    Fascinating presentation. My personal take is that the sphere is the most plausible shape of the universe, and that there is a massive proportion not detectable. The universe is likened to earth in that matter migrates like tectonic plates across the medium, even ending (or beginning) by colliding in unimaginable explosions on the other side of this universal sphere. I imagined the image of galaxies at the distant limits were like the sun setting or rising and an optical illusion produces a larger object. Could these galaxies be disappearing over the horizon of a spherical universe giving the same impression? At first it seems the universe is flat due to the incredible distances involved. Maybe we haven't even seen the half of creation.

    That was a roller coaster. As I‘m watching quite a lot of physics and cosmology channels, there were quite a few things that I never heard of, e.g. that the Great Attractor is directly opposite our massive black hole and could be the center of the big crunch, if any. Very interesting. Would this be compatible with the cycling universe (CCC)?

  • @aaronperelmuter8433

    @aaronperelmuter8433

    7 ай бұрын

    It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with CCC, conformal cyclic cosmology, and CCC has absolutely nothing to do with the Big Crunch. The whole point of CCC is that it’s conformal, hence there is no crunch or compression phase, going from one universe/aeon to the next is just a conformal transform, no compactification or crunch necessary. That’s not to say it isn’t a wildly speculative, and wildly lacking in ANY kind of evidence for its existence. If just about anyone other than Penrose had come up with it, I’m pretty sure no one would ever have given it the time of day, it’d be shut down the first time someone read it. Regarding the Great Attractor, it isn’t directly opposite Sag A*, our smbh. It’s completely obscured from view by the main disc and bulge of the milky way, that’s all. Moreover, it too, has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything at all regarding the big crunch. Simon has NO clue what he’s talking about! If the crunch was ever to occur, by definition, just as happens in a bh, everything gets compressed towards a single point, it isn’t possible that any matter of any definition could possibly, somehow, magically miss out on the compression which is affecting literally the ENTIRE UNIVERSE except for some random bits which just happen to hold off the force of the entire universe collapsing in on itself. Like, sure, that sound realistic, right? Like I said, Simon has no idea WTF he’s even talking about. It’s SO far from being even a fringe theory it’s laughable he even mentioned it. Anyway, the Great Attractor has been known about for around 40kph years, I think, and there’s nothing mysterious about it, nothing strange or any kind of unknown physics. A woman almost got a Nobel prize a few years ago for her research into the Great Attractor, and trust me, they do NOT award Nobel prizes for anything remotely up in the air or unproven. That’s exactly why people don’t receive their prizes until 20 or so years after their discovery/work/etc, to be (reasonably) sure that the physics is on solid ground.

    Personally, I think the Fuzzball concept of Black Holes makes more sense. To me, at least. Instead of being a hole at all, it’s a place in spacetime like the holographic universe you explained, the outer area of the sphere is the only part that matters, there is no other side or inside. It’s densely packed quantum foam made of spacetime effectively having its information (e.g; it’s energy) siphoned off back into our universe, which we can see in Hawking Radiation. That’s a massive simplification, but maybe it’s another side project video?

    To me, the coolest thing about the universe is that it seems we know everything and absolutely nothing about it - at the same time. Take SMBHs possibly being older than the big bang due to a "cyclic" universe expanding and then contracting. As of now, no one can say for sure if that is even possible given theories like the big RIP. Dark energy overtook the force of gravity millions of years ago as the strongest spacial influence in the universe kinda eliminating the potential of the big CRUNCH due to expansion (ie, the universe is ~14.5B years old but its diameter is ~90B light years). Everything and nothing at the same time. Fascinating, Captain. Cheers....

I would like to directly thank you for the immense fun your writing has brought. Your writing is so on point that I have had some friends rewatch videos they saw months earlier at a separate gathering get excited and help drive the interest, and they still don't get the stories correctly the second time because of your bravado and skill interweaving crazy real stories with similarly crazy fiction (with amazing nerd references) 🖤 As a viewer, I do what I can to appease the youtube algorithm gods, likes, comments, and even frequent shares. With all that, though, I know my overall impact is diminutive at best. Alas, it is the only means at which I can consistently show my appreciation for the works that you present us. So, in this random chance moment that I feel I have been placed in, I would like to thank you personally for the many happy and literally cherished memories I have that would not have taken place without your influence.

    Afaik, the first hypothesis presented is related to Conformal Cyclic Cosmology a hypothesis presented by Roger Penrose. According to Penrose you should he able to see evidence of the "previous universe" through the detection of Hawking points in the CMB. Those points would be afterglow left by the evaporation of said black holes. Nothing he says would indicate the survival of a black hole through the aeon. In fact it would be impossible according to his hypothesis because for CCC to work there must be 0 mass left in the entire universe in order for the rescaling to occur

    Short answer, no. Long answer, black holes eventually evaporate via hawking radiation, no matter how big they are. But this isn’t what a whit whole would be, a white hole would be a raging waterfall more or less. If you kept adding matter to a black hole it would increase its mass and thus is gravity would make it last longer.

