    From looking through a 29 inch reflector telescope in 1984 and seeing the veil nebula for the first time, I’ve always wondered whether or not the universe is infinite. Infinity of space holds my interest more than anything else.

    • @stevenbrooks3573
      @stevenbrooks3573 Před rokem +8

      Is the universe all the matter that exists, or the space that the matter exists in? If it is the former, and the galaxies and nebulae are moving away from each other, maybe it is the outward motion or expansion of matter that is infinite. Space then is absolutely nothing and the 'universe' only exists as long as matter itself exists.

    “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” "H.P.

    The way Prof. moves from objectivity of science to the deep philosophical questions attached with space discovery is just seamless, and just shows the balance one needs to strike between objectivity and subjectivity. Without losing the magic of the universe and without making the errors of religion, he amazingly brings out the spiritual journey that he himself has been through, so that we can be through it as well.

    I've been around this subject of infinity and the multiverses (local or temporal).
    The concept that everything that may happen happens an infinite amount of times through infinity isn't new for me.
    That been said...
    One and an half year ago, my 8 months old daughter choke with a piece of toy. When she was turning blue and passing out I did what was like impossible, I grabbed it with the tip of my fingers through her tiny mouth and throat and pulled it out. I hurt her so much that my wife and I had to take her to the hospital right after. My baby took a week to fully recover.
    But something was off. When everything was in the balance, I felt like chance did it. It was highly improbable. It just happened independent of anything.
    I had many nightmares after that of me living my life after this event gone wrong. I even had a nightmare about a funeral, and that frightened me the most.
    It's like that in many other probable universes the outcome was definitively bad.
    How lucky am I to exist in one of many universes where I can see my daughter grow up?
    So in this infinite fractal of chaos, I'm the luckiest man there is. :)
    Be grateful for what you have, an infinite many others of you may didn't get that chance.

I could see myself whooshing through the galaxies and stars, 500 times the speed of light, just shooting past everything like in hyperdrive. It was only short, while i closed my eyes, but it gave me such a immense appreciation for the scale of the universe, and how every human on earth, and all other life forms in the universe are linked, in some way. It was cool man. The universe is awesome.
