Indeed considering his main focus was odd things in news or history, very impressed with how well he understands it all and the scripts seem just punchy enough to attract those totally new, yet also a little depth for those who know a bit more. For those who want to learn more, I highly recommend PBS Spacetime for theory and speculations, and Anton Petrov for observations and things currently being puzzled over. Sabine Hosssenfelder is also great but I've not seen much of her stuff yet. Just glad she calls things out like the Religious Zealotry of people obsessing over the unfalsifiable multiverse concepts. It could be true, so what? Cannot ever prove it. Cannot ever get there. I personally am not convinced by the CDM Hypothesis, but I would be happy to be proven wrong. I do think perhaps MOND might have a little truth to it. Our perspective on how gravity works has been entirely Earth-centric until more recently. Also disagreeing measurements over the rate of expansion of the universe causes me to question Dark Energy, which is believed with almost religious fervour. I'm no professional at Physics or anything at all, except I am actually the logical thinker that many think they are, because their egos and emotions tell them they are. Constantly challenging my own assumptions, beliefs and trying to minimise the Confirmation Bias we all have, including me.

@Rusty Shaklferd Make no mistake: "we" (meaning me at least) already understand(s) these phenomenon. Don't mistake "authority" for "science". I've told you and other about this for years. In a static universe with virtually "contracting" content (objects and time scales), dark matter is "rescaling", as is "red shift", "time frame dilation", "nonlocality", "or "favorable genome selection". Rescaling is a generic property of mapping and a function holding between any two states and among all states (of reality, at any level of mapping).
I like NDT's take on the term "Dark Matter". He says, it shouldn't really be called "matter", because we don't know if it IS matter. It should be called "Dark Gravity", because all we know about it is it's gravity, but with our understanding of the universe, the only thing which can generate gravity is matter, so we call it this. However, maybe our understanding of the universe is slightly off, and something not matter is making all this extra gravity around us. But he also said at the end that this is just arguing over a name, and there are plenty of theorists out there who are looking for an explanation of this gravity without the need to find this extra invisible mass.

Cool! I was too tired to make this comment about "Dark" "Matter" only being "Something" that we infer or observe as having a Gravitational Influence on Fermionic Matter. As much as I truly love Simon, sadly, he shouldn't keep making Physics Videos, because he's so truly out of his depths that he conveys information that is misleading. Some things might appear to merely be minor nitpicks, but let's be real: everytime there's a Physics video, there are always issues with the very fundamentals... And this, for anyone scientifically oriented, is simply unacceptable, as it's the whole foundation upon which anyone who listens to this thinking they're learning stuff that is faulty and will fail them or make them fail at some point... I used to believe that Simon could present ANYTHING on ANY SUBJECT, but no. These things take Physicists to explain. With the extremely important added bonus that they'll be talking about their passion, about what moves them and fuels their lives and dreams! Such as NDT! Simon still has almost every other subjects available to him!

Hundreds of years from now, scientists will be asking another great question: "What came first, the Twitter or the stupid?".
The Fermi Paradox has never bothered me. Let's assume we are average. It took 13 billion years from T=0 for us to get where we are now, which is life emitting detectable waves out into the universe. Everything we can see that is beyond our immediate proximity is in the past still. We look out at an earlier universe that hasn't caught up to us yet.

Yeah, time is the ultimate hurdle. Entire races of intelligent life have time evolve into and out existence within a blink of an eye on a galactic scale. The odds 2 races could evolve close enough to mutually detect each other within the span of their existence is remote. Even the human race is likely to evolve into some form of crab within the next millennia
"Where is everybody?" If there are civilizations in other star systems more advanced than our own, what makes us think we could detect them? We're leery of announcing our own presence. And if they're less advanced, they'd be very hard to detect. The chance of there being a civilization that's almost precisely matched with our current level of technological development is virtually nil.
The aliens are out there, but the universe is mindbogglingly huge. There's no reason to think other intelligent life know we exist or have interstellar travel.

