This excuse would work if we live on a neutron star and teacher is living on higher floors than your home.
Actually in such conditions instead of time zones' discrete set based on longitude, like on Earth, it will be time rates continuum based on height levels, because of different distance to the center of the "black city-size star with about the mass of the Sun"

The more we learn, the crazier the universe becomes.
we dont even know how deep our oceans is, let alone the Universe where everything doesn't make sense
@@ViperDivinity Except that it does
@@ViperDivinity The earth's deep sea is denser than you think, it gets dark every time you go deeper in water. It’s also like being in space but in water, you can’t even see, It’s like being inside a huge fog. So it’s hard for scientists to explore and find new sea creatures.
Edit: My comment was confusing. So basically Earth’s deep sea is much more like space but it has an end and it is much more dense. once you enter a zone where no light would no longer could reach; you could experience very much pressure. And the thickness of fog made it so hard to see; it could be hard for scientists to search for creatures.
@@kxufa4507 our ocean is basically space
It's not so much that the universe is 'crazy'; the universe is what it is - and is absolute truth. It's more that it's beyond our (humans') realm of understanding...kinda like an insect trying to understand calculus. We're making progress tho.
Its incredible how much info scientists can extract from these tiny little smears of light
Its incredible they can discern different stuff. Before the several images of the galaxy were circled I was looking all over the screen for them. If you handed me that picture before I watched this video, I would've told you they were different galaxies.
Meanwhile, there are climate change deniers, flat earthers and vaccine haters. I wonder which groups are the knowledgable ones...

Why Dereck did not do a quick pun there? lol
This blows my mind. I've always understood the concept of how objects in the sky are so far away that it takes a long time for the light to reach Earth, as if we're looking into the past. But I never considered the fact that objects between us and what we're observing could distort our observation. Science never ceases to amaze me.
The crazy thing is that it reaches us at all, as if those objects are transparent. It's literally seeing around objects, crazy. Space is so strange. In "micro" scale it appears to be affected by mass. How can something stretch so violently while mass holds it's ground.
That last sentence kinda feels wrong here. Instead of "Science never ceases to amaze me.", I feel it more appropriate to say "Reality never ceases to amaze me".
@@dangeros31 Science doesn't equal reality. What you are referring to as "science" actually refers to the scientific method which then provide results. But these results can change if the components in it are not constant. A.k.a variables. Variable expressions can change results thus by your definition change reality.
@@shozinryu4
I'm not saying Science is reality. I'm saying that reality is what already exists regardless of our perception; it is constant. Science is used to figure out reality, but even then Science can and is wrong, because, like you said it is always changing. Take for example the big bang. People take it as fact, but it is still just a theory that can not be completely proven. The smallest amount of evidence of scientists and people's ideal perspective of the world and universe can lead people in the wrong direction, thus making up their own false and ideal science that helps them cope with their lack of evidence. Science is just a tool to measure and observe, while reality is fact and constant; weather it can be correctly observed is another thing.
@@dangeros31 whether*
not weather.
The fact that there are multiple images of the same galaxies, delaying the light that arrives to us at different intervals is blowing my mind. I never knew something like this exists. It's cool to keep learning new things about space that continue to astound me. I'll never get tired of it.

