New tools always gives us a fresh look. Look at how neural networks sped up interpretation of the data we had for decades. That blackhole picture we took came from collaboration between labs around the planet allowing us to use the size of the Earth as an instrument. Quantum physics that led to really high definition T.V.s also lead to us understanding how to communicate better in space, calculate travelling salesman problem much faster, get to look for Higgs and find it and so on. As long as our understanding improves so will our interpretation of current data I suppose. But it is likely that we will find ourselves having to have to recreate rare events closer to home as we slow down in that progress. Edited to add: I say this because some basic things like the periodic table or the Standard Model really seems to be it for the foreseeable future. There are possible game changers out there but more on the disproving side. A weird one is the Kastler Brossel labs result vs. the Berkeley result for measuring the g-2 factor for ruling out non-observed phenomenon thus far. It's odd when only like 3 people can carry out an experiment and they disagree but certainly interesting to see. Afterall there are candidates for dark matter like the weakly interacting massive particles but none globally accepted. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on, though I'm really expecting more from anti-matter experiments.

I loved this episode!!! So beautiful and eloquently explained to someone familiar with some of the concepts here (space-time diagram for example) but then going further and expanding on those concepts to explore some of the largest meta-questions in cosmology; How much of the Universe will we ever see? When will the Universe past the Local Group start to recede away? and many other questions on the same topic. So excited to watch the next episode of Space Time!

Beautiful video Matt; in my opinion one of the best of your great channel. I had to watch it twice.

06:36 - I think you're right when saying DE "took over" at a certain point, billions of years ago. I think it likely started right at the beginning, but its effects only started to 'dominate' later on. If it didn't exist at the beginning, the Universe would've collapsed back in on itself and we wouldn't be here. You can see how the rate of change of the curve starts from right at the beginning - Dark Energy (expansion) must've therefore been having an effect, albeit a weaker effect earlier on. My hypothesis is that spacetime (whatever it's made out of) is a substance, and that substance is entering our universe at all locations simultaneously. The more spacetime we have in our universe, the more "space" and "time" there is for new spacetime to enter from outside, so it gradually accelerates in expansion. Probably wrong, though! Just some thoughts about the multidimensional realm in which we exist. I'd love to see someone with expertise to try to figure out my hypothesis on a mathematical level, though. Perhaps someone already has. I mean, every other idea I've had, I've found out some great mind had the idea decades/centuries ago! Ideas are timeless.

Especially the non-conformal chart showing how in the early universe, the things beyond the hubble horizon, has space expanding much faster than the speed of light despite the small size of the universe, then slowing down, and speeding up. It really made it click why we can see the cmb 14 billion light years in every direction. And yet, at the time the cmb occupied a small space(relative to the current hubble horizon).

The animation makes it so much easier to grasp the concepts and ideas! Thank you!!!

The interaction of light with fermions is quantized... photons are a useful mathematical abstraction for calculating the interaction, but photons are not actually a "thing" that exists. It's just a way to talk about a very small part of the continuous electromagnetic field.

While watching this video, I realized that space and time really are the same thing. When we look into the sky, we are looking into the past just as much, if not more than, we are looking at a far-off object. It just never truly occured to me that at night we are looking into the distant past I knew the light we were seeing was old but it still felt like I was looking at an object that was far away. But that's actually a weird way to think about light that is depicting phenomena that may not even exist anymore, especially as the space continuously changes. I was just so used to "oh, the far off stars! Maybe someday we will explore them, like distant mountains!" But no, they are so unfathomably far away that we cannot experience them as we are now. And it seemed like the past was just a concept, an artifact of memory, and the only thing that really existed was the present. But my whole life I could physically look into the past from the light of other stars as soon as my planet shielded the light of the star nearby. Every dozen hours we have the chance to look into far distant times. Wild.

I’m reminded of a well written video about the simultaneous agoraphobia of just how kind bogglingly big the universe is and the claustrophobia of not being able to explore all of it and being trapped by the speed of light. It also talked about the paper clip maximizer game.

