Hope you are enjoying the first second of existence (bit of a tangent this video, but an important part of the puzzle!) Next month let's find out what happened after particles gained mass. Spoiler: nothing not weird.
For the last 199,900 years constants of nature did not exist in the minds of us homosapians. Did the constants exist then? A million year explosion is occurring in the Orion nebula. Is that fine tuning? Another excellent, exciting and challenging video presentation. Thank you.
There is no evidence for fine tuning in the sense that is used by scientists, why does the universe seem perfect for the evolution of life as we know it? Because life as we know it what could evolve in these conditions, it doesn't need to be anything more than a consequence of the conditions, notice I didn't say inevitable consequence just a consequence
The simplest answer is that the universe is perfect from our point of view because we were created by it and are governed by its laws, so it couldn't be any other way.
Yeah like what is perfect. I argue nothing is it just is what it is. If it created life then great but if it didn’t then we wouldn’t be able to ask this question at all and does that mean it still wasn’t perfect? Maybe not
Kind of like a puddle marveling at the perfect indentation that cradles it? Are we really as fluid as puddles? Didn't they make the opposite point in this vid?
The intelligent design argument is ridiculous, its not finetuned for life at all. Why create matter that expands into heat death with molecules forming conscious beings that struggle on the crusts of globes of other matter.
The quality of (some) TH-cam videos has far surpassed the old fashined medias like television. It's amazing what level of quality and insight we can stumble upon while surfing YT, and thanks to the algoritm of recommendations, I was fortunate enough to find this utter gem.
yes I know a list of best channels on YT but they are mostly under 1m subscribers, wish yt will make sth like Netflix so we can pay to watch high quality videos or short documentary like this one in order to increase income to those channels, now its kinda free with a little of advertisement but I dont think income from youtube ads can help them invest on their big projects.
@@vhawk1951kl No, it was made for the internet. Also you realize that tv(classic cable type) is dying right? With less than half the population even having it(not even mentioning watching it), and that percentage is only decreasing with time(as the older demographics which hold a higher percentage of cable slowly die out). The internet will not die(at least not anytime soon), it will take over from the tv as the telephone did for the telegraph and email did for mailing letters. The only way the internet would be destroyed is if civilization itself completely collapsed(in which case the internet is not that big of a priority as food and shelter). While if the internet died, then modern civilization would follow it to the grave(with everything today being networked(which is objectively better in every single way)). PS, you really shouldnt use the Tower of Babel(i prefer tower of bullshit but to each his own) comparison as it doesnt really work at all(neither does lot and his city(salt of the religious as their “arguments” shatter under the great weight of logic and his brother, consistency)), actually a better religious comparison would be the cleansing of the temple(from the internet’s perspective) or judas(from cable tv’s perspective)
I think we can say with great confidence that the creation of consciousness in this universe is the greatest phenomenon ever seen. Out of all the ways this universe fascinates us, the reality that self-awareness was created from some combination of unconscious matter is more mind-blowing than anything else
I'm gonna go crazy just thinking about all these things without any answers. Why so sudden? Is there really no explanations? I'm not surprised religion exists because everyone would go nuts if they constantly thought about it.
The idea that consciousness is generated from matter is one of the most horrific mistakes that scientists and modern day intellectuals have made. Consciousness, or rather the conscious personality, is *fundamental*. It's a _separate ontological category_ .
One fine day you are about to goon and mid session you come across this world changing idea which you have to write down. But now that it is recorded, you can choose to publish it anytime so for the time being, you can focus on gooning.
The simulation hypothesis has the same problem that the panspermia hypothesis does: it kicks the problem farther down the road without actually answering it. Whoever's running the simulation has to live in a universe that has constants compatible with life, so the question remains of how those conditions arose - just one level higher. I'm not saying the hypothesis is necessarily wrong, but it absolutely doesn't answer the question. Editing to simplify/clarify my position: given that we are in a simulation, two questions that arise are "what conditions allow the simulation to be run?" and "how did those conditions arise?" *These are exactly the same questions the simulation hypothesis purports to answer about our own universe,* and the hypothesis is meaningless if those questions can't be addressed. Another edit: if, as has been suggested several times in this thread, the intelligence running the simulation isn't subject to the same natural laws that we are, does that not inherently contradict the assertation that a "fine-tuned" universe is actually necessary in the first place?
Not necessarily. We are limited in our imagination that this is needed. In any case. Each simulation needs rules and a start condition. Since the simulation also simulates time, the simulation calculation of the next nanosecond in our 'universe' can take 42 million years of our simulated time on the outside since there is a different outside 'time' but for us it seems to be one Nanosecond that has passed as this is the simulated time. That all on the quantum level is probability and works just fine unless we observe it at the micro level, there is no need to compute each elementar particle. Everything in the simulation is only as complicated as it is observed. The galaxies are only a few of points when you look at it. The simulation has only to calculate more whenever an observer looks at a small part through tools. Only that small part needs to be calculated. Like in a video game. Only what the observer looks at is finely granulated. Whatever happens in the 'world's' outside is more abstract and much easier and quicker to compute. Entanglement could be to compared to multiple pointers to one memory location. A bug? Dark matter and dark energy seems like wrong starting parameters.
theoretically there could be only a few observers be present and the rest are simulations. Like scientific results can be presented to the observer as papers without the experiments, proofs, failures. When I am at 30m distance to a tree, the image I see is rough, only when I stand directly in front of the tree, what is in my limited visual field needs to be calculated in a fine granulation. the backside, the crown are farther and don't need to be 'shown' that precise down to the subatomic level. That saves a lot of calculations.
I am so impressed how you perfectly combined a relaxing, and low, background music with such a fantastic narrative. So many science documentaries that are terrible mixed and are anything but a relaxing lecture. This is not the case. Its amazing how you control the aspects of the narrative, the pauses, the emphasis, the mistery and the logic with a precise description. Your voice sounds from heaven. Thanks for your fanatstic job.
Sort of like the difference between a good professor and a great professor, I seem to remember the great story teller's and the ability to keep me in the moment
I enjoyed every second of this wow. These are the things I think about almost daily but never put the research into and you’ve just done it all so perfectly!
Ditto. I always knew I was differently wired than the other children in school while I was growing up. I found myself unchallenged and frankly bored in class, as everything was just repetitive and not enough to stimulate my mind. It wasn't until I was in high school and my teachers had all told me that I was unique and highly intelligent, that I truly understood the exponential levels beyond the other students, that my mind was capable of reaching. I would essentially daydream the majority of time about the universe and how the world around me worked. I was able to visualize things that others wouldn't even begin to be capable of comprehending, all in my mind, without having seen an example of what a black hole would look like or how particles and cells intertwine together to make everything in the observable universe. Later in highschool I had a very well versed teacher who taught science class. Chemistry to be exact. But he told me that what I was visualizing is not unlike what Einstein saw in his mind, what he referred to as "thought experiments". So this teacher of mine told me to get my IQ tested. I did and when I did they decided to test me again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. They said my IQ was in the 160 range. This was a huge ah ha moment for me as I always knew I wasn't normal. I was also later diagnosed with Asperger's, which connected even more dots for me, figuratively speaking of course. I suppose I got a bit off track there and forgot where I was going with that for a moment. The bottom line is that it takes a unique type of mind to be able to think about our spatial surroundings and to be able to comprehend nature in a micro and macro scale or quantum visualization of cells and to be able to see a massive object like a the planets. And now in this modern time of scientific breakthrough and discoveries it's so validating to know that I am seeing the world the way it truly is.
@johnny no need to. I only wrote that comment under the pretence that you might possibly have an above average intelligence level, but based on your most recent comment you can just disregard what I said
The ability to see an event in mathematical terms is something I have always envied. This video has a lot for my old fossilized brain to absorb. I am familiar with some of the concepts but not with all. Thank you.
@@buttercxpdraws8101 Actually I can recommend you a book on this, where mathematics is explained as an art and how it translates the Universe as a virtual language; Measurement by Paul Lockhart.
I love to watch your videos. I watch them late at night when all is quiet and I can immerse myself in the visuals and sound. They fire up my imagination spectacularly and I then can then drift to sleep with ease. Thank you for the work you put into these. I much appreciate them!
i almost always fall asleep listening to this, it's just so smooth listening to these videos. I try to stay awake to actually take it in, but it just happens. Great video as always, can't wait for the next one! Also just wanted to say I've recently begun my degree in physics with astrophysics.
I think it’s cool to think that we (intelligent life) are the universe’s attempt to experience itself. The universe arranged itself in such a way to create beings that could sense and interact with its surroundings and even ponder itself and it’s purpose. We are the very thing that we have toiled for generations to understand.
Maybe the constants can be taken as proof of us living in a simulation clearly the values of constants had to have been chosen selectively by some intelligence for the universe we know to exist perhaps which is why the concept of god is so prevalent in our culture and we get to be the neo of this story and uncover the juicy secrets of this universe, perhaps its is time that we as humanity forget our differences and focus our energy on the research and discovery of the world we live in and embark on journey of adventure and discovery through space time as one big family Ps I know thinking like this is way beyond optimistic but its oddly humbling to type such comments 😊
@@NaKh96 lmao you're thinking about it wrong. We are made up of material from the universe, being conscious to observe the thing we are made up of is what they are saying
It’s amazing how I’ve loosely tossed around this idea in my head for years and then a video like this perfectly sums up what I could not verbalize myself. Thank you all very much
It’s crazy how you can entertain ideas on your head but not really be able to put it all together. I’m glad these TH-cam makes do it because I know it isn’t easy
Poppa Tang, please read my comments included...it may surprise you my Friend. Also, a book called, The Phoenix Fire Mystery by Silvia Cranston; all the great minds mentioned here in this video, are bearing their Souls with quotations from each one and other famous philosophers who now believe in God...
i also had this idea roughly when i was studying biochemistry in college. a few years later i found out about the cosmic fine-tuning question on the internet. i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people around the world in the past 50-100 years have come to some part of this conclusion on their own and many eventually stumble upon the evidence for fine-tuning online now
I find that the greatest force driving me to continue living and exploring is the curiosity to understand more of this magnificent universe. And, to be honest I wouldn’t want to be immortal only and only if I could know more of this mystery.
@@sunilkumaryadav2183 "how to find proof of the death" you mean proof that death exists? well, according to science, memories and experiences ate stored and processed in the brain, so once the body stops functioning correctly and giving oxygen to the brain, braincells die and at some point, which we call neurological death, the damage is irreversible and your self is gone forever. i would go as far as to say that if all your memories and experiences were deleted from your brain its the same as if you died and a new person was born (although in this case the "new person" has the same genetics and is born already your age)
I am glad i subscribed to this channel and 'History of the Earth'. Your content is absolutely amazing and worth binging. Yesterday I re-watched some of your videos and was actually wondering when a new one would drop and here it is. Please keep up the good work and do upload new content in the Earth channel pertaining to the geological evolution.
Evolution of geology as in how geology over time affected evolution or how the Earth's geology changed (evolved) over time? Both sound like amazing topics
Isn't it crazy that we ARE this stuff that boggles our minds? That at some point, every fundamental "thing" your made of was once part of the very beginning of the universe. WE ARE THE UNIVERSE
Exactly, and if that is the case it's not hard to figure out what life is? The meaning of life is experience. All we are is the universe trying to experience itself. By universe I also mean God. What was the point of having this magnificent universe if it couldn't experience anything. So that is where the experience of life comes from. And that also makes us part God or God is in us all. And that also makes us all one. Now if only more people would realize this, I think its a number of only 1%. All it takes is 1% of all the people in the world to realize and believe this to upgrade our concuousness to the next level. Whether this is true or not I have no clue, something I learned and I'm absolutely fascinated by it.
@@bartf656 Why would you say "universe" but actually mean "god" ? Those two are two different words with 2 very different definitions. We should start to pay a little bit attention to the language we all agreed on. And also, if the -point- of the universe is to experience itself then it is failing miserably. Maybe somewhere far away there are beings that are much better than us but we suck huge ass and we are SOOOOOO vastly stupid which is why we will NEVER explore anything in the universe. So if we are alone, OR if there are other stupid beings like us, the universe is failing to experience itself.
@@bartf656 lol you're not serious are you? Evolution. We are not the universe We are here for procreation Which we fail at Every generation we get worse and worse 🤷♂️ It's not for experience it's for procreation and we as humans fail at that. Also. Please don't talk about science if you think God is real 🤣
@@marcdemell5976 well, a theory in science is not the same as a theory as in "I'm theorizing something". No, the distance isnt exact to a single lightyear, but it's damn close.
“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.” ― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt
So I guess you know huh? I thought I was only one of the very few who knew. But it's now rather looking like we ate no longer the "very few" but now its just the "few". Anyway which event are you talking about because I know of 4 of them that are 100% coming the only difference is when........you talking about the one coming this decade before 2030 or you talking about the one 100,000,000 years from now?
Interesting question, kind of like asking why a puddle of water is the shape that it is - I'd say its because that's how it best fits in the hole it's been given to fill
Why does water act the way it does? Why does it even exist? Just what the hell is energy? What the hell is this 3 dimensional space/time bubble? Why did it even begin? Where does it sit? How big and how deep does reality really go? Wouldn't it be easier to have absolutely nothing? Why something at all? We should have never even existed yet for some reason, we do.. why? And no, not simple answers like "cause we do", or "cause quantum fluctuations" because both of those aren't what's being asked. Quantum fluctuations? Why? Just how the hell did that appear and again, why something instead of nothing? My brain gets scrambled when I think about all of this not even existing, that would mean absolutely nothing exists to the point where nothing doesn't even exist. But this does, so there is a MUCH bigger system at play here that goes far far beyond our level of comprehension. We won't know why existence exists. Like trying to comprehend colors we can't see, a lady with an additional cone cell says she sees plurple, you'll never be able to imagine it until you actually see it. Our comprehension is limited to what we can experience. If we can't experience a different reality than this one, we can never truly comprehend just how insane existence is Nor could we ever, our bodies being built by the laws in this bubble, we can't leave
it is time for humans to see that this universe is a masterfully engineered and crafted piece by our creator. We need to stop being ignorant and blind and just see the truth. No matter where in science you dig for answers, you will always end up needing an undeniable independent source. This universe is a universe of dependencies. Every characteristic, every particle, every correlation depends on something else... this chain of dependencies could go on eternally, but this would be contradictionary to existence... because there can't be eternal dependencies. A practical example for this statement is: Imagine you are on the highest floor of a skyscraper, but you dont know how many stores there are in total. However you know that your floor depends on the floor below, because without the floor below, your floor could not stand where it stands. Now that floor also needs a floor below it that it depends on. And the next floor does also need one. You get the idea. So at first sight it looks like "as long as each floor has another floor it depends on, this skyscraper will not collapse" ... so far so good. At this point, would you assume that "the fact, that this skyscraper is still standing and did not collapse, means there must be chain of never ending floors below the other" ? No, likely would not assume this, itd against the nature of things. Logically you would assume that each floor has a floor below until it reaches the ground, which does not need to depend on another floor and exists independently, nomatter if the floors exist or not. By logic a Skycraper would not stand if there was no ground. There is a need for a ground to exist. You do not see the ground to know that it is there. The existence of the skyscraper depends on there having to be a ground and the fact that the skyscraper exists, consequently proofs the existence of a ground. You can find the exact same pattern in the search of the answers in science. With every new discovery we see that each new particle depends on a even smaller particle or form of energy, and those again depend on and are formed by other smaller forms of energy. Even if we have not dicovered those yet, particles or energy depends on another "layer" of energy ... however this chain can't go on eternally because it would contradict existence. This universe "could not stand" if there was no ground. And "the ground" in this case must exist independently from energy/ particles, just as the ground exists no matter if the floors exist or not. Finally... this instance that exists independently from anything thats part of this universe is God. Because only a God is by nature and definition eternal and independent. It can not be any other way. You doubt that this is true? A challenge for you, go on to find the smallest thing that the universe depends on and when you find it ask yourself "does this particle/ this form of energy depend on nothing else?"
You have me on a whole new concept of thinking. That reality is far more infinitely interesting than fiction. In a way, our imaginations are essentially infinite, yet the more we look at reality, it's as vast if not more. Thank you, I will be thinking on this for a long time!
what if space is absense of light. so light is your entire life that's chopped into billions of pieces. it's fed directly into your eyes using Fibonacci (golden ratio) code to produce a countdown to death, which creates space in between the light. and when the countdown gets to death, you open your eyes to new life, so you're stuck inside a virtual reality infinite loop almost like you have a oculus headset on that's feeding light into your eyes that creates time that creates age that creates death that creates life in an infinite loop forever and forever in physical world, so you need to open your mind's eye and go inwards to go onwards. maybe.

