Chesky Stern it might also be a sin to say that we don’t know something when we clearly do! We do know what existed before or outside spacetime. You will see what I mean if you stop trying to make your way back to the beginning from within spacetime -when we know that the natural laws break down! Seriously that’s just being stupid. You can take yourself out of the universe one way. By finding the one solid thing that must have existed forever. Probability or probabilities. I explain the implications of this one foundation of reality in my video where I look hideous but Looks aren’t everything 😆🤷♀️ People are so sure that they don’t know but that’s patently ridiculous because you can take the whole universe as an experimental result in a way- and then we DO KNOW that there was the probability of the universe existing. We know that and that’s huge. Probability is prime. It exists without the universe. The implications of that are staggering. I explain in my video. Incidentally I am a scientist in the top 1% of IQ and I have thought about this one thing my whole life. I am not being contentious, flippant, or cute. I discuss these things with Nobel Prizewinners.

Great pure science up to 1x10-43 seconds. During this point he throws out the most obvious point and provides 3 explanations even more radical. Physics 'breaking down' is not the most obvious explanation. You can't explain physics if what you use to calculate it doesn't exist yet. Einstein's theory perfectly predicts that space, time, and matter are interdependent. That's the 'physics' relationship we have. It's pretty obvious if you don't have one you don't have any. The most logical explanation is that there was nothing as we know it. No time, matter, or space. His concept of multiple universes is also most logical mathematically, but does not need to intercept with ours.
Well, it's not like they need to be misleading. They are a real science lab (I can confirm, I have family members working there) that actually works with these things.

@Jeroen De Cloe "It's not easy to explain difficult things in an easy way." That's true when someone's just trying to explain something difficult. Like a rocket engineer trying to explain how all the many facets involved in the mechanics of a rocket work together to produce a rocket that does what it's designed to do. That would be very difficult to explain in an easy way. But Dr Logan, I think it was, he's trying to explain the impossible. There is no scientific method in his description. There's no science that could reveal anything about what happened before creation came into being. And the big bang model defies the laws of physics, logic, the scientific method and common sense. Apparently, this fantasy club actually believe they represent Christ. Far from it. Christ taught us to trust God's word. Not change it, amend it, manipulate it, to conform with the secular ideologies of big bangs, billions of years, evolution, etc. When, and for how long the creation event took is clearly written in the book of Genesis, and specifically, the King James version. What God's word teaches is clear. The only question is do you believe God's word or man's best guesses? Because this guy is not teaching science aka observed, tested, repeatable knowledge. He's choosing what seems most reasonable, and aligns best with the modern secular concessions. Literally, you have to presume the big bang happened before compiling various theories about when and how it happened, what was happening prior to it, what caused it, etc. Without your initial assumption that it happened, there is nothing to extrapolate upon. That means it's all fantasy. So, you tell me... What, exactly, have you actually learned from examining a long list of previous fantasies? And if you're a Christian, believe Christ. He created the world as is, in six days, approximately 6000 years ago. Personally, I chose to believe God's word... At least until it can be proven wrong. And His word, as always, has proven to be, by far, the most scientifically sustainable model of the universe's origin and creation. No model that begins with "billions of years ago" stands up to objective scrutiny. Just the observation of the many clues just inside this solar system defy and debunk that model... Dinosaur fossils, and fossils in general, have been proven to be but a few thousand years old, by numerous examples of the actual application of the scientific method. Evolutionists have only one good reason to deny science every time it defies evolution. They prefer to believe there is no Creator. But Christians don't have any good reason to deny both God and science. Peer pressure is not a good reason, btw. Leave God out of it and just stand by the actual unbiased, objective, tested and repeated observable facts. Bio matter has a half-life of about 520 years, tops. Period. End of discussion. Rescuing devises are not how science moves forward. The bible, ancient textual human history, archeology, fossils, and the objectivity of the scientific method, just to name a few, all favor God's word, at all times, and in all things. But Christians need to learn to trust God... At least until His word has been demonstrably proven wrong. If anyone could have done that, there would be no bible. It's loaded from top to bottom, side to side, cover to cover with specific people, places, things, times, dates, prophecies, world renowned events, and more... If it was all made up, it would be the easiest thing in the world to debunk.

I just think it’s more interesting when scientists talk about what they don’t know, since that’s when the juices of our imagination and innovation explode discovering. Also, when you understand what we don’t know, it’s pretty boring when a scientist starts telling you with great confidence what happened before the Big Bang.
@Mike Doonsebury There a difference between Knowledge, Belief, Scientific Hypothesis, and a Scientific Theory. If you understood the difference, you wouldn't have posted your comment. Far too many people think a scientific hypothesis when stated, is something that scientists know to be true, or are asserting to be true. No, it's only a possibility they have reason to believe MAY be true, and do not have any verifiable evidence for it yet.

I'm a fairly intelligent person holding bachelor degrees in biology (with a minor in chemistry), medical technology, and nursing, in that order. I'm a retired R.N. about 10 years now. In all that schooling, I thereby have an almost total science background. Out of all that science, I've only had 2 courses in physics that didn't require calculus. Those 2 courses would be Physical Chemistry, which are the booger bears of physics courses! I guess that explains why I was only able to fully comprehend his concepts. I really need to go back and watch the video again to try to comprehend those parts that went over my head! To be honest, I was humbled by this presentation. I rarely run across anything I read or see that goes completely over my head. 🤔

