I have the ultra deep field as my desktop background. I have watched these videos several times, and I'm still so truly humbled by the images collected. It almost moves me to tears in its simple yet immense and awesome beauty. Thank you Hubble
+Sue Mead I too had the same reaction of being mesmerized, almost with tears in my eyes.. When I was looking at the video, a thought came to my mind: we come from there.. the stars
I was teaching my sixth grade students about the HUDF today and they were on the edge of their seats as I described it to them. They were, as I was and still am, in complete awe at the implications of this incredibly inspiring photo. I get emotional thinking about it. I set aside a short amount of time to discuss this with my students as it's not part of our regular discussions but we ended up spending nearly two periods discussing it. They wanted to know more. They were hungry for knowledge and I couldn't disappoint them. This makes learning such a beautiful thing.
siberus48 I just met with parents at PTA and a parent of one of my students told me that her son hasn't stopped searching for images of space, planets, galaxies, etc. since that day. He spends a lot of his free time studying them. When I heard that I was absolutely elated. I occasionally hear stories like that and each time a parent thanks me for getting their child interested in something I feel privileged to have been a part of that. It really is the greatest reward. My first fifth grade students graduate from college this year and a small group has invited me to their graduation. I haven't been their teacher for nearly a decade and I was blown away to hear that they wanted me to be a part it their celebration. I have no idea what I did to deserve it and I hope they tell me what I did right so I can continue to do it.
It's amazing that the photons from the galaxy's in the deep field image, began their journey to a telescope that had not yet been built by a species that had not yet begun to exist on a planet that did not exist orbiting a star that didn't exist, in a galaxy that was just beginning to form.
I think they will launch it next year all being well . But I think it will take a few years after the launch to position itself and get data back to earth
I feel like nothing after watching this. Just imagine how many fucking starts and planets there is out there! Im 100% sure there is other planets with life forms on them out there. and who knows, maybe something close to humans. and maybe one of them is looking up at the sky right now, at night, dreaming of other lifeforms in the universe. and maybe, just maybe, that "person" is looking directly at our planet without even knowing it. This blows my mind.
+GranVlog :-) Try to feel like something cause you are abble to see and percieve that. I doubt that in a few light-years volume space there is a life formthat is abble to do that. We did that and if we were proud of that I believe that there would be less wars arroud because of some sqare meters of land.
+Назар Ильдаров Those old galaxies probably have the smartest intelligence life of the universe, we are seeing a pic of those galaxies of 13,200 billion years ago,when the universe was only 500 million years old, so right now this place is way different.
billions and billions of galaxies each one of them contains billions of stars and billions of planets. there must be another life out there, we can't be alone .... just keep looking.
By pure statistics there MUST be life out there, even if just 0,00000001% of all planets had life, there would be trillions of planets with life, the problem is that they are too far away to actually making contact
I don’t think it’s even the size of the Universe that is our real barrier...but that elusive concept we know as time...will we be around long enough to finally discover other life forms? Our own Sun has another 4-5 billion years in its present stage of life, before it runs out of Hydrogen, then, it will expand, and start burning Helium, becoming a Red Giant in the process, and extinguishing all life on Earth. The problem there is, as I say, will he have developed our technology in time long before that eventuality, if we haven’t destroyed ourselves in the meantime, that is? Time, ahem, will tell...
The universe has no "edge" in that infinite creation exists as far as we’ve been able to see in every new photo taken by each and every space telescope. The Hubble platform has been revamped with a new camera and retrofits until its planned replacement -the James Webb Space Telescope- can be launched in 2018. In addition, another three, extremely large, ground-based telescopes should be finished in 2016. Those advanced devices will dwarf the smaller, older viewing tools that have been used by current observatories for decades, permitting us to peer much farther into the cosmos. These are exciting times!
It's fascinating to know how small and insignificant we are. Think about all of the other civilizations, looking up at the stars, looking at Earth, and wondering if life is out there. I wish we could know more.
If I'm not wrong, before these images they actually thought the entire universe was just our galaxy. What an honor it is to be able to witness this. There could be countless civilizations out there. In fact there could have been countless civilizations that came into existence and died out before our sun even formed.
Aaron B The Ultra Deep field is so far away that the light that we use to see the galaxies would of reached us millions of years after the moments we see of them. This means if we do in fact find other civilisations in the Ultra Deep Field, we are witnessing civilisations millions of years old!
I love the closed caption at 2:55. Really helps us hard of hearing folks. Also I’ve got an ultra high resolution 48x48 inch poster of this ultra deep field in my garage.
+Valen S Because it completely embodies the true definition of awesome. It is overwhelmingly beautiful and humbling. I don't understand how someone can watch this and not at least be a little choked up.
There is no answer to "where did the universe come from?" It relies on a language that we invented. There is no "why" or "where" because it objectively means nothing to the universe. These questions only seem like they make sense to us because we created them to begin with.
I agree with you, but what about the question "how" or "what"? Causality is an objective concept. It is there whether we exist or whether we believe in it. If there is an effect (beginning of the universe), what's the cause?
Love nearly everything about this channel. Only one complaint. The background music to most of these vids is over the top. Just bring it down a notch. IMHO
+Missy Coffman Flat earthers and Bible thumpers who think it's just all made up. People who are the laughing stock of the human race. People whose brains are not as evolved as the rest of ours. People I wish we could stick on a rocket and send flying into the sun. People I wish didn't exist in the first place. People who hold the rest of us back from really truly getting anywhere. Basically a bunch of assholes. :)
+Terran B I follow a religion, but I'm no bible-thumper. I do urge you to consider the fact that calling us assholes is hypocrisy. I mean, you are the one being so ignorant to what other people think that you're saying we should be flown into the sun. Sorry, I wasn't aware you are the prime subject of advanced human evolution and you know all the answers to the universe. You are not more evolved, and in fact, if anyone were more evolved, it would be those who don't discount the thoughts of others. Back in the early ages, people didn't like what people had to say about creation, and threatened to (or actually did) kill them. Now, think about what you just said, compare it to them, and see how much you've really evolved.
Brains are not as evolved as the rest of ours... That's axiomatically incorrect. No such thing as being less evolved. Everything on earth is at the same stage of evolution. There is no end target, no ultimate goal with evolution. We humans are no more evolved than a fish or a germ as we exist at the same time (we could be considered more complex). Evolution is the change in a genome from one parent to the offspring. Your thought of evolution is the same as that of those Bible thumpers. What you should say is 'less intelligent', less you be considered less 'Evolved' by others ;)
I must possess a very shallow mind. Here is perhaps one of the most profound images ever produced by humans, and all I can think about is why over three hundred people gave this a thumbs down. My mind struggles with that concept more than the implication of 13 billion year old photons reaching our little area of the universe. Am I loony?
In a way those photons are now immortal and resurrected through your computer monitor through your eyes onto your retina and into your brain so you can see the image. Beautiful.
You're not shallow, and you're not looney, Danny. You have latched on to the great irony of our age. The thumbs-down are probably Baptists, upset that their stone-age view of the world is now discarded in favour of empirical observation. That image, arguablly THE most important every produced by humans, must make us humble, must make us consider our place in the universe without superstition, or the supernatural, or eternal punishment or life. I'm hoping to find a wall-sized poster of that image. I need to look at it every day.
briggsquantum while i agree with you on the being humble, how should this picture make us concider a world without the supernatural? i mean after all, what IS supernatural? basically it is something we have not yet understood and found any rules for. Had you shown early civilizations a magnet, you were a magician. had you told the egyptians we would have steel birds to fly in, they would have thought you a madman. Had you known about electricity in roman times, you were a wizard! had you talked about quantum mechanics 100 years ago they would have you locked up. Its all relative and besides that, i dont see anything here disproving there is anything superior to humans, quite the contrary if you ask me. now i am no bible thumber, far from it,yet i do chose to believe there are higher entities than these few monkeys on a rock in the middle of this HUGE universe. we just CANNOT be "da shit" out there :)
ArctanThardus I think we have a different view of "supernatural". It is the belief in another state of existence. It has nothing to do with observed phenomena, although the ancients attempted to explain magnets and thunder and lightning through gods of various sorts. Science dispels that by demanding evidence. So magnets and lightning were investigated and eventually explained without the use of gods. Science also permits one to say "I don't know." whereas religion always has some response, gods will, miracles, burning bushes and so on. More than likely there is life on a vast scale elsewhere in the universe. We're not all there is, but at the moment we have no way of knowing, and so I'm comfortable with "we don't know". I'm not comfortable with "god exists outside space and time….blah blah blah".
