    Our sky won't look exactly like this in 350 billion years, because we won't have a sky. The sun will have swallowed Earth 342.5 Billion years prior in a spectacular all-you-can-eat planetary buffet.

      Question, if lets say another planet is moving away from us faster than the speed of light, and the speed of light and time are similar, would they seem to be going backwards in time to us if we could observe them somehow?

      Why swallow?? Space is expanding. But the objects embedded in space, like planets, stars, and galaxies stay exactly the same size. Sun is also a star then why would it swallow all planets??

      Does this mean that the cosmic microwave background could just be the remnant of light from galaxies beyond our observable universe and this light has been redshifted so much that we can only observe it in the microwave / radio spectrum instead ?

      The "We are made of Starstuff." was one of those amazing statements made by the late, truly great, *Dr Carl Sagan* back in the wonderful *_1980s_*_ Documentary_ *Cosmos.*
      I highly recommend watching both the *1980s* original (preferrably remastered) & the *2014* remake/sequel with *Neil deGrasse Tyson.* Both have amazing science facts, history & philosophy, and are simply wonderful to watch - especially with curious kids (like I was when the original came out, all those decades ago).

    First time visiting your channel - and I appreciate the effort spent in giving props to some relatively unknown names in the history of cosmology. I have a bit of an interest in history itself and often times, those who've contributed even the smallest achievements in history are overlooked by those who've expanded on their discoveries to finalize achievements we attribute to those who've crossed their t's and dotted their i's with the work of those that have come before them.

    To me, one of the most mind-bending things about light is that, as it travels through space, time does not exist for it. If it was somehow "aware" a photon of light would think it left the source which created it only an instant ago. Even if it has been traveling for billions of years. The instant it hit something and stopped, it would think it just left the source a moment ago. It would be very confused since it saw nothing in it's way just before it started on it's journey. From it's perspective something jumped out in front of it just as it left. I believe that is also the reason it can keep going and going. If no time passes for it, no energy is given up. Also, no matter how long it travels it will never get lonely.

    It finally clicked for me the the expansion of the universe, and grasping that space itself can expand faster than c, also explains the incredible expansion of the universe during “inflation”.

      @randar1969 Před 2 lety

      yeah if you take the current speed 73.3 km/sec per Mpc (Mpc=3.3 million lightyears) you can roughly calculate when the space between two object is so fast the lightspeed is slower. Like she said nothing can move trough space faster then light but space can expand with 73.3km/sec each 3.3 million lightyears. The only reason Andromeda is heading towards us is because gravity brings them closer together at an speed that is greater then the expansion speed. But it looks like the expansion is going faster over time.

If you throw a ball into the air inside the car, it'll just go up & down like you're stationary. Because you are. In that frame of reference. & in the frame of reference of a far galaxy, we are travelling FTL.

      The edge of the observable universe is very smooth actually. We've measured the lumps of the earliest things we can see, and they're only around 0.001% of the average value.
      On big scales, the universe is not very lumpy at all, there are about the same amount of matter per volume everywhere. And the further you go back in time, the less lumpy it is.

    • @GlenBradley
      @GlenBradley Před 2 lety

      We have no idea what the actual "edge of the universe" looks like nor do we even have any real data from which to speculate on. The edge of the OBSERVABLE universe is incredibly smooth, because it's all but the inside of the Big Bang, ie the cosmic microwave background radiation from the hot plasma soup that came immediately after the Big Bang.
      Once your observations get out to around 14 billion light years away, you are looking 14 billion years into the past, and therefore the Big Bang. We cannot see anything past 14 billion light years away because past that there is no universe to look at, nevertheless the ACTUAL universe may be 60 billion light years ... or 600 billion light years across. We are limited in our observations by the speed of light.

      If you read up on the Wolfram Physics Project, the going hypothesis is that space is possibly the only 'thing' in reality, and everything else (even time) is just built out of this universal 'stuff'. And it's also a type of universal computer; and it's discrete, not continuous.

