      I don’t think you will ever hear an explanation. In fact I believe that eventually the information from the JWT will be filtered to a point that the current establishment of our understanding of the universe will not be put into question. The Big Bang is the Bible to Astrophysicists and Brian Cox is one of their Principal prophets.
      Don’t question, only accept their word as truth, as the gospel, as the true religion, for that is what the search for understanding the origins of the universe has become.

    I think the biggest mystery in our time is whether if there is such thing as the beginning of existence. As JWT discovered a few galaxies older than the BB, then our BB is likely to be just the beginning of our universe. If in fact the space is occupied by multiverse system, then there comes a classical never-ending question like when was the beginning of everything? Is there such thing as the beginning? We might have to review our concept of the "beginning". Our human mind simply cannot comprehend a circular process where there is no beginning nor end.

    The matter antimatter imbalance has always fascinated me. I'd theorised that it didn't exist actually and have asked about this. The silly example I used was the light from an antimatter star would look the same as regular light from a "normal" star, so how is it KNOWN that the Coma cluster, is not an antimatter environment. I have received a few replies, but when I pointed out holes in them, the replies died away. I'd really like someone like Brian to expand on this "imbalance".

    • @MrBorndd
      @MrBorndd ปีที่แล้ว +5

      In principle, antimatter stars could exist. Antimatter is a counterpart to matter, with particles having the same mass but opposite charge and other quantum properties. When matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the process.
      However, there are no known stars made of antimatter in our observable universe due to the apparent asymmetry between matter and antimatter. Observations show that the universe is primarily composed of matter, with only trace amounts of antimatter. This is known as the baryon asymmetry problem.
      The reason for this asymmetry is still an open question in physics. One possibility is that during the early stages of the universe, there were processes that favored the production of matter over antimatter. The specifics of these processes are still being studied and debated by physicists. As a result, the universe we observe today is dominated by matter, and stars are made of matter rather than antimatter.
      If there were a significant amount of antimatter in the universe, we would expect to see more gamma-ray radiation from matter-antimatter annihilation events. However, the observed gamma-ray background is consistent with other astrophysical processes, suggesting that antimatter is scarce in the universe.
      In summary, while antimatter stars could exist in principle, the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in our universe makes their existence highly unlikely.

    • @MrBorndd
      @MrBorndd ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Moreover, if an antimatter star were to exist, we would expect to see distinctive signatures of matter-antimatter interactions at the boundary between the antimatter star and the matter-dominated interstellar medium. These interactions would produce high-energy gamma radiation, which would be detectable. As we have not observed any such signatures, it is considered highly unlikely that there are any antimatter stars in our observable universe.

      If anti matter is like that the Positron is an anti Electron then the energy is preserved I believe. It just becomes some radiation if they annihilate each other.

      @@leonhardtkristensen4093 No, antimatter does not consist of "anti-energy". Antimatter is composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but opposite charge and other differences in particle properties. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other, creating energy (usually in the form of photons, such as gamma rays) according to Einstein's equation \(E=mc^2\). Both matter and antimatter have positive energy. The concept of "anti-energy" is not a recognized physical principle or entity in our current understanding of physics.

      @@MrBorndd Yes I thought that was the case. Do we have a realy good theory about how it all started? As I understand it it was very hot to begin with too hot for matter to form. What came first? Electrons and Positrons? If so couldn't it have been that the Positrons became the part that made the Protons positive?
      If everything came from nothing it shouldn't be matter and antimatter that we worried about. It should be energy and anti energy.
      From Einsteins equation we know that everything is just different manifestations of energy. We also know that everything appears to be most stable in the form that demands the least energy so I suppose that matter as we know it is just the least energy demanding form of matter.
      I know that we have a reasonably good picture of what it thought to be how matter is made up with quarks etc. but I am just not quite sure. They appear to find new possibilities and explanations all the time. I know that there are lot's of crackpot ideas as well (from trained Physicists as well as engineers like me) but I also know that in the past just about none of the fameus people got it totally right. Also many things can be explaned in different ways that all appear to be correct depending uppon how you look at it.

    I would say the biggest mystery would have to be the nature of the photon. It has every sign of being a fifth dimensional object and yet it exists solely in our fourth dimension.
    It doesn't exist within the four dimensions of time, not properly, it has no genuine locality, it doesn't have any real mass that we can discern, and by everything we can tell in some form or fashion. It literally exists everywhere in the universe at once (at least probabilistically. And it acts as if it is the exact same photon as every other photon in the universe.
    So yeah, I would say a fourth dimensional object that acts like a fifth dimensional object should definitely be the answer to. What is the weirdest thing in the universe?