The most mind blowing aspect of this is the realisation that, as the narrator states, every pinprick or blob of light is a galaxy, which, in itself, takes up a large volume of space, yet is merely a speck of light in the greater context of the Universe as a whole...that alone gives us at least an idea of the unimaginable scale of the Universe...it is truly beyond our imagination...
sparnman yes it is. How does your brain work? life started here with 2 different types of bacteria. Where did they come from? The Universe is full of life. Full, Read your bible. I think you are mixing up God the creator and Lord God who mated 'man' with Eve, thus creating hu-mans! If you don't understand let me know and I will tell you the real story. Fuck the sheep, LoL
Rare Earth hypothesis says there's 1 earth-like planet per galaxy. Currently it seems only one tenth of the galaxies can support carbon based life. Still if there are 100 billion galaxies that's still 10 billion earth-like planets out there with complex life. Now to actually be able to travel to other galaxies... that would be a feat.
Tony T You are an abhorrently repellent human being with obviously no prior training in the sciences, "Life started here with 2 different bacteria", Are you serious? The exact same amount of bacteria would have been found then, as now. Also, how dare you, how fucking DARE you, to use your space monkey's schizophrenic little diary as an objective, infallible truth to argue logical and scientific points of reasoning. And this is coming from a 14 year old... Please please please, buy/acquire the book 'The God Delusion'. It may change your mind.
BTW, the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to Hubble, will provide even deeper views into the Universe, back to the first galaxies ("baby galaxies") after the Big Bang. Some very cool tech. By the end of this century, our children and grandchildren should have a profoundly deeper understanding of the universe. More science please!
You know, this is (personally) the most important thing I've ever seen. It's keeping me sane and focused during this crazy time. We're a speck. Our lives and deaths, whether we be the president or a janitor or an earthworm or an amoeba, are of the same absolute importance in this place in which we live. Though I suspect many if not most religious people would find these ideas terrifying, I find them comforting.
That one is more of an infrared telescope because of how red shifted all the visible light coming to us has become, but you're right it certainly will help us study things better
+Robinkae Because IMO religion was created as a way to deal with the unknown origin of humanity before we had the ability to get real answers with science and technology. This video provides us with a stunning view and a new perception into just how massive and complex the universe is. Even the parts of the universe that look empty. ...besides, it only takes a half hour of research into religion to become totally turned off by it. Between hating on gays, slaves, unnecessary rules, false information concerning the creation of Earth and the entirety of the Bible having been translated countless times; and that's just Christianity. The kid rape really rubs me the wrong way too. Along with the subsequent cover ups by the Catholic church.
+Billy Sotherden Likewise. When measured against the awe-inspiring vastness of the known universe, our puny, feeble attempts to build systems of belief and organize around them become meaningless and irrelevant. It therefore follows, fittingly, to identify oneself as a nullifidian.
+Billy Sotherden Yes but science is ALSO a religion thus rendering your comment oxymoronic. You have no real tangible way of verifying the information about the universe that you have been indoctrinated and inculcated to believe since a young child; you simply have faith in NASA's world view, nothing more nothing less.
Absolutely amazing. It blows my mind that not even a few generations ago, we didn't know what mysteries the moon had hidden in the midst of her, and here I am learning about the Hubble ultra deep field in 3D. 😊☺😇
i usually don't care when I see a bunch of thumb downs on good videos like this one, but over 300 thumb down is absolutely ridiculous. Must be a bunch of religious nuts who still think that some magical being in the sky is making the sun revolve around earth.
The issue of discontent must be the irrefutable truth that the light from the distant galaxies has taken billions of years to reach us. This messes with the minds of the 300 - who, as you comment, must be fundamentalist believers in something, which falls apart in front of their very eyes, if they are forced to confront the truth - so it has to be "no like" and "I'm not listening" ........... Well it's either that - or a group of farmers who expected it to be a video of a deep field :))
1. I didn't dislike the video 2. There is no magician in the sky there is god! 3. I liked the video so much as it proves the power of creation of god. and what i meant by Zero + Zero + Zero won't get one i mean that god must exist whether you believe in it or not :P
lil Astro Re "I am not a Christian" - I didn't suggest that you were - I actually acknowledged that you were not a fundamentalist Christian and asked you to confirm what your point was, when you replied to my post - so you dance around my question!
sirtalis69 Agreed. In this image, you're looking at 3,000+ GALAXIES. The Drake equation states that there are at LEAST 1,000 inhabited planets in our own galaxy - at MINIMUM. Maximum = 1,000,000 (ONE MILLION!) inhabited planets in our own galaxy. Now multiply that by 3,000. Now consider that you're looking at a fraction of a fraction of the night sky - the equivalent of a grain of sand, not on a beach, but on a WORLD. To think we're alone is not only arrogant, it's ridiculous.
So...point Hubble at a dark spot in space and finding 3000 galaxies, each housing BILLIONS of stars!! Some years later, they point Hubble at another dark spot in space and find 10.000 galaxies....if those galaxies also have billions of stars then I am absolutely convinced that we're not alone in the universe.
+Greg brown Yeah but what if we were alone? And not by any design either, just randomly the only speck of what we define as life...ever in the entire existence of the universe. I mean there's nothing concrete to suggest that there is other life out there, just conjecture based on our own experiences. What if there really is....NOTHING but us? It would kind of give your life new importance wouldn't it? What if instead of living our lives like there's a creator, or life elsewhere, or some sort of significance or purpose...we live life like this is it. Like it never happened before, and will never happen again. Would you not live it to its fullest? Focus on joy, love, and the preservation of life...all life on this tiny, insignificant blue speck adrift in the great cosmos? Just sayin'...what if?
100 billion galaxies..each one containing 100's of billions of stars! We are just a species on 1 planet! If there is truly a god, how insignificant must we be to him?? Stop praying and start loving your neighbor
Nitrobucket - We are insignificant when COMPARED to Him, but faaar from insignificant TO Him. That's precisely what the world and the dark side want you to think and feel. When you truly understand the plan of God and why he made mankind, you'll then understand that the universe was actually created FOR mankind which even some scientists are now beginning to realize because the specific design, balance and mathematical precision of the universe is Soo great that some are now admitting that there is no way that the universe just happened but random accident, fate, chance or evolution. They can even see that the universe seems to be created to specifically give rise to and support life by design.
quran says And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander. every day science proving what quran says before 1400 years while nobody was known that unvirse was expanding until few years ago another example. quran proving big bang before somebody knows it cause it says unvirse was joined entity and then exploded and nobody knows this until few years ago and quran said it before 1400 years (Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?) what quran saying is really mind blowing because it was 1400 years ago and it was all true and science proving this everyday>
I'm going to do it I'm afraid... I'm going to use the 'R' word. But who needs religion when you have this? It's so mind blowing and beautiful. Winged horses, burning bushes and talking snakes. Please.
