Cosmology is the one field in which researchers can-literally-witness the past. The cosmic background radiation, ancient light streaming toward us since the Big Bang, provides a pristine window onto the birth and evolution of the universe. Already, the radiation has been key to confirming an early explosive expansion of space, determining the geometric shape of the universe and identifying seeds that resulted in galaxies. Now, the cosmic background radiation is poised to reveal when the first stars formed, what happened in the fraction of a second after the Big Bang, and the answers to a host of other bold questions about the cosmos. Join Nobel Laureate John Mather and other leading scientists who are leading the way.
The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries.

It one thing to say when you are looking at the star and the universe as it was hundreds of millions years ago. It's an enterally different thing to say you are looking back in time. It's not the same and it's not word interchangeably so I wish he would stop saying that we are looking back in time because we aren't. We are simply gathering up light that took millions of light years to get to us and show up what the universe looked like back then. It's not like when we zoom in that we see the future. And we would never see the big bang no matter how far we looked back because it's already done. Assuming it's done like scientists say within seconds it was done and is now still expending. The numbers that dictate the arrow of time does allow time to run backwards.but if that happened we still wouldn't see the big bang because we came from other stars explosions so we wouldn't exist to see it. The only way we might kind of see the big band is on something simulated on a computer or whatever the next best invention is in the future. But still it would still just be a simulation and not see the real thing. He keeps saying that we can look back millions of light years but thats not true. We are looking at light that reached our telescopes after all that time. We didn't look forward in time. We are always making telescopes that gather more light making stars that wouldn't have been visible because the are much further able to see. But that doesn't mean we saw further into the past technically. We are seeing an old-time snapshot once again. So again, so can't the big bang because we would need to be from where we were and since we have been shuffled around the universe out atoms would be sprayed out in all different places. No mind seeing a heat wall. And that if the big bang is still occurring

@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475 2 жыл бұрын

But... You _ARE_ actually looking back in time. Every direction you look, the farther away it is, the farther back in time you are looking. This is because light has a speed limit ('c'=300,000 kps). If light had infinite speed, you would be correct. But since it has finite speed, it both takes time to travel, AND doesn't experience the passage of time itself (Special Relativity) since it is traveling at "c". Therefore, the light you see from a galaxy 5 Billion light years away isn't 5 Billion years old, it's from 5 Billion years ago- a.k.a. "the past". Yes, you really could see the big bang in principle (It's not possible with light, because light couldn't get through the charged soup, as they explained). The Universe has no center, no direction to the center, in space. (But it does in time.) Everything is expanding away from everything else, not from a central point in space. Every point is expanding from every other point. However, everything _IS_ moving away from a central point in time. If you ran time backwards, you would find all lines in time meeting at one central time point- the origin of time. The direction of that time point is everywhere you look, it's like a sphere around the Universe. The farther away you look, the farther back in time you look. Time is a direction, and you can follow those lines (in direction) to the past. Time is a dimension. For further reading, these lines are called "geodesics" and the point they all meet is called a "singularity". There are both "time" and "space" singularities. Yes, It's complicated. But it makes sense after a while. Some videos may help. Maybe "space-time" series from PBS would be a good starting point. They have lots of visuals.

I'm no scientist, though they say the waves are"micro", would it be possibly with computation to allow for an extended display of the waves as they were at the time of the big bang.