Philosopher here. Simulation theory isn't loved by me. It clearly just pushes the question of complexity back into another universe. Why is the simulator's universe so hospitable to life?
@@martinreynolds5905 Okay. But why use their perfect universe to explain our perfect universe? Occam's razor would suggest using only one such universe rather than two in order to explain complexity.
@@jasonkinzie8835 Fully agreed, glad you brough that up. It appears to be a form of circular reasoning. The same questions we ask about our universe will still apply to the "original" universe. This hypothesis belongs to the realm of ideas. Same with the multiverses, it is an idea meant to suit the fine-tuning of our universe, but we cannot observe anything outside of our universe and cannot explain the Big Bang so, all for naught. By this logic, by their logic, God is just as plausible an idea, and if anything, God IS the simplest explanation.
Well, even though the universe where we currently reside in seems so large it isn’t endless. It had a start, it probably will end, its space probably also has a boundary (Although those are theories/ assumptions). but if we take the assumption that this universe is not entirely infinite in time and space, why shouldn’t there be a second one? Or a third? Or infinite other universes? What would be a plausible argument for that there is only one universe that started some time ago, created some space, and then vanishes into nothingness again? The only argument I ever hear is that we can only observe this universe. But is that a good argument? I cannot observe you directly, still I know (I’m assuming) that you’re existing bc you wrote a comment. I can not see other people’s thoughts or even my own but I still assume that they exist. I mean I get why some people might feel uncomfortable with this idea of “infinity” actually existing. It would mean that everything every bullshit you could imaging would exist in some random universe. It would mean there would be places with 5, 6 or even infinite dimensions. It would mean that there would be places where creatures like a Christian god exist. It would mean that there would be universes that would be just simulations in other universes. Anything would and could exist at some point in some time (or probably there would be universes with entirely different concepts then space and time, universes we couldn’t even imagine). It’s hard to wrap your head around this idea but I find it much more convincing then all the other proposals (one universe with or without god, a simulated universe inside another one)
This channel speaks to me as if we're on the same page. Like we all know about quarks, electrons, blackholes, cbr and quantum entanglement...We've all heard of these theories and equations, now let's talk about them more. I appreciate this type of science on a spiritual level.
Here's a thought. No matter how deep we look into things, we only come up with more questions. If we were made by a god, where did they come from, what dictates their existence. If we are in a simulation, what made the universe above ours possible. If we are in a multiverse, what rules dictate said multiverse, and why are the universes so similar.
@@danielteacher4049 Dunno if this is much of an example but historians do believe that Jesus the person exists. Whether they had powers is up to you but there is a religious icon that's based off something in our reality. So out of the thousands of those religions and beliefs, at least 10s of then could have nuggets of truth to them.
We are each a PART of the universe observing a PART of the universe. Major difference. Not that the entire universe can’t observe itself, but we are not the entire universe.
An Anthropic principle of some kind is a valid argument. If we assume that the universe at an atomic level has no fixed form and is just potential energy, probability and time, with no solid reality, it's possible we could be "seeing" back in time through our instruments and eyes a version of a universe that should exist if we were to exist. We are manifesting our past universe out of an infinite possible number of potential universes. A Feedback loop of mutual creation with no beginning in time other than local time. This is a real hypothesis.

I find it pretty amazing how life took hold and evolved on our tiny planet. I hope that people will evolve from the belief systems that separate us and see the amazement of life.
They most likely reason why the physics is just right for us to exist is because several universes most likely kept colliding and achieving stable states in a recurring manner and once a stable series of computational constants where in place it kept recurring even faster to more stable complex forms that are conscious as well.This would be an evitable equilibrium achieved by any progress in to a more complicated state.
But in the theory of the multiverse, all the universes that are generated are independent of one another and would never collide or interact. There is no way for us to detect the existence of other universes. That’s why in this documentary he said the multiverse theory isn’t really a theory since there’s no evidence to back it up.
Perfection is a human concept that is logically unattainable, like infinity. The universe is what it is, if it was different then perhaps some other beings would be pondering the same questions we are and not us - but equally as futile. Only when you know everything that there is to know about the universe you can make a judgment as to its perfection.
Isn't everything we ponder about just a human concept, who says humans were meant to know some of these unanswerable questions. Will a dog ever know how to bake a cake?
Theoretically, time is a measurement of increase in entropy in the universe. I’m the beginning of our universe that we perceive and know; it started out as an infinitely small point that was certain and had by definition low entropy. Well as we move away from that so called event called the Big Bang we move closer to uncertainty and one could say universal entropy has increased. Mathematically it is perfect on a macro/micro level. But even the macro/micro level is governed by the quantum level. A level of uncertainty. A level of quantum uncertainty. Based off the fact we in our perceived current consciousness we can never be able to predict the future with certainty as we do not yet have enough bandwidth to tackle some of these formulas or harness some of these answers. We cannot know for sure everything there is about a quantum system. There is a fundamental limit, being the more precisely one knows a particles position, the less one can know about its momentum and vice versa. It is a dreadful thing to think, and a lot of scientists look this dreadfully rhetorical question the universe asks us all the time, “are you certain?” Which she echos behind with “The only thing to be certain about is the uncertainty the universe will forever gravitate too.
Very well put. And I will let go on the previous comments and say I can't be thankful enough for the history of the universe series. It is been both mind-boggling and enlightening simultaneously. Much like life itself
@@PatrickAAllen theoretical consciousness and the universe is one of the most fascinating things to me. it can give so much power yet take so much power from an individual. truly a roller coaster quest of knowledge.
what you wrote here is very interesting but if the universe is increasing in entropy and disorder how can there be after billions and billions of years since the universe began such amazing order in the universe from cells to atoms to human beings with consciousness all working together perfectly, also how could the universe have began with such order which seems like it was meant to be that way, If it was even a little off the universe we have today would have never existed i feel like the more you research these amazing things and concepts one should believe that there must be a creator, designer and maintainer of this universe even if you don't follow a specific religion.

What trips me up is the Universe looks similar a brain. Super sized black holes at the center of each galaxy could be how information gets passed as a collective to the whole
@@OverRule1 I've considered that there may be a set of physics that pertains to the sub-quantum scale of the universe, and another that pertains to the super-filamental. And we cannot discern either because we exist in our layer between the two. So yeah, like black holes throughout the observable universe interact as the fundamental particles of a larger universe.
The matrix idea still requires a creator, plus the laws of physics for the programmer will be different thus it goes to say that a computer may not be necessary to create universes and computers may not even be possible in such a world, thus that is the definition of a God.
In other universe, the life there may be completely different from ours with a complete different set of laws that governs them. So just because we have these particular set of laws doesn’t mean it applies to all universe.

