Glad to be here early and just want to say I love your content! Whether I’m awake and paying full attention, or have it playing quietly while I sleep. Take care!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I had to have my favourite cat put to sleep about 10 days ago & it hit me hard, when I picked her ashes up the other day I couldn’t help but think what was going to happen with them after I’m gone? I’m only 44, so a lot could happen within my lifetime, but that’s just a spec in the universal lifespan. It’s weird, I’m not bothered about what happens to me after I’m gone, but I’m standing there with my cats ashes, in a rather nice wooden sleeping cat shaped urn & wondering where they’ll end up in billions of years to come. Provided our spirits, essence, consciousness or whatever we call it, lives on & I somehow get to see her again I guess it doesn’t really matter, it was just odd how my mind wondered to such things.
Your cat went to a safe place , maybe your cat was living in the universe where it's not supposed to (Schrodinger's cat "unalive" universe) . Maybe your cat is alive in the other and keeps living forever, the current you have to bear the sadness but maybe the other you(s) still live happily....😢
On this subject, the adage you think of is "all good things must come to an end", but the first thing I think of is "In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Happy Thanksgiving JMG!
The Universe is ending, as JMG has dropped a video 5 hours before normal time.....or has he finally mastered time travel and become unattached to our mortal plane? Very disturbing, indeed.
@AndyWitmyerit does sound like numerous drugs were in use…. Interesting thought’s but so very outlandish. Yet the universe is oh so very outlandish itself
Lovecraft had the idea of a being outside of time and space who dreamed the Universe. His servants constantly played music to ensure that he'd stay asleep, because if he ever woke up, the whole Universe would disappear.
That's completely false. That's just a myth that was attributed to Azathoth somehow. The original concept for the dreaming God was a being called "Mana Yodd Yashai" from the book "Gods Of Pagana" by the writer Lord Dunsuney who was a friend of Howard himself. The real Azathoth as depicted many times in books such as "The Trap, Through The Gates Of The Silver Key and Ad Nostrum Nomicon" that Azathoth is a; "A blight upon order, a writhing Chaos of Infinite power at the end of everything, even through the Dreaming people are afraid" nowhere does it describe that Azathoth dreamed all of creation. Azathoth is the Ultimate Chaos as described by Nyarlathotep and Randall Carter, it is a very much awake entity that has music played to it to soothe it down and so that it won't escape the Gates of the Universe from thr Ultimate Chaos and lay devastation across the Multiverse. Even Hypnos who transcended the Infinite layers of the Dreamlands was petrified and turned to salt at merely witnessing the Other Gods, driven insane by the same tune that lulls the Chaos Incarnate, Azathoth. By the way Yogg'Sothoth is thr true God and creator of the verse as describes in "Through The Gates Of The Silver Key and The Ancient Gates" as it is described as "Beyond Omnipotence, beyond Reasoning and Fancy, beyond Mathematics and Ultimate Achetypes for it is the Achetypes and all things up to it, it is the Gate and the key to the Gates, it is the all in one, Yogg'Sothoth."
Never heard that version. Idk that story or that writer. but I do know HP wrote about a sleeping God who had to be kept sleeping or he would awaken and all of the universe would be gone forever. Maybe different stories from different writers. 😕 idk
@@lionelmessisburner7393 No one is acting "definitively" about it. These are just guesses based on what we think and/or observe. Ask any astrophysicist, and none of them will give you a definitive answer.

What if the solution to the fermi paradox is that vacuum decay already happened, and it didn't change much, just that the chemistry for life did not work prior to the event? So we're among the first, because of a barrier to life that we don't know of and can't see in a telescope?
@@lucre113 True it’s very young but, life has been possible for BILLIONS of years, before earth was ever created. What scares me is that it’s actually possible something or someone out there is unfathomably advanced, that we’re not the first, and that they probably don’t have our best interests in mind. But I’m down to just agree we’re first, feels better
If there is life or intelligent & sentient beings besides us, it is probable that it was around way before us. Consequentially, their technological capabilities are probably beyond our comprehension and evading our perception is a trivial problem for them.
