Explore the biggest question of all. How far do the stars stretch out into space? And what's beyond them? In modern times, we built giant telescopes that have allowed us to cast our gaze deep into the universe. Astronomers have been able to look back to near the time of its birth. They've reconstructed the course of cosmic history in astonishing detail.
From intensive computer modeling, and myriad close observations, they've uncovered important clues to its ongoing evolution. Many now conclude that what we can see, the stars and galaxies that stretch out to the limits of our vision, represent only a small fraction of all there is.
Does the universe go on forever? Where do we fit within it? And how would the great thinkers have wrapped their brains around the far-out ideas on today's cutting edge?
For those who find infinity hard to grasp, even troubling, you're not alone. It's a concept that has long tormented even the best minds.
Over two thousand years ago, the Greek mathematician Pythagoras and his followers saw numerical relationships as the key to understanding the world around them.
But in their investigation of geometric shapes, they discovered that some important ratios could not be expressed in simple numbers.
Take the circumference of a circle to its diameter, called Pi.
Computer scientists recently calculated Pi to 5 trillion digits, confirming what the Greeks learned: there are no repeating patterns and no ending in sight.
The discovery of the so-called irrational numbers like Pi was so disturbing, legend has it, that one member of the Pythagorian cult, Hippassus, was drowned at sea for divulging their existence.
A century later, the philosopher Zeno brought infinity into the open with a series of paradoxes: situations that are true, but strongly counter-intuitive.
In this modern update of one of Zeno's paradoxes, say you have arrived at an intersection. But you are only allowed to cross the street in increments of half the distance to the other side. So to cross this finite distance, you must take an infinite number of steps.
In math today, it's a given that you can subdivide any length an infinite number of times, or find an infinity of points along a line.
What made the idea of infinity so troubling to the Greeks is that it clashed with their goal of using numbers to explain the workings of the real world.
To the philosopher Aristotle, a century after Zeno, infinity evoked the formless chaos from which the world was thought to have emerged: a primordial state with no natural laws or limits, devoid of all form and content.
But if the universe is finite, what would happen if a warrior traveled to the edge and tossed a spear? Where would it go?
It would not fly off on an infinite journey, Aristotle said. Rather, it would join the motion of the stars in a crystalline sphere that encircled the Earth. To preserve the idea of a limited universe, Aristotle would craft an historic distinction.
On the one hand, Aristotle pointed to the irrational numbers such as Pi. Each new calculation results in an additional digit, but the final, final number in the string can never be specified. So Aristotle called it "potentially" infinite.
Then there's the "actually infinite," like the total number of points or subdivisions along a line. It's literally uncountable. Aristotle reserved the status of "actually infinite" for the so-called "prime mover" that created the world and is beyond our capacity to understand. This became the basis for what's called the Cosmological, or First Cause, argument for the existence of God.

I just dont get how the very thought of space being infinite doesnt fascinate more people.
I believe it also never had a beginning; it has always existed, at least energy anyways.
@@technomage6736 I mean everything has gotta have a start to something? Unless our minds cant understand things like that.
@@dichaelovic It could have just spontaneously appeared suddenly, but I doubt that. I believe there was never a "beginning", which is almost stupifying to comprehend.
Space has no beginning no end it might have but our minds are so small we can’t comprehend it
@Mike Studmuffin I would only correct you that no law states that an object can "not exist". If something doesn't exist, then there is no object to make an existence claim about in the first place.
So many people with a negative attitude and closed minds will never learn anything in this life. This is a fantastic video.

How can it NOT BE INFINITY - what- there's a BRICK wall at the END... ?WHAT'S AFTER THE BRICK WALL?
Nothing at all. Space is merely distance divided by time. It has no material description. If there is nothing at all there to measure it simply does not exist.
The edge of the expanding universe could very well be a black void, but unless we can discover wormholes to get us there AND travel at or faster than the speed of light, we'll never know since the universe is calculated to be expanding at the speed of light itself. I personally think that we all exist in a synapses currently firing within a human mind on another dimensional plane. The map of the known galaxy clusters looks a lot like the human brain when scanned while thoughts and feelings are firing up.
Exactly!
Is there a brick wall holding our galaxy together, your thinking in a simple term it's more complex than just a barrier but that doesn't mean it isn't contained
And remember nothing is just the absence of something you can't have nothing without first having something
Sometimes I come to vidoes like this to seek comfort in that fact that none of the things we worry about actually matter and that I'll be okay even if I haven't studied enough for the exam I have in less than 24 hours. But now I'll go back to studying cuz college is expensive :)