this has been answered in 2019 paper by Neurokinetikz..I Dunno why these scientists keep persisting on WE DUNNO.. it's simple..dig in and get enlightened.. Theoretical Implications Either the universe has the properties of a hologram. Or the hologram has the properties of a universe. What is the Universe? The universe is a black hole. And every black hole is a universe. The big bang is the collapse of our black hole into a singularity, creating a universe in its interior. The universe is a black hole contained in a parent universe with the same laws of physics and other black holes. The 7th dimension of string theory is the plane of possible universes with the same laws of physics but different initial conditions.
The problem is that we only have a small sample size, taken over a tiny period of time, and from one infinitesimally small spot in the universe. Our perspective is fixed, and we have to make many assumptions based only on the tiny snippets of information we can collect at that point. It's like sampling the air one inch above the ground outside your front door for a week, and then trying to describe the whole of the Earth's atmosphere in minute detail, just from those readings. Yet even with millions of weather measurements taken around the globe every day, dozens of weather satellites in orbit, and vast amounts of computing power running simulations, we still don't have the granularity to accurately predict the exact conditions at that one spot at any point in time. Now imagine this on a universal scale.
The Big bang .was different when the deep infra red james webb telescope shook up the science tists when they did not see what they thought they should see
I love how Dr. Lincoln explains these things. The available information is very well presented. If he was my teacher when I was much younger I almost certainly would have gone into theoretical physics, the wonderment of science. Amazing.
@Larry Chappell The elephant in the room is that before the big bang there was nothing (no time, no space, no mass, no energy). Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created... The physical laws of time and space, and the relationship of mass and energy, and all atomic values defined in the first microsecond. Since God created them he operated outside those parameters and is in no way limited by them in any way. So what was before the big bang we can never know...until we die and then it won't matter. Apparently the universe is a one-time event. It was created, will exist for a period of time (approximately 145 billion years) then the "Big Rip" will end it all with all mass reduced to sub-atomic particles and be rolled up like a scroll.

@@HamhocksUnlimited I'm trying to work out if you are a troll or just uneducated (I suspect its the latter). Its perfectly reasonable and entirely honest to say there exists a consensus if indeed a consensus does exist. There are many scientific explanations for which there is indisputably a consensus. Biological evolution and the Big Bang are two such examples. It may be that you personally don't like those explanations because (perhaps) they conflict with your preferred religious narrative, but it is demonstrably true that they represent the scientific consensus on those issues.
I love that you use 'Centigrade'. I still do it, but then change it to 'Celsius' because I don't think anybody will know what I'm talking about nowadays.
When I was a kid, one of my classmates used to argue that our universe (and its expansion) is simply the other side of some other parallel universe's black hole. We debated and argued over this idea throughout the fifth grade.
As the saying goes: "If you can't show it, you don't know it." I will admit I've had the same idea myself, and it's a fun one, but there's problems about the questions of energy quantity and why black holes don't seem to lose any coherent level of mass, although the search for Hawking radiation is still on.
that's the holographic principle, based on information thought to be imprinted on a black hole's event horizon, which was established as the solution to the information paradox by stephen hawking i think. Then speculation arose that the same thing could apply to our whole universe, all the universe as information imprinted on a two dimensional hologram, either encircling our universe or imprinted on a black hole's event horizon. This encouraged further speculation taking the idea to its most extreme conclusion-the simulation hypothesis. Holographic principle though merely speculative is way more sensible than the latter. But that's only relatively speaking. They are both fringe ideas. Indeed two experiments have been done to test for the holographic principle, one was to test for the equivalent of pixels in the structure of space-time. If this is holographic, then space will be pixelated. However so far no pixelation has been found. Another experiment, this one non lab based, used telescopes to measure the journey of different types of electromagnetic waves, specifically if space-time is not a smooth membrane like medium, then Fermi's LAT would have detected a significant time lag between the arrival of the lowest-energy and highest-energy gamma rays. In fact, to within one part in 100 million billion, the two photons traveled at the same speed. Many approaches to new theories of gravity picture space-time as having a shifting, frothy structure at physical scales trillions of times smaller than an electron. Some models predict that the foamy aspect of space-time will cause higher-energy gamma rays to move slightly more slowly than photons at lower energy. Such a model would violate Einstein's edict that all electromagnetic radiation -- radio waves, infrared, visible light, X-rays and gamma rays -- travels through a vacuum at the same speed. Fermi showed that pixelation or rough 'texture' in space-time may not exist at all. So far the smoothness of the space-time continuum has been confirmed. So that's NO to the holographic principle or simulation hypothesis. It confirms the aether/vacuum conventional idea, supported by Einstein and his predecessors which describes spacetime as euclidean. However all this fringe speculation, especially occupying populist 'science' circles, started with the information paradox black hole problem, which I'm not satisfied is solved, and I don't even think it's that great a problem-energy can't be created or destroyed, information can't be lost. These rules may not apply in extreme situations e.g. at the high energy and temperatures just after time equals zero st the big bang our laws of physics did not apply. And similarly things break down in black holes-which are the most extreme predictions derived from General relativity's mathematics-all the tensor and vector calculus. the schwarzschild metric and the kerr metric describes the physics of black holes, and it's pretty crazy,the maths says in a kerr black hole you can visit your own past. Black holes spin space and time. All real black holes are spinning black holes. The angular momentum of the star thay collapsed, plus the material the black hole devows, even at a quantum level, the angular momentum of every fermion and boson means black holes always rotate. A paper in the astrophysical journal detailed how gamma ray bursts seem to produce superluminal motion, with superluminal gamma waves being time reversed.. gamma ray burst only happen in very extreme cosmological events and therefore are another example of where our laws of physics may break down to produce faster than light travel through space under that unique condition. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab3bdf

I may have to listen to this video 100 before I absorb all of its content. He communicates EXTREMEMY well; but single sentences often contain 3 or more complex ideas that have to be understood individually before connecting them together so as to grasp the meaning of the entire sentence. Each successive sentence then builds upon what preceded it. It's a struggle for me but an immensely rewarding one.
Dr. Don Lincoln, this by far the best video I have ever seen on the big bang theory & quite opening when you mentioned that we do not know what was universe like at time = zero & I guess 10th -43 secs.
"Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:" Isaiah 42:5 "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number." Job 9:7-10 Also search; Isaiah 45:12: Isaiah 40:22: And John 1:1-5 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." Also John 3:16-18