    A very strange mathematical fact: If the universe expanded at a constant rate, then it would actually be possible for light currently emitted by a distant star to reach us, though it would take a long time. (basically, the fraction of the total distance the light travels per second decreases over time, but slowly enough that the sum still diverges -- see the Wiki page on the "ant on the rubber rope" puzzle.) But this is not true if the expansion is accelerating!

    • @YoutubeHandlesSuckBalls
      @YoutubeHandlesSuckBalls Před 2 lety +1

      No. There would still be a point beyond which we were unable to see objects. Because each light year stretches the same amount, something 2 light years is moving away twice as fast because you add up each segment, which means objects further away recede faster. However slow the expansion, even if constant, there would be a point moving away faster than the speed of light and so no light from objects further than that would ever be able to reach us.
      The acceleration of the expansion merely exacerbates this and will lead to the 'event horizon' becoming closer over time.

    • @super_hero2
      @super_hero2 Před 2 lety +1

      ​@@CZcamsHandlesSuckBalls
      I think you misunderstand what John said, when he says "the universe expanded at a constant rate" he meant that every year, the distance between 2 objects in space increase by the same amount. So year 1 add 1 light year, year 2 add 1 more light year, year 3 add another 1 light year and so on. Which is different from what you meant by "each light year stretches the same amount..." which is not constant amount every year because the added space also adds more space. In John scenario, light will eventually reach us, in your scenario it might not reach us.

  • @bdgrandin
    @bdgrandin Před 2 lety +3

    This is a all very interesting. Weird question. Has the expansion effect where a far enough galaxy's light will no longer reach us been observed? Have we observed a galaxy’ disappearing from our view due to the expansion between us and it becoming faster than light can travel from it to us? Are there recorded examples of this occurring. I would think if the theory is true we should be able to see it. That discovery and proof would be great to share and show people.

    • @garykoponen7244
      @garykoponen7244 Před 2 lety

      They mentioned that galaxies on the edge of the observable universe would fade out. It seems to me that when a point in spacetime coincided with expansion that they would blink out.

    • @Demonrifts
      @Demonrifts Před 2 lety +2

      We've only really been able to look at the edge of the observable universe for a few decades now. On a cosmological timescale, that is less than an eyeblink. Factor in that there are billions of galaxies, the likelihood that we would notice one of them suddenly fade out is abysmally low. I wouldn't expect that that will ever be something we witness.

      if we lack alot of data, scientists can use fermi problems
      they are a kind of math where u get estimates for all ur variables
      and the answer is weirdly accurate
      because errors in 1 assumption, get cancelled out
      by errors in other assumptions
      leading to generally accurate answers
      they arnt heavily relied on
      but they can give good indications
      and sometimes hints of what u really need to look at
      or in my case, I use fermi problems to estimate the cost of my shopping 🤣

The thing that keeps blowing my mind is that the distant light we can see is from when the universe was smaller, but it's bigger now, so we are seeing a 3-D image of a smaller universe that is now bigger than it looks. Which I can't quite wrap my head around without employing the weird curves of a 4-D sphere that "turns" backward on a time axis as you increase distance from a center point.

    I’m responding rather late considering when you made this video. With your travels to the Mount Wilson Observatory in mind, I would like to bring up the Palomar Mountain Observatory in San Diego County which is run by Caltech. (FYI, I am aware of the rivalry between MIT and Caltech:-). There is a book called “The Perfect Machine” which chronicles the building of the Palomar Observatory. However, it does cover a tremendous amount of the history about Mt. Wilson which is where the beginning of the idea of building something larger than Mount Wilson occurred. Hubble is mentioned throughout the entire book. I do recall reading about the woman photographic interpreter who’s incredible insight came across the variable stars which allowed Hubble to turn the world of cosmology upside down.
    I’m sorry if someone else has already commented on this. I just didn’t have the time to go through 2.1 thousand comments.
