I mean, matter in space likes to rotate. Whatever was before the BB was rotating. So it makes sense that it's flat, because that's how things that rotate and suddenly pop out go about. It would also explain the super old galaxies. They likely existed preBB.

Honestly the idea of a looping universe makes more sense to my mind than a universe with a hard edge like many people thing. The universe having a defined edge just opens up so many more questions.
Who's suggesting a universe with a "hard edge"? None of the possibilities, spherical, hyperbolic or flat, have an edge.The Pringles-analogy doesn't mean that the universe would end at the rim of the Pringle - it would be an infinitely large 4D-Pringle. Same goes for the flat version.
Is it just me, or did this feel like an older video? I love it, perfect blend of science and comedy, and the sneaky Pringles container just wouldn't stop! Never underestimate the sneakiness...
I'm a plasma physicist. I'm in my last year of undergrad and planning to study cosmology in graduate school. From my knowledge of physics, the universe is a 3D subspace of a 4D object. I know I just used a scary sounding word. I promise it's not that scary. Imagine the 3D earth. It is a sphere. The surface of the earth is 2D. We call a one-dimensional lower space of a manifold the subspace. A manifold is a bit more scary cause, technically, we have to get into calculus to define it. The strict definition is a shape that is differentiable at every point. This really just means it has smooth sides. No jagged edges. So, back to the 2D surface of the earth. Remember, the 2D surface of the earth is the subspace of the 3D volume of the sphere. Our universe is the 3D surface of a 4D object. Perhaps a 4D sphere. You can't imagine 4D, so don't worry and don't bother trying. Our brains can't do it. Just think in analogies. Imagine lower dimensional spaces(3D or less) and extrapolate patterns to higher dimensional spaces. That's the only way we can conceptualize and talk about higher dimensional space. So, hopefully, that clears things up. Might be typos in this. wrote this fast and on no sleep. Also I'm talking about spatial dimensions. I'm not including temporal.
On the Earth’s subsurface, if you travel in the third dimension, i.e. dig into the Earth, you can find what that subsurface was made out of, something you couldn’t see before. Does this mean that in our universe, the fourth dimension is dark matter and dark energy? It’s 93% of the universe and forms the “backbone” of our universe as Joe described it. I relate it to digging into the Earth and finding the third dimension of the 2D subsurface.
There is no 2d objects. Every single thing in our 3d universe has 3 deminsion....even the surface of our earth. measure the height of a surface all the way down to the Plank length will still give you three dems.
@Ezzell_ you should read Stephen Hawking's PhD. thesis. He proves by contradiction that singularities have to exist in our universe. This is analytical proof. As ironclad as it comes. Oh, and also, we have no idea how many dimensions exist at the planck length. The two schools of thought in string theory state there could be 12 dimensions or 24 dimensions. Also, we are discussing an analogy to understand something outside our universe.
I still don't fully understand what being in a flat universe means, but know what it's like to be attacked by Pringles cans. Once you pop, they don't stop.
A flat universe means the universe will expand forever but it will do so at the slowest rate. Also it will not break into pieces to form other universes. It may (note I said may) allow space, time, mass, and energy to be derived features of the universe rather than fundamental ones.
The shape isn't what hurts my brain, thats where does it end, and whats on the other side of that, where does that end? When that ends whats after that? That is truly terrifying, I wish I never asked this question
I think - when making statements about the universe - it is _really really important_ to distinguish between the universe and the observable universe. Because anything that applies to our local observable part of the universe (such as physical laws and other conditions "finetuned" for life) doesn't necessarily need to apply to the unobservable parts. Which btw may be infinitelly larger.

Of course, the universe might be curved -- depending on how big it is. The universe might be infinite and curved, but on the scale we can observe it appears flat because curvature over any finite space is going to look flat compared to infinity.
Gauss actually measures the sum of the angles in a triangle defined by three mountain peaks, sometimes in early 1800's. If the Universe is like a cheese ball, that sum of the angles would be greater tan 180°, in Pringle universe < 180°, and in flat Universe exactly 180°. To the precision of his measurements, it came out flat.

