Nothingness would expand into infinity. Nothingness (0) doesn't represent a permanent location. Therefore, that could become (+0.0-0.0) x (6 or n). In that case, the size of the universe could become 0 to 0.0. But according to my calculation, the universe converted from 0 to 0.00000 with a mathematical relationship, making the elementary particles, forces, etc. In that case, the size of the universe initial universe was +0.00000-0.00000, and the infinity in the universe was located between +0.00000 and -0.00000. But the universe could continue at the edge (at +0.00000 and -0.00000), making more and more dimensions. The absolute time must continue if there is something (time) even if there is nothing (not even space). And that is why the relative time emerged. Relativeness of the time dimensions is the energy (the universe). The relative time doesn't stop the absolute time in any case. But the relative time can stop relatively. Many directional moments at a moment can make the entire universe while increasing the moments with the expansion of the universe. So the universe is growing making directional moments. Best of luck.
This is great, but i Believe that the infinite void is only truly converted by something I e actual Materiality existeance levels that encompass all actual consciousness dimensions. The void space to Materiality conversion processes have to interact with ‘pure void’ because in its own eternality it predates in ways even the existence of God and God forms. Thus it can only be re identified to any form by the highest Materiality frequency intensity available creation wide, then void integration with dimensions substance begins, thus ‘the best’ is sent to convert ‘the most difficult’ do you find that this makes ‘ structural sense’?

Cosmology and Physics are my favourite fields of learning. I am in my late 60s but still full of curiosity and wonder. This channel has long been and still remains one of my favourites. There was no such thing as the internet when I grew up and was in my 30s before I got my first computer and I believe this fact allows me to appreciate the current information age so much more than people who have never known anything else. The fact that a working-class guy like myself has all this knowledge and learning, not to mention art and culture at my fingertips, a mouse click away still excites and amazes me. The nearest thing to today,s communication network was the Starship Enterprise and its gadgets! I never imagined back then that such wonders would become easily available! I remember seeing their communication devices resembling today's mobile phones and laptops and thinking they would remain in the imagination of science fiction writers! How blessed we are!
I’ve just woken up and your comment was the first thing I’ve read. What a positive, authentic and wholesome view on life. Thanks for lifting my spirit with your perception as most people gravitate to seeing all the negativity that surrounds us instead, like yourself, highlighting the beauty of things. Have a great weekend!
I can remember when the old-fashioned flip phone came along. Everyone who pulled one out in front of his friends felt compelled to say “Beam me up, Scotty. This planet sucks.”
From one Steve also in his late 60s to another, that's exactly how I feel. How things have changed since we were kids. I remember about 20 years ago, I saw the James Cameron documentary called "Aliens of the Deep". It's a fantastic doco. Anyway, JPL- NASA Astrobiologist and Mineralogist Pamela Conrad (now 69 years old) was in a deep submersible submarine testing out a life-detecting laser which would be used on the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity and Perseverance. She made a remark that would be lost on most people. She's testing this laser in a submarine at maybe 1000 meters depth, and having a great time and laughing her head off she says "This is way better than the cardboard box". It immediately reminded me when I was a kid and we would play inside refrigerator sized cardboard boxes. With sticks, tape and marker pens we'd make them into submarines, planes, boats, spaceships etc. and we'd have a grand old time playing and using our imagination. It was so much fun. I think that's what she was talking about, and probably blown away that she finally made it into the real thing. Kids don't do that today, because now they have computers and a whole range of virtual worlds to get lost in. Sure, they're great, but I still have fond memories of the cardboard box submarines and spaceships. And we had the fantastic experience of watching the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs landing men on the Moon. Wow! Those were the days. I'll bet you're looking forward to our return to the Moon, and like me, enthralled by Spacex, and probably hoping that we live long enough to see humans walking on Mars. "May the Force be with you, Steve!" 🚀
11 years ago before podcasts were as big as they are now, I was deployed in the mountains of Afghanistan and the only connection to the outside world was what we had saved on hard drives. No phone, no internet, just two way radio and paper mail. I had an hour~ long audio recording ripped from a CD that was all about infinity (which I have unfortunately lost the name to)- this video was the first thing I've heard since then that has combined the human and scientific aspects of this subject in a way that was able to stir up the feelings that my original recording was able to do over a decade ago. Thank you.
@@jamiebarr3118 I wasn't at nor know anything about OP rock, but I was in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2011 and again in 2013 to 2014 in Kandahar and we actually did have a strange encounter. We were making our way across the open desert in our strykers ( was with 2CR at the time) and we saw a large, glowing "sphere" that had bright orange light emanating from it. It was maybe 30 to 40 feet above the ground and went east to west at a pace I'd estimate to be at about 5 mph. The entire platoon saw it. We radioed it up to x-ray (HQ) and our MI guy put it into the debrief. Apparently the unit that owned the battlespace west of us saw it too and experienced the same thing. Have no clue what the hell it was. Not saying it was a UFO, but it damn sure wasn't anything anyone had ever seen before. There was a weird "statically" feeling in the air as it passed. I'll never forget that night. Very strange.
@@ericthiel4053 Wow! Thank you heaps for sharing, that sounds very interesting and bizarre at the same time. The sensation of static in the air is particularly unusual and I can only imagine what that would feel like.

If it helps shed some context on the immensity of TREE(3), check out the wikipedia page for Graham's number. For years, Graham's number was the largest number used in a published mathematical proof. Special notation has to be used, just to apply the most naive "understanding/extrapolation" of it (I think it's called Knutt's UPArrow notation)....anyway, if you can wrap your head around how inconceivable Graham's number is, and then accept that it's dwarfed into nothingness by TREE(3) you may like where you're at. The wikipedia page for Graham's number is heady, but at least somewhat understandable....
Im over here crying about the shape of my body and then there’s just the very concept of infinity existing and it just blows all of my insignificant thoughts and insecurities to pieces, but then to bring in the concept of an infinite UNIVERSE and TIME? Like… my mind couldn’t get any more blown. Almost turns that good feeling of insignificance bad.. like damn life really is pointless maybe I should just drink myself to death… and then I snap back to reality lol whatever that is. Our small little human brains just can’t handle not being the center of the universe 😂 but I love the nihilism tho it’s dreadful and fascinating
Insignificant maybe, but mostly modest and humble which apparently is not the case after reading the comments. I was going to add unfairness as the human body is limited, weak, slow and finite to be able to go out for a galactic or universal journey or the fact that even at this level of telescopic technology we couldn't discover an outside earth intelligent life form for an invitation to visit us but then I remember the probability of the existence of life on this planet and I feel lucky and hungry.

I used to love Cosmology when I was in my school years, but I lost that passion because I didn't find people around me that would love the same, and no one really encouraged it. Thanks to YT and channels such as yours, I feel so excited listening to all of this. Got through the entire video and didn't feel like I've been listening for enough time. Thank you!
Mathematically it also requires that you be able to observe a larger infinity than the infinity you hope to understand, and how do you ever know you are the largest infinity? If your capacity to observe the space of the universe is the speed of light, and the entire universe is infinitely large and is expanding at some constant rate that isn't infinitesimal; then a point in space at some distance away from you (not even infinitely far away from you, at a distance that is calculatable based on the speed of universe expansion) is moving away from you faster than you can ever hope to approach it or even see it. You can thus have an infinite area of space to observe, but can never observe or interact outside of a specific bubble of infinite space. There could be an infinite number of these bubbles of infinity within a bigger space, and only an entity larger than the infinity that divides these bubbles could observe both of these bubbles unless they can interact.
I'm 40 and in my heart, I am still a little kid amazed at every day, in every way, experiencing our beautiful Universe in this short lifespan. I pray that I am worthy of life. It's a gift not to be taken for granted.
Carol my friend. The most valuable lesson i have learned is that happiness neither exist in the future or the past. It is a concept that can only be experiened in the now. Henceforth why happiness is fleeting. So an exercise i try to do is remove all thoughts of the past from my mind and all thoughts of the future. Focus your mind on the now. Examine your surroundings delight in the company of others etc.
@@tommytwotoes The One who holds the future in his hands says it will be better than the days we have here, if we believe. He will take away all pain and suffering and that there will be no death in His kingdom. Peace and love forever with no heartbreaks. Sin wont ever enter His kingdom. No abortion, no murder or violence, no war. The future is what we need to live for, everyday. One day at a time, shining His light as we go, but always with the King and his kingdom as a goal. This is just a test to see where your loyalties are. The next life will be better by infinity x infinity.

