Simon, will you be testing this product personally? If so can you share your results
Simon we need DTU March 8 1994 Michigan Please make it happen
They only ship inside the US - how useless is that?!
@@davidmaxwaterman It’s great if you’re not in the US, you won’t get ripped off with a shady product.
Won't this just cause people to drink more? It might break down the toxins but the alcohol will still damage the liver, kidneys etc. A hangover is your body's way of telling you you've had too much.
I'm reminded of the Calvin and Hobbes strip with the punchline "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
That's my go-to line also .. very appropriate, it seems.
To more advanced life forms humans probably look like a train wreck. They know if they come we will try to kill them.
Why would aliens wanna visit a bunch of stupid monkeys fighting over shiny rocks and skin color?
Aliens that fly past earth roll their windows up and lock their doors, this is a dangerous side of space.
@@rossigrace5031 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the ones disregarding the warning broadcasts regret it. They end up in alien autopsy vids on TH-cam.
I quite like Dr. Carolyn Crawford's suggestion that instead of Dark Energy we call it Magic Pushy Stuff. Gives a much better impression of how little we know about it.
It is hard to get funding for Magic Pushy Stuff… Much earier to dark matter investigation 😂
1:53 every question answer brings forth 10 questions we can’t yet answer .
The brilliance of science is that it open doors to bigger mysteries, it’s not dogmatic and the most exciting thing for a scientist is finding proof they are wrong
It's incredible but also makes me feels like astrophysicists and astronomers could hear someone say "the universe is the inside of an infinite basketball" and just be like "bitch it might be" bc of how many unanswered questions they have
I once heard a Physics Professor complain that they get inundated with letters from ignorant laymen who espouse ridiculous theories and who think they’re the next Einstein. A Simon video about space has much the same result 😂
I must say - Mr Whistler will, some years for now, narrate a number of very influential documentaries. Never knew why until I heard him now. Very amazing orator.
2:16 what caused the big bang?
4:49 where did all the antimatter go?
7:14 where are all the aliens?
11:19 what is dark matter?
13:45 dark energy
Oh cool the same rehashed video made surely for the ads.
The fuck I'm making this comment and mans still talking about snake oil biotics.
Channels dead fam
@@sa.8208 then don't watch or comment?
Leave it to those who do enjoy it.
@@archstanton6102 S A T U R A T I O N
Thank you for the timestamps!
@@archstanton6102 I enjoy sci-fi too. It's as real as dark matter. These vids are well done, I like 'em.
I think you need one more channel...how about one doing just space related content? Your delivery is so engaging I think it would do awesome. Love your stuff man
The sad part is with the progress of science and technology there is almost no doubt we would understand all of these questions in 100,000 years let alone a few million. That being said the chance of us surviving that long without killing ourselves is significant.
Truest comment ever.
Yea, humans are so good at killing ourselves the population just reached 8 billion. If it's "in our nature to destroy ourselves" we're not very good at it. Oh that's right, man-made climate change. "Most" scientists agree, and yet none of their predictions come true.
@@ezrareviewshisalbums2735 You being a cynical A-hole, pretty much confirms it. How does reproducing have ANYTHING to do with NOT killing each other? If anything, it only increases the chances. You didn't think this through, did you? LMAO!
That’s genuinely the truest statement in humanity it’s like we have all these questions we want to go explore we want to meet a different species but we don’t try and it’s sad because I think majority of humanity can agree we are embarrassed of ourselves the fact we didn’t show any form of war or violence when we sent out the only evidence of our existence as a species and what we’ve done kinda sad
@Rusty Shaklferd Make no mistake: "we" (meaning me at least) already understand(s) these phenomenon. Don't mistake "authority" for "science". I've told you and other about this for years. In a static universe with virtually "contracting" content (objects and time scales), dark matter is "rescaling", as is "red shift", "time frame dilation", "nonlocality", "or "favorable genome selection". Rescaling is a generic property of mapping and a function holding between any two states and among all states (of reality, at any level of mapping).
"Where is everybody?" If there are civilizations in other star systems more advanced than our own, what makes us think we could detect them? We're leery of announcing our own presence. And if they're less advanced, they'd be very hard to detect. The chance of there being a civilization that's almost precisely matched with our current level of technological development is virtually nil.
