@@thegoodmanrot1460 It's a fair possible interpretation of biblical sources and scientific data. 1 chronicles 2.6 speaks of heaven and the heaven of heavens (a universe of universes?), which vast as they are, still cannot contain God. That's the macro. Colossians 1.16-17 speaks of God as like the Higgs Boson (see what I did there!?) holding the visible and the invisible together. Hebrews 11.2 is a good one, taking us down to the atomic level: "By faith we understand that the worlds (plural) were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." More speculatively Ephesians 3:18 possibly references four dimensions, "may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and the length and the depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge." In all of these verses, the writers are intelligently and humbly recognizing that there are realities currently beyond our current ability to understand, and yet they are striving to understand them anyway. Faith feeds understanding, and understanding feeds faith.

"He stretches out the heavens like a cloak" ... Expanding universe. Psalm 8 the fish "pass through the paths of the seas". On the basis of that a man went looking for - and found - the ocean currents. And what about Job. "He binds up the Pleiades and looses the belt of Orion". We now know that from earth's perspective the stars of the pleiades are in fact moving closer together, and the three in orion's belt are moving apart. The supernatural is whatever transcends our current knowledge of nature. Whether as far back in time as the big bang or as small as a quantum theory of gravity, there will always be new levels of understanding to attain to, and, in the hearts of the humble, more wonder and reverence for the First Cause that holds it all together.

yah i got a bit lost on this caz i thought he was just theorizing on what is beyond the boundary of space but then he gets a bit off topic with holographic principal n i didn't really get the analogy or care to since its not really something that is applicable, so the most i got out of it was pretty much, you can mathematically define an infinite boundary on paper or that the universe might not be truly infinite. n i suppose there is little point wondering whats on the outside of space (if anything at all). kinda hard to get there when we can't even rly go.. anywhere. space is kind of boring to me now. its like just there n doesn't support life for humans becaz it is not for them =p n it is most likely something other than what we think it is.

I ask myself 'how can the universe be infinite?' and I struggle to grasp it, how can it go on forever and ever? It seems impossible to me and then I ask myself "how could it not be infinite?" and I struggle to grasp that as well, how could the universe just stop? How could there be an ending and then nothing beyond that point? That seems just as impossible as an infinite universe

This channel is political. It is maximum money making agenda "physics". It is dumbed down "physics". It's plainly not honest. TRUTH, reality, AND nature/natural experience go hand in hand. They are knowingly lying about physics. Here's the proof. Here are the facts. THE THEORETICAL, TOP DOWN, CLEAR, SIMPLE, AND BALANCED MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE FACT THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA OF NECESSITY: Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Very importantly, outer “space” involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. NOW, carefully consider what is THE SUN; AS it does (and it must) exist in both time AND SPACE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky !!! E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy !!!! Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Carefully consider what is THE MAN who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The sky is blue, AND THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE !!! Carefully consider what is THE EYE. GREAT. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This CLEARLY explains the cosmological redshift AND the "black hole(s)" !!! AGAIN, gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma IN BALANCE !!!! Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! Great. By Frank DiMeglio

You can summarize the video with "what happens when you warp through space (so infinite speed)" 1. You end up where you started 2. You hit a wall 3. You go on forever For 1.) the universe would have to be a big 4d "ball" and we should be able to detect it or its so big that we can't measure precise enough. Its therefore possible We always ruled out 2.) because i think that would result in weird stuff and its probably not how expansion works. I wanted to add it though. And for 3.) the universe was always infinite. What happend at the big bang was just decreasing density and expansion of a point in an already infinite universe. so what would happen if you go on forever is, at some point you would just stop seeing matter and particles, just empty space. And the stuff with the diagrams was just about measuring and mapping and preparation for the video of the holographic principle. This video is more philosophical than scientific since it has no real applications. It's still fun and interesting though

Don't feel bad this is not trivial. Basically, physicist realized that you can perfectly describe all the information hold within a blackhole in a 2D array instead of the expected 3D. A black hole basically strips a full spatial dimention out of anything that crosses the horizon and as black holes are the physical boundaries of our universe, physicists theorized that the edge of the universe ALSO should be described as a 2D array with 3Dness behaving more like an illusion, a hologram.

I watch these episodes every time they are released. I get about 50% before my brain says "no your never gonna understand this" and shuts down.

The Whole of Space is truly infinite in both size and time and in every directions, it has no beginning and no end.