I don't know why I watch these videos that talk about this specific "what came before" subject expecting an answer. Regardless of how interesting and how well they answer this question, the answer is inevitably going to be the same: we just don't know. It is amazing that they know as much as they do.
Actually there's a very great deal we do know, and it's not flattering. Einstein said: "thermodynamics is the one theory of universal content which will never be overthrown". Arthur Eddington made Einstein Einstein. He said: "if your theory challenges thermodynamics there is no hope for you other than total humiliation". These theorists, well-intentioned or other(Brian Greene), put bread on their table with their theories. NO ONE grants $$$ to respond to, "we don't know and there's every reason to think we never will". So reasonably they HAVE to propose hypotheses. But NOTHING is suggested that doesn't conflict prima facie with thermodynamics. 1st Law disallows heat from cold: this universe of heat from "nothing"(cold). 2nd Law demands that heat goes only to cold: this universe of heat would have distributed to cold if eternal....it has not so it's not eternal. NOTICE NONE of them EVER refer to a reconciliation with thermodynamics. NOT because they don't have it...OF COURSE THEY DON'T. But because NO ONE EVER voices the words; "thermodynamics is wrong". It's the clergy saying "there's no God"; THEIR JOB IS OVER!! (some clown will suggest quantum physics; QM can NEVER conflict with "conservation laws".)
Don Lincoln here did not properly explain what actually occurred before existence expanded out of the singularity. The singularity is where/when all this existence was merged into, you got it, a "singularity". What is this singularity? This is energy at its maximum level of intensity, an infinite level of intensity. It is not possible to go beyond an infinite/maximum level of energy which is why we can logically conclude the singularity does not have a beginning. As existence expands, the level of energy decreases, and will continue decreasing until its minimum level of intensity, even if it takes an eternity to get there.
@@WayneLynch69 but, how do you really know? You put your trust in what you read. How do you really know that's what Einstein actually said? He may be fiction. I know it seems to all make sense but, how can we really know.?
Matter can't be created from nothing but at one time it was. Our brains are not equipped to deal with this type of problem. There is something out there that we are completly blind to. We need more than the 5 senses that we have.
Not only "We don't know," but "We probably _can't_ ever know." The Bang had already presumably happened, and expansion was already underway at the earliest point our observations can tell us anything concrete. Anything _anyone_ has to say on the actual _origin_ of the matter, energy, space, and time involved in that expansion, whether the person be of secular persuasion or theological, is a matter taken on the basis of neither empiricism nor rationalism. That leaves faith. (and before anyone claims that he uses rationalism in the video, yes, he does, but only up to the point where physics becomes meaningless. Before that, he openly admits that there is only speculation, with no actual data).

Thank you for another great physics video! During most of your videos you are standing in front of a black board with all kinds of calculations, that really intrigue me. I know the black board is primarily for show. But, I wonder if you would consider discussing the black board and some of the equations that are pertinent?

Bro, were you really listening to him? "Everything after 10 to the minus 13 seconds is solidly known.". This man believes that he knows solidly how the universe was created back to the very first second. He's so narcissistic, that he says they don't exactly know what happened from time 0 to 10^-13 seconds, but what they think is sensible speculation. After 10^13 seconds? Oh no, that's not speculation. He just knows. I have no problem with the theory. It may be true. It may not be. Personally, I think the odds of them actually being correct are astronomical (no pun intended). My problem is the insane amount of arrogance to basically just take this theory as complete fact. Actually, I don't think he "basically" takes it as fact. I'm pretty sure he completely takes this as fact, and a done deal. Which again, I have no problem with him believing that either. I wished he would just acknowledge it as a belief. A very strong belief.

I just can't get past how the universe went from something the size of a pinhead to enough volume to make up all the matter we no of and all the rest we haven't seen yet. Great video btw.
Yeah, that caught my attention too. Very passive-aggressive insult to our theist pals. On that note, I came upon this video as a recommendation while browsing atheist vs theist discussions. It may be an inadvertent means to point out one of theists primary arguments about creation. In that they seem to imply that only an omnipotent entity(?) could create from nothing. As the video points out there never was a nothing but there was a singularity which is a thing. Given we know so little about the singularity, It is easy to present the idea that it can't exist. It reminds me of a boss I had once whose philosophy was that if he couldn't understand something within the first 5 seconds it did not and could not make any sense and can thus be disregarded. How he got to be my boss is also something incomprehensible: hm, maybe he didn't really exist.

There is no such thing as sin where ideas are concerned unless of course, you are an idiot who believes in fairy tale gods and prophets like the child molester Mohammed!
@@stevebrindle1724 Oh jeeze. Buddy, I'd be on your side if you weren't an ignorant asshole. By all accounts, Jesus and Mohammed were real people. There is a great deal of primary documentation that attests to this. The secular approach to these characters is simply that they weren't much different from modern cult leaders, except that they became extremely popular. But it's just plain silly to say that Muhammed is a fairytale.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. Science will hopefully understand that they can't figure some things out because it is beyond human comprehension.
@@silknfeathers your problem might be a problem of semantics. The word 'God' might be used with the most varied of meanings of all words. Think about what this video attempts to contemplate: what is before the beginning of the universe, and even is the cause of the universe? Do we yet have a word for it? Start with a brand new word; and give it an initial meaning, such as: that which exists independently from and causes our known universe of space, time, matter, and energy. Then, by way of logic and reason, describe the attributes which are necessary for such a 'thing' to be accurately defined as such. If it exists independently of time, then it is timeless. If it exists independently of space, then it is omnipresent. If it exists while there is no matter, then it is immaterial. If it causes the beginning of all known energy and matter, then it is omnipotent. If it exists timelessly yet causes at a time, it might be considered agency. If it causes all that is known it is omniscient. Keep going. One can come up with a few more logically necessary attributes. Then you can call it what you want. You can even recognize that some people are already using a word for this. Maybe they are importing more meaning ascribed to that word than some people find comfortable. It's semantics, at that point. Or you can take the view that you don't like any of the logical conclusions about the necessary attributes, and choose instead to believe that 'nothing' could precede (or co-exist with) the moment of creation, but that is logically absurd.
There are a few basic questions about the source of the universe, for example, A. Is the concept of abstract reality rational? B. Could there be different universal rules or laws of physics, many universes (multiverse)? C. Is spacetime finite or infinite? D. Is the source of energy from a quantum field or a cyclic universe? E. And did something “just exist” or was it created? This video, th-cam.com/video/Emf6h8KwAdM/w-d-xo.html, provides a framework for a logical discussion of these “philosophical” issues. It defines what precedes the big bang in terms of nothing plus four somethings (universal rules, laws of physics, spacetime, and energy). This description provides a reference point for philosophical questions related to the four somethings (8 minute video).
To answer 'C' ... it has to be infinite! Both ways. And now some genius will mutter darkly to the effect "...it's circular, you unthinking oaf!" (Phew, than heavens-no beginning, no end.) (I might live with that, if I had faith in such genius.) But to my limited imagination every circle is simply lots of little bits until finally joined. (See where we could be going with this?) The end and beginnings of time can be answered by the same religiosi who tell us blandly that everything qua Everything is of God ... and then when you ask where did ol' God come from, who created God? You promptly get the glib "Oh no! He was/is/ever shall/will be eternal!" (At primary school in New Zealand I just about blew a fuse trying to imagine that; and once got the strap for impudence when my questions drove the teacher out of her depth.)

