And the name of the particle may be ultimately derived from the German word, but Murray Gell-Mann, who first proposed the 'quark' theory, took inspiration for the name in a line from 'Finnegans Wake' by James Joyce: "Three quarks for Muster Mark". Particles like protons contain three quarks of three different "color" charges.

Could you possibly further expand your answer on the CMB question? Is it even possible to simply map CMB temperature map to the initial gas density map? What are the hot/cold spots exactly? Are they due to differences in gravitational redshifts (which would apply that colder spots are actually overdense regions) or due to higher initial energies (hot spots are overdense)? If both effects are at play is one of them dominant?

The Big Rip is my favorite end time hypothesis, but it seems to be the least likely to happen. Also, the Big Rip would just rip all matter apart. The energy would still be there, just more "diluted" in a larger space. And no, nobody can tell whether there was a beginning to everything.

@@maythesciencebewithyou But what would happen once the rate of expansion becomes so big that it starts pulling quarks from each other? We know that if two particles carrying a color charge get too far away from each other, their energy will increase so much that it'll create a quark-antiquark pair; that's why any particle that can be independently observed must be color-neutral. But this newly created particle-antiparticle pair will also get pulled away from each other, increasing their energy even further, and so on - so does that mean that the number of particles and their mass/energy would exponentially increase, solely from the universe's expansion? Could this eventually halt the runaway expansion, at least for a while (namely, for a couple billion years)? Could we call that point the "Big Bang"? And we believe that our universe had during its early stage undergone a stage of runaway expansion, or inflation. It's intriguing, but it's pretty much nothing but a speculation (and personally, I haven't actually studied particle physics or general relativity). To try to model what would happen at that stage of universe's evolution, we'd need a theory of quantum gravity.

@@MikeRosoftJH That's the Big Rip hypothesis. Most scientists think it's the least likely death scneario of the universe. The universe is growing but we are not. The growth of space is still compensated by the attractive forces that hold us together. The universe isn't expanding fast enough to make our atoms rip apart. The attractive forces are holding together. The expansion isn't even great enough to overcome the gravity within a galaxy and make galaxies break apart. But if the space were to be expanding quicker than the particles interacting with one another, they'd separate and your every atom would tear apart. And your thoughts might come into play. But the big rip has been ruled out by most physicist it seems. As far as I know, energy is constant according to Newton, but only in a closed system. Who can say if the universe is a closed system or whether it gets extra energy from somwhere else to grow. I'm not a physicist either. So take what I say with a grain of salt.

Could the grid size affect some universal constants like the Planck length or speed of causality in the early universe, i.e., before inflation?

Just to mess you up even more, you actually do have some different baryons with the same quark compositions -- for instance, Lambda and Sigma(0) are both uds. Hard to find out exactly what the difference is (and you can find similar doublets among the mesons), but I suspect it has to do with which one of the d and s quarks the u quark has its spin aligned with, since Sigma(0) decays rapidly to Lambda by photon emission. And that's before we even get into excited states that decay even more rapidly by emission of mesons.

I once read about a theory that the universe created itself because an energy field was below or above its usual value and that dark energy is a way of getting back into its original state. Do we have any ways to prove such a theory and what are you thoughts about that?

My understanding is that eventually only the local group will be observable due to the redshifting of all other bodies as they recede from us, and further that the CMB will be too redshifted to observe. It's also true that as one's frame of reference accelerates towards a source of radiation, which in the case of the CMB would be every direction, that the radiation blue shifts. Would a detector accelerated close to c be able to identify the CMB and thus discover information that would otherwise be invisible in this late era?

​@@mdavid1955 Black holes are often shown as funnels with the depth of the funnel narrowing in the time direction. That is, a black hole is a spatial sphere of vacuum that becomes a funnel or a vortex when time is added to the picture. If General Relativity is correct, the singularity is really a direction that takes in-falling energy into the far future to be radiated away from empty space as the black hole slowly evaporates. A black hole truly is a hole - in time. Well maybe! We do know mathematically that objects that fall inside a black hole must eventually travel at multiples of the speed of light relative to outside space (not relative to inside space though). And we know that traveling near the speed of light means outside time passes rapidly for the traveler. So a very fast trip into the distant future seems a plausible result of an internal singularity trip, at least for your former particles that become just radiation as you fantastically speed up. Keep in mind that rotating black holes don't have a point singularity, they are just a vortex with a ringularity.