The existence of the universe raises fundamental questions about its origin and existence. Everything we observe within the universe has a cause - things come into being because of something else. This principle is known as "causality." When we apply this principle to the universe itself, we conclude that the universe, having a beginning (as supported by scientific theories like the Big Bang), must also have a cause. This cause cannot be part of the universe itself; it must be independent, uncaused, and eternal. If it were dependent or had a cause itself, we would fall into an infinite regress, where each cause requires another cause, leading to no ultimate explanation. Thus, the only logical conclusion is the existence of an independent, self-sustaining being that initiated the creation of the universe. This being is what we understand as God, or Allah in Islamic belief. Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. In Islam, the pursuit of scientific knowledge is highly encouraged, as it allows us to understand the intricacies and wonders of Allah’s creation. The Quran repeatedly invites believers to observe the universe, reflect on natural phenomena, and appreciate the signs of Allah’s power and wisdom in the world around us. Therefore, science and religion are not in conflict. Science provides a means to explore the mechanisms and laws that govern the universe, which are ultimately a reflection of Allah’s will and design. By studying the natural world, we gain a deeper appreciation for the Creator, who established these laws and brought the universe into existence. In this way, science is seen as a way to deepen our understanding of Allah’s creation and our place within it.
You are assuming that we are INTELLIGENT ... there seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest we are not! But I get your point: whether intelligent or not, how could there not be life elsewhere in the universe?
It seems quite puzzling how after receiving this new data showing the universe is exponentially more vast than the standard model had shown, we can say there are 100 billion galaxies in the universe. As hard as it is to come to terms with, the evidence seems to point toward an infinite universe. The more we look, the more we see. This goes for the micro scale as well. Just when we thing we have it figured out, there is always more information that snuffs out dated theories. Some would say this is progress, but is there progress toward understanding an infinite universe? Infinity cannot be proven, however, it is a very difficult idea to understand. Our left brain wants to place boundaries on time and space so we can get a better handle on it, so we keep reinventing what those boundaries are once new data is gathered. Throughout history we see an established status quo driven by egos that mistakenly believes it has a good perspective on the universe with not much else to understand. I don't see any difference with the current paradigm. The innate push to attain an all-knowing understanding seems to blind all who are on that quest. Just sayin'
Dennis Kautz "Throughout history we see an established status quo driven by egos that mistakenly believes it has a good perspective on the universe." That was before the Scientific Method. This was before people became accountable for what they say. This is what differentiates science and religion. But please, pontificate.
iambiggus I think it is naive to think politics and egos don't have a place in the scientific world. While the scientific method is a great idea, the practicality is another thing altogether. There are huge assumptions within many fields of science that are believed and taught as fact without empirical evidences. The thought of having dogmas within science is abhorrent to most scientists but, by definition, dogmas exist in science just like in any belief system. One rarely questions a peer reviewed and approved study thinking that those involved are driven by the truth. For example, the pharmaceutical companies throw tons of money at peer-reviewed journals. One doesn't have to take a huge leap of faith to see the conflict of interests that arise. A mere threat of pulling ads can make any editor reconsider articles published that may conflict with a pharmaceutical company's study of a particular drug's harms. It is a big leap, however, to think that money and corruption don't exist in this realm. Before anyone makes an assumption that I am a Creationist (or a theist for that matter), I am most definitely not. I no longer take consensus theory as a high probability, though, and am critical of being force fed the "truth" as I was subjected to in my state administered schooling.
Dennis Kautz You demand empirical evidence but are willing to give credibility to something that by definition requires none? Strange. I deliberately choose not to believe in something that is open to interpretation and has absolutely zero empirical evidence behind it. Religion requires NO justification for existing. It can't even justify itself to be in the discussions on a science video on TH-cam, but, here we are.
iambiggus Please clarify "demand empirical evidence" and what "requires none". I am not following you. I am not religious at all but I do see many assumptions made in both religion and science. I also see theists and atheists have blind faith in theories based on assumptions. For example, there is no empirical evidence for the big bang theory, dark matter and dark energy and yet they are widely accepted as fact in the scientific community and media. By the way, few know that the big bang theory was created by a Catholic bishop, Monsignor Georges Lemaître and he used the book of Genesis as his model. His theory was ridiculed by many prominent scientists including Einstein who told Lemaître his physics was "abominable". Judging by your statement, you do not believe in the big bang, dark energy or dark matter? Again, I am not defending religion in the least bit, but only saying that there are more similarities between scientism and religious. I'm not condemning all of science either. Science based on observation is ideal, however, most cosmologist are lost in a theoretical thinking without empirical data to support their complex theorems using made up dark energy and dark matter to make the math work. That is akin to religion, whether you like to want it to be or not.
One hundred billion galaxies, each of which contain one hundred billion stars, all of which might be just contained in a single out of hundreds of billions of universes, in hundreds of billions of multi-verses. Where is your god now?? O_O
You got a point.. all that you just described was probably created by the United Nations... out of thin air. Thank God for people like you to help us see thru all that God stuff.
There are many Gods but one creator. We and everything else in the universe are just some laboratory experiment using DNA.This is happening in every galaxy out there(Yes there are more humans elsewhere) Hey if we can use it to clone chickens for KFC anything is possible lol Happy trails to u
What is God? When someone can tell me exactly what god is, I will start thinking if it exists and if I can conclude that whenever I watch a beautiful thing from Nature is a proof of its very existence.
+TheoBrixtonTheKid the irony of your statement is that it was created. It didn't always just exist and it was created by something that may as well be a god to us.
+Brett HartsellI hate to admit it, but when you think about it, your pretty much right. For all we know, this is just a simulation, but on the other hand. it might be real, and because the universe is expanding, it had to start at some point, somewhere. but the reason it all started and from what is just impossible to comprehend. We humans have our own problems here on earth that we worry about, but when you look at it from a bigger perspective, it doesnt mean anything at all. we could literally just drop dead right now and nothing would change. no matter what happens here on earth, it wont affect the universe the slightest.. :)
+TheoBrixtonTheKid Yep, Occams Razor. What is more likely: - The Universe started spontaneously by itself (or has always existed, e.g. bang>crunch>bang etc) OR - An infinite god/gods randomly came into existence (or have always existed) and THEN created the universe (presumably to amuse itself) The first option has less variables for me.
+Joey -é Perhaps there is a creator, but how do you know which one? Since the dawn of civilization (as we can verify) there have been 20k different gods/Gods. Some, like the Greeks, had many gods that were worshiped for 1000s upon 1000s of years. Some religions, like Christianity are new (only 2k years old)... Even if there is a creator, one thing is clear... we don't know which story is correct
Can't imagine the reaction of those astronomers when they saw the photo first back in 1996 thinking they might get a black image with nothing to see but soon they realized that we are just in one of the many many galaxies out there!
This video always gives me the chills whenever I come back to it. After seeing this, no one should believe we’re the only intelligent beings in the universe.
I remember watching this video back in 2009 and how it changed my perspective on life and the cosmos. Now, 12 years later I can't wait for the James Webb telescope to blow my mind again and remind us we a just a small blip in the grand scheme of things.
One of my favorite videos from you guys, the score could have been better but that's not the important part of the video anyways. So profound, so awe inspiring.
When HUDF image was posted, I was so flippin excited [I was stoked for HDF in the first place]! But im' looking forward to the James Webb Ultra Deep Field...that is going to be absolutely amazing. The amount of light we're able to capture with that telescope is outstanding. Last time I checked, they are expecting to see galaxies in their baby stages. We're tracking light from such a long time ago!
Deep Astronomy I found the song, Midnight Hymm by Yanni, on TH-cam, but I can't find the vocals without the instruments that you put at the end of your video. Do you have a link?! Pleasepleasepleasewithacherryontopandthankyou
Reminds me in a small way of the first time I used my new 13". It was cloudy with absolutely nothing to see. My friend talked me into setting it up and pointing it straight up. There were hundreds of stars and we were amazed. Of course when the sky was clear there were thousands in wide field views but I'll never forget that first view with the 13 on a cloudy night, not expecting to see anything.
