Imagine how lucky we are to have in our body mechanisms that can translate electromagnetic waves with different frequencies and wave lengths into colors to see our ironically beautiful colorless universe, acoustic waves into vibrations in the eardrum that our brain translates into sounds something which doesn't even exist in the world but was defined by humans, a huge system that covers every millimeter in our body and responds to internal and external forces by sending electric signals to our brain, and of course amazingly complicated connections between neurons that create an enormous structure of information stored in an unbelievably small place. After all this, it feels wrong to call even the stupidest person in the world, stupid.

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 Жыл бұрын
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. Lovecraft"

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.

Dude when i was tripping balls on mushrooms a few months ago, i closed my eyes and saw the connections through cosmos, and how everyone was linked through cosmic energy. 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.

I love how this channel always leaves me with more question than answers, the shape of the universe could be something we never understand and it's nice to have some mystery left, I've always thought of it as a spherical, if the universe was born from the big bang and we use points of references we can visualize from things here on earth like nuclear explosions then my small mind would expect that the same governing laws of physics to in turn relate itself to the shape of the universe going outward in all directions and then I watch something like this and I'm back to square one having no actual clue about whats going on and being snapped back to reality of bills work and life, I thank you for your channel and the respite I get from the daily grind, even if I may never understand it all, the daydreams I engage in afterwards are a little piece of happy you bring me with each video, keep up the great work!

By that definition, what you have created with this video is one of the purest pieces of art I've yet to experience. Simultaneously hopeful, wonderous, nihilistic, and distinctly unsettling, all at the same time.

By just hearing your final message at the end of the video, it was so touching that it made me wonder if it's really possible a person like you were just a product of random chance and evolution. I'm a big fan of observable science and not really on historical science, but in your videos, i am starting to acknowledge some others things that i refused to believe in before. The only question I got left was how is it possible that a single molecule or matter can create life? (from the very beginning of the universe). Doesn’t it breaks the rule cause we all know that life can't come from a non-life at all? The discovery of this DNA thing is a bit confusing too cause according to what I've learned, there is no known observable process by which new genetic information can be added to an organism's genetic code, so how is it possible for a fish to become an amphibian (for example) without adding a new set of information on it's genetic code? as i understand regarding DNA, it is losing information overtime like for example my son has only half of my genetic code and half from his mom and so his own son will get his DNA from son and his wife and so from that it indicates that my grand son will only have like 25% of my genetic information, the same thing happens with my sons grand kids and so on...but there's no way that even one of my great great great great great grand kids will have in their DNA let say 5% from a fish DNA cause it's a new set of information that is different from humans unless someone from his bloodline had sex with a fish which is not possible. what I'm trying to say is even if after thousands of years or even let say millions of years, i can be confident that being a human being, my offsprings DNA code will always be of a human. (not unless the world will get too advance that scientists learned to breed humans with other animals, with millions of years it might be possible) but like i said, i only believed observable science and only those proven by the science that we have now, and also I'm talking about the past where science is supposed to be less advanced. Don't get me wrong but i don't consider aliens as well for that also has no solid evidence yet, i'm just basing everything with the science that we have now just like you. I hope you'll a video regarding this topic in the near future cause it will be really helpful maybe not only to me but for others who also loved your videos. And to everyone reading, if ever there's something here in my comment that is wrong or in any way offended you, i am sorry but it's not my intention, this is just based on what i have learned and my own opinion, I want to learn more so just feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..thanks and have a nice day to all..