I just cant buy into vacuum decay. If it was gonna happen, imo it would have already happened in the early universe when things were much much hotter. Imo it's about as likely as the sun disappearing or "the simulation turning off", it's gonna take some divine intervention.
The universe is billions of years old. Our data set is tiny by comparison. It is like trying to look at the life cycle of an animal species with a single snapshot of one example while in adolescence - and trying to extrapolate it's entire existence. It would appear it that it will grow forever.
❤ Reincarnation is real. It is spoken about throughout all religious texts. The teachings of reincarnation were suppressed, especially in the West. Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. The Messiah reincarnated in 1971 to try to save humanity. Julian Assange is the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth reincarnated. Julian exposed the lies and deception of the world governments via Wikileaks. Julian also exposed the killing and destruction of the Muslim/Arabic world and its inhabitants by the Western governments. The Romans and Jews are once again attempting to crucify our Messiah, and again, our hands are tied, and we are being prevented from stopping his crucifixion. Reread the Wikileaks drops and learn about Julian, it will become very clear to you what is taking place. The war in Gaza between the Palestinians and the Zionists was predicted and exposed before it even started (and has been ongoing for many years with the help of the West). So yes, to answer the question, the second coming of Christ is happening and has been since 2012 when Julian Assange went into the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK. The leaders of the Western world governments are collectively The Antichrists/ ad-Dajjal☯️✝️☦️☪️✡️🤲🙌
@@Scion141for now it’s going yea…. However we seem to be becoming as a whole more and more stupid and ignorant as a species.

So a fella half our age asked me exactly how big is the universe. I quoted you like four times trying to explain how complex that question is. He loves the creatures of the deep sea, and I just convinced him to go back to school to find out about them. Keep spreading the good buddy. And tell the opossum I said, “fleek fleek, achoo fleek hissih.”
I love dropping these gems of wisdom in prepper forums. Sure you got thousands of rounds of ammo but what is your prep for a blast of gamma rays from deep space?
The simulation is multiplayer. There are many many NPCs, but also other real players. The simulation ends for you when you die. You then wake up into reality and take off your headset. Others keep playing. You can then play again if you's like. Next time I play I think I'll be a house cat.
I don’t know why, but listening to you describe apocalyptic scenarios with that background music playing gives me a deep sense of calm and relaxation 😂
If the Higgs collapse propagates at the speed of light, expansion may save us. Since distant parts of the Universe are moving away FASTER than light, the collapse of the Higgs may never reach us if it does happen in some far-off region.
That's true. But since a collapse happened somewhere, there's also the possibility that, given enough, time, another collapse will happen in our near vicinity.
I've often thought about the simulation hypothesis, its ending and how it might relate to our reality being an ancestor simulation. Sort of like how we run simulations of galaxy formation over and over, tweaking parameters with each iteration. So if ours is one of thousands or even millions of running ancestor simulations, what information would the entites running the simulations be trying to discover? Maybe, like Harry Seldon's psychohistory, the entities are trying to discover the correct parameters and inputs to ensure their civilization survives. And what if, dear reader, you are the lynch pin, the connecting link, who must do something else our civilization collapses. What inticements, motivations, punishments does the simulation have to employ on you before you do what is necessary to act? When you don't act, the simulation fails and we start all over again.
Re: Simulations, you have data and you have transitions. You presumably have some sort of spatial memory. If the transitions are fundamental, i.e., common to all simulations of a type, then I contend that there's a resolution at which the simulation cannot be distinguished from anything else you'd call reality. I think that's the Planck scale.
I hope for the big crunch since there is a chance if some k4 or 5 could engineer something to anchor themselves far enough away and survive and maybe hopefully just survive to see a new universe born and then figure out how to survive that
The universe is definitionally locked. It makes no sense to speak of “outside” it. The universe is also currently expanding faster than the speed of light so even reaching the border would be impossible until the last second.