The beauty of these videos is that even for a second your mind wanders in a different direction you'll lose the grasp of what's going on. That's the kind of attention these videos deserve.
@@muhammadanwar-bt8hm I think it's our courage to dare to explore the unknown, motivated by our insatiable curiosity, that need to know what's on the other side of a figurative hill or mountain, that is one of the best human qualities we have. When Hubble took that image, surprising me that it wasn't just a black patch of sky but revealing all those very distant galaxies filled my mind with astonished wonder, overcoming my fear. For me it's not comprehending the vastness that is scary, it's contemplating the violence of the event horizon of a Black Hole; the maelstrom of the accretion disk is like a seemingly never ending giant tornado or hurricane. Another scary contemplation is the extreme/hard X-ray radiation emanating from neutron stars, that could kill an exposed person in seconds.
I was sitting in my garden one evening. I noticed an ant walking along oblivious to the sentient being watching her. I lowered my hand and let her crawl onto my finger. As she weaved around my fingers with no discernible concern...I thought about her observable universe. I smiled ever so slightly before lowering my hand to allow her to scurry off. She will live and die...her entire observable Universe in my backyard...oblivious of her abduction, unaware of the stars, ignorant of the cell phone in my pocket...that the hand that just held her is typing this very comment...in a language she will never know...to communicate via light, to a species she cannot fathom. Humans are spectacular...but ultimately ants in the backyard of their Observable Universe.
Nice illustration, 60 years ago I asked my Physics teacher this question, if you could shoot an arrow at the speed of light and it never slowed it should keep going straight forever. I couldn’t accept that the universe could end with nothing beyond, neither could I accept a beginning with nothing existing before. Now accepting this is easy for me, understanding it is no more in my grasp than the ant in your backyard.
@@paulmarc-aurele5508 My Dad told me about being in Physics class back in the 60's and how he wrote a paper about the Universe being like a single bubble in a sink full of bubbles....and how his teacher laughed and said "That's great....prove it with Math" My Dad has since passed....and I wish he could see the "Multi-verse" theories that are gaining traction.
After seeing the bustling life at the bottom of the Mariana Trench ( thought I was looking at the marijuana trench, since I’d sparked one up! ), I came to believe Life can, and does, exist everywhere in some form…..! And I believe even Atoms and Strings think!
Agree, herpes must think at some level because it’s a mutherpucking brilliant little piece of shite the way that it invades and eludes the immune system, and then there is cancer.
I found this channel right after the second video was uploaded, and it has been beautiful to see the extent to which it has grown. I struggle to think of another channel more deserving. Thank you for bringing us free, documentary-quality content, and thank you for helping to keep my love for science alive.
I agree, a wonderful channel here. I would also suggest a channel called SEA. He does astronomy/physics videos as well as other interesting and strange topics.
Check the channels tab, they have channels with other topics. History of the earth, history time, voices of the past - all the same high quality approach. As other commenter mentioned SEA is also great space content.
The universe is infinite, information has always existed with no beginning and it will always exist without end, information can only be transformed. The eternal information of reality/existence is sentient. That sentience is God. You are made out of God's essence and you currently live in God's infinite being. Your life is not meaningless because in an infinite universe in an infinite reality, all things infinitely matter to one who is infinitely empathetic and infinitely good.
I studied Mandelbrot's work for years in graduate school. His ideas are what drove me to study mathematics. It's always fascinated me, however, how so many brilliant minds helped shape mathematics so many years ago, without access to the technology we have today.
True genetic freaks! Absolute genius's! Their potential with today's tech would be insane! I always use the analogy, imagine if Stanley Kubrick would do with today's tech when he was starting as young man
I used to watch the Mandlebrot Set with a similar infinite fractal audio at the same time, and it was like being on hallucinogenic drugs while being entirely sober.
For me, it’s trying to imagine something that never ends. Everything we know of has an end. End of a road, end of a track, end of life. If there’s a wall, there must be something behind it. If the universe never ends, where is it contained? Just thinking what the universe is just gives me a panic attack 😂
I do think one can go mad trying to fully comprehend infinity, if that’s even possible, which I doubt. This is the reason I had to give up chess. Once I got decent at it all I could see where seemingly more possibilities but a slowing of actual action. To be a grandmaster might well be accepting a life of madness in which all that really matters is chess. Is such a life worthwhile?
We must Take caution to not Impose Things from one category on another one. To see what i mean, consider this seemingly simple Question, of which i think, that it resembles the Question about the universe. The Question is: If anything in Time has a beginning and end, when did time itself began and when will it end? For you must See, that all Relation is relative to a underlying Thing. It seems to be needed, that a Last one must be there, for Else it would go into Infinity. But maybe this is the only possible conclusion. That the ultimate is Infinite and thereby nothing in Relation to it and anything. In talking about time, it would amount to the Thing called 'now'. Maybe this is, what is meant, when it says 'to know, that you dont know.' For it is possible to know, that the ultimate cannot be known, Just by understanding the simultanious necessity and Impossibility of it. It cannot be spoken of this. To understand this might be wisdom. To Not do so, maybe the path to insanity.
Depends on your definition of a "worthwhile" life. Why does a life have to be "worthwhile," as I think you define it? Many more questions arise at your assertions.
@@thecook8964 please ask me all Questions you have, for that nothing May be Hidden for both of us. I think i tried to mean with worthwhile, that a Life in delusion and Error would lead to Failure in being Happy. As Happiness will be the ultimate Purpouse, the Failure at attaining it would Render such a Life probably Not worthwile, concerning also its Future, If nothing Changes about this circumatance. You can think of it more easily by Just recognising the logical structure. Anything worthwile must be desireable. But all that is ultimatey Desired is happiness. Therefore, all Action and pursuit of happiness, that fails do to delusion and Error, cant be called worthwile, for this is never desired, but rather despised. I therefore did Not want to speak of my opinion or anything, but rather clarify the necessity of Things.
Oddly, I never get a sense of existential dread from videos like this, instead they are strangely freeing. I feel happier after watching them, knowing there is so much to learn, so much more than I can in this life, but an immense universe (or multiverse!) full of mysteries to attempt to understand.
Agreed. That symbol systems may have limits or may be wrong should not really be a surprise anyway. If that happens it will mean more things to learn and many more mysteries to explore.
I am the same. It's like people's struggle with the no information theorem and free will. An infinite universe makes every decision we make arbitrary, but damn it's good to be able to experience the ride.
At the other side of an existential crisis is a sort of bliss. Thinking of things like this and even stuff like lack of free will or nihilism actually give me a real sense of higher purpose. I’m aware not everyone is like this
Imagine the boredom of a type 3 civilization slowly waiting for heat death with all the answers. I much rather be an idiot in the pursuit of less ignorance.

Salvia trips on 20x+ extracts are quite a consistently frightening and similar read. I had the opportunity to go on one of those trips once and I believe that we maybe are meant to be ignorant as humans of some aspects of how things work. The inner working of reality may present to us as dark, insane and frightening.
@@chickenbroski99 Dude that is so fascinating. Wow. I've ready innumerable reports on erowid of salvia and it is utterly terrifying at times. I completely agree. I think salvia opens up the human mind to things it's not meant to see, not because it's bad, but because our brains would go mad from trying to comprehend it. It's software for a supercomputer that you're trying to run on a raspberry pi. Like God didn't design humans to see such things because he knew human consciousness can't handle it.
@@chickenbroski99 Wow, I just read a salvia report again, 90x extract. If anyone's out there reading this and wants to do salvia, do DMT instead. There's less of a chance of DMT seriously effing you up in my opinion. This last guy I read about was practically never the same again after his trip, and it seriously messed up his mind and life. Read some bad trip reports of whatever you might want to try to prepare for the worst, never only read the good reports. After reading them seriously ask yourself if the risks to your mental health are worth it to you.
@@unemployedgringo a close friend of mine did salvia while drinking and ended up choking on his vomit. He was comatose for two days and has never been the same since. Having done salvia myself, I can only imagine the terror he must’ve went through. I would never recommend it to anyone.
The narrator's explanation of TREE(2) really is proof positive you can't explain something well if you don't understand it yourself. In fact, he doesn't really explain TREE(2), he just provides the answer, which I'm assuming confused anyone actually trying to understand the concept. Check out the video on the subject by Numberphile to get a much better explanation of the TREE function.
I think it's especially amazing for people who grew up without the internet. We had to rely on books, encyclopedias, and other physical resources to learn about the world. Now, we have access to all of that information and more, just a few keystrokes away. It's truly a privilege to live in this time. I'm also a big fan of cosmology and physics. I think it's fascinating to try to understand the universe and how it works. The fact that we can even begin to understand something as vast and complex as the universe is a testament to the power of human ingenuity. I'm so glad that you're a fan of my channel. I hope that I can continue to provide you with interesting and informative content about cosmology and physics.
Now everything is available on single click but people don’t have time or motivation to explore these things. So in old age they were reading books but at that time they really had good motivation and everything was on their fingertips.
🤣Those were the days, my friend....I did a whole thesis involving consciousness, quantum physics and psychology BTI - before the internet! My brain resorted to dreaming about it all. That was phenomenally useful. I just went with it! Question is, would I have learnt so much if I'd had access to the almighty plethora of junk science that floats around the interwebs now?! Would I have had any such revelatory dreams...?
you need to take into consideration before writing a lengthy "comment" such as this that not everyone would agree with you, and that it is an opinion. people like myself don't care that you didn't have access to the internet. we get it, internet wasn't always around, and you're old. learn respect

I personally find comfort in infinity because it makes death and monotony seem temporary on an infinite time frame. In a way it also offers us true freedom because we're not bound by a general greater meaning, we make something of everything given by the universe ourselves.
I’ve been watching a lot of near death experience videos and many account that our brains here on this physical existence are limiters. The brain acts to restrict us in the greater knowledge. If we had the ability understand beyond this we probably wouldn’t bother living.

The fact that 'Something' ' exists rather than 'Nothing', means there cannot be a boundary of 'Nothing'. Hence time and space are infinite. Everything exists and all at once and infinitely.
Indeed, it seems to me that if absolute nothing were to exist beside something, then it would contradict itself faster than both existence or nonexistence. The universe operates on the principle of non-contradiction, which is the reason for "reason", study, rationality, and intelligence itself. In the same vein, will is required to create will, and intelligence is required to create intelligence. As it would be ridiculous to claim that order is an extension of chaos, as chaos itself cannot fundamentally exist - except as a limitation of the observer. It's inconvenient for many, but that we exist at all is an irrefutable argument for intelligent design.
From the beginning of my becoming conscious every one of my thoughts has been about something. Thus when I try to imagine absolute nothing I find I can do it only when I am not conscious. Curiously, when my self is not conscious, it seems to my self that my self is non existent. The seeming is not over the duration of my non existence, of course, for then there is only absolute nothing, but only when my self is conscious, existent and reflecting on the experiential gap in my memory and the contrast between the state of the world before and after. I think the fact that my self exists only when my self is conscious and my self is conscious only when my self exists, renders the phrase 'conscious self' something like redundant. ('Self conscious' on the other hand, is simply my self being conscious of my self's existence, my self as just another thing of which my self can be conscious). When I try to imagine the infinite I fail and I think this is because no matter how much I imagine there is an infinite amount remaining to be included (and my thinking is a process}.
@piterpraker3399 Have you not heard of emergent properties before? Something can gain new properties that its constituent parts did not have. "Wetness" is an emergent propert for example. Intelligence and will are just emergent properties of the brain which is made of matter. If you needed will or intelligence to come from previous will or intelligence you'd have an infinite regress, or you'd have to draw an arbitrary line at "god", without even proving that as a possibility in the first place. Intelligent design is not a coherent theory that matches reality, it's trying to fit reality to match religion. It's the opposite of science where you start with a conclusion and to find evidence to support it. So again, have you not heard of emergent properties? And, before positing religion or supernatural things as explanations, remember that that doesn't answer anything as none of that has been proven before. It's offering a solution to a problem when the solution itself is a problem.
No no it’s not. It’s complete nonsense. Please just study from an actual physics book instead of this pop science garbage. This AI voice crap just takes real scientific facts, and then starts concluding stuff that cannot possibly be inferred from the data.
It's not a horror, it's fascinating and amazing, soothing and wonderful to mentally explore, especially while in a dreamy state, as are your TH-cam videos. The more, the better, your videos are of the absolute best.
Yeah Science is supposed to be beautiful and brings new hope. The unknown has always been there and we have faced it whether it was good, bad or both. Many TH-cam videos like these try to poke at your vulnerability and anxiety so you can keep binging these videos.
@@bigmedicine2283 No we know that the cosmos can be a scary place but not all of it but aren't all new places that haven't been explored been deemed to be "no man's land".

