I don't like that idea, because that would mean, that the expanding dimensional shockwave would overlap infinitely on that donut shape, which could potentially work like drawing a line on a mobius loop and wiping it shortly after,leaving no mark behind, just a short bit of line that is being drawn and then removed over and over again. Donut means infinite in a closed loop, which would probably kill us, if space expands faster than light (with some theories suggesting that it can reach infinite speeds, the longer the expansion progresses). I mean, how often did we (the universe) die so far in our life time? Not at all (at least not all at once), which makes me imagine that space expands away from us (and with us) in a spherical shape.
Every single letter of the Hebrew Alphabet/Torah comes from a the torus. It's really mind blowing stuff if you start to analyze it, but not many people know this.
There’s an episode of BBC horizon from around 2004 that dives into the consequences of infinity, it is a complete mind f*ck. Everything that can happen has and will happen... if infinity is real then somewhere I just shit myself and guess what, you did too.
Infinity is what to you? That anything can become anything at anytime or that anything will become it's infinite form in it's infinite time? So...that's only two forms to infinity. What if infinity has many different forms...what if infinity has infinite forms?
Just think of this; probabilities mean absolutely nothing if the universe is infinite. Therefore all of our calculations are basically useless in the long run.
Ger Loke there are a lot of theories regarding infinity. One being an explanation for quantum wave function collapse. That when the superposition collapses into a particle or wave that the other state doesn’t actually disappear but splits off into another multiverse and that this happens for every single event that occurs. I can’t give a good explanation of this because I’m not nearly versed enough but I also seem to remember reading that some infinite’s can be larger than others, possibly having to do with decimals. Whatever it is though, is nuts. Infinity is impossible for us to really conceive in our heads at the end of the day.

My money is on space curving itself in such a way that any attempt to reach the "end" will only result in being turned back the way you came or simply traveling along the edge.
yes, I've had this thought as well, but this would imply an "edge", even if that edge just means space-time curves and basically sends you back the way you came if you try to go further, which doesn't seem to be true. I guess we may never know
correct me if im wrong but i gather that the current presumption is that if you teleported to that remote galaxy on the observable edge, and then looked around, you'd likely now be able see another 47 billion light years worth of universe beyond that point, and you could possibly repeat that ad infinitum, taking 47-billion-light-year steps without ever hitting an actual edge
This is a very interesting, yet quite common, thought experiment. The possibilities are that you: 1. Eventually meet a true edge (what are its features -- does it repel you or do you fall into an abyss?) This seems like a flat-earth type universe 2. It loops around and you eventually can arrive back where you started 3. You keep on hopping, seeing something different each time Did I miss any possibilities?

I dont think there is a physical edge of the universe, since the universe is expanding, and the further to the edge of the universe you go, the faster the expansion, and if you go explore the edge of the universe, before you reach there, you will see that the expansion speed is approaching lightspeed, and even beyond at some point, which means at that moment, every atom beyond that point is move away from each other faster than light can travel, in other words, you wont see anything but pure darkness, and I cant imagine anyway to overcome that. Which is like I said, there is no physical edge, but in a visual sense, the point where everything moves away from each other at lightspeed would be the edge
I don't think that atoms can move away from each other faster than light. Atoms are matter and according to Relativity the mass of an object increases the faster it moves. This means that at the speed of light, the mass of an atom would be infinite. So long before it reaches 1c, every atom would've turned into a black hole already. I don't think that the expansion of the universe has something to do with the expansion of the objects (or atoms).
@@nuclearping but you forgot that speed is relative, the speed of expansion of space is also a different thing than the speed an object has on it's own. Someone travelling near lightspeed can will still see light traveling at lightspeed. When atoms move away from each other beyond speed of light, the atoms themselves dont have the speed, but rather it's the tearing of the space that's faster than speed of light. For example, the galaxy very far away from us is moving very fast, but that doesn't mean our mass and their mass increase because of it. Speed of space expanding is not speed of an object moving
The big problem here is that humankind seems to not accept de concept that we just - don't know - and all explanations are just speculations. The people have a tendency to say that the universe is 14 billion light-years of age or sometimes 14 billion light-years of diameter, but the truth is that we did not scrutinize the whole sky (that is with this finality also infinite) and that that portion of the universe probably also expanded along this period.