Imagine all the types of life out there !! Amazing to think that this photograph was taken like looking through a straw and they discovered so much. Really blows my mind!!
Just a question, how do the know that where they were looking at was one of the earliest galaxies ever? I mean you can point the hubble at any direction, they way i get it is that they are pointing Hubble to where the expansion of the universe started. How do they know that it all started from that direction?
+Str8 Royalty /The Universe is expanding equally in ALL directions. The further we look, the faster things are moving away from us, and it's doing it in every direction that you look. Imagine the earth on a small rubber sheet. Then imagine that people holding the sheet at its edge begin pulling. It keeps stretching out. The stuff that was on the edge of the sheet when you started is now really far away and moving really fast. But if you have a powerful enough telescope, you see FROM the earth TO the edge of the rubber sheet. So the farther you can see, you can look back onto the original galaxies, the oldest ones. So in this way, the farther you look in any direction, the farther BACK IN TIME you're looking! Mind blowing! When you first started and the sheet was small, the galaxies that were on the edge were the originals. As the Universe expanded, newer galaxies formed. The ones closest to us are mostly younger.
+Knowledge IsPower The expansion of the universe took place (and still does) everywhere. The universe didn't expand from one particular point, it took place everywhere but that everywhere was just a lot smaller.
Question:@2:04 we see the light emmited by that other galaxy getting more and more redshifted, but should it? I mean, the faster it goes away from us the more red it becomes, but the light beam showed in there was beamed to us when the Universe was young and that galaxy was relatively close to us, aka, moving not that fast yet. So that beam of light should maintain it's colour, because even if that galaxy all of a sudden moved at almost the speed of light, if that beam had already departed it, it's completely separated from it. So I think only the next beam should be slightly more to the red (because meanwhile the galaxy moved away a bit), and the next a little bit more, and the next and the next. Am I right here? Only speed affects the red-shift, or does distance (as implied in this video) affect it too? Because if it doesn't, the correct animation should be beams of light getting more reddish, not as they travel to us (being originally more blue), but as the galaxy moves away (already red when they get beamed from the galaxy, if the latest is moving away fast enough) I hope I made sense here.
Beautiful video, thanks for uploading. We, [ the milky way galaxy ] are most likely in a deep field image taken from at least one of the galaxies in our deep field image. That's wild but probably true.
This light is all red shifted. Is it possible to by some form of data processing to blue shift the data back to its estimated original frequency content?
it should be. you can only calculate the redshift from the Hubble law if the actual wavelength emitted by the galaxy (rest wavelength) is known. so there must be a way to figure out the rest wavelength
The Sun has a black body radiance of 5778K you could correct to that. For very distant bodies I guess I would correct to the value of a nearby (relativly) red giant star such as Betelgeuse. Autocorrelate 500 miliseconds of the lightpulse on the pixel and subtract out auto correlation and convolve a 50 milisecond sample of clear 6000K radiance. Sum the samples, normalize and all that stuff and see what it looks like. In sound this process is called deconvolution. Should work with light too.
![Hubble Telescope’s Greatest Discoveries [4K]](/img/n.gif)
I have the ultra deep field as my desktop background. I have watched these videos several times, and I'm still so truly humbled by the images collected. It almost moves me to tears in its simple yet immense and awesome beauty. Thank you Hubble
I like how Hubble resembles the word Humble, which is exactly how I feel after viewing this image.
+Sue Mead Exactly.
+Sue Mead I too had the same reaction of being mesmerized, almost with tears in my eyes.. When I was looking at the video, a thought came to my mind: we come from there.. the stars
I have it as my mouse pad.
I was teaching my sixth grade students about the HUDF today and they were on the edge of their seats as I described it to them. They were, as I was and still am, in complete awe at the implications of this incredibly inspiring photo. I get emotional thinking about it.
I set aside a short amount of time to discuss this with my students as it's not part of our regular discussions but we ended up spending nearly two periods discussing it. They wanted to know more. They were hungry for knowledge and I couldn't disappoint them. This makes learning such a beautiful thing.
keep it up, its up to you to interest kids in science.
siberus48 I just met with parents at PTA and a parent of one of my students told me that her son hasn't stopped searching for images of space, planets, galaxies, etc. since that day. He spends a lot of his free time studying them. When I heard that I was absolutely elated. I occasionally hear stories like that and each time a parent thanks me for getting their child interested in something I feel privileged to have been a part of that. It really is the greatest reward. My first fifth grade students graduate from college this year and a small group has invited me to their graduation. I haven't been their teacher for nearly a decade and I was blown away to hear that they wanted me to be a part it their celebration. I have no idea what I did to deserve it and I hope they tell me what I did right so I can continue to do it.
Ed Gloss keep it up :)
Its people like you that make teaching worthy and noble. If only every teacher was as commited and enthusiastic as you...
Wish i am one of your students
It's amazing that the photons from the galaxy's in the deep field image, began their journey to a telescope that had not yet been built by a species that had not yet begun to exist on a planet that did not exist orbiting a star that didn't exist, in a galaxy that was just beginning to form.
moral of the story?
no matter where you look, there is always something to see.
indeed
PMW3 Mandelbrot set
Wisdom.
True
Can't wait to see what the James Webb can do.
zpe1200 1-2 months from now
delayed to mid-2020 :-(
not to much just grabbed some more vision of early galaxies
In the meantime, look up the recent Legacy Field photo
I think they will launch it next year all being well . But I think it will take a few years after the launch to position itself and get data back to earth
When I am sad, I start to think about the universe and suddenly my problems seem meaningless
lol
Next 2 get fatter
Don't worry, everything is meaningless. But it's still a good life!
it doesnt help if youre sad because you will die one day and never know what was in all these galaxies.
Me too. thanks :)
I feel like nothing after watching this. Just imagine how many fucking starts and planets there is out there! Im 100% sure there is other planets with life forms on them out there. and who knows, maybe something close to humans. and maybe one of them is looking up at the sky right now, at night, dreaming of other lifeforms in the universe. and maybe, just maybe, that "person" is looking directly at our planet without even knowing it. This blows my mind.
+GranVlog If there was a chance to get on a spaceship even if it's worth my life, i would be like hell fukin yea... take me out of here
+GranVlog Yes..some other species looking through their telescopes thinking the same...
+GranVlog :-) Try to feel like something cause you are abble to see and percieve that. I doubt that in a few light-years volume space there is a life formthat is abble to do that. We did that and if we were proud of that I believe that there would be less wars arroud because of some sqare meters of land.
+GranVlog Don't feel like nothing after watching this. Just think of all the company there is out there.
Humans Don't need to know 'Everything'. There is a boundary for our knowledge.
cant imagine how many different civilizations lives there
+Назар Ильдаров Those old galaxies probably have the smartest intelligence life of the universe, we are seeing a pic of those galaxies of 13,200 billion years ago,when the universe was only 500 million years old, so right now this place is way different.
+Brighan Colon Rodriguez hopefully they avoid the human race..................
+aaron keeth No I hope they come here in peace, so we can be friends.
never happen................aliens might be friendly but we sure aint
Maybe lots of aliens are just stupid creatures like sheep, living on different planets.
Blows my mind every single time I watch this..
That was breathtaking.
So is the woman in your picture :)
agree, as he says the size is just way beyond comprehension it really is
smooth as sand paper.
Allah says in the Quran "...We have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it.... " (Surah 51:47).
Amazing! How insignificant mankind is, yet we spend our time fighting with each other instead of learning what is around us...
because we were forged to fight.