Our universe on my wild guess was a product of a very large black hole which reach its maximum compression of singularity causing it to explode as the big bang.

God explains how he made all things . Test His Word and see whether it aligns with what is true or not. The Big Bang is not how all life began . Entropy disproves the hypothesis.
The question I’ve always been interested in is “how long was there nothing before there was something?” It’s probably more philosophical than anything.
Matter can't be created from nothing but at one time it was. Our brains are not equipped to deal with this type of problem. There is something out there that we are completly blind to. We need more than the 5 senses that we have.

I believe, when there was nothing, there still was something, somewhere else. Like cause and effect. There was never just nothing. And at the same time, there was something, at least to the observer.
I love to watch scientists explain things about the universe that can't be proven in our life time. Maybe in a few generations we'll probably be able to if the human race will still be around that is.
No one can explain where the original energy that caused the big bang came from.I think it always existed because there is no begining only cycles of birth and death of everything including our planet,sun,etc.

I love these videos, as it gets me thinking about the universe, and just how complex everything is! I wish I had paid more attention at school, especially to the science classes
I paid attention in school, but the basic highschool fysics was pretty hard for me, so I give all the credit to Dr. Lincoln explaining this much more complicated stuff in such a way I can follow it.
Follow-up questions to consider - If the static model of universe at t=0 to consider, then what triggered the explosion? At t=0 what force could have kept the universe infinite small. And if all of space and matter was in compressed form at t=0, then what was like existence of something (space and matter) without space?
@@followme8238 yeah, but I wonder, what was beyond that infinitely small point that caused the big bang? Did it destroy, as it was expanding, something else that already existed? Or there was truly nothing beyond that point, like nothing of all nothingness, that it couldn't be even called something? Cause today science says even nothing is something, can there be a true nothing that isn't something? And how it would look like (nothing meaning not even the color black representing darkness and nothingness)?
@@belladonnahigh9206 all good questions which God may answer after our resurrection. We won’t know if our minds will be able to understand it all then - but we shouldn’t be surprised if we don’t understand it now. In Isaiah in the Bible God says ‘my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts’ after describing how He is the creator of all. Sure, it’s good for scientist to push and expand the boundaries of knowledge, but it’s not good/scientific to eliminate an alternative, like God, out of hand.
@@followme8238 I believe more in reincarnation if anything else. There may be a God, but there may be none. Those who say they found the proof for existence/nonexistence of God are both ignorant or it's wishful thinking, because a true God could exist and he can either show he exists or never do so, because he's almighty and can do anything. Unfortunately I would rather call him our Creator, as he could create us, but heaven is a myth, and he could be long gone or still be with us, depending on how time flows for him in correlation to us, or he's immortal and time doesn't matter to him. But if he's immortal, why did he create such a fragile creation such as this universe, where everything decays and dies? That would be rather a proof he's also just a mortal that created us. For all we know, we could be some alien's science class project. Afterlife is the biggest problem. He could have created us and either he doesn't care anymore and there is no heaven, or he didn't create us in mind of us going somewhere after death. But in science there is this theory that what can happen will happen, eventually, no matter how much time it takes. So I believe in reincarnation - we are a form of energy. After our death that energy transfers into something else, so maybe we will be reborn. Or the atoms that once formed us will come together again to form us again - it can happen after a very long time, Googol Plex (that number cannot be written on all the computers nor our entire planet - rather the zeroes would go from here to the visible universe and back with room to spare - that's how large this number is - it would require a computer the size of our Solar System to write it down digitally) - for us dead people time does not exist, so Googol Plex of years would pass by in a second and bam - we are alive again. We know about our universe less than 0% (I know that's impossible, but I wanted to make a point) yet we know more about it than our oceans - let that sink in. We are still relatively a very primitive civilization. What are atom bombs compared to nature's super volcanos or a damn 100 meter rock from outer space travelling 25 Km/s? Anything happens to the planet and we're history. I guess what I'm trying to say here is we, with all our smartphones really know nothing except for some basic stuff about ourselves and the universe, and the more we know the less we know. One answer creates a thousand more questions. For all we know we live in a simulation. stored on a 2d plain disc. Everything can happen. Maybe we already colonized the whole galaxy, bc we sent our seeds so to speak everywhere to start from the beginning and our forefathers did in order to save humanity, as their Sun was going hypernova. Maybe we don't resemble them 100% but we were created in their image. And thus maybe reincarnation exists. Or maybe heaven. Who knows. Or maybe nothing, which is still something according to science. It's all just speculation and wishful thinking on my part, but hey, a man can dream of a better life after this one when it sucks. Those at the beginning of their lives with great lives don't bother and even are sworn atheists. Come death time and many people turn to God, how "funny", is it not? I'm 34 and already hope there's afterlife, because my life is ridden with severe depression. Ok, I will stop now, because I'm feeling sad.
Stop all this bla-bla ! Learn, and leave the time guide the humanity to more nowledge. Infinit small is not a concept. T=0 is a fake, when at that times, it is not clear that time is at all a quantitative variable. There are a lot of thing that exists without needing any space. Their existence can be prooved today, and yaeh, we have the space to do it.