Bostrum’s theory doesn’t resolve the why question, it merely kicks it down the road. Multiverse also suffers the same problem, it doesn’t resolve why we’re here or why any universe exists. By exclusion and considering Occam’s razor, God is still the best answer. Not palatable by many yet it cannot be excluded as a valid explanation.
Maybe this is insignificant. Maybe are daily lives are the most significant thing in the entire universe. from the point of if there's no one to see the universe and appreciate it's glory. Then what's the point?
The universe and the constants are just right, BECAUSE we are here.. If they weren't just right, we wouldn't be here to know they're just right.. We aren't going to exist in a universe that doesn't support complex life..
Isn't that akin to saying "My Mum had all the precise factors in her body to give birth to me BECAUSE I was born'....? 'If my Mum didn't have all the just right physiological features to give birth, I wouldn't have been born to know that they're just right' Or 'My Mum was only there to give birth to me because I was born' (as though my Mums existence depends on me rather than the other way around) That doesn't explain how all of those amazing physiological features and systems that have to simultaneously work together that enabled my Mum to conceive, carry ,nourish and give birth came about in the first place? Surely my Mums amazing biological systems and features that enabled her to conceive and give birth are WHY I am here not the other way around . To suggest otherwise is circular reasoning......

@@cjperry2731 i understand the argument ('The Weak Anthropic Argument) its been around for a while. In reality its simply stating the obvious without explaining or accounting for such 'fine tuning'. As the video that we're commenting on explained a vast array of simulated virtual universes have been programmed by scientists with different laws of Physics and only ones that use the constants of our universe produce life so that out of the vast array of possible universes ours is the exception not the rule. Most physicists and cosmologists acknowledge that such 'fine tuning' demands explanation and propose only two possibilities either God or a 'mulitiverse' so its a 'problem'' that carries serious philosophical implications that shouldn't be brushed aside........
I wish you'd have also covered the explanation that the constants appear fine tuned because as the simulations have shown, most other combinations don't allow for complexity, and thus wouldn't allow us to exist to question the specific values of the constants in the first place. IMO it's the most compelling explanation. This covers why the constants have their specific values, leaving only the 'how' (which is covered by regular physics stuff).
That's the anthropic principle... and it's useless. In every single scenario (necesity, inteligent design, multiverse, evolutionary cosmology etc etc) the inhabitants of that universe can "apply" it. And any "explanation" that can be applied to EVERY scenario isn't an explanation, it's a void taulology
@@co2_os I just told you, in the most plain terms possible... I don't know how to make it even more simple I can repeat it again, adding some emphasis: "In every single different scenario possible (1º necesity, 2º inteligent design, 3º multiverse, 4º evolutionary cosmology 5ºetc etc) the inhabitants of that universe could reason that way (insert anthropic principle here) They can use that "explanation" And any "explanation" that can be applied to EVERY scenario possible, even if all of them are completely different at the core, isn't an explanation, it's just a hollow simpleness
This is an interesting, thought provoking channel with well presented content. I just want to leave some of my thoughts. I think when we talk about why we are here, or how significant we are, or whether the universe is perfect or not, we enter philosophical territory, these are questions that can be looked at in many ways, they are something that can be informed by the current science, but not ultimately decided by it. It is also important to remember that reductionism is not our only option, and that each view has its own problems and merits. I personally think that the most significant things in the universe are some of the smallest, individual people we care about, life, things we enjoy doing, our feelings and the feelings of others, our power to think for ourselves and attempt solve the problems that matter to us, causes we believe in, notions such as love, empathy, fairness, justice, etc. These may also play a part answering the why are we here question for ourselves. I think the Earth is special because it is our only home, and a cradle of life. It does not need to be big or exceptional from a scientific standpoint to be important for us. We do not all need to agree on the same interpretations of observations all of the time, sometimes it is good to agree to disagree from a place of sincere respect. As the video mentions, some people believe in god, others think we are in a simulation. Some have no opinion at all/don't care to. All of these are fine. There are some people of faith in my life that are so kind and good in their actions, that it makes me think if I were to believe, it would be because of their example. Anyway thanks for reading, hope today's a good day for you.
it's up to us to determine how and why we are here after all even if we're wrong it's the truth to us, we hold theories about quantum science as fact due to math but math is also something we came up with perhaps it means nothing even when able to prove phenomenon and what we believe to be the secrets of the universe
Hmm. I think your thoughts attempt to bring together people of varying beliefs out of respect for the person which is a good standard to live by but notably a standard which can only come from God for without God the standard is simply a preference in how to live and others may logically prefer something different- Hitler certainly did. So I think while it is important to have respect for others in a live and let live fashion we should never sacrifice the search for truth using reason bolstered with science and philosophy and the application of the truth as we understand it. Peace
Being alive on this earth is like finding yourself confined to, yet nonetheless free to roam within the pages of a famous book, somewhere on a shelf, in the library of babel. Thousands of books nearby in the same shelf may be full of gibberish, but who knows what masterpieces may lie 1000s of bookshelves away. In other words, Who are we to define order through the lense of a universe intent on creating chaos?

Everything you guys produced and uploaded are absolutely fantastic videos! I already said this but will say it again and again, "History of the Universe deserved multimillion subscribers!"
This is my general take on the simulation hypothesis. All universal constants are the result of an equation designed to get a value which is needed to govern a specific aspect of baseline reality. Each aspect of reality has a constant associated with it and a rule set on how to get that value. All values which are used as constants are derived from a seed value, the seed value is the one true constant. Because the universe is infinite the seed value is also infinite but not a large infinity, probably a repeating decimal.
..nothing created can be infinite ..if it has a beginning thnit has an end...Thats why God has no beginning or end. time and space still being created with the expansion of the universe..we all know here was no time or space before the big bang..The one who make the rules..., his existence from himself....timeless and spaceless ...he created us to show us what we are capable of...he knows but we don't...
I’m currently reading Stephens Hawking’s book “Brief Answers to Big Questions” and this documentary you have made is so complementary to it. The narration and animation is perfectly executed- and I listened intently all the way through (when most TH-cam videos struggle to capture my full attention!!). I really like seeing the faces behind names and the experiments (like the Henry Cavendish experiment- just insane for me to comprehend how he did that!). Thank you 🙏🏻 for making this. A thumbs up and a subscribe from me, this was a great way to start my Sunday morning! ☀️ ☀️ 🌏 ❤️