Right? Stinking leftists melting down over a choked-out methhead felon is one of the most pathetic things in human history.
I was Tony's one of the first subscribers and I a glad to see that this video had crossed more than 9.5 million views!
billions and billions of galaxies each one of them contains billions of stars and billions of planets.
there must be another life out there, we can't be alone .... just keep looking.
By pure statistics there MUST be life out there, even if just 0,00000001% of all planets had life, there would be trillions of planets with life, the problem is that they are too far away to actually making contact
The universe is teeming with life, because the universe is alive
I don’t think it’s even the size of the Universe that is our real barrier...but that elusive concept we know as time...will we be around long enough to finally discover other life forms? Our own Sun has another 4-5 billion years in its present stage of life, before it runs out of Hydrogen, then, it will expand, and start burning Helium, becoming a Red Giant in the process, and extinguishing all life on Earth. The problem there is, as I say, will he have developed our technology in time long before that eventuality, if we haven’t destroyed ourselves in the meantime, that is? Time, ahem, will tell...
Am I the only one crying because of how magical and wonderous it all is? Even better is that it's real.
First image from James Webb dropped today. Absolutely stunning.
The universe has no "edge" in that infinite creation exists as far as we’ve been able to see in every new photo taken by each and every space telescope. The Hubble platform has been revamped with a new camera and retrofits until its planned replacement -the James Webb Space Telescope- can be launched in 2018. In addition, another three, extremely large, ground-based telescopes should be finished in 2016. Those advanced devices will dwarf the smaller, older viewing tools that have been used by current observatories for decades, permitting us to peer much farther into the cosmos. These are exciting times!
When I'm driving and it's snowing I feel like I'm in the video flying light speed thru space
+ThirdNUnion we are in a space and except we're on a giant rocky ball plus moving faster than a car.
+ThirdNUnion
Yes I thought the exact same thing when driving through snow.
ThirdNUnion I used to do the same with the old windows screensaver.
Just because your telescope has 4-wheel drive doesn't mean it has 4-wheel stop. SLOW DOWN before you hit a planet and cause a interstellar incident!
It's fascinating to know how small and insignificant we are. Think about all of the other civilizations, looking up at the stars, looking at Earth, and wondering if life is out there.
I wish we could know more.
If I'm not wrong, before these images they actually thought the entire universe was just our galaxy. What an honor it is to be able to witness this. There could be countless civilizations out there. In fact there could have been countless civilizations that came into existence and died out before our sun even formed.
+Aaron B Incorrect. There's plenty of galaxies observable with groundbased telescopes, some can even be seen by the naked eye.
+housemastah Good to know. Thank you.
You're wrong they've known about other galaxies for a long time :)
And by they I mean we.
Aaron B The Ultra Deep field is so far away that the light that we use to see the galaxies would of reached us millions of years after the moments we see of them. This means if we do in fact find other civilisations in the Ultra Deep Field, we are witnessing civilisations millions of years old!
I love the closed caption at 2:55. Really helps us hard of hearing folks. Also I’ve got an ultra high resolution 48x48 inch poster of this ultra deep field in my garage.
Who's cutting onions...
Smoky The Arsonist Holy shit i thought it was strange how this made me cry
+Valen S Because it completely embodies the true definition of awesome. It is overwhelmingly beautiful and humbling. I don't understand how someone can watch this and not at least be a little choked up.
+Valen S nobody is cryingh !! its the god damn onions......pay attention
+Smoky The Arsonist I know right? This is breathtakingly beautiful!
I still remember this moment very well.. I had chills all over aswell.. I just sat there stunned
2:54 that voice singing in the background sounds an awful lot like Rammstein's "Sonne"
So glad I'm not the only one who heard that.
you ever think that rammstein maybe used a previous recording of that singing for Sonne
Yeah it sounds soooo similar haha
Spectrasonics Lamenting 6, 7, 8, and 10. both Remmstein and creators of this video sampled them together to create a song. and there you have it.
There is no answer to "where did the universe come from?" It relies on a language that we invented. There is no "why" or "where" because it objectively means nothing to the universe. These questions only seem like they make sense to us because we created them to begin with.
Ive never thought about that. Thats amazing
Answer is in Quran
th-cam.com/video/l1vBXFhseMk/w-d-xo.html
Good shit dude. I saved this.
I agree with you, but what about the question "how" or "what"? Causality is an objective concept. It is there whether we exist or whether we believe in it. If there is an effect (beginning of the universe), what's the cause?
Love nearly everything about this channel. Only one complaint. The background music to most of these vids is over the top. Just bring it down a notch. IMHO
this video should be shown to every 7th grade class in america
Seriously, who 'thumbs down' this?!
+Missy Coffman People with faith cannot reason! they can't stand this realizations.
+Missy Coffman Flat earthers and Bible thumpers who think it's just all made up. People who are the laughing stock of the human race. People whose brains are not as evolved as the rest of ours. People I wish we could stick on a rocket and send flying into the sun. People I wish didn't exist in the first place. People who hold the rest of us back from really truly getting anywhere. Basically a bunch of assholes. :)
+Terran B I follow a religion, but I'm no bible-thumper. I do urge you to consider the fact that calling us assholes is hypocrisy. I mean, you are the one being so ignorant to what other people think that you're saying we should be flown into the sun. Sorry, I wasn't aware you are the prime subject of advanced human evolution and you know all the answers to the universe. You are not more evolved, and in fact, if anyone were more evolved, it would be those who don't discount the thoughts of others. Back in the early ages, people didn't like what people had to say about creation, and threatened to (or actually did) kill them. Now, think about what you just said, compare it to them, and see how much you've really evolved.
Brains are not as evolved as the rest of ours...
That's axiomatically incorrect. No such thing as being less evolved.
Everything on earth is at the same stage of evolution. There is no end target, no ultimate goal with evolution. We humans are no more evolved than a fish or a germ as we exist at the same time (we could be considered more complex).
Evolution is the change in a genome from one parent to the offspring. Your thought of evolution is the same as that of those Bible thumpers.
What you should say is 'less intelligent', less you be considered less 'Evolved' by others ;)
Flat Earthers
I must possess a very shallow mind. Here is perhaps one of the most profound images ever produced by humans, and all I can think about is why over three hundred people gave this a thumbs down. My mind struggles with that concept more than the implication of 13 billion year old photons reaching our little area of the universe. Am I loony?
In a way those photons are now immortal and resurrected through your computer monitor through your eyes onto your retina and into your brain so you can see the image. Beautiful.
You're not shallow, and you're not looney, Danny. You have latched on to the great irony of our age. The thumbs-down are probably Baptists, upset that their stone-age view of the world is now discarded in favour of empirical observation. That image, arguablly THE most important every produced by humans, must make us humble, must make us consider our place in the universe without superstition, or the supernatural, or eternal punishment or life.
I'm hoping to find a wall-sized poster of that image. I need to look at it every day.
briggsquantum while i agree with you on the being humble, how should this picture make us concider a world without the supernatural? i mean after all, what IS supernatural? basically it is something we have not yet understood and found any rules for. Had you shown early civilizations a magnet, you were a magician. had you told the egyptians we would have steel birds to fly in, they would have thought you a madman. Had you known about electricity in roman times, you were a wizard! had you talked about quantum mechanics 100 years ago they would have you locked up. Its all relative and besides that, i dont see anything here disproving there is anything superior to humans, quite the contrary if you ask me. now i am no bible thumber, far from it,yet i do chose to believe there are higher entities than these few monkeys on a rock in the middle of this HUGE universe. we just CANNOT be "da shit" out there :)
ArctanThardus I think we have a different view of "supernatural". It is the belief in another state of existence. It has nothing to do with observed phenomena, although the ancients attempted to explain magnets and thunder and lightning through gods of various sorts.