I don't understand the trees and branches and seeds. In the demonstration he has 6 branches coming off of one seed. Why couldn't they do 4 branches off of 1 seed for "tree 2"?
It's a combination of factors. In the list of trees, the n'th tree cannot have more than 1 node. So the first tree can have only 1 node. That means that if any tree after that first tree has a node with the same colour as the first tree (green), then it contains the first tree as a subtree, and would therefore be illegal. So any trees after the first must be another colour. And since we are talking about Tree(2), then we only have 2 colours, so all subsequent trees must be the same colour (red). Since the second tree can have maximum of 2 nodes, we have a choice of having either 1 or 2 red nodes in that tree. If we choose 1 ree node, then every tree after that would be illegal, because it would either contain the first tree or the second tree as a subtree. If we choose 2 trees, them they must be connected, and so any subsequent trees that contain 2 connected red nodes would be illegal. So the only legal 3rd tree would be a single red node, and after that all trees are illegal. So Tree(2) is 3, since it is the length of the largest series of trees of 2 colours that follow those rules. If you had a tree that branched out into many branches, it would either have too many nodes for its place in the list, or contain a previous tree as a subtree.
Sorry for the typos, I wrote it on a mobile phone in a train, I hope it still makes sense. Just substitute red for ree, and nodes for trees in the right places :)
I love how you introduced the idea of tribesmen and then moved on to explain some things but later on when you ask a new question you brought the tribesmen back and it made comprehending the next point much easier. Love your story telling.
The Boltzmann Brain concept is something I used to think about when I would try and grapple with concepts like life after death or death being the end of existence, and still remains probably my greatest fear
When you’re awake time is linear. When you’re asleep time is non-linear and bi-directional. When you’re unconscious you have no way of knowing how much time has passed when you awaken (after surgery / general anaesthetic). I think the Universe replays itself, the craziest thing is we can never prove that, and no matter how unlikely it is everything runs the same way, we end up on Earth again…It’s like nature has found a solution to a problem it set itself the only variables are what we do with our lives and next time, and the time after that etc… Take it easy bud👍
The Boltzmann Brain concept, is most horrifying thing I have ever heard or read about. The amount of anxiety that idea gives me it is unbelievable. Every time I hear that or read that, my anxiety and existential crisis goes through this roof. Even before I had ever heard about this Boltzmann Brain thing, I had fear that what if I am really the only living thing and everything else is just my minds imagination. So when I heard about Boltzmann Brain, you can imagine what that did to me.

