Yes, not every day I find out that the Universe is twice as old as it was the day before, but there are some days when I find out I am twice as old as I was the day before. It happens that old age doesn't come gradually with the flow of time but, most of the time, in giant leaps.

Tbh, if there's a huge part of the Universe that we can't see, it could be that the Universe is much much bigger than we think it is. So it COULD be that the Universe is even older than 26 billion years, much older.

I like Tired Light more than the Expanding Universe. The evidence speaks against it, but it still has a warm place in my heart.

Thanks for being objective about this. It's unfortunately common in all areas of scientific research to outright dismiss, or refuse to publish material because it doesn't match with pre-conceived ideas, hypotheses, or theories. Maybe it's great, maybe it's garbage... either way, it should be open for discussion. For me, the whole point about publication is to expose the ideas, the research, the data to the world, and see what happens. All too often, the wider public and the media mistakenly seem to consider that just because something is published, then it must be unassailable and "true".

Great vid and all.. that shirt though 😍

Thanks for discussing the 'tired light' hypothesis. I heard about it, but didn't know the details. The change in constants, perhaps, can go differently depending not only on time, but also on some external conditions (for example, the concentration of something 'dark'). Under terrestrial conditions, this change could be greatly slowed down...

Thanks for this Christian, as ever you've left a smoking crater of my mind! The universe has been around long enough for the Dead to evolve, thats pretty awesome in itself!

Thank you, for this fascinating video, and details of the intriguing new paper, suggesting that the universe could be almost double the age of 13.8 billion years. I first had a look at this, a few weeks ago, when there were quite a few sensationalist ‘click bait’ videos about this subject. Since then, one of the questions that popped into my head is, well, the universe might not have to be that much older, I don’t want to sound flippant, but what would be wrong with 14.8 billion years? That would at least give some of these very large early galaxies a more appropriate time to form, especially if the rate of galaxy formation was faster in the early universe. I realise, of course, that even that figure would conflict with the measurements of the CMB. I think the best thing to do, is to wait until we get much more data, it seems to me to be too early to be completely revising the age of our universe, particularly by such a huge leap!

@LaunchPadAstronomy

Yep, the best fits to the CMB are what’s constraining our age estimates. But we seem to know even less about how the first galaxies formed, which is why I’m guessing the answer may lie down that path.

What's crazier than _any_ of that is that it's actually _three_ times as *BIG* as we previously thought!! 🤯

Hi Launchpad Astronomy. I have an idea about tired light hypothesis. I’ve always wondered if it’s ever been considered if instead of light losing energy by bumping into particles as it travels through space could it be that light loses energy to the quantum field analogous to the way waves in a fluid lose energy to the medium they are travelling through.

Light has a minimal mass. Try it (m=E/c^2) so the light gets stretched in wavelength to redder frequencies over distance due to the gravity pulling on it during it's travels so that at some distance the redshifted light sould be too great for us to easily register and measure.

Thank you; The diagram it's useful

0:29 Is it possible to attach to this diagram a graph of the change in the time scale depending on the concentration of the mass? Can gravitational time dilation give a significant addition to the age of the Universe, measured in our usual terrestrial units of time?

@LaunchPadAstronomy

10 ай бұрын

The short answer is 'yes' as long as the sensitivity is increased as well (which it it is in JWST's case because it's a continuous mirror). JWST has already produced images that are "deeper" than the Hubble Deep Field thanks to simply being larger and more sensitive than HST in the near-IR. But whereas HST required ~2 weeks to obtain its deepest image, JWST got deeper in its 12-hour observation of its first gravitational lens. Imaging Betelgeuse is probably not going to happen with JWST because it's too bright, so it would saturate the detectors even during the minimum exposure time. As for SAFIR, it wasn't included in the ASTRO2020 decadal survey so I doubt we'll see anything with its capability in the next couple of decades. Cheers!

So we have: Dark Energy = Mystery Dark Matter = Mystery Inflation = Mystery Now with Tired Light = Mystery. I think we need a new Copernicus here soon.

