  • The size and age of the universe seem to not agree with one another. Astronomers have determined that the universe is nearly 14 billion years old and yet its diameter is 92 billion light years across. How can both of those numbers possibly be true? In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln tells you how.

    • @arcturns9616
      @arcturns9616 Před 4 lety +451

      ​@ChickensFTW Well, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in space is the law. But space itself can travel faster than the speed of light. And since the Universe as a net is expanding that means that space itself, not as an object in space, it is able to surpass the speed of light.
      Basically stuff can't travel faster than the speed of light through space, but space itself can surpass the speed of light. And therefore the Universes distances and lifespans don't, at first, match up.

      @juggliar A growing universe never made sense to me. If the universe grows the first questions as cliche as that sounds is: into what? Than the answer would be nothing. What is this nothing then? In what way does it seperate itself from empty space.
      Something that grows has a definite size. It is not infinite. Yet science has no idea what lies beyond the observable.
      "Because many predictions about the Big Bang have been proven with observational data, we tend to accept it as fact, even though it's still only a popular theory. ...

    I appreciate the deep dives on this channel... great vids, but I'm also a little surprised at the "absolute" way some of this is presented. We are still pretty limited in our knowledge, so much of this is a scientific guess (or theory).

    • @nycbearff
      @nycbearff Před rokem +1

      If something in the universe has been seen or measured - especially if it has been seen or measured by multiple teams using different methodologies, and so the probability of it being a fact is high - then it's not just a guess, it can be treated as a fact. Prof Lincoln tends to do videos about aspects of the universe that have been thoroughly tested out - and everything he talks about in this video has been thoroughly tested. So yes - you can talk about those things as facts.
      If you've got the training and the equipment, you can test them out yourself, you don't have to take his word for it. That's what's so good about science, good scientists are very clear about the data and methodologies they used and the probability of their claims being true. And any lab in any country can repeat the tests and check the claim for themselves - it's not a matter of opinion or belief.
      He's also explicit about things we don't know, and things we think are true but have not been tested exhaustively yet. But this video is about well verified facts.

    • @jimlarrabee5565
      @jimlarrabee5565 Před rokem

      @@nycbearff I hear you and for the most part I agree... that's why I like this channel, but to say everything in this video has been thoroughly tested out and proven as fact is not a great scientific statement. For example, at the beginning of the video the age of the universe is mentioned and Prof Lincoln states "if you take that number as a given" then references another video. A better statement is "we assume the age of the universe from what we currently know." And that's what I'm pushing on... our knowledge is far more limited than we like to think... our universe could be way older... we are simply relying on our current methods of measurement and we all know how much things change as technology changes. So to recap: my push was on how absolute some of the things were presented that are only "absolute based on our current set of measuring tools and knowledge base"... that moves things from fact back to theory, where science operates best. My guess is, if pushed, Pro Lincoln would agree, but that tends to make a more cluttered video.

Huge expansion at the begging, low expansion till 7/8 b years and accelerate expansion till now. The CMB radiation during its trip from 42 Mly to us today, has found all these expansion rates, that made it last 13,7 b years. During the first period, did the radiation got away from us due to the high expansion and in the other late periods make up lost ground?

      They are now saying the universe is actually 28 billion years old according to recent discoveries as opposed to 14 billion. This guy is literally wrong by his own ideology. You are on the point. I'm am a Christian but I'm not going to sit here and lecture. All I will say is no scientific idea can ever explain the "creator of the creation of the universe". No single Big Bang, simulation, continious Big Bang, split universe, or etc can be made without yet another creation which leads to the "actual" begining. The only explanation is at some point, there was a "creator" who was not created and doesn't follow the laws of science and human knowledge. That sounds like God, something who doesn't need a creator and tells us that there are things we cannot understand as humans on Earth. Another evidence is our supposidly infinite universe...that has one planet with abundence of life. That is statistically impossible as if the unvierse is infinite and there is one case of life, then it should be literally everywhere, even just for human survival (not even talking about bacteria in underwater volcanoes or what we can't understand) as it is confirmed possible. Yet through any visible signs, movement of space dust, archeologic evidence on asteroids or moons or planets, gas trails, communication through waves being irregular or anything else has never even appeared; even when conspiracy channels grasp for straws there is still nothing. So how can only 1 exist out of infinity, especially after supposidly 14 or 28 billion years? That sounds like a miracle to me...see where I'm going here lol (come on that was a little clever). Stay skeptical friend because we will never know anything for sure. I'm not some monk either, I'm 19 year old dude and the more I learn the more faith I get and more skeptical I get. Good luck friend.

    So when we are told an object is 45billion light years away but is less than 14billion years old, is that calculates using redshift? As in the object was less then 14billion light years away when the photon was emitted but with expansion that object is calculated to be say 40 billion light years away?

This is a FACT and can be found in the papers of the scientists responsible for each and every mission...FACT. But you will never have it announced because that FACT lends itself to 1) the bible is true.and 2) we are very special in the universal scheme of things which also proves the Bible

    Since gravity binds us in an expanding universe does that mean technically(or literally) we are moving towards the objects we are bound too? Kind of like having a book and a dot in the middle at the edge of front and back cover… opening the book is like expanding the universe but since the dots must stay the same distance apart(let’s say an inch as the book is an inch think cover to cover) they would travel down until they were both at the middle of the spine of the book. Technically traveling through space and even accelerating as the expansion does.

      @@AndrewMcLay274 Thank you for your expansion. I agree with your assertion that it is as much of a nonsense question to ask what is outside of the Universe as it is to asking the nonsense question, "What is South of the South Pole?" as the South Pole is the most southern point of the globe, by definition. There cannot be anything South of the South Pole as there cannot be anything outside of the singularity.
      As for the Physical Universe...The singularity always existed as a singularity and will always exist as a singularity, the singularity in which we are existing within, as energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but merely transformed.
      As for the terms "matter", "place" or even "time"? Well they could not exist before the expansion of the singularity. as mass, distance, and time manifest as the direct result of the energy of the singularity being slowed down from Light Speed. (Run the Einstein-Lorentz Special Relativity transformation equations "backwards". I can develop the math, here, if you want. It is simple with one's understanding of the concept of the Limit. But it does take me some time.)
      Of course we do live inside of the ever expanding singularity and it is an appropriate question to ask when the expansion event happened with respect to time. And that expansion event is what is understood as "the beginning" to many...although somewhat erroneously perhaps.

    Beginning of the universe is such a wonderful mystery!! I Have many questions in this regard. Considering that the present universe we know started with a big bang- which means there was a singularity in the beginning/does it mean there was no space at all? Or with a big bang suddenly the space got created, then what was the volume of that space and the light ( or the ancient light) that was available during that time had a possibility of travelling in a space or has it kind of helped in pushing the space? What if we have ample of light in a very very limited space? Does light always need a space? Another thing that I am also wondering about, is the speed of light has been constant since the very beginning, or it did kind of EVOLVE?
