Ripples From The Big Bang: Listening to the Beginning of Time

Ғылым және технология

In March, a major breakthrough in understanding the origin of universe took the scientific community-and the general public-by storm. A team lead by astronomer John Kovac, using a powerful telescope at the South Pole, reported evidence of ripples in the fabric of space time produced by the big bang, a long-sought prediction of our most refined approach to cosmology, the inflationary theory. Amidst the worldwide celebration, though, some have been quietly suggesting that the champagne has been uncorked prematurely. Join a singular conversation, among the world’s most respected pioneers in cosmological theory and observation, that will explore the state of the art in the ongoing quest to understand the beginning of the universe.

    Just a heads up that the LIGO experiment detects gravitational waves of a different nature than this; LIGO studies the gravitational waves created when massive gravitational events happen, like stellar mass black holes colliding. The gravitational waves created by the Big Bang are a very different beast, and we can't detect them. Part of this talk is about the BICEP2 project on the South Pole that was looking for a signature of those gravitational waves by looking at the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, an extremely difficult task. The BICEP2 discovery they're talking about in this video was announced in March 2014, and by June 2014 when this was filmed, I guess the team was still pretty excited. Unfortunately, since this video aired, further analysis of this discovery revealed that this BICEP2 announcement was not the smoking gun that they were hoping for. :/

Einstein's curved geometry of spacetime is false. The fabric of spacetime which curves around the mass is not the empty vacuum but the asmospheric medium,

    Energy yes, matter comes into existence and cancels itself back out all the time. It's a levelling out more than a creation or destruction.. technically with advanced enough science, we could re-seperate that particle and anti-particle into existence.. Most of the time matter and anti-matter cancel each other out almost immediately though. Within planck-time, which is parts of seconds. We and everything we know and everything we don't but that does exist in the physical reality, are what was left over because for some reason the matter and anti-matter didn't cancel out. Maybe gravity tugged on on particle but not as much on the other it whatever but matter is actually relatively rare..a fraction of what might come into being just long enough to disappear again... but here we all are, every atom of us made in the universe surrounding us.. and a lot of that in stars in the last moments of it's lifecycle.. Energy and matter can be converted into one another, much like water can be changed from a solid, into a liquid, into a gas.. it can't be created or truly destroyed, only separated from it's counterpart, but it can be cancelled out by it's equal and opposite.. What is amazing is that not all of it already has..

    @@gerrynightingale9045 Okay, I apologise for getting snappy. Yesterday was a bad day on my end. Let's go back to the water example. Imagine you have a glass of water in an enclosed system. You can heat it, cool it, freeze it... So your glass of water can be a gas (water vapor), and if you make it colder it will form liquid (water), and then a solid (ice) if you freeze it. Would you consider that solid block of ice a "gas becoming manifest"? Because E=MC^2 means that matter and energy at the speed of light are the same exact thing. It means that while we may know one to be solid and the other not, that under the same conditions they will be identical. (Take that block of ice and the water vapor, bring them both to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and both will be a puddle of water. In our closed system, the same glass full we started with. One doesn't "enable" or "disable" the other. It does not "work with" or "against" the other.. *there is no "other".* That's the point of E=MC^2. It's the same thing. Nothing is "becoming manifest". It's the same thing.. in a different phase. As such, your idea isn't "alternative" at all. You only are seeing the water vapor and the block of ice as two different things when they are in fact the same. On the upside: if we didn't already have E=MC^2, you might have discovered it. You're pretty close to it. So keep going.. That said, there is value in coming to things already known in your own way. I've certainly been there, but that does mean that sometimes when you ignore the road markers of others who have already been where you are, that you may find out they were there for reasons *other* than "misleading you" or "lying to you".. Sometimes it isn't a bad thing to read the literature available of other people who struggled with understanding what you are trying to get as well. It means you don't always have to reinvent the wheel.. That said, you'll probably end up with a wheel of your own all the same, and gain a deeper appreciation for them while you're at it, so go for it. Keep going, and maybe take it a step further. Try plugging in data into your ideas. Make your own measurements and experiment. Does what you think work? Can you take your ideas out of the abstract and verbal, and apply them? Because until that moment all you are coming up with is "doctrine" of your own, based solely on your own abstract thought, without any testing of it's validity. Right or wrong, you'll end up with new answers and new questions. There is no such thing as a "failed" science experiment (even if there are some we shouldn't do for various reasons..) Consider looking up Walter Lewin's physics lectures on MITx.. they might move you forward..

    Gauss wrote his PHD thesis : four different mathematical methods all proving individually the Fundamental Theorem of algebra in 1799. So, to prove a physical law arising from a phenomenon , there is often not one, but several ways or methods. Newton's Law of universal gravitation is one, Einstein's field equation is another, the Coulomb's Law of electromagnetism is yet another. As Newton came up with his law in the 17th century, Coulomb's in the 18th century, and Einstein's in the 20th century, each of them did not know what the others did. Yet their respective different methods all describe the observed phenomenon of "gravity".

    1:26:17 And that's a very important point about Scientific Positivism and C. Popper's notion of Falsifiability in Principle. This is where science and metaphysics go their own separate ways. There are many things which are not testable in principle like God, Fairies, Giant Space Dragons, etc. and so don't belong in science. Cosmology is sometimes perched right on the very edge of that boundary. It is perhaps no surprise why some of the theories in this field attract so many pseudo-scientific conjectures, some sites even went as far as to suggest that in the Holographic Principle Theory, the holographic "plate" was God and projection is "an act of creation". The closer a theory is to this boundary, the more "fluff" grows around it and the more it is treated by the lay public as some kind of justification of the centuries-old superstitions or evidence of the "merging of religion and science". This is why I personally choose to remain on the cautious, "conservative" side, even though I am anything but conservative in my views.