Technically, the Universe can be considered "flat" though. Personally, I think most "flat-earthers" are trolls, because they were largely ignored until I see comments and videos complaining about them.
@@leonardwei3914 Uneducated people are incapable of meaningful discussion on most matters, therefore will take any attention they can get, even the mockery. They're best ignored, but alas, many of us (me included) can't resist the urge to poke them with a stick now and then. Oh well, humans, eh.
It was interesting to know how you got interested into astrophysics. I could Identify myself a lot in what you said. My fascination started later than you but I would keep trying to imagine how the fabric of space worked, what would make gravity work the way it does. And here I am, studying Astronomy in a local university. Thanks for making this channel and sharing your fascination to others.
I remember when I was little wondering the same thing. Imagining speeding through the vastness of space in a straight line and how it would be possible for it to continue forever. Now several years later I have come to believe that our universe is just inside something else, a building block for a larger universe. We are probably a subatomic particle of a larger universe. It's very logical when considering we can only see things down to a certain scale and same goes the other way. Humans I find don't like to think this way for some reason, I guess they feel like it belittles them but even the Milky Way does that if it were all that there was in the universe.
I'll never forget the eureka feeling I had when I learned the basics of how stars glow. I had never really thought about it, and learning about the fusion, and equilibrium of push and gravity, and the cycle through red giant to white dwarf or supernova to neutron star. That was the biggest learning moment I can think of in my life.
Also, physics don't work at a universal speed, so the faster space moves, the slower the physics in that space work. This is actually why time exists... Kinda... There is theoretical science that points to the possibility that the expansion of the universe is actually the passage of time, and vice versa. "like how objects look farther away in three-dimensional area".
It's all just assumptions in the theories. You can make whatever assumptions you want. The best theory is the one that minimizes and simplifies the assumptions. Einstein initially assumed the speed of light was a constant in all reference frames. This is all good in SR, but In GR, to keep the speed of light constant, you have to warp space and time. There is, possibly, a better answer. You could make an alternate theory where space and time were consistent, but it would complicate other things.
When I was a young child in elementary school during Solar system studies my teacher kept arguing with me and raised her voice at me when I kept saying "maybe there is some life on another planet" 💖🌎💖

Always good to see you Anton . You do a great service in showing interesting , educational , videos . As opposed to the empty , rediculous programing others are producing . Thank you.
I believe the universe has no end, but at some point there will be no matter, no stars, no galaxies, no planets, just an endless nothing, and imagining this _nothing_ gives me goosebumps
We don't know yet whether it's like that or matter goes on and on forever in every direction. I'm not sure which option is more puzzling, to be honest.
There is a club at the end of the universe , its called club at the end of the universe , that is where ppl from around go to despair just before the end of the universe . Its probably going to be included in next patch
I Think You & I Agree that when you reach the Edge if the Visible Universe, you would find yourself in the Center of the Visible Universe. Again. And Again. We Only See an Ancient Bubble of Light.
Kind of fun, as you talk about beyond observable, that your hand every now and then disappear behind this "horizon". Thank you for making the incomprehensible more accessible. Maybe you could sell T-shirts, hooded jackets and mugs with your logo on them?

Electricity is light as it is a plasma thru a conductor. So Birkland currents exist in space from the properties of electricity. The edge of the universe is the infinity of a toroid.
I like your video cause I also had the same thought 6 months ago. We can travel by steps. It all depends on 2 things; The speed of light and eyesight. The better and further the sight the bigger step you can make.
I love how my mind is blown away by your vids. Its regular that after watching I pause my life for a moment to contemplate the insane beauty of the experience that life is. Thanks, it feels wonderful ;)
All the accumulated knowledge we have of the universe is about the equivalent of watching .0004 seconds of a 4 hour movie. And concluding you know the plot, charcters and outcome.
i was about to say something similar. i laugh at those who claim they know what it is. "this is what you would see at the edge of the universe! i know because google told me!"