"It's not a sin to not know something. It's only a sin to think you do when you clearly don't"
- Dr. Don Lincoln
Chesky Stern it might also be a sin to say that we don’t know something when we clearly do! We do know what existed before or outside spacetime. You will see what I mean if you stop trying to make your way back to the beginning from within spacetime -when we know that the natural laws break down! Seriously that’s just being stupid. You can take yourself out of the universe one way. By finding the one solid thing that must have existed forever. Probability or probabilities. I explain the implications of this one foundation of reality in my video where I look hideous but Looks aren’t everything 😆🤷♀️
People are so sure that they don’t know but that’s patently ridiculous because you can take the whole universe as an experimental result in a way- and then we DO KNOW that there was the probability of the universe existing. We know that and that’s huge. Probability is prime. It exists without the universe. The implications of that are staggering. I explain in my video. Incidentally I am a scientist in the top 1% of IQ and I have thought about this one thing my whole life. I am not being contentious, flippant, or cute. I discuss these things with Nobel Prizewinners. He’s just wrong.

Great pure science up to 1x10-43 seconds. During this point he throws out the most obvious point and provides 3 explanations even more radical. Physics 'breaking down' is not the most obvious explanation. You can't explain physics if what you use to calculate it doesn't exist yet. Einstein's theory perfectly predicts that space, time, and matter are interdependent. That's the 'physics' relationship we have. It's pretty obvious if you don't have one you don't have any. The most logical explanation is that there was nothing as we know it. No time, matter, or space. His concept of multiple universes is also most logical mathematically, but does not need to intercept with ours.
Well, it's not like they need to be misleading. They are a real science lab (I can confirm, I have family members working there) that actually works with these things.

"It's not easy to explain difficult things in an easy way."
That's true when someone's just trying to explain something difficult.
Like a rocket engineer trying to explain how all the many facets involved in the mechanics of a rocket work together to produce a rocket that does what it's designed to do.
That would be very difficult to explain in an easy way.
But Dr Logan, I think it was, he's trying to explain the impossible.
There is no scientific method in his description. There's no science that could reveal anything about what happened before creation came into being.
And the big bang model defies the laws of physics, logic, the scientific method and common sense.
Apparently, this fantasy club actually believe they represent Christ.
Far from it. Christ taught us to trust God's word. Not change it, amend it, manipulate it, to conform with the secular ideologies of big bangs, billions of years, evolution, etc.
When, and for how long the creation event took is clearly written in the book of Genesis, and specifically, the King James version.
What God's word teaches is clear.
The only question is do you believe God's word or man's best guesses?
Because this guy is not teaching science aka observed, tested, repeatable knowledge.
He's choosing what seems most reasonable, and aligns best with the modern secular concessions.
Literally, you have to presume the big bang happened before compiling various theories about when and how it happened, what was happening prior to it, what caused it, etc.
Without your initial assumption that it happened, there is nothing to extrapolate upon.
That means it's all fantasy.
So, you tell me... What, exactly, have you actually learned from examining a long list of previous fantasies?
And if you're a Christian, believe Christ. He created the world as is, in six days, approximately 6000 years ago.
Personally, I chose to believe God's word... At least until it can be proven wrong.
And His word, as always, has proven to be, by far, the most scientifically sustainable model of the universe's origin and creation.
No model that begins with "billions of years ago" stands up to objective scrutiny.
Just the observation of the many clues just inside this solar system defy and debunk that model...
Dinosaur fossils, and fossils in general, have been proven to be but a few thousand years old, by numerous examples of the actual application of the scientific method.
Evolutionists have only one good reason to deny science every time it defies evolution. They prefer to believe there is no Creator.
But Christians don't have any good reason to deny both God and science.
Peer pressure is not a good reason, btw.
Leave God out of it and just stand by the actual unbiased, objective, tested and repeated observable facts.
Bio matter has a half-life of about 520 years, tops. Period. End of discussion.
Rescuing devises are not how science moves forward.
The bible, ancient textual human history, archeology, fossils, and the objectivity of the scientific method, just to name a few, all favor God's word, at all times, and in all things.
But Christians need to learn to trust God...
At least until His word has been demonstrably proven wrong.
If anyone could have done that, there would be no bible.
It's loaded from top to bottom, side to side, cover to cover with specific people, places, things, times, dates, prophecies, world renowned events, and more...
If it was all made up, it would be the easiest thing in the world to debunk.

I'm a fairly intelligent person holding bachelor degrees in biology (with a minor in chemistry), medical technology, and nursing, in that order. I'm a retired R.N. about 10 years now. In all that schooling, I thereby have an almost total science background. Out of all that science, I've only had 2 courses in physics that didn't require calculus. Those 2 courses would be Physical Chemistry, which are the booger bears of physics courses! I guess that explains why I was only able to fully comprehend his concepts.

Theoretical Implications
Either the universe has the properties of a hologram.
Or the hologram has the properties of a universe.
What is the Universe?
The universe is a black hole. And every black hole is a universe.
The big bang is the collapse of our black hole into a singularity, creating a universe in its interior.
The universe is a black hole contained in a parent universe with the same laws of physics and other black holes.
The 7th dimension of string theory is the plane of possible universes with the same laws of physics but different initial conditions.