Science dispels that by demanding evidence. So magnets and lightning were investigated and eventually explained without the use of gods. Science also permits one to say "I don't know." whereas religion always has some response, gods will, miracles, burning bushes and so on.
More than likely there is life on a vast scale elsewhere in the universe. We're not all there is, but at the moment we have no way of knowing, and so I'm comfortable with "we don't know". I'm not comfortable with "god exists outside space and time….blah blah blah".
Because fuck the universe and all the meaningless suffering it has created.
The most mind blowing aspect of this is the realisation that, as the narrator states, every pinprick or blob of light is a galaxy, which, in itself, takes up a large volume of space, yet is merely a speck of light in the greater context of the Universe as a whole...that alone gives us at least an idea of the unimaginable scale of the Universe...it is truly beyond our imagination...
And people still think that the only living organisms in the Universe are on Earth. It's impossible.
It's not impossible.
It's not impossible, it's highly improbable according to our current knowledge about universe and living creatures.
sparnman
yes it is. How does your brain work?
life started here with 2 different types of bacteria. Where did they come from?
The Universe is full of life. Full, Read your bible.
I think you are mixing up God the creator and Lord God who mated 'man' with Eve, thus creating hu-mans!
If you don't understand let me know and I will tell you the real story.
Fuck the sheep, LoL
Rare Earth hypothesis says there's 1 earth-like planet per galaxy. Currently it seems only one tenth of the galaxies can support carbon based life. Still if there are 100 billion galaxies that's still 10 billion earth-like planets out there with complex life. Now to actually be able to travel to other galaxies... that would be a feat.
Tony T You are an abhorrently repellent human being with obviously no prior training in the sciences, "Life started here with 2 different bacteria", Are you serious? The exact same amount of bacteria would have been found then, as now. Also, how dare you, how fucking DARE you, to use your space monkey's schizophrenic little diary as an objective, infallible truth to argue logical and scientific points of reasoning.
And this is coming from a 14 year old...
Please please please, buy/acquire the book 'The God Delusion'. It may change your mind.
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Sombrero most beautiful galaxy I've ever seen
Big TH-cam nerd here, this is still one of my all time favorite videos
I'm glad this has over 8 millions views.
BTW, the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to Hubble, will provide even deeper views into the Universe, back to the first galaxies ("baby galaxies") after the Big Bang. Some very cool tech. By the end of this century, our children and grandchildren should have a profoundly deeper understanding of the universe. More science please!
Hello from the day the first Webb images were released :)
this literally changed my life and how I look at it..
You know, this is (personally) the most important thing I've ever seen. It's keeping me sane and focused during this crazy time. We're a speck. Our lives and deaths, whether we be the president or a janitor or an earthworm or an amoeba, are of the same absolute importance in this place in which we live. Though I suspect many if not most religious people would find these ideas terrifying, I find them comforting.
If this is what we can do with Hubble just imagine what the James Webb space telescope will show us
That one is more of an infrared telescope because of how red shifted all the visible light coming to us has become, but you're right it certainly will help us study things better
you sir, are an idiot
Science has definitely convinced me of the exsistence of a Creator!
God is real.
This video makes me feel ok that I don't have any faith in religion.
Why?
+Robinkae Because IMO religion was created as a way to deal with the unknown origin of humanity before we had the ability to get real answers with science and technology.
This video provides us with a stunning view and a new perception into just how massive and complex the universe is. Even the parts of the universe that look empty.
...besides, it only takes a half hour of research into religion to become totally turned off by it. Between hating on gays, slaves, unnecessary rules, false information concerning the creation of Earth and the entirety of the Bible having been translated countless times; and that's just Christianity.
The kid rape really rubs me the wrong way too. Along with the subsequent cover ups by the Catholic church.
Thank you for a well defined answer.
+Billy Sotherden Likewise. When measured against the awe-inspiring vastness of the known universe, our puny, feeble attempts to build systems of belief and organize around them become meaningless and irrelevant. It therefore follows, fittingly, to identify oneself as a nullifidian.
+Billy Sotherden Yes but science is ALSO a religion thus rendering your comment oxymoronic. You have no real tangible way of verifying the information about the universe that you have been indoctrinated and inculcated to believe since a young child; you simply have faith in NASA's world view, nothing more nothing less.
Absolutely amazing. It blows my mind that not even a few generations ago, we didn't know what mysteries the moon had hidden in the midst of her, and here I am learning about the Hubble ultra deep field in 3D. 😊☺😇
i usually don't care when I see a bunch of thumb downs on good videos like this one, but over 300 thumb down is absolutely ridiculous. Must be a bunch of religious nuts who still think that some magical being in the sky is making the sun revolve around earth.
The issue of discontent must be the irrefutable truth that the light from the distant galaxies has taken billions of years to reach us. This messes with the minds of the 300 - who, as you comment, must be fundamentalist believers in something, which falls apart in front of their very eyes, if they are forced to confront the truth - so it has to be "no like" and "I'm not listening" ........... Well it's either that - or a group of farmers who expected it to be a video of a deep field :))
1. I didn't dislike the video
2. There is no magician in the sky there is god!
3. I liked the video so much as it proves the power of creation of god.
and what i meant by Zero + Zero + Zero won't get one i mean that god must exist whether you believe in it or not :P
I am not Christian (-_-)
lil Astro Re "I am not a Christian" - I didn't suggest that you were - I actually acknowledged that you were not a fundamentalist Christian and asked you to confirm what your point was, when you replied to my post - so you dance around my question!
lil Astro You don't even know what proof is so don't use that word.
I am in awe.
After seeing this video, how can anyone still be dumb or arrogant enough to believe that we're the only ones out there?
Fermi's Paradox
Arthur C Clarke said that whether we are utterly alone in the Universe or if we are not alone the concept is mind blowing either way.
sirtalis69 Agreed. In this image, you're looking at 3,000+ GALAXIES. The Drake equation states that there are at LEAST 1,000 inhabited planets in our own galaxy - at MINIMUM. Maximum = 1,000,000 (ONE MILLION!) inhabited planets in our own galaxy. Now multiply that by 3,000. Now consider that you're looking at a fraction of a fraction of the night sky - the equivalent of a grain of sand, not on a beach, but on a WORLD. To think we're alone is not only arrogant, it's ridiculous.
Joel Hassig I hope you realise the Drake equation is an estimate.
This is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen in my life.
So...point Hubble at a dark spot in space and finding 3000 galaxies, each housing BILLIONS of stars!!
Some years later, they point Hubble at another dark spot in space and find 10.000 galaxies....if those galaxies also have billions of stars then I am absolutely convinced that we're not alone in the universe.
Campaigner82 they have trillions of stars lol our galaxy is diminutive to even our closest neighborhood Andromeda
Carl Clark
sad to know that most human beings will never know about this, simply cause they don't give a shit
100 billion galaxy's... yea, we are not alone, not way.
+Greg brown Yeah but what if we were alone? And not by any design either, just randomly the only speck of what we define as life...ever in the entire existence of the universe. I mean there's nothing concrete to suggest that there is other life out there, just conjecture based on our own experiences. What if there really is....NOTHING but us? It would kind of give your life new importance wouldn't it? What if instead of living our lives like there's a creator, or life elsewhere, or some sort of significance or purpose...we live life like this is it. Like it never happened before, and will never happen again. Would you not live it to its fullest? Focus on joy, love, and the preservation of life...all life on this tiny, insignificant blue speck adrift in the great cosmos?
Just sayin'...what if?
+Jacques Doucheteau
We're not alone... You've got me... and I've got you, and then there's the rest of us too...
We are listening but no signal which can be from other civilization.
The HUDF is still the most important, meaningful & impressive pictures ever taken!
This video is so deep
It's Ultra Deep.