Here`s also an idea. Cheesepuffs and Pringles are really triscuits when you zoom in really hard and we currently dont have the tech (or may not even be possible at all) to zoom out to see that our local triscuit is just a part of a bigger Pringle/Cheesepuff :)

I’ve never seen such violent explosive power as I did when that savage beast you call a dog destroyed that soccer ball. Stay safe, Joe. It knows where you sleep
So here are some theories I'm working on and some the scientific community are currently exploring; Dark matter & dark energy are only placeholders that are convenient for keeping a framework we know to be wrong (or we'd already have a ToE) working. Like hammering in a jigsaw-piece into a puzzle, sure it might squish in there but it's not the right piece. The geometry of the universe: GR requires a flat universe and that's one reason they want to keep it that way however something I think you've discussed before and is important 'the cosmological crisis' shows that as our instruments of measurement progress there is a growing gap in seeing this flat universe in evidence. In a theory where quantum mechanics is accepted as the governing nature of the universe at all scales, with probability distributions and effects being different at different scales (see the buckyball double slit experiment and the most recent Prudhoe university experiment with nano-diamonds) we can guess that the universe may appear flat but is since space-time according to QM and QFT is discrete it's more likely to be like an ocean something that might appear flat from certain points of view but is more like a roiling distribution of various states. Just like all science on these scales this information is theoretical but founded in the scientific disciplines it uses and being explored currently with some experimental evidence helping to back it up. At this point in time dark matter and energy fall into this category also, they're something that fits nicely into a theory but have no direct evidence and rather are inferred.
When the videos thumbnail says the shape of the universe is a Triscuit I thought you would make some metaphor about the fabric of the universe being woven together in layers.. like a Triscuit lol. But just wanting to eat one is valid too I guess 😂
Well done, Earthling! Having done a three-part video about the shape of the universe for myself, I know there's a lot of work that went into your video. Plus, you didn't fall into the trap even renowned science channels fall into: Claiming that a negatively curved or a flat universe is necessarily infinite. (By the way, Jean-Pierre Luminet is a nice guy: I contacted him when I made my videos, and he even offered to proofread the script. He didn't find any major errors.)
11:03 - There's a specific name for it, the anthropic principle, aka the observation selection effect. We live in the universe we live in, and can see all this stuff precisely because it does allow for us to exist and live how we do and have telescopes etc.
This video had alot more of my attention cause of the Humor joe has put in his video's. 😊 This is much fun to watch and i learn from it too. Also now i am hungry... thanks joe
12:34 The most bonkers thing to me is that none of it makes sense (or it might make perfect sense but it’s just incomprehensible for us). What I mean is… the existence of the universe itself just seems impossible to me, and when you add endlessness to it (infinity), then it’s even more mind bending… BUT, simultaneously, if the universe didn’t exist, and there was nothing instead, then that _also_ seems impossible to me. How can there be NOTHING?! The concept of nothingness just seems impossible to me. Yet how can there be EVERYTHING?! They’re complete opposites and both seem impossible. And of course there’s the other fact of the Universe existing at all must have come from that other seemingly impossible scenario… nothing. So they’re both impossible and they’re both there. They depend on each other. For there to be a universe or for one to spawn, it needs complete nothingness to come out of. Yet the universe is infinite, and expanding… but what’s it expanding into? NOTHING!!!! What’s beyond that? Where is nothing housed? All of it just makes no sense. The only time I see it all, understand all of it, and it makes perfect sense has been either on DMT trips or extremely intense, uncomfortably overwhelming dreams. Only problem is that once I’m out of it, it slowly fades away or it just stops fitting in my mind. It’s like trying to put the indescribable into words and keeping it forever. I guess it’s just not allowed or not possible outside of that state, and of course not everyone will be able to have the experience at all.

Really enjoyed this video. Both educational and funny as always. My son and I loved the Pringles and Cheetos Puffs containers taking over your hands. Love it!