To look at it from an optimistic point of view, does the concept of "death" even really exist in an infinite universe? If by sheer statistical eventuality did particles contrive a human brain with a specific set of memories and perspective, then within infinite space-time, it _must_ do it again, in the exact same manner. Your heart can stop beating, your neurons can stop firing, but "you," quite literally, _will_ live again. ... Scratch the optimistic part. I'm feeling dizzy.
@@sharkodile22 This thought is especially interesting to me because it makes another question arise: In an infinite universe, *you* will exist anytime anywhere. The *you* you are now might die this moment but an infinite amount of the exact same versions of you would still be around somewhere else so what is it really that makes you different from them (if there even is a difference) and what makes *you* really you?
Fascinating, well written and narrated. I think that the best scientists are those that have vivid imaginations as well as strong scientific abilities. Curiosity starts with "Why?" and " What if?". I really wish I had been better and more confident in mathematics when I was younger, and would have loved to have taken my interests in the sciences much further, but despite that I always try to learn something new every day. I call it "joining all the dots", because eventually you get to see the bigger picture, how different subjects are interconnected. We are often limited by the biases of the time in which we live, constrained by circumstances beyond our control, but so long as we keep being curious we will get there.
I am so stoked to watch. I want to listen at work but the visuals can't be missed. My wife and young adult kids are going to love this as well. Thanks!
I've just discovered this channel and I wasn't entirely unfamiliar with these concepts but I adored how coherent and comprehensible this video's explanations were. Especially considering the "size" of the topic!
I have always struggled to explain Aleph numbers and infinities to friends without set theory. Thank you for this video, you do the very thing in the second section of this video that I've wanted the ability to do for many years.
This provokes so much thought. Yet, despite always processing such things in the back of my mind, after watching this one I'm reconsidering that life might not be understandable, but can only be experienced (in our own limited way). Some very interesting comments here too, crikey, wish some of these folks were my friends. It would be delightful to speculate with them!
I have taken acid multiple times and always laughed and had a good time. New years like 5 years ago I was with my 2 best buds and he got some tabs. It wasn't a bad trip but a weird one, it's confusing. I knew I was high but at some point things went to another level. Next thing I know my family and friends were right next to me laughing saying you will know more about this soon. I was only with my cousin and buddy though. They said I was just zoned out staring at the Xmas tree. I swear I went to the bathroom but I could see myself in third person time skipping back to the couch. Seemed so real and weird they way everyone I was seeing was having real conversations to me
This was amazing. If you enjoy concepts like this, I would recommend reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books. The entire series plays with ideas like this, and is written in a very fun and original way. Douglas Adams himself would almost certainly approve of this video.
@@leightnite3056 No problem, but I'd prefer to eat at The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. They say it's Mostly Harmless but I'd say it's more impressive than Life, The Universe, and Everything. 42!!!!
Nothing compares to this channel and i mean none, no channels no TV shows, nothing. I adore the way he explains everything without staying to long explainations or briefs, he keeps it simple and with a phased calm voice to the end. ❤
Your videos are incredible. The way you weave in the stories of those people involved in each discovery. The music. Even your voice and intonation. Chef's kiss.
Yet we are the ones who have made this. Something that breaks us trying understand yet it came from a mind sane man. All I can say is Do not fear the monster in the book but the author made the monster for that is only a spec of their twisted creations.
That makes so much since. If these eldritch beings from before the universe were infinitely large, but capable of appearing to occupy only the space of an oceanside, they would definitely drive anyone who just saw them insane. Like, for a moment just try to visualize something that is infinite in size but inhabiting a finite space. Crazy.
Far and away my favourite channel on TH-cam. I love receiving notifications for your new vids. Always wonderfully researched, structured and narrated. Thank you for what you do.
This channel blows my mind, especailly when I'm right on the edge of sleep. There's something about that state that opens up a new dimension in my feeble mind that I can't access otherwise.
I love this kind of video, it's calming, fascating and ignites my 56 year old imagination. Also at the same time makes me feel pointless in my efforts, small in my importance and also reminds me that I am nothing more than energy and atoms I'm therefore part of the infinite existence of everything.
Same thought. First had it while young. Time is infinite in both directions. Space is infinite in all directions. We are absolutely nothing and everything is pointless.
@Chris Anderson thank you Chris I'm a bit of a philosopher but not negative in my realisation of who I am. 😁 I sometimes like to be reminded of my place in the existence of,... Well everything. Stops me getting too self important.
@@phoenixjim0527 infinty does not exist. If it does that means everything is possible right? Then there should be someone capable of destroying all existence no matter how absurd it is it is less than infinity but we do exist so its impossible that means there’s a limit on what could happen. Or maybe you cant destroy infinity with a smaller one? I dont even know what am saying at this point am just going to sleep now lmao
But there you are significant enough to write this. The more I understand the vastness of the universe and infinity I stopped feeling small but also important. Probably many like us exists but not in our life time. So I’m out universe as vast as it is we’re unique.
That part about the fractals made on the computer and how you can keep zooming in brought up a great memory. So in 1994 I was draftsman for Nabisco, mostly on the board but computers were coming into age and I would occasionally do work on autocad and I realized that you could zoom in on a drawing infinitely. So I thought I would make a romantic gesture to my office fling, which would have been frowned on at work. I miss being young and handsome? Now I'm old and farty. Anyways I showed a copy of some work I had turned in too her. She said so what and I said come check this out. I brought the drawing up on computer and said look at that dot, now zoom in on it. Well we zoomed and zoomed and it still was just a point, but it can be infinite in these drawings so at some point that dot began to read the words "Todd loves Angie ........". It's part of Nabisco's catalogue of final prints.
@Lil Yeet I know exactly what hes talking about... Im certified in autoCAD, im just curious how Nabisco has anything to do with drafting- like the company's building???
One of my earliest memories is arriving logically at the frontier with the infinite. I was playing in the living room of my childhood home one summer afternoon and I remember having just watched some astronomy documentary on TV with my dad the night before. I was constructing a model of the universe based on what I had seen, starting with my local position on a planet orbiting a sun, sun orbiting a galaxy, and then as they say, the galaxies disperse and the universes expands. I arrived at some primitive notion of a ball getting bigger but understood that the universe seemed to be all there could be, and that for there to be a boundary, you needed a contrasting 'not-being' that defines the boundary to 'being', and the inevitable "What Is Beyond The Edge?(!)". I was scrambling to imagine a boundary to 'not-being' beyond the on to 'being' in order to 'capture' totality, but boom... It was a peak experience, I felt hyper perceptive and suddenly aware of the truly mysterious state that I found myself in as a human child. I often say it felt like all of my guts where falling out of my, kind of like looking up at an impossibly large object, or down from a height, like tingly gonads and butterflies in my belly. A defining moment for sure. Anyway, I just wanted to share this article I found a while ago, it's from 1990, fully sourced with notes etc. Basically, it gives a really strong argument for the Big Bang hypothesis being based on a misinterpretation due to fundamental assumptions that have been experimentally and observationally disproven. Given the alarming rates of megalomania and utterly petty and vicious personal attacks these neurotics rail against each other just for having differing opinions! Really, I think academia, specifically the physical sciences, are totally ridden with this. Additionally, when you understand how one culture's breakthroughs can become the foundational assumptions of subsequent cultures, and how early Greek thought undermines all of western intellectual pursuit, I reckon they probably just inherited that queasiness about something that can't be contained within the rational or imaginative faculties. I guess it sucks to know you can never know....
This phenomenon has many names thay i dont remember. It has a name in psycology. And other in phylosophy. The phylosophy one perfectly descrives the sense of "being nothing" not in the sense of not actually being nothing but of realizing how small you are.
The big ban is reassuring because it defies very horrible things, probably it replaced some other higgs field and replaced it with the stable one we live in, otherwise if it didn’t ehm, nice knowing you because we might already be gone according to the new science. Seriously tho, we might never know or we might find something we don’t want (as we kinda have if you know what I’m talking about, but for all it is the Big Bang theory is the best and most “proven” theory we have,) the only problem is it doesn’t account for smaller things then mass
I am watching a lot of your videos and this one really shines on the most difficult topic. Very well done, from the difficult explanations of different sizes of infinities, which is already a hard thing to understand, to the philosophical ending, which is impossible to understand for us limited humans. Thank you so much.
I first questioned the reality of infinity when I was around 9. Amazement was followed by question and then headaches and nausea. I could not sleep right for a week before I simply had to acknowledge it was beyond my understanding.
I understand what Mr Padilla meant about his quote. Only so much a human mind can take, I work hard, but even harder. I was a bookkeeper full time and went to college full time. Looking after Fishermans finances. Juggling with family. dreaming about numbers surrounded by numbers, haunted about numbers. I got so overwhelmed man my mind imploded, re-wired I went crazy.
Yeah mr padilla wasn't speaking metaphorically. If you would hold that amount of information in a space the size of a brain, it would literally physically implode into a black hole
Even trying to conceptualise or reconcile infinity is mind bogglingly difficult. I found it helpful to forget number, size or counting of any kind and simply visualise it and its concept both philosophically and logically. Gotta say though, it's taken over 40 years of thinking about it to come up with a personal visualisation that I feel satisfied with. 👍 It's been worth it though! 😊♾️
Nicely mind-bending mix of concepts and graphics. Felt like I'd had a puff at times! Beautifully done. Feel like I need to watch some sci-fi now! Also, as an aside, the Boltzman Brain conclusions are remarkably close to Hindu Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
Every single video that has been made from this channel has been brilliant! There's no other channel on TH-cam that produces videos like the ones here!
I truly LOVE the paradox of Infinity as a mathematical and tangible term/object. It's about the closest thing to seriously debating theology I will ever get since there is no way to talk about infinity in depth and not start touching on the realms of what seems like magic or spiritualism to the human brain; that is how complex the concept really is. I also love illustrating how number sets are all equal when viewed as infinite, and how infinity by nature is both static and dynamic in its term depending on how you use it when treating it like an object.
Still amazed at the quality of these videos every time a new one releases. So glad this channel exists, to scratch that space documentary itch that was left unscratched when discovery decided to become a reality show tv channel.
I used to think about this subject a lot when I was a child and by the time I turned eight my father cautioned me that many people throughout history had gone stark raving mad overthinking this very subject.
I've overthought about religion, the universe, and anything life related since 2019. People who go mad from what they learn are people who can't handle what they discover. Personally I've found that learning as much as i have has helped me realize how poorly our society has been constructed, how we do nothing to fix it. Helped me to realize that God , and my spirit, were nothing I thought they were. At the end of the day, when you die, at the very least you won't be you. You wont care because you're not in your body with the name you were given anymore. None of that matters. And most people don't wanna hear that.
@@AveryFelts In contrast, I find the idea of that absolutely liberating. I'm starving for something more to existence than just...*this.* I enjoy my time here as much as I can, but my mind swims with possibilities in an abstract ocean and I crave, more than any physical sensation, whatever is waiting beyond that final door of death. It might be nothing, and if it is then it won't matter. But on the chance that it's not just nothing, my God...I want to know. I'll get there eventually, either through old age or something else that steals this life away from me, but I'm not afraid to meet it. I want to find out what's waiting for us all.
Just because some folks didn’t have the mental fortitude to look at these issues doesn’t mean that you will go raving mad. If you study the lives of these people, many, if not all of them, were basket cases to begin with. I just love it when some young guy reads the likes of Lovecraft or other unstable incels and somehow think that their take on reality is a fact and how to react to it is the way to go.
It’s a fair warning from your dad. Humans struggle to comprehend how infinity might be possible because human life is finite. But perhaps if we have immortal souls that transcend death we will eventually understand this from another perspective. Or simply learn to live with contradiction.
Genious. The music, soundtracks, voice and narrative are just amazing. I am a physicist and what amazes me more of this fantastic channel is the Production and Direction of the whole video. Big comgrats, such videos like this make science a pleasure.
The universe is infinite, information has always existed with no beginning and it will always exist without end, information can only be transformed. The eternal information of reality/existence is sentient. That sentience is God. You are made out of God's essence and you currently live in God's infinite being. Your life is not meaningless because in an infinite universe in an infinite reality, all things infinitely matter to one who is infinitely empathetic and infinitely good.
@@shaydorahl6740 You have provided no ground for speculating that this purported eternal information is sentient, let alone interconnected across these infinities in such a way that it would be meaningful to talk about one infinite God. Case in point, this very infinity _denies_ the possible existence of any kind of oneness, let alone a sentient one. It was a mistake to assume that because everything that can happen will happen, it somehow means that everything can happen, period. It's entirely possible and plausible that just as there are infinite possibilities in an infinite cosmos, there could also be infinite impossibilities. What then determines this God concept of yours to be either possible or impossible? What hint can you find to make that inference that there is an infinite being, let alone an infinite God?
I look forward to new lessons. Yes, lessons. Many times, this video being one such time, I come away from them with a headache. At my age, mid-70’s, exercising my mind trying to get my brain around your work is worth all the time, and aspirins, that that takes. Thank you for all your efforts. Please do not stop. I’ll let you know when I have learned everything there is to learn.
My friend, you will not live long enough for that; however I salute your optimism. I am 80 plus, and each day brings me closer to the brink of oblivion or eternal life, albeit, as a speck of stardust.
I'm happy to have found your channel! Science is my primary interest and the majority or my time online is ticked away watching cosmology and physics documentaries. As you can imagine, I'm starting to run out of documentaries I haven't already seen! So your channel is a godsend
Discovering this channel feels like winning the lottery. Thank you very much for this. Great content, beautiful visualisations and absolutely amazing voice!
You took a lot of nearly incomprehensible theories I've been trying to wrap my head around for years, and just fit it into my head like so much well behaved luggage lol. This video blew my mind so many times in an hour I had to change my hat afterword.
Leila has written a beautifully provoking journey into the unknowns , adding details which allow even my untrained mind to glimpse some of the maddening warps cosmological mathematicians must wrestle with ❤.
Yet another amazing contribution to What We Know, encapsulating hard-to-grasp contents with state-of-the-art visuals and helping humans to understand what's the world they are living in. One of the best channels talking about astrophysics science out there. Congratulation and many hoorays for everything you do. You're good guys and didn't forget the face of your fathers.
Thanks Edgar, but there are people who can describe in great detail what happened while they were completely dead for some time and conversations on multiple accounts. Your brain expelling those chemicals in desperation just doesn't explain those situations where people are able to do that after there is no activity in the brain and coming out of their body. We still don't fully know what happens after.
@@Jasminesenergy How long have those people been "dead"? Unless it's months or years I don't see your point. That aside, do you also believe the fully detailed reports of people abducted by aliens?
I remember one of my calculus professors summed up the different sizes of infinity by saying something like 'countable numbers infinity is infinite in one direction since you start at 1 and keep going up, infinity between 0 and 1 is infinite in both directions since you would put an infinite number of zeroes after the decimal before you even start counting'
@@mina86 "countable" is literally one of the adjectives used to describe the types of infinity. You're just showing you never did advanced math classes
Woooohoooo!!! Kelly brothers are in overdrive, better cancel ALL my weekend plans! Thank you so much for keeping our brains in good shape and hearts in right place❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad you made a video about this. It’s something that’s on my mind a lot. It’s so weird to me that we’re all the way out here in the middle of nowhere. A bottomless pit. An abyss. You’d think it’d be brought up more often. How did we come to be here, drifting through the infinite?
Right. We all go about our daily lives like everything is fine when in reality we’re flying through infinity with no clear idea as to why we exist. Trippy.
Thumbs up on the videos sponsor. I’ve found it really useful and I think it does a great job of just saying, “this is left,” and “this is right,” without weighing in on what is “good.” They do have factuality scores they incorporate from external vendors, but that is for publications as a whole, and not individual news stories. I feel it’s the best solution to those looking to spot and account for agendas and bias, no matter its source.
I loved thinking about infinities as a kid. I think it's unhelpful though to call infinity a number in any sense. Rather it's a function, or much rather a range of functions, used like numbers. I feel when looking at the quantisation of infinities they become incompatible with finite quantisation. When comparing the length of y=x^2 to y=2x for instance it ignores what is definable. These are not free infinites. They are constrained. When questioning whether the universe is infinite you are not dealing with a yes or no. If it were a free infinity consistency enough to define physics even in a pocket seems unlikely. So if the universe is infinite, but constrained, what is the function of that constraint? What, despite it being infinite, is excluded? If it is finite and our universe defines space/time completely is this the only place that a universe can exist because this is the only place that has existence of 'place'? If matters of physics break down at a definition of before or beyond the universe (finite or some function of infinite) it may become less of a measurement and more of defining whether the function that defines constraint of our existence and the function that defines existence of 'beyond' has points of intersection or not, but that maybe more mathematical than sensical. I admit I'm not a mathematician or physicist, just a preschool teacher, so I maybe babbling but I do find it fun to think about.
yeah its pretty much how you wana think when dealing with topics like this come to think about it word infinitive could be something actually far more simple than we imagined say a self creating loop that has a creator which depending on either it pleases to stop or not the loop either goes on or it gets destroyed the loop itself can create an illusion theres no end to it but in reality if you just cut the source of creation of it it will end simple as that however if you dont it just goes on depending on the command of the creator. Imagine counting 1,2,3,4,5......... every time you make a count you either remember a bigger number or if you dont know such you make one up think about it whats the real reason numbers get bigger? is it the fact that they existed beforehand or the fact that you remembered the next bigger value or made them up or perhaps that the numbers already existed beforehand to the point where they can never stop growing? obviously the second because they cant really exist if you havent made them up yet which means infinity in this case is nothing more than just repeating actions in your own mind,sure its possible to go on for a very long time but there is most definitely a limit to that meaning no matter how much you count those numbers there WILL be a point you will stop and that point is the point this infinity in this case ends of course someone can start from where you left but even in this case there will be an ending point to where he can no longer count more numbers(either coz he would die or get bored), do note it would get EXTREMELY hard to calculate the point from which those numbers could end so thats why its simplier to mark them as never ending rather than assigning an exact point at which they can no longer be imagined any further by say any human being thats capable of making more of them up
Dude. What’s up? Haha. I quite enjoyed your comment. Never thought about it as a function. I like that! Also the : “you’re not dealing with a yes or no.” 😀Truth is, we don’t have any concrete measure of time. A new method was just discovered, involving Rydberg wave packets!! So will see what that yields. But we know that space/time is affected by forces of gravity. Also a new discovery is the emergence of matter from light. Beyond all this, there’s probably either more to physics, iterations, or just completely different things. Perhaps it’s not infinity contained. But finity within eternity/infinite.
@@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341 words like “repeat” & “point” seem to allude to a linearity. It would be a fallacy to assume such coherent order, just because we understand things in a certain way, only means that’s how we are able.
@@blackcatlullaby you are overcomplicating for no reason i was just giving out an example for why the word infinity is nothing more than oversimplification to an actually rather complicated thing and why it is possible to understand it P. S-i am shocked you guys read thar i was drunk when i wrote it and its a very messy and long text
I often stand outside on a clear night, stare into the sky and wonder just how far it goes. It's a question that has occasionally inspired me to Google for the answer, knowing full well that there isn't one. I've tried to come up with simple ideas, such as that at some distance from earth there's a wall - that we're essentially living inside a large sphere. However, if that was the case then there'd be something on the other side of that wall and then how far would that go? Our minds can grasp the concept of infinite numbers, because it's something which is tangible - you can write them on a piece of paper or print them out. If you had enough paper and enough time you could see some pretty big numbers, but you'd still never see the 'end'. The numbers would just keep getting larger. Even so, that's something we can appreciate. The trouble with trying to grasp the concept of what is beyond this universe is we have nothing to write down or print out - there is no way to represent it in our mind.
You should read Hawking's Brief History. It goes into this. He reckoned space has boundaries without edges, that time and space curve back on themselves. If you think about that famous "skein" of time-space, imagine that it is the inside surface of a ball. As we travel through spacetime we are permanently on the boundary, travelling across it.
I myself, have done the same action of looking up at the night sky on a clear night. It just boggles the mind. I always end up feeling infinitesimally small and having a sore neck. I have also questioned the same about the edge of the universe, if there is one, and what lies beyond it. These things seem to be incomprehensible and unanswerable in the rational mind of us miniscule humans. I can imagine that letting these questions totally consume you could lead to madness, as in the case of Cantor.
@@jerryrichmond4707 I had to stop considering it because it was doing my head in. I cannot comprehend that "out there" just goes on forever, just as I can't comprehend that it stops somewhere. The Necromundan suggested looking at Hawking's idea that space has boundaries without edges, and that time and space curve back on themselves. This brings a whole new dimension in - that time is involved, which further complicates things.
If I said nothingness can exist, it sounds crazy; mystical, biblical. We literally live in an existence where there is nothingness. We call it "space". There is "matter", "protons", and "nothing". There is no edge to the universe. There is a finite amount of "something" that drifts in an endless amount of "nothing". We live in a literal endless pit of "nothing" with groupings of "something". The only real edge is the limit matter and protons have reached into the nothing.
Ever since the end of Men In Black, when the aliens are playing marbles with the Milky Way galaxy, my mind has been blown by the whole concept of "beyond what we can ever possibly perceive."