@@kidnextdxxr good picture
It's a fun concept to explore, but as far as we know, the universe just goes on forever. I don't think there is an end or some kind of barrier to keep us "inside" the universe. It's kind of crazy to think about. We don't have anything on earth to really compare to the concept of infinite space in all directions. lt's mind boggling to even consider.
The universe has no end . Time does not end, time is limitless. So if time won't end so will the universe?
So many mysterious things that we will never find out
YES. Because of the following points:
1. Why would there be a beginning or end of the universe if we never actually observed any beginning or end at all? Everything we have observed is a change in the composition of material that already was. If I ‘make’ a cake I don’t actually ‘create’ anything physical, but I re-arrange ingredients that already were. We invented these labels like all other labels to use them as a tool for our survival. For someone who takes the ‘begin’ or ‘end’ as ‘truth’ its easy to think: “Everything in nature has a begin and end SO where did the universe start and where does it end?”. We made all these creation theory’s on that thinking error.
2. If I bypass the first thinking error and accept that these labels as true then you can still define the endless emptiness behind the ‘end’ label as ‘infinite’ to remove the subjective end. If the universe is a inflatable balloon and we live on the surface of it then you need a outside observer to acknowledge the ‘end’ and by that the outside observer makes the universe bigger then the surface of the balloon since he is standing outside it. On the surface of the balloon you can never know if you are walking in a straight line to different parallel universes that look the same or walking in a circle. You can see the same universe over and over, but there will always remain the question if the pattern breaks after the second third or later cycles so then you will need that outside observer who cannot exist without expanding the universe. This does not add up and is in my opinion forcing to find the ‘end’ that we never observed in the first place (see point 1).
There can be a big bang and a so called ‘end’ to the patterns like the change of patterns we see in solar systems and galaxy’s, but a absolute end in a physical universe seems logically impossible.
The big bang happened,so the universe is definetely not infinite
Just because scientists got butthurt about not finding the end of space doesn't mean it doesn't end. I think space ends, but we just haven't gone far yet.
The space is endless black air with universes. if it has end. it would not be god or anything stupid. it would be just more galaxies growing
The universe is endless people, there will always be something.
*****
I don't have one, that's what I think, because there always is something next. It's not like at some point there will be a wall or something so you can't pass through, there is something beyond that too. Unless there is some invisible wall or something idk
+Amir Not infinite...
Logical Atheist
why...do you think there is some kind of barrier at some point
+Amir no man... In the beginning the universe was nothing... According to the standard Big Bang model, the universe was born during a period of inflation that began about 13.7 billion years ago. Like a rapidly expanding balloon, it swelled from a size smaller than an electron to nearly its current size within a tiny fraction. This meaning that the universe started somewhere and is still expanding something infinite does not expand infinity is not a number so how can something expand while being infinite what would it expand to?
Logical Atheist
I also don't believe there was nothing at the begining, there can't be nothing. It's impossible.
There always is something unless you think there is some barrier.
Just think how long it took us how many years so that we could get the freedom to THINK, without being burned to the stake like in the early days, but even so there's really not too many thinkers out there.
You could think but you had to be careful who you spoke to...
Still happening all over the world sadly
The implications of an infinite universe are absolutely mind boggling... Like the fact that there would be infinite copies and infinite versions of everyone who ever existed. In an infinite universe, this exact video is playing somewhere, but instead of the current narrator, I'm the one narrating this video, as well as everyone who ever reads this comment...
The universe is only as large as our own consciousness. Remember all your senses only exist in your own mind. There is much much more to reality than what your senses can perceive.
Yea
My conciousness is, I would guess 16 feet 4 inches in diameter ;-) Going by your nonsensical assertion "The universe is only as large as our own consciousness" yours is only about 2 inches wide.
Brent Bauer did you seriously just agree with your own comment? That's sad.