Same here with one gripe; Fermi's paradox. An advanced alien civilization will not be using radio to communicate over vast interstellar distances. It's ridiculously inefficient and ridiculously insecure (even with encryption it still gives away your general location). We've already begun using lasers to communicate with satellites in orbit due to the increased bandwidth it offers. E.T is going to be using lasers or some other crazy technology we haven't discovered yet. And if E.T is not using radio, then we haven't even begun looking for aliens yet -- hence there is no paradox.

Is it possible, like the layman grasping the concept of infinity, that scientists can't grasp the concept of nothing?
@skyhawk_4526
Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure anyone can actually grasp the concept of nothing. I mean, nothing, after all and by its very definition, simply does not exist. The word is literally the conjunction of the two words "no" and "thing." It's like dividing a whole number by two again and again and again, forever. No matter how many quadrillions of times it's done, you'll still be left with a number each time. In my opinion, infinity (whether or not it is a real thing) is a much easier concept to grasp than the concept of nothing. I would therefore conclude that there is very obviously no such thing as nothing. Given that, how could anyone possibly grasp a concept that is obviously impossible? To put it another way, if one claims that they CAN grasp the concept of nothing, they clearly haven't thought the whole thing through.
stuff like this always makes me think about the starch contrast on our planet, at this moment there are people struggling to get food and water. and others are trying to solve the mysteries of the universe, crazy.

I've always liked the theory that dark matter, being only noticed because it has gravity and affects spacetime, is just regular matter in parallel universes. Which would basically mean that the various galaxies in all these parallel universes are holding each other together. Which would also explain why gravity appears to be so much weaker than the other forces. What if gravity only appears to be so weak because it's the only force that propagates through parallel universes. In which case, that would not only mean that parallel universes exist, but that they also affect each other. Meaning that not only could we prove the existence of parallel universes, but that movement between parallel universes might actually be possible.

Your channel continues to astonish me with its wealth of wisdom and insight. I'm truly grateful for the enlightenment you provide.
A couple of my own ideas. 1. Where is the antimatter? It could actually be out there. As far as I know antimatter's spectra look the sane as regular matter, so maybe some galactic superclusters are antimatter, which might be possible because superclusters are often isolated enough that there might not be much intermingling of matter and antimatter. 2. The Fermi paradox might simply be a combination of distance, and very quiet radio chatter (advanced equipment just doesn't need a super strong signal). Even we're going dark, because we don't need to spew gigawatts of radio to send our data. 3. Dark matter, at this point we seem to be making sh*t up to make our calculations work. 4. Dark Energy, could that simply be the inertia caused by the big bang, which might be resulting in more distant objects receding faster, possibly because those objects are also further back in time. There are a lot of possible simple explanations that fit Occum's razor a bit more eligantly than trying to make up a new particle or saying there are no aliens.

1. Antimatter gives a distinctive signature when it interacts with regular matter. Space is full of dust. If there was any bunch of antimatter, it would light up as it annihilated from the intergalactic dust. 2. Any mildly advanced(we're not) civilization would give off a distinct signature just from the amount of energy they would use. Simple thermodynamics dictates that any large consumption of energy should show up as strong infrared sources. Hiding this signature would be incredibly difficult and would require deliberate effort to mask their existence. Any civilization that would have access to this kind of energy would be able to fully populate an entire galaxy in short order. 3. The Dark Matter phenomenon is an objective measurement that cannot be explained. Dark Matter as a thing is anyone's guess. We're about as sure of Dark Matter existing as gravity existing. Neither can be properly explained. My analogy with gravity is more apt than you think. 4. Far away objects are moving away from us faster than light. This cannot happen because nothing can move through space faster than light. One of the few options remaining is that space itself is expanding.