One of the most interesting things about this video, is how fundamentally frightened many people are of a limitless universe. So much so that after failing to prove a finite size, the consensus is to rely on a "scientific" cope that says "an infinite universe doesn't matter since we can't measure it, so we'll just pretend it's not there and try not to talk about it."
The main problem for most people is that they are invested in a lifetime of cultural ideas that are not conducive to genuine understanding.. A quick read of the comments shows that most people cannot discern truth, and there is no mention anywhere of necessity, which is where people have to begin..
I really enjoyed this as I've been interested in space, physics, and math since I was a kid. When I first realized that some of those points of light were not single stars, but other galaxies, I had my Wow moment. As Spock would say, "Fascinating'
Here's my take on this topic. Theres basically two possible scenarios when it comes to the universe. One, there IS an end somewhere, where there is no more matter at all, no stars, no planets, NOTHING, not even atoms, just an expanse of pure nothingness. OR two, there ISNT an end to the universe, it just somehow goes on for infinity. Either scenario is incredibly mindblowing.
Hotu and coolworlds are the best science channels on all of TH-cam. I have only just discovered this channel but I have started binge watching. Haha. I love any and all things physics, astrophysics and quantum physics. Keep the amazing videos coming and thank you!
When I see the title "the horrors of infinite cosmos", I am surprised how different people's feelings may be. It is rather the opposite namely the possibility of a finite universe that invoke feelings of discomfort in me. Knowing that there is no end to space and no end to time would be the most comforting feeling for me.
You should even with a finite universe feel glad that you exist and might exist again and again if the universe dies out and then explodes with a new big bang over and over again. This life might be just 1 in an infinite amount that are all infinitely different. The universes size could be finite but still repeat. We are all one at the end of the day, everyone a part of the universe

Nothingness would expand into infinity. Nothingness (0) doesn't represent a permanent location. Therefore, that could become (+0.0-0.0) x (6 or n). In that case, the size of the universe could become 0 to 0.0. But according to my calculation, the universe converted from 0 to 0.00000 with a mathematical relationship, making the elementary particles, forces, etc. In that case, the size of the universe initial universe was +0.00000-0.00000, and the infinity in the universe was located between +0.00000 and -0.00000. But the universe could continue at the edge (at +0.00000 and -0.00000), making more and more dimensions. The absolute time must continue if there is something (time) even if there is nothing (not even space). And that is why the relative time emerged. Relativeness of the time dimensions is the energy (the universe). The relative time doesn't stop the absolute time in any case. But the relative time can stop relatively. Many directional moments at a moment can make the entire universe while increasing the moments with the expansion of the universe. So the universe is growing making directional moments. Best of luck.

This is great, but i Believe that the infinite void is only truly converted by something I e actual Materiality existeance levels that encompass all actual consciousness dimensions. The void space to Materiality conversion processes have to interact with ‘pure void’ because in its own eternality it predates in ways even the existence of God and God forms. Thus it can only be re identified to any form by the highest Materiality frequency intensity available creation wide, then void integration with dimensions substance begins, thus ‘the best’ is sent to convert ‘the most difficult’ do you find that this makes ‘ structural sense’?

Cosmology and Physics are my favourite fields of learning. I am in my late 60s but still full of curiosity and wonder. This channel has long been and still remains one of my favourites. There was no such thing as the internet when I grew up and was in my 30s before I got my first computer and I believe this fact allows me to appreciate the current information age so much more than people who have never known anything else. The fact that a working-class guy like myself has all this knowledge and learning, not to mention art and culture at my fingertips, a mouse click away still excites and amazes me. The nearest thing to today,s communication network was the Starship Enterprise and its gadgets! I never imagined back then that such wonders would become easily available!

I can remember when the old-fashioned flip phone came along. Everyone who pulled one out in front of his friends felt compelled to say “Beam me up, Scotty. This planet sucks.”
From one Steve also in his late 60s to another, that's exactly how I feel. How things have changed since we were kids. I remember about 20 years ago, I saw the James Cameron documentary called "Aliens of the Deep". It's a fantastic doco. Anyway, JPL- NASA Astrobiologist and Mineralogist Pamela Conrad (now 69 years old) was in a deep submersible submarine testing out a life-detecting laser which would be used on the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity and Perseverance. She made a remark that would be lost on most people. She's testing this laser in a submarine at maybe 1000 meters depth, and having a great time and laughing her head off she says "This is way better than the cardboard box". It immediately reminded me when I was a kid and we would play inside refrigerator sized cardboard boxes. With sticks, tape and marker pens we'd make them into submarines, planes, boats, spaceships etc. and we'd have a grand old time playing and using our imagination. It was so much fun. I think that's what she was talking about, and probably blown away that she finally made it into the real thing.
Kids don't do that today, because now they have computers and a whole range of virtual worlds to get lost in. Sure, they're great, but I still have fond memories of the cardboard box submarines and spaceships. And we had the fantastic experience of watching the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs landing men on the Moon. Wow! Those were the days. I'll bet you're looking forward to our return to the Moon, and like me, enthralled by Spacex, and probably hoping that we live long enough to see humans walking on Mars.
"May the Force be with you, Steve!" 🚀
11 years ago before podcasts were as big as they are now, I was deployed in the mountains of Afghanistan and the only connection to the outside world was what we had saved on hard drives. No phone, no internet, just two way radio and paper mail. I had an hour~ long audio recording ripped from a CD that was all about infinity (which I have unfortunately lost the name to)- this video was the first thing I've heard since then that has combined the human and scientific aspects of this subject in a way that was able to stir up the feelings that my original recording was able to do over a decade ago. Thank you.
hell yeah
did you ever encounter any paranormal situations while deployed in Afghanistan? Did you know anyone at OP rock? Sorry to bother you, just curious.
My father served combat in WW2. While in the foxholes, Readers Digest magazines would be passed around to everyone.
@@jamiebarr3118 I wasn't at nor know anything about OP rock, but I was in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2011 and again in 2013 to 2014 in Kandahar and we actually did have a strange encounter. We were making our way across the open desert in our strykers ( was with 2CR at the time) and we saw a large, glowing "sphere" that had bright orange light emanating from it. It was maybe 30 to 40 feet above the ground and went east to west at a pace I'd estimate to be at about 5 mph. The entire platoon saw it. We radioed it up to x-ray (HQ) and our MI guy put it into the debrief. Apparently the unit that owned the battlespace west of us saw it too and experienced the same thing. Have no clue what the hell it was. Not saying it was a UFO, but it damn sure wasn't anything anyone had ever seen before. There was a weird "statically" feeling in the air as it passed. I'll never forget that night. Very strange.
@@ericthiel4053 Wow! Thank you heaps for sharing, that sounds very interesting and bizarre at the same time. The sensation of static in the air is particularly unusual and I can only imagine what that would feel like.

If it helps shed some context on the immensity of TREE(3), check out the wikipedia page for Graham's number. For years, Graham's number was the largest number used in a published mathematical proof. Special notation has to be used, just to apply the most naive "understanding/extrapolation" of it (I think it's called Knutt's UPArrow notation)....anyway, if you can wrap your head around how inconceivable Graham's number is, and then accept that it's dwarfed into nothingness by TREE(3) you may like where you're at. The wikipedia page for Graham's number is heady, but at least somewhat understandable....

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Insignificant maybe, but mostly modest and humble which apparently is not the case after reading the comments.

Understanding infinity isn't difficult.
It just takes forever.
It wont help me make shit tons of money either.
Mathematically it also requires that you be able to observe a larger infinity than the infinity you hope to understand, and how do you ever know you are the largest infinity? If your capacity to observe the space of the universe is the speed of light, and the entire universe is infinitely large and is expanding at some constant rate that isn't infinitesimal; then a point in space at some distance away from you (not even infinitely far away from you, at a distance that is calculatable based on the speed of universe expansion) is moving away from you faster than you can ever hope to approach it or even see it. You can thus have an infinite area of space to observe, but can never observe or interact outside of a specific bubble of infinite space.
There could be an infinite number of these bubbles of infinity within a bigger space, and only an entity larger than the infinity that divides these bubbles could observe both of these bubbles unless they can interact.
@@dezvul4817 Observing an infinity requires you to be outside of it. Which would seem counterintuitive at best.