I wish we had the technology to send a craft into space, and keep going until it hits something. I don't think there's an end, and I also believe that in this vast, never ending universe...we can't be the only planet with life on it. There must be another planet or planets out there where the inhabitants there might be thinking the same about us

@Stone Blue What's beyond "the end"?
And if it hit something, WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT???????
If it hit something - a wall of some sort, then from what we understand of walls there must be something on the other side. The trouble is, the human race cannot ever comprehend 'infinity' because we live in a world that is defined by limits.
This is dead ass one of the coolest documentaries I've ever seen. Everything about it from the pure concept of the video, to the visuals and music used. Brilliant stuff and super trippy.

Just to know and understand that we are all part of it makes it joyous!
Wow! That was awesome! There truly is something deeply paradoxical about the very notion of infinity. Whether there is such a thing or not, I think we should begin by distinguishing between REAL infinity (if it exists), and "infinity" the concept that we manipulate in our minds as a "place holder" for that infinitely impossibly awesome concept of TRUE infinity, whether in one direction, or the opposite, or any other direction, or even within any finite interval (is it *really* infinitely sub-divisible?). Whereas "infinity" (in "scare quotes") is our internal mental token that represents an un-representable concept, a finite token to indicate an infinite thing.
I’m old now but when I was in my teens and knew people that knew with LSD, those people may or may not of stayed awake for many days pondering this.
if the universe is infinite, space would go on forever, how is that possible (so weird) but if it is finite, what's on the edge and what's like 'behind' it? it's just scary to think about
Uh shit , i have same thoughts like you , thats confusing
Daniel Acevedo lol
Or it could be a sphere, so it is finite in size and has no edge.
i agree with this and i believe outside our universe are other universes
What do you see?
Thank you so much so much for a 25 mins video that concludes "the scientists will continue to look for evidence but the final answer will always elude us"
If you think about it the fact that a circle’s circumference goes on forever it makes perfect sense because a circle is round and it’s continuous, it’s really incredible how the math reflects that, I find myself believing more and more that we’re living in a computer simulation, the math is just so convincing.

In the infinite monkey theory (what you showed were apes, not monkeys 😋), when you give an 'infinite' number of monkeys an 'infinite' amount of time to type on an 'infinite' amount of typewriters, there's not just a chance that you'll eventually receive the entire works of Shakespeare, there's the certainty that you 'will.' Not only will you certainly get that result, but you'll get it an infinite number of times. The monkeys would never stop, and there are only a finite set of letters they're typing with.
A similar concept is that if our universe is truly infinite--since there are only a finite number of possible ways atoms and particles can be rearranged--there would, with absolute certainty, be another 'exact' version of you out there, exactly identical to you down to the very atom. Not only would there be a perfect identical copy of you, there would be an infinite number of "you's" out there, or at least physically identical copies of you. And since there are only a finite number of ways matter can interact with matter, and brains encode memories and experiences, there would eventually, in an infinite universe, be an infinite number of these "you's" who have lived a perfectly identical life to the life you've lead, down to interacting with a set of friends who are identical to your set of friends, to the atom, with identical lives to them. This would happen an infinite number of times because infinity never ends, and the law of averages demands that this outcome must eventually happen in an infinitely large universe, eventually.
Well said sir.

We will never know because the expansion is moving faster than the light being emitted from the outer most reaches..the most intriguing question to me is what is it expanding into?
Therapist …My Dear , Universe is expanding into whom we call NOTHINGNESS…It is no matter but pure Consciousness [Body of God invisible]
JagtarSinghAujla. California
It’s not expanding. It just is. U can’t expand into nothing. If u could slow down the process of the expansion what is it you think u would see?
My mind has always stuck when I imagine how big this universe is….
Is it big? What is big. Big is only big in comparison to something smaller.
Big bang always seemed ridiculous to me. That just begs the question of where did the matter and anti-matter that created the big bang come from? How did that bang create planets and suns and how the hell did it create so much matter? Why has't it happened again since?
I believe that the universe has always existed. Planets and stars come and go. The universe goes on for ever and ever and ever and ever, etc.
The thought of this really drives me insane
I believe that the universe is a loop, as it impossible to have either an end or no end to space. Although our brains might just not be able to explain to ourselves how something can exist without having an end or with an end, this is because space is the only thing that could be so complicated for even the smartest of people to figure out, it is hard to believe that space could be infinite as it is hard to think of anything else that is infinite that has been discovered, you would've thought that we would've been able to discover something that has no end. And then that leaves us to believe that space has an end, but then you could think about how could space have an end? How could something be blocking us from going any further? Which is why I believe that space is a loop as the other two options are seemingly impossible.
Please tell me any ideas that could prove me wrong.
Then don't think about it