@@eldin14 love the comment!! amen! i just wouldn't post it in a "in your face manner " without challenging atheists with evidence and reason. and most of times we should expect emotional reactions to scriptures that is not really necessary or helpful in any way. i propose we rather start with thought not emotion provoking conversations in hope that people who Christ loved and died for will start to think and search for truth because of a meaningful conversation.
The simulation theory is essentially appealing to the same things as the existence of a fine-tuner deity. It either fails to answer the question by kicking the problem farther down the road (like others have pointed out in other comments), or it is God but by a different name. The only two explanations we have left are fine-tuning by a fine-tuner (God), or that our universe won the existential lottery within a multiverse of infinite universes. Of course, with both of these explanations we arrive at the same exact questions: How and why? How and why does Goes exist? How and why does a multiverse exist? If all we do is propose explanations that require the same questions to be answered, then we will never arrive at the truth. The only way to arrive at an actual ultimate answer is to conclude that whatever the ultimate explanation is, it just... is. If God created the universe, then God had no origin or creator Himself, nor does He exist as a result of some kind of omniversal set of rules. He just... is. If the multiverse exists and we exist in it, then the multiverse has no origin or 'multiverse of multiverses', and all of the rules and mechanisms of the multiverse are built into its own intrinsic nature. The multiverse just... is. Personally, I am a Christian, and I believe in God. I believe that these ponderings are align with the Biblical understanding of God. When it comes to mankind's pursuit of answers, I find that the farther we go with naturalism alone, the more we approach explanations that are essentially the same as God. If we are primarily concerned with the truth, and there is no explanatory or evidential difference between God and a multiverse, why then is the multiverse still preferred? Is it because we have labeled it as being 'natural'? Clearly it isn't though, as the very nature of the multiverse is to contain infinite universes that contain their own natures that are completely different from our own. The only explanation I can think of is that the existence of God has baggage that some do not want. That they do not want to resort to an explanation that their ancestors used, so that our greater knowledge would 'mean' something. That they do not want to be labeled within the scientific community as being 'anti-science', for believing in the supernatural. Perhaps even that they have a grudge against God, or do not wish to accept the consequences of the existence of God. Ultimately, it seems that the only reasons to prefer a multiverse over God boils down to emotion rather than truth.
I think we attribute perfection to it, because we think in design terms, because all things we ourselves to are designed by our minds. But the universe itself with all it's rules is just cause and effect.
This probably has nothing to do with this video but I “constantly” see the number 137 through out my day. It’s brought a lot of Curiosity to what this means and if it’s some kind of message. The fine structure constant.
And yet after 13.5 billion years and all the possible events since the singularity, the number or events which has to be enormous that could have stopped the whole show which may not be technically infinite but probably push the boundaries of probability and yet we are here to make our observations about it. Why didn’t the 99.99% rub out the.01% when it had billions of years to do so? You equate perfection with survivability rather than function. Things like chemicals such as acid are not survivable in themselves but are critical to how we survive like digesting food for instance, so if you extrapolate that to the whole universe, maybe it’s function is to give rise to conscious beings to reflect upon it.
What good is a perfect universe when if we step out into it we will die. There is nothing but death out there. Sure it's pretty and everything but you are going to die a horrible death trying to experience it. We need a spacesuit to travel there and none of the planets in our solar system are hospitable...none of them. Can't even land on Jupiter it's a ball of gas that will crush you if you go into its atmosphere.
What is stuff made of? How can stuff exist and where did it come from? What is the universe expanding into? Is our universe just a part of something else? Are there other other universes out there asking the same questions? Would those other universes follow the same laws as ours? Would they know about us?
@@riyaansheikh7470 - No, he didn't. He was brilliant in his 20's and just kind of petered out after his 30's. He was a kind and sensitive man until the end, perfectly sane.
I was afraid that the authors felt on the anthropocentred trap. Happily it is only marginally the case and this video is remarkably balanced. The universe is really a breathtaking wonder for the curious mind, this video highlitghs this point in a wonderful manner. Once again why a so reduced number of wievers ? If I may just higlight a common mistake introduced by Feynman enthousiasm to promote QED: The electromagnetic unification does only reduce the number of constants to one for wave propagation (and some localised QED extensions through a perturbation method he promoted), the quasi-static electric and magnetic fields still require two constants to be correctly described.
An Anthropic principle of some kind is a valid argument. If we assume that the universe at an atomic level has no fixed form and is just potential energy, probability and time, with no solid reality, it's possible we could be "seeing" back in time through our instruments and eyes a version of a universe that should exist if we were to exist. We are manifesting our past universe out of an infinite possible number of potential universes. A Feedback loop of mutual creation with no beginning in time other than local time. This is a real hypothesis.
Think of how Atoms form, then ask yourself, what building blocks are needed to create a Constant that our Laws of Physics, as we now know them, behave? What the elements need from the formation of the Stars? The interactions of each, Strong & Weak forces...etc...can they really be manipulated? Or, are they the way they are, because there is no other way they could even have been, or first existed? CERNN does NOT have the answers...It would be like trying to create something from nothing again...Where is the beginning of every Big Bang beginning? If nothing does exist, then why are we even here? Can we reverse the creation of Space itself? Like Time? (Time Travel Secrets). .. .. . .. . . .. . .. .. . .. According to Einstein, Space was even created at the Big Bang moments! Think of it in those terms...? The strong and weak forces are constants themselves...unless what???Unless they were manipulated by their constant when created, correct? That would be the only way they would be different in their formation and function Correct? How would they function at different levels of their equations? And/or interact with the other forces and elements...??? All would have to be equal in everything, for compatibility reasons; correct? So, START FROM THE BEGINNING of the Beginning...BEFORE the Big Bang; with all equations being equal at their beginnings...Is that even Possible? I do not think so...One can Dream, Yes; but in reality...We are here and any parallel Universe that could possibly be created differently, is NOT Possible! It cannot be done! We are here like true Miracles....No Other Way? Universe is even possible! Period! Boom! Sorry! Just think about the immense complexity involved to create our constant... Would it even be possible? Or are they, like I said, a constant of their own? Under a Law of Physics that is totally unbreakable? Like the Speed of Light?
Wow! This Channel is awesome. Thanks for sharing such a Quality content. It's interesting how knowing more and more about our universe rises more and more questions. Such a complexity of circumstances to fit together "by chance" just to aloud us to experience life ... and death. The biggest question is WHY. I'm not really sure if science could ever give an answer to this question because probably the answer is beyond matter. It must be a point in space and time where science of matter meets "science" beyond matter. Who knows...
I am a lay person but like many fascinated by existence. The one problem I have with this video are the many assumptions, one in particular concerning gravity. "If gravity was too strong it would be sucked into numerous black holes locking away all the atomic material needed for life". So I asked myself what would we be left with, a universe of just black holes? and if such was the case would we know the future development of the universe, maybe life could come to be in the black holes, we know virtually nothing about them, so we are left with just assumptions concerning what would/could be. Everything said is based upon what we currently know which gives us the reality we now know. I am sure there are endless possibilities of reality regardless of FSC. Why we exist, we may never know, after all in eternity if something can happen it will, hence us. I believe nothing will ever know everything, there will always be more questions that answers As said at the start I have no education in these matters other than an addictive curiosity about the whole business, so go easy on me.
This has been one question that has always been in the back of my mind since I started learning about physics. That if there are laws, then there must've been a process that made the laws, as they seem too specific to be a product of random possibilities which can only make sense if every possible configuration has been tried out, but there are other complications with this approach as you mentioned. It's like a puzzle has been given to us that we can not be certain is the complete puzzle.
Why not just accept that it is random (either by small chance) or through trialling many universes but that the only worlds that observers like us could live in are in a very narrow range of possible les of nature, so those laws are actually either very likely or maybe even certain given the fact of our existence
@@gregoryfenn1462 Because that mean also "just accepting" that other unobservable universes exist in some place or time or dimension that is so fully separated from us that we can never even in theory interact with them? How exactly is that any better -- or really any different -- from "just accepting" that an infinite and theoretically unobservable God did it? It's not. Both are just faith-based stories dressed up in different clothes. We know about the universe in which we live; we no *nothing* about anything outside of it. God, The Multiverse, and A Simulation are all on equal footing.
every law has a law maker and every code has a coder and every design has a designer if the laws of physics began after the universe how did the universe exist did the universe create itself if , no that is impossible. did the universe come from nothing? nothing can never become something. or is there another universe that made this universe if so than where did that universe come from none of these are possible explanations the only logical explanation for existence is auncreated creator of the universe even if you don't believe in a religion doesn't this make sense. Quran- Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?
If it is perfect then there must be a organiser or Creator of this universe. Nothing can come from nothing. There has to be an architect of corm sorts. A Creator.
Please correct me, energy can’t be recreated or destroy only transformed right? So would that make energy never had a beginning but have always been there and will always be. Now is it possible that there never was a creator?
@@willpalmer989 you need to try to understand. Everything that is the universe is a creation. Beyond. What our minds can comprehend. For example. Let’s say you invented and made something called a ‘chair’. Stay with me here. No one has ever seen one or ever thought of something that humans can ‘sit’ on. Everyone always stood or sat on the floor. Let’s just say. You making that chair makes you the creator of that chair. You are physically outside that creation. You have always existed as Will Palmer before that ‘chair’ was designed and made. Therefore you are not part of, nor an attribute of that chair. You are totally independent from that chair hence you do not depend on that chair. That chair is totally dependent on you, otherwise it would not have been made. As u need to look after it. Polish it when it needs be or just leave it as it is and let it’s cause run through fully. You give it’s laws as it were. There’s a seat to sit in and arms for people to rest there arms on. Strong enough to hold. However you’ve fashioned it enough so if a heavy person was to sit on it it would eventually crack. Or break. U decide how strong it is during your design phase. Not saying if it breaks makes u a rubbish designer. You’ve just set it like that. Maybe You don’t want heavy people to sit on it. Perhaps you had a particular reason why it was designed the way it was. So no matter what is ‘made’ here on Earth or as we know it. There is always a creator. In terms of ‘energy’. That’s an entity in itself. It has its own laws of physics and laws full stop. Who fashioned that law? Who gave it those properties? There has to be a creator. It’s that Creator we call ‘God’. Or Allah. As the term Allah has many attributes. One of the attributes is known as The Creator, The Fashioner. Hope this makes sense.
Everything in the world is perfect. Look at around, the flowers, your floor tiles, your body, and everything around is just RIGHT for it to just be. So why is it so hard to believe that what created us has to be different and can’t be perfect to hold us together. If it weren’t perfect, then we would burn or maybe freeze. So the real question should be, why do so many people fandom to believe that the world is just perfect??
They don't want to believe someone is above them and more powerful, they are followers of evil, forcing the masses to believe in their own beliefs, corrupting people and making stuff up.
I really enjoy subjects on physics and mathematics, they are important tools to approximating our universe. The question on why we're so special certainly is a pondering one, but I wish the subject of purpose was implemented. Atheism rose from the French Revolution in 1789, as the religious leaders have not treated their people the way they should have. If you recall what they've been doing, it is grossly not reflecting the Bible, and because of their forceful intentions, the people revolted agianst them. New thinkers rose, proposing new theories in contrast to religious texts. To be honest, they've made firm theories that stand not on full reasoning, but refusal to Faith. And everyone that followed did the same. It is like someone who attemps to get into a walled garden by climbing it's vines instead of using the door. Don't become captive to the lofty philosophies of this world. The big conclusion to everything is not at a distant finish line, but is right in front of you all this time.
I believe in the simulation theory, and tend to think about small particles as being numbers close to the decimal limit of the processor. Instances of matter and energy become a rounded fuzz, where the system approximates values in nearby spacial cells. Black holes are upper numeric limits, where numbers get cropped and are stored as a total sum, as oppose to individual bits. Also, the whole notion that we don't understand dark matter and dark energy, we can't predict their distribution in the other universes. We don't know how the dark components of equations would behave. Official conclusion rests on arbitrary assumptions. Things like Planck time are the CPU frequency. Entangled particles are hyperlinked positions to the same data cell, that becomes constant when accessed (wave function collapses). Lastly, knowing that wave functions exists up until it interacts with anything, we can say that the universe could only evolve towards interaction. Non-interacting system does not evolve, by definition. Meanwhile, the system that tries all possibilities, eventually collides with itself sufficient number of times to produce the experience of being here and now. The whole arrangement of matter in the universe is akin to a search engine that crunches in all directions, until it echoes back the structure. Until the whole light and gravitational web lenses on a tiny blue dot, where the universe begins to gaze out upon itself, contemplating how it all happened.
Absolutly correct. But then u have to expain how the universe where the simulation is run came to exist. It takes u down to an infinte layers which makes no sense.
Fascinating concepts to ponder and build understanding. I am humbled as I listen, understanding basic concepts but each thought I grasp reveals infinitely more that are beyond my reach. I accept God as the ultimate answer of all that we perceive. Thank you.
Loved the topic. You should follow up with a video of the problems with navigating through space if we ever were able to come up with tech. To actually travel it.
"Why Is the Universe Perfect?" I highly recommend you read anything by Benoit Mandelbrot. The "perfection" we see is an illusion because we are hard-wired to ignore what he called "roughness." I would also add that in any discussion of perfection we need to discuss entropy. Yes, a flower looks perfect and could lead one to conclude that there is a fundamental order to the universe. But what that person ignores are the millions of tons of fusion atoms, disintegrating water, and CO2 that were destroyed to make this tiny piece of order. As Dark Matter and Dark Energy show us, the real rulers of the universe are behind the scenes, rather than what is obvious in front of us.
Dark energy/matter are fictitious constructs devised to prop up a failed theory. They are not observed, but are assumed to exist in order to explain how matter is condensed and confined the way it is in the universe. Check out primer fields 1, 2, and 3 on TH-cam with respect to that. This aside, how would any perceived "roughness" negate the insane degree of complexity and order we find in the universe? We can argue about "perfect", but you would rule out intentionality and design in the universe based on the tendency of the universe to decay despite complex order and life existing in the face of that? It seems to follow logically that this arrangement would only make a stronger case that there is a force at work counterbalancing decay and disorganization.
@@azrielsmith3167 : Dark matter does exist, but nobody knows what it actually is. We can see its effects in the bending of light around distant galaxies, which is _usually_ stronger than expected based on the computed mass of those galaxies. The mass of galaxies is pretty easy to compute, because almost all classical matter is hydrogen and helium, and almost all of it is glowing-hot or emitting radio waves due to radiation bombardment from nearby stars. in short, we can see almost all the classical matter in the universe. Yet some galaxies have much stronger gravity than they should, while others don't. So there's something else we can't see that's very heavy, and it's not evenly distributed.
@@deusexaethera Right, thus you have illustrated my point. There are empirical observations which contradict what would be expected under the consensus theory of gravity. To explain this incongruence; rather than revisiting the theory, the notion of dark matter is developed. It has not been observed. You claim it's effects confirm it's existence, but such effects could just as easily be the result of other phenomena besides the notion of imperceivable matter.
@@azrielsmith3167 : You misunderstand. The difference in observed gravity is not proportional to the amount of classical matter in each galaxy. Some galaxies are significantly heavier than predicted, while others are not. If it were the result of us not understanding gravity, then the inaccuracy would scale proportionally depending on the observed mass of each galaxy, but it doesn't. There is something else physically out there, not just an error in the math.
Another mind blowing documentary. Wow. Thank you for taking the time to create these incredible educational videos and for making them so very interesting and engaging. I wish learning in school was this fun. It seems that the more science matures the more scientist have to go back and re-examine their core ideas. That scientific maturity leads to greater understanding of the complexity of everything here on earth (and in the universe), creates more questions then answers and to understanding there exists more order then once thought. I vote for God. As hard as the belief in Him is, it is harder, for me, to believe all of this Galactic Order, not to mention organic life on Earth, happened by some perfect accident. Time will tell the truth.
'Some perfect accident'? Maybe you NEED religion Nathan. If you think billions, of years, millions of suns, and perhaps only a few thousand worlds like this one in our tiny sector off the universe = then realize that in nature things happen (or don't happen) because there is never any choice, then you will be as excited as I am about the certainty of complex life throughout the universe. We may never learn about it but it doesn't need a god to make it wonderful. People can be wonderful as well. We are taking our time to learn how to behave, but I would bet my pension you can rely on your own moral intelligence to cope with a god to guide you. Am I wrong?
Not Clues, but Facts...If you want, Sean, read my comment up top; it may answer your questions... Thanks for helping me realize this...Cool! Very Cool!
i don't think its a matter of "how could this universe be so perfect?" but rather "how could life exist to observe the reality in any other universe?".
How To Go To Heaven It is very simple to be saved and takes only a minute to explain. Please let me show you how to get to Heaven from the Bible, God's Word... Man is a Sinner in the Eyes of a Holy God. Isaiah 53:6, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”Romans 3:19, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.”Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” There is a Price For Our Sin―Burning in Hell Forever. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”2nd Thessalonians 1:8, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Jesus paid that price by dying on the cross and shedding His blood; Christ was buried and bodily rose again the third day! Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”1st Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ...”1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” This is the Gospel. By faith in Jesus Christ ALONE we are immediately saved.Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”1st Corinthians 3:11, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Salvation is NOT found in a religion or good works, but in a Person... The LORD JESUS CHRIST! Simply BELIEVE the Gospel and You Are Saved!
yea there must be a creator logically if this universe was even a little off none of this would have happened but we humans are too arrogant to except our createdness and the fact that our creator is greater and beyond us. we dont wish to follow his laws but we follow man made laws, but the whole universe has to obey the set commands that they have(ie, laws of physics) or there would be corruption instead of order, so how could humans be any different. If God is truly there than we need to ask for his guidance. god bless
Do you want to know WHY? Then ask yourself, what can exist by itself, without any cause to it? Can our universe really exist by itself, just being born out of no cause? Can things that we perceive as existing be really existing by themselves? What is the source of existence? What can be a source for existence? The answer? Something that can self-exist. For if it isn't, then it can't be a source of existence, and therefore the question remains.
The answer to the question “where did the fine structure constant come from”? is staring you in the face, literally. It is, as is said, hidden in plain sight and the more you search for it the less likely you are to find it because *you are looking in ALL of the wrong places* Here is an (incomplete) simple equation which defines where it came from: (a x 7) / (? ^ 7) = alpha Work out what the symbol ‘a’ and the symbol ‘?’ represent and you’ll have your answer. But *search for those values in the right place* “I am the first and the last, the *alpha* and the omega”.
I figure that any universe without a conscious being to appreciate, and be aware of it, is equivalent to not existing. "Validating" the universe might even be one of the reasons or purpose of OUR existence..?
I’ve thought of that too, there is a good quote “We are the universe experiencing itself”. And the question: Why is there something rather than nothing? Is one I think of a lot, I’ve heard explanations such as “There can’t be ‘NOTHING’ without‘SOMETHING’ to compare it to, how can nothing exist if there weren’t it’s opposite of something. And I’ve always thought where did these universal rules and constants come from, that allows matter and consciousness from non living matter, it makes me think that there are things overseeing this whole thing, something we could never begin to understand
"...he [Planck] had unknowingly invented Quantum Mechanics." Isn't that always the way, though? I was trying to rewire a 3-pin plug the other day and inadvertently invented a time machine. It happens 🤷♂️
One of best docuvideos I have ever seen. Congrats. For me it’s simple there is a supreme power. Call it a God if you will but just like the Bible, science tries to explain what we don’t know using what we think we know. I’ll call it the Great Keeper of Universal Energy.
Hope you are enjoying the first second of existence (bit of a tangent this video, but an important part of the puzzle!) Next month let's find out what happened after particles gained mass. Spoiler: nothing not weird.

