Cosmic Queries - JWST’s Primordial Galaxies with Neil deGrasse Tyson & Wendy Freedman

Ғылым және технология

What do the early galaxies discovered by JWST tell us about the early universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Matt Kirshen explore the expansion of space, dark energy, and the age of the universe with astronomer, Wendy Freedman.
What is the Hubble constant? Wendy helps us explain what it is, how Edwin Hubble got it, and why it’s important. If the universe is expanding at an increasing rate why are we calling it a constant? When did we figure out the expansion was speeding up? Discover our cosmic horizon, how we found the age of the universe, and Einstein’s biggest blunder.
What does the JWST discovery tell us about our current model for the early universe? Learn about The Dark Ages- and, no, it is not the era following the fall of the Roman Empire. How is the JWST helping challenge ideas in astronomy?
Is our universe young, middle-aged, or old? Learn about the different ages of the universe, dark energy, and how we live at an inflection point between eras. What does Wendy think about The Big Rip Theory? If time is relative, how do we reliably predict the age of the universe? What if we predicted the age of the universe from right outside a black hole?

    This episode was a real treat for me. The Hubble made the 90's super exciting. I followed along by reading the Health and Science section of the Boston Globe on my subway commute. It made us rethink our understanding of the Universe many times and it's a real thrill to hear from one of the main people who was behind this work. Thank you. The single biggest jaw dropping moment of my life was the day the first Hubble Deep Space photo was published. I think my jaw was on the floor the whole day, couldn't even focus on anything else. It was just so mind blowing to learn there were that many other galaxies. I loved following along as the science community tweaked and refined our understanding of it all. I was fully expecting JWST to find early galaxies more mature than expected because that's the same thing the Hubble found. Just further with JWST. Now we're learning it's closer to 2 to 4 trillion galaxies in the observable Universe. Awesome. Thanks again for doing what you do. We love it!

    I wonder if the influences of gravity in our particular corner of the Virgo Supercluster are significant enough to make our reckoning of time appreciably different from what it might be in the middle of the Boötes Void. If there were a star system in the center of that void with an intelligent civilization, would the universe appear to be older, younger, or automatically adjusted to the same age due to the relative paucity of dark matter? Also, the whole "frame of reference" thing gives me a headache because there's always another reference frame; why haven't we redefined our frame of reference based on the Great Attractor, since that seems to have the greatest gravitational influence in our region? One of my favorite things about academia is the interplay and communication between arts and sciences. In the late 1980s, when ST:TNG first aired, most peoples' understanding of relativity and quantum physics wouldn't have challenged what is presented in _What the Bleep Do We Know,_ but it's fair to assume that Joni Mitchell would have heard of the findings of the B2FH paper when she wrote "Woodstock" in 1969. One of the most frustrating things about TV shows is that the writers have little to no connection with academia. In later seasons of _The Big Bang Theory,_ even when Sheldon was wearing black hole collision T-shirts, the writers were drawing on _What the Bleep_ concepts for their plot arcs.

    Even though Wendy didn't want to answer, I REALLY wish Neil answered the Big Rip questions despite it being speculative and sufficiently distant that it doesn't effectively matter. I mean Wendy was quite positive on the fact that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, and as Neil said, the Big Rip is just an extrapolation of that aspect far into the future... I think it's plausible enough at this point that entertaining some thought experiments about that event is valid and I thought both questions were great, even if it's pure speculation.

    I have heard that if you were to watch a person fall into a black hole. The observer outside the black hole would see the person slowing down as they approached the event horizon, eventually seeming to be frozen at the event horizon. If the black hole is spinning, would the observer see that frozen image of the person remain stationary? Would the image of the person appear to spin or orbit the black hole due to frame dragging? The event horizon is not a solid surface, so it shouldn’t spin with the black hole, but it is hard to imagine that the last image of the person falling through the event horizon wouldn’t move.

    I would like to ask if it is possible to determine from the radial velocity of a galaxy parameters such as acceleration, potential energy and potential power from acceleration.For example, if a car accelerates from 60km/h(16.666m/s) to 100km/h(27. 77m/s) which has a mass of 1600kg in t=5s seconds , then the power to overcome the drag is P=m*(dv/dt)*(v+dv), since I cannot measure the small values of dt and dv I will use the approximate relationship P=m*(v2-v1/t)*(v1+(v2-v1))=1600*(11.111/5)*27.777=98.76kW and the potential power P/m=a*v =61.72W/kg. If for the radial velocity of the galaxy v=H*R then the potential energy is a*R=(H*R)^2=v^2, the acceleration a=2*H^2*R and the potential power P/m=H^3*R^2. The balance of acceleration with gravity is GM/R^2=2*H^3*R R^3/M=G/2*H^3 .I'm not saying those relationships are correct, but is it possible to determine those parameters based on observations?