I like NDT's take on the term "Dark Matter". He says, it shouldn't really be called "matter", because we don't know if it IS matter. It should be called "Dark Gravity", because all we know about it is it's gravity, but with our understanding of the universe, the only thing which can generate gravity is matter, so we call it this. However, maybe our understanding of the universe is slightly off, and something not matter is making all this extra gravity around us. But he also said at the end that this is just arguing over a name, and there are plenty of theorists out there who are looking for an explanation of this gravity without the need to find this extra invisible mass.
Cool! I was too tired to make this comment about "Dark" "Matter" only being "Something" that we infer or observe as having a Gravitational Influence on Fermionic Matter.
As much as I truly love Simon, sadly, he shouldn't keep making Physics Videos, because he's so truly out of his depths that he conveys information that is misleading. Some things might appear to merely be minor nitpicks, but let's be real: everytime there's a Physics video, there are always issues with the very fundamentals... And this, for anyone scientifically oriented, is simply unacceptable, as it's the whole foundation upon which anyone who listens to this thinking they're learning stuff that is faulty and will fail them or make them fail at some point...
I used to believe that Simon could present ANYTHING on ANY SUBJECT, but no. These things take Physicists to explain. With the extremely important added bonus that they'll be talking about their passion, about what moves them and fuels their lives and dreams! Such as NDT!
Simon still has almost every other subjects available to him!
Energy (acceleration) also produces "gravity."
Mass is just energy with no momentum. Matter usually means fermions. Right handed weak bosons could mess that up.
@@DrDeuteron "Resting" mass, perhaps, but special relativity shows that nothing is resting; everything is moving relative to something else.
So glad you shared this! It gave me another great perspective
I am someone very interested in these topics and am impressed by how good of an overview you gave. It was very clear and accurate. I usually watch these for fun on topics I have little familiarity with, but was pleasantly surprised with how well done this one is.
Nice, when watching these kind if videos I often think: what someone who knows their stuff about be topic thinks of the video.
Indeed considering his main focus was odd things in news or history, very impressed with how well he understands it all and the scripts seem just punchy enough to attract those totally new, yet also a little depth for those who know a bit more. For those who want to learn more, I highly recommend PBS Spacetime for theory and speculations, and Anton Petrov for observations and things currently being puzzled over. Sabine Hosssenfelder is also great but I've not seen much of her stuff yet. Just glad she calls things out like the Religious Zealotry of people obsessing over the unfalsifiable multiverse concepts. It could be true, so what? Cannot ever prove it. Cannot ever get there.
I personally am not convinced by the CDM Hypothesis, but I would be happy to be proven wrong. I do think perhaps MOND might have a little truth to it. Our perspective on how gravity works has been entirely Earth-centric until more recently. Also disagreeing measurements over the rate of expansion of the universe causes me to question Dark Energy, which is believed with almost religious fervour.
I'm no professional at Physics or anything at all, except I am actually the logical thinker that many think they are, because their egos and emotions tell them they are. Constantly challenging my own assumptions, beliefs and trying to minimise the Confirmation Bias we all have, including me.
@@TheHorseshoePartyUK ty will look up spacetime and Hossenfelder! I to really like Petrov so am glad to get some new people to be amazed at😂. Btw I love your last paragraph! I feel the exact same. I have put an effort into digging deep into others' believes and love to be proved wrong, (eventhough many think I don't) it just means I learned something new! Makes working with my employer kinda complicated though. Found out after 2 years he is full on creationist who hardly knows the bible, didn't know who/what Besos, Musk, Amazon or Wallmart (&many more) are. I did suddenly understand better why he doesn't use, think or listen to logic.😏 lol this comment was supposed to be just a thank you😅.
@@Iris_and_or_George Tell me you're ADHD without telling me you're ADHD :P
😂😂😂😂
Hundreds of years from now, scientists will be asking another great question: "What came first, the Twitter or the stupid?".
The Fermi Paradox has never bothered me. Let's assume we are average. It took 13 billion years from T=0 for us to get where we are now, which is life emitting detectable waves out into the universe. Everything we can see that is beyond our immediate proximity is in the past still. We look out at an earlier universe that hasn't caught up to us yet.