Because it is Deep Space.
100 billion galaxies..each one containing 100's of billions of stars! We are just a species on 1 planet! If there is truly a god, how insignificant must we be to him?? Stop praying and start loving your neighbor
Why can't I do both? :(
Nitrobucket - We are insignificant when COMPARED to Him, but faaar from insignificant TO Him. That's precisely what the world and the dark side want you to think and feel. When you truly understand the plan of God and why he made mankind, you'll then understand that the universe was actually created FOR mankind which even some scientists are now beginning to realize because the specific design, balance and mathematical precision of the universe is Soo great that some are now admitting that there is no way that the universe just happened but random accident, fate, chance or evolution. They can even see that the universe seems to be created to specifically give rise to and support life by design.
quran says And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander. every day science proving what quran says before 1400 years while nobody was known that unvirse was expanding until few years ago another example. quran proving big bang before somebody knows it cause it says unvirse was joined entity and then exploded and nobody knows this until few years ago and quran said it before 1400 years (Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?) what quran saying is really mind blowing because it was 1400 years ago and it was all true and science proving this everyday>
عبدالكريم الصالح The quran is false
I'm going to do it I'm afraid... I'm going to use the 'R' word. But who needs religion when you have this? It's so mind blowing and beautiful. Winged horses, burning bushes and talking snakes. Please.
The existence of the universe raises fundamental questions about its origin and existence. Everything we observe within the universe has a cause - things come into being because of something else. This principle is known as "causality." When we apply this principle to the universe itself, we conclude that the universe, having a beginning (as supported by scientific theories like the Big Bang), must also have a cause.
This cause cannot be part of the universe itself; it must be independent, uncaused, and eternal. If it were dependent or had a cause itself, we would fall into an infinite regress, where each cause requires another cause, leading to no ultimate explanation. Thus, the only logical conclusion is the existence of an independent, self-sustaining being that initiated the creation of the universe. This being is what we understand as God, or Allah in Islamic belief.
Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. In Islam, the pursuit of scientific knowledge is highly encouraged, as it allows us to understand the intricacies and wonders of Allah’s creation. The Quran repeatedly invites believers to observe the universe, reflect on natural phenomena, and appreciate the signs of Allah’s power and wisdom in the world around us.
Therefore, science and religion are not in conflict. Science provides a means to explore the mechanisms and laws that govern the universe, which are ultimately a reflection of Allah’s will and design. By studying the natural world, we gain a deeper appreciation for the Creator, who established these laws and brought the universe into existence. In this way, science is seen as a way to deepen our understanding of Allah’s creation and our place within it.
Shut bro, stop being stupid. "talking snakes" wth do you mean with that? God couldnt create a snake that talked?
Truly understanding this scale will surely change anyone just like it changed me a few years ago.
watch this video and then really think about if it is even remotely possibly that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.
You are assuming that we are INTELLIGENT ... there seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest we are not! But I get your point: whether intelligent or not, how could there not be life elsewhere in the universe?
We are not intelligent... Look at our world... It`s a mess...
It seems quite puzzling how after receiving this new data showing the universe is exponentially more vast than the standard model had shown, we can say there are 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
As hard as it is to come to terms with, the evidence seems to point toward an infinite universe. The more we look, the more we see. This goes for the micro scale as well. Just when we thing we have it figured out, there is always more information that snuffs out dated theories. Some would say this is progress, but is there progress toward understanding an infinite universe? Infinity cannot be proven, however, it is a very difficult idea to understand. Our left brain wants to place boundaries on time and space so we can get a better handle on it, so we keep reinventing what those boundaries are once new data is gathered. Throughout history we see an established status quo driven by egos that mistakenly believes it has a good perspective on the universe with not much else to understand. I don't see any difference with the current paradigm. The innate push to attain an all-knowing understanding seems to blind all who are on that quest.
Just sayin'
*****
I'm not a Big Banger, if that's what you are referring to. If not, please elaborate.
Dennis Kautz "Throughout history we see an established status quo driven by egos that mistakenly believes it has a good perspective on the universe."
That was before the Scientific Method.
This was before people became accountable for what they say.
This is what differentiates science and religion.
But please, pontificate.
iambiggus
I think it is naive to think politics and egos don't have a place in the scientific world. While the scientific method is a great idea, the practicality is another thing altogether. There are huge assumptions within many fields of science that are believed and taught as fact without empirical evidences. The thought of having dogmas within science is abhorrent to most scientists but, by definition, dogmas exist in science just like in any belief system. One rarely questions a peer reviewed and approved study thinking that those involved are driven by the truth.
For example, the pharmaceutical companies throw tons of money at peer-reviewed journals. One doesn't have to take a huge leap of faith to see the conflict of interests that arise. A mere threat of pulling ads can make any editor reconsider articles published that may conflict with a pharmaceutical company's study of a particular drug's harms. It is a big leap, however, to think that money and corruption don't exist in this realm.
Before anyone makes an assumption that I am a Creationist (or a theist for that matter), I am most definitely not. I no longer take consensus theory as a high probability, though, and am critical of being force fed the "truth" as I was subjected to in my state administered schooling.
Dennis Kautz You demand empirical evidence but are willing to give credibility to something that by definition requires none? Strange.
I deliberately choose not to believe in something that is open to interpretation and has absolutely zero empirical evidence behind it.
Religion requires NO justification for existing. It can't even justify itself to be in the discussions on a science video on TH-cam, but, here we are.
iambiggus
Please clarify "demand empirical evidence" and what "requires none". I am not following you. I am not religious at all but I do see many assumptions made in both religion and science. I also see theists and atheists have blind faith in theories based on assumptions.
For example, there is no empirical evidence for the big bang theory, dark matter and dark energy and yet they are widely accepted as fact in the scientific community and media. By the way, few know that the big bang theory was created by a Catholic bishop, Monsignor Georges Lemaître and he used the book of Genesis as his model. His theory was ridiculed by many prominent scientists including Einstein who told Lemaître his physics was "abominable".
Judging by your statement, you do not believe in the big bang, dark energy or dark matter?
Again, I am not defending religion in the least bit, but only saying that there are more similarities between scientism and religious. I'm not condemning all of science either. Science based on observation is ideal, however, most cosmologist are lost in a theoretical thinking without empirical data to support their complex theorems using made up dark energy and dark matter to make the math work. That is akin to religion, whether you like to want it to be or not.
Thank you NASA. Thank you USA.
Screw you!
@@SilverThyme 🖕
Nicely done and proof That when you have something meaningful to share, hype is unnecessary.
After seeing this video, I closed my eyes to imagine the wonder of God. The result? I just fell asleep.
One hundred billion galaxies, each of which contain one hundred billion stars, all of which might be just contained in a single out of hundreds of billions of universes, in hundreds of billions of multi-verses.
Where is your god now?? O_O
He’s right there..
You got a point.. all that you just described was probably created by the United Nations... out of thin air. Thank God for people like you to help us see thru all that God stuff.
abschussrampe
What does that have to do with God 😂
Wow! Proof that God has been hard at work forever!
What I find incredible is that by viewing this distant galaxies, you're looking into the past. that gives me chills.
After seeing this can you doubt the existence of God?
There are many Gods but one creator. We and everything else in the universe are just some laboratory experiment using DNA.This is happening in every galaxy out there(Yes there are more humans elsewhere) Hey if we can use it to clone chickens for KFC anything is possible lol Happy trails to u
What is God? When someone can tell me exactly what god is, I will start thinking if it exists and if I can conclude that whenever I watch a beautiful thing from Nature is a proof of its very existence.
Yes doubt and debunk the existence of the creator/maker/god whatever.
All created by God right? Lol....
+TheoBrixtonTheKid the irony of your statement is that it was created. It didn't always just exist and it was created by something that may as well be a god to us.