    I have a question about fine tuning the Universe. I've long thought the Multiverse could answer that. After all, if we assume an infinite or/and eternal Multiverse, everything seems to come together to lead to a universe like ours, however finely tuned it may be. Yet, I recently read that to produce so many different universes, the Multiverse would also have to be fine-tuned (regardless of whether it was infinite or eternal I guess). This upset me because from then on, for the very first time, the hypothesis of a Creator God seemed to me a bit less far-fetched than the Multiverse. What do you think ?

    Here's my hot take (call me crazy if you like, but hear me out first): It was originally theorized that due to the collective gravity of everything in the universe, the universe's acceleration will decrease over time, not increase. What if that is actually the case, the universe is slowing in expansion, but due to the effects of gravity on time dilation (as detailed in Einstein's theory of general relativity), time itself is also being slowed by the collective gravity of everything in the universe. So, from our perspective, the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating, since the motion of objects is measured relative to the passage of time, which is also slowing?

    I think that general relativity/age of the universe questions is more important. She said that when we macroscopically measure the age of the universe we shouldn't pick high gravity density regions like near black holes. So how can we accurately measure the age of the universe when we are also at a considerably high gravity region ourselves. When we look macroscopically, although not as black holes, we are in a high gravity region of galactic superclusters, milky way, the sun, planet earth. Just like when we measure heights on earth compared to the sea level which is the lowest place on surface, shouldn't we pick places with very low gravity like super voids to measure the age ?

    Well space and time are linked and in a sense could be considered much the same thing, which is why it's referred to as "space-time". Much the same way electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same coin and are referred to as "electromagnetism"... So in a sense, the fact that space is expanding also means time is expanding in the same way. Edit: Therefore time expanding couldn't really be the CAUSE of space expanding, since dark energy is affecting both of them as 'spacetime'. (Just my random thoughts, I'm no expert.)

    Question: In this video we say that light doesn’t have the velocity to escape a black hole. I thought the reason light cant escape a black hole is because of the massive amount of gravity in a blackhole warps the space around it to the extent that all “gravitational roads” lead back to the blackhole once you get to the event horizon. Why is velocity relevant? Second question? If there was a velocity that could “escape” a blackhole what would that velocity be? Just trying to learn.

    Maybe this is a naïve question: Can general relativity model a changing Hubble constant over the life of the universe with a cosmological constant that is a function of time (in the event empirical observations are not in fact reconciled to a constant)? I ask this because in a calculus course I took way back when it was shown that when integrating partial differential equations you get a function of integration, not a constant of integration (as you do with ordinary differential equations).

    If the Universe is expanding it can only be measured relative to our position. If that is the case, it would mean that we are either standing still or moving in an opposite direction. And if that is the case then there must be different speeds between the different galaxies. So how does one measure the different speeds with us as a reference point, simply because we're not in those spaces inorder make the calculations?

    If everything is expanding away then is there a point where we can rewind to and therefore find a place where the big bar happened and therefore know what was expanding into

    So at 10:35 she says "its beyond our Horizon" My question is - could this horizon be a Rindler Horizon? Most people might not know what a Rindler Horizon is... So let me explain: A Rindler Horizon, is something that comes out of special relativity that's quite interesting. It proves that you can "somewhat" travel "faster" than light. What that means is - everytime you accelerate towards some location in space - there is a Rindler Horizon formed behind you (VERY far away (lightyears away)) that light comming beyond that horizon CAN'T reach you (even though it is traveling faster than you) for as long as you are accelerating even if your acceleration is very small... So for example... Say that you are on a spaceship near the Earth accelerating towards some location in empty space... The fact that you accelerated - creates a Rindler Horizon at star 1 lightyear away from you (creates is used metaphorically here). So if you keep accelerating for 1 entire year - the light from that star won't be able to reach you, even if you accelerated with very small acceleration. But for that to happen you acceleration needs to be constant. If at any point you stop accelerating then the light eventually reaches you. And of course you will need an infinite amount of energy to keep accelerating forever - therefore with enough time, light eventually catches up to you - so no - you can't actually travel faster than light that way... So - it could be (that's my question) that our Galaxy is accelerating away from every other galaxy - and that acceleration (even though we are not traveling in space faster than light...) creates a Rindler Horizon that has been formed, at exactly at the edge of our observable Universe 13.8 billion light years away... If our Rindler Horizon is 13.8 billion light years away - then light from beyond that horizon will never reach us... If that is true - then there is no "faster than light" speed involved anywhere; Space doesn't need to do anything - neither move faster or slower than light... Cuz the whole thing can be explained by the usage of Rindler Horizons; If those galaxies that are 13.8 BLY away from us have a Rindler Horizon formed right smack on us - then nothing needs to move faster than light in order for the light from beyond those galaxies being unable to reach us... We simply exist beyond THEIR Rindler Horizon, so light will not reach us for as long as our Galaxy keeps accelerating... I hope this gets answered one day!

    I became aware on October 4 1988. Then all the events I had observe became factors for comparison. And yes I have been seeing the "Ratrix" in the conduct of the people themselves. Believe me thru me a "loop". And yes that does become another factor (Food for thought) in my day to day.
