The big bang in essense is a beginning, the fact we cannot comprehend an age does not mean there is no beginning, or multiple beginnings. We simply cannot understand it, yet. The fact the big bang theory is almost 100 years old and it's not uncommon in the science field to provide evidence that some theories are incorrect, I wouldn't be surprised if one day it would be discovered that big bangs are part of a cycle or special events. Perhaps it's a super massive Black Hole exploding which causes this or someone pushing the reset button on the other side of the matrix. I hope we find more answers in our lifetime.

Though you might have the cooling down and life forming timeline wrong, I also saw the age of the earth and found it completely unfathomable that the universe was only 13.8 billion years. There had to be generations of star formation and destruction to create the heavy elements that formed the earth, and the galaxies would take orders of magnitudes longer to form and mature. 13.8 billion is far too short of a time to account for all the galaxies we can see and project. So is only 26.7 billion. The universe is older than we can imagine.

What difference does it make whether the universe is 13.8 or 26.7 billion years old for the 8 billion inhabitants of the planet? For living beings that’s simply eternity. The latest fashion outcry of the so called “science” is that the “ESTIMATED(!) diameter of the OBSERVABLE(!) universe has an extension of 93 billion light years. That represents a distance of 8.79 septillion kilometers or 5.46 septillion miles. Don’t you believe it? Do the math yourself. Hint: One light year is the distance covered by light in one year at almost 300,000 kilometers each single second or 186,000 miles/second, then multiply it by 93 billions. Footnote: 5.46 septillion miles or 8.79 septillion kilometers is “ONLY” the diameter of the “OBSERVABLE” universe.

Such a fascinating subject. And when you study astronomy and cosmology, to steal a quote from Carl Sagan "It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known'. I also find it immensely satisfying when Brian Cox says 'Stuff' 😆

The fact is we don't know but trying to get answers is how we move forward

In 10 years they will discover the universe is actually 52 billion years old. 20 years later, they will discover that is actually 104 billion years old. 30 years later, you get the point- it’s bigger and older than we can fathom…

What always bothered me about putting an age on the universe, if time slows down under intense gravity and the big bang was a singularity, with essentially infinitely intense gravity, doesn't that mean that time itself can approach but never reach the beginning? When we say it's 13.8 billion years, isn't that measured according to the current rate that time flows? If we measure time that actually passed for the Universe from its own frame of reference, doesn't that *have to* be infinite by definition of a singularity?

@normanstewart7130

I don't think anyone believes there's a real singularity; most physicists would say that's physically impossible. The problem is that, in order to calculate the behaviour of matter and spacetime in the very early Universe, we need a quantum theory of gravity, but we don't have such a thing. All we have is General Relativity, which predicts a singularity, but we know that General Relativity is incomplete (it can't handle quantum effects) so we're stuck.

It's just Zeno's paradox at a cosmic scale. The centres of black holes have the same issue, and a there's similar division by zero problem as matter approaches the speed of light. On the quantum theory of gravity, I think if it were going to be found it would have been found by now, most likely the answer will come from something else entirely, probably something that brings dark matter and dark energy into account, and brings as much of a leap in our understanding as relativity did to Newtonian physics.

@@niblick666sure, I figured Zeno's was more understandable and the analogy doesn't hold up under close scrutiny, but I'm talking about distortion of time itself. There's an argument against the existence of pure singularities at the centre of black holes that works on the same premise, the deeper that mass is down the gravity well, the slower time passes for that mass, so infinite time would pass outside the blackhole for mass to reach the exact centre and form a pure singularity inside it. I'm just speculating that there are similar conditions of extreme density at the beginning, the big bang looks to us like it happened 13.8 billion years ago, but do they arrive at that figure by measuring in years as they pass for us, after inflation, or do they actually scale what years mean and treat them as they would pass for a universe of increasing density as it goes back through the inflationary period? I'm guessing the Universe is likely both 13.8bn years old and infinitely old, depending on how you measure it.

I have questioned the "formula" about the age of Universe's calculation since I heard/read about it first. My simple question was/still is, what if we are located in a corner of the Universe and the age of the Universe as we calculate based on the light simply is wrong because light farther than the distance we calculate hasn't reached to us and may never will since Universe is expanding as well. We just can't "see" (calculate) further than that tiny little corner of the Universe we are located in and it's far far bigger.

A trillion 1 mm grains of sand is a cube 10 meters on a side. Volumes are handy for getting a handle on middlingly large quantities like trillions.

The "tired light" theory requires the equations to be for a static universe. Since we know that not to be the case, I'm not sure how we can keep repeating this as a possibility...

