    Look around you. Where are you? Where is this place you are occupying? Somewhere in a room, maybe in a city on a continent on a planet orbiting a star in a galaxy among billions. But… where is all of that? While this may feel like a daft question, it turns out that the concept of an absolute position is something humans made up.
    In a nutshell, the universe is a big bag of space that has things in it. If someone removed all these things, the stars and planets and black holes and dust, there would just be empty space left. In empty space, the concept of having a position loses all meaning. Empty space is uniform, the same everywhere.

    • @michaelbuckers
      @michaelbuckers Před rokem +26

      This implies the existence of an absolute frame of reference in the universe, which is not a thing. Since it requires a time-space warp, which is basically a worhmole with an entrance and an exit, in which both are basically just modified black holes, the exit point would simply orbit all the objects in vicinity. This means unless it's at orbital velocity, it will orbit THROUGH earth. Which, since it's a black hole like physical object, means disaster for earth. Actually, having a black hole like object that big anywhere near the solar system means disaster in any case.

    • @planets9102
      @planets9102 Před rokem +7

      Yeah no, the earth is an (almost) inertial reference frame. Any time travel method that is "stationary" in space an constructed on earth would not preturbed by anything but the rotation of the earth . (and very slightly by tidal forces). Standing still only means no acceleration, no net force (no, gravity isn't a force, see General Relativity, an orbit is a "straight line"/geodesic through space time).
      If the time machine were built on earth and kept the spacial reference frame of earth you'd probably only need to use it on a plane and take a parachute with you. You'd also need to do a 0g dive. This makes the reference frame locally inertial, jump into your wormhole and you'll pop out in more or less the same spot in the sky. (I'd still take an oxygen mask and jump out a few km above the ground to have some wiggle room)

Anyone can mow the lawn , very few can perform brain surgery. This means the value of brain surgery especially if you need it is much higher with a limited supply of capable people to do it than lawn mowers . You won't pay $100k to have lawn mowed but I bet you'd pay that for a life saving surgery. This mentality has been tried to the conclusion of the deaths of literally hundreds of millions of people. See Lenin, Stalin , Mao and Pol Pot to name a few, this BS has been tried IT DOESN'T WORK when are people going to get it through their head already?

      The only thing that would've made this video/animation better is if they took the concept of time travel in mind.
      For instance:
      If you are on a floaty swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and you set your wrist watch to go back in time by 1 Second. Would your body-double really be in the ocean, metres away, where you were floating 1 second ago. (Think Back to the Future). Or would you be kilometres away due to the rotation of the Earth. Or would you be thousands of kilometres due to Earths orbit around the Sun. Or would you be light-years away due to the orbit of our Solar System around the orbit of our Milky Way. Or even further away as our galaxy is moving away from other galaxies in our universe. Or perhaps our entire Universe itself is moving too.
      ...Perhaps the Universe is moving, like bubbles in a bathtub, and our Universe is rubbing against alternate universes at a higher dimension which one day might pop into each other, cease to exist, or create a new Universe. And God is nothing but a belligerent baby enjoying the bubbles, written in a story, in the mind of an intoxicated author, who is watching a Kurzgegast video on his iPhone, whilst sitting in a floaty in a Pacific Island, which is on Earth that is spinning, that orbits the sun... ... ... ...

    This ties into the existential crisis I had about feeling trapped behind my eyes and knowing I would never be able to see the world from another point of view, and no one would know what it's like to feel what I feel or hear what I'm thinking, and when my eyes close, that's it. No more world. I won't suddenly switch perspectives from another "universe." It felt very, very isolating. This tied into that, because where I am, no one else will ever be, and vice versa.

    I just graduated with a degree in physics, and my peers gave me a hard time over liking kurzgesagt. Their perspective was that kurzgesagt oversimplifies problems, and doesn't consider serious questions.
    My counter-point was that kurzgesagt does extremely well at the job it tries to do: to make science approachable and fun! I think many scientists get caught up with the details of highly complex scientific questions, and this makes the scientific fields seem unapproachable. In order to keep the scientific fields alive, we desperately need public outreach efforts like kurzgesagt to get people to realize the beauty and fun involved in asking or answering scientific questions!