As Argentinian, I've seen dozens of videos of Juan Maldacena, even L. Susskind or Joe Polchinsky without catching it, I`m only accountant with poor background in Mathematics and Geometry. This video, helps me a lot for example with the explanations of Mikonski, De Sitter and Anti-De Sitter spaces and so on....gonna watch it a couple of times more. Thank you.!

I had a good day at work today. A senior analyst gave me a job well done on a task he assigned to me. I was feeling good. But I didn't want to get too high on my britches, so I made sure to watch the latest PBS SpaceTime and knock me back down to reality. That is. I know nothing. I have no idea half of what you said. And the more I watch, the more I realize how much I don't know. And the more I realize how much I don't know, the more I love this channel. Yes, today is a good day. Both a compliment at work and a new PBS SpaceTime. I am happy.

This episode made me feel like an idiot, but at least I laughed my ass off for an hour reading the comments.

I actually enjoy not understanding anything about it. It fascinates me how difficult physics can be and how smart scientists can be.

Watching the end of this episode from 2020, just laughing about 2012. Ah, simpler times.

This is the most interesting and best channel on KZread. Well done Dr. O'Dowd. Bravo guys :)

WOW! Among other things, hats off to the graphics people who somehow managed to keep up with Matt on this episode. That feeling when the roller coaster is about to start down the first slope, and you realize that it's so much taller than you expected... I swear if you guys can get me to understand the holographic principle, I'm going to double my contribution.

Just watch this lecture by Leonard Susskind. Search "Leonard Susskind on The World As Hologram" or click YT link kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHh9zpWBlsufpLw.html . He was close friends with Richard Feynman and teaches at Stanford. Him and Gerard't Hooft both collaborated together in developing the holographic principle. So it's best to get your layman explanation of it from one of the sources. It's really insightful and easier to follow IMO.

So, here's basically what i figured from this vid... Our flat space-time (the world we live in) is literally just the surface of some higher dimension construct. The reason our universe is infinite is because the edge is not on our space, but on a higher dimension. The hologram thingy, basically means all of this reality, means we are just shadows from a much, much more complex stuff. Edit: After watching the latest video though, I think i have to make some adjustments to my personal "take". We aren't just shadows. We're are also casting something of our own on a higher dimension. That's what we call gravity. And that solves the information paradox on black holes too, apparently. This getting more confusing for me. My brain is overloaded. Mind=blown.

I define a nanosecond as the moment of clarity of understanding after watching an episode.

Oooooh lots of new stuff to think about! That is deliciously new and complex and sits neatly on top of my current knowledge and understanding levels... nice! I love you P.B.S. space time!

oh boy, what did i just get myself into.

A sphere, which is a 3D shape, has a 2D surface. A hypersphere, which is a 4D shape, has a 3D surface. A 4D hypersphere with a 3D surface is impossible for us to visualise, but in the deSitter space example, it would just mean that the 3D universe that we live in is actually the 3D surface of a hypersphere where if you keep going forwards you'll end up where you started, just like on the surface of a regular sphere.

This episode in particular stands out in that respect. The graphics accompanying the explanations are worthy of a prize for contributions to this internet corner of spacetime.

I like to personalize the info to deepen the inner crisis. And to force growth. Grab a regular old 3d flashlight, and point it at the wall. Slowly move it toward where it meets the other wall (any perpendicular one). Watch as the flat projection of light changes shape as the light moves from one surface to another. Try describing to yourself what you're seeing. Everything from the floodlight beam to the changing circular-to-ovoid light geometry on the wall. A creature living solely within that circle of light... would never dream of you and your flashlight. Sitting there and slowly moving it across surfaces. You literally change it from being upon two "dimensions" in this simple exercise to being on one common dimension + a new one. Geometrically, there are also a few deep mysteries happening with the precise shapes involved. The questions there occur on multiple levels... but, one existential helplessness at a time. (treat it like meditation if that helps, doing one careful thought exercise at a time... then adding in each day some of the info you've learned here). We're the first generation who stands a chance at understanding this new view of the universe on an intuitive level. Physicists of old would have killed to watch well-produced supercomputer simulations or video descriptions of all the subjects they weren't specialized in. In 30 years, when we're on brain-download episode 47,689... You'll finally be ready for that SpaceX journey to Sagitarius A*. See you there!

Every math major remembers the first time they learned about the Poincaré disk model for hyperbolic geometry-it’s just so beautiful.