When Hubble took that image, surprising me that it wasn't just a black patch of sky but revealing all those very distant galaxies filled my mind with astonished wonder, overcoming my fear.
For me it's not comprehending the vastness that is scary, it's contemplating the violence of the event horizon of a Black Hole; the maelstrom of the accretion disk is like a seemingly never ending giant tornado or hurricane. Another scary contemplation is the extreme/hard X-ray radiation emanating from neutron stars, that could kill an exposed person in seconds.
I was sitting in my garden one evening. I noticed an ant walking along oblivious to the sentient being watching her. I lowered my hand and let her crawl onto my finger. As she weaved around my fingers with no discernible concern...I thought about her observable universe. I smiled ever so slightly before lowering my hand to allow her to scurry off. She will live and die...her entire observable Universe in my backyard...oblivious of her abduction, unaware of the stars, ignorant of the cell phone in my pocket...that the hand that just held her is typing this very comment...in a language she will never know...to communicate via light, to a species she cannot fathom. Humans are spectacular...but ultimately ants in the backyard of their Observable Universe.

For me, it’s trying to imagine something that never ends. Everything we know of has an end. End of a road, end of a track, end of life. If there’s a wall, there must be something behind it. If the universe never ends, where is it contained? Just thinking what the universe is just gives me a panic attack 😂
I do think one can go mad trying to fully comprehend infinity, if that’s even possible, which I doubt. This is the reason I had to give up chess. Once I got decent at it all I could see where seemingly more possibilities but a slowing of actual action. To be a grandmaster might well be accepting a life of madness in which all that really matters is chess. Is such a life worthwhile?
Ends really are just a human construct.
We must Take caution to not Impose Things from one category on another one.
To see what i mean, consider this seemingly simple Question, of which i think, that it resembles the Question about the universe.
The Question is: If anything in Time has a beginning and end, when did time itself began and when will it end?
For you must See, that all Relation is relative to a underlying Thing. It seems to be needed, that a Last one must be there, for Else it would go into Infinity. But maybe this is the only possible conclusion. That the ultimate is Infinite and thereby nothing in Relation to it and anything.
In talking about time, it would amount to the Thing called 'now'.
Maybe this is, what is meant, when it says 'to know, that you dont know.' For it is possible to know, that the ultimate cannot be known, Just by understanding the simultanious necessity and Impossibility of it. It cannot be spoken of this.
To understand this might be wisdom. To Not do so, maybe the path to insanity.

@@thecook8964 please ask me all Questions you have, for that nothing May be Hidden for both of us.

You can think of it more easily by Just recognising the logical structure. Anything worthwile must be desireable. But all that is ultimatey Desired is happiness. Therefore, all Action and pursuit of happiness, that fails do to delusion and Error, cant be called worthwile, for this is never desired, but rather despised.

Oddly, I never get a sense of existential dread from videos like this, instead they are strangely freeing. I feel happier after watching them, knowing there is so much to learn, so much more than I can in this life, but an immense universe (or multiverse!) full of mysteries to attempt to understand.
Agreed. That symbol systems may have limits or may be wrong should not really be a surprise anyway. If that happens it will mean more things to learn and many more mysteries to explore.
I am the same. It's like people's struggle with the no information theorem and free will. An infinite universe makes every decision we make arbitrary, but damn it's good to be able to experience the ride.
At the other side of an existential crisis is a sort of bliss. Thinking of things like this and even stuff like lack of free will or nihilism actually give me a real sense of higher purpose. I’m aware not everyone is like this

Underrated comment.
The fact that 'Something' ' exists rather than 'Nothing', means there cannot be a boundary of 'Nothing'. Hence time and space are infinite. Everything exists and all at once and infinitely.
Indeed, it seems to me that if absolute nothing were to exist beside something, then it would contradict itself faster than both existence or nonexistence.
The universe operates on the principle of non-contradiction, which is the reason for "reason", study, rationality, and intelligence itself.
In the same vein, will is required to create will, and intelligence is required to create intelligence.
As it would be ridiculous to claim that order is an extension of chaos, as chaos itself cannot fundamentally exist - except as a limitation of the observer.
It's inconvenient for many, but that we exist at all is an irrefutable argument for intelligent design.
From the beginning of my becoming conscious
every one of my thoughts has been about something.
Thus when I try to imagine absolute nothing
I find I can do it only when I am not conscious.
Curiously, when my self is not conscious,
it seems to my self that my self is non existent.
The seeming is not over the duration of my non existence, of course,
for then there is only absolute nothing,
but only when my self is conscious, existent and
reflecting on the experiential gap in my memory and
the contrast between the state of the world before and after.
I think the fact that
my self exists only when my self is conscious and
my self is conscious only when my self exists,
renders the phrase 'conscious self' something like redundant.
('Self conscious' on the other hand,
is simply my self being conscious of my self's existence,
my self as just another thing of which my self can be conscious).
When I try to imagine the infinite I fail and
I think this is because no matter how much I imagine
there is an infinite amount remaining to be included
(and my thinking is a process}.
You exist for such a brief period of time, claiming you know something about this place is bravado.
The edge of the universe, if we can call it an edge, is the boundary where reality ends.
@piterpraker3399 Have you not heard of emergent properties before? Something can gain new properties that its constituent parts did not have. "Wetness" is an emergent propert for example. Intelligence and will are just emergent properties of the brain which is made of matter.
If you needed will or intelligence to come from previous will or intelligence you'd have an infinite regress, or you'd have to draw an arbitrary line at "god", without even proving that as a possibility in the first place.
Intelligent design is not a coherent theory that matches reality, it's trying to fit reality to match religion. It's the opposite of science where you start with a conclusion and to find evidence to support it.
So again, have you not heard of emergent properties?
And, before positing religion or supernatural things as explanations, remember that that doesn't answer anything as none of that has been proven before. It's offering a solution to a problem when the solution itself is a problem.
This channel is one of the best. Extremely detailed information about the latest findings of science. No nonsense, the presentation flows flawlessly!

I don't understand the trees and branches and seeds. In the demonstration he has 6 branches coming off of one seed. Why couldn't they do 4 branches off of 1 seed for "tree 2"?
It's a combination of factors. In the list of trees, the n'th tree cannot have more than 1 node. So the first tree can have only 1 node. That means that if any tree after that first tree has a node with the same colour as the first tree (green), then it contains the first tree as a subtree, and would therefore be illegal. So any trees after the first must be another colour. And since we are talking about Tree(2), then we only have 2 colours, so all subsequent trees must be the same colour (red). Since the second tree can have maximum of 2 nodes, we have a choice of having either 1 or 2 red nodes in that tree. If we choose 1 ree node, then every tree after that would be illegal, because it would either contain the first tree or the second tree as a subtree. If we choose 2 trees, them they must be connected, and so any subsequent trees that contain 2 connected red nodes would be illegal. So the only legal 3rd tree would be a single red node, and after that all trees are illegal. So Tree(2) is 3, since it is the length of the largest series of trees of 2 colours that follow those rules. If you had a tree that branched out into many branches, it would either have too many nodes for its place in the list, or contain a previous tree as a subtree.
Sorry for the typos, I wrote it on a mobile phone in a train, I hope it still makes sense. Just substitute red for ree, and nodes for trees in the right places :)
I love how you introduced the idea of tribesmen and then moved on to explain some things but later on when you ask a new question you brought the tribesmen back and it made comprehending the next point much easier. Love your story telling.

The Boltzmann Brain concept is something I used to think about when I would try and grapple with concepts like life after death or death being the end of existence, and still remains probably my greatest fear
When you’re awake time is linear. When you’re asleep time is non-linear and bi-directional.
When you’re unconscious you have no way of knowing how much time has passed when you awaken (after surgery / general anaesthetic).
I think the Universe replays itself, the craziest thing is we can never prove that, and no matter how unlikely it is everything runs the same way, we end up on Earth again…It’s like nature has found a solution to a problem it set itself the only variables are what we do with our lives and next time, and the time after that etc…
Take it easy bud👍
The Boltzmann Brain concept, is most horrifying thing I have ever heard or read about. The amount of anxiety that idea gives me it is unbelievable. Every time I hear that or read that, my anxiety and existential crisis goes through this roof. Even before I had ever heard about this Boltzmann Brain thing, I had fear that what if I am really the only living thing and everything else is just my minds imagination. So when I heard about Boltzmann Brain, you can imagine what that did to me.
@@kas90500 Its Easter time..Believe in the ressurection! He died for you and rose again. Come to Jesus and find clarity and peace, not confusion and anxiety. Believe and you will see..it never works the other way around. Have you ever asked yourself why people are so sure about Jesus and there faith can't be shaken. Its because they believed by faith and took a leap. Once you have an encounter with God you will be changed forever and you will know everything is real and the Bible is true. What do you have to lose except for a life of anxiousness and stress..He is coming, come in when you can...
To look at it from an optimistic point of view, does the concept of "death" even really exist in an infinite universe? If by sheer statistical eventuality did particles contrive a human brain with a specific set of memories and perspective, then within infinite space-time, it _must_ do it again, in the exact same manner. Your heart can stop beating, your neurons can stop firing, but "you," quite literally, _will_ live again.
... Scratch the optimistic part. I'm feeling dizzy.
@@sharkodile22 This thought is especially interesting to me because it makes another question arise: In an infinite universe, *you* will exist anytime anywhere. The *you* you are now might die this moment but an infinite amount of the exact same versions of you would still be around somewhere else so what is it really that makes you different from them (if there even is a difference) and what makes *you* really you?
Fascinating, well written and narrated. I think that the best scientists are those that have vivid imaginations as well as strong scientific abilities. Curiosity starts with "Why?" and " What if?". I really wish I had been better and more confident in mathematics when I was younger, and would have loved to have taken my interests in the sciences much further, but despite that I always try to learn something new every day. I call it "joining all the dots", because eventually you get to see the bigger picture, how different subjects are interconnected. We are often limited by the biases of the time in which we live, constrained by circumstances beyond our control, but so long as we keep being curious we will get there.
But in the modern world if you question the “science” you are called a denier or a racist for some reason.

This provokes so much thought. Yet, despite always processing such things in the back of my mind, after watching this one I'm reconsidering that life might not be understandable, but can only be experienced (in our own limited way). Some very interesting comments here too, crikey, wish some of these folks were my friends. It would be delightful to speculate with them!
well i dont like this experience where do i send the complaint cuz i want my money back
I actually came to a very same conclusion on a very heavily dosed trip , why are we alive ? - To experience and hence live
I have taken acid multiple times and always laughed and had a good time. New years like 5 years ago I was with my 2 best buds and he got some tabs. It wasn't a bad trip but a weird one, it's confusing. I knew I was high but at some point things went to another level. Next thing I know my family and friends were right next to me laughing saying you will know more about this soon. I was only with my cousin and buddy though. They said I was just zoned out staring at the Xmas tree. I swear I went to the bathroom but I could see myself in third person time skipping back to the couch. Seemed so real and weird they way everyone I was seeing was having real conversations to me
I would like to emphasize that thanks to the Internet we are able to become friends and speculate to our heart's content
You might want to read (or watch videos) about the concept of "Qualia", so much food for thought and interesting thought experiments.
Imagine being so immersed in mathematics that the concept of infinity causes a mental breakdown.