Isn't the supposition of the current model that faraway object should be as brighter for surface fraction as closer one wrong too? After all more fraction of the light for faraway objects should be blocked by dust and gasses, because was traveling more.

the Exact same thing happened to me. I woke up to find that I was twice as old. aka Really Old.

@dewiz9596

10 ай бұрын

. .. a very big box

"All models are wrong, some are useful."

With time dilation within concentrated space how was the early universe even perceivable in our frame of reference? Like, what percent of all those years was experienced in the blink of an eye?

Time and length are not constant. If all the matter and energy was compressed the further back we go to the singularity...how is that quantified? EDIT: NVM addressed at around the 7 minute mark.

Could it be possible we are detecting things outside the old "rim" of our big bang? And there could be matter and space beyond that is much older?

How can you calculate, if time is not constant?

Could red shift be explained by the curvature of space time. Objects may appear to be closer than they actually are as they are further around space time curvature.

Time slows down near massive objects..So as the light from distant galaxies passes nearer massive objects on its way to us, it gets red shifted. Just an idea..IDK

If the universe or should I say the distant galaxies are 26.7 billion years old then why did it take an additional 13 billion years for the Milky Way to begin. It's only 13.7 billion years old. 26.7 - 13.7 = 13 billion years. Why are the galaxies different ages if a big bang happened? Wouldn't galaxies all be the same age after a big bang? I actually know the answer, I just wanted to see if anyone else realized the error in the laws of thermodynamics like I did. I also accurately predicted the old galaxies in the early universe in first book I published 3 months before the JWST was launched and almost a year before they released the first CEERS survey. On page 48 I wrote quote, "James Webb Space Telescope will discover old, fully grown galaxies as far as the telescope can see, further than 13.8 billion light-years away." And that's exactly what the telescope discovered. I knew exactly what the JWST was going to find. There is no tired light. The only reason why I published the books about this is because I tried to tell NASA employees their theories and laws of physics were wrong and even showed them how to fix them but they were arrogant, assumed they were right and I was wrong. The only way I could prove my equations correct was if the JWST discovered fully grown galaxies further than the time when the big bang happened. Then they would have to agree, their theories of gravity, the big bang, laws of thermodynamics and the evolutionary cosmological model they've held with such high regards are completely wrong. But, it's difficult for a dog to change his spots. I came up with a much older date to when the universe began after measuring the mass of a few distant smooth galaxies. One galaxy I measured appeared to be more than 300 trillion years old. Our Milky Way galaxy is really young compared to it. That was the first evidence a big bang never happened. In the first book I published, SECRET UNIVERSE: GRAVITY I explained how gravity is made in large mass and why it doesn't happen in small mass like atoms. I fixed the equations of general relativity and now it agrees with special relativity, quantum mechanics and James Maxwell's field equations. Yes, TOE or theory of everything. The equations of gravity now explain everything, even why some celestial bodies move much faster than what the laws of motion and GR can explain due to their mass, inverse square to other mass, which led to dark matter and dark energy being postulated. The next book I publish will be titled DARK MATTER IS DEAD: MYSTERY SOLVED. The book is already 367 pages long. The books I published are at cost of publishing, printing and shipping. I don't make any money off them. I really don't need your money. I have cancer, had 3 heart attacks and just want my theories to get out to the public before I go again. I can't take money with me when I go. Yes, again, I passed in my sleep July 24th 2021 and days later awoke in ICU. My NDE was a wild experience. I was told to go back to Earth and publish everything into books. It's been 2 years, So far, I've published 48 books. I've got so many more to go in such little time. Did you know the equations of general relativity were wrong? Did you know according to special relativity, quantum mechanics and James Maxwell's equations on EM fields we can't use a telescope to look back in time? That's why the galaxies in the distant universe appear to be similar in mass and brightness as the galaxies in our local neighborhood. That's why I wrote old fully grown galaxies would be found further than 13.8 billion light years away. There is no such thing as look back time. Believing we can use a telescope to look into the past is as silly as believing we can use a microscope to look into the future. Light information happens in an instant when the telescope or observer is contained inside the EM field they're measuring. Peace and love to all.

JWST ultra deep fields are crucial for better understanding the early universe!