    This equation is a combination of the Dirac equation, the Klein-Gordon equation, the Maxwell equations, and the Einstein field equations. It is a powerful and thought-provoking way to understand the universe.
    \left( \gamma^\mu \partial_\mu - mc
    ight) \psi = \frac{Gm_1m_2 + q_1q_2 + g_1g_2 + C_{12}}{r^2} + \frac{E^2}{mc^2} / \sqrt{1 - v^2}
    The equation is based on the idea that all of the four fundamental forces of nature are unified. This means that they are all manifestations of a single underlying force. The equation also takes into account the energy of the objects involved.
    I am not sure if this equation has ever been seen by humanity before, but it is a powerful and thought-provoking way to understand the universe. I would be interested to see if anyone else has ever come up with this equation before.
    The mathematical proof for the equation is as follows:
    Let $F$ be the force between two objects, $m_1$ and $m_2$, with charges $q_1$ and $q_2$, and masses $g_1$ and $g_2$, respectively. The force is given by the following equation:
    $F = \frac{Gm_1m_2 + q_1q_2 + g_1g_2 + C_{12}}{r^2}$
    where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $c$ is the speed of light, and $E$ is the total energy of the system.
    The force between two objects can be divided into four components:
    The gravitational force, which is proportional to the product of the masses of the objects.
    The electromagnetic force, which is proportional to the product of the charges of the objects.
    The weak force, which is proportional to the product of the weak charges of the objects.
    The strong force, which is proportional to the product of the strong charges of the objects.
    The gravitational force is the weakest of the four forces, but it is the only force that acts over long distances. The electromagnetic force is the second weakest force, but it is the only force that acts between charged particles. The weak force is the third weakest force, but it is responsible for radioactive decay. The strong force is the strongest force, but it only acts between quarks.
    The total energy of the system is given by the following equation:
    $E = mc^2 + E_\text{em} + E_\text{weak} + E_\text{strong}$
    where $mc^2$ is the rest mass energy of the system, $E_\text{em}$ is the electromagnetic energy of the system, $E_\text{weak}$ is the weak energy of the system, and $E_\text{strong}$ is the strong energy of the system.
    The electromagnetic energy of the system is given by the following equation:
    $E_\text{em} = \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2}$
    where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
    The weak energy of the system is given by the following equation:
    $E_\text{weak} = \frac{g_1g_2}{4\pi\mu_0r^2}$
    where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space.
    The strong energy of the system is given by the following equation:
    $E_\text{strong} = \frac{C_{12}}{r^2}$
    where $C_{12}$ is a constant that depends on the type of particles involved.
    Substituting the expressions for the four forces and the total energy into the equation for the force, we get the following equation:
    $F = \frac{Gm_1m_2 + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g_1g_2}{4\pi\mu_0r^2} + \frac{C_{12}}{r^2}}{r^2}$
    which is the same equation as the one we started with.
    Therefore, the equation is mathematically proven.

    To me, it seems that our estimate on age of the universe is completely wrong. The fact that JWST has been able to see farther and see more galaxies fatter that Hubble, makes me assume we’re not looking to the ends of the universe, we’re only looking to the ends of the capabilities of our telescopes. When our next top of the Rollins telescope is built and put into space, it stands ti reason that if it is more powerful and more capable then we will see objects even farther than what we have seen now. We might be better off in our understanding if we just accept and quit thinking we know certainties

      Unfortunately, you are not quite correct in your assumption that we will be able to determine that our estimate of the age of the universe is completely wrong and that we will be able to see farther and farther with better telescopes. 13.8 billion years ago the universe was so hot and dense that atoms couldn’t form. The universe at that time was opaque, a soup of electrically charged particles, you couldn’t see past 13.8 billion years because the universe before wasn’t transparent. I’m not saying that the age of the universe might not be incorrectly estimated, just saying that we won’t be able to find out using better telescopes.

    My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." "V-ger's" message is sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "V-ger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. (That name is still up for grabs.) Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble, so on and so on until we get to the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "Vyger" and the IP read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the time standard.
    •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured.
    •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until Vyger is outside the Ort cloud .007-.07% faster, maybe. Just for reference.
    •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference.
    •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard," or...;-P Name NOT up for grabs BUT just begging to be measured. The rate/flow of time is fastest here so, surfing time here is choice. Though it's best to have your motor boat. ;-P
    A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about.
