    The way I look at it, just because light hasn't reached it yet, does not mean that the "Space" isn't there, even though I guess that makes it sort of irrelevant if it's just completely empty, the math would end up being zero..

    I'd love to see you react to a video with actual hard science and mathematics (try PBS Spacetime, hosted by an actual professor). I love Kurzgesagt for their ability to explain complicated topics to the masses.. but I want to see you reacting to actual hard numbers and data (you seemed so surprised that Kurzgesagt 'actually' performed a calculation..). Something tells me it won't be so easy for you to edit down lol. You can pick on Kurzgesagt all you want for their (self-admitted) "lying" and simplification (they always have their sources in the description..), but I want to see you reacting to something closer to an academic level.

    PBS Spacetime falls into a really awkward category when it comes to covering scientific topics. Not imaginative enough to foster scientific interest while clearly playing to the algorithm. Not thorough enough to be academically interesting. I see that channel more so as the middle ground between Kurzgesagt and other scientific channels on youtube. There are channels that focus on writing and present bigger pictures that often delve into the more philosophical theoretical side. This video is a small taste of that, a channel like "the history of the universe" covers stuff like that mostly and it's importance is really just in fostering scientific curiosity. Then you have channels that journal and report on scientific papers like Anton Petrov for an example. Teaching is a skill at the end of the day and there are channels that are really good at giving introductory videos into understanding theories. ScienceClic is a great example here, they're excellent at teaching. If you compare their videos on quantum field theory to PBS spacetime's videos on it then you'll see a stark difference in teaching ability. You also have the stark scientific critic channels on youtube of course, i don't really care to mention a name here. While i personally feel that the cynicism here often fails to grasp the larger points it's still a valuable part of the ecosystem. Though if that's all the content you consume it's of course potentially problematic.

    In an infinite universe (either in time or space or both) not everything that is possible (by imagination - like someone getting straight flush 10 times in one poker game) has to happen infinitely often. Some reasonably imaginable things might never happen. Even something that has already happened, might still happen only once, cause they might have happened once *despite* having zero probability. If you pick a random number from an infinite set (for example the natural or real numbers or even just a rational number between 0 and 1), each number has zero probability to be picked... yet the moment you pick one, it has happened. Even if you pick a number from 1 to 10 but repeat that infinitely many times... the numbers picked might be 1, 1, 1, 1, ... not very likely, but just as likely as any other infinite sequence... zero probability.

    also if you think about how time works for light it kind of makes sense that the universe is infinite and that there is no edge because it's infinite. light has no time meaning the expansion of the universe has already happened and it's just infinite. no mather how hard you try to get to the edge you can't because geting to the edge means going light speed and light speed means it's instantly all just infinitly there. i don't think our human brains can understand it. no mather how you think of it like what if we teleported to the current edge just instantly during those 0,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 sec where the universe is expanding what is on the other side of the edge? there is no edge there is just infinitly more space. so the universe is infinite because there is no actual point in time where there don't exist more universe beyond the edge.

    I was thinking about what you said in regards to an infinite universe meaning that uniqueness no longer exists and a few other of your suggested philosophical outcomes from about 8:30 int he video: Is that even true though? Could you not have an infinite universe where certain things are not repeated? I get the sense that this question is related to a really difficult application of cardinalities, and of course I have no idea, but it seems to me that you could have an infinite universe where there might even be no objects that are exactly the same. I don't know, hard questions obviously.

    If the universe is truly infinite, and the laws of physics that allowed for our existence stay the same throughout it (or at least repeat in intervals an infinite amount of times) then yes, there will be infinite versions of you. However if the Universe is truly infinite, but the laws of physics change, and never repeat (not even sure how that would work but it might be possible) then you likely are the only you. In any case, I don't think it matters if we are unique or not, I'm living my life, and whoever is identical to me is living their lives.

    But even if the universe is infinite, could there not just be infinite worlds with even any people on them? Admittedly this seems unlikely, but we don't even really know the odds of say, humans specifically, occurring. Also, if there is an infinite universe in the way described, then presumably there is also infinite matter there, with infinite ways of it being rearranged. What are the odds that any given arrangement has multiple of me in it? How could we even know whether or not that chance is high or not? Also, i dont really care very much if I am unique or not either, I'm just not totally convinced by the argument.@@Ristaak

    If there is infinite universe though, then there is infinite matter, so the odds of any specific arrangement of the universe occurring is also nonexistent, like the chances of getting a real number value from sampling a distribution, so what is the proportion of possible infinite universal structures that contains multiple of, say, me? Or do you think this way of thinking about it is flawed? I don't really know, just interesting to ponder for me I guess.@@Lyumia.

    Putting aside my opinion that infinity never manifests outside of theory, the nature of an instance of infinity is dependent on the parameters that are expanding. The point that the video makes is that you can arbitrarily pick parameters of our universe to expand while others remain constant, and it will still by definition be an infinite universe.

    Time is relative to space, so if space curved in on itself, then time would be freaking out. All of these “finite with no border” stuff would completely wreck the flow of time. I’m no expert, but I know you can’t bend space without time bending in the inverse.

    my theory of what is likely based on what we can prove is that maybe the expansion of the universe is infinite and the expansion of time is infinite but everything contained inside the universe is finite. as some have theorised that we could potentially get into a position billions of years into the future where we can no longer see other objects in space are moving away from us faster then the light can be sent back to us. In these scenario tho, for humans to still exist we would probably have to have solved what the universe actually is and how to traverse it without regard to time and distance. My theory would put the universe not as literally infinite but that it might aswell be as if you attempted to "catch up" to the border you would never reach it as it travels faster then the speed of light. if U somehow reached it well we know nothing because anything laws outside our existence is unknown and will likely always be unknown

We literally just can't see beyond it, not that there's a wall. Galaxies are drifting out of the observable universe constantly because they move away from us faster than the speed of light.

    My problem with an infinite universe is: With an infinite universe, there would effectively be infinite variations on physics, and with even just a low chance, there will eventually be an area of the universe that allows for wormholes which go any distance and direction you can choose, and if there's one area that allows for it, then there are infinite, and since any wall in physics could be breached after infinite possibilities, we would have inevitably been confronted by an infinite number of everything, falling out of an infinite number of White Holes, which doesn't happen, last I checked.

    time travel is possible it's just going back in time that is the tricky part. going forward in time is very possible. the real question is what happens if you reach light speed? because att light speed time would stop. and light don't actually experiance time. it takes about 8minutes for sun light to hit you from your perspective but from the lights point of view it was instant. so would that mean that we would just instantly get to where we are going or does that mean we just instantly die without ever knowing it because after a billion years of flying att light speed in space we finnaly hit a planet and wipe out a bunch of dinosaurs. a billion years from earths perspective but instant from the ones in the space ship.

    We do know the universe is expanding. A disappointing fact for space travel. We know we are looking at the past. And we have measured expansion of the universe. I remember Kyle Hill asking for a better demonstration of the bending of space time. The whole bending a paper and poking a hole through it - something better than that. So many topics covered in this. It reminds me of old Carl Sagan videos about dimensions. 4D space and such that we just cannot understand or view. One idea being like tesseracts and such.

I'm no physicist, and this is just my understanding as a nerd... but you'd be hard pressed to find serious physicists that believe information can travel faster than light. we have very good reasons from relativity to believe that it is impossible (time travel?), and even those behind the recent "quantum teleportation" experiments in the last decade still make it clear that information is not being transferred faster than light.