But there’s no reason to think the process takes EXACTLY as long as it took for us every time. Also, the Fermi paradox applies very well to our own galaxy, not just the rest of the universe. That is hardly looking “back in time” at all.
Add that our radio bubble at it's widest was maybe 25ly across(it's currently less than 10 and shrinking) Outside of that we would just look like a slightly noisy star.
The only signals likely to be picked up at a distance are extremely directional, which has other issues.
And our meti efforts like the aricebo are basically going to be some other civilization's version of the 'wow' signal.
What's your point tho? FP doesn't bother you and then you talk about speed of light(basically). It's like two half thoughts merged into one.
Yeah, time is the ultimate hurdle. Entire races of intelligent life have time evolve into and out existence within a blink of an eye on a galactic scale. The odds 2 races could evolve close enough to mutually detect each other within the span of their existence is remote. Even the human race is likely to evolve into some form of crab within the next millennia
The aliens are out there, but the universe is mindbogglingly huge. There's no reason to think other intelligent life know we exist or have interstellar travel.
I love it when Simon Whistler talks about PHYSICS because he's normally good but at this he especially rocks. I'm a trained physicsts and the man is always ON THE MONEY when it comes to physics, very impressive for a non physics academic.
Same here with one gripe; Fermi's paradox. An advanced alien civilization will not be using radio to communicate over vast interstellar distances. It's ridiculously inefficient and ridiculously insecure (even with encryption it still gives away your general location). We've already begun using lasers to communicate with satellites in orbit due to the increased bandwidth it offers. E.T is going to be using lasers or some other crazy technology we haven't discovered yet. And if E.T is not using radio, then we haven't even begun looking for aliens yet -- hence there is no paradox.
Actu7ally he gets the Big Bang wrong, so yeah...
He is neither nor wrong nobody knows what dark matter or it would have an actual name
@@con.troller4183what about it does he get wrong?
@@con.troller4183 so did Einstein, so I might just let that one slip 😂
"Where are all the aliens?" Living in the dark forest and not painting targets on their backs, broadcasting unfiltered RF signals into space.
In terms of the Fermi paradox I both love and hate the dead space idea that there WAS other life out there but we're just suuuuuuper late to the party and everyone else is already dead
I want to see a 48 live stream where Simon takes the Zbiotics then gets absoloutely trollied. BRING IT ON FACT BOY! btw I love your content
I've always liked the theory that dark matter, being only noticed because it has gravity and affects spacetime, is just regular matter in parallel universes. Which would basically mean that the various galaxies in all these parallel universes are holding each other together. Which would also explain why gravity appears to be so much weaker than the other forces. What if gravity only appears to be so weak because it's the only force that propagates through parallel universes. In which case, that would not only mean that parallel universes exist, but that they also affect each other. Meaning that not only could we prove the existence of parallel universes, but that movement between parallel universes might actually be possible.
Your theory, here, is exactly my own. Dark matter is nonsense, it's just matter.
One problem with that.....black holes. If gravity stacked through parallel worlds would make black holes strong enough to tear galaxies apart.
@@craigh5236 But doesn't that assume that the black holes in various dimensions perfectly "overlap"? If they were at different spatial coordinates in different universes, the gravity wouldn't "stack" perfectly. I know I'm phrasing this weirdly, but it's difficult to communicate these ideas.
This theory is one of the long lasting reasons why gravity is weak.
Maybe we just stack... In a dimensional sense. When enough mass is accumulated you push on another dimension or parallel universe. That way it would be severely weakened. Kinda like stacking trampolines. I mean that's my theory unless they actually observe the particles somehow
I wouldn't be surprised that dark matter is what was the ether once upon a time. Everyone is so sure of it's existence like they were about previous "magical stuff "
There is nothing magical about dark matter. It has effects, many different, independent effects, and those effects need an explanation. Some form of matter is the most likely explanation.
The thunderboltsproject channel has really good counter solutions for dark matter
Technically, singularity is a theory built if you keep walking the math back, but most physicists don't believe there was an actual point
Is it possible, like the layman grasping the concept of infinity, that scientists can't grasp the concept of nothing?