The problem is that we only have a small sample size, taken over a tiny period of time, and from one infinitesimally small spot in the universe. Our perspective is fixed, and we have to make many assumptions based only on the tiny snippets of information we can collect at that point. It's like sampling the air one inch above the ground outside your front door for a week, and then trying to describe the whole of the Earth's atmosphere in minute detail, just from those readings. Yet even with millions of weather measurements taken around the globe every day, dozens of weather satellites in orbit, and vast amounts of computing power running simulations, we still don't have the granularity to accurately predict the exact conditions at that one spot at any point in time. Now imagine this on a universal scale.
And what if our assumptions are totally wrong?
How true ! Humans are overfilled of fake certitudes

“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned”.
@Larry Chappell The elephant in the room is that before the big bang there was nothing (no time, no space, no mass, no energy). Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created... The physical laws of time and space, and the relationship of mass and energy, and all atomic values defined in the first microsecond. Since God created them he operated outside those parameters and is in no way limited by them in any way. So what was before the big bang we can never know...until we die and then it won't matter.
Apparently the universe is a one-time event. It was created, will exist for a period of time (approximately 145 billion years) then the "Big Rip" will end it all with all mass reduced to sub-atomic particles and be rolled up like a scroll.

Its perfectly reasonable and entirely honest to say there exists a consensus if indeed a consensus does exist. There are many scientific explanations for which there is indisputably a consensus.

It may be that you personally don't like those explanations because (perhaps) they conflict with your preferred religious narrative, but it is demonstrably true that they represent the scientific consensus on those issues.

When I was a kid, one of my classmates used to argue that our universe (and its expansion) is simply the other side of some other parallel universe's black hole. We debated and argued over this idea throughout the fifth grade.
As the saying goes: "If you can't show it, you don't know it." I will admit I've had the same idea myself, and it's a fun one, but there's problems about the questions of energy quantity and why black holes don't seem to lose any coherent level of mass, although the search for Hawking radiation is still on.
Janet Jeppsen (Mrs Isaac Asimov) wrote a novel about that very idea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Asimov "The Last Immortal" (1980) (as J. O. Jeppson)
that's the holographic principle, based on information thought to be imprinted on a black hole's event horizon, which was established as the solution to the information paradox by stephen hawking i think. Then speculation arose that the same thing could apply to our whole universe, all the universe as information imprinted on a two dimensional hologram, either encircling our universe or imprinted on a black hole's event horizon. This encouraged further speculation taking the idea to its most extreme conclusion-the simulation hypothesis. Holographic principle though merely speculative is way more sensible than the latter. But that's only relatively speaking.
They are both fringe ideas. Indeed two experiments have been done to test for the holographic principle, one was to test for the equivalent of pixels in the structure of space-time. If this is holographic, then space will be pixelated. However so far no pixelation has been found. Another experiment, this one non lab based, used telescopes to measure the journey of different types of electromagnetic waves, specifically if space-time is not a smooth membrane like medium, then Fermi's LAT would have detected a significant time lag between the arrival of the lowest-energy and highest-energy gamma rays. In fact, to within one part in 100 million billion, the two photons traveled at the same speed. Many approaches to new theories of gravity picture space-time as having a shifting, frothy structure at physical scales trillions of times smaller than an electron. Some models predict that the foamy aspect of space-time will cause higher-energy gamma rays to move slightly more slowly than photons at lower energy.
Such a model would violate Einstein's edict that all electromagnetic radiation -- radio waves, infrared, visible light, X-rays and gamma rays -- travels through a vacuum at the same speed.
Fermi showed that pixelation or rough 'texture' in space-time may not exist at all. So far the smoothness of the space-time continuum has been confirmed. So that's NO to the holographic principle or simulation hypothesis. It confirms the aether/vacuum conventional idea, supported by Einstein and his predecessors which describes spacetime as euclidean.
However all this fringe speculation, especially occupying populist 'science' circles, started with the information paradox black hole problem, which I'm not satisfied is solved, and I don't even think it's that great a problem-energy can't be created or destroyed, information can't be lost. These rules may not apply in extreme situations e.g. at the high energy and temperatures just after time equals zero st the big bang our laws of physics did not apply. And similarly things break down in black holes-which are the most extreme predictions derived from General relativity's mathematics-all the tensor and vector calculus. the schwarzschild metric and the kerr metric describes the physics of black holes, and it's pretty crazy,the maths says in a kerr black hole you can visit your own past. Black holes spin space and time. All real black holes are spinning black holes. The angular momentum of the star thay collapsed, plus the material the black hole devows, even at a quantum level, the angular momentum of every fermion and boson means black holes always rotate. A paper in the astrophysical journal detailed how gamma ray bursts seem to produce superluminal motion, with superluminal gamma waves being time reversed.. gamma ray burst only happen in very extreme cosmological events and therefore are another example of where our laws of physics may break down to produce faster than light travel through space under that unique condition. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab3bdf
It doesn't make sense cause what would've caused that universe. And then that universe and then that and then that and then that universe. There must be a beginning

I don't know why I watch these videos that talk about this specific "what came before" subject expecting an answer. Regardless of how interesting and how well they answer this question, the answer is inevitably going to be the same: we just don't know. It is amazing that they know as much as they do.
Actually there's a very great deal we do know, and it's not flattering.
Einstein said: "thermodynamics is the one theory of universal content which will never be overthrown".
Arthur Eddington made Einstein Einstein. He said: "if your theory challenges thermodynamics there is no hope for you other than total humiliation".
These theorists, well-intentioned or other(Brian Greene), put bread on their
table with their theories. NO ONE grants $$$ to respond to, "we don't know and
there's every reason to think we never will". So reasonably they HAVE to propose
hypotheses. But NOTHING is suggested that doesn't conflict prima facie with
thermodynamics. 1st Law disallows heat from cold: this universe of heat from "nothing"(cold). 2nd Law demands that heat goes only to cold: this universe of heat
would have distributed to cold if eternal....it has not so it's not eternal.
NOTICE NONE of them EVER refer to a reconciliation with thermodynamics.
NOT because they don't have it...OF COURSE THEY DON'T. But because NO ONE
EVER voices the words; "thermodynamics is wrong". It's the clergy saying "there's no God"; THEIR JOB IS OVER!!
(some clown will suggest quantum physics; QM can NEVER conflict with "conservation laws".)
Don Lincoln here did not properly explain what actually occurred before existence expanded out of the singularity. The singularity is where/when all this existence was merged into, you got it, a "singularity". What is this singularity? This is energy at its maximum level of intensity, an infinite level of intensity. It is not possible to go beyond an infinite/maximum level of energy which is why we can logically conclude the singularity does not have a beginning. As existence expands, the level of energy decreases, and will continue decreasing until its minimum level of intensity, even if it takes an eternity to get there.