For the last 199,900 years constants of nature did not exist in the minds of us homosapians. Did the constants exist then? A million year explosion is occurring in the Orion nebula. Is that fine tuning?
Another excellent, exciting and challenging video presentation. Thank you.
13:26 max planck? nah max plonk
Enjoying in an understatement, I'm learning. Thank you for imparting your hard earned knowledge. It really improves the way I look at my life.
There is no evidence for fine tuning in the sense that is used by scientists, why does the universe seem perfect for the evolution of life as we know it?
Because life as we know it what could evolve in these conditions, it doesn't need to be anything more than a consequence of the conditions, notice I didn't say inevitable consequence just a consequence
The simplest answer is that the universe is perfect from our point of view because we were created by it and are governed by its laws, so it couldn't be any other way.
Yeah like what is perfect. I argue nothing is it just is what it is. If it created life then great but if it didn’t then we wouldn’t be able to ask this question at all and does that mean it still wasn’t perfect? Maybe not
Also universe created the notion of some imperfections so that we could call it perfect? Where did the concept of perfection came from?
You are talking about observable insanely complex domino effect, this seems to be precodnitioned
Kind of like a puddle marveling at the perfect indentation that cradles it? Are we really as fluid as puddles? Didn't they make the opposite point in this vid?

@@vhawk1951kl No, it was made for the internet.
Also you realize that tv(classic cable type) is dying right? With less than half the population even having it(not even mentioning watching it), and that percentage is only decreasing with time(as the older demographics which hold a higher percentage of cable slowly die out). The internet will not die(at least not anytime soon), it will take over from the tv as the telephone did for the telegraph and email did for mailing letters.
The only way the internet would be destroyed is if civilization itself completely collapsed(in which case the internet is not that big of a priority as food and shelter). While if the internet died, then modern civilization would follow it to the grave(with everything today being networked(which is objectively better in every single way)).
PS, you really shouldnt use the Tower of Babel(i prefer tower of bullshit but to each his own) comparison as it doesnt really work at all(neither does lot and his city(salt of the religious as their “arguments” shatter under the great weight of logic and his brother, consistency)), actually a better religious comparison would be the cleansing of the temple(from the internet’s perspective) or judas(from cable tv’s perspective)

I think we can say with great confidence that the creation of consciousness in this universe is the greatest phenomenon ever seen. Out of all the ways this universe fascinates us, the reality that self-awareness was created from some combination of unconscious matter is more mind-blowing than anything else
I'm gonna go crazy just thinking about all these things without any answers. Why so sudden? Is there really no explanations? I'm not surprised religion exists because everyone would go nuts if they constantly thought about it.
Wow, I screen shot this, it’s so touchingly written. If you mind I delete but I just couldn’t help it, it has a very exciting touch to it. =)
Unless matter is conscious.
@silksonic3927 mate the universe ain't even 1 trillion years old
The idea that consciousness is generated from matter is one of the most horrific mistakes that scientists and modern day intellectuals have made. Consciousness, or rather the conscious personality, is *fundamental*. It's a _separate ontological category_ .
"Planck, had unknowingly, invented quantum mechanics" I hate when that happens, so relatable

The simulation hypothesis has the same problem that the panspermia hypothesis does: it kicks the problem farther down the road without actually answering it. Whoever's running the simulation has to live in a universe that has constants compatible with life, so the question remains of how those conditions arose - just one level higher. I'm not saying the hypothesis is necessarily wrong, but it absolutely doesn't answer the question.
Editing to simplify/clarify my position: given that we are in a simulation, two questions that arise are "what conditions allow the simulation to be run?" and "how did those conditions arise?" *These are exactly the same questions the simulation hypothesis purports to answer about our own universe,* and the hypothesis is meaningless if those questions can't be addressed.
Another edit: if, as has been suggested several times in this thread, the intelligence running the simulation isn't subject to the same natural laws that we are, does that not inherently contradict the assertation that a "fine-tuned" universe is actually necessary in the first place?
Not necessarily. We are limited in our imagination that this is needed. In any case. Each simulation needs rules and a start condition. Since the simulation also simulates time, the simulation calculation of the next nanosecond in our 'universe' can take 42 million years of our simulated time on the outside since there is a different outside 'time' but for us it seems to be one Nanosecond that has passed as this is the simulated time. That all on the quantum level is probability and works just fine unless we observe it at the micro level, there is no need to compute each elementar particle. Everything in the simulation is only as complicated as it is observed. The galaxies are only a few of points when you look at it. The simulation has only to calculate more whenever an observer looks at a small part through tools. Only that small part needs to be calculated. Like in a video game. Only what the observer looks at is finely granulated. Whatever happens in the 'world's' outside is more abstract and much easier and quicker to compute. Entanglement could be to compared to multiple pointers to one memory location. A bug? Dark matter and dark energy seems like wrong starting parameters.
theoretically there could be only a few observers be present and the rest are simulations. Like scientific results can be presented to the observer as papers without the experiments, proofs, failures. When I am at 30m distance to a tree, the image I see is rough, only when I stand directly in front of the tree, what is in my limited visual field needs to be calculated in a fine granulation. the backside, the crown are farther and don't need to be 'shown' that precise down to the subatomic level. That saves a lot of calculations.

Ironically perfect
Kelvin what If I think I’m bad at math? In other words I need a good math teacher.
Ditto. I always knew I was differently wired than the other children in school while I was growing up. I found myself unchallenged and frankly bored in class, as everything was just repetitive and not enough to stimulate my mind. It wasn't until I was in high school and my teachers had all told me that I was unique and highly intelligent, that I truly understood the exponential levels beyond the other students, that my mind was capable of reaching. I would essentially daydream the majority of time about the universe and how the world around me worked. I was able to visualize things that others wouldn't even begin to be capable of comprehending, all in my mind, without having seen an example of what a black hole would look like or how particles and cells intertwine together to make everything in the observable universe. Later in highschool I had a very well versed teacher who taught science class. Chemistry to be exact. But he told me that what I was visualizing is not unlike what Einstein saw in his mind, what he referred to as "thought experiments". So this teacher of mine told me to get my IQ tested. I did and when I did they decided to test me again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. They said my IQ was in the 160 range. This was a huge ah ha moment for me as I always knew I wasn't normal. I was also later diagnosed with Asperger's, which connected even more dots for me, figuratively speaking of course. I suppose I got a bit off track there and forgot where I was going with that for a moment. The bottom line is that it takes a unique type of mind to be able to think about our spatial surroundings and to be able to comprehend nature in a micro and macro scale or quantum visualization of cells and to be able to see a massive object like a the planets. And now in this modern time of scientific breakthrough and discoveries it's so validating to know that I am seeing the world the way it truly is.

I think it’s cool to think that we (intelligent life) are the universe’s attempt to experience itself. The universe arranged itself in such a way to create beings that could sense and interact with its surroundings and even ponder itself and it’s purpose.
We are the very thing that we have toiled for generations to understand.
Maybe the constants can be taken as proof of us living in a simulation clearly the values of constants had to have been chosen selectively by some intelligence for the universe we know to exist perhaps which is why the concept of god is so prevalent in our culture and we get to be the neo of this story and uncover the juicy secrets of this universe, perhaps its is time that we as humanity forget our differences and focus our energy on the research and discovery of the world we live in and embark on journey of adventure and discovery through space time as one big family
Ps I know thinking like this is way beyond optimistic but its oddly humbling to type such comments 😊

So the univers created itself then created us to experience itself? That's not cool to think, that's not even rational at all.

Isn't it crazy that we ARE this stuff that boggles our minds? That at some point, every fundamental "thing" your made of was once part of the very beginning of the universe. WE ARE THE UNIVERSE
Exactly, and if that is the case it's not hard to figure out what life is? The meaning of life is experience. All we are is the universe trying to experience itself. By universe I also mean God. What was the point of having this magnificent universe if it couldn't experience anything. So that is where the experience of life comes from. And that also makes us part God or God is in us all. And that also makes us all one. Now if only more people would realize this, I think its a number of only 1%. All it takes is 1% of all the people in the world to realize and believe this to upgrade our concuousness to the next level.