I'm not sure anyone can actually grasp the concept of nothing. I mean, nothing, after all and by its very definition, simply does not exist. The word is literally the conjunction of the two words "no" and "thing." It's like dividing a whole number by two again and again and again, forever. No matter how many quadrillions of times it's done, you'll still be left with a number each time. In my opinion, infinity (whether or not it is a real thing) is a much easier concept to grasp than the concept of nothing. I would therefore conclude that there is very obviously no such thing as nothing. Given that, how could anyone possibly grasp a concept that is obviously impossible? To put it another way, if one claims that they CAN grasp the concept of nothing, they clearly haven't thought the whole thing through.
Imagine needing Z biotics to not be hungover. I have the power of all legends and have become immune to hangovers by sheer will and Mcdonalds
This video is exceptional for inspiring contemplation. I will save it to watch again.
A couple of my own ideas. 1. Where is the antimatter? It could actually be out there. As far as I know antimatter's spectra look the sane as regular matter, so maybe some galactic superclusters are antimatter, which might be possible because superclusters are often isolated enough that there might not be much intermingling of matter and antimatter. 2. The Fermi paradox might simply be a combination of distance, and very quiet radio chatter (advanced equipment just doesn't need a super strong signal). Even we're going dark, because we don't need to spew gigawatts of radio to send our data. 3. Dark matter, at this point we seem to be making sh*t up to make our calculations work. 4. Dark Energy, could that simply be the inertia caused by the big bang, which might be resulting in more distant objects receding faster, possibly because those objects are also further back in time. There are a lot of possible simple explanations that fit Occum's razor a bit more eligantly than trying to make up a new particle or saying there are no aliens.
1. Antimatter gives a distinctive signature when it interacts with regular matter. Space is full of dust. If there was any bunch of antimatter, it would light up as it annihilated from the intergalactic dust. 2. Any mildly advanced(we're not) civilization would give off a distinct signature just from the amount of energy they would use. Simple thermodynamics dictates that any large consumption of energy should show up as strong infrared sources. Hiding this signature would be incredibly difficult and would require deliberate effort to mask their existence. Any civilization that would have access to this kind of energy would be able to fully populate an entire galaxy in short order. 3. The Dark Matter phenomenon is an objective measurement that cannot be explained. Dark Matter as a thing is anyone's guess. We're about as sure of Dark Matter existing as gravity existing. Neither can be properly explained. My analogy with gravity is more apt than you think. 4. Far away objects are moving away from us faster than light. This cannot happen because nothing can move through space faster than light. One of the few options remaining is that space itself is expanding.
The main problem with postulating antimatter galaxies or galaxy clusters is that 1. intergalactic space isn't empty, and 2. galaxies aren't fully self-contained. There is matter in intergalactic space, a thinly spread veil of hydrogen and other atoms. And if you had a galaxy made of antimatter, then it's antimatter will inevitably come into contact with the matter in intergalactic space, and the two will annihilate, producing gamma rays. And we would be able to detect this as a faint halo of gamma rays coming from the edges of every antimatter galaxy. Indeed, because of 2, it's even worse than that. Because the material inside galaxies doesn't necessarily stay inside galaxies. Galaxies are constantly ejecting bits of themselves out into intergalactic space, through quasar jets, supernovae explosions, or simple gravitational interactions ejecting asteroids, planets, or even full star systems. All of this material ends up in intergalactic space, to mingle with all the other material ejected by all the other galaxies. Antimatter galaxies would do exactly the same thing. Which means that, if antimatter and matter were equal in amount as theories predicted, then there should be equal numbers of antimatter galaxies spewing antimatter into intergalactic space as there are matter galaxies doing this, and there would therefore be equal amounts of antimatter and matter in intergalactic space. And this of course, means a continuous stream of antimatter-matter encounters with mutual annihilation, producing gamma rays, and we would observe all of intergalactic space positively glowing with a faint shimmer of gamma rays. Which of course, we do not.
And even more spectacularly, galaxies and galaxy clusters sometimes merge. And if there were equal numbers of antimatter galaxies as there are matter galaxies in the universe, it should mean that half of all observed in-progress galaxy mergers would involve an antimatter galaxy merging with a matter one, with galactic levels of matter-antimatter annihilation events, and that should be one hell of a spectacular sight which would be utterly impossible for us to miss here on Earth. And we see nothing of the sort.