Yet I fail to understand which law made the "shorter" path "longer" for light to travel. Also how do X-rays show us the early universe? Also a gravitational lens?
So basically, every moment of every day is echoed through the eternity of space time, for all eternity? That’s pretty friggin amazing. The observable light that reflects from us out into the cosmos never goes away. Yeah I don’t feel insignificant or anything lol
Extraterrestrials in other galaxies be like, "Meh, I've seen this CZcams video back in 1995.
How can you feel insignificant?! You point it out so well yourself -- eternal echoe. My dude, you're existence is permanent and forever. That thought makes me feel way more significant despite the size of this big place.
No one is insignificant compared to the universe, think of it like this, we are part of the universe, the universe is part of us and we are part of the universe.
You are insignificant if nothing will ever know of or acknowledge your existence. If your existence echoes throughout the universe, how could you possibly be insignificant?
@@jamiehosmer1481 well.. yes and no… although we are echoed throughout all of spacetime, isn’t there an end to the universe?
Or at least the 4 proposed ends that astrophysicists have come up with? so is it a finite echo then, rather than an infinite one?
That closing remark beginning @11:36 is amazing. I had to go back a few times to listen to that. “What is contained in those distortions is information about the workings of our entire universe.” It’s really amazing how we can see so far away and glean bits of information.
That is legitimately mind blowing. To see the exact same event not just on multiple places, but also at different times. And not only twice but six times? Imagine that in an ordinary world setting. Literally deja vu.
You can, with a camera. You can see the same event from different perspectives. It's pretty much the same. The light from the event from different angles.
Wow, deja vu, you've found a great connection!
Or maybe something similar happens with multiple universes or maybe with alternate universes and we think we experienced Deja Vu. The possibilities are infinite and we are yet to discover so much more. Wow.
@@vasile.effect It is probably not a supernova. You could find this object yourself in publically available online databases of astronomical objects and check its type. Find the first galaxy in question or lensed supernova first and then compare images. It might be tricky because these tools can be complex and built for professional astronomers, but you can do it with a little bit of trial and error ;)

Thank you for the wonderful video again, Derek! I came back to it a second time, and noticed at the end you say you used to think of universe like it would be glass, and how strange it was. How do you view the universe now afterwards? I'd still think of it roughly a glass-like substance in the sense, that light travels slower through denser materials, or takes more time to traverse a thicker part of the glass. Just that in the case of the universe, that thickness is tremendous really. Curious thought I think. Here's to hoping there are other similar events coming up!

If a supernova is as bright as the moon, maybe that’s why some old paintings had 3 suns/moons in the sky. One of them was a supernova that was there for their whole lifetime
I think if 3 moons would have been in the sky for a whole generation as you suggest then that happening would have been historically marked somewhere. In other words, we would have know about it
I don’t think it could maintain that level of brightness for more than a few months at most.
10,000-20,000 years ago.
The earliest possible recorded supernova, known as HB9( also known as two sun's), could have been viewed and recorded by unknown Indian observers in 4500±1000 BC.
In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a bright star in the sky, and observed that it took about eight months to fade from the sky. It was observed to sparkle like a star and did not move across the heavens like a comet.
An AGN could also have “time stamps” in it’s spectra that can be used to differentiate the light paths in a multi-lensed system. There’s an AGN in the northern hemisphere (I forget its name) with two distinct images that differ in age by a little over a year. Neat stuff.

Well that's literally how science works. You make a prediction, then you make an experiment to see if the values you get from the prediction match the experiment values. If they do, your theory is probably correct. Every once in a while, your theory doesn't predict the outcome of a specific experiment, and the science cycle continues...

They are actually very, very close together in the sky. The light is deflected by a tiny angle, and you would not be able to distinguish it from single source by eye even if it was bright enough to be visible. Hubble, however, has an absolutely incredible zoom, allowing it to take a region of space that would look to you like a single point in the sky and expand it out to show all the galaxies and clusters of galaxies that are there.
Fascinating stuff!!

That's absurd, Earth is only 5000 years old !
The Bible tells us it is around 6,000 years of course. Around 2,000 years from Adam and Eve until Noah and the flood, then about 2,000 years from that until Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and about 2,000 years from that until now. And if you think that is just a story, then why do you think the whole world uses the time frame of B.C and A.D? The Bible lists the genealogy from Adam and Eve all the way to Jesus Christ, so you can technically add all of that time up plus the year it is now and it will be around 6,000 years. Oh and also the Bible states that the earth is round.
I love watching these videos it is so fascinating thanks for all these free videos I appreciate it
6:32 my sleep paralysis demon smiling at me in my dreams
Lol
Agreed...
Today i learned betelgeuse was pronounced “beetlejuice” 😂
Do NOT say it three times!

