You seem to have understood everything in the video, kindly explain what infinite density is, and what would be making it infinite, is it the mass or volume? If its the mass, what would contain an infinite mass, and if its the volume, how can that be when the big bang is theorized to have originated from a point smaller than an atom?? Science is great, but I am getting the feeling more and more that people just aren't questioning things and are just swallowing whatever science presents, some of which is in my opinion ridiculous. How can density be infinite if you logically think about it? Even though I am not a physicist, I am willing to bet my life that there's no way something like mass can be infinite, it wouldn't make any logical sense.

Why do I found your videos addicting? Like, I can’t stop watching them… Ur my favorite educator so far.

Thanks, Arvin, for another great video! My mind was still struggling with the X10^78 growth during Inflation when you said "unimaginably bigger"... I wonder what would be "unimaginable" to a person like you or Dr Guth :)

I've heard this explained by many others, but this is one of the better presentations.

Good timing. I literally just finished reading chapter 4 in the book "Origins" by Tyson that goes over this very subject. Seeing it after reading it makes it easier to understand. Always love your videos!

Excellent lecture! Thank you, Mr. Ash.

Impatiently waiting for the next part!

I watched videos from other sources (and read articles). Arvin's contribution clarifies a few concepts. I find inflation theory makes sense now. The timeline presented gives me a feel (sort of) for such tiny durations, like 10^-32 second. At the level of the Planck units, this is a huge duration. A lot can and did happen. That the universe expands from every single spot in the universe, and in all directions, can only be possible with a fourth dimension feeding space with energy (dark energy?). It's not the time dimension.

Thanks, that is super interesting. This has to be one of my favourite channels, please keep up the outstanding videos.

Here, in Argentina, economic inflation grows almost in the same way as cosmological inflation every year. It just occurred to me watching the video, couldn't we be a black hole that exploded in another universe by Hawking radiation?

Given that recent observations have largely falsified the cosmological principal assumption of the existence of any scale where the universe is isotropic and homogeneous up to 4.9 sigma (meaning there is only a 1 in 2 million statistical odds of the observations being a statistical fluke arising by chance within a universe where the cosmological principal largely applies) I have personally become extremely skeptical of the so called inflationary model. What has been conveniently forgotten with the standard narrative for modern cosmology is that we have *never* had proof that the dipole observed in the CMB is "kinematic" that was merely assumed for convenience in the absence of any data. However there was an experimental test proposed in the 1980's which could test this assumption either verifying or falsifying the kinematic dipole assumption. The catch is that the test requires millions of cosmologically distant sources all across the whole sky which can be used to construct a dipole to compare to the CMB dipole in magnitude and direction data which hasn't existed. As such the field of cosmology largely went on assuming their assumption since then as an initial premise despite warnings of other cosmologists and mathematicians Last year this test was finally performed by Nathan J. Secrest et al. using 1.36 million quasars measured over the various initial and extended missions of WISE that are cataloged into the meta catalogue catWISE. The Dipole differs in 8 degrees of direction with over twice the magnitude of the CMB dipole which is at 4.9 sigma disagreement with the kinematic dipole assumption which requires that both dipoles be the same in both magnitude and direction. Citation: Nathan J. Secrest et al 2021 ApJL 908 L51 This is significant enough to rule out the pure kinematic dipole assumption, i.e. the cosmological components of the CMB dipole arising from inhomogeneities and anisotropies encoded in the CMB epoch must be nonzero. Remember the observed dipole in the CMB is in general a combination of the kinematic component of the dipole but also two cosmological components that respectively represent both the initial inhomogeneities and anisotropies at the time of recombination when the CMB was emitted and all the distortions from intervening inhomogeneities in density. The standard cosmological model is built on the *assumption* that all of these components are zero except the kinematic term. This has now been experimentally *falsified* showing that at least one of these other components must be significantly nonzero. *The existence of a nonzero cosmological component to the CMB dipole automatically is sufficient to falsify the existence of the cosmological principal within the observable universe.* This in turn is sufficient to falsify one of the main lines of "evidence for inflation namely the supposed "smoothness" of the early universe, hence inflation is now on far more shaky ground as the reason it appears smooth turns out to be that you have applied a correction to eliminate the large temperature and density fluctuations that were actually encoded in the CMB because they looked to large for cosmologists to except. TDLR *the CMB fluctuations appear small not because they actually are small but because cosmologists have removed the large fluctuations from the data set before they analyzed it because they seemed too large to be fluctuations in their assumed model.* If you want the paper to check for yourself I have cited it above and if needed I can provide a link to the paper so you can read it for yourself.