A couple of the catastrophes you mention could be mitigated. If the propagate at the speed of light but start from a distance where they recede from us at the speed of light or faster, we will never be affected by them or even know that they have happened.
Yeah. Events that propagate at the speed of light can only affect that event's event horizon. Not so much universe destroying as much as destroying a vast section of the universe.
The universe *does* end; when we each die. Each person is a node in the simulation shutting off. The simulation only needs to be "big enough" to feed inputs into the viewer. Everything else and everyone else can simply be parts of the simulation. For all we know, the universe "begins" when we wake and "ends" when we sleep. The past may just be a construct we *were told* happened or falsely lead to believe
Are you assuming that the universe is a product of our consciousness creating it? That new age theory has been long debunked and doesn't have a scientific leg to stand on. My mind isn't a node of the universe because the universe doesn't rely on my creating it. Even if it did, one node shutting off doesn't end the universe any more than one neuron dying doesn't end the brain. The last way I can interpret your post is that everything is just a simulation made for little 'ol me, me, ME and everyone I know are just holodeck characters. I have no reason to believe that.
Well...I'm thankful I can listen to these ideas and think about them. Thank you, John Michael Godier! I hope you have a lot of things for which you can be happy and thankful! Happy Holiday!
When I hear about interesting things about the universe, it excites me and motivates me to learn more about it. But the voice in the video made me fall asleep without even realizing it
If the end of the universe would travel at the speed of light and the universe is expanding faster than that, does that mean it actually can’t end that way?
Suppose not, although if we have enough time and it can happen more than once, it could wipe out every galaxy. A for effort for the Higgs field I guess?
I thought about the bounce theory this way. That time goes foward because the universe is expanding so that being said if the universe shrinks back to a singularity wouldn't time have to run in reverse? But who's to say. Maybe when it runs in reverse it goes faster than the speed of light... like it happens instantly so fast that our lives wouldn't be relived in reverse or anything trippy like that 😅 it's kind of like it takes a minute to exhale but only a second to inhale. Basically we are stuck in some sort of never ending loop.
What do you mean "the universe would be travelling at the speed of light"? What does "travelling" mean? If you mean travelling back to it's origin point in a big crunch, this theory assumes dark energy has stopped the FTL expansion and is now going in reverse.
Happy Thanksgiving JMG. I am very thankful for you! Keep up the great job champ. I am now looking at my turkey suspiciously but as soon as I eat it there will be nothing to look at.
I always thought the heat death is the saddest. Imagine being able to be there for it. Flying through a darkness like you've never seen. Your ship could be moving at the speed of light and yet you still feel as if you arent moving at all. 😢
This is always so much better than the whole “what is alien life like” videos that you and your peers are doing. I love this so much that I copy your sponsored text and read it during my working day just to keep it in my recent memory. It gives me some crazy sci-fi ideas that, admittedly I’ll never use but keep me awed.
- The Big Rip is a potential scenario for the end of the universe, driven by the battle between dark energy and gravity. If dark energy continues to accelerate the expansion of the universe, everything could eventually rip apart. - The Big Bounce proposes a cyclic model for the universe, where it goes through repeating oscillations of explosion, expansion, collapse, and restart. Recent questions about cosmic inflation have brought back the idea of a big bounce. - The Heat Death of the Universe envisions a future where dark energy accelerates the expansion to the point of thermodynamic equilibrium, resulting in a cold, featureless, and dark abyss with no thermodynamic free energy. - The Catastrophic Collapse of the Higgs Field suggests that a change in the properties of the Higgs boson, possibly triggered by supermassive black holes, could lead to a cascade effect, altering the fundamental rules of the universe. - A Second Big Bang is theorized based on the destabilization of the Higgs boson, potentially caused by supermassive black holes. While not an immediate threat, it could occur trillions of years in the future, resulting in a destructive wave propagating through the universe.
A combination of proton decay and heat death would seem to be the most likely way for the universe to end, but perhaps we just don't know enough at this point.