Anything _anyone_ has to say on the actual _origin_ of the matter, energy, space, and time involved in that expansion, whether the person be of secular persuasion or theological, is a matter taken on the basis of neither empiricism nor rationalism.

It reminds me of a boss I had once whose philosophy was that if he couldn't understand something within the first 5 seconds it did not and could not make any sense and can thus be disregarded. How he got to be my boss is also something incomprehensible: hm, maybe he didn't really exist.
Technically your saying it's a sin to lie ok
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

There is a great deal of primary documentation that attests to this.

The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
@Andy Solomons Well, it's certainly simple for you...
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. Science will hopefully understand that they can't figure some things out because it is beyond human comprehension.
Sounds like Hitchhikers Guide to me....
@@claytonrealist8868 So why do you think you can place a god in there, if it is "beyond human comprehension"?
@@silknfeathers your problem might be a problem of semantics. The word 'God' might be used with the most varied of meanings of all words.
Think about what this video attempts to contemplate: what is before the beginning of the universe, and even is the cause of the universe? Do we yet have a word for it?
Start with a brand new word; and give it an initial meaning, such as: that which exists independently from and causes our known universe of space, time, matter, and energy. Then, by way of logic and reason, describe the attributes which are necessary for such a 'thing' to be accurately defined as such.
If it exists independently of time, then it is timeless. If it exists independently of space, then it is omnipresent. If it exists while there is no matter, then it is immaterial. If it causes the beginning of all known energy and matter, then it is omnipotent. If it exists timelessly yet causes at a time, it might be considered agency. If it causes all that is known it is omniscient. Keep going.
One can come up with a few more logically necessary attributes. Then you can call it what you want. You can even recognize that some people are already using a word for this. Maybe they are importing more meaning ascribed to that word than some people find comfortable. It's semantics, at that point.
Or you can take the view that you don't like any of the logical conclusions about the necessary attributes, and choose instead to believe that 'nothing' could precede (or co-exist with) the moment of creation, but that is logically absurd.
i wish i'd had an instructor like you when i was an undergrad -- at 81 and very published, i still know nothing.
There are a few basic questions about the source of the universe, for example,
A. Is the concept of abstract reality rational?
B. Could there be different universal rules or laws of physics, many universes (multiverse)?
C. Is spacetime finite or infinite?
D. Is the source of energy from a quantum field or a cyclic universe?
E. And did something “just exist” or was it created?
This video, th-cam.com/video/Emf6h8KwAdM/w-d-xo.html, provides a framework for a logical discussion of these “philosophical” issues. It defines what precedes the big bang in terms of nothing plus four somethings (universal rules, laws of physics, spacetime, and energy). This description provides a reference point for philosophical questions related to the four somethings (8 minute video).
To answer 'C' ... it has to be infinite! Both ways. And now some genius will mutter darkly to the effect "...it's circular, you unthinking oaf!" (Phew, than heavens-no beginning, no end.) (I might live with that, if I had faith in such genius.) But to my limited imagination every circle is simply lots of little bits until finally joined. (See where we could be going with this?)
The end and beginnings of time can be answered by the same religiosi who tell us blandly that everything qua Everything is of God ... and then when you ask where did ol' God come from, who created God? You promptly get the glib "Oh no! He was/is/ever shall/will be eternal!" (At primary school in New Zealand I just about blew a fuse trying to imagine that; and once got the strap for impudence when my questions drove the teacher out of her depth.)
@@johnhough7738 If that's the case and U don't understand then simply ask your own self a question "Did ALL of this happened 'automatically' OR Was it 'created?', find an answer to that question and U'll know your own one"

Now that I've bitten the bait, let me ask in return:
Who then, created That First Creator?
@@johnhough7738 U already have an answer
No One since he's already there
What else were U expecting. Tell me something, can a computer made by us know everything about us, comprehend us without us ever telling it anything about us
The answer is no, it cant.
Yes Humans are special and not like machines. We have imaginations, conciousness, creativity, intelligence and many others BUT we're not perfect.
Scintist would say, I cant comprehend the concept of god and that's the greatest joke in the world.
We can't even comprehend his creations and yet we're trying to comprehend him? It's like beginning point is zero but we directly jump to million, asking whats there. How would we know whats there without first knowing everything below that point
Anyway, tell me one fact which contradicts the existance of a higher power.
The evolution theory? That stuff contradicts itself and is faar from complete. Again tell me, can it explain of how if every living organism evolved from a preexisting one then how is it that only humans have all those gifts while others don't
Anyway tell me one fact
@@allaction7816 "The evolution theory? That stuff contradicts itself and is faar from complete. Again tell me, can it explain of how if every living organism evolved from a preexisting one then how is it that only humans have all those gifts while others don't"
That's not the problem of evolutionthat'ss your lack of understanding.
How is it that only humans have all those gifts while others don't"
Every animal has a "gift" If that is what you want to call it. They simply evolved differently based on the environment they are in, and what gifts do humans have that animals do not? As someone who studies animals I can tell you we have a lot more in common with animals than the average ignorant person knows.
video title: What happened before the Big Bang?
me: well, obviously the Big Foreplay
Two and a Half Men before and Young Sheldon later....
Our universe on my wild guess was a product of a very large black hole which reach its maximum compression of singularity causing it to explode as the big bang.
@@olivernald I have a few black holes in mind. Some are a bit on the brown side though
There is no before...the BB is a perpetual. This means the entire universe is constantly recycling itself...it's a process machine.