Great video and narration. Two thumbs up 👍🏾 👍🏾
This concept is so unfathomably, impossibly, and ridiculously mind boggling that we will never truly understand the incredible magnitude of our universe and if in fact it is a finite block of space matter or a infinite three dimensional plane. Both have incredibly confusing implications and quite frankly, I think a finite universe would make even less sense than a flat out infinite universe. Take in mind, humans were the ones that said some things can only be finite, but why can’t some things be infinite? This is a question for the ages and I’m not even sure if it will ever be answered although I hope generations that come next do!
I think the universe is not expanding,
It is just simply infinite unknown,
Imagine how shocked the first person to have an idea how big actually the universe is.

If the universe was Infinite, technically there would be an Infinite number of you. This has to do with there is a limited number of ways a certain space's molecular compound can be rearranged.
100% always said this. When you die you have no sense of time or reality which then leads you into another form of life. I mean if you die and 10000000000000000000000000000000 years could pass, maybe more maybe less and you'll instantly be born into your new reality. A new consciousness. But will you know you lived in the past? Maybe the world you're living in is way further advanced than we are and understand how this works, or maybe you're a parasite feeding off something's shit. Either way it'll continue to happen for eternity. You was here a infinite amount of times in the "past" and you'll continue to live for the "future" (even though there's no such thing as time) that's just a way to explain.
@Igor Drake not necessarily
I never thought of it quite like that, but you are absolutely right. That's mind blowing.
@@nuka5619 maybe
But if the universe is infinite there are infinite combinations of anything and everything including your life lived in another place with perhaps one different molecule of water in one different place in a lake that you swam in once. Following, each one of your infinite lives lived, each with a different molecule in a lake that they swam in at one time would have an infinite lifetimes lived, each with another different molecule in a different part of the lake. And that is just about you and one other molecule, the tiniest sample of infinity imaginable. It makes you almost need to rule out infinity, but at the same time makes religious beliefs almost entirely plausible. *this is officially my first foray into philosophy.
The thing is, sentient beings have this concept of time and this concept of size, because it is around us. We are born, we live and we die, that is the cycle of all life as we see it, everything has a beginning and everything has an end... at least in our minds.
There is no definitive answer to whether the Universe is finite or not, there is no real way to know for sure and really you can only speculate and argue the differing/conflicting evidence, opinions, theories, etc.
What if, space and time cannot be calculated to a beginning and an end because there simply isn't one? What if, the universe has always been and always will be regardless of whether our entire species ceases to exist one day?
Humans cannot fathom infinitum because we do not see it in our own physical and observable space (meaning our galaxy, our solar system, our planet, your continent, your country, your state/territory/province/region if any, your city, your house, your room, and the physical space in which you yourself exist in). We are use to conclussion, we are use to the fact that there is an end to everything around us and that it has an origin, but as soon as something disrupts that order we can't/don't/struggle to believe it.
Bro, you are soooo overthinking this. Life wasn't meant to be a riddle. There are answers and meaning to existence. All you have to do is think about the "matter" that exists in our world. If matter exists then (we can argue this) what created it? We know energy cannot be created or destroyed. (Newtons first law) So not only does something infinite have to exist for matter to exist but something with the property of omnipotence and creative ability.

@@calebgrabowski5184 Better check again, the universe created you didn't it? And if you want to say that God created you than you are right. But God has no limits and is infinite and universal. Man will always need to keep God in the picture of everything he perceives because he doesn't have the ability to perceive infinity. Attempting to do what only God can do is futile. It is better to attempt to do things that are within our capability than mess with things that are not. We are doing the best we can to deem something infinite simply on the basis of the fact that we cannot measure it. It makes no sense to try to define infinity in any other way other than to say that it has no limits and as far as man is concerned the universe fits this classisication.