From what i understand there are two types of “cheese puff” universes. The kind we typically think of intuitively, where the ‘cheese dust’ represents the edge of existence, and everything we know happens on the inside of the cheese puff. Then there’s the weird type, where the ‘cheese dust’ represents known existence. Sort of like how we all live on the outer edge of the planet. This dichotomy actually exists in a lot of conceived models of the universe.
Honestly the round universe where straight lines loop on themselves is the only one that makes sense in my mind. I can't imagine the universe having any kind of edge because if there's a "wall", what's behind it, and if there's no wall, then why wouldn't what's after the edge not considered space too ?
The thing about these conversations that never seems to get addressed seems to be, if our universe has a shape (flat let's say) doesn't that mean our universe must be held within some other space? Isn't shape relative to the space that shape exists in? Joe? Thoughts?
There is one thing I think skews the size of the universe are `Cosmic Strings`, Mathematically proven way that time travel could also be possible, but would mean time-space is folding on itself along an edge within 3d space.
I like the idea that dark matter and dark energy are both just gravity bleeding through from other dimensions that have slightly different laws of physics. It would explain so many things, but not sure how we could test that.
"Space," [the Hitchhiker's Guide] says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

In my earlier years I was a bit too into psychedelics. In my travels I found a trip report that came with an audio log. It was an applied mathematic PhD student who'd taken a large dose of DiMiTri. He wrote a 20 page plus report about the geometry he saw and how the patterns and fractals could only be replicated if the universe was in fact hyperbolic (a big ol Pringle)
Nah Joe it's toroidal I think, that would explain expansion and finitism and the planc map 'disturbances' surely. Sticking with a topological centre allowing for ' the big bang' as well
The thing that freaks me out is how unfathomable the universe is, regardless of whether it’s finite or infinite. If it’s finite, what’s the boundary made of, and what’s beyond that boundary? If the universe is infinite, that also melts the mind. How do we begin to conceive of something that NEVER ends, keeps going and going and going? I’ve heard the old description of how you climb to the top of a wall and see another wall in the distance, so you climb to the top of that wall and see another wall in the distance, etc., forever and ever. But this isn’t a satisfactory descriptor because it gives your mind a familiar framework for how to conceive of it but true infinity isn’t really like that, it’s not conveniently organized like that. It just… goes, and goes, and goes… HOW!? Terrifying.

Damn it Joe. Now I have to go to the store! I don't have cheese balls or Pringles or triscuits and now I'm hungry
Snack run!
I’ve never seen such violent explosive power as I did when that savage beast you call a dog destroyed that soccer ball. Stay safe, Joe. It knows where you sleep
So here are some theories I'm working on and some the scientific community are currently exploring;
Dark matter & dark energy are only placeholders that are convenient for keeping a framework we know to be wrong (or we'd already have a ToE) working. Like hammering in a jigsaw-piece into a puzzle, sure it might squish in there but it's not the right piece.
The geometry of the universe: GR requires a flat universe and that's one reason they want to keep it that way however something I think you've discussed before and is important 'the cosmological crisis' shows that as our instruments of measurement progress there is a growing gap in seeing this flat universe in evidence.
In a theory where quantum mechanics is accepted as the governing nature of the universe at all scales, with probability distributions and effects being different at different scales (see the buckyball double slit experiment and the most recent Prudhoe university experiment with nano-diamonds) we can guess that the universe may appear flat but is since space-time according to QM and QFT is discrete it's more likely to be like an ocean something that might appear flat from certain points of view but is more like a roiling distribution of various states.
Just like all science on these scales this information is theoretical but founded in the scientific disciplines it uses and being explored currently with some experimental evidence helping to back it up. At this point in time dark matter and energy fall into this category also, they're something that fits nicely into a theory but have no direct evidence and rather are inferred.
For the other laypeople out there:
If "Pringles shape" is too technical, it is also referred to as a hyperbolic paraboloid.
Hope that helps.
I imagine the universe is round just like Earth is. Its just so big we can't see the curve.
Most probably
What a crisp analysis!