That's crazy!
Not only that, the concept of an irrational number that you couldn’t even express as a fraction of two rational numbers
Why would I want to imagine that? I have a mental breakdown if I accidentally spill my coffee on the floor

This was amazing. If you enjoy concepts like this, I would recommend reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books. The entire series plays with ideas like this, and is written in a very fun and original way. Douglas Adams himself would almost certainly approve of this video.

Your videos are incredible. The way you weave in the stories of those people involved in each discovery. The music. Even your voice and intonation. Chef's kiss.
As it turns out, Infinity is the very essence of Lovecraft's stories - actually capable of driving mad anyone who delves too deep.
It lies insanity or enlightenment in the comprehension of infinity 😅 maybe only insanity but who knows
Yet we are the ones who have made this. Something that breaks us trying understand yet it came from a mind sane man. All I can say is
Do not fear the monster in the book but the author made the monster for that is only a spec of their twisted creations.
Embrace a little madness, it might just be kinda fun.
That makes so much since. If these eldritch beings from before the universe were infinitely large, but capable of appearing to occupy only the space of an oceanside, they would definitely drive anyone who just saw them insane. Like, for a moment just try to visualize something that is infinite in size but inhabiting a finite space. Crazy.

I love this kind of video, it's calming, fascating and ignites my 56 year old imagination. Also at the same time makes me feel pointless in my efforts, small in my importance and also reminds me that I am nothing more than energy and atoms I'm therefore part of the infinite existence of everything.
Same thought. First had it while young.
Time is infinite in both directions.
Space is infinite in all directions.
We are absolutely nothing and everything is pointless.

@Chris Anderson thank you Chris I'm a bit of a philosopher but not negative in my realisation of who I am. 😁 I sometimes like to be reminded of my place in the existence of,... Well everything. Stops me getting too self important.
@@phoenixjim0527 infinty does not exist. If it does that means everything is possible right? Then there should be someone capable of destroying all existence no matter how absurd it is it is less than infinity but we do exist so its impossible that means there’s a limit on what could happen. Or maybe you cant destroy infinity with a smaller one? I dont even know what am saying at this point am just going to sleep now lmao
But there you are significant enough to write this. The more I understand the vastness of the universe and infinity I stopped feeling small but also important. Probably many like us exists but not in our life time. So I’m out universe as vast as it is we’re unique.
That part about the fractals made on the computer and how you can keep zooming in brought up a great memory. So in 1994 I was draftsman for Nabisco, mostly on the board but computers were coming into age and I would occasionally do work on autocad and I realized that you could zoom in on a drawing infinitely. So I thought I would make a romantic gesture to my office fling, which would have been frowned on at work. I miss being young and handsome? Now I'm old and farty. Anyways I showed a copy of some work I had turned in too her. She said so what and I said come check this out. I brought the drawing up on computer and said look at that dot, now zoom in on it. Well we zoomed and zoomed and it still was just a point, but it can be infinite in these drawings so at some point that dot began to read the words "Todd loves Angie ........". It's part of Nabisco's catalogue of final prints.
@Lil Yeet I dunno, his story was very specific. Most liars won't put in the granular details.
@Lil Yeet I know exactly what hes talking about... Im certified in autoCAD, im just curious how Nabisco has anything to do with drafting- like the company's building???
Thank you for sharing

One of my earliest memories is arriving logically at the frontier with the infinite. I was playing in the living room of my childhood home one summer afternoon and I remember having just watched some astronomy documentary on TV with my dad the night before. I was constructing a model of the universe based on what I had seen, starting with my local position on a planet orbiting a sun, sun orbiting a galaxy, and then as they say, the galaxies disperse and the universes expands. I arrived at some primitive notion of a ball getting bigger but understood that the universe seemed to be all there could be, and that for there to be a boundary, you needed a contrasting 'not-being' that defines the boundary to 'being', and the inevitable "What Is Beyond The Edge?(!)". I was scrambling to imagine a boundary to 'not-being' beyond the on to 'being' in order to 'capture' totality, but boom... It was a peak experience, I felt hyper perceptive and suddenly aware of the truly mysterious state that I found myself in as a human child. I often say it felt like all of my guts where falling out of my, kind of like looking up at an impossibly large object, or down from a height, like tingly gonads and butterflies in my belly. A defining moment for sure.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this article I found a while ago, it's from 1990, fully sourced with notes etc. Basically, it gives a really strong argument for the Big Bang hypothesis being based on a misinterpretation due to fundamental assumptions that have been experimentally and observationally disproven.
Given the alarming rates of megalomania and utterly petty and vicious personal attacks these neurotics rail against each other just for having differing opinions! Really, I think academia, specifically the physical sciences, are totally ridden with this. Additionally, when you understand how one culture's breakthroughs can become the foundational assumptions of subsequent cultures, and how early Greek thought undermines all of western intellectual pursuit, I reckon they probably just inherited that queasiness about something that can't be contained within the rational or imaginative faculties. I guess it sucks to know you can never know....
It's unfortunate that the science field is so bloated with egos that don't want to be wrong.
This phenomenon has many names thay i dont remember.
It has a name in psycology.
And other in phylosophy.
The phylosophy one perfectly descrives the sense of "being nothing" not in the sense of not actually being nothing but of realizing how small you are.
The big ban is reassuring because it defies very horrible things, probably it replaced some other higgs field and replaced it with the stable one we live in, otherwise if it didn’t ehm, nice knowing you because we might already be gone according to the new science.
Seriously tho, we might never know or we might find something we don’t want (as we kinda have if you know what I’m talking about, but for all it is the Big Bang theory is the best and most “proven” theory we have,) the only problem is it doesn’t account for smaller things then mass
I am watching a lot of your videos and this one really shines on the most difficult topic. Very well done, from the difficult explanations of different sizes of infinities, which is already a hard thing to understand, to the philosophical ending, which is impossible to understand for us limited humans. Thank you so much.
I first questioned the reality of infinity when I was around 9. Amazement was followed by question and then headaches and nausea. I could not sleep right for a week before I simply had to acknowledge it was beyond my understanding.
Lol
you just explained daily life of an astronomer, specially after JWT went live..
What also messes with me is, was there a beginning and if so what was before?
I understand what Mr Padilla meant about his quote.
Only so much a human mind can take, I work hard, but even harder.
I was a bookkeeper full time and went to college full time. Looking after Fishermans finances. Juggling with family.
dreaming about numbers surrounded by numbers, haunted about numbers. I got so overwhelmed man my mind imploded, re-wired I went crazy.
Yeah mr padilla wasn't speaking metaphorically. If you would hold that amount of information in a space the size of a brain, it would literally physically implode into a black hole
Even trying to conceptualise or reconcile infinity is mind bogglingly difficult.
I found it helpful to forget number, size or counting of any kind and simply visualise it and its concept both philosophically and logically.
Gotta say though, it's taken over 40 years of thinking about it to come up with a personal visualisation that I feel satisfied with. 👍
It's been worth it though! 😊♾️
Nicely mind-bending mix of concepts and graphics. Felt like I'd had a puff at times! Beautifully done. Feel like I need to watch some sci-fi now! Also, as an aside, the Boltzman Brain conclusions are remarkably close to Hindu Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
Every single video that has been made from this channel has been brilliant! There's no other channel on TH-cam that produces videos like the ones here!
I truly LOVE the paradox of Infinity as a mathematical and tangible term/object. It's about the closest thing to seriously debating theology I will ever get since there is no way to talk about infinity in depth and not start touching on the realms of what seems like magic or spiritualism to the human brain; that is how complex the concept really is. I also love illustrating how number sets are all equal when viewed as infinite, and how infinity by nature is both static and dynamic in its term depending on how you use it when treating it like an object.

God, imagine a day when they ate a bunch of beans....😂 Just sitting there sweating thinking about all the soul mass they lost.
I used to think about this subject a lot when I was a child and by the time I turned eight my father cautioned me that many people throughout history had gone stark raving mad overthinking this very subject.
I've overthought about religion, the universe, and anything life related since 2019. People who go mad from what they learn are people who can't handle what they discover. Personally I've found that learning as much as i have has helped me realize how poorly our society has been constructed, how we do nothing to fix it. Helped me to realize that God , and my spirit, were nothing I thought they were. At the end of the day, when you die, at the very least you won't be you. You wont care because you're not in your body with the name you were given anymore. None of that matters. And most people don't wanna hear that.
@@AveryFelts In contrast, I find the idea of that absolutely liberating. I'm starving for something more to existence than just...*this.* I enjoy my time here as much as I can, but my mind swims with possibilities in an abstract ocean and I crave, more than any physical sensation, whatever is waiting beyond that final door of death. It might be nothing, and if it is then it won't matter. But on the chance that it's not just nothing, my God...I want to know. I'll get there eventually, either through old age or something else that steals this life away from me, but I'm not afraid to meet it. I want to find out what's waiting for us all.
Just because some folks didn’t have the mental fortitude to look at these issues doesn’t mean that you will go raving mad. If you study the lives of these people, many, if not all of them, were basket cases to begin with.
I just love it when some young guy reads the likes of Lovecraft or other unstable incels and somehow think that their take on reality is a fact and how to react to it is the way to go.
I really appreciate you guys and the opinions you share. Expanding my consciousness has been a continuous journey. Just sayin
It’s a fair warning from your dad. Humans struggle to comprehend how infinity might be possible because human life is finite. But perhaps if we have immortal souls that transcend death we will eventually understand this from another perspective. Or simply learn to live with contradiction.
Genious. The music, soundtracks, voice and narrative are just amazing. I am a physicist and what amazes me more of this fantastic channel is the Production and Direction of the whole video. Big comgrats, such videos like this make science a pleasure.

The universe is infinite, information has always existed with no beginning and it will always exist without end, information can only be transformed.
The eternal information of reality/existence is sentient.
That sentience is God.
You are made out of God's essence and you currently live in God's infinite being.
Your life is not meaningless because in an infinite universe in an infinite reality, all things infinitely matter to one who is infinitely empathetic and infinitely good.