If the coupling constants and the speed of light had changed over time there is no reason why they should have changed uniformly. In the beginning the rate of the inflation took care of uniformity, but after that, unless these changes were controlled by some non-changing hidden variables or underlying principles, these values would have changed randomly all over the universe.

Reposting and slight editing of recent mathematical ideas into one post: Split-complex numbers relate to the diagonality (like how it's expressed on Anakin's lightsaber) of ring/cylindrical singularities and to why the 6 corner/cusp singularities in dark matter must alternate. The so-called triplex numbers deal with how energy is transferred between particles and bodies and how an increase in energy also increases the apparent mass. Dual numbers relate to Euler's Identity, where the thin mass is cancelling most of the attractive and repulsive forces. The imaginary number is mass in stable particles of any conformation. In Big Bounce physics, dual numbers relate to how the attractive and repulsive forces work together to turn the matter that we normally think of into dark matter. The natural logarithm of the imaginary number is pi divided by 2 radians times i. This means that, at whatever point of stable matter other than at a singularity, the attractive or repulsive force being emitted is perpendicular to the "plane" of mass. In Big Bounce physics, this corresponds to how particles "crystalize" into stacks where a central particle is greatly pressured to break/degenerate by another particle that is in front, another behind, another to the left, another to the right, another on top, and another below. Dark matter is formed quickly afterwards. Mediants are important to understanding the Big Crunch side of a Big Bounce event. Matter has locked up, with particles surrounding and pressuring each other. The matter gets broken up into fractions of what it was and then gets added together to form the dark matter known from our Inflationary Epoch. Sectrices are inversely related, as they deal with all stable conformations of matter being broken up, not added like the implosive "shrapnel" of mediants. Ford circles relate to mediants. Tangential circles, tethered to a line. Sectrices: the families of curves deal with black holes. (The Fibonacci spiral deals with how dark matter is degenerated/broken up and with supernovae. The Golden spiral deals with how the normal matter, that we usually think of, degenerates, forming black holes.) The Archimedean spiral deals with dark matter spinning too fast and breaking into primordial black holes, smaller dark matter, and regular matter. The Dinostratus quadratrix deals with the laminar flow of dark matter being broken up by lingering black holes. Delanges sectrices (family of curves): black holes have locked up during a Big Crunch and break each other up. Ceva sectrices (family of curves): spun up dark matter breaks into primordial black holes and smaller, galactic-sized dark matter and other, typically thought of matter. Maclaurin sectrices (family of curves): older, lingering black holes, late to the party, impact and break up dark matter into galaxies. Dark matter, on the stellar scale, are broken up by supernovae. Our solar system was seeded with the heavier elements from a supernova. I'm happily surprised to figure out sectrices. Trisectrices are another thing. More complex and I don't know if I have all the curves available to use in analyzing them. But, I can see Fibonacci and Golden spirals relating to the trisectrices. The Clausen function of order 2: dark matter flakes off, impacting the Big Bang mass directly and shocking the opposite side, somewhat like concussions happen. While a spin on that central mass is exerted, all the spins from all the flaking dark matter largely cancel out. I suspect that primordial black holes are formed by this, as well. Those black holes and older black holes, that came late to the Big Bounce, work together to break up dark matter. Belows method (similar to Sylvester's Link Fan) relates to Big Crunch breaking of black holes and for how dark matter uses its repulsive area to unstack, to flake off. Repetitious bisection relates to dark matter spinning so violently that it breaks, leaving smaller dark matter, primordial black holes, and other matter. Neusis construction relates to how dark matter is broken up near one of its singularities by an older black hole and to how black holes have their singularites sheared off during a Big Crunch. General relativity: 8 shapes, as dictated by the equation? 4 general shapes, but with a variation of membranous or a filament? Dark matter mostly flat, with its 6 alternating corner/cusp edge singularities. Neutrons like if a balloon had two ends, for blowing it up. Protons with aligned singularities, and electrons with just a lone cylindrical singularity? Prime numbers in polar coordinates: note the missing arms and the missing radials. Matter spiraling in, degenerating? Matter radiating out - the laminar flow of dark matter in an Inflationary Epoch? Connection to Big Bounce theory? "Operation -- Annihilate!", from the first season of the original Star Trek: was that all about dark matter and the cosmic microwave background radiation? Anakin Skywalker connection?

@kevinsayes

There are some theories, I think some tangentially tied to the paper this video is about, about the speed of light being variable in the early universe, which, depending on how that’s interpreted, could be argued as time moving slower. But, I wouldn’t say time is frozen in a black hole. To an outside observer, anything falling in would appear to “freeze” in place at the event horizon for a very, very long time, but to an observer falling in, you could actually look back and see the actual entire history of the universe unfold as you were pulled down, as all paths in your future light cone led to the singularity, whatever that may be. I I realize as I type this, you could interpret that as time freezing, though I don’t see it that way. Theorizing stuff like this is mind bending though, right?