When the videos thumbnail says the shape of the universe is a Triscuit I thought you would make some metaphor about the fabric of the universe being woven together in layers.. like a Triscuit lol. But just wanting to eat one is valid too I guess 😂
That's what I was thinking too
Well done, Earthling! Having done a three-part video about the shape of the universe for myself, I know there's a lot of work that went into your video. Plus, you didn't fall into the trap even renowned science channels fall into: Claiming that a negatively curved or a flat universe is necessarily infinite.
(By the way, Jean-Pierre Luminet is a nice guy: I contacted him when I made my videos, and he even offered to proofread the script. He didn't find any major errors.)
Pringles gag good.
Tbh not really
Predictable 🤷♂️
Good dad gag joke
Bro made THE best “your mom” joke and hid it perfectly. Well done sir.
Maaaan that moment you have that “hearing someone chew” disorder and here comes someone chewing chips UGH 😑 wanted to spike my phone on the ground.
If you did not watch, near the end he suggested going to another channel, such as Dr. Becky or Fraser Cain, where they actually know this stuff.
Yeah, after the third time I was just too icked out to finish watching, because you know he's going to keep doing it. 🙄 Otherwise, love other content.
Thanks for the turn at the end. Also, loved the Pringle goodness
Maaaan the smooth yo momma joke in there is wild! lol
Thanks for clearing everything up.
@15:20 The turn returns ! ! !
🎉🎉🎉
Love the humour/seriousness ratio in this video.. reminds me of the olden days of the channel..
1:40 Joe Scott for Supreme Leader of Earth 2024
This made me laugh 😂
“Integrity! Pop”
Go back to doing the spin-in! I watch your TMI. Spin-in Forever! Love ya Joe.
11:03 - There's a specific name for it, the anthropic principle, aka the observation selection effect. We live in the universe we live in, and can see all this stuff precisely because it does allow for us to exist and live how we do and have telescopes etc.
The fact your hand fits inside a Pringle can speaks volumes about your universe.
The "flat Earthers" must be eating this up! (pun intended)
This video had alot more of my attention cause of the Humor joe has put in his video's. 😊
This is much fun to watch and i learn from it too. Also now i am hungry... thanks joe
"Released one minute ago"
*comments* : "7 days ago"
huh...
I think it could be released early for patron people maybe?
he broke the matrix with this video
@@Bslahsusnald Yep videos can be uploaded yet unlisted. Usually a week early perk for patreon.
Surely a “flat universe society” shirt with a triscuit would make good Joe merch
It was just hidden from you for 7 days to confuse you 🤪
12:34 The most bonkers thing to me is that none of it makes sense (or it might make perfect sense but it’s just incomprehensible for us). What I mean is… the existence of the universe itself just seems impossible to me, and when you add endlessness to it (infinity), then it’s even more mind bending… BUT, simultaneously, if the universe didn’t exist, and there was nothing instead, then that _also_ seems impossible to me. How can there be NOTHING?! The concept of nothingness just seems impossible to me. Yet how can there be EVERYTHING?! They’re complete opposites and both seem impossible. And of course there’s the other fact of the Universe existing at all must have come from that other seemingly impossible scenario… nothing. So they’re both impossible and they’re both there. They depend on each other. For there to be a universe or for one to spawn, it needs complete nothingness to come out of. Yet the universe is infinite, and expanding… but what’s it expanding into? NOTHING!!!! What’s beyond that? Where is nothing housed? All of it just makes no sense. The only time I see it all, understand all of it, and it makes perfect sense has been either on DMT trips or extremely intense, uncomfortably overwhelming dreams. Only problem is that once I’m out of it, it slowly fades away or it just stops fitting in my mind. It’s like trying to put the indescribable into words and keeping it forever. I guess it’s just not allowed or not possible outside of that state, and of course not everyone will be able to have the experience at all.

Really enjoyed this video. Both educational and funny as always. My son and I loved the Pringles and Cheetos Puffs containers taking over your hands. Love it!
Joe Scott, what a great topic. Thank you for doing this one. Very interesting.