Astronomers couldn't even get its distance correct within 25%. I highly doubt many of the other measurements they publish.
Scientists are on top of their meme game
“ objects may be closer than they appear”
One of the most interesting videos I've ever seen on this platform. Super cool stuff
This guy can convince me to take the blame of crimes i didn't even commit.
Fr 😂😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i smell BL
You commited it, the information is just delayed by gravitational lenses.
This killed me, it's so true
I feel as though I actually understood this. Please don't ask me to explain it.
explain it.
But if you can't explain it then you don't really understand it? According to Einstein anyways. (Don't worry though, I don't really understand either!)
Please explain it
if you can explain it then you really understood it
The gravity slows down the light. The light went in all directions, there were 4 lenses that redirected light back to us. We knew there were 4 lenses because the galaxy appeared in 4 different places. We saw the supernova in one of those places, ie from one of those lenses, then another, so we figured it's gonna appear the other place. somehow we figured out how long the delay was (maybe looking at how out-of-phase the rotation of the galaxy was in each image) and we added that to the supernova we saw to figure when we'll see it in the last image.
@veritasium how'd I do?
Its crazy how far we have come in the last 50 years or so... in our understanding of the universe and its mind boggling how far we will be in the next 50.
scientist are underrated they deserve more fame and a raise
Gravitational lensing blows my mind.
"Oh, those four galaxies you can see over there? Yeah, they're the same one..."
Madness.
It's crazier than the looks. It appears not only in different locations, but different times. It's really mind boggling
@@Zalamedas It's not just looking in the past, but you can choose which past are you looking at. 20 years, yet lightspeed. What had it got to go through...Fascinating.
Awesomeness.
The time-dilation measurement blew my mind
Looks like Arthur C Clarke got it right when he wrote:
"It's full of stars." in 2001: A Space Odyssey
That lensing effect must make a tricky job even trickier! 🤔👍
Beautifully explained
Always interesting, thank you.
I was told, "if you missed an event you cant capture it again."
That was Kodak's fear propaganda campaign used to sell more cameras.
Unless if you are trillions of light years away from where that event occurred.
@@irfanjames you mean travel ahead at the speed of light so you can watch it again?
jokes on him i can see a sunset 3 times if im in dubai
Well, you can't, not even once, as all you really capture is electromagnetic echoes of the event, but provided you are at the right spacetime you can see other echoes of the event :D
So cool.
Have to agree.
Shouldn't you be solving puzzles of something?
Heeyy Red I really miss your cubing videos
Lmao, of course you're here
OMG I remember you from when I was a child! I use to watch your unboxing videos everyday! You got me into cubing when I was around 9, but I've stopped. Now I got to find my collection of cubes lmao XD
This video seriously just blew my mind. I might actually understand how that happened lol I'm speechless that was so cool. What exactly makes the light from that galaxy come back downhill from the gravitational lens after it's been pushed away from its original path? Is it other gravitational lenses that focuses the light back down in our direction for hubble to see or is that just the normal behavior of light to just go up and over that lens?
Just unbelievable. Fascinating. Thx
This is one of those videos where I went really violently back and forth between understanding and not understanding this video 😂
Same
If even half my teachers could break things down like you do with said enthusiasm I might of wanted to learn a whole lot more when I was in school. You really do teach people alot.
is it actually worth then joining some top astrophysics clg
cuz I have to finalise my admission
I love space...but not the education sys
fantastic video ! i loved the effects
The most mind blowing video on space I have seen so far
1:40 "In the next
hundred
THOUSAND
years." :(
An eye blink ...
Also the music stopped lol
That caught me off guard
But that could still be sooner rather than later
Like he said, it's hard to predict. It could happen tomorrow.
