Ikr, light is slow af as soon as you go interstellar and above. Even warp drive is kinda slow. What we really need on a scale this big is working teleportation.

Good point man. Come to think of it if hypothetically someone traveled 10,000 times the speed of light it will still take 2 and half human life times to get to the nearest galaxy let alone other distant galaxies. Looks like we are stuck here.
For those of you saying that light speed is too slow for interstellar travel.. just remember that there is Lorentz time dilation. At the speed of light, going from point A to point B will feel instantaneous for you. Regardless of where you go. From an outside observer, it will take however long it takes for light to traverse those distances. It has always boggled my mind that for light which has traveled billions of miles to reach my eyes from a twinkling star. It literally is born and dies on that same instant. Light doesn't perceive creation because it just pops into existence and it disappears from it's point of view. IF you were traveling at 99.999999%c, you literally could go anywhere in an instant, but once you got there it would be way farther in the future. Distances narrow, but time stretches. This is why it is called space-time. They are intricately connected. Edit: Fixed grammar and made the paragraph easier to understand.
Yes but also no. The universe is expanding, and on larger enough scales (roughly 18 billion lightyears today) not even light can catch up to that expansion. You could never get there. For reference, our currently visible universe has a ~46 billion lightyears radius away from us. We could never, even at the speed of light, interact with those galaxies.
@@janne7263 Janne, one other thing I wanted to say. I am not sure if you ever heard of simulation theory. Where a lot of scientists think we are living in a simulation. Sounds far fetched, but reality coalesce when we look at it. The wave equation collapses into reality. I could probably write 6 page paper on why we might be living in a simulation, but these are the type of ideas that are too crazy to entertain.
It's awesome to learn about this stuff, knowing it was barely a generation ago that we discovered our physical place in the universe gets me excited for what we might know when I'm older
Matthew Vaughan The futility of their own existence terrifies them, so they come up with all kinds of nonsense to avoid reality. They don’t want to live in a random, chaotic universe that’s indifferent to our existence. They want to be special, so they tell themselves that god created a special zoo for us and we’re somehow chosen. They’re essentially just a bunch of cowards.
How would it be scary? It's physicaly impossible for any human to get to 115 lightyears from where they where born, it's not like anything galaxy-wise even matters
It explains a lot of stuff like the perceived accelerated expansion of the universe. It's not that the universe's expansion is accelerating, it's just that the stuff we see is coming closer to each other and further away from us since we're in a supervoid.
Imagine traveling in a spaceship in the heart of one of these voids. You could presumably look out of a window and see absolutely _nothing…_ mind you, there will be no depth perception or anything. Pure blackness. Just nothing, in the most profound sense of the word.
what? Couldn't you just see stars and galaxies just like me see them now, mind you there's no atmosphere so its easier to see, they would be far away but they are far away on earth and we see galaxies and stars still, he even said were in a void now
@@nikolaskeller9987 actually, all of the stars you can see in the night sky are in our very own galaxy! And it’s true that light will be reaching your spaceship, but will more than likely be redshifted to the point that your eyes won’t be able to detect it.
well, its the same thing sailors see in the middle of the pacific in a very cloudy day. Empty. There is the sea but, unless you have business there, it is inaccessible to you. The sky tells nothing either. You only know if it is night or day by its light and your own clock. Vast. The planet appears made mostly of this. Your world appears only made of this. Endless. When will you see land again. When did you see it last. Have you seen anything else lately. Will you see anything else ever. Will you reach land again.

