    The universe began in a Big Bang nearly fourteen billion years ago, and has been expanding ever since. But how does the universe expand and what is it expanding into? Sajan Saini explains the existing theories around the Big Bang and what, if anything, lies beyond our universe.
    Lesson by Sajan Saini, directed by Wooden Plane Productions.

      @RickKasten Před 2 lety +52

      That was a poorly worded sentence, as the original question was "What is the universe expanding into?" They should have said something like "We don't know what it is expanding INto, but it is expanding, so at the very least, it is expanding UNto itself." "Expanding unto itself" is a literary way of saying "it is expanding", and that may be the only thing that is actually happening, so it may be the most factually accurate way to describe it.

And I can't imagine how space is expanding because how can "nothing" expand? What is "nothing" to begin with? Is there a state of nothingness that is more severe than "nothing"?

      Or think of it like this, light is energy and if you flash a laser into space, it will keep going forever and once it reaches the edge of the universe, it cant just stop. With each step it goes, I imagine it expands the universe in that direction. But we all know lasers cant reach the universe because the big bang had light and that light is the very edge of the universe. I imagine that 14 billion light years out of the origin of the big bang is the edge of space.

      It's because you think of the universe as a finite object like the loaf of bread in the video (why it's a very bad analogy). The Universe doesn't need anything to expand into. Distances between objects simply grow. You don't need to imagine anything "beyond" the border of the Universe because it probably doesn't exist.

      Scientist consider the universe to be the observable universe. Most non-scienitific people consider the universe to be "everything" to include our observable universe and unobservable. Our observable universe is expanding. This definition of universe causes some confusing.
      We have no clue what's happening beyond the observable universe because the light will never reach us.
      Something would need to travel faster than the expansion of our observable universe's expansion for us to get a clue. But, we havent found anything that travels faster than light, so we are stuck. That's why the quantum field is much more promising at discovery the secrets to everything observable and non.

      I think the operative word is “wild “. A wild guess is a guess that I would make. An educated guess is called a hypothesis. A hypothesis that can be backed by research and data is a theory. A theory that forms a consensus of other experts, educated in the same field, is a plausible theory. I guess.

      Good grief, who is paying for all of this? You know what expands faster than the universe? Eternal student debt. For the most part college is a scam, especially for someone like you. All you are doing is wasting time and money, stop screwing around and get a job, start a business, do something useful while you are young and can afford to explore endless opportunities.
      College puts you in a box, it does not serve the vast majority. The biggest lie they love to perpetuate is that the only road to success and learning is through them and their grossly over priced "education". This is such a lie, no more than ever when the sum of human knowledge is at our finger tips. There are entry level positions for every conceivable type of work, especially when you are young and can afford to work for a low/no pay internship. Do that, move around until you find something that calls to you. What have you got to lose? More student debt? Or if you are lucky, less draining of your parent's retirement funds?

    I‘ve always thought of it as the universe just expands into a higher dimension.
    Just think about how a 2D-Plane takes up no „space“ (volume) in a 3D-Room. So you could put an infinite amount of 2D-Planes into an infinitely small 3D-Room.
    This is true for higher (spatial) dimensions as well. Thus our 3D-Universe could expand into a 4D-Room/Space which itself is inside a 5D-Room in a 6D-Room and so on and so on...
    Thus our universe is „located“ in an infinitely high dimension which is infinitely small.
    But nobody knows the real answer so just my two cents on this question.

  • @leoncampa
    @leoncampa Před 3 lety +33

    Imagine an endless soup of energy stretching in 3 dimensions (4 if you include time).
    Now that endlessness stretches... every point at once.
    When stretched, it cooled down, and allowed for matter to form... again, in all points simultaneously.
    The time it took for light of that stretch to reach us from other points relative to us is the reason why what is close to us appears cold and dark, whereas the further away we look into the distance (and therefore time), the more of the universe's history we see, beginning from the actual expansion. Those distant points today are at the same stage of expansion as our point in the universe... cold and dark... but appear as red hot due to the time it took for light to reach us.
    Some of the most famous discoveries involve tight clusters of galaxies, that could only exist right after they were formed, before they had the time to distance themselves.
    These can be observed at the very boundaries of our visible universe, which are also expanding at the speed of light...(due to the time it takes for those areas to reach us).
    Hence why the saying: "the further away you look, the further back in time you see".
    The very boundary of our universe shows only light... similar to looking at the inside of a bright plasma... things were too densely packed for matter to exist, and only elemental particles were there.
    It is impossible to answer what was there before the universe, as that would involve seeing beyond the actual expansion... something which is impossible to do. But I like to think of the universe as existing in a form suspended state, similar to Schrodinger's cat theory. One moment it's there, one moment it's not. Particles hopping in and out of existence in our observations seem to prove such a theory. What may be now a state of existence will eventually meet its demise through a big chill or big rip (depending on Plank's constant, something still being measured today)... which will in turn make the universe cease to exist... until a state of quantum states let it exist again.
    The whole "in between" transition is what we are living today. It's a very short blip of time on the cosmic scale, but appears like an eternity for us humans.