As the ant walks to other side, though, the ratio of rubber band in front compared to behind is always decreasing (even though the length of the rubber band keeps increasing, and increasing much faster than the ant can walk). But because this ratio will eventually go to zero, that means the ant must eventually reach the other side.

The Milky Way moves away from the photon at first, but starts moving back towards the photon after the pause at the 2X sphere. I know you care about accurate representation! For next week’s video, I would like to see this video redone without the pause and nail the expansion accurately. Also please be consistent with the photon being represented at the center of the wave packet. Then show a split screen, top, middle and bottom, where in each, the Milky Way is held in place, the photon is held in place, and the original galaxy is held in place, respectively. Thanks!

General relativity and quantum mechanics will never be combined until we realize that they take place at different moments in time. Because causality has a speed limit (c) every point in space where you observe it from will be the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles (GR). When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment (QM). The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is making measurements in the predictable past. QM is trying to make measurements of the probabilistic future.

Fantastic episode, your diagrams and instruction really helped we non Astro PhD types. Thank You !

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” - Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

what's so funny is that what sounds like one of those hackneyed hyperboles is in fact a dramatic understatement it is a little bit like that comedy staple where poor white trash imagines fabulous wealth as owning 10 trailers

Loved the animation as well. As for your question about our limits…how much does it matter? Old light from a young universe? Well put.

Love it that you also use These cool tranforming graphics on this topic, not seen like this before 😎

Thanks! I was just trying to calculate this exact thing a few weeks ago... and came to the conclusion that I didn't know enough about it to produce an answer. I'm honestly shocked that the cosmological event horizon is so much smaller than I expected... only ~1.5 times the current observable radius, and only 10 billion years away!

Loved This Video! Can’t wait for the next one on this topic

Thanx to Dr. Dowd for these videos... I know they are difficult to put together but they are excellent!

This is really well put together.

Imagine this scenerio: Our alien neighbors decided to show us their maps of space. They all started coming towards us at 13.7 billion years ago, moved just below the speed of light and they arrived now. They came from all directions and they shared with us everything they saw along the way. Do we now have a map larger than what we would have had without them? And does the answer change if if they also had their own alien neighbors arriving towards them just below the speed of light at every step of their journey towards us?

My guess is that only works if the aliens travel faster than light. Otherwise, whatever light they saw would already be on its way to us and traveling faster than the alien ships.

@@quillaja if signals travel faster than light, answers could precede questions. this is the strongest reason to believe that you can't beat c, at least not in an informationally useful way (that is, any FTL would have to be "scrambling" in some way or form)

Amazing video! I have been pondering how we can know the age of the universe if we cannot see beyond the Hubble Horizon. We don't know what's beyond it today, but at the beginning of the universe, everything was within it. It makes sense now. Thank you!!!

Matt always finds a creative & unique phrase to end each video with “Space Time” ☺️👍

Hey @pbsspacetime I have a point that you could maybe address in next episode (if its not already in post production). If the big bang was a point in space & time, how could the particle horizon be a shell around us? Shouldn't it be a half shell? Thank you SO MUCH for this episode. I feel that as a interested person in astronomy I kind of grasp most of the concepts, but the question answered in this episode was boggling my mind for months, maybe years. I couldn't even formulate the question this eloquently and even more know who to ask. But this episode, the next and with the answer of the question above, I feel that I will be fully aware of the space and time. Thank you so much again for addressing this riddle of space and time! Thank you Brillant for sponsoring such a great work.

You made me smile with your starting quote and then I sighed a bit with sadness. I miss Douglas Adams.

42 = F.I.S.H. ( F = 6 ; I = 9 ; S = 19 ; H = 8 ). 6 + 9 + 19 + 8 = 42. Belief in the evolution of man from fish. 😉

Amazing episode, it is as much beautiful as it is soul-crushing x-x

2:24 This question itself and the answer is the best thing for me in this video, I'm so happy I found you :D

I can't say I understood everything said in this video but it was fascinating all the same!! I hope that one day,when my mind has expanded along with my consciousness, I'll be able to intuitively comprehend every aspect of the world around me.

THIS clearly reflects that the mind does not produce consciousness on its own. It is an evolution with the environment.

Outstanding job, as usual. Many thanks