Webb just got started 👀👨🏿‍⚕️

01:59 -- "...that's been driving and accelerating the expansion ever since the big bang." I was under the impression that the expansion rate of the universe was decelerating from after inflation through about 9.8 billion years of age, and then reversed and started accelerating. Which one is it? 1 - Accelerating since the big bang, or; 2 - Big bang, inflation, deceleration until 9.8 billion years, then acceleration

Divergent thinkers are usually wrong....until they revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Even if Gupta's theory doesn't pan out, he's causing people to search for flaws in the model like a good proofreader. There's real value in spurring people to question the validity of their assumptions.

It could be infinitely longer than we believe

Are we changing things so they match up? Why should a universe or Multiverse have any beginning, or any ending for that matter?

Neat

in 20 years we'll think it's 40 plus billion years old. We'll eventually come to a conclusion that the universe is infinitely large.

I imagine the background radiation is leftover from the former star that went supernova creating all the heavy element we have on earth now. We may bot be able to detect the universe’s radiation through all the leftover radiation from the original supernova.

I guess I must have missed it when they explained the accelerated expansion of the universe. Is that because they said "dark energy" did it?

Instead of 'Tired Light' (or photons getting constantly bumped a little bit), why can't the single temporal dimension simply contract like the three spatial dimensions are expanding over the lifespan of the universe? As the universe is converting more and more massless energy into matter (which will eventual end up in increasingly growing super massive black holes and active galactic nuclei), doesn't that mass affect the ticking of time in the overall universe in general as well?

I calculate for a few years ago the universe must be much older than 13 billion years old, because I calculate it takes up to 30 to 50 billions years or even up to 200 billion years for the dust to gathering to galaxies. I never heard or read about anyone who can explain how dust can gathering to galaxies in just 300 to 1 billion years. So after "BIG BANG" it was dark "Dark age" for 30 to 50 billion years before stars light up the universe

I was disregarding this paper out of hand. It was clearly a desperate attempt at attention. The problem that Gupta doesn't realize is that unlike politics, bad attention in the astronomy and physics world will end your career. He really should have included more collaborators in the paper to check and double check his ideas before publishing.

I’ll just throw this out here. . . “Cosmic Inflation “ strikes me as a cosmological “Charlie Brown Constant”. The laws of physics were different? Then who’s to say they are still not changing? What about those copies of the “Standard Kilogram” that seem to be inconsistent?

After seeing many episodes on the universe I start to suspect that we don’t know what the heck we are talking about.

I find it very funny how quickly we are to proclaim how old the universe is, when the truth of the matter is that we can barely see past our own nose in reality. What we perceive as being the greatest distance that we could possibly envision (simply because it is the furthest we can observe, what hubris...) is actually barely even scratching the surface. We are so limited by our own lack of capability and we make such grand implications that are almost always proven false. We need to be more reserved about our proclamations of fact because they are merely conjecture when it comes to the vastness of the universe.

'Giuliani invented the tired light theory. Understood.'

it wasnt THAT long ago, but certainly AFTER the Hubble had been around for a few years, and also the internet, that I was puzzled that nobody was saying that there appears to be a massive black hole in the center of all (most) of the galaxies. Then I was also perplexed that one of the, ahem, greatest discoveries in astronomy of the 20th century by Edwin Hubble was that everything was moving away from each other, and at a faster speed as the universe expanded. HUH ?? . If that was the case, then how come, I told myself, that Andromeda and our galaxy were gonna collide. Made NO SENSE to me. A different statement that WOULD be more accurate would be that a LOT of things in the universe were moving away from each other, and the further away that we look, the faster the universe was moving apart. Then I looked at the red shift statement, and I thought that the red shift was only useful in accuracy, at a certain distance. The further we looked, I thought, the red shift would be skewed with major inaccuracies. Why ? Because of all the bending of space and gravitational lensing etc etc that we see with our most powerful telescopes. I also looked at the cosmic 'web'. And it really proved to me that everything was NOT moving away from everything else. People need to realize, that our understanding of the universe is in its INFANCY, as we have only been making many many many observations for a few YEARS !! And certain 'facts' in the astronomy community, will change and change and change, as we learn more and more. Well I hope I typed this correctly and hope people understand what I mean.