I don't think inflation is an explanation. Someone said elsewhere in these comments that observing that two cars have collided is a good description of a car crash, but fails to explain the events. I think inflation is the same, as far as it is required for the BB theory to make sense. Even so, there are a few other ways that the modern universe doesn't quite look like the theory predicts. The good news is that the JWST will be looking back in time to perhaps 100m years after the BB. That will give us some great new observations that should help focus our minds.

I never thought of the big bang in terms of the beginning of time, or even being a moment in time. More like thats when the universe began its expansion, an expansion made possible by its sudden interaction with a dimension it previously had no interaction with, time. Had the universe not been in the dimension of time, then the entirety of our universe cannot change. Essentially everything existing simultaneously with no means to interact at all.

That it was just space itself that started expanding. And then shortly after is when matter started appearing. i.e. where a matter and an anti-matter start popping into existence, and for some reason not all of the matter got destroyed by the anti-matter, which is what makes up all of the galaxies, stars, planets, etc. that we see today.

There's a very good reason there are no magnetic monopoles and it has nothing to do with cosmic inflation. It's a quirk in the way we choose to represent the magnetic field. Early on, we decided to define the magnetic field as a vector, or more correctly as an axial vector (through the cross product). But the cross product is a poor way of defining the magnetic field. Taking two vectors and multiplying them with the cross product results in a strange vector pointed in an arbitrary direction. It doesn't even transform properly when reflected. The magnetic field is better represented by a wedge product; ie. a directed area. Seen in this light, if we apply Gauss' Law to a magnetic charge and look at the surface surrounding the charge, we see that integrating over the surface by looking at infinitesimal areas of magnetic field, the edges of all those surfaces cancel out. Each of those areas can be viewed as tiny circulating currents and the currents at the edges cancel to give an total integral of zero. Of course you can poke a hole in the surface and the areas wont cancel. This is essentially what Dirac did. But it's kind of a cheat.

If the universe (by "universe" I meam our cluster of universe that appeared as a result of "slowing down" of part of the eternally inflationary universe) is currently infinite in size, then it must have been infinite at the Big Bang as well. If so is it true that space-time wise only the point in the center of this universe ("central volume"/"singularity point") had all the building blocks that eventually turned into matter and energy and everywhere else in this infinite universe had nothing at all even at quantum levels (or maybe just the "quantum foam")?

Ok sir, so universe is not expanding into anything its just the apparent distance between two objects in space is increasing with time which appears us to be expansion of universe. But couldn't it be due to decreases in strength of interaction of matter and energy with spacetime.Like I do not know in early stage of universe but it can be true for now because we do not know why matter interacts with spacetime afterall and latter is true by a simple analogy of a plane sheet of cloth. When the cloth is stretched and we put a heavier ball at the center of it and mark any point on it and measure the distance between them and repeat the same with a lighter ball, the distance between them is appeared to be reduced and can be termed as expansion.