The main problem with postulating antimatter galaxies or galaxy clusters is that 1. intergalactic space isn't empty, and 2. galaxies aren't fully self-contained. There is matter in intergalactic space, a thinly spread veil of hydrogen and other atoms. And if you had a galaxy made of antimatter, then it's antimatter will inevitably come into contact with the matter in intergalactic space, and the two will annihilate, producing gamma rays. And we would be able to detect this as a faint halo of gamma rays coming from the edges of every antimatter galaxy. Indeed, because of 2, it's even worse than that. Because the material inside galaxies doesn't necessarily stay inside galaxies. Galaxies are constantly ejecting bits of themselves out into intergalactic space, through quasar jets, supernovae explosions, or simple gravitational interactions ejecting asteroids, planets, or even full star systems. All of this material ends up in intergalactic space, to mingle with all the other material ejected by all the other galaxies. Antimatter galaxies would do exactly the same thing. Which means that, if antimatter and matter were equal in amount as theories predicted, then there should be equal numbers of antimatter galaxies spewing antimatter into intergalactic space as there are matter galaxies doing this, and there would therefore be equal amounts of antimatter and matter in intergalactic space. And this of course, means a continuous stream of antimatter-matter encounters with mutual annihilation, producing gamma rays, and we would observe all of intergalactic space positively glowing with a faint shimmer of gamma rays. Which of course, we do not. And even more spectacularly, galaxies and galaxy clusters sometimes merge. And if there were equal numbers of antimatter galaxies as there are matter galaxies in the universe, it should mean that half of all observed in-progress galaxy mergers would involve an antimatter galaxy merging with a matter one, with galactic levels of matter-antimatter annihilation events, and that should be one hell of a spectacular sight which would be utterly impossible for us to miss here on Earth. And we see nothing of the sort.

There is always the chances that even though the maths make sense. We figure out some day in that future that we were wrong and that we've based years of study on an incorrect understanding of the universe. Thats humbling thought.
Whether it is real or not the fact remains, we are missing something BIG! Like 90% of the mass of the universe. And our present calculations are so spot on that I tend to agree that there’s something out there that accounts for this missing mass. Whatever it is, it is very strange that we have yet to encounter any of it. It definitely boggles the mind that so much if the Universe we live in may be unrecognizable by us.
As per comment below I would say consciousness is "THE" mystery of the universe, we have absolutely no real understanding of what it is but without it we wouldn't even be able to ponder the riddles of the "physical" universe.

“Where are all the aliens?” The more we think about this the more I’m starting to guess that the universe is as difficult as it seems to travel and engineer in. It’s very difficult for humans to make rockets and get into space, and we are lucky we have the fuel to do so. But even with that, we’ve barely done anything that would be noticeable and we’re centuries away from traveling outside the solar system, and it may actually never happen. Traveling in space and sending signals outside of one’s own solar system I think are just incredibly rare and maybe borderline impossible. The physical laws are what they are and there might not be any loopholes.

Even so, it is somewhat disturbing that we have never seen any even moderately plausible evidence of technological activity from anywhere else, in this galaxy or any others (we have seen a few, very weak pieces of evidence that you could just stretch to accepting if you are willing to go down to "Ancient Aliens" evidentiary standards, but no credible scientist is). It may turn out that at least part of that is because we don't know what we should be looking for, and thus have not recognised evidence that we have seen, and/or that our instruments just aren't good enough yet, but really, neither of those should have been remotely possibly true for at least the last 20 years, minimum. On current evidence, only 2 conclusions are possible. Either we really are alone (as far as technologically advanced species go, at least), or we are the first, or very early at least, and will become the Ancient Aliens...

THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OF MATTER!?!?! WHY WASNT I TOLD ABOUT THIS!!! Lol . I was always wondering what all this stuff I keep touching everyday is.
The dual universe hypothesis is derived from trying to explain where all the anti-matter goes. All matter is created with its counterpart that within less than a nanosecond collides and annihilate each other. However, for one in a billion particles something interferes with this interaction. This small interference accounts for all the matter we see today. However, where did the other particle, it's opposite, go? Some suggest that if they are created near black holes, the gravitational pulls on one might be greater than the other, and thus the anti particle gets pulled into the black hole while the particle gets jetted out into space. That, though possible, doesn't help explain the early accounts of matter in the Universe. Thus the theory of a counter universe was considered, a universe that takes in all the other particles of anti-matter and thus is kind of like an opposite but similar universe to our own. Only thing is, there would be no way to tell wish of these two universes we actually existed in. So just be happy we exist at all.
The "Primordial Singularity" doesn't ever change, rather the "Big Bang" scenario is used backwards. Rather than "exploding" (sic) outwards, objects and time-scales internally "contract" within a "background of infinite cosmic potential". Contraction entails "rescaling", which in-turn explains virtually everything, including: red shift, time-frame dilation, "dark" matter & energy, or even favorable genome selection.
That was a really solid ad my guy
I suggest the reason we can't find much anti matter in our universe is bc it all exists in the version of our universe that moves in the opposite direction of time. It has been proposed that antimatter is matter that seemingly interacts with time and gravity in the opposite way matter does, so that could be an explanation
"How was that 5th cocktail? How was it??" Ah haha... called me out there.
That zbiotics ad actually sounded like it could be its own video lol
Based on what we do 'know" about dark matter, could it actually be just the place holder/stand in for whatever it really is? A guest star who really isn't what we think?
Our player hasn't bought the dark energy dlc yet, hopefully they buy the GOTY edition soon, so we can get on with proper science.
Dark matter flowing out onto a tape Is only as loud the silence it breaks Most things decay in a matter of days The product is sold, the memory fades
Where are all the aliens? Probably sensibly hiding in the dark forest...
With the Matter-Antimatter question, couldn't it just be that the universe is actually made of equal matter and antimatter but they are separated enough to just not interact with one another besides non-aligned particles like Light or other methods like Gravity

Nope. At the beginning of the universe, everything was infinitely small. Essentially everything was touching everything and matter and anti-matter annihilated in massive amounts. Unless there was some reason that anti-matter and matter weren’t spread out pretty evenly, this theory wouldn’t work
Two explanations for dark matter: 1) As our gravity is weak because it leaks into different dimensions, gravity from those different dimensions leaks into our realm. 2) Dark matter is from a different realm that shares only 1 or two of our spacial dimensions but not 3, therefore it can not interact with light.
Gives a whole new meaning when you call somebody a wimp 🤣🤷♀️
I like to think that both Matter and Anti matter have already met and been destroyed, we just have not "witnessed it yet" due to Our perception of Time during a chaotic event.. Much like the relative time dilation one experiences in a car crash. To the Observer out side, It is only an instant, but, for the Occupant observer as the information load increases the perception adjusts to fit .., "It happened as if everything was In Slow motion yet I know it was over in an instant". Thusly, Our experiences are simply a reverberating reflection of an experience long ago unfolded as we were instantaneously snapped into and out of existence. And So, the cycle continues..XP
When all factors are taken into account for what makes earth special, the odds against another are greater than all the stars in the observable universe. Not only is a life-bearing world a freak of nature, but intelligent life itself is also a freak occurrence of that freak chance for life at all.
I wish zbiotics was around when I was a drinker. For 20 years I tried to empty all the bars in all the world. Being only successful at emptying my life of any meaning or purpose I gave up the attempt at age 35; however, there were uncountable "morning after" episodes during which I probably would have drunk Drano if someone told me it would help. Now, at age 70 I can only be envious of you youngsters who theoretically have a chance to escape the tyranny of excess.
Simon on sideprojects: where are all the aliens? Simon on decoding the unknown: ALIENS ARN'T REAL!

I'd say on Decoding the Unknown, he's more saying that aliens haven't landed on our planet - not that they don't exist.
I'm convinced that dark matter and energy are "subspace" like in star trek. And like in ST subspace is a invisible layer or dimension of real space. Now all we just need to do is figure out how to detect and interact with subspace.