Also we may be able to see in the future how big the universe simply because entanglement shows no regard for speed. Maybe there's a universe debugging dimension or something.
Just come across this video, light years late. Very well put together, and clearly explained and I think I understand it, from your viewpoint. Great detail and links.
I think it would be possible to reach the end even if it go faster than light cause the "environment" also "bring" you with itself (witch is a fact that is never considered in this subject), that + your actual speed should do it ( near light speed or even better subspace ftl)
Interesting. Guess I kinda knew this but you put it together. Dr Neil has said that what keeps him up at night is that many many years later when the galaxies are no longer visible, people will imagine what is out there, and that he wonders what we could have seen billions of years ago that we can no longer see.
_I don't know so no one knows_ and _I have no idea what scientists think so I'll act like I do and criticize them_ is not how any of this works. You don't get a pass on ignorance by claiming _can't win, don't try_ and you don't get to justify yourself as clever in the process.
Hi Anton! About expansion of the universe. I do not think that the existing mass and energy is a constant. Particles will form instantly by the dark energy or dark matter, and therefore new material, gas, molekules and so on will form. The universe will not become dark.
James webb...2006...2012...then 2016...now2021....then 2024...then cancelled !!!!! Freaking gov... six I been waiting vigourously... sick of waiting waiting .... I will be past the edge ..b4 webb goes up
There is no edge as there is not center. Everything is the edge and center at the same time? Think of the universe as a balloon. place a dot on the balloon's outer surface before you blow it up, or inflate it. The balloon is actualy one singularity point. now you atr at its center and outer edge at the same time. Now blow it up and you'll see that everything moves away from you fro your place at what appears to be the center. You can only see the distance to the point where the balloon curves which equates to the limit of observable universe due to the limitations of the speed of light. Now since the balloon experienced inflation and our center seemed to not have moved, when in fact we have also moved on the outer side/edge of the universe.
Time, past and future. So we will never see the universe as it is now, only as it was in the past. Its just too imaginally big. The black holes in the universe, hold the greatest key in understanding the universe.
Hi Anton, I have been watching your videos since a month or two and I find it quite interesting. Thanks for making such a wonderful, imaginative and creative content. It has created an interest in me to know more about you and your work.
Teleporting somewhere about 40billion light years away from us would be a time travel to the past. So amazing, yet scary a little bit. How amazing our universe is!
It is very depressing knowing the big scale of the universe. Not because it is big or infinite but because it’s so big that our existence is irrelevant to the knowledge we may discover about the nature of space.
smashed it :) the moment when the left and right side of the observable universe (furthest apart emission bodies) become the base of a triangle 0.0 recurring 1 degrees apart from a triangle point, love this guy. Really mental point though, when the Sun ignited all those years ago, it was in a different (moving'ish) space, travelling no where near the speed of light, and the points observed today are along a hypotenuse line of sight compared to when the sun ignited 4bil+ years ago (and the sun wasn't travelling at the speed of light)
If we travel exactly as fast as light does, and we go to a planet soo far away, when we look back to our planet from that planet, will we see the exact moment we started travelling?
@@nilsman4994 Imagine that someone is waving at you and then you travel for like 30 years at lightspeed, when you look back to the planet, that guy is still waving at you.
this was part of a question i was asked once if u were looking at a mirror and traveling away from it at the speed of light what would u see? its an interesting thought experiment for those that have never before
+Cid Sapient I'd Imagine you wouldn't be able to see anything in front of you if you were traveling backwards at light speed. If you are traveling the same speed as light, then how could the photons reach your eyes?
Yes you would. Its the same thing that we would see materials very close to the edge of an black hole but in reality they went in the black hole millions of years ago.

2:00 flat earthers intensifies
except Amish people
Technically, the Universe can be considered "flat" though.
Personally, I think most "flat-earthers" are trolls, because they were largely ignored until I see comments and videos complaining about them.
Leonard Wei I hope that's true because I sadly know at least 6 people personally who actually believe that the earth is flat.