There are 2 distinct estimates, using different methods - 13.8 bn or 13.3 bn. The latter probably has a wider error margin. But if this latest paper suggesting tired light and variable constants is right, then all bets are off.

Hi. The only way I could get my head around figures like these, is to turn them into time. One million seconds = 11.57 days. One billion seconds = 31.71 years. One trillion seconds = 31,710 years.

I regard the universe as a rubber band, expanding to it's ultimate limit then collapsing on itself only to explode in another big bang again ad infinitum.

Makes you wonder if Fred Hoyle, Hermann Bondi et al were right after all with the Steady State Theory, some people struggle with the idea of something always existing but I think this is no more fantastic than why there is anything at all rather than nothing, or how something material could come from absolute nothingness? They're all mind-blowing theories aren't they, and tends to make me lean more to esoteric/philosophical enquiries rather than science.

I have always thought the universe to be older then our current theories predict. I also think ALL the cosmological constants aren't constant. They all have slowly changed over time. From a math perspective this becomes complex. Many of our equations use cosmological constants in them. For example, what happens then the c in E=mc2 is changing over time? Keep in mind all the other constants are also changing, which effects redshifts, gravity, nuclear forces, etc...

The posibility that an explanation of the red shift may be photons losing energy as they travel millions and billions of light years through space is easier for me to accept. I have always considered light as a measuring tool to be unreliable. I simply base my suspect of the unreliabilty of light based on the mirage effect. I may think I see water, but there is no water. Light is deceiving my eyes. I have long thought red shift is a mirage deceiving the eyes and telescopes. Now somebody needs to speak about how photons losing energy may produce a red shift effect. Would we not detect the hypothesized photon "red shift" when those photons are traveling toward us?

@keithnicholas

10 ай бұрын

when we measure electromagnetic radiation, we don't have mirage effects, we can measure it precisely, the ideas around "tired light" are old, but no ones suggesting redshifting due to the expanding universe is wrong, the suggestion is two effects are in play. When things are moving towards us we see a blue shift ( but the vast majority of the universe is redshifted, ie, expanding). Keep in mind blue and red here are not actually blue and red, we aren't talking about visible light it's just how we talk about whether the wavelengths are getting stretched or compressed.

So... photons with no mass, have somewhere to store energy? That they can loose energy and still be photons ? Light is stretched, it shifts all wavelengths in the process, red being the most obvious. dont forget our eyes dont really see much

if photons loose energy over these vast distances does that not mean that time doesn't stand completly still for these particles? and if so the speed of light isn't actually the true limit?

Centuries of scientific thought? It wasn't until the 1920s that astronomers learned there was more than one galaxy.

I wager one should also apply a philosophical approach. When one dreams from day to day, do the dreams have a limit? Are they infinite? How can they be infinite? Meaning that the universe is more of a high vibration like the mental, spiritual aura. This means that something can be learned if we look at spiritual things like dreams. Like supernovae they explode creating new stars and life, dreams come and go explode into reality and get forgotten into obscurity. Like the day and night of the cosmos... If there was a conscious universe dreaming our reality, then it blasted the dream into our physical matter, will disappear once it finishes, and a new dream of a new universe will come up. So in this sense the universe is cyclical creating the universe over and over again in a different setup, just like a dream. Like a big mind trying to look at all variations, playing them out one by one, clustering the most common together around each other and less common further away, in the process making a multi-verse. At the end this cosmology is not about the cosmos, it is about our existence. And in this regard, we cannot ignore what is going on in our earthly spheres and our minds either. When will scientists understand this?

I’ve had this kind of question in my head since I was young (I’m 51 now). Think of it this way: 1. The universe is 13.8 Billion yrs old. (Current estimate) 2. The Sun is 5 Billion yrs old (rough current estimate) 3. The Earth is 4.5 or 4.6 Billion yrs old ( best estimate) 4. Life has existed on this planet (any life) for about 3 billion yrs. 4. Humans ( in all aspects) has been around for 200 Million yrs or so. How can we (in our infantile intellect) believe in any way that everything we currently can see was created in just 13.8 Billion years? I suspect the Universe is far older than 27 Billion years old. We just can’t see it yet. SCIENCE!!😅

Yesterday it was 13B. Now it’s 26B. Tomorrow they will think it’s 52B. Why do things need a beginning or end to exist? It’s kind of like flat earth theory, or that earth was the center of the cosmos. Why could space not be infinite, and have no origin date and never end? Perhaps the data is just wildly misinterpreted. Not everything needs a birth or death. What of the law of conservation of mass? Seems like it’s trying to tell us something.