The current convention is to call the Cosmos everything that is, was, or ever will be. The word "Universe" has been relegated to mean "stuff we could learn about, have learned about, or ever will learn about" which is a distinctly different thing.
I haven't watched the video yet, but as a Hindu, I believe this universe is created and dissolved again and again forever and ever. According to the ancient religion of Hinduism, Brahma (the creator of this universe in Hindu mythology) created this universe 155 trillion years ago and this universe will exist for a total of 311 trillion years. And when Brahma dies, this universe will 'die' along with him. Then a new Brahma will be born who will create a new universe to take the place of the old universe. And this process continues forever, without a beginning and without an end. Hinduism also teaches that there are an infinite number of universes and each of those universes (including our own universe) experience an infinite cycle of 'births' (which you can call 'Big Bangs' in a modern scientific way) and 'deaths' (which you can call 'Big Crunches' in a modern scientific way).
#9, If this is true, it means uncounted trillions of years ago a previous version of me sat here watching this same video. Except the video was in German and I was a 6-foot porcupine.
I know all about the Big Rip. I always make sure to go and complete a safety wipe after a Big Rip, Stains in your pants is a bad look to say the least.
We know of convergent evolution. The map of the universe looks oddly like a brain-like structure. This might be because we see patterns we know in things. Or we just projected that knowledge onto the way how we created that map and thus the outcome. But what if it's actually convergent evolution and the universe is some kind of brain/intelligence that's growing and expanding its "knowledge".
Great video! I'm one of the people who use JMG videos to help me sleep sometimes. Thank you for helping me! Advice for others who do the same: the first background song in this one is unsettling and delayed sleep for a bit for me
Personally, the Big Rip scares me the most. Knowing that the universe is middle aged, and that eventually the universe will expand so rapidly that spacetime itself gets torn apart is just terrifying.
The Higgs Destabilization event might suggest that the current universe is expanding "into" an older and larger universe that has undergone its own HDE. Then when our HDE occurs in 10^14 years, it will create a new universe. An onion structure, which is a very common structure in nature.
Interesting timing of JMG's video on cosmological eschatology is presented at the same time of year as the church's religious eschatology (i.e., November 26 being the last day of the church year).
Maybe that’s the solution to the Fermi Paradox: every civilization reaches a point where it runs some advanced physics experiment that destabilizes the Higgs field (or something similar) and blinks them out of existence.
Personally I think the Big Bounce/Big Crunch are the most likely to be true. All matter merging into a singularity which then explodes into a new universe in an infinite cycle.

My mind isn't a node of the universe because the universe doesn't rely on my creating it. Even if it did, one node shutting off doesn't end the universe any more than one neuron dying doesn't end the brain.
The last way I can interpret your post is that everything is just a simulation made for little 'ol me, me, ME and everyone I know are just holodeck characters. I have no reason to believe that.
For all you know it truly started last Thursday. Thursdayism
That could be true and I could also be the creator of this universe, both are absolutely absurd. Granted, the latter is more absurd than the former.
Well...I'm thankful I can listen to these ideas and think about them. Thank you, John Michael Godier! I hope you have a lot of things for which you can be happy and thankful! Happy Holiday!
Babe, wake up! New JMG video just dropped!
I love this channel. Besides Five Star Car Stereo this is my top channel.
The idea of the universe becoming so hot that the stars themselves succumb to the heat is the scariest type of cosmic horror- the plausible kind.
"CumBrap" 😮
When I hear about interesting things about the universe, it excites me and motivates me to learn more about it. But the voice in the video made me fall asleep without even realizing it
If the end of the universe would travel at the speed of light and the universe is expanding faster than that, does that mean it actually can’t end that way?
Suppose not, although if we have enough time and it can happen more than once, it could wipe out every galaxy. A for effort for the Higgs field I guess?