"Distant objects travel away from us faster than c"
This not actually true in ANY reference frame. The reference frame people use when they say this is some sort of a nonlocalised reference frame that does not exist in real life.
What we actually see is stuff redshifted into being so dim we cant see it anymore, with the CMB forming an opaque wall behind it all that only LIGO can see through, and LIGO has insufficient resolution to do the job.
@@BenjaminCronce on point 2, you are presuming that we have full knowledge of how heat and energy work.
Thats the main problem with the second law of thermal dynamics argument.
Its true, provided there is no more knowledge to be understood on the subject.
And to me, that spells arrogance.
👽We are the aliens 👾
Love your videos Simon keep up the great work 👍
Okay so at the end of the ad read for zbiotics it showed a bowl of natto. So I'm piecing together that natto shares the same qualities that this probiotic does that helps prevent hangovers the next day.
So either I can have a bowl of fermented soybeans known for their mucus like slimey texture and rotten smell, or I can take a single pill... decisions decisions... 💊❤
At least with the soybeans you know you're getting the good bacteria... and you get a meal. You gonna run a test to see if all your pills are true? Decisions, haha.
@@ungoyone Yeah I'm just trying to hype up my man Simon in case by some chance the company checks out viewer feedback in the comments cause I like him getting that sweet sweet advertiser cash 🤩
I've tried natto once straight up and honestly I couldn't finish it, but it's something I've always wanted to enjoy 😅 If I can find the right recipe or way to make a meal with it that works for my tastes i would be very satisfied. I happily acknowledge it would be a super beneficial food to add to my regular diet.
Another mystery - how Simon manages to run so many channels!
Is he an individual or is he a clone (Simon of Borg)?
Your subscription will be assimilated. Resistance is futile
stuff like this always makes me think about the starch contrast on our planet, at this moment there are people struggling to get food and water. and others are trying to solve the mysteries of the universe, crazy.
There is always the chances that even though the maths make sense. We figure out some day in that future that we were wrong and that we've based years of study on an incorrect understanding of the universe. Thats humbling thought.
You know your addiction is bad when you need to drink something before you drink alcohol so you can get wasted and not feel it in the morning.
I failed physics at school, but love your videos today. Thanks so much. xo
Never took physics...this video made me not remorseful of that fact.
The reason there is an universe is down to particles like the Kaon, which have 2 ways to decay. One is complete annihilation and the other leaves a particle left over.
As per comment below I would say consciousness is "THE" mystery of the universe, we have absolutely no real understanding of what it is but without it we wouldn't even be able to ponder the riddles of the "physical" universe. I believe consciousness has always been around in one form or another, cannot be destroyed like energy or matter and manifests itself in different forms, we all experience it subjectively but are ultimately linked to everything else in the universe, as per Eastern philosophies and Holographic theory, quantum entanglement etc.
Because if it is one thing Eastern philosophies are known for, it is their tether to reality.
There is a maximum red shift, thus there could be more that we can't see. This could F everything up.
Whether it is real or not the fact remains, we are missing something BIG! Like 90% of the mass of the universe. And our present calculations are so spot on that I tend to agree that there’s something out there that accounts for this missing mass.
Whatever it is, it is very strange that we have yet to encounter any of it.
It definitely boggles the mind that so much if the Universe we live in may be unrecognizable by us.
Love your channels Sir. I learn quite a bit. Thank You;)
“Where are all the aliens?” The more we think about this the more I’m starting to guess that the universe is as difficult as it seems to travel and engineer in. It’s very difficult for humans to make rockets and get into space, and we are lucky we have the fuel to do so. But even with that, we’ve barely done anything that would be noticeable and we’re centuries away from traveling outside the solar system, and it may actually never happen. Traveling in space and sending signals outside of one’s own solar system I think are just incredibly rare and maybe borderline impossible. The physical laws are what they are and there might not be any loopholes.
Even so, it is somewhat disturbing that we have never seen any even moderately plausible evidence of technological activity from anywhere else, in this galaxy or any others (we have seen a few, very weak pieces of evidence that you could just stretch to accepting if you are willing to go down to "Ancient Aliens" evidentiary standards, but no credible scientist is). It may turn out that at least part of that is because we don't know what we should be looking for, and thus have not recognised evidence that we have seen, and/or that our instruments just aren't good enough yet, but really, neither of those should have been remotely possibly true for at least the last 20 years, minimum.