Habitable zone dear! Amadeus... no pos wow! 🌗⚡️
I use to watch this channel all the time when I was younger.
If the Universe is infinite, does that mean that every point in time and space is the center of it?
I´m not an expert, but I would think that the center is the point half way between at least two ending points, so if infinity doesn´t have ending points, it can´t have a center..
Karl Gruber sure well that is when you are talking about a single center of something but if it is infinite then every place is a center on its own since the space surrounding that appointed center can grow infinitely around that point.
I guess it depends on the definition of the word center. My intuition tells me that center can only be where there is a beginning and an end. To my intuiton, to state that a center is everywhere, is the same as stating that the beginning and the end is everywhere.. so center and the perimiter would be the same..
Maybe, mathematically, the definition is different though.
Hmm, I wonder wheather there can be a half infinity.. like there is one beginning but no end.. and if this half infinity contains more numbers than the whole one..
Karl Gruber true I think reality is more like a infinity which holds beginnings and ends inside of it. Maybe because we are part of one beginning and end we think that reality has to have the same pattern, sometimes it is hard for a piece of the puzzle to realize it is part of a whole.
There is no center to infinity.The concept is very mind boggling. There is not even a center between two finite points. You can't keep dividing something in half until it is nothing...theoretically. The video actually demonstrates this at about 5:35 in. Paradox.
Of course if you look at it has anything that has an equal amount of distance from it in all directions could be considered a center, but it does not work with a concept such as infinity.Can you fathom infinity + 1 or infinity - 1?
The 'big bang' is constantly happening. That's why theres too much matter in the universe. It's why everything is accelerating away from us. It's why galaxies are evenly distributed. As spacetime expands it pulls more stuff into existence
So the earth is the center of the universe? I mean, if everything is moving away from us, that is the logical conclusion, right?
Watching these videos make my real life problems not so bad
If future time is infinite, what is more mind-boggling is the past being infinite.
Indeed
Wow this is crazy we will never leave this galaxy unless we team up with aliens and they give us power to to survive the long ride to different galaxy's omg that would be fucking amazing
Is it the pattern of movements in the universe?
*Moons* move around the planets.
*Planets* move around the stars.
*Stars* move around the galaxies (black holes).
*Dwarf galaxies* move around the big galaxies as clusters.
*Clusters* move around superclusters.
*Superclusters* move around within the universe?
*Universe* moves around what?
There are so much much much *round objects* within the universe 😎 😍 🙄
Everything revolves around God.
Thanks for the video
Its calming to hear..
Is the universe infinite? Stay 24 minutes to not get the answer.
because we don't know the answer that's it lol
haha, that's typical of most of these kinds of documentaries. There are also the many "Do Aliens/Ghosts exist?" documentaries where they reach no conclusion at all.
infinite
because if its finite so there is something behind this universe
I assumed that's the case, which is why I stopped watching at around the 16 minute mark.
I LL GIVE YOU THE REAL ANSWER : YES AND NOT, THE UNIVERSE IS INSIDE OUR CONSCIENCE, DEATH DO NOT EXIST, THIS IS LIKE A DREAM, WHEN WE DIE, WE ACTUALLY WAKE UP INTO THE REAL REALLY, AND WE AWAKE TO THE TRUTH @@@@@@@@@@ THAT'S GOD. TRUTH, PERFECTION AND JUSTICE.
Here is the problem I find with this and other videos. The question asked is: Does space go on forever? Is there no end to space?
Now the answers always relate to the size and growth of the universe, and they go on and on about the universe. Now one has little or nothing to do with the other. We all know that the universe is expanding. And where is it expanding ? The answer is; in space. So I would have to say “yes, space goes on forever”. There is no end to space. Now, if you came to the end of space, or a wall, the question would be, What’s on the other side? To me , the only conclusion is : Space is endless. It goes on forever....
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that spacetime is distinct from space. The universe IS space, outside of the universe spacetime, the cosmological constant etc. dont exist as we know them. Quantum fluctuations wouldn't occur if our universe was a closed system, since we see quantum fluctuations which appear to add information to the universe, something thats supposed to be impossible under the second law of thermodynamics, the most likely explanation is that those fluctuations are coming from other universes outside our current scope of spacetime.
TheRhinehart86 But still, what he said is exactly what I've thought about too. If the universe has an end, that ending means that we're unable to move past it. There must a physical solid wall of infinite thickness that stop us, or it must not, but there is SOMETHING, which there must be infinite off? It's a weird thing to think about..
TheRhinehart86 I think you are mistaken about what I said. Space goes on forever in all directions. The universe had a beginning and an end where it is now , but is constantly expanding. Let me explain this in a way you can understand.
I plant a tree. In 2 years it has grown 24 inches high. So the tree ends at 2 feet now. But it continues to grow and expand. Just like the universe. It had a beginning and has expanded to where it is at this moment. Therefore it has an end, but it is constantly growing and expanding into space...
if god created us but if he created him self then who created god