Please don't mention those folk. They always have me at a loss for words. Everything is a lie to them and it drives me crazy
@@leonardwei3914 Uneducated people are incapable of meaningful discussion on most matters, therefore will take any attention they can get, even the mockery. They're best ignored, but alas, many of us (me included) can't resist the urge to poke them with a stick now and then. Oh well, humans, eh.
It was interesting to know how you got interested into astrophysics. I could Identify myself a lot in what you said. My fascination started later than you but I would keep trying to imagine how the fabric of space worked, what would make gravity work the way it does. And here I am, studying Astronomy in a local university. Thanks for making this channel and sharing your fascination to others.
2:16 *I sure am glad* no one's stupid enough to believe that crap, anymore.
Are you sure? Check out the Flat Earth Society. It's more commonly known as the Flatards society.
Welp..

This video is amazing. Hadn't seen it for a year or so and rewatched. Man this is good. Well done Anton, thank you
I remember when I was little wondering the same thing. Imagining speeding through the vastness of space in a straight line and how it would be possible for it to continue forever. Now several years later I have come to believe that our universe is just inside something else, a building block for a larger universe. We are probably a subatomic particle of a larger universe. It's very logical when considering we can only see things down to a certain scale and same goes the other way. Humans I find don't like to think this way for some reason, I guess they feel like it belittles them but even the Milky Way does that if it were all that there was in the universe.
I'll never forget the eureka feeling I had when I learned the basics of how stars glow. I had never really thought about it, and learning about the fusion, and equilibrium of push and gravity, and the cycle through red giant to white dwarf or supernova to neutron star. That was the biggest learning moment I can think of in my life.
There is nothing in the Field Equations to proscribe Space from expanding faster than the Speed of Light. It is Matter, not Space, which is limited.
Also, physics don't work at a universal speed, so the faster space moves, the slower the physics in that space work. This is actually why time exists... Kinda...
There is theoretical science that points to the possibility that the expansion of the universe is actually the passage of time, and vice versa. "like how objects look farther away in three-dimensional area".
It's all just assumptions in the theories. You can make whatever assumptions you want. The best theory is the one that minimizes and simplifies the assumptions. Einstein initially assumed the speed of light was a constant in all reference frames. This is all good in SR, but In GR, to keep the speed of light constant, you have to warp space and time. There is, possibly, a better answer. You could make an alternate theory where space and time were consistent, but it would complicate other things.
Yes, Warp Engines
Imagination can be like a feeding frenzy, never to be satisfied, and it is always hungry. A quote from my father.
When I was a young child in elementary school during Solar system studies my teacher kept arguing with me and raised her voice at me when I kept saying "maybe there is some life on another planet" 💖🌎💖
I’ve always had a fascination with astronomy on RUclips but most videos would bore me. Your videos are the only ones I can watch from start to finish 🙏🏽 thanks for your efforts, I really enjoy your videos!!!
Always good to see you Anton . You do a great service in showing interesting , educational , videos . As opposed to the empty , rediculous programing others are producing . Thank you.
There is no beginning no end. Life is stranger than fiction. Also @Anton Petrov you are amazing thank you everything you do. :D ~ Travis Ray Hernden
I believe the universe has no end, but at some point there will be no matter, no stars, no galaxies, no planets, just an endless nothing, and imagining this _nothing_ gives me goosebumps
We don't know yet whether it's like that or matter goes on and on forever in every direction. I'm not sure which option is more puzzling, to be honest.
what is your opinion about the great attractor?
Maybe a supergigantic black hole. or a superattractiv woman^^
MegaUnwetter aren’t they both the same thing?
Tonz Lang ☆ I think that has to do with Chaos Mathematics, not Gravity. Or Dating.
There is a club at the end of the universe , its called club at the end of the universe , that is where ppl from around go to despair just before the end of the universe . Its probably going to be included in next patch
for me, it was a thundercats cartoon, when they went to the edge of the universe my mind went into a frenzy
I Think You & I Agree that when you reach the Edge if the Visible Universe, you would find yourself in the Center of the Visible Universe. Again. And Again.
We Only See an Ancient Bubble of Light.
I love this video 🤘
I wanted to come back and watch it again
Kind of fun, as you talk about beyond observable, that your hand every now and then disappear behind this "horizon".