There's just something weirdly comforting about how impossibly, incomprehensibly large our universe is. I get to be a collection of sentiment particles for a bit, then back to darkness.
@jac6548 perhaps the telescope is like our eyes, limited in the distance that it can see, or somethingcould be blocking it that we can'tcomprehend. Therefore, our universe would be unfathomable in size. Aside from that, we can only look at it from our current, singular perspective (Earth/Solar System). Therefore, we cannot generate a 100% accurate picture, and we cannot truly comprehend our reality.
Your videos are just incredibly perfect. You've single handily gotten my 7 year old son to love physics and the universe. Thank you so much for your videos
I cannot stress the importance of planting seeds of interest in children. The older I get, the more I realize how influenced my interests have been by my parents who introduced me to everything from history to biology from an early age, which I am incredibly thankful for. Keep up the good work
A few months ago, I watched a video of JJJ singing Pizza Time. I thought it was funny, and never thought of it again. Then, months later, I saw your comment. I decided to check your channel, and I saw that random video. What a coincidence.
We're "near" millions of planets and moons. Plenty of objects for life to possibly develop on. The issue is that alien, at least the ones near us, probably don't have any technology, or even intelligence, so detecting is hard because they don't influence much. Luckily, two "very close" celestial bodies, Mars and Titan, may contain life. Titan already has organic chemicals in its ocean, and while evidence of life on Mars is scarce, it still seems to have conditions like primordial Earth.
@@BarryDylan111 The night sky _does_ look sick! You just can't usually see it because of light pollution. Look up "night sky without light pollution" to see what I mean. As for chances, while our region isn't particularly dense, there are still hundreds of thousands of planets and moon that could (and possibly do) support life "near" us. And like I said earlier, apart from Earth obviously, there are already candidates in our solar system, as well as Proxima Centauri, the closest other solar system to us, which is "only" 4 light years away. Which is feasible to travel to with future propulsion technologies.

I've watched this a year ago and my friend SEA is making quality videos and doesn't upload that often. Re-watching was definitely worth it. It's just the way SEA does the narration and the tempo of his voice. Thanks for making these mind-blowing and mind opening videos sir ☺️👍
@@puggerslovers I agree. Our understanding of reality is such a narrow band of the entire scale, and it goes down further we can detect and likewise, it scales up beyond our ability to recognize.
@@puggerslovers immagine if all the intelligent life we were looking for were so small we just cant yet see it . If the universe were a being .. would it be able to see us ? ... is it possible that something could be so large we can't see it .. will we ever send someone into a black hole ? Please let it be me lol
The natural state of the universe may be enternal inflation. We may just be a lucky spot that isn't inflating so fast. (Related: Google Lee Smolin's Fecund Universes theory.)
I find it most fascinating that the universe might not be expanding as much as we thought, because our movement in the Galaxy supercluster could be messing with our redshift measurements. And the scale is more inspiring to me then mindboggling. I don't know why, but I have it easy with huge sizes.
The Fornax void sounds coolest of all. I bet there's a single star at the center and on a planet there the super-deadly Fornaxians live, but fortunately, they can never leave the vast Fornax void.
I use this video to help me fall asleep at night. There is something wonderful about trying to imagine myself in a spacesuit floating through expanses of space nearly devoid of atoms, being the densest around. Not unlike my schooling days.
We cant, we can think about it but not rationalize the 100% of it in our heads, like imagining 100000 in our minds. You understand the concept, but cant grasp it
Very well said. I agree with both of the statements made. Scale is everything because if it isn't taken into account then your perception of things will almost certainly be distorted.
Question: Considering we have only just been able to reach the end of our own solar system, and in doing so we've discovered it's denser than we expected (see any number of the Voyager videos discussing this topic), how can we have any guess as to what the density of atoms is between galaxies? I'm addressing two factors here: - How little I know about what the human race as a whole has discovered - How accurate our assumptions about what we've discovered are
Exactly, for all we know interstellar space may be something similar to the density of a soup, and our stars solar winds etc simply dilute the density within our Heliopause. Quite an exciting time for scientific discoveries imo
I'm glad this popped up in my recommended feed. I love the idea of gargantuan voids of near-nothingness (taking elementary particles and such into consideration). The idea that if you were in the center of it, you would see nothing but darkness is eerie, yet comforting.
11:10 For anyone wondering, that's 14% of one degree Celsius A deviation of temperature in a section of space 14% of one degree Celsius is a major mystery in astronomy I love space, lol
When he said, "the temperature varies by a hundred and forty" he meant "100 and 40, not 140" its actually 0.001% to 0.0004% of 1 degree Kelvin, not Celsius and Absolute 0 (which we never seen or observed) is 0 Kelvin, you are completely mistaken, 14% of 1 degree Celsius is just nearly 0 degree Celsius which is not a big deal, I get -40 degree Celsius in my country
Slinkerdeer however small the temperature change, if it deviates from the rest of the entire universe then it is still something worth investigating- there’s always a cause.
@@MrQuacker_ No, he didn't say that at all. You are the one completely mistaken. He actually meant 140, not 100 and 40, that doesn't even make sense in the given sentence. The temperature fluctuates by 140 microKelvin, which is the same thing as 0.00014 Kelvin, which is the same thing as 0.00014 degrees Celsius. Celsius and Kelvin have the same magnitude. 0.001% to 0.0004% of a Kelvin is 10 to 4 microKelvin, you don't even have your math right. You have no idea how Celsius works, it's a unit of temperature just like Kelvin with the same magnitude as a Kelvin, the unit itself has nothing to do with 0 degrees Celsius. Trust me I studied the CMB.
Totes but in actuality doesn’t make sense. And I think Lucas conceded that too because parsec is a distance, not a time frame. It’s like saying I traveled from New York to Jersey in 12 miles, like what?
I just always wish that these Voids in the Universe are just super technologically advanced civilizations using Dyson Spheres or something that utilizes energy from Stars or Super Massive Black Holes at the center of galaxies and this energy transfer interferes with our perception of light coming from these voids.
Dustin Platt there’s a video on the Boötes Void that mentions that very thing. It’s both amazing and terrifying to think. If there are civilizations out there with the technology and resources to do that, then we better bend the knee and kiss ass to live. Even more terrifying is that it’s a single civilization inhabiting a massive void.
carso1500 the universe may not be going anywhere, but I have doubts that humanity will ever achieve extra-galactic status. Let alone obtain the technological mastery and resources required to occupy a several hundred million light year area and hide almost all of it.
Astronomy is a good starting point to try to explain our rapid expansion of knowledge these past few decades. I'm my lifetime, we've gone from 9 known planets to thousands of confirmed planets. We've gone from thinking our Galaxy is the only Galaxy, to knowing there are trillions or quadrillions of galaxies and a near uncountable number of stars and most likely planets as well. And new discoveries are certain to come as our modern observatories are built and satellites launched into space. Hubble and the impact of the deep space picture are a small picture of what is to come.
Learning about the cosmos is fascinating and although I may never live long enough to explore space or even leave this planet it's amazing to live in such a time where we know so much and out learning so much everyday.
Leave Earth my ass, tech progress is much slower than they say, cars still don't fly, no base on Mars, people still kill each other over stupid religions, no nothing.
How come these types of videos where it would bore me to death back in high school, make me feel so interested in becoming an astrophysicist now? Great content, thanks for making this!