Dark matter and dark energy are totally different things that have nothing to do with another besides the word "dark". In QFT there is a quantum field for each particle. Some quantum fields couple to others, which means they can interact. If a quantum field does not couple with the photon field, you can't see those particles. If it does not couple to any field (not even itself), then you have dark matter. Might be one field and hence type of particle, or multiple ones. We only know that they interact with nothing but gravity. Dark energy however is just a number in an equation, kinda like negative pressure.
Simon: "Where are the aliens?" But also Simon: "It's not aliens." Are we still using whole number math to explain the universe? Whole number math is math used to count the number of apples you have. Why would gravity use the same math?
Dark Energy is the spontaneous creation of spacetime. Its very unlikely, but in the vastness of space it happens as a result of space being greater than odds. The result is more space, which increases the odds that space will manifest thus increasing further. It becomes exponential at that point. it isn't severe because it is such a rare occurrence.
How many channels do you present
Idk for sure, but I've heard that the LHC has just about completely ruled out supersymmetry as a viable candidate for bringing the Standard Model closer to completely explaining the current universe.

No, it hasn't. The problem is, it's already hypothesized by many, before the LHC was even built, that the super symmetric particles take more energy to make, than the LHC has. And regardless of the name, the LHC is a puny little thing. A physicist said the energy at the LHC was the equivalent of 2 mosquitoes flying into each other at full speed. Of course that's the energy of a mosquito in a single subatomic particle. Spunds impressive, but the fact is we've detected individual subatomic particles from space with the energy of a decent sized rock you picked up and threw. So not finding them, if they're real, isn't a shocker.
What if Darkmatter is like the land below the sea level and spacetime is the sea?
The real question is that we can't see dark matter but can it see us?..
The fact that we can’t see , what makes up 95% of what makes up the universe. Means we aren’t looking the right way .
Two questions: What existed before the big bang? What caused the “rules of physics” to come into existence?

Faynman: Do you understand Quantum Theory? Me: Probably. Faynman: I see what you did there. Me: Is that measurable?
I wonder if dark matter is "invisible", where you can't see it itself, but you can see how it bends light. Case in point, the James Webb telescope image, where dozens of the visible galaxies are basically warping to a curve, as in linear.
I imagine that a thousand years from now, physicists will look back at the theories of their predecessors and have a good laugh.
From ZBody relating to the FDA's opinion on their product. "...FDA-compliant for safety means that we’ve satisfied all regulatory requirements to ensure ZBiotics is safe and can be legally sold in the United States. That means that all our manufacturing is conducted in an FDA-registered food-grade facility according to Good Manufacturing Practices compliant with 21 CFR 117. It also means that our novel ZB183 ingredient has been extensively tested and is generally recognized, among qualified experts, as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use."
I used to believe in the mediocrity principle, but lately I’ve come around to the rare earth hypothesis. Sure, if life is exceedingly rare, what are the chances that it would be us out of the entire universe that falls into that category? Pretty low. But imagine if life is so exceedingly rare that only one planet ever supports it. Then the chance of it being us are 100%, since earth does support life

Can't help but wonder if the Two-Universe Theory, in which the big bang generates a universe where time flows forwards (ours) and one where time flows backwards simultaneously, could explain the matter-antimatter discrepancy as well. Kind of like Hawking Radiation, the events of the big bang could have just pushed these two populations beyond one another's horizon faster than they could interact. So it would *look like* the big bang radiated a ton of matter and energy into the universe, but it really just dumped all the antimater and negative energy over the other horizon. And *then* I imagine the geometry of that and I can imagine connecting the terminal ends of those two universes together through a 5th dimension to create a proper cycle. Matter and Antimatter and Energy and Negative Energy would all meet again at "the end of time" and boom, the donut flips upside down and the end is now the beginning, and everything flips "sides". The next matter based universe would come out of the "other side" of this fifth dimensional donut.