The best description of the inflation I've seen so far! I've also been disturbed by the grapefruit, or golf ball, or small galaxy representing the size of the universe after the inflation, which we can read about in popular science books concerning the expansion of the universe and the Big-Bang theory, but for it's size rather than it's lack of flatness. Today the expansion rate (r) is something like 0.074 per billion years. meaning that any distance in expanding space will be about 7 % bigger when a billion years have past, than it was before. Also, because the expansion is supposed to have been accelerating over the last billions of years, the expansion rate must have been lower before. And 13.8 billion years of expansion would mean that the "diameter" of the universe has grown less than 2.8 times (e^(r*t), with t=13.8) since then. Going backwards 13.8 billion years, to the time directly after the inflation phase, would mean a diameter at more than 30 billion light years (only for the visible part of the universe, said to be about 90 billion light years today). That is not exactly the medium size of a grapefruit! Our grapefruit would at best be the size of a watermelon today. Houston, we have a problem! There's some expansion missing in our universe. Also I have a hard time realizing that "distant parts" of the grapefruit should be beyond communication by the speed of light from each other. So, how would we account for the invisible part of the universe, surrounding us out there, if it wasn't the inflation that ripped the regions apart? Was the phase of slowing down from the inflation-rate long enough to fix this leap? Why not include that time, then, into the inflation phase? Or was the grapefruit just a joke, passed on by the next storyteller?

We do not experience time any differently whether we are traveling fast or whether we are in a large gravitational well. We experience time exactly the same regardless of these factors. The only effect you would notice is when you compare the ticking of your clock to the clock of on a different reference frame. And paradoxically, it would appear to you that you are standing still, and everyone else is moving fast. So your clock on your fast spaceship would run faster compared to say a clock on earth.

I have a question. How long would it take for our universe to get to the point that it ends up expanding as quickly as it did during the inflationary epoch? And is that point anywhere near the amount of time it's been estimated it would take to spawn a universe such as our own just based on random quantum fluctuations?

With which you could arc or otherwise incrementally store and distribute power from by having a gear ratio system between prime dimensions and thier force carrying expression particle. Some 4d structure in a 4d environment being strained out into a 2d matter area. And is it also plausible using some clever mechanical tricks/inventions, that it could transfer enough power and pressure through static means, (pressure tank under water, drain outer tank to change pressure, as a fine tune static method example.....) Or solar etc... To run it sustainably as some form of reactor for eating waste materials and pumping out energy... As a suggestion. This could work both ways. Depending if you want More immediate power or power over time. Gearing.... Also a good material to start with would be Graphene i expect. Feeding in an iron core and making it spin in containment with magnetic fields that should cancel out other influences. Im hoping that graphene and iron in the right pressure scenario with the right stabilising tweaks like pressure adjustment mid process. May be able to create a dynamo with incredibly limited friction....

It doesn’t matter how much you blow up the balloon if the ants are not moving they will always remain 10cm away from each other. The problem being as you expand the area of the balloon, the 1cm mark they use to define distance marked on the surface is also increasing at the same rate. You don’t blow up the balloon and have 15 marks appear between the ants where there previously had been 9 or 10. Yes the total distance between them has changed, but so has their measuring stick for distance.

Were those inflatons massless? When did matter start to form? It must be shortly after space formed. And how? Perhaps, you could make a video about this. I have read about this. I know you can make this topic crystal clear.

So why did the universe need to be causally connected to be homogeneous? Could the homogeneity be due to a property of the universe? When I heat steel, it expands exactly the same way as the same composition of steel anywhere else in the universe no matter how far apart they are, they don't need to be causally connected. Inflation dosent explain why we can't separate magnetic poles either. Not well understood? I understand it to be total science fiction.

According to some theories, colliding universes could lead to cosmic inflation, causing a rapid expansion of the universe.

I believe some say if we accept the universe to be flat, it could be infinite. My question is how can the universe be infinite if it had a finite size in the past??

There is no evidence that it ever had a finite size. It is safely presumed to be infinite. As this video states: BBT is explanation of the universe from dense non zero spacetime, not mythical and unexplainable singularity.

Could this inflation field have a negative value and consume space instead of creating it? Could mass interfere with this field so gravity is space being consumed?