    In order for outer space to expand within itself, it has to be expanding *_into a reality that allows its expansion without resistance._*

It never has a starting point . It alway WAS. And will BE. But it folds and unfolds into itself infinitely. Who said there is nothing bigger than Universe or quarks are really the smallest particles? There are infinitely big and infinitely small existing “worlds” which make up each other. Small particles are a part of bigger particles and big particles are a part of small particles at the same time . Because we are restricted to 3 dimensions and have limited sensors we cannot imagine how it is possible. We are part of this entire system and this system is a part of us

      "making sense to itself" is a human projection you're making onto something that doesn't operate on the level of the human mind. what is "making sense?" i get your main problem with unresolved fundamental questions, but i reckon the universe isn't obliged to do squat, or at least, we cannot assume so.

    Love everything about this video and all the other ones like this thanks TED ED but from what I learned through your other videos and just the quote at the beginning of this vid is that there can be no physical understanding of what universe those 'brains' are in and what lies beyond that and so on. We have to find the answer spiritually. We must stop at some point and just go within. It's funny though how life is so paradoxical in that manner. The stuff we can see and touch shows us how not why. The stuff we feel makes gives us our own why in our own way. In the end just looking for the meaning and the reasons behind it. I'll stop there before this comment expands into itself lol.

    One speculated theory of the ending of our universe is that everything that makes up our universe will one day merge into each other until our universe is no larger than a singularity, possibly triggering another big bang and a another universe. If this theory does occur far into the future, what are some theories that may help us try to predict or understand the possible natural laws of the following universe? What are some theories of what the following universe, if there will be one, might be like?

      Not quite. They know that matter is constantly appearing and annihilating itself in the universe, which means that the universe is not the actual source of this matter. This means by definition that the universe is within something else. Something that creates matter by way of some kind of interaction. So knowing this information, we know for sure there is more than 1 universe which means all of these universes are part of some incomprehensible thing. That's about as far as our understanding goes and is probably as far as our understanding ever will go lmao. The thing outside of this universe is probably more than 3 dimensional, which means our brains cannot actually picture it(current theories is that it would be six dimensional which is hilariously impossible to imagine).

    The Buddhist principle of 'Sunyata' tells us that there is no inside without an outside, that is to say; there cannot be a coin with only one side, there has to be the other side for it to exist. So in the same way everything is understood through contrast, you do not know what darkness is until you know of something that is less dark in order to make a contrast with it.
    And so, everything [the universe in this example] cannot expand into something, because in order for there to be something there would have to be something for everything to expand into, which would then undermine the concept 'an expanding everything'.
    And in that regard, the final theories posed near the end of the video fall into the same trap as to whats outside the universe, because there cannot be something outside of hyperspace, so how would it have any kind of existence, the same way that you cannot have a coin with only one side, or a pencil with one end.
    Unless of course I have misunderstood the theories at the end about hyperspace and the bubble universes).

    But if the universe is expanding into itself, does this mean that it its overall size remains constant? And if so, wouldn’t any objects within the universe have to decrease their own respective sizes in order for the universe to appear that it is growing in size?
    It is a huge leap of faith, however, wouldn’t it be more prudent to hypothesis that the universe is expanding into the multiverse or into a set of higher dimensions? I mean, “outside of the universe” or, the universe’s event horizon could just be dimensions with different physical laws or devoid of fundamental laws of physics all together.
    Could it be similar to the theory of vacuum decay? If the Higgs field were to fall out of its meta-stable state and begin expanding, it too would be a “new” universe (and dimensions) expanding into an existing universe (and dimensions) with different fundamental laws. Could this not be what is occurring with our universe right now? And yes, I know that we need evidence to support this, but could it not be a possibility?