On current evidence, only 2 conclusions are possible. Either we really are alone (as far as technologically advanced species go, at least), or we are the first, or very early at least, and will become the Ancient Aliens...
"The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." -- Eden Phillpots
It's strange to me that the discussion of dark matter never once included neutrinos...the only form of dark matter we have proven exists.
If the Neutron has no charge then it would stand to reason that the Anti-Neutron also has no charge, but does it have an inverse spin (negative 1/2) property?
@3:44 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to the video editor! Nicely done!
This guy is everywhere. How many TH-cam channels does one person need!
Your channel continues to astonish me with its wealth of wisdom and insight. I'm truly grateful for the enlightenment you provide.
The size of our universe is unknown -- we only know how far we can see with current technology, this is the observable universe, not to be confused with the whole universe, which we may never know just how large it actually is.
Simon, we need more like THIS!
Not going to lie Simon, usually just skip your in video ads, but this one.... if it does what you say..... Real damn interested.
There could have been space fairing races on earth millions of years ago. Maybe they were destroyed by natural disaster or self annihilated.
THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OF MATTER!?!?! WHY WASNT I TOLD ABOUT THIS!!! Lol . I was always wondering what all this stuff I keep touching everyday is.
Half the craic of drinking is knowing how bad you'll feel the next day.
Z-biotics sounds like a great excuse to keep it up with my drinking problem 🙃
Perhaps Lego Blocks could be considered dark matter. If it's dark and you step on one with bare feet that will most definitely matter!
Gives a whole new meaning when you call somebody a wimp 🤣🤷♀️
Simon on sideprojects: where are all the aliens?
Simon on decoding the unknown: ALIENS ARN'T REAL!
I'd say on Decoding the Unknown, he's more saying that aliens haven't landed on our planet - not that they don't exist.
The dual universe hypothesis is derived from trying to explain where all the anti-matter goes. All matter is created with its counterpart that within less than a nanosecond collides and annihilate each other. However, for one in a billion particles something interferes with this interaction. This small interference accounts for all the matter we see today. However, where did the other particle, it's opposite, go? Some suggest that if they are created near black holes, the gravitational pulls on one might be greater than the other, and thus the anti particle gets pulled into the black hole while the particle gets jetted out into space. That, though possible, doesn't help explain the early accounts of matter in the Universe. Thus the theory of a counter universe was considered, a universe that takes in all the other particles of anti-matter and thus is kind of like an opposite but similar universe to our own. Only thing is, there would be no way to tell wish of these two universes we actually existed in. So just be happy we exist at all.
Impossible is a word that should never be used seriously when it comes to science. At one point in time it was impossible that we'd be exploring space, it was impossible for humans to fly, the impossible is only impossible until technology catches up.
Our player hasn't bought the dark energy dlc yet, hopefully they buy the GOTY edition soon, so we can get on with proper science.
Faynman: Do you understand Quantum Theory?
Me: Probably.
Faynman: I see what you did there.
Me: Is that measurable?
Where are all the aliens? Probably sensibly hiding in the dark forest...
That zbiotics ad actually sounded like it could be its own video lol
I wish zbiotics was around when I was a drinker. For 20 years I tried to empty all the bars in all the world. Being only successful at emptying my life of any meaning or purpose I gave up the attempt at age 35; however, there were uncountable "morning after" episodes during which I probably would have drunk Drano if someone told me it would help. Now, at age 70 I can only be envious of you youngsters who theoretically have a chance to escape the tyranny of excess.
Simon: "Where are the aliens?" But also Simon: "It's not aliens."
Are we still using whole number math to explain the universe? Whole number math is math used to count the number of apples you have. Why would gravity use the same math?
Curious question, does the law of conservation of angular momentum apply to the universe as a whole, if so what would it be at the beginning of time?
See machs principle.
The "Primordial Singularity" doesn't ever change, rather the "Big Bang" scenario is used backwards. Rather than "exploding" (sic) outwards, objects and time-scales internally "contract" within a "background of infinite cosmic potential". Contraction entails "rescaling", which in-turn explains virtually everything, including: red shift, time-frame dilation, "dark" matter & energy, or even favorable genome selection.