I thought about the bounce theory this way. That time goes foward because the universe is expanding so that being said if the universe shrinks back to a singularity wouldn't time have to run in reverse? But who's to say. Maybe when it runs in reverse it goes faster than the speed of light... like it happens instantly so fast that our lives wouldn't be relived in reverse or anything trippy like that 😅 it's kind of like it takes a minute to exhale but only a second to inhale. Basically we are stuck in some sort of never ending loop.
Ants say the earth is flat
@@WeUx6Link?
What do you mean "the universe would be travelling at the speed of light"? What does "travelling" mean? If you mean travelling back to it's origin point in a big crunch, this theory assumes dark energy has stopped the FTL expansion and is now going in reverse.
Existence is absurd.. i love it
Universe will just disappear with cartoonish fart noise, and then Mother Nature will open window to fresh air come in.
Just the cheery stuff to start off my Thanksgiving! 😹 Another great video John! Happy Thanksgiving!
My favourite JMG video ever I think
Happy Thanksgivings John & crew.
Thanks for the video, John! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
Happy Thanksgiving JMG. I am very thankful for you! Keep up the great job champ. I am now looking at my turkey suspiciously but as soon as I eat it there will be nothing to look at.
The big bounce back ending in another big sneeze!
I took away from this video is that I'm thankful I'm here now and able to watch good educational content in relative safety. Thank you.
I always thought the heat death is the saddest. Imagine being able to be there for it. Flying through a darkness like you've never seen. Your ship could be moving at the speed of light and yet you still feel as if you arent moving at all. 😢
“This is how the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper”
Great like I was not anxious enough without this information.😅
One of your best most recent top 10’s. Very good stuff!
JMG i got such love for you x
Universes adjacent to ours are currently pulling ours apart from without...
This is always so much better than the whole “what is alien life like” videos that you and your peers are doing. I love this so much that I copy your sponsored text and read it during my working day just to keep it in my recent memory. It gives me some crazy sci-fi ideas that, admittedly I’ll never use but keep me awed.
My tip for the sleeper crowd: listen at 0.75x speed 👌
Aderal 2x
Ohhh this is gonna be a good one.
Just got into bed and John was there again!
Thanks for the New Year nightmares! Great video, though.
Heat Death, the big rip, false vacuum decay, these are all great band names.
'After many a summer dies The Proton'
A brilliant essay.
Number 11: John eats a late night spicy burrito from a questionable food truck and the subsequent gas explosion creates a new big bang.
Instant like as usual I love the top 10 playlist and all the others Anna and her possum alter ego? I think I got that right , keep up the great work
The good news about the simulation being turned off is that we likely would never know that it happened
This is the most likely sce
Thanks John and on Thanksgiving thank you so much
I'm glad to see the spooky vids aren't over! 🤯🤭☠👻🐙🌌
After all this time I still love the robot at the end!!
Nice. Away from the UAP scam garbage and back to the hard hitting speculative information that makes me sleep easy at night
Ikr
@@fortressgothika well. He IS a sci-fi writer lol.
I'm grateful there were only 10. To contemplate something so absolute, so final, so vacant... the Dreaded Null Point.
One of your best videos ever
Whenever I think of stuff like this, I think back to Azimov's "The Last Question"
If the Universe is a simulation, then let's hope that whoever's running that simulation remembers to pay their electric bill.
Pretty sure JMG said that
Well if their power company is as greedy as mine, they won't be able to afford the bill and will be cut off😂
- The Big Rip is a potential scenario for the end of the universe, driven by the battle between dark energy and gravity. If dark energy continues to accelerate the expansion of the universe, everything could eventually rip apart.
- The Big Bounce proposes a cyclic model for the universe, where it goes through repeating oscillations of explosion, expansion, collapse, and restart. Recent questions about cosmic inflation have brought back the idea of a big bounce.
- The Heat Death of the Universe envisions a future where dark energy accelerates the expansion to the point of thermodynamic equilibrium, resulting in a cold, featureless, and dark abyss with no thermodynamic free energy.