I wish I was born 200 years later so I could travel to space.
If you were, you'd probably wish you were born in this age.
@@fourth8656 ❓Why
@@yungpo9853 I'm no expert... but I don't think the future will be kind to us.
I stayed at the Hotel Infinity once. The room service took forever!
The whole universe is spinning around itself in a much larger universe.Spinning is a crucial part for everything,and a connection with other dimensions.Time as we know it does not exist.The past,present and the future all happens at the same moment..
+MrCheatreporter Yes, but few people understand this

I still pick that theory over religion

You're just making all this up as you go along; stop basing scientific concepts off the "feeling" you get about them; like you saying, "and i know some mathematical concepts imply infinite, but it eventually ends". No dude..._it doesn't_. Total fucking nonsense. I came here to answer a comment of yours that popped up in my email notifications, but I now see there's just wayyy too much bullshit to address; however, about your "theory" of the universe having the shape you're certain of? If it did, it wouldn't be a traditional 3-dimensional shape - it would be something that you (and most all of us) have no intuitive ability to visualize, i.e. it'd be a hypersphere, hypertoroid, etc. But if you actually CARED about the most current data from the most _current_ experiments, you'd see that it's indeed the opposite of what you "know in your heart to be true" or whatever nonsense you're basing your ""theories" on...and that is that the curvature of the universe is FLAT! Therefore it is most likely infinite. Look up Planck's findings, as well as the theories its findings upholds.
+MrCheatreporter no that's wrong. If it was spinning than we'd see distant galaxies red shifting on the plane of that spin. What we see are Galaxies red shifting in every direction.
1/5 for effort, I suggest going back to elementary school.
Every thing has end but space have also end but we not found end just think about it's very interested
Seriously... what's really cool about all this is that there ARE answers to all this. The universe is a physical, rational thing. But the answers are somewhat above our pay grade.
Ca not get enough brilliant 👍
when you accomplish something in the world you feel amazing and like your on top, but when you look up at the night sky and really think about space and all this you realise your place, that you’re just a human, you are not as big as you think you are. you look at the stars and think that there is so much out there, so much we do not know about, and probably never will. we dont know if there’s life on other planets but if there was, think of it like this; they probably think the same about aliens as we do, or they dont think at all, who knows, but the way we see aliens is interesting looking creatures flying to our planet in ships, but when you think about it, they probably believe that we may be aliens too, since astronauts get into their rocket ships and visit planets to inspect things. thats really just my idea on the whole life on other planets thing. but what really is scary is that there is just so much out there that if we are the only life form then we are so stranded, so so stranded. and sometimes when you look at the stars, its hard to take all of that in.
"But like the room at the end of an endless corridor, the final answer will always elude us."
Uh... nope, you just said it was an endless corridor, so basically you just admitted that the Universe was infinite.
This is close to the answer if you learn to run at 1 day old and run 24/7 till you die you will not be any closer to the end of the universe as the day you started. I am not saying the universe is infinite, I am saying if there is a end and you did run 24/7 till the day you die you are no closer to the end if there is a end as the day you started running short answer this question is 50/50 either there is a end or there is no end.
@@dennisaustin6058 there is no end, dude... obviously
This guy has the voice of the planetarium shows at the Academy of Sciences.
So much to be discovered and learn
Just trying to wrap your mind around it it's crazy how can it be endless space... Ya I don't know but I love watching stuff like this makes you think
A simply way to unboggle your mind: "If it hasn't been conceived, it doesn't exist."
Our universe 100.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 x 46.000.000.000 lightyears in diameter, I have to admit, is quite quite quite big, but then still the key-question remains: what's beyond that? So really infinite seems much more plausible.
Dennis Pereboom I always like to say this, if the universe is not infinite it might as well be.
Every thing ends, and what would of made the universe, and what would of made the thing that made the universe, and so on.
Arlo2299 but would it be the earth you started from?