Infinity is easier to accept than understand. No beginning is easier to accept than understand. It humbles the greatest minds.
At 4:22 I half expected a clip about Monica voicelessly saying "Seven!"
1% Space talk
99% Cheeseball and Pringles eating 😂
This week on "Snacking with Joe" lol loved the running gag
Omg I found this channel today and already have an 8 hour workday Playlist of nothing but this channel lol
From what i understand there are two types of “cheese puff” universes.
The kind we typically think of intuitively, where the ‘cheese dust’ represents the edge of existence, and everything we know happens on the inside of the cheese puff.
Then there’s the weird type, where the ‘cheese dust’ represents known existence. Sort of like how we all live on the outer edge of the planet.
This dichotomy actually exists in a lot of conceived models of the universe.
Honestly the round universe where straight lines loop on themselves is the only one that makes sense in my mind.
I can't imagine the universe having any kind of edge because if there's a "wall", what's behind it, and if there's no wall, then why wouldn't what's after the edge not considered space too ?
well a flat universe would also not need a edge cause pretty much all flat geometries result in the universe being infinite
The thing about these conversations that never seems to get addressed seems to be, if our universe has a shape (flat let's say) doesn't that mean our universe must be held within some other space? Isn't shape relative to the space that shape exists in? Joe? Thoughts?
There is one thing I think skews the size of the universe are `Cosmic Strings`,
Mathematically proven way that time travel could also be possible, but would mean time-space is folding on itself along an edge within 3d space.
A) Quality "your mom" joke.
B) The death of a flat universe is the heat death scenario.
C) Excellent segue to the sponsor. 9/10.
LOL the pringle bit made me chuckle. Well done sir.
I like the idea that dark matter and dark energy are both just gravity bleeding through from other dimensions that have slightly different laws of physics. It would explain so many things, but not sure how we could test that.
"Space," [the Hitchhiker's Guide] says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
The irony of the big crunch being the end of the universe makes alot of sense with the shape.
Five topics to fix society via discussion:
-Anti-natalism vs Natalism
-The 3 basic needs/prenatal needs
Three things are necessary for human evolution which are provided while in the womb which are; food, shelter and medical care
-Platinum rule
Do whatever makes one happier unless it interferes with another persons ability to do the same
-MBTI (research yours and connect with others)
-Art (pick one and get better at it!)
The pringle theory reminds me of Avengers 4 when Tony Stark uses an inverted Mobius Strip to prove time travel and it works! @JoeScott
“The universe is big. Really big. You just wouldn’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is”.
In my earlier years I was a bit too into psychedelics. In my travels I found a trip report that came with an audio log. It was an applied mathematic PhD student who'd taken a large dose of DiMiTri. He wrote a 20 page plus report about the geometry he saw and how the patterns and fractals could only be replicated if the universe was in fact hyperbolic (a big ol Pringle)
Nah Joe it's toroidal I think, that would explain expansion and finitism and the planc map 'disturbances' surely. Sticking with a topological centre allowing for ' the big bang' as well
The thing that freaks me out is how unfathomable the universe is, regardless of whether it’s finite or infinite. If it’s finite, what’s the boundary made of, and what’s beyond that boundary? If the universe is infinite, that also melts the mind. How do we begin to conceive of something that NEVER ends, keeps going and going and going? I’ve heard the old description of how you climb to the top of a wall and see another wall in the distance, so you climb to the top of that wall and see another wall in the distance, etc., forever and ever. But this isn’t a satisfactory descriptor because it gives your mind a familiar framework for how to conceive of it but true infinity isn’t really like that, it’s not conveniently organized like that. It just… goes, and goes, and goes… HOW!? Terrifying.
First you make me hungry and then you flame me with that mom joke. You sir are a menace
11:50 and 11:58: The moment Joe *really* understood what it takes to be an astrophysicist. 11:50: I read two fresh papers, and 11:58 them. No, none of the two is _your_ paper. _Of course_ not.
Just finally stopped laughing about the not so subtle your mom joke lmao fabulously placed good sir