I am glad he addressed the misconceptions about the Big Bang. This video should be mandatory viewing for every one interested in science, especially science teachers, and those who still use those explosion animations to depict the Big Bang. What he did not mention, and I wish he had, is that the term "Big Bang" was coined by Fred Hoyle to characterize a theory which he disliked. He says he used the term to help radio listeners visualize what the beginning of the expanding universe was like. According to Hoyle, it was not meant to be a pejorative. Somehow, it caught on, and people who heard it misunderstood, and though it meant the Universe started with a big explosion. Even programs like those presented by NOVA use animations depicting explosions, some even go so far as to add the explosion sounds. Like Dr. Don, I too thought the Big Bang was a big explosion for many years, until I learned otherwise. You can read about Fred Hoyle and the etymology of the name at this site: academic.oup.com/astrogeo/article/54/2/2.28/302975 As a side note. While in graduate school, I decided to explore the ideas of the steady state theory and wrote a paper about the theories and supporting research. There were several research papers published in refereed journals that presented evidence that purported to prove the red shift was not due to the expansion of the universe but could be explained by other phenomena.

Could colour confinement be a mechanism for expansional energy to matter conversion during the big rip scenario spontaneously creating matter everywhere at once akin to a "big bang"? As the quarks are pulled apart, the strong force(i think) gets stronger as they are pulled apart eventually to the point that the very energy put in spontaneously creates another quark pair.

Wow finally cleared my understanding of Big Bang. Quick question if universe is 125 mil time s bigger than visible then galaxies at 125 mil times must be at infinite speed of expansion? Is there chance that theory of speeding expansion is wrong ?

I have a main but simple Astrophysics question. What is our referring system for the measurement of the expansion of the Universe?

Is it possible that universe 1 and 0 in the same time like quantum computer or complex theory?

For the Shockwave scenario - If we are in a pocket universe, and the Inflaton field collapsed locally and spread outward (or not) then only a local area (a very large area, but not infinite) contains matter and energy (and a now reduced or zero Inflaton field) as opposed to a much higher Inflaton field outside our pocket universe. So why wouldn't there be a boundary between "full strength Inflaton" vs "Collapsed Inflaton"?

For me the most confusing aspect of Big Bang is that it happened everywhere at once, and there is no place of 'origin' for the Big Bang, no center of the universe. Unlike with an expanding sphere, where you can easily pinpoint the center.

Brian Greene talks about repulsive gravity when uniform energy resides in a specific location in space. The way he was describing it makes it seem like it might not of been the entire universe, but instead only localized to what now is the observable universe. I think that it's probably pretty hard to say anything about how it affected the unobservable parts of the universe with any certainty.

That's just a problem of our vintage point. Everybody is the center of his observable bubble of the universe. That's because in any direction you look, there is a set distance that can be observed. The problem is that we do not know whether the universe is infinite or finite. As he said, the entire universe has to be at least many times larger than our observable sphere. If the universe is really infinite, then it really isn't possible to determine a center. However, if the universe is finite, and not just finite, but actually a sphere and no other shape, then the universe would indeed have an actual center. But that center is unlikely to be earth. The big bang has no center of origin, in the sense that space is expanding at every point in space. At least you can tell yourself, that you are the center of your observable universe.

Rykehuss Imagine it as the surface of the balloon to make it less confusing. The surface doesn’t have a center point either, yet it expands from a near-zero size. (Just for clarification: in this example we are talking about ONLY the surface, and nothing is under or over the surface.)

@@maythesciencebewithyou Even in a finite universe, every point would be at the center. Let's not forget the universe is 4-dimensional spacetime. A center would need to be an event (x,y,z,t) and not a point (x,y,z). A point (x,y,z) in a finite 4-D universe would be like a latitude & longitude on the surface of a finite 3D globe. Relative to the surface of the globe, every point (x,y) can be considered at the ''center'' of the 2D surface. To find a center inside the 3D globe, you need to add ''z''. Having this said, an infinite universe in ''size'' would require it to be infinite in ''time too''. Just like an infinite sphere would require an infinite radius. In that case, there would be no event center (x,y,z,t) either. The center could therefore be conceptually interpreted as relative to the observer and not absolute. Like ''left & right'' are relative (no political pun intended).