"Hey, let's make a video kinda along the lines of Tom Scott's Things You Might Not Know, except the twist is it's things that no one knows!"
Dark matter flowing out onto a tape
Is only as loud the silence it breaks
Most things decay in a matter of days
The product is sold, the memory fades
Two explanations for dark matter: 1) As our gravity is weak because it leaks into different dimensions, gravity from those different dimensions leaks into our realm. 2) Dark matter is from a different realm that shares only 1 or two of our spacial dimensions but not 3, therefore it can not interact with light.
I like your personality, which type is rather a rarity now days. You convey an optimistic positive attitude and funny at explaining serious subjects ...thanks for being U!
Thx :)
(oh, lol, not me...)
With the Matter-Antimatter question, couldn't it just be that the universe is actually made of equal matter and antimatter but they are separated enough to just not interact with one another besides non-aligned particles like Light or other methods like Gravity
Nope. At the beginning of the universe, everything was infinitely small. Essentially everything was touching everything and matter and anti-matter annihilated in massive amounts. Unless there was some reason that anti-matter and matter weren’t spread out pretty evenly, this theory wouldn’t work
I would include consciousness as one of the mysteries of the universe
If not the mystery
Because like all conscious entities, you're biased to think that consciousnesses matters. You want to believe that you have greater worth than a rock equal to your weight. Truth is? any sufficiently large neural network becomes conscious - it's just one of the many things that happens in such a structure and as AI will soon prove - the human example barely qualifies.
Consciousness is the way the universe gets to know itself.
@@Walt_Dismal Makes a nice fortune cookie, but there is no "self" for the universe to need to know. It's just something that sprang up after countless interactions between things on a pale blue dot. (and as for William's comment, it's more a mystery of biology, not the universe)
"How was that 5th cocktail? How was it??"
Ah haha... called me out there.
"The clearest sign of intelligent life in space is that they've not tried to contact us!" - Unknown Origin.
I like to think that both Matter and Anti matter have already met and been destroyed, we just have not "witnessed it yet" due to Our perception of Time during a chaotic event.. Much like the relative time dilation one experiences in a car crash. To the Observer out side, It is only an instant, but, for the Occupant observer as the information load increases the perception adjusts to fit .., "It happened as if everything was In Slow motion yet I know it was over in an instant". Thusly, Our experiences are simply a reverberating reflection of an experience long ago unfolded as we were instantaneously snapped into and out of existence. And So, the cycle continues..XP
Cool video. I really enjoyed this one.
My brain hurts now, and I love you for it!
Did you know that when Simon Whistler isn't making interesting TH-cam videos he's hunting vampires?
Idk for sure, but I've heard that the LHC has just about completely ruled out supersymmetry as a viable candidate for bringing the Standard Model closer to completely explaining the current universe.
Yes, and it's part of the current crisis in physics. A very exciting time!
No, it hasn't.
The problem is, it's already hypothesized by many, before the LHC was even built, that the super symmetric particles take more energy to make, than the LHC has.
And regardless of the name, the LHC is a puny little thing.
A physicist said the energy at the LHC was the equivalent of 2 mosquitoes flying into each other at full speed. Of course that's the energy of a mosquito in a single subatomic particle.
Spunds impressive, but the fact is we've detected individual subatomic particles from space with the energy of a decent sized rock you picked up and threw.
So not finding them, if they're real, isn't a shocker.
Simon's space episodes are the best
The reason I'm so content in my life is because I never drink with my co-workers.
Based on what we do 'know" about dark matter, could it actually be just the place holder/stand in for whatever it really is? A guest star who really isn't what we think?
When all factors are taken into account for what makes earth special, the odds against another are greater than all the stars in the observable universe. Not only is a life-bearing world a freak of nature, but intelligent life itself is also a freak occurrence of that freak chance for life at all.
That was a really solid ad my guy
Why does the universe exist? Possibly because the pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon that is the energy unit of this universe only spins one way.
From ZBody relating to the FDA's opinion on their product.
"...FDA-compliant for safety means that we’ve satisfied all regulatory requirements to ensure ZBiotics is safe and can be legally sold in the United States. That means that all our manufacturing is conducted in an FDA-registered food-grade facility according to Good Manufacturing Practices compliant with 21 CFR 117. It also means that our novel ZB183 ingredient has been extensively tested and is generally recognized, among qualified experts, as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use."