Arlo2299 I have a better theory. A theory so bat shit crazy it makes sense
Arlo2299 if the universe is infinite then time travel is possible and this is why.
ok this is going to be extremely long.
If the universe is infinite then everything that could possibly happen is all happening at once an infinite amount of times. Things in the past and future would be happening right now as well because they are physically possible to happen, everything that could ever happen in every way they could ever happen is happening right now all at once. So this means two things, first time and space are the same thing and second the universe has always been here and will always be here because if space and time are the same thing and we have an infinite amount of space then we have an infinite amout of time going both forward and backwards. So theoretically if we could visit the future by traveling to an earth that is experiencing the right time and version of that time. This also would mean enstines theory of relatively is correct, if we traveled as at fast enough speed where we reached an exact copy of our earth that is a few years in the future to our perspective we would have aged slower than everyone on earth. After all the theory of relativity is all about perspective.
Obviously there are many problems with using the infinite universe for time travel for example the red shift and the near infinite distance we would have to travel to reach the closest earth copy. If we could instantly teleport that would be the only way.
Another problem would be proving the universe is actually truly infinite. The only way to prove it would be to never find an edge, but you would keep think it's just because you can't find it doesn't mean it's there. It's impossible to prove it but also impossible to disprove it for the same reason, to disprove it you would have to find the edge and just because you can't find it doesn't mean it couldn't be just a little bit farther. The true nature of the universe could be a paradox.
All this would also mean the big bang was a local event not unlike the birth of a new solar system from a super nova.
Boom, mind blown
I love SpaceRIP. Best videos on the internet!
TH-cam : Give us the option of watching the required number of ads BEFORE the content starts.
Ads? Where?
@@Bluebirdfalling , I get the content interrupted by an ad every 15-20 mins. I understand that as a free user, the content is supported by advertising; I just think it would be better if I had the choice of watching all the ads before the video, so I could watch the content un-interupted.
Ads are out of hand. I have been blocking them internet-wide for 6 years now.
The other day, on my nephews mobile, I saw a 42 minute pre-roll ad on a 3 minute video! Seriously, What the actual fcuk?
ALL ads that interrupt any content should be banned. The only acceptable type of ads are those that are:
• In the right-hand margin of the page, away from site content. (For TH-cam, this would be to the right of the suggested videos, next to the scroll-bar of the browser)
• ONLY still images/photos with a caption/motto/catchphrase and a link.
• NO gifs, animations, slideshows, flashing, moving, or sounds.
• NO banners, overlays, pop-ups, pop-outs, pop-unders, forced re-directs, or any ad that occupies more than 10% of the margin.
Basically, any ad should be like a TH-cam thumbnail. Small and still, until acted upon.
ALL other types of ads should be (and will be) blocked.
Practice respectful advertising, and I will respect the advertising. Practice invasive and annoying advertising, and I will block it.
I still PAY for my internet data that advertisers steal with invasive ads that hog up bandwidth and ever-increasing amounts of data trying to sell me boner pills (I'm a girl) , some asinine tv show, or some cheap chinese junk that won't last a month.
Nope.

I'm going Kookoo for Coco puffs over this.
You answered your own question. Whats beyond them? There is space, whether matter exists there or not. Physics demands it.
Gee thx KutWrite I was gonna watch the whole thing but then I saw your comment so thx a bunch.
It is impossible to comprehend the conspect of Infinity
It's always seems impossible until it's possible!!
No it’s easy. Just imagine yourself and all your life and everyone and thing you know replicated infinite times. For infinity. You were just born somewhere else an infinite number of times. You just as well died an infinite number of times. Also you’ve done everything you’ve ever wanted and have done absolutely nothing at the same time.
This is why I believe the universe is not infinite.
Space is infinite not the universe
@Steven Hickman no1 knows that hes talking out of his ass.
True

Still very interesting show and there's a lot of concepts up there it just shows people just think differently...... It doesn't mean they wrong it's just the way they see it