Thank you so much for this video Arvin

How can u say there is no outside if there was an expansion and a size? What space did the universe expand into? Could u Explain further

We just know the the universe was smaller than it is today. But the universe has always been the size of the universe. There is no reference frame outside of it

@@ArvinAsh thank you for the reply 😊 So are u saying the universe has always been, the Big Bang is just a thing inside that space that expanded into the uni we see today? I’m genuinely curious about the before even though ik that question is nonsensical Also, do know about Penrose’s theory on previous eons?

I have started thinking of the 'big bang' as more of a decay in an inflationary field. These areas of decay are universes being born. It saves of from a uniqueness problem and allows for eternal inflation.

This is a promising idea and interesting thought. Decay implys time is ticking though so his "start of time" mark may have to be rethought. I hope Arvin touches on that in the next episode.

@@charliemeyer6475 It preserves the Second Law, which I agree with Susskind , cannot be violated, like it would be in Penrose's bouncy Universe model. It actually makes it intrinsic to universe formation.

With the Webb being the new infrared telescope.. Could it be used to create a more detailed CMB picture than ever before?

I think more emphasis should be made on the fact that everything regarding cosmic inflation is purely hypothetical. This theory provides nice sounding solutions but that's it. The geocentric model also made a lot of sense at first because everything in the sky seems to move around Earth, and yet here we are today with a much deeper understanding of the true structure of the Universe. Perhaps we should be less afraid of saying "we don't know yet" instead of pulling such 'miracle' explanations.

I just got an idea! The universe only seemingly expanded faster than light. It did not expand faster than light. All that happened during the inflation epic was that there was NO MASS during that time! During the time when there was pure energy, the universe expanded without any time passing by, so this would "seem" to be happening in an instant from the perspective of the pure energy (photons and gluons) and there was no spacetime relativistic inertial frames, if you will. There was an ever-growing sea of photons and gluons, which do not experience time or space. Only when massive particles were introduced, electrons protons and neutrons, did time and space begin bcus that's when inertial frames of reference began.

I better understood Inflation theory after thinking why we don't observe waves of change propagating across the Universe, from one side to the other. It seems to supersede causality. The changes we see today are happening in a space that practically appeared in an instant.

Watching this video makes it really clear that you do not believe in a multiverse. Not saying we ARE in a multiverse, but the way you described the universe means it is impossible to believe in a multiverse theory. I don't think we humans are advanced enough to really know, I mean, strictly speaking, there are still other theories that can explain our universe without a "big bang" Also, I still believe you can have a center of a universe, even if you use the balloon example, a balloon has a center. Our universe is so huge and if you truly believe our universe has no boundaries, which I still find so difficult to believe, then we might have no center. It is very hard to explain why it is so hard to believe we have no boundaries, I mean, even watching this video, I find it is clear that we actually do have a boundary, this does not mean a physical one. Many countries have a boundary you can cross from one country to an other without crossing a wall for example. But, I really love science and most of all, the universe. And I really love your videos, because what makes it interesting is that we STILL are on a journey to discover the mysteries.

I don’t think you interpreted the video quite correctly. 1. Arvin did not suggest the multiverse was not feasible, stay tuned for the next episode to see that it is still possible. 2. While the ballon analogy can insinuate a finite universe, that was not the intention. The balloon analogy can still be used for an infinite universe.

@@gravitonthongs1363 if the universe has no boundaries, how can there be a multiverse? Let us say, just as a theory, we can move from one universe to an other, that means we HAVE to cross the boundary of the universe to cross into the next one, right?

@@gravitonthongs1363 I used the wrong word, at around 4:30, he says, no edge, but for me boundary and edge are almost the same. If there is no edge, how can we have a multiverse? I mean, let us PRETEND we are Gods and can actually zoom out, if you see a multiverse, then each universe must have an edge, then a universe should have a center, etc ... But I just LOVE thinking about this, and that is why I like videos like this, it makes you think, but it also makes you question things, and that is what science is all about. To challenge theories and find answers. :)

How can something without an edge have a finite volume? The more I look into big bang cosmology the more incorrect it seems. Looking forward to a paradigm that moves us beyond it.