    This is the best KZread video I have ever seen. Not only was it packed with new information, the people were so pleasant, it would be so fun to hang out with them. I wish I could have been there to ask some questions. 1. the statistical graph looked like a roller coaster. I would have expected it to be smooth and monotonic. What gives? Why all those humps? It is saying that different scales of space have peculiar properties. 2. It seemed that polarisation came only in two flavours. Surely it comes in every possible angle? Is every photon polarised SOME way?

    In mathematics, the common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10. It is also known as the decadic logarithm and also as the decimal logarithm, named after its base, or Briggsian logarithm, after Henry Briggs, an English mathematician who pioneered its use. It is indicated by log10(x), or sometimes Log(x) with a capital L (however, this notation is ambiguous since it can also mean the complex natural logarithmic multi-valued function). On calculators it is usually "log", but mathematicians usually mean natural logarithm rather than common logarithm when they write "log". To mitigate this ambiguity the ISO specification is that log10(x) should be lg (x) and loge(x) should be ln (x).

    How can the earth arrive at its place from its origins in the Big Bang see an event that happens at its origin through signals that travel at the fastest speed possible- the speed of light? Isn’t it like telling your friend who drives at 140 kms per hour “ I’ll wait for your coming in our destination”, even if you can’t drive any faster than him and you left the origin at the same time? If this was a smoking gun, didn’t the smoke tarry too long for a multibillion old earth? Mind you this is not about hating works like this. They’re fabulous. There’s just so many holes that need to be explained or filled. Like the theory gravity is not a force. No one has explained why two masses attract, it’s just there, Newton said. Subsequent theories to explain the phenomena are still full of holes swept under the rug.

Not the universe itself. Look up quality tum physics or even string theory to understand what you yourself are saying what brain is saying and how they are related.

    My only issue with this is that nobody actually knows the age of any of the particles that are being observed.... including the background radiation. The origin is 100% being assumed... mainly because nobody has any other explanation for the background radiation that appears to be everywhere in the universe. What if the background radiation is actually being produced by the dark matter? That would instantly disprove the big bang theory right?

    I think what Andre discusses as early fluctuating parameters producing multiple universes (realities) is extremely interesting. It makes the fine tuning thing seem less far fetched. He talks about a "fractal" condition. That is really compelling. What if dark energy and matter is the stuff of one or more of the alternate universes created with perimeters so close to ours that it actually interacts?

    I've recently started watching this video and so far it is quite AWESOME as I know what they are speaking of. And when proposes what led to the inflationary theory and what has caused for the universe to expand so rapidl is because of dark energy: an extremely repulsive force that axiomly outweighted gravity's contracting force. Now there are a bit of singularity's in which gravity wins and that is called the Big Crunch singularity but as apparent that is not true

    @TheRaybo66 - My humble understanding of that theory of the universe expanssion is that rather than the "stuff " Galaxies moving apart it is actually the opposite that is happening ie, the Galaxies are in a way static but the universe - space and time that is expanding hence the "stuff" Galaxies are pull and push apart. Take the balloon 🎈 as an example- if you mark two points or draw 2 cats on a balloon just one centimeter from each other and begun to blow air into that balloon and as you pump more air into that balloon it becomes larger and as the size increases the 2 cats will separate from each other and more air larger balloon resulting more space between Cat 1 and Cat 2 so in this case it is the space , the Universe that is expanding.

    How can you people be intelligent enough to discuss such ideas and yet totally FAIL at simple consideration? I do not LIVE ALONE! DO NOT EVER vary the volume level of your video! It MUST REMAIN a CONSTANT to be considerate to those whom you are INFLICTING it upon! I assure you I can respect and appreciate the heralding introduction of your panel WITHOUT disturbing my household. My respect for anything you have to offer will come entirely from my perception of the presentation and importance of the material offered and NOT how loudly you can force it into my ears! How can you totally fail to consider SIMPLE MANNERS and yet offer us anything of value here? THINK! Now say it WITH me, "One constant, unchanging, decibel level." See? It's not so difficult! Think about others, before celebrating yourselves so loudly and intensely. After all, without our public perception of your greatness you haven't really much to celebrate and will be doing it alone. Gads! I can't BELIEVE the colossal audacity! (Simply because it wasn't merely rude but, was also evidently entirely the result of celebrating yourselves. (It's one thing to be inconsiderate, quite another when it seems ego-based. It also destroys some of your credibility. The THINKING portion of the audience is forced to stop and consider periodically, how much of your presentation is generated by hubris that can't let go of ideas due to ego.) Also, a formal discussion formally presented to the public, is a formal affair. While I understand mistakes are easy to make, (I've made one or two myself.) I ask that you at least TRY to use correct grammar and tenses. You wouldn't want to be responsible for DE-EDUCATING your audience whilst being right smack in the middle of making a pretense at being educators now would you? (Foreigners not speaking their native tongue, notwithstanding, they have an excuse.) If I seem a little overly adamant, it is because I know there are others who won't voice their annoyance. (particularly by the changing volume levels.) Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please pardon my annoyance fueled reaction. I am accustomed to most humans requiring a fuss made before they make much notice of anything that exists outside the borders of their personal interests.
