Check out Inside Animal Hearts and Minds: Bears That Count, Goats That Surf, and Other True Stories of Animal Intelligence and Emotion-- Book by Belinda Recio ..it has some remarkable stories all sourced to actual published research papers listed in back of book or from the scientists themselves. I hate to give away one of the more powerful examples shared but ... It concerns an orangutan who had been taught and who knew sign language and was able to make basic statements& ask simple questions. True story.. One evening the orangutan was outside with their scientist care taker and got the care taker's attention and then pointed to the Moon and then used sign language to ask:"What is that?" Poignant for several reasons not just animal intelligence but also like a time machine or window to what early humans and hominids having those or similar early questions... is almost proto science by nonhumans too..

No, he did mean to say that. Listen for like 30 more seconds. He's saying that, from your point of view the earth's curvature is relatively small, and so for measurements at that scale it wouldn't really matter if the earth was flat or round. You don't count the Earth's curvature into the equation, when you're using a tape measure to see if your new couch is going to fit in your living room.

Seems a spurious question considering the Universe can't even be scientifically defined.

Q if you removed the expansion of the universe and substituted the universe is it a flat, saddle, or spiracle? either as part of the redshift or intensity what would that show ChatGPT If you were to remove the expansion of the universe and consider a non-expanding universe, you would be working with a simplified model that doesn't represent the real universe as we observe it. In such a simplified, non-expanding universe, the concept of curvature (whether it's flat, saddle, or spherical) becomes more straightforward and can be determined based on the geometry of space. Here's how you would determine the curvature: Flat Universe: In a flat universe, the geometry of space is Euclidean, which means that parallel lines remain parallel, and the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Light rays travel in straight lines. In this case, if you look at a very distant light source, you would not observe significant distortions in the intensity of light or the redshift due to curvature. Saddle Universe (Hyperbolic): In a negatively curved universe (saddle-shaped or hyperbolic), the geometry is non-Euclidean. Light rays would travel along curved paths, causing the intensity of light from a distant source to exhibit observable distortions, and the redshift of light would also be affected by the curvature. Spherical Universe: In a positively curved universe (spherical), the geometry is also non-Euclidean. Light rays would travel along curved paths, but in this case, they would converge, causing the intensity of light from a distant source to exhibit observable distortions, and the redshift of light would also be affected by the curvature. In a non-expanding universe, the determination of curvature would primarily depend on the properties of space itself and the geometry of light rays, as opposed to the combined effects of cosmic expansion and curvature in the real, expanding universe. However, it's important to emphasize that the real universe is observed to be expanding, and the observations we make are consistent with a nearly flat geometry on large scales. The concept of cosmic expansion is a fundamental aspect of modern cosmology and is supported by a wide range of observational evidence. In the context of our observed universe, the concept of curvature is intertwined with cosmic expansion and cannot be separated from it.

Regardless, wherever you go in space, there you'll be.

Did your son write this? Careful not to say dad!

I might have missed it but do the small variations on temperature of the universe take into account the high temps of stars?

Brilliant video…well done by excellent presenter !

This channel is so freaking awesome 😂😍😍, best physics Prof.

I enjoyed this, learned something, thank you.

5:48 What I don't understand is how does one measure the temperature of space? I imagine that there was far more material dispersed throughout space, so one measures the temperature of that material, right? So it's not the temperature of space but little bits of stuff we're calling material. What am I missing? And how can one measure empty space. There's no material there to register a temperature, no?

Thank you sir!

Don Lincoln knows how to explain the complicated in simple and visual terms. He's brilliant and I love his videos.

I was looking over the calculations on the chalkboard behind you and it appears you forgot to carry over the 1.

I think that you may be correct but if you divide 1 by X-bxy the correct answer is reached ,ie the thinking explained in this video is entirely mind boggling and apart from speculating until new science is developed we can only ponder the inponderable!!

Many thanks, great joy to watch your videos.

Excellent presentation!!!

I just wanna say that I really love this channel. It is almost singlehandedly responsible for making me seriously consider going into physics rather than chemistry. I watch a fair bit of educational youtube and relatively few channels can make a subject sound so fascinating to make me think I’d enjoy seriously pursuing them and yet not so daunting that I think I’m not smart enough to. 3blue1brown does that for maths, NileRed does that for (applied) chemistry, and Don Lincoln and the writers behind the scenes do that for physics. If I end up one day pursuing a career in physics, I’ll cite this channel (both the answers it gave me to questions I had always had and the new questions it gave me after that) as pivotal in that decision.

@@Aaron-Fife still on track for chemistry right now, kinda eying analytical chemistry. Although a KZreadr called AlphaPhoenix makes me think maybe materials science would be the cooler field. And I’ve yet to meet a math course I haven’t absolutely loved, so I do still think about math. What kept me from math so far has been that real math is problem solving, but all I’ve done up til now is learn formulas and stuff, so I have no idea if I’d actually be good at real math. The other day, though, I solved a problem of my own invention all on my own using calculus, and that felt absolutely amazing. Gonna finish my associates of science in chemistry for now, and I guess I still have some choosing to do once I get to a four year school

Mind blowing that an actual calculation can be made - but what is on the other side of the edge?

"How far is the edge of the universe?" My grandfather told me that when he was in school, the Milky Way (100,000 light year diameter) was the universe with some fuzzy spots (nebulae) located in it. Now, some folks who claim to know such things say it is larger.

Great detail and explanation. Thank you

I finally understand. Well explained Don.

So then, for all practical purposes, THE EARTH IS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE and there MIGHT be no edge beyond what we can see.

excellent and accessible presentation.

This was the best explanation of the cosmic microwave background. I think I finally understand it. Might have to watch it a few more times though :)

Its not actually very hard to understand, to put it as simple as possible, its residue of "cosmic explosion" but the thing that im not sure is how they(people who made instruments) knew that what they see is measure of microwave from "big bang" and not some "other" cosmic event that instruments measured.

@@robpagan1 Either an empty vacant lot not yet filled with matter or a very puzzling "non-existence", as space itself is being stretched along with the expansion of matter and energy (as a side note, space itself -or rather spacetime as we would be more correct in calling it- is pretty interesting even if void of usual matter and energy, as it is still home to quantum fluctuations that can generate particles from nothing. That is a concept I still have to deeply understand and wrap my mind around). The Universe thus would be a growing bubble of sorts, not necessarily round per se but an enclosed space; all of this geometry mentioned here and in the video happening at more dimensions than we as humans can visualize (and the number of which is still being debated by scientists). This whole universal system is possibly happening in a several-dimensional "sea" of Universes (in which Universes "happen": are born, grow and end -maybe interact?- in a realm where time as we know it either doesn't exist at all or exists interacting with any number of yet unknown forces and energies through these additional dimensions in ways that we can't possibly conceive any time soon). The Existence is awesome!