The real question is that we can't see dark matter but can it see us?..
The fact that we can’t see , what makes up 95% of what makes up the universe. Means we aren’t looking the right way .
I imagine that a thousand years from now, physicists will look back at the theories of their predecessors and have a good laugh.
Dark Energy is the spontaneous creation of spacetime. Its very unlikely, but in the vastness of space it happens as a result of space being greater than odds. The result is more space, which increases the odds that space will manifest thus increasing further. It becomes exponential at that point. it isn't severe because it is such a rare occurrence.
You can't see it, you can't touch it, you can't measure it. You just have to believe it exist to explain other things that are all around us. Sounds a lot like going back to Sunday Scholl as a child.
You can measure it indirectly through what it affects. It isn't just something that can't be seen, it's something that can't be seen that seems to affect stuff around it gravitationally. It's like a bubble being blown around. After it has been blown, you can no longer tell what blew it.
Oh they NOW can see it, it’s amazing when you get a better camera. The plasma energy and dust they now can see, well they are going to have to come up with “a story” to explain the money they have wasted looking for something that doesn’t exist.
@@reddune6185 There is no "story" needed. The money goes toward paying people, you realise? It isn't wasted, science is just simply the only thing we have that can most closely prove/disprove something existing. Ruling something out is just as important to science.
@@Vaeldarg Okay sure, But an estimated 20 BILLION DOLLARS SPENT, just to disprove a theory. I’m sure we have spent that much before on similar quest.. It’s going to be harder to get congress to fund future projects without a “story”.
@@reddune6185 ITER is a fusion reactor being built by multiple countries just as a test reactor, the Large Hadron Collider is so large it crosses the border of a nearby country in that area and that's just for particle collision tests.....science gets expensive depending on the question. Oh, also the thickest protective door in the world isn't for Fort Knox or any bank, it's to a room testing a (I think neutron? or gamma ray) laser.
One of your best video
All matter has volume and mass. Mass divided by volume is density. What is the density of Dark Matter? If it does not have density, it is not matter and does not matter.
What if Darkmatter is like the land below the sea level and spacetime is the sea?
The Fermi paradox isn't a paradox at all, as the Drake equation is completely arbitrary and not based on any evidence. There is simply no scientific way to approximate the probability of intelligent life from a sample size of 1. The only useful information you get from it is a proof that intelligent life is possible.
Zbiotic sounds like the product I need to maintain my alkoholism.
When we think of intelligent life, we tend to think of ever increasing technology because we believe that we need to colonize other planets. However, perhaps most intelligent life seeks harmonious balance with it's own planet and has no need to ever leave.
The missing mass is dilated mass. We have all heard the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light" this phenomenon is illustrated in a common relativity graph with velocity (from stationary to the speed of light) on the horizontal line and dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) on the vertical line. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside/stationary/Earthbound observer.
Wherever you have an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy.
In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" Einstein wrote about dilation occurring in regions that would have less mass than that which would exist at the center of common spiral galaxies. Therefore it is safe to say that according to Einstein's math the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated, in other words that mass is all around us.
It was recently discovered that low mass galaxies (like NGC 1052-DF2) have normal star rotation rates. This is what relativity would predict because there is an insufficient quantity of mass at the center to achieve relativistic velocities.
A simple way to confirm this would be to calculate the star rotation rates of a large number of galaxies. This would show that all the high mass galaxies would have star rotation rates that seem to defy the known laws of physics and all the low mass galaxies would have predictable star rotation rates.
Two questions: What existed before the big bang? What caused the “rules of physics” to come into existence?
for dark energy I've always wondered if we're actually still in the equivalent of the initial explosion of an explosive. If you were inside that explosion and it was slowed down billions of times it would seem like everything was accelerating.
If you think that, you haven't seen the data.
@@michaelsommers2356 never said I believe that's how it is. In both cases it would look like expansion is accelerating from the perspective of someone inside. We have no explanation for dark energy so the data becomes irrelevant here. I'm aware of red shift but that also relies on assumptions. the math lines up but we don't 100% know the reason is space is expanding.