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

Interesting question, kind of like asking why a puddle of water is the shape that it is - I'd say its because that's how it best fits in the hole it's been given to fill
Looked it up, turns out that's a Douglas Adams analogy too! I knew I'd heard it somewhere before
So you stole it
Why does water act the way it does? Why does it even exist? Just what the hell is energy?
What the hell is this 3 dimensional space/time bubble? Why did it even begin? Where does it sit? How big and how deep does reality really go?
Wouldn't it be easier to have absolutely nothing? Why something at all?
We should have never even existed yet for some reason, we do.. why?
And no, not simple answers like "cause we do", or "cause quantum fluctuations" because both of those aren't what's being asked.
Quantum fluctuations? Why? Just how the hell did that appear and again, why something instead of nothing?
My brain gets scrambled when I think about all of this not even existing, that would mean absolutely nothing exists to the point where nothing doesn't even exist.
But this does, so there is a MUCH bigger system at play here that goes far far beyond our level of comprehension.
We won't know why existence exists.
Like trying to comprehend colors we can't see, a lady with an additional cone cell says she sees plurple, you'll never be able to imagine it until you actually see it.
Our comprehension is limited to what we can experience. If we can't experience a different reality than this one, we can never truly comprehend just how insane existence is
Nor could we ever, our bodies being built by the laws in this bubble, we can't leave

@@dr.withoutthedegree3990 he used it think of analogies as tools
it is time for humans to see that this universe is a masterfully engineered and crafted piece by our creator. We need to stop being ignorant and blind and just see the truth. No matter where in science you dig for answers, you will always end up needing an undeniable independent source.
This universe is a universe of dependencies. Every characteristic, every particle, every correlation depends on something else... this chain of dependencies could go on eternally, but this would be contradictionary to existence... because there can't be eternal dependencies.
A practical example for this statement is: Imagine you are on the highest floor of a skyscraper, but you dont know how many stores there are in total. However you know that your floor depends on the floor below, because without the floor below, your floor could not stand where it stands. Now that floor also needs a floor below it that it depends on. And the next floor does also need one. You get the idea.
So at first sight it looks like "as long as each floor has another floor it depends on, this skyscraper will not collapse" ... so far so good.
At this point, would you assume that "the fact, that this skyscraper is still standing and did not collapse, means there must be chain of never ending floors below the other" ? No, likely would not assume this, itd against the nature of things. Logically you would assume that each floor has a floor below until it reaches the ground, which does not need to depend on another floor and exists independently, nomatter if the floors exist or not.
By logic a Skycraper would not stand if there was no ground. There is a need for a ground to exist. You do not see the ground to know that it is there. The existence of the skyscraper depends on there having to be a ground and the fact that the skyscraper exists, consequently proofs the existence of a ground.
You can find the exact same pattern in the search of the answers in science. With every new discovery we see that each new particle depends on a even smaller particle or form of energy, and those again depend on and are formed by other smaller forms of energy. Even if we have not dicovered those yet, particles or energy depends on another "layer" of energy ... however this chain can't go on eternally because it would contradict existence. This universe "could not stand" if there was no ground. And "the ground" in this case must exist independently from energy/ particles, just as the ground exists no matter if the floors exist or not.
Finally... this instance that exists independently from anything thats part of this universe is God. Because only a God is by nature and definition eternal and independent. It can not be any other way.
You doubt that this is true? A challenge for you, go on to find the smallest thing that the universe depends on and when you find it ask yourself "does this particle/ this form of energy depend on nothing else?"
Just brilliant as always. Calm clear diction, no distracting music. Incredible info expressed beautifully. ❤❤❤
This is some fire content, I remember why I love physics so much, reality is some much cooler than fiction could ever do justice
You have me on a whole new concept of thinking. That reality is far more infinitely interesting than fiction. In a way, our imaginations are essentially infinite, yet the more we look at reality, it's as vast if not more. Thank you, I will be thinking on this for a long time!
what if space is absense of light. so light is your entire life that's chopped into billions of pieces. it's fed directly into your eyes using Fibonacci (golden ratio) code to produce a countdown to death, which creates space in between the light. and when the countdown gets to death, you open your eyes to new life, so you're stuck inside a virtual reality infinite loop almost like you have a oculus headset on that's feeding light into your eyes that creates time that creates age that creates death that creates life in an infinite loop forever and forever in physical world, so you need to open your mind's eye and go inwards to go onwards. maybe.

By logic, a creator that is beyond our understanding of time has to exist to create everything we feel, experience and or see etc.
This is a beautiful way of putting forth one of the many ways our universe is utterly perplexing!
who created the universe?
How are we even here in the first place is the most simple but unimaginable question to answer
Philosopher here. Simulation theory isn't loved by me. It clearly just pushes the question of complexity back into another universe. Why is the simulator's universe so hospitable to life?
Because a simulators universe is the most perfect universe to provide these simulations.
@@martinreynolds5905 Okay. But why use their perfect universe to explain our perfect universe? Occam's razor would suggest using only one such universe rather than two in order to explain complexity.
@@jasonkinzie8835 Fully agreed, glad you brough that up. It appears to be a form of circular reasoning. The same questions we ask about our universe will still apply to the "original" universe. This hypothesis belongs to the realm of ideas. Same with the multiverses, it is an idea meant to suit the fine-tuning of our universe, but we cannot observe anything outside of our universe and cannot explain the Big Bang so, all for naught. By this logic, by their logic, God is just as plausible an idea, and if anything, God IS the simplest explanation.
But that is just changing one god for another. now is a programer
Well, even though the universe where we currently reside in seems so large it isn’t endless. It had a start, it probably will end, its space probably also has a boundary (Although those are theories/ assumptions). but if we take the assumption that this universe is not entirely infinite in time and space, why shouldn’t there be a second one? Or a third? Or infinite other universes? What would be a plausible argument for that there is only one universe that started some time ago, created some space, and then vanishes into nothingness again? The only argument I ever hear is that we can only observe this universe. But is that a good argument? I cannot observe you directly, still I know (I’m assuming) that you’re existing bc you wrote a comment. I can not see other people’s thoughts or even my own but I still assume that they exist.
I mean I get why some people might feel uncomfortable with this idea of “infinity” actually existing. It would mean that everything every bullshit you could imaging would exist in some random universe. It would mean there would be places with 5, 6 or even infinite dimensions. It would mean that there would be places where creatures like a Christian god exist. It would mean that there would be universes that would be just simulations in other universes. Anything would and could exist at some point in some time (or probably there would be universes with entirely different concepts then space and time, universes we couldn’t even imagine). It’s hard to wrap your head around this idea but I find it much more convincing then all the other proposals (one universe with or without god, a simulated universe inside another one)

Here's a thought. No matter how deep we look into things, we only come up with more questions.
If we were made by a god, where did they come from, what dictates their existence.
If we are in a simulation, what made the universe above ours possible.
If we are in a multiverse, what rules dictate said multiverse, and why are the universes so similar.

what if space is absense of light. so light is your entire life that's chopped into billions of pieces. it's fed directly into your eyes using Fibonacci (golden ratio) code to produce a countdown to death, which creates space in between the light. and when the countdown gets to death, you open your eyes to new life, so you're stuck inside a virtual reality infinite loop almost like you have a oculus headset on that's feeding light into your eyes that creates time that creates age that creates death that creates life in an infinite loop forever and forever in physical world, so you need to open your mind's eye and go inwards to go onwards. maybe.

They most likely reason why the physics is just right for us to exist is because several universes most likely kept colliding and achieving stable states in a recurring manner and once a stable series of computational constants where in place it kept recurring even faster to more stable complex forms that are conscious as well.This would be an evitable equilibrium achieved by any progress in to a more complicated state.
But in the theory of the multiverse, all the universes that are generated are independent of one another and would never collide or interact. There is no way for us to detect the existence of other universes. That’s why in this documentary he said the multiverse theory isn’t really a theory since there’s no evidence to back it up.
@@raularnela3654 Yes and fine tuning would still be needed for these universes to exist.
Entropy makes that impossible
Perfection is a human concept that is logically unattainable, like infinity. The universe is what it is, if it was different then perhaps some other beings would be pondering the same questions we are and not us - but equally as futile. Only when you know everything that there is to know about the universe you can make a judgment as to its perfection.
Isn't everything we ponder about just a human concept, who says humans were meant to know some of these unanswerable questions.

Thank you
Theoretically, time is a measurement of increase in entropy in the universe. I’m the beginning of our universe that we perceive and know; it started out as an infinitely small point that was certain and had by definition low entropy. Well as we move away from that so called event called the Big Bang we move closer to uncertainty and one could say universal entropy has increased. Mathematically it is perfect on a macro/micro level. But even the macro/micro level is governed by the quantum level. A level of uncertainty. A level of quantum uncertainty. Based off the fact we in our perceived current consciousness we can never be able to predict the future with certainty as we do not yet have enough bandwidth to tackle some of these formulas or harness some of these answers. We cannot know for sure everything there is about a quantum system. There is a fundamental limit, being the more precisely one knows a particles position, the less one can know about its momentum and vice versa. It is a dreadful thing to think, and a lot of scientists look this dreadfully rhetorical question the universe asks us all the time, “are you certain?” Which she echos behind with “The only thing to be certain about is the uncertainty the universe will forever gravitate too.
Very well put. And I will let go on the previous comments and say I can't be thankful enough for the history of the universe series. It is been both mind-boggling and enlightening simultaneously. Much like life itself
@@PatrickAAllen theoretical consciousness and the universe is one of the most fascinating things to me. it can give so much power yet take so much power from an individual. truly a roller coaster quest of knowledge.
what you wrote here is very interesting but if the universe is increasing in entropy and disorder how can there be after billions and billions of years since the universe began such amazing order in the universe from cells to atoms to human beings with consciousness all working together perfectly, also how could the universe have began with such order which seems like it was meant to be that way, If it was even a little off the universe we have today would have never existed

What trips me up is the Universe looks similar a brain. Super sized black holes at the center of each galaxy could be how information gets passed as a collective to the whole
@@OverRule1 I've considered that there may be a set of physics that pertains to the sub-quantum scale of the universe, and another that pertains to the super-filamental. And we cannot discern either because we exist in our layer between the two.
So yeah, like black holes throughout the observable universe interact as the fundamental particles of a larger universe.
The matrix idea still requires a creator, plus the laws of physics for the programmer will be different thus it goes to say that a computer may not be necessary to create universes and computers may not even be possible in such a world, thus that is the definition of a God.
In other universe, the life there may be completely different from ours with a complete different set of laws that governs them. So just because we have these particular set of laws doesn’t mean it applies to all universe.

Bostrum’s theory doesn’t resolve the why question, it merely kicks it down the road. Multiverse also suffers the same problem, it doesn’t resolve why we’re here or why any universe exists. By exclusion and considering Occam’s razor, God is still the best answer. Not palatable by many yet it cannot be excluded as a valid explanation.
This video really comforts me. It let's me consider my daily life problems insignificant for a moment ❤️🦆💜
Maybe this is insignificant. Maybe are daily lives are the most significant thing in the entire universe. from the point of if there's no one to see the universe and appreciate it's glory. Then what's the point?
The universe and the constants are just right, BECAUSE we are here..
If they weren't just right, we wouldn't be here to know they're just right..
We aren't going to exist in a universe that doesn't support complex life..
Isn't that akin to saying "My Mum had all the precise factors in her body to give birth to me BECAUSE I was born'....?
'If my Mum didn't have all the just right physiological features to give birth, I wouldn't have been born to know that they're just right'
Or 'My Mum was only there to give birth to me because I was born' (as though my
Mums existence depends on me rather than the other way around)
That doesn't explain how all of those amazing physiological features and systems that have to simultaneously work together that enabled my Mum to conceive, carry ,nourish and give birth came about in the first place?
Surely my Mums amazing biological systems and features that enabled her to conceive and give birth are WHY I am here not the other way around . To suggest otherwise is circular reasoning......