If you think of it in quantum terms the reason why it looks like the universe is expanding faster and faster is because we keep trying to look further and further or observing it I can stop doing that it'll stop running from us By the way how fast is the speed of looking at something is that governed by the speed of light I don't think so if you say you're looking at light that burned out billions of years ago, I mean the sun is a really long ways away right so how come it's not going really slow. It doesn't make any sense that we can see light that exists and see like that doesn't exist at the same time even without looking through a magnifying glass, we're not switching our eyes into infrared, So if we're seeing like it's already dead when does it really die how long does it last after death, these questions are there and nobody's asking them except my crazy ass Maybe that's what we need to use for a propulsion system "magnification"seriously though if I turn a flashlight on and I'm in my bedroom it's not going to bounce off the walls it stops where a wall is, so if I take that wall down that light is not going to continue to someone that was too far away to see it when I turned it on in my bed room, so with all the space debris that there is out there, comments, meteors, trash it's an ever-changing environment, your billions of years something is going to block those lights and unless they are not dead they're not going to continue, If I'm standing 10 blocks away with flashlight, you're not going to be able to see it unless you get a telescope, but that's only going to work as long as I'm there with the flashlight, once I'm gone it doesn't matter how far away you are you will never see that light it's gone it's out, now if it's bright enough that you can see it, the same rules apply, once the energy that creates that light is gone then the light itself dissipates decays and it's gone it doesn't continue to travel, the same goes for sound if you're too far away to hear it you never will

So what is another way to view that behavior? Can we see it as impulses arise in his (Lawrence or any person's) mind-body complex, and he verbalizes them, often impulsively, and that can be stupid or unintelligent. This can happen if he doesn't take into account (by having a feel for) what makes for 'coherence' in the flow of the conversation and can further the depth of the conversation and what does not further but more likely ends up interfering with the flow of the conservation. By this I mean impulses may or may not help with a deep seeing into what is under consideration and is being questioned in the conversation. The movement of mind or energy of consciousness in its raw state pops up as an impulse which gets it shape/color from a mainly yet to be conscious thought-form. At this point we need the 'presence of mind' to see and feel what is happening to us. "Thought-form" is a frozen bit or patterned bit of mind impulse that is a mixture in some ratio of memory and 'excitement of imagination. By being aware of our simple presence as whole body awareness, we can begin to learn the taste of how to deal with or regulate the impulses such that we can learn to harvest and entrain their energy to feed our presence and also allow us to begin to see deeper into the subject matter under discussion. We begin to penetrate into the depth rather than being stuck in the the energy being scattered (made more incoherent) and remaining more on the surface. We can learn to be more intelligent about how our minds work and how we can help our mind work more intelligently, see more deeply etc.

I have always known that evolution was real. Unlike creation, which sounded suspiciously like a santa claus story to me from the time I was 8 years old. I was brought up religiously, but I don't remember my parents ever discussing evolution with us at all. It just didn't come up. When I went to school and learned about fossils and star formation and geological time scales it made absolute perfect sense to me and I never questioned it at all. I knew it was true. I dpn't understand why some people don't believe the facts when there is so much evidence. I can only assume it is a form of cognitive dissonance. If the facts contradict their religious beliefs, they must reject the facts if they want to retain their faith.

@@timewalker6654 Sure. Read about 'physicists' changing the laws of physics to eliminate a constant speed of light through expansion of a space-time fabric (which is composed of nothing) to accommodate a big bang theory based on an unproven equation which science has recently wasted over $50 billion on fusion reactors in an attempt to harness energy based on that same equation. Read about how scientists have given up on the notion of hydrogen because of those failures and learn how hot fusion theories now rely on a very rare element called deuterium - an element which does not exist in the Sun - instead. Maybe even read about the physical attributes of hydrogen, which has a boiling point of about 1,000 Kelvin at 9 billion ATM - which is the calculated pressure in the middle of the Sun - and realize that hydrogen would all boil away such that it is not possible that the interior of the Sun in made of hydrogen. Then maybe you can wake up and not support the science FICTION which is popularly presented as astrophysics. Then you can laugh at the idea of hydrogen at 1,744 times the density of solid hydrogen not boiling at temperatures above 13,000,000 Kelvin at 9 billion ATM and realize that astrophysicists don't a damn clue as to how this universe really works.

At this point, Physics explains so much so well, that to refute it you can’t just pick at some things you don’t think make sense. You have to come up with an alternate theory that explains at least as much. I assume this is your life’s work and we can look forward to it’s publication in 30 years. Writing one paragraph in the comments section of a KZfaq video is not going to elicit the paradigm shift you are working towards. Probably best just to keep working at those equations in your magnum opus.