I once wanted to write a scifi horror story about a colony ship that gets stranded deep inside a void, wormhole accident or whatever. They're all "okay, guess this is home from now on". But then, strange things happen. Like newborns are all still births, everything starts getting haunted, the dead have nowhere to go, etc.
@@imEden0 I assume there is a concept of soul and after life. The ship went outside the coverage for after life incorporated so they can't receive the souls of the dead and put them back into the life cycle. That also explains why all babies are still born, they have no soul since no one has installed it.
Come on you can think of better weird things than that,. How about planets that are actually there but also alive, with mouths full of teeth, floating around like sea creatures swimming underwater. Massive planetary living planet monsters. Sounds scary AF!
I just realized the horrifying implications of suddenly out of the blue, in the night sky we see a massive hemisphere covering structure in space, and the only reason we never saw it till now was because it's light took this long to get to us. There could be a giant Cthulhu head starting at us right now the size of half our sky and we'll never see it until we do.
yes but that actually wouldn't be the case. the universe isn't hundred of millions of years old. Its billions, which means the light from our galaxy would have reached there FAR longer in the past than just 50 years ago. lol.
For those scrolling through the comments: A lot of what is mentioned in this video is still theory, for example mentions of dark matter. We have no clue whether dark matter exists or not, we just use it to explain phenomena we see across the universe that otherwise shouldn't be able to exist. Anyway, have a nice day!
Sorry to be that guy, but it's actually a hypothesis, since a theory is a scientific term for something already tested and known. But yeah, some are just mathematically possible, not yet seen.

I’ve seen a theory that we may never be able to get out of our local galactic cluster. As space is expanding so fast and as you pointed out the voids are getting bigger as the clusters continue to group up. With this in mind if we can never invent technology to move faster than the speed of light we may never be able to leave our local cluster.
Imagine humanity just living in a starless sky for thousands of years... then stars just start popping up in the sky as their light finally reaches our planet. Considering how many people were scared of aliens and Russian satellites around that time, chaos would've probably swept across the world and killed us all off.