@@cjperry2731 i understand the argument ('The Weak Anthropic Argument) its been around for a while. In reality its simply stating the obvious without explaining or accounting for such 'fine tuning'. As the video that we're commenting on explained a vast array of simulated virtual universes have been programmed by scientists with different laws of Physics and only ones that use the constants of our universe produce life so that out of the vast array of possible universes ours is the exception not the rule. Most physicists and cosmologists acknowledge that such 'fine tuning' demands explanation and propose only two possibilities either God or a 'mulitiverse' so its a 'problem'' that carries serious philosophical implications that shouldn't be brushed aside........
I wish you'd have also covered the explanation that the constants appear fine tuned because as the simulations have shown, most other combinations don't allow for complexity, and thus wouldn't allow us to exist to question the specific values of the constants in the first place.
IMO it's the most compelling explanation. This covers why the constants have their specific values, leaving only the 'how' (which is covered by regular physics stuff).
That's the anthropic principle... and it's useless.
In every single scenario (necesity, inteligent design, multiverse, evolutionary cosmology etc etc) the inhabitants of that universe can "apply" it.
And any "explanation" that can be applied to EVERY scenario isn't an explanation, it's a void taulology
@@TheChzoronzon can you explain that in simpler terms? Because I really don't see why the anthropic principle is useless.
@@co2_os I just told you, in the most plain terms possible... I don't know how to make it even more simple
I can repeat it again, adding some emphasis:
"In every single different scenario possible (1º necesity, 2º inteligent design, 3º multiverse, 4º evolutionary cosmology 5ºetc etc) the inhabitants of that universe could reason that way (insert anthropic principle here)
They can use that "explanation"
And any "explanation" that can be applied to EVERY scenario possible, even if all of them are completely different at the core, isn't an explanation, it's just a hollow simpleness
This is an interesting, thought provoking channel with well presented content. I just want to leave some of my thoughts.
I think when we talk about why we are here, or how significant we are, or whether the universe is perfect or not, we enter philosophical territory, these are questions that can be looked at in many ways, they are something that can be informed by the current science, but not ultimately decided by it. It is also important to remember that reductionism is not our only option, and that each view has its own problems and merits.
I personally think that the most significant things in the universe are some of the smallest, individual people we care about, life, things we enjoy doing, our feelings and the feelings of others, our power to think for ourselves and attempt solve the problems that matter to us, causes we believe in, notions such as love, empathy, fairness, justice, etc. These may also play a part answering the why are we here question for ourselves. I think the Earth is special because it is our only home, and a cradle of life. It does not need to be big or exceptional from a scientific standpoint to be important for us.
We do not all need to agree on the same interpretations of observations all of the time, sometimes it is good to agree to disagree from a place of sincere respect. As the video mentions, some people believe in god, others think we are in a simulation. Some have no opinion at all/don't care to. All of these are fine. There are some people of faith in my life that are so kind and good in their actions, that it makes me think if I were to believe, it would be because of their example.
Anyway thanks for reading, hope today's a good day for you.
it's up to us to determine how and why we are here after all even if we're wrong it's the truth to us, we hold theories about quantum science as fact due to math but math is also something we came up with perhaps it means nothing even when able to prove phenomenon and what we believe to be the secrets of the universe
Hmm. I think your thoughts attempt to bring together people of varying beliefs out of respect for the person which is a good standard to live by but notably a standard which can only come from God for without God the standard is simply a preference in how to live and others may logically prefer something different- Hitler certainly did. So I think while it is important to have respect for others in a live and let live fashion we should never sacrifice the search for truth using reason bolstered with science and philosophy and the application of the truth as we understand it.

Everything you guys produced and uploaded are absolutely fantastic videos! I already said this but will say it again and again, "History of the Universe deserved multimillion subscribers!"
This is my general take on the simulation hypothesis. All universal constants are the result of an equation designed to get a value which is needed to govern a specific aspect of baseline reality. Each aspect of reality has a constant associated with it and a rule set on how to get that value. All values which are used as constants are derived from a seed value, the seed value is the one true constant. Because the universe is infinite the seed value is also infinite but not a large infinity, probably a repeating decimal.
..nothing created can be infinite ..if it has a beginning thnit has an end...Thats why God has no beginning or end. time and space still being created with the expansion of the universe..we all know here was no time or space before the big bang..The one who make the rules..., his existence from himself....timeless and spaceless ...he created us to show us what we are capable of...he knows but we don't...

The simulation theory is essentially appealing to the same things as the existence of a fine-tuner deity. It either fails to answer the question by kicking the problem farther down the road (like others have pointed out in other comments), or it is God but by a different name.
The only two explanations we have left are fine-tuning by a fine-tuner (God), or that our universe won the existential lottery within a multiverse of infinite universes. Of course, with both of these explanations we arrive at the same exact questions: How and why? How and why does Goes exist? How and why does a multiverse exist? If all we do is propose explanations that require the same questions to be answered, then we will never arrive at the truth. The only way to arrive at an actual ultimate answer is to conclude that whatever the ultimate explanation is, it just... is. If God created the universe, then God had no origin or creator Himself, nor does He exist as a result of some kind of omniversal set of rules. He just... is. If the multiverse exists and we exist in it, then the multiverse has no origin or 'multiverse of multiverses', and all of the rules and mechanisms of the multiverse are built into its own intrinsic nature. The multiverse just... is.
Personally, I am a Christian, and I believe in God. I believe that these ponderings are align with the Biblical understanding of God. When it comes to mankind's pursuit of answers, I find that the farther we go with naturalism alone, the more we approach explanations that are essentially the same as God. If we are primarily concerned with the truth, and there is no explanatory or evidential difference between God and a multiverse, why then is the multiverse still preferred? Is it because we have labeled it as being 'natural'? Clearly it isn't though, as the very nature of the multiverse is to contain infinite universes that contain their own natures that are completely different from our own. The only explanation I can think of is that the existence of God has baggage that some do not want. That they do not want to resort to an explanation that their ancestors used, so that our greater knowledge would 'mean' something. That they do not want to be labeled within the scientific community as being 'anti-science', for believing in the supernatural. Perhaps even that they have a grudge against God, or do not wish to accept the consequences of the existence of God. Ultimately, it seems that the only reasons to prefer a multiverse over God boils down to emotion rather than truth.
I cannot recommend this channel highly enough. The narration, subjects and pacing are almost perfect.
I think we attribute perfection to it, because we think in design terms, because all things we ourselves to are designed by our minds. But the universe itself with all it's rules is just cause and effect.

A perfect universe yet we can't survive 99.99% of it
@Joby Fluorine that’s as an assumption, it assumes that there is less habitable places when you can’t prove it. The solar system is not the universe
And yet after 13.5 billion years and all the possible events since the singularity, the number or events which has to be enormous that could have stopped the whole show which may not be technically infinite but probably push the boundaries of probability and yet we are here to make our observations about it. Why didn’t the 99.99% rub out the.01% when it had billions of years to do so? You equate perfection with survivability rather than function. Things like chemicals such as acid are not survivable in themselves but are critical to how we survive like digesting food for instance, so if you extrapolate that to the whole universe, maybe it’s function is to give rise to conscious beings to reflect upon it.

If I may just higlight a common mistake introduced by Feynman enthousiasm to promote QED: The electromagnetic unification does only reduce the number of constants to one for wave propagation (and some localised QED extensions through a perturbation method he promoted), the quasi-static electric and magnetic fields still require two constants to be correctly described.