Big Bang theory is Bullshit. No one was there!!!!!!
Or were " they" ? 🧐
God explains how he made all things . Test His Word and see whether it aligns with what is true or not. The Big Bang is not how all life began . Entropy disproves the hypothesis.
Any layman can know what Gods teaches.
@@mikebrunet54 Yea, why should we listen to modern science when we have a 2000 years old book with fairy tales to learn from.
The question I’ve always been interested in is “how long was there nothing before there was something?” It’s probably more philosophical than anything.
The singularity consisted of absolutely all the energy in the universe. It wasn't nothing
@@drsatan3231 Wrong. There was no "singularity". There was no "Big Bang'
Matter can't be created from nothing but at one time it was. Our brains are not equipped to deal with this type of problem. There is something out there that we are completly blind to. We need more than the 5 senses that we have.
@@picanto12 Matter can't be created from nothing but at one time it was. Our brains are not equipped to deal with this type of problem. There is something out there that we are completly blind to. We need more than the 5 senses that we have.
I believe, when there was nothing, there still was something, somewhere else. Like cause and effect. There was never just nothing. And at the same time, there was something, at least to the observer.
I love to watch scientists explain things about the universe that can't be proven in our life time. Maybe in a few generations we'll probably
be able to if the human race will still be around that is.
No one can explain where the original energy that caused the big bang came from.I think it always existed because there is no begining only cycles of birth and death of everything including our planet,sun,etc.

I love these videos, as it gets me thinking about the universe, and just how complex everything is! I wish I had paid more attention at school, especially to the science classes
It's never too late to learn!
I paid attention in school, but the basic highschool fysics was pretty hard for me, so I give all the credit to Dr. Lincoln explaining this much more complicated stuff in such a way I can follow it.
Bringing the light of knowledge! Combing curiosity with scientific enquiry.
Good stuff
Awesomely riveting Dr DON LINCOLN. Can't get better!!
Follow-up questions to consider - If the static model of universe at t=0 to consider, then what triggered the explosion? At t=0 what force could have kept the universe infinite small. And if all of space and matter was in compressed form at t=0, then what was like existence of something (space and matter) without space?
Oh that’s and easy one: the Lord snapped his fingers like Thanos and pop! everything started
@@followme8238 yeah, but I wonder, what was beyond that infinitely small point that caused the big bang? Did it destroy, as it was expanding, something else that already existed? Or there was truly nothing beyond that point, like nothing of all nothingness, that it couldn't be even called something? Cause today science says even nothing is something, can there be a true nothing that isn't something? And how it would look like (nothing meaning not even the color black representing darkness and nothingness)?
@@belladonnahigh9206 all good questions which God may answer after our resurrection. We won’t know if our minds will be able to understand it all then - but we shouldn’t be surprised if we don’t understand it now. In Isaiah in the Bible God says ‘my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts’ after describing how He is the creator of all.
Sure, it’s good for scientist to push and expand the boundaries of knowledge, but it’s not good/scientific to eliminate an alternative, like God, out of hand.
@@followme8238 I believe more in reincarnation if anything else. There may be a God, but there may be none. Those who say they found the proof for existence/nonexistence of God are both ignorant or it's wishful thinking, because a true God could exist and he can either show he exists or never do so, because he's almighty and can do anything. Unfortunately I would rather call him our Creator, as he could create us, but heaven is a myth, and he could be long gone or still be with us, depending on how time flows for him in correlation to us, or he's immortal and time doesn't matter to him. But if he's immortal, why did he create such a fragile creation such as this universe, where everything decays and dies? That would be rather a proof he's also just a mortal that created us. For all we know, we could be some alien's science class project.
Afterlife is the biggest problem. He could have created us and either he doesn't care anymore and there is no heaven, or he didn't create us in mind of us going somewhere after death.
But in science there is this theory that what can happen will happen, eventually, no matter how much time it takes. So I believe in reincarnation - we are a form of energy. After our death that energy transfers into something else, so maybe we will be reborn. Or the atoms that once formed us will come together again to form us again - it can happen after a very long time, Googol Plex (that number cannot be written on all the computers nor our entire planet - rather the zeroes would go from here to the visible universe and back with room to spare - that's how large this number is - it would require a computer the size of our Solar System to write it down digitally) - for us dead people time does not exist, so Googol Plex of years would pass by in a second and bam - we are alive again. We know about our universe less than 0% (I know that's impossible, but I wanted to make a point) yet we know more about it than our oceans - let that sink in. We are still relatively a very primitive civilization. What are atom bombs compared to nature's super volcanos or a damn 100 meter rock from outer space travelling 25 Km/s?
Anything happens to the planet and we're history.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is we, with all our smartphones really know nothing except for some basic stuff about ourselves and the universe, and the more we know the less we know. One answer creates a thousand more questions. For all we know we live in a simulation. stored on a 2d plain disc. Everything can happen. Maybe we already colonized the whole galaxy, bc we sent our seeds so to speak everywhere to start from the beginning and our forefathers did in order to save humanity, as their Sun was going hypernova. Maybe we don't resemble them 100% but we were created in their image.
And thus maybe reincarnation exists. Or maybe heaven. Who knows. Or maybe nothing, which is still something according to science. It's all just speculation and wishful thinking on my part, but hey, a man can dream of a better life after this one when it sucks.
Those at the beginning of their lives with great lives don't bother and even are sworn atheists. Come death time and many people turn to God, how "funny", is it not? I'm 34 and already hope there's afterlife, because my life is ridden with severe depression.
Ok, I will stop now, because I'm feeling sad.
Stop all this bla-bla ! Learn, and leave the time guide the humanity to more nowledge. Infinit small is not a concept. T=0 is a fake, when at that times, it is not clear that time is at all a quantitative variable. There are a lot of thing that exists without needing any space. Their existence can be prooved today, and yaeh, we have the space to do it.