The correct understanding of Big Bang then would require an "infinite mass singularity of infinite volume" vs a "finite mass singularity of fixed volume". In that case, if the state of expansion started at t=0, what do you think are the possible states before t=0? Also, if a singularity of infinite mass can explode to expand like that, does this mean black-holes can also explode? I love listening to these series! Thanks.

Singularity is a mathematical concept, not a physical one. It just means that some equation has a parameter that, at some value (beginning of time, center of black hole, etc) makes the equation no longer work. Neither beginning of time nor center of black hole *actually* have any singularity. Our *models* of those things result in a singularity. And BTW I'd like to propose this as the #4 thing people often misunderstand about the Big Bang (but less important than the other three)

I sincerely hope that Dr Lincoln continues his weekly lectures even after corona virus is licked. However, all of this requires a great deal of time and effort from him and at least two or three other people. I suspect that the effort to produce a lecture a week will interfere with his research and other duties.

Sir I have questions- 1. as we all know that quantum fluctuations are everywhere in space. Does that mean space can't exist without the energy or can we say where there is space there has to be energy. 2. In lots of videos and articles it is mentioned that there was no space before the big bang. How is this even possible?

Where there is space there has to be energy (a very slight variation in position and momentum) because of HUP. Otherwise particles could be exactly localized in violation of HUP. Perhaps the observable universe had no space before the big bang because it was very small, but the modern thinking is that the entire universe (meaning all of empty space before any matter existed) is infinite in one sense or another. Infinite space is the opposite of no space.

the creation of the universe can also be described as the splitting and fusing of other universes. but we can not explain why there was nothing before the bang as we don't know

I keep thinking there is a connection between the Higgs field and the space field. Like The Higgs gives mass, slowing an object down, but a space field decreases that objects mass, or at least try’s to, creating an equilibrium point of acceleration? And that’s why light moves at the speed it does?

I wanted to know what published paper is there about the bigbang and to study the observation we made and have to came about this conclusion ??

Amazing answers, thank you all! I love science. 💕 But still, we need more time.

I've read that before inflation at t= 10**-35 seconds or so the universe was much less than the size of the earth, yet not as small as what might be known as a singularity. Was the type of particles present at that time known, or was it just an indistinguishable plasma of some sort. Was that the densest form of matter possible, and how does it compare in composition and density to that of neutron stars?

Is the 'visible universe' the same size as, what I'm coining 'the Causal universe'? Are barriers to E.M.R. something that might distinguish a difference between these two forms? I expect gravity effects extend deepest into the universe.

From what I have learned is within the very first second of the universe and not until later within the first second within Planck time measurements, there was no matter until the universe cooled down to 2 trillion degrees is when the strong force started to bind the quarks together in protons and neutrons that produced the first matter, while other subatomic particles were interacting within the Higgs field and later gaining mass. It still took 380 thousand years for the very first atoms to come into being and hundreds of millions of years after the big bang stars and galaxies came into existence.

Tnq sir❤️

Was there a moment when the wavelength of CMB was in visible light interval, making it detectable by eye (if one had really strong eyes)?

Yes. Recombination happened about 3000k, same 3000k as on light bulbs aka orange. Prior to that, the energy in the photons was too much to let electrons stick to protons. This is why we can't see "past" the CMB, because all of those free electrons were causing photons to bounce all over, like a fog. It wasn't a thick fog. It was something along the lines of a photon could only travel about 100 light years, or there about, before hitting an electron. From that perspective, we'd be able to see nearly all of the stars in our sky with our eyes. But over galactic scales, it turns into an impenetrable fog. The exact numbers aren't perfect, but the idea should be correct. I assume the luminosity would be off the charts. Essentially very point in the sky would be sending photons at you. To put that into perspective, the sun only covers a small portion of the sky and it's very bright. I could be very wrong with this, I am a layman making mildly educated guesses.