@@shaydorahl6740 You have provided no ground for speculating that this purported eternal information is sentient, let alone interconnected across these infinities in such a way that it would be meaningful to talk about one infinite God.
Case in point, this very infinity _denies_ the possible existence of any kind of oneness, let alone a sentient one. It was a mistake to assume that because everything that can happen will happen, it somehow means that everything can happen, period.
It's entirely possible and plausible that just as there are infinite possibilities in an infinite cosmos, there could also be infinite impossibilities. What then determines this God concept of yours to be either possible or impossible? What hint can you find to make that inference that there is an infinite being, let alone an infinite God?

Thanks Edgar, but there are people who can describe in great detail what happened while they were completely dead for some time and conversations on multiple accounts.

I remember one of my calculus professors summed up the different sizes of infinity by saying something like 'countable numbers infinity is infinite in one direction since you start at 1 and keep going up, infinity between 0 and 1 is infinite in both directions since you would put an infinite number of zeroes after the decimal before you even start counting'
I find I don't need to believe this.

I’m glad you made a video about this. It’s something that’s on my mind a lot. It’s so weird to me that we’re all the way out here in the middle of nowhere. A bottomless pit. An abyss. You’d think it’d be brought up more often. How did we come to be here, drifting through the infinite?
...or in the middle of everywhere?
We had to... Did you not pay attention to the infinity part?
YOU were destined to happen it was just a matter of when.
Right. We all go about our daily lives like everything is fine when in reality we’re flying through infinity with no clear idea as to why we exist. Trippy.
Those who live in fear cannot face the infinite, therefore it isn’t talked about, and reaching it is up to the courageous few
Well put!
Thumbs up on the videos sponsor. I’ve found it really useful and I think it does a great job of just saying, “this is left,” and “this is right,” without weighing in on what is “good.” They do have factuality scores they incorporate from external vendors, but that is for publications as a whole, and not individual news stories. I feel it’s the best solution to those looking to spot and account for agendas and bias, no matter its source.
I loved thinking about infinities as a kid. I think it's unhelpful though to call infinity a number in any sense. Rather it's a function, or much rather a range of functions, used like numbers. I feel when looking at the quantisation of infinities they become incompatible with finite quantisation. When comparing the length of y=x^2 to y=2x for instance it ignores what is definable. These are not free infinites. They are constrained. When questioning whether the universe is infinite you are not dealing with a yes or no. If it were a free infinity consistency enough to define physics even in a pocket seems unlikely. So if the universe is infinite, but constrained, what is the function of that constraint? What, despite it being infinite, is excluded? If it is finite and our universe defines space/time completely is this the only place that a universe can exist because this is the only place that has existence of 'place'? If matters of physics break down at a definition of before or beyond the universe (finite or some function of infinite) it may become less of a measurement and more of defining whether the function that defines constraint of our existence and the function that defines existence of 'beyond' has points of intersection or not, but that maybe more mathematical than sensical. I admit I'm not a mathematician or physicist, just a preschool teacher, so I maybe babbling but I do find it fun to think about.
yeah its pretty much how you wana think when dealing with topics like this come to think about it word infinitive could be something actually far more simple than we imagined say a self creating loop that has a creator which depending on either it pleases to stop or not the loop either goes on or it gets destroyed the loop itself can create an illusion theres no end to it but in reality if you just cut the source of creation of it it will end simple as that however if you dont it just goes on depending on the command of the creator. Imagine counting 1,2,3,4,5......... every time you make a count you either remember a bigger number or if you dont know such you make one up think about it whats the real reason numbers get bigger? is it the fact that they existed beforehand or the fact that you remembered the next bigger value or made them up or perhaps that the numbers already existed beforehand to the point where they can never stop growing? obviously the second because they cant really exist if you havent made them up yet which means infinity in this case is nothing more than just repeating actions in your own mind,sure its possible to go on for a very long time but there is most definitely a limit to that meaning no matter how much you count those numbers there WILL be a point you will stop and that point is the point this infinity in this case ends of course someone can start from where you left but even in this case there will be an ending point to where he can no longer count more numbers(either coz he would die or get bored), do note it would get EXTREMELY hard to calculate the point from which those numbers could end so thats why its simplier to mark them as never ending rather than assigning an exact point at which they can no longer be imagined any further by say any human being thats capable of making more of them up
Dude. What’s up? Haha. I quite enjoyed your comment. Never thought about it as a function. I like that! Also the : “you’re not dealing with a yes or no.” 😀Truth is, we don’t have any concrete measure of time. A new method was just discovered, involving Rydberg wave packets!! So will see what that yields. But we know that space/time is affected by forces of gravity. Also a new discovery is the emergence of matter from light. Beyond all this, there’s probably either more to physics, iterations, or just completely different things. Perhaps it’s not infinity contained. But finity within eternity/infinite.

@@blackcatlullaby you are overcomplicating for no reason i was just giving out an example for why the word infinity is nothing more than oversimplification to an actually rather complicated thing and why it is possible to understand it P. S-i am shocked you guys read thar i was drunk when i wrote it and its a very messy and long text
@@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341 hahah, words will never be the actual thing. I may as well have been drunk! Here here.
Would really like to thank you for your content. This channel is pure gold!
I often stand outside on a clear night, stare into the sky and wonder just how far it goes. It's a question that has occasionally inspired me to Google for the answer, knowing full well that there isn't one. I've tried to come up with simple ideas, such as that at some distance from earth there's a wall - that we're essentially living inside a large sphere. However, if that was the case then there'd be something on the other side of that wall and then how far would that go? Our minds can grasp the concept of infinite numbers, because it's something which is tangible - you can write them on a piece of paper or print them out. If you had enough paper and enough time you could see some pretty big numbers, but you'd still never see the 'end'. The numbers would just keep getting larger. Even so, that's something we can appreciate. The trouble with trying to grasp the concept of what is beyond this universe is we have nothing to write down or print out - there is no way to represent it in our mind.
You should read Hawking's Brief History. It goes into this. He reckoned space has boundaries without edges, that time and space curve back on themselves. If you think about that famous "skein" of time-space, imagine that it is the inside surface of a ball. As we travel through spacetime we are permanently on the boundary, travelling across it.
I myself, have done the same action of looking up at the night sky on a clear night. It just boggles the mind. I always end up feeling infinitesimally small and having a sore neck. I have also questioned the same about the edge of the universe, if there is one, and what lies beyond it. These things seem to be incomprehensible and unanswerable in the rational mind of us miniscule humans. I can imagine that letting these questions totally consume you could lead to madness, as in the case of Cantor.
@@jerryrichmond4707 I had to stop considering it because it was doing my head in. I cannot comprehend that "out there" just goes on forever, just as I can't comprehend that it stops somewhere. The Necromundan suggested looking at Hawking's idea that space has boundaries without edges, and that time and space curve back on themselves. This brings a whole new dimension in - that time is involved, which further complicates things.
If I said nothingness can exist, it sounds crazy; mystical, biblical.
We literally live in an existence where there is nothingness. We call it "space".
There is "matter", "protons", and "nothing".
There is no edge to the universe.
There is a finite amount of "something" that drifts in an endless amount of "nothing".
We live in a literal endless pit of "nothing" with groupings of "something".
The only real edge is the limit matter and protons have reached into the nothing.
We can’t even imagine nothing.
Nice work... Ending with "Turtles all the way down." was a great touch also.
Ever since the end of Men In Black, when the aliens are playing marbles with the Milky Way galaxy, my mind has been blown by the whole concept of "beyond what we can ever possibly perceive."
I think it was just our universe not galaxy.
@@Rubbe87 umm... What?
@@Rubbe87 that’s how I took it too
@@danelynch7171 Our universe is bigger, it is our entire space and everything. A galaxy is just an order and collections of solar systems, a section of
I always thought it was implied that a galaxy as an energy source was just a means of actually transferring and controlling the immense magnitude of energy present in a galaxy, not as them actually containing a physical galaxy in a game of turtles.
Bro these videos are insane. Everyone gets better and better . I’m in Awe of these and how incredibly well they are made ! Keep them coming!!!!!
One of the most interesting things about this video, is how fundamentally frightened many people are of a limitless universe. So much so that after failing to prove a finite size, the consensus is to rely on a "scientific" cope that says "an infinite universe doesn't matter since we can't measure it, so we'll just pretend it's not there and try not to talk about it."
The main problem for most people is that they are invested in a lifetime of cultural ideas that are not conducive to genuine understanding.. A quick read of the comments shows that most people cannot discern truth, and there is no mention anywhere of necessity, which is where people have to begin..
@@fluentpiffle truth is a matter of perspective. The truth from here is not the same as the truth from there.
This video feels like it goes on for infinity
I really enjoyed this as I've been interested in space, physics, and math since I was a kid. When I first realized that some of those points of light were not single stars, but other galaxies, I had my Wow moment. As Spock would say, "Fascinating'
Imagine... out there in the infinite, there are people who pay for Netflix instead of watching this... unthinkable
I agree with you mostly. But sometimes netflix has things youtube can't play.
Is it hard to belive when you see the society... 😢
Facts! 💯 that’s ok though it’s their journey 😀🙏
Or you could watch both?
😂… That’s because Netflix is more believable
This f***ing video expanded my mind to an infinitely bewildered and frightened state. So, thanks for that. ;)
Here's my take on this topic. Theres basically two possible scenarios when it comes to the universe. One, there IS an end somewhere, where there is no more matter at all, no stars, no planets, NOTHING, not even atoms, just an expanse of pure nothingness. OR two, there ISNT an end to the universe, it just somehow goes on for infinity. Either scenario is incredibly mindblowing.
Hotu and coolworlds are the best science channels on all of TH-cam. I have only just discovered this channel but I have started binge watching. Haha. I love any and all things physics, astrophysics and quantum physics. Keep the amazing videos coming and thank you!
When I see the title "the horrors of infinite cosmos", I am surprised how different people's feelings may be. It is rather the opposite namely the possibility of a finite universe that invoke feelings of discomfort in me. Knowing that there is no end to space and no end to time would be the most comforting feeling for me.
I had the same feeling. An infinite universe seems easier to imagine than whatever could lay beyond. That's the essence of cosmic horror, I think.
No end to space means no end to life. You will eventually experience everything you possibly could.
You should even with a finite universe feel glad that you exist and might exist again and again if the universe dies out and then explodes with a new big bang over and over again. This life might be just 1 in an infinite amount that are all infinitely different. The universes size could be finite but still repeat. We are all one at the end of the day, everyone a part of the universe
"Everything that has happened, is happening or will happen has already happened" food for thought
It’s enough to drive a person mad but the comfort is all around us. We are here and that is enough regardless of anything else.
Thank you! I've been waiting, and while waiting, have watched every other of your great videos at least five times. This channel is, by far, the best of the internet!