- The Catastrophic Collapse of the Higgs Field suggests that a change in the properties of the Higgs boson, possibly triggered by supermassive black holes, could lead to a cascade effect, altering the fundamental rules of the universe.
- A Second Big Bang is theorized based on the destabilization of the Higgs boson, potentially caused by supermassive black holes. While not an immediate threat, it could occur trillions of years in the future, resulting in a destructive wave propagating through the universe.
JMG will be remembered as the selective user of the metric system. Dare I say effective metric system?
A combination of proton decay and heat death would seem to be the most likely way for the universe to end, but perhaps we just don't know enough at this point.
The current convention is to call the Cosmos everything that is, was, or ever will be. The word "Universe" has been relegated to mean "stuff we could learn about, have learned about, or ever will learn about" which is a distinctly different thing.
I haven't watched the video yet, but as a Hindu, I believe this universe is created and dissolved again and again forever and ever. According to the ancient religion of Hinduism, Brahma (the creator of this universe in Hindu mythology) created this universe 155 trillion years ago and this universe will exist for a total of 311 trillion years. And when Brahma dies, this universe will 'die' along with him. Then a new Brahma will be born who will create a new universe to take the place of the old universe. And this process continues forever, without a beginning and without an end. Hinduism also teaches that there are an infinite number of universes and each of those universes (including our own universe) experience an infinite cycle of 'births' (which you can call 'Big Bangs' in a modern scientific way) and 'deaths' (which you can call 'Big Crunches' in a modern scientific way).
Watching this video @ 4:05 am central Texas grapevine... Happy Thanksgiving everyone
#9, If this is true, it means uncounted trillions of years ago a previous version of me sat here watching this same video. Except the video was in German and I was a 6-foot porcupine.
I love your narration
I know all about the Big Rip. I always make sure to go and complete a safety wipe after a Big Rip, Stains in your pants is a bad look to say the least.
We know of convergent evolution. The map of the universe looks oddly like a brain-like structure. This might be because we see patterns we know in things. Or we just projected that knowledge onto the way how we created that map and thus the outcome.
But what if it's actually convergent evolution and the universe is some kind of brain/intelligence that's growing and expanding its "knowledge".
Great video! I'm one of the people who use JMG videos to help me sleep sometimes. Thank you for helping me! Advice for others who do the same: the first background song in this one is unsettling and delayed sleep for a bit for me
Personally, the Big Rip scares me the most. Knowing that the universe is middle aged, and that eventually the universe will expand so rapidly that spacetime itself gets torn apart is just terrifying.
On this day (Thanksgiving in America) I think JMG is saying we should all be thankful for the universe.
Ahhhhh! My favorite subject!
The Higgs Destabilization event might suggest that the current universe is expanding "into" an older and larger universe that has undergone its own HDE. Then when our HDE occurs in 10^14 years, it will create a new universe. An onion structure, which is a very common structure in nature.
I for one welcome saving heating costs during the heat-death cycle of the universe
Great vid! What’s the difference from false vacuum decay versus a Higgs boson decay? I thought those were the same
Same
I expected this video to just end abruptly and not do your usual sign off
Interesting timing of JMG's video on cosmological eschatology is presented at the same time of year as the church's religious eschatology (i.e., November 26 being the last day of the church year).
Thank’s John. Just what I needed now, trying to get some sleep here In Norway. 😉👌
Maybe that’s the solution to the Fermi Paradox: every civilization reaches a point where it runs some advanced physics experiment that destabilizes the Higgs field (or something similar) and blinks them out of existence.
Interesting...🤔
Addendum: All civilizations are too distant for any of them to observe any of them else. 😔
A "Higgs Field" great filter of sorts... Humanity's version of, "What's this button do?"...
Imagine when it's gone silent and everything has decayed , all black holes will have closed ect.. just NOTHING
Personally I think the Big Bounce/Big Crunch are the most likely to be true. All matter merging into a singularity which then explodes into a new universe in an infinite cycle.
In an endless sea of foam, where each bubble is a universe
Heyyy, let's bring in that holiday cheer!
