Solving the biggest mysteries of the universe - with Gianfranco Bertone

Ғылым және технология

How can we see into the mysterious and inaccessible parts of the universe? How can we connect the infinitely large, and the infinitely small? Learn about multi-messenger astronomy, a cutting edge approach that can do this. Watch the Q&A here: • Q&A: Solving the bigge... .

Read Gianfranco's book 'A tale of two infinities' here: geni.us/bertone
Discover four big mysteries of the universe, as Gianfranco explores the surprising connections between the study of the universe on the largest scales, and the physics of the infinitely small. You'll also learn about multi-messenger astronomy which combines the traditional approach based on the observation of light from celestial objects, with a new method based on other 'messengers' - such as gravitational waves, neutrinos, and cosmic rays.
Gianfranco Bertone is Professor of Theoretical Astroparticle Physics at the Center of Excellence in Gravitation and Astroparticle Physics of the U. of Amsterdam, GRAPPA (Gravitation, AstroParticle Physics Amsterdam), where he leads a research team investigating topics at the interface between particle physics and cosmology.
Since June 2019, he is the founding director of the European Consortium for Astroparticle Physics (EuCAPT).
Beside scientific research and teaching, Gianfranco is active in science outreach, and involved in various initiatives to advocate the importance of scientific culture.
This video was recorded on 3 November 2021 at the Royal Institution.

    My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar time! (Mikey's Time) Think of it like Alvin and the chipmunks. "Vyger's" message is fine. It's just sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "Vyger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. (That name is still up for grabs.) Outside the Local Group time is the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until Vyger is outside the Ort cloud .007-.07% faster, maybe. Just for reference. •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference. •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard," or...;-P Name NOT up for grabs BUT just begging to be measured. The rate/flow of time is fastest here so, surfing time here is choice though it's best to have your motor boat. ;-P A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. Pass it on, please and thank you.

    TIME is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city complain about the same TIME paradox unless it was effected by it. Maybe a TIME distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of TIME distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're randomly given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? There is SO MUCH MORE to TIME than we realize. TI-I-I-IME, is on my side. Yes, it is!

It's a bigger threat than global warming,.We need to talk about this more.

    Ok, how about this way then? Black hole's affect space, matter, and TIME! It's not JUST the intense gravitational pull. It's also the abundance/absence of TIME!* People keep dismissing the TIME. (*When it takes 500k of our years for 1 millionth of a second to pass, it's safe to say there's a relative absence/abundance of TIME.) It's the ebb and flow of TIME that proves it. The "starved" of TIME white hole's ENTIRE existence flashes by in an instant. A black hole is "stuffed" with TIME. That's why things age slower. The black hole's TIME gets so stuffed that particles are, for lack of a better word, "squeezed" into TIME with so much force that they exist in the past, present and future, at the same TIME, in TIME. (QUANTUM PARTICLES, DUH!) I mean if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a force, it might not be just a causality. There's more to TIME than we think. Remember, crazy is a compliment. As it should be

    The greatest mysteries of the universe are still mysteries. If they were solved, they would no longer be mysteries. So one can only present opinions and conjectures about mysteries, collect opinions and conjectures, and speculate about mysteries and conjectures. Even if the mysteries at the cosmological level were already solved and exact solutions proposed, there would still be dozens of alternative ideas to these "solved" mysteries in the scientific sentence.

    The Universe is information. The information is the message. The messages can be read by instruments. "Multi messenger" is referring to multiple information streams like gravity and EM waves. It's akin to mRNA, where m= "messenger" as it relays information. There's no inherent anthropomorphic statement, but may seem that way depending on how you bring your humanistic views to it, or how you anthropomorphize it, in other words.

    Those galaxies aren't in the past, there in their own "now", just like we are in their past, but our own "now". Light takes a while to travel, not instant. We are looking INTO the past of the CURRENT "now" for those galaxies. (It's like taking an angled slice, where that angle is time). The Universe is expanding equally everywhere we look, from every other point. The more distance between them, the faster that CUMULATIVE expansion. (The rate though, is the same as our neighborhood.) So what we are seeing is light from objects moving away from us, or us them. This light is stretched out by the expanding space between. The more space between, the more redshift to the original wave. The farther away we look, the more redshift we see. And everything is moving away from us (and so every other point as well). The nearer galaxies (closer to us in space and time) are less redshifted, so expanding away more slowly. This indicates the rate is accelerating over time. It's not that the rate between any 2 galaxies is faster than between any others. It's an additive effect based on distances (volume) of expanding space between any 2 given points. ....That said, the rate of expansion could be slowing NOW, but we wouldn't know that untill the light from those galaxies reaches us. Which could take a while. (It's like a movie which has been made, but not released yet. It needs to be transported, and is en route. We will see it when we see it.)