+Brett HartsellI hate to admit it, but when you think about it, your pretty much right.
For all we know, this is just a simulation, but on the other hand. it might be real, and because the universe is expanding, it had to start at some point, somewhere. but the reason it all started and from what is just impossible to comprehend. We humans have our own problems here on earth that we worry about, but when you look at it from a bigger perspective, it doesnt mean anything at all. we could literally just drop dead right now and nothing would change. no matter what happens here on earth, it wont affect the universe the slightest.. :)
+TheoBrixtonTheKid Yep, Occams Razor.
What is more likely:
- The Universe started spontaneously by itself (or has always existed, e.g. bang>crunch>bang etc)
OR
- An infinite god/gods randomly came into existence (or have always existed) and THEN created the universe (presumably to amuse itself)
The first option has less variables for me.
+Joey -é Perhaps there is a creator, but how do you know which one? Since the dawn of civilization (as we can verify) there have been 20k different gods/Gods. Some, like the Greeks, had many gods that were worshiped for 1000s upon 1000s of years. Some religions, like Christianity are new (only 2k years old)... Even if there is a creator, one thing is clear... we don't know which story is correct

Amazing! Love the music also, it was a fantastic choice to this video. Thank you for posting.
Probably my favorite thing I've ever seen.
Finally the proper version of this video
Can't imagine the reaction of those astronomers when they saw the photo first back in 1996 thinking they might get a black image with nothing to see but soon they realized that we are just in one of the many many galaxies out there!
This video always gives me the chills whenever I come back to it. After seeing this, no one should believe we’re the only intelligent beings in the universe.
This is so fantastic it just boggles the human mind. What is even more boggling is that many people gave this a thumbs down. Who are these people?
I remember watching this video back in 2009 and how it changed my perspective on life and the cosmos. Now, 12 years later I can't wait for the James Webb telescope to blow my mind again and remind us we a just a small blip in the grand scheme of things.
Literally same man. Remember watching this in school. Now I work full time. Fuck where has the time gone.. 🥺
@katchaontheflipside: Appropriately enough, the vocals starting at 2:52 are a sample used in the Rammstein song "Sonne"!
I can sit and watch these images from deep space all day, so stunning.
I have known of these pictures for a long time but every time I see them i'm always awe struck by how vast the universe is.
YUGEN. Pure and Simple. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
This is my favourite video of all time!
One of my favorite videos from you guys, the score could have been better but that's not the important part of the video anyways. So profound, so awe inspiring.
This video still brings me to goosebumps and tears.
When HUDF image was posted, I was so flippin excited [I was stoked for HDF in the first place]! But im' looking forward to the James Webb Ultra Deep Field...that is going to be absolutely amazing. The amount of light we're able to capture with that telescope is outstanding. Last time I checked, they are expecting to see galaxies in their baby stages. We're tracking light from such a long time ago!
Your videos embody perfectly my passion for astronomy. Thank you so much for your uploads; great channel! Don't forget to share this video
Deep Astronomy I found the song, Midnight Hymm by Yanni, on TH-cam, but I can't find the vocals without the instruments that you put at the end of your video. Do you have a link?! Pleasepleasepleasewithacherryontopandthankyou
Reminds me in a small way of the first time I used my new 13". It was cloudy with absolutely nothing to see. My friend talked me into setting it up and pointing it straight up. There were hundreds of stars and we were amazed. Of course when the sky was clear there were thousands in wide field views but I'll never forget that first view with the 13 on a cloudy night, not expecting to see anything.
Those deep pictures by themselves made the whole Hubble program worth the money. I wish I could watch Hubble de-orbit when it's job is done.
Imagine all the types of life out there !! Amazing to think that this photograph was taken like looking through a straw and they discovered so much. Really blows my mind!!
Once you peer into the incomprehensible size of the Universe, you will never be the same thereafter. You will be changed forever.
so, if the universes is expanding, what's it expanding into?
Just a question, how do the know that where they were looking at was one of the earliest galaxies ever? I mean you can point the hubble at any direction, they way i get it is that they are pointing Hubble to where the expansion of the universe started. How do they know that it all started from that direction?
+Str8 Royalty /The Universe is expanding equally in ALL directions. The further we look, the faster things are moving away from us, and it's doing it in every direction that you look.
Imagine the earth on a small rubber sheet. Then imagine that people holding the sheet at its edge begin pulling. It keeps stretching out. The stuff that was on the edge of the sheet when you started is now really far away and moving really fast. But if you have a powerful enough telescope, you see FROM the earth TO the edge of the rubber sheet. So the farther you can see, you can look back onto the original galaxies, the oldest ones. So in this way, the farther you look in any direction, the farther BACK IN TIME you're looking! Mind blowing!
When you first started and the sheet was small, the galaxies that were on the edge were the originals. As the Universe expanded, newer galaxies formed. The ones closest to us are mostly younger.
spackle9999 Damn that's mindblowing haha thanks for the answer.
+Knowledge IsPower The expansion of the universe took place (and still does) everywhere. The universe didn't expand from one particular point, it took place everywhere but that everywhere was just a lot smaller.
BR R Thanks for the answer !
Wonderfull. Thank you very much, the clip is awesome. Any ideas who's the soprano before the end of the clip, the woman who singing?
Think about how many life forms developed and then died off as the light of those galaxies traveled to Hubble.
So beautiful! It's unbelievable how we came about, on this blue marble!
I've watched this video now probably a dozen times. It gets me every time. Crazy awesome!
This video hits me every single time. And I've lost the count of how many times I've watched already.
Question:@2:04 we see the light emmited by that other galaxy getting more and more redshifted, but should it? I mean, the faster it goes away from us the more red it becomes, but the light beam showed in there was beamed to us when the Universe was young and that galaxy was relatively close to us, aka, moving not that fast yet. So that beam of light should maintain it's colour, because even if that galaxy all of a sudden moved at almost the speed of light, if that beam had already departed it, it's completely separated from it. So I think only the next beam should be slightly more to the red (because meanwhile the galaxy moved away a bit), and the next a little bit more, and the next and the next.
Am I right here? Only speed affects the red-shift, or does distance (as implied in this video) affect it too? Because if it doesn't, the correct animation should be beams of light getting more reddish, not as they travel to us (being originally more blue), but as the galaxy moves away (already red when they get beamed from the galaxy, if the latest is moving away fast enough)
I hope I made sense here.
I am in awe of this. I love seeing pics from Hubble. Makes our earth seem special yet fragile.
No words... just incredible humility.
The music works really really well. The subject matter is fascinating, but without the music, you wouldn't see any comments about people tearing up.
It really amazes me how much stuff is out there. Words cant even explain it!
Beautiful video, thanks for uploading. We, [ the milky way galaxy ] are most likely in a deep field image taken from at least one of the galaxies in our deep field image. That's wild but probably true.
Whoa. I wish I had a friend on this team. I would love to hear his lectures and explanations of EVERYTHING.
best video you ever made Tony. thank you
This is The Most Amazing Thing that I have ever seen.
This light is all red shifted. Is it possible to by some form of data processing to blue shift the data back to its estimated original frequency content?
wut
it should be. you can only calculate the redshift from the Hubble law if the actual wavelength emitted by the galaxy (rest wavelength) is known. so there must be a way to figure out the rest wavelength
The Sun has a black body radiance of 5778K you could correct to that. For very distant bodies I guess I would correct to the value of a nearby (relativly) red giant star such as Betelgeuse.
Autocorrelate 500 miliseconds of the lightpulse on the pixel and subtract out auto correlation and convolve a 50 milisecond sample of clear 6000K radiance. Sum the samples, normalize and all that stuff and see what it looks like. In sound this process is called deconvolution. Should work with light too.