    An interesting concept related to this is the issue of time travel. Even if time travel were to be possible, if you travelled back or forwards in time, you would also have to travel through space, as earth would be in an entirely different place, possibly millions of light years away considering the expansion of the universe. We often conceptualize time travel as if we could hop in a machine in our backyard, travel back in time to the era of dinosaurs, and see how our backyard looked back then. But you’d likely end up in an empty part of space with the Earth nowhere to be seen

      Whether or not time travel is possible isn't up for debate. We're always traveling through time and we don't know how to stop. As we continuously travel into the future, we're also continuously moving through space. It doesn't seem possible to move through space and not time or to move through time and not space. So I don't think we would have to worry about ending up in an empty part of space.

    • @Tao_Tology
      @Tao_Tology Před rokem +17

      It would depend on the mechanism or technology that allowed time-jumping.
      One view is that it would be like jumping off a moving car, it would carry on its way.
      So if you 'step off' (travel forward or backward) you'll end up far from where the car "now" is.
      It could also be that, while travelling through time, you keep/reduce your space-travel momentum.
      A nifty thought-experiment is also that, if you could time travel, you would be able to get readings on whether the universe in general was 'moving' or if it is an overall static mass.

      You could move only in time but not in space if you calculated in avance where your position was at the moment you entered the time machine. But I think that would make it so you can't jump to arbitrarely chosen points in time, only when the planet itself is in the same relative position (or, at least) you wouldn't end too many kilometeres in the air, or worse, in space.

      Dusari Baat: Dharm as per 'Manusmriti' = धृति (धैर्य ), क्षमा (अपना अपकार करने वाले का भी उपकार करना ), दम (हमेशा संयम से धर्म में लगे रहना ), अस्तेय (चोरी न करना ), शौच ( भीतर और बाहर की पवित्रता ), इन्द्रिय निग्रह (इन्द्रियों को हमेशा धर्माचरण में लगाना ), धी ( सत्कर्मों से बुद्धि को बढ़ाना ), विद्या (यथार्थ ज्ञान लेना ). सत्यम ( हमेशा सत्य का आचरण करना ) और अक्रोध ( क्रोध को छोड़कर हमेशा शांत रहना )। यही धर्म के दस लक्षण है। (you'll not find any GOD or Bhagwan in this)
      Third Baat: Dharma = Science.
      For further knowledge, Please do 'अध्ययन', 'चिंतन' व 'मनन'. आपको ज्ञान की प्राप्ति होगी .
      जागो हिन्दू जागो 🙏

We can try and get as much knowledge as we can, and sure if we found out we could understand the universe that would be nice, but the fact that the universe is such an indescribably large and old thing in the perspective of us, makes it cooler.

    The craziest thing is, that despite feeling and actually being so tiny, every human is in fact closer on the size scale to the largest object in the universe, than to the smallest one. There is a larger amount of quarks in each of our bodies than there is stars in our galaxy alone. So, hypothetically speaking, it would be easier and less energy-consuming to enlarge a human to the size fo the observable universe than to the size of a planck unit. Just smth to think about.

    I read in an old astronomy book (The Origin and Evolution of our own Particular Universe) that talked about how Aristotle believed that the earth was the center of the universe and the planets orbited around us. When observation didn't match this model, Ptolemy decided that the planets moved in a circle upon a circle around the earth. A wheel upon a wheel, as he called it. This still wasn't quite right, and adding more wheels upon wheels upon wheels didn't work. It took until Copernicus for people to think we moved around the sun and Kepler to discover that the planets moved in ellipses, not circles. It's kind of funny to realize that the wheels upon wheels model was kind of right in a roundabout way, since we spin around on the earth, which spins around with the moon, with the whole affair spinning around the sun, which spins around the galaxy.