I took a few menial astronomy Classes in college and one day learning about the Eridanus asked my Professor where we could learn more about it. She smiled and a said “don’t worry, we’ll all be very acquainted with the void one day…” 🙁
any wallsocket So technically it went from Immeasurable from having no definite measures, to Immeasurable from having nothing around to compare with, to Immeasurable for not having anyone or anything capable of measuring it while its size was small enough to be understood, to Immeasurable from being too insanely big to be fully measured...
Those voids might be devoid of matter, but they certainly aren't devoid of light. It's stunning to think about just how many photons are zipping through every point in space, from all directions.
You know, what's weird is that these types of videos give me a form of motivation I just can't put my finger on. It just shows how in the grand scheme of things, our choices and everything we do ultimately doesn't matter and we're all but a miniscule part of everything but in that same idea, it also means that we should appreciate what we are and learn all that we can. Our choices matter in a way that nothing else, as far as we know, can understand. To the universe we don't matter but the universe matters to us. I know it's probably not all that deep as I made it out to be but it's my way of trying to put my finger on how I feel every time I watch videos like this.
Your fallacy of duality is assuming we are separate from the universe. We are _part_ of the Universe. _Every_ part is valuable otherwise it wouldn’t exist in the first place. Every choice we make echoes in Eternity.
Well, it all depends on scale. Compared to the universe as whole, yeah, you're a infinitesimally tiny thing. But compared to the base components of the universe, you're an absolutely gigantic titan.
We marvel at the number and sizes of observable galaxies while giving little attention to the field they lay in. Imagine calling one tree on an open plain a forrest.

Imagine traveling in a spaceship in the heart of one of these voids. You could presumably look out of a window and see absolutely _nothing…_ mind you, there will be no depth perception or anything. Pure blackness. Just nothing, in the most profound sense of the word.
what? Couldn't you just see stars and galaxies just like me see them now, mind you there's no atmosphere so its easier to see, they would be far away but they are far away on earth and we see galaxies and stars still, he even said were in a void now
@@nikolaskeller9987 actually, all of the stars you can see in the night sky are in our very own galaxy! And it’s true that light will be reaching your spaceship, but will more than likely be redshifted to the point that your eyes won’t be able to detect it.
@@Folse o shit well, TIL thanks!
well, its the same thing sailors see in the middle of the pacific in a very cloudy day.
Empty. There is the sea but, unless you have business there, it is inaccessible to you. The sky tells nothing either. You only know if it is night or day by its light and your own clock.
Vast. The planet appears made mostly of this. Your world appears only made of this.
Endless. When will you see land again. When did you see it last. Have you seen anything else lately. Will you see anything else ever. Will you reach land again.
@@Folse That's actually false, in less light polluted areas of earth under very clear conditions, you can see the Andromeda galaxy and the stars contained within. Also the Magellanic clouds which are not considered to be within the Milky Way.

We have our own little space in this giant universe. Kinda comfy really
@jac6548 perhaps the telescope is like our eyes, limited in the distance that it can see, or somethingcould be blocking it that we can'tcomprehend. Therefore, our universe would be unfathomable in size. Aside from that, we can only look at it from our current, singular perspective (Earth/Solar System). Therefore, we cannot generate a 100% accurate picture, and we cannot truly comprehend our reality.

Damn, maybe thats why theres no aliens around... we're in the cosmic Wyoming
lmaoo
We're "near" millions of planets and moons. Plenty of objects for life to possibly develop on. The issue is that alien, at least the ones near us, probably don't have any technology, or even intelligence, so detecting is hard because they don't influence much. Luckily, two "very close" celestial bodies, Mars and Titan, may contain life. Titan already has organic chemicals in its ocean, and while evidence of life on Mars is scarce, it still seems to have conditions like primordial Earth.
@@tristanmisja yeah but imagine we were in a massive cluster. The chance would be way higher. Also the night sky would probably look sick too
@@BarryDylan111 The night sky _does_ look sick! You just can't usually see it because of light pollution. Look up "night sky without light pollution" to see what I mean. As for chances, while our region isn't particularly dense, there are still hundreds of thousands of planets and moon that could (and possibly do) support life "near" us. And like I said earlier, apart from Earth obviously, there are already candidates in our solar system, as well as Proxima Centauri, the closest other solar system to us, which is "only" 4 light years away. Which is feasible to travel to with future propulsion technologies.