Thank you for making the incomprehensible more accessible.
Maybe you could sell T-shirts, hooded jackets and mugs with your logo on them?
Maybe make a competition for artists to elaborate on your logo or something else that you could use for promotion and merchandises. The price could be a signed photo of you, such a T-shirt or an imaginary planet created by you.
I come here for answers and I leave with more questions. I love it!
Electricity is light as it is a plasma thru a conductor. So Birkland currents exist in space from the properties of electricity. The edge of the universe is the infinity of a toroid.
The new version of Space Engine that will be released very soon will have a paid version on Steam iirc. But the free version will also still exist.
What's the difference between paid and free?

@regular idiot alt your name is the equivalent to my name. Epic
I've heard this explained many times before. But your explanation in this video is perhaps the best. Recommended.
Once again thank you for this awesome video. Great work!
Your degree of thoughts & concepts spin my mind to a panic of red pill inescapable knowledge of reality from consciousness to matter.
Hello beautiful person Antov.... awesome and educational without realising the 'educational' best wishes
I like your video cause I also had the same thought 6 months ago. We can travel by steps. It all depends on 2 things; The speed of light and eyesight. The better and further the sight the bigger step you can make.
Somehow you're a lecturer of a class consisting of nearly 300.000 students...
Dark Flow is the second most interesting cosmological topic to me.
Hope we'll find a technology to reach these far distances. Otherwise will be trapped in our "room" forever.
Minecraft has an end I believe.

I love how my mind is blown away by your vids. Its regular that after watching I pause my life for a moment to contemplate the insane beauty of the experience that life is. Thanks, it feels wonderful ;)
DUDE! Your video card kicks ASS! I wish I could afford something like that
Me too bruh...
All the accumulated knowledge we have of the universe is about the equivalent of watching .0004 seconds of a 4 hour movie. And concluding you know the plot, charcters and outcome.
i was about to say something similar. i laugh at those who claim they know what it is. "this is what you would see at the edge of the universe! i know because google told me!"
Quantum mechanics says that as long as there are observers that it will be like a Minecraft map.
Then you'll know
brilliant answers create new questions.

Also we may be able to see in the future how big the universe simply because entanglement shows no regard for speed. Maybe there's a universe debugging dimension or something.
It's still impossible thus far to send information using entanglement however.
Just come across this video, light years late. Very well put together, and clearly explained and I think I understand it, from your viewpoint. Great detail and links.
I think it would be possible to reach the end even if it go faster than light cause the "environment" also "bring" you with itself (witch is a fact that is never considered in this subject), that + your actual speed should do it ( near light speed or even better subspace ftl)
One of your most interesting videos yet, Anton. Keep up the great work!
8:30 How can anyone have a hard time imagining stuff just expanding away from each part
Interesting. Guess I kinda knew this but you put it together. Dr Neil has said that what keeps him up at night is that many many years later when the galaxies are no longer visible, people will imagine what is out there, and that he wonders what we could have seen billions of years ago that we can no longer see.
Little Anton : "mom how big is this universe"
Just imaginating anton being little saying that idk why but i finds it funny lol
Very informative and interesting, thank you.
is wonderful this hello anton person!
that makes no sense
Clear and concise. Very enlightening. Let's roll with that.
What if the acceleration of the expansion of the universe rips apart planets? Molecules? Atoms?
Nope, theyre sitting perfectly still, to them it is us that are moving beyond lightspeed.
Thank you Anton. Your presentation is a gift to us.
Itll continue going on and on and on. Question answered idc what the scientist "think" they know when we really don't know anything
_I don't know so no one knows_ and _I have no idea what scientists think so I'll act like I do and criticize them_ is not how any of this works. You don't get a pass on ignorance by claiming _can't win, don't try_ and you don't get to justify yourself as clever in the process.
Hi Anton! About expansion of the universe. I do not think that the existing mass and energy is a constant. Particles will form instantly by the dark energy or dark matter, and therefore new material, gas, molekules and so on will form. The universe will not become dark.
anton at 6: thinks about the vastness of space
me at 6: copying homework
There's a reason you only got three likes in a year
So crazy to think that the universe carries on, up, down, left,, right, forward and backwards.
