couldn’t see, much less understand.
Of course we should do the best we can with what we have, and we should always be trying to frame the evidence we have in the most cohesive manner possible, but pretending that we have all the answers doesn’t help. It hurts.