Question: Considering we have only just been able to reach the end of our own solar system, and in doing so we've discovered it's denser than we expected (see any number of the Voyager videos discussing this topic), how can we have any guess as to what the density of atoms is between galaxies?
I'm addressing two factors here:
- How little I know about what the human race as a whole has discovered
- How accurate our assumptions about what we've discovered are
Exactly, for all we know interstellar space may be something similar to the density of a soup, and our stars solar winds etc simply dilute the density within our Heliopause. Quite an exciting time for scientific discoveries imo

For anyone wondering, that's 14% of one degree Celsius
A deviation of temperature in a section of space 14% of one degree Celsius is a major mystery in astronomy
I love space, lol
When he said, "the temperature varies by a hundred and forty" he meant "100 and 40, not 140" its actually 0.001% to 0.0004% of 1 degree Kelvin, not Celsius and Absolute 0 (which we never seen or observed) is 0 Kelvin, you are completely mistaken, 14% of 1 degree Celsius is just nearly 0 degree Celsius which is not a big deal, I get -40 degree Celsius in my country
Slinkerdeer however small the temperature change, if it deviates from the rest of the entire universe then it is still something worth investigating- there’s always a cause.
@@MrQuacker_ No, he didn't say that at all. You are the one completely mistaken. He actually meant 140, not 100 and 40, that doesn't even make sense in the given sentence. The temperature fluctuates by 140 microKelvin, which is the same thing as 0.00014 Kelvin, which is the same thing as 0.00014 degrees Celsius. Celsius and Kelvin have the same magnitude. 0.001% to 0.0004% of a Kelvin is 10 to 4 microKelvin, you don't even have your math right. You have no idea how Celsius works, it's a unit of temperature just like Kelvin with the same magnitude as a Kelvin, the unit itself has nothing to do with 0 degrees Celsius.

Astronomy is a good starting point to try to explain our rapid expansion of knowledge these past few decades. I'm my lifetime, we've gone from 9 known planets to thousands of confirmed planets. We've gone from thinking our Galaxy is the only Galaxy, to knowing there are trillions or quadrillions of galaxies and a near uncountable number of stars and most likely planets as well. And new discoveries are certain to come as our modern observatories are built and satellites launched into space. Hubble and the impact of the deep space picture are a small picture of what is to come.
Learning about the cosmos is fascinating and although I may never live long enough to explore space or even leave this planet it's amazing to live in such a time where we know so much and out learning so much everyday.

Those voids might be devoid of matter, but they certainly aren't devoid of light. It's stunning to think about just how many photons are zipping through every point in space, from all directions.
You know, what's weird is that these types of videos give me a form of motivation I just can't put my finger on. It just shows how in the grand scheme of things, our choices and everything we do ultimately doesn't matter and we're all but a miniscule part of everything but in that same idea, it also means that we should appreciate what we are and learn all that we can.
Our choices matter in a way that nothing else, as far as we know, can understand. To the universe we don't matter but the universe matters to us. I know it's probably not all that deep as I made it out to be but it's my way of trying to put my finger on how I feel every time I watch videos like this.
Your fallacy of duality is assuming we are separate from the universe. We are _part_ of the Universe. _Every_ part is valuable otherwise it wouldn’t exist in the first place.
Every choice we make echoes in Eternity.
3:14 And some people were able to discover "structures" as large as this from a tiny rock floating in space
I normally don’t feel uneasy when I see how vast space is. But this made me feel so small
Well, it all depends on scale. Compared to the universe as whole, yeah, you're a infinitesimally tiny thing. But compared to the base components of the universe, you're an absolutely gigantic titan.
The timing and execution of “that’s a lot of atoms” was perfection
The biggest void is not the bootes void, but my friendship circle....
We needed you in a time like this and you came through.
Southside 609 three weeks of lockdown to come...... expect more 👀
SEA thanks man your channel is amazing
We marvel at the number and sizes of observable galaxies while giving little attention to the field they lay in. Imagine calling one tree on an open plain a forrest.
Lol didn’t realise you were sea1997 until halfway into the video.
Really good exploration!
me: sitting looking at cool pictures of the galaxy and i have no idea what this guy is talking about
this in depth way of going into voids is a perfect example of where I think I am when my teammates suddenly disappear and I have no idea where I am