I do not think so...One can Dream, Yes; but in reality...We are here and any parallel Universe that could possibly be created differently, is NOT Possible! It cannot be done! We are here like true Miracles....No Other Way? Universe is even possible! Period! Boom! Sorry!
Just think about the immense complexity involved to create our constant...
Would it even be possible? Or are they, like I said, a constant of their own? Under a Law of Physics that is totally unbreakable? Like the Speed of Light?
Wow! This Channel is awesome. Thanks for sharing such a Quality content. It's interesting how knowing more and more about our universe rises more and more questions. Such a complexity of circumstances to fit together "by chance" just to aloud us to experience life ... and death. The biggest question is WHY. I'm not really sure if science could ever give an answer to this question because probably the answer is beyond matter. It must be a point in space and time where science of matter meets "science" beyond matter. Who knows...
I am a lay person but like many fascinated by existence. The one problem I have with this video are the many assumptions, one in particular concerning gravity. "If gravity was too strong it would be sucked into numerous black holes locking away all the atomic material needed for life". So I asked myself what would we be left with, a universe of just black holes? and if such was the case would we know the future development of the universe, maybe life could come to be in the black holes, we know virtually nothing about them, so we are left with just assumptions concerning what would/could be. Everything said is based upon what we currently know which gives us the reality we now know. I am sure there are endless possibilities of reality regardless of FSC. Why we exist, we may never know, after all in eternity if something can happen it will, hence us. I believe nothing will ever know everything, there will always be more questions that answers As said at the start I have no education in these matters other than an addictive curiosity about the whole business, so go easy on me.
You don't exist😃you're just an illusion of reality 🧞♂️
Brotha, the purpose of life is to experience it. How you experience it, well, that’s up to you.
you can just say layman it's fine
Shows like this just reinforced my absolute belief in a Creator the details the laws of science Ps 19 the the heavens declare the glory of the Lord
This has been one question that has always been in the back of my mind since I started learning about physics.
That if there are laws, then there must've been a process that made the laws, as they seem too specific to be a product of random possibilities which can only make sense if every possible configuration has been tried out, but there are other complications with this approach as you mentioned.
It's like a puzzle has been given to us that we can not be certain is the complete puzzle.
Why not just accept that it is random (either by small chance) or through trialling many universes but that the only worlds that observers like us could live in are in a very narrow range of possible les of nature, so those laws are actually either very likely or maybe even certain given the fact of our existence
Read romans 1:19-1:25
@@gregoryfenn1462 Because that mean also "just accepting" that other unobservable universes exist in some place or time or dimension that is so fully separated from us that we can never even in theory interact with them? How exactly is that any better -- or really any different -- from "just accepting" that an infinite and theoretically unobservable God did it?
It's not. Both are just faith-based stories dressed up in different clothes.
We know about the universe in which we live; we no *nothing* about anything outside of it. God, The Multiverse, and A Simulation are all on equal footing.
@@davidkulmaczewski4911 I agree. All are just feeble attempts to be sure of something... Just steer clear of puddle hypothesis
every law has a law maker and every code has a coder and every design has a designer
if the laws of physics began after the universe how did the universe exist
did the universe create itself if , no that is impossible.
did the universe come from nothing? nothing can never become something.
or is there another universe that made this universe if so than where did that universe come from
none of these are possible explanations
the only logical explanation for existence is auncreated creator of the universe
even if you don't believe in a religion doesn't this make sense.
Quran- Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?
Its from the Creator. The Designer.
Powerful, personal, all knowing & perfect being.
In short God.
If it is perfect then there must be a organiser or Creator of this universe.
Nothing can come from nothing. There has to be an architect of corm sorts. A Creator.
Please correct me, energy can’t be recreated or destroy only transformed right? So would that make energy never had a beginning but have always been there and will always be. Now is it possible that there never was a creator?
@@willpalmer989 you need to try to understand. Everything that is the universe is a creation. Beyond. What our minds can comprehend.
For example. Let’s say you invented and made something called a ‘chair’. Stay with me here.
No one has ever seen one or ever thought of something that humans can ‘sit’ on. Everyone always stood or sat on the floor. Let’s just say.
You making that chair makes you the creator of that chair. You are physically outside that creation. You have always existed as Will Palmer before that ‘chair’ was designed and made.
Therefore you are not part of, nor an attribute of that chair. You are totally independent from that chair hence you do not depend on that chair. That chair is totally dependent on you, otherwise it would not have been made. As u need to look after it. Polish it when it needs be or just leave it as it is and let it’s cause run through fully. You give it’s laws as it were. There’s a seat to sit in and arms for people to rest there arms on. Strong enough to hold. However you’ve fashioned it enough so if a heavy person was to sit on it it would eventually crack. Or break. U decide how strong it is during your design phase. Not saying if it breaks makes u a rubbish designer. You’ve just set it like that. Maybe You don’t want heavy people to sit on it. Perhaps you had a particular reason why it was designed the way it was.
So no matter what is ‘made’ here on Earth or as we know it. There is always a creator.
In terms of ‘energy’. That’s an entity in itself. It has its own laws of physics and laws full stop.
Who fashioned that law?
Who gave it those properties?
There has to be a creator. It’s that Creator we call ‘God’. Or Allah. As the term Allah has many attributes. One of the attributes is known as The Creator, The Fashioner.
Hope this makes sense.
Everything in the world is perfect. Look at around, the flowers, your floor tiles, your body, and everything around is just RIGHT for it to just be. So why is it so hard to believe that what created us has to be different and can’t be perfect to hold us together. If it weren’t perfect, then we would burn or maybe freeze. So the real question should be, why do so many people fandom to believe that the world is just perfect??
They don't want to believe someone is above them and more powerful, they are followers of evil, forcing the masses to believe in their own beliefs, corrupting people and making stuff up.
I really enjoy subjects on physics and mathematics, they are important tools to approximating our universe. The question on why we're so special certainly is a pondering one, but I wish the subject of purpose was implemented. Atheism rose from the French Revolution in 1789, as the religious leaders have not treated their people the way they should have. If you recall what they've been doing, it is grossly not reflecting the Bible, and because of their forceful intentions, the people revolted agianst them. New thinkers rose, proposing new theories in contrast to religious texts.
To be honest, they've made firm theories that stand not on full reasoning, but refusal to Faith. And everyone that followed did the same. It is like someone who attemps to get into a walled garden by climbing it's vines instead of using the door. Don't become captive to the lofty philosophies of this world. The big conclusion to everything is not at a distant finish line, but is right in front of you all this time.
I still feel there is a part of us that can not be defined or explained with mathematics, and that’s why we have the word miracle
I believe in the simulation theory, and tend to think about small particles as being numbers close to the decimal limit of the processor. Instances of matter and energy become a rounded fuzz, where the system approximates values in nearby spacial cells. Black holes are upper numeric limits, where numbers get cropped and are stored as a total sum, as oppose to individual bits. Also, the whole notion that we don't understand dark matter and dark energy, we can't predict their distribution in the other universes. We don't know how the dark components of equations would behave. Official conclusion rests on arbitrary assumptions. Things like Planck time are the CPU frequency. Entangled particles are hyperlinked positions to the same data cell, that becomes constant when accessed (wave function collapses). Lastly, knowing that wave functions exists up until it interacts with anything, we can say that the universe could only evolve towards interaction. Non-interacting system does not evolve, by definition. Meanwhile, the system that tries all possibilities, eventually collides with itself sufficient number of times to produce the experience of being here and now. The whole arrangement of matter in the universe is akin to a search engine that crunches in all directions, until it echoes back the structure. Until the whole light and gravitational web lenses on a tiny blue dot, where the universe begins to gaze out upon itself, contemplating how it all happened.
Absolutly correct. But then u have to expain how the universe where the simulation is run came to exist. It takes u down to an infinte layers which makes no sense.
Regardless an intelligent agent exist if simulation theory is real
Wow.... 👍👍
Do you have any proof of the simulation theory? None exists, so clearly you are a person of great faith. What do you call your religion?
I'll have a pint of what you just had.
Fascinating concepts to ponder and build understanding. I am humbled as I listen, understanding basic concepts but each thought I grasp reveals infinitely more that are beyond my reach. I accept God as the ultimate answer of all that we perceive. Thank you.
Loved the topic. You should follow up with a video of the problems with navigating through space if we ever were able to come up with tech. To actually travel it.
There is no tech to achieve FTL. It isn't possible even if given another billion years, etc. Just face reality and move on.
"Why Is the Universe Perfect?"
I highly recommend you read anything by Benoit Mandelbrot. The "perfection" we see is an illusion because we are hard-wired to ignore what he called "roughness."
I would also add that in any discussion of perfection we need to discuss entropy. Yes, a flower looks perfect and could lead one to conclude that there is a fundamental order to the universe. But what that person ignores are the millions of tons of fusion atoms, disintegrating water, and CO2 that were destroyed to make this tiny piece of order.
As Dark Matter and Dark Energy show us, the real rulers of the universe are behind the scenes, rather than what is obvious in front of us.
Dark energy/matter are fictitious constructs devised to prop up a failed theory. They are not observed, but are assumed to exist in order to explain how matter is condensed and confined the way it is in the universe. Check out primer fields 1, 2, and 3 on TH-cam with respect to that. This aside, how would any perceived "roughness" negate the insane degree of complexity and order we find in the universe? We can argue about "perfect", but you would rule out intentionality and design in the universe based on the tendency of the universe to decay despite complex order and life existing in the face of that? It seems to follow logically that this arrangement would only make a stronger case that there is a force at work counterbalancing decay and disorganization.
Ordo ab Chao 😉
@@azrielsmith3167 : Dark matter does exist, but nobody knows what it actually is. We can see its effects in the bending of light around distant galaxies, which is _usually_ stronger than expected based on the computed mass of those galaxies. The mass of galaxies is pretty easy to compute, because almost all classical matter is hydrogen and helium, and almost all of it is glowing-hot or emitting radio waves due to radiation bombardment from nearby stars. in short, we can see almost all the classical matter in the universe. Yet some galaxies have much stronger gravity than they should, while others don't. So there's something else we can't see that's very heavy, and it's not evenly distributed.
@@deusexaethera Right, thus you have illustrated my point. There are empirical observations which contradict what would be expected under the consensus theory of gravity. To explain this incongruence; rather than revisiting the theory, the notion of dark matter is developed. It has not been observed. You claim it's effects confirm it's existence, but such effects could just as easily be the result of other phenomena besides the notion of imperceivable matter.
@@azrielsmith3167 : You misunderstand. The difference in observed gravity is not proportional to the amount of classical matter in each galaxy. Some galaxies are significantly heavier than predicted, while others are not. If it were the result of us not understanding gravity, then the inaccuracy would scale proportionally depending on the observed mass of each galaxy, but it doesn't. There is something else physically out there, not just an error in the math.
Another mind blowing documentary. Wow. Thank you for taking the time to create these incredible educational videos and for making them so very interesting and engaging. I wish learning in school was this fun. It seems that the more science matures the more scientist have to go back and re-examine their core ideas. That scientific maturity leads to greater understanding of the complexity of everything here on earth (and in the universe), creates more questions then answers and to understanding there exists more order then once thought. I vote for God. As hard as the belief in Him is, it is harder, for me, to believe all of this Galactic Order, not to mention organic life on Earth, happened by some perfect accident. Time will tell the truth.
'Some perfect accident'? Maybe you NEED religion Nathan. If you think billions, of years, millions of suns, and perhaps only a few thousand worlds like this one in our tiny sector off the universe = then realize that in nature things happen (or don't happen) because there is never any choice, then you will be as excited as I am about the certainty of complex life throughout the universe. We may never learn about it but it doesn't need a god to make it wonderful. People can be wonderful as well. We are taking our time to learn how to behave, but I would bet my pension you can rely on your own moral intelligence to cope with a god to guide you. Am I wrong?
You state your ideas as facts. I expressed a personal idea. Ideas do not need citations but "facts" do. Therefore citations please sir.@@thecatsman
I’m convinced this universe is by design, all the clues are there.
Not Clues, but Facts...If you want, Sean, read my comment up top; it may answer your questions...
Thanks for helping me realize this...Cool! Very Cool!
i don't think its a matter of "how could this universe be so perfect?" but rather "how could life exist to observe the reality in any other universe?".
How To Go To Heaven
It is very simple to be saved and takes only a minute to explain. Please let me show you how to get to Heaven from the Bible, God's Word...
Man is a Sinner in the Eyes of a Holy God.
Isaiah 53:6, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”Romans 3:19, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.”Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
There is a Price For Our Sin―Burning in Hell Forever.
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”2nd Thessalonians 1:8, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Jesus paid that price by dying on the cross and shedding His blood; Christ was buried and bodily rose again the third day!
Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”1st Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ...”1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” This is the Gospel.
By faith in Jesus Christ ALONE we are immediately saved.Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”1st Corinthians 3:11, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
Salvation is NOT found in a religion or good works, but in a Person... The LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Simply BELIEVE the Gospel and You Are Saved!
yea there must be a creator logically if this universe was even a little off none of this would have happened
but we humans are too arrogant to except our createdness and the fact that our creator is greater and beyond us.
we dont wish to follow his laws but we follow man made laws, but the whole universe has to obey the set commands that they have(ie, laws of physics) or there would be corruption instead of order, so how could humans be any different.
If God is truly there than we need to ask for his guidance.
god bless
@@abdirahmaansaid9699 What an evil bastard he must be then
Do you want to know WHY? Then ask yourself, what can exist by itself, without any cause to it? Can our universe really exist by itself, just being born out of no cause? Can things that we perceive as existing be really existing by themselves? What is the source of existence? What can be a source for existence? The answer? Something that can self-exist. For if it isn't, then it can't be a source of existence, and therefore the question remains.
The answer to the question “where did the fine structure constant come from”? is staring you in the face, literally. It is, as is said, hidden in plain sight and the more you search for it the less likely you are to find it because *you are looking in ALL of the wrong places*
Here is an (incomplete) simple equation which defines where it came from: (a x 7) / (? ^ 7) = alpha
Work out what the symbol ‘a’ and the symbol ‘?’ represent and you’ll have your answer. But *search for those values in the right place*
“I am the first and the last, the *alpha* and the omega”.
I figure that any universe without a conscious being to appreciate, and be aware of it, is equivalent to not existing.
"Validating" the universe might even be one of the reasons or purpose of OUR existence..?
I’ve thought of that too, there is a good quote “We are the universe experiencing itself”. And the question: Why is there something rather than nothing? Is one I think of a lot, I’ve heard explanations such as “There can’t be ‘NOTHING’ without‘SOMETHING’ to compare it to, how can nothing exist if there weren’t it’s opposite of something. And I’ve always thought where did these universal rules and constants come from, that allows matter and consciousness from non living matter, it makes me think that there are things overseeing this whole thing, something we could never begin to understand
@@cortneyrens There's definitely something "fishy" going on.
That's a "I think, therefore I am" moment.
"...he [Planck] had unknowingly invented Quantum Mechanics."
Isn't that always the way, though? I was trying to rewire a 3-pin plug the other day and inadvertently invented a time machine. It happens 🤷♂️
I believe it
Congratulations my friend good job hope you can explain in more detail last week!
Extraordinary, excellent. The best documentaries about the Universe I have seen in many, many years. Congratulations.
One of best docuvideos I have ever seen. Congrats. For me it’s simple there is a supreme power. Call it a God if you will but just like the Bible, science tries to explain what we don’t know using what we think we know. I’ll call it the Great Keeper of Universal Energy.