Just think of how your video's will change after the James Web telescope gets on line. I cant wait!
Do you really think some telescope is going to show you the edge of the universe? No.
@@businessmail4929 that's not what he means. Anton doesn't talk about the edge of the universe exclusively.
James webb...2006...2012...then 2016...now2021....then 2024...then cancelled !!!!! Freaking gov... six I been waiting vigourously... sick of waiting waiting .... I will be past the edge ..b4 webb goes up
Wow.. it's beautiful. You are very intelligent. Your eyes even light up whilst watching it. Magnificent. Pure genius.
2:23 That's the best flat earth map I've ever seen. Careful...it kinda makes more sense than most. 🤦🏻♂️
Anton love your channel, an incredible lay man explanation of something not simple. Thankyou
There is no edge as there is not center. Everything is the edge and center at the same time? Think of the universe as a balloon. place a dot on the balloon's outer surface before you blow it up, or inflate it. The balloon is actualy one singularity point. now you atr at its center and outer edge at the same time. Now blow it up and you'll see that everything moves away from you fro your place at what appears to be the center. You can only see the distance to the point where the balloon curves which equates to the limit of observable universe due to the limitations of the speed of light. Now since the balloon experienced inflation and our center seemed to not have moved, when in fact we have also moved on the outer side/edge of the universe.
Time, past and future. So we will never see the universe as it is now, only as it was in the past. Its just too imaginally big. The black holes in the universe, hold the greatest key in understanding the universe.
someone was watching vsauce ;))
@@jordanbrowne7417 VSauce? LMAO Carl Sagan did this back in the 1970s.
Hi from Texas. Love your videos. I've been into the universe and especially black holes all my life.
It's not the edge of the universe, just our render distance 🤣
Hi Anton, I have been watching your videos since a month or two and I find it quite interesting. Thanks for making such a wonderful, imaginative and creative content. It has created an interest in me to know more about you and your work.
Anything near the edge would get pulled by the edges gravity. Also the universe spins so...
Teleporting somewhere about 40billion light years away from us would be a time travel to the past. So amazing, yet scary a little bit. How amazing our universe is!
The paradox. We cant comperhend that the universe is infinite, and we cant understand that our own lives are not.
The universe is not infinite, it's just infinitely expanding
Solved.
I can perfectly understand that my life isn't infinite
@@xavi5847 If so. Whats on the other side of the end, and how big is that ? 😊
@@xavi5847 how do you know? Have you been there?
It is very depressing knowing the big scale of the universe. Not because it is big or infinite but because it’s so big that our existence is irrelevant to the knowledge we may discover about the nature of space.
Maybe we are falling into a black hole and time dilation makes us not notice how fast we fall.
smashed it :) the moment when the left and right side of the observable universe (furthest apart emission bodies) become the base of a triangle 0.0 recurring 1 degrees apart from a triangle point, love this guy.
Really mental point though, when the Sun ignited all those years ago, it was in a different (moving'ish) space, travelling no where near the speed of light, and the points observed today are along a hypotenuse line of sight compared to when the sun ignited 4bil+ years ago (and the sun wasn't travelling at the speed of light)
If we travel exactly as fast as light does, and we go to a planet soo far away, when we look back to our planet from that planet, will we see the exact moment we started travelling?
Yes, if you move at light speed, you would see the exact moment you left it about 100 years ago.
@@nilsman4994 Imagine that someone is waving at you and then you travel for like 30 years at lightspeed, when you look back to the planet, that guy is still waving at you.
this was part of a question i was asked once
if u were looking at a mirror and traveling away from it at the speed of light what would u see?
its an interesting thought experiment for those that have never before
+Cid Sapient I'd Imagine you wouldn't be able to see anything in front of you if you were traveling backwards at light speed. If you are traveling the same speed as light, then how could the photons reach your eyes?
Yes you would. Its the same thing that we would see materials very close to the edge of an black hole but in reality they went in the black hole millions of years ago.
3:20. Western australia is so sparcely poulated the lights seen in the imagery as daylight breaks across the east and central australia is completely inaccurate.