    Expanding on the previous reply, as far as we can tell, there isn't really a "maximum" amount of matter and/or energy that a black hole could take in. Everything that falls into a black hole simply becomes more black hole, its mass/energy adding to the black hole's mass. Just speculating, but I thinknif a black hole were to have a maximum intake, it would probably be equivalent to or just slightly less than it's own mass, yet even then you'd end up with a collision instead of "absorbtion," and the end result would be a doubly massive black hole.

    I've often pondered about this. Given that spacetime is so heavily warped, that other universe would essentially be at the end of our time. If you subscribe to the idea of the big crunch, that universe on the other side of the black hole essentially would contain all the matter of our entire universe. This fits in with the cyclical theories pretty neatly, although it would mean that black holes if ever traversable, would be one way tickets to a new universe paid for by the end of the universe you were leaving. I'd much rather have them be a way to travel between galaxies considering the are the center of them.

    Soo do you think white holes could possible be or appear to be stars that have regular novas I’m unsure what the name is now as it eludes me (recurrent novas maybe?) Maybe those novas are explosions of matter being ejected from a white hole that is either at the centre of the star or just is the star. I mean I don’t know what a white hole would look like but I would suppose it’s the opposite of a black hole so would potentially look like a star of some sort and when matter is ejected it would potentially appear like a star that has recurrent novas every however often.( our own sun/star apparently does this and has recurrent novas every how ever many millions of years). I don’t think it’s 100% proven but I think there was some evidence to suggest our sun does do this and was a theorised to potentially explain some of the extinction events and other events possibly caused by the sun having recurrent novas.

So we can say that if we are in a black hole, dark energy is the pulling of the previous univers.

    So a thought just occurred to me. If we were anywhere close to the universal center (close being entirely relative given the incredible distances we are looking at) if the Big Crunch were to start, and it were to happen at the speed of light, would we even be able to tell in our lifetimes? If I understand this at all, the absolute farthest galaxies we see are red shifted, meaning they move away from us. They also say that the universe is spreading faster than light at those extreme distances. How long before the red shift goes away, or would the very fact that the universe has started to crunch effect the light coming to us and render it to the blue shift end of the spectrum? Or would the Big Crunch be more like popping a bubble, or is that the Big Rip theory?

Anything infinitely dense would have infinite gravity, and this would be infinite at any distance. If you think otherwise, you do not understand infinity. It is more accurate when dealing with real objects of this nature to say that using the standard model, or anything by Einstein, we do not have the mathematics to explain what happens beyond the event horizon of a black hole, because when we plug the numbers into the best equations we have, we get infinities. That is a completely different thing from the reality being an infinitely dense object.

Of course this would require the actual space the matter is in to also not be dragged in to the crunch. Science, questions, question, questions...

    I like the idea that a black hole is not a singularly, but rather one gigantic star with matter so compressed that the mass multiples the gravitational effects of the area. That once you pass through the event horizon you actually just get slammed against a trillion degree wall of burning compress matter. A neutron star is basically just super condensed iron to the point its basically one gigantic atom. When 2 neutron stars merge they form a black hole, So the masses of the 2 neutron stars just moerge into one bigger ball if super compressed matter that they now have the combined mass to pull in everything in including light.

    That’s SO wrong, on many levels. 🤥For a start, neutron stars have NOTHING whatsoever to do with being “super condensed iron to the point it’s basically one big atom”. 😱They are NOT made from iron, nor does an iron core necessarily have to be present in the progenitor star to create a neutron star. 🤔Moreover, a neutron star, quite surprisingly, is like one big neutron, NOT one big atom. 😱Thought that would be obvious, from the name? 🤨Furthermore, 2 neutron stars can collide and form a larger neutron star, there is nothing that states all neutron star collisions will create a bh, that, again, is absolutely wrong. 🤥 Regarding your imaginary bh, how does compressing matter magically produce extra amounts of gravity? 🤔That makes no sense and there’s no physical process by which this could occur. 🤪And if said matter was so compressed, how could it possibly be at such a high temperature if it’s in such a tiny volume? 😂If the matter is all in such a small volume, and, somehow, behind an eh, how does it keep such high temperatures within its centre? Again, what you’re saying is completely non-sensical and isn’t logically consistent. It’s devoid of rational processes and ideas. 😂🤪🤪

    If the universe started out as one big chunk of matter, isn't that by definition the biggest black hole that could ever exist? And it couldn't stay that way forever, so it went blewie, and spread out in all directions. While it could have broken down to atoms with the atomic number of 1 (I can never keep hydrogen and helium straight), there also could have been chunks of substantial size. And those chunks attracted much of the rest of the debris, and that's why galaxies were formed.
