    I love Hank's reaction to the universe having no edge, and I feel his pain when everyone around him is all like "whatevs".

    This video was actually my very first introduction to the vlogbrothers. I remember thinking Who are these weird people and why are they on a stage performing? Then I watched every vlogbrothers video and found out that there is nothing special about them, but at the same time there is everything special about them. They are just two brothers making videos for each other and they happened to change my life a little bit.

      Exactly the same for me! I've actually read one of John's books (looking for Alaska), which I absolutely loved,without knowing who he is, then Charlie mentioned him a few times, still not knowing who that John is. Then through Charlie discovered Michael and this video. It's still one of my favourite videos on CZcams, I just love the beginning so much.

    I think the universe having no edge is more interesting than chocolate being delicious

    The observable universe does have an edge, the full universe doesn't.

    • @danheidel
      @danheidel Před 10 lety +14

      Maybe.
      The universe beyond the observable one is definitionally unknowable. We assume that it behaves according to the laws of physics and similarly to the observable universe.
      For all we know, the universe has an edge and it's made of crunchy candy coating.

    • @danheidel
      @danheidel Před 10 lety +1

      Daniel W
      Incorrect. Anything beyond the edge of the observable universe is definitionally unobservable. The CMBR gives us some constraints upon a wider range of the cosmos than direct observation but either way, you eventually reach a range where we can say absolutely nothing with certainty.
      We assume that the laws of physics are constant regardless of location. This is a reasonable assumption but ultimately just that - an assumption. Many mainstream theories posit that the laws of physics are quite different beyond our obsevational range.
      Ultimately, we know nothing of what lies beyond our observational horizon. Therefore there is no guaranteee that we will ever know the answer to whether the universe is infinite or bounded.

    • @danheidel
      @danheidel Před 10 lety +3

      Daniel W
      I don't disagree that the most likely explanation is that the same laws hold for the universe beyond what we can observe. The candy coating is a frivolous example but one that underlines the fact that there is a limit beyond which we cannot and can never (assuming the current expansion rate of the universe continues as it presently does) know anything about.
      Beyond a certain point, all spacetime is moving away from us at faster than c. It doesn't matter if you move. Unless you posit FTL travel, there is literally no way for you to ever observe any physical interaction with those parts of the universe. This is a radius only slightly larger than what we already demarcate as the observable universe.
      Many models of inflation predict that the laws of physics we know only hold for the area around us. It is entirely likely that basic physics constants are radically different beyond that observable threshold.
      We literally know nothing about anything beyond the visible radius. A candy coating has precisely as much observation and scientific basis as any other model. You can make assumptions about it similarity to the place we live in but that assumption has literally the exact same amount of evidence as the universe being a giant M&M.

    • @DehimVerveen
      @DehimVerveen Před 4 lety

      Yea and we don't know whether the actual universe has an edge or not? It could be the surface of an infinite hyperplane. It could be the surface of a finite hyperplane or the surface of a hypertoroid or whatever shape you can imagine. We just don't know.
      I think what he means is that the edge of the observable universe is different for every observer, but what's outside the observable universe, nobody knows.

    What happened to: “…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”???

    I literally come back to this video like twice a year and every single time it gives me the feels. 2012 is the year I started watched the Vlogbrothers and I'm still watching them to this day. I love the editing, I love the music, I love that this video made me discover you, Michael, as well, especially since I started watching your vlogs and I've learned more about you and your f*cking amazing skills and your general awesomeness. Gawd. Such good people

    I love the vlogbrothers so much because they are the only CZcamsrs I know who organize days where they can go out and meet their fans. Their screaming, intellegent, nerdy fans. I also love them because I've learned so much from them. I have Hank's music on my iPod, I have all of John's books, and it would make me so happy if they came to Michigan because I would get a chance to meet them.
