The Universe Runs on Vibes
As much as we like to talk about vibes, actual vibrations underlie pretty much everything about the universe. From the patterns of galaxies created by the Big Bang to the existence of subatomic particles, here's how the universe runs on vibes.

Like my Modern Physics professor used to say; "You're just a very complex waveform."
"Density Wave" I finally have a real term for an example I was using for a long time. From 2019 to 2022 I had a job in a building that was right next to a train track for organizing train cars coming out of the local quarries. Every once in a while you would hear a noise of energy flowing through the train after a car was added to the end. I always used the Slinky example to explain things to people, I didn't know that that phenomena had an actual name.

This reminds me of synchronizing metronomes.
A couple of months ago, a paper was published, that said, using very sensitive instruments, they recorded and measured the frequency of breast cells. They extrapolated, that all cell may have their own vibes and cells that were sick could be detect if they were not vibing correctly. This research is in its infancy.

The Cosmic Microwave Background CMB is the ripples from the first event, a rock thrown into the pond of existence, the first disturbance that shuttered sound, space, energy and matter into existence ,that still faintly echoes to this day like the remnants of a womb if you have ears to hear or eyes to see.
This is a very ‘hello fellow kids’ moment 😂

8:42 Thank you for that Resistance Orbit Definition. I’ve always wondered, the BILLIONS of years of undisturbed conditions- just seems impossible
Maybe it’s my ignorance speaking, but this feels like it could explain “dark matter “. What acts like invisible mass/spacetime warping, could be “momentum “ carried over from these primordial vibrations. I’m a complete, although passionate, amateur when it comes to this subject; so maybe I’m an example of the Dunning-Krueger effect. It just popped into my mind when watching this video. Who knows?
We are part of a cosmic dance, a small part of the universal choir all singing together. Kind of beautiful

I gazed out at the condensation of matter, resonating with energy, frequency, and vibration in the Ether of space-time. It buzzes and wiggles.
Haha, I told my brother this 20+ years ago and he thought I was insane. It doesn't pay to be too far ahead of the curve.
If you go with QFT, then vibes is literally what the universe is made of. Coterminous universe-spanning fields with quantized, localized excitations (or vibrations) that we call particles. Energy transfer, where one field can move its excited state to another field, is how electrons can emit photons for example. It's all just vibrations, moving in space, moving between fields, always moving.

Yeah hindu atomist philosophers in the ancient world did believe that everything was made of vibrating particles but that's partly because they also believed in ritualistic chanting & magical incantations that "worked" because they could affect those particles.

If there were no vibrations there would only be a flat energy field. This is, I think, equivalent to the heat death of the Universe.

Very interesting thanks
One of my favorite physics facts is not strictly a “vibration” it fits the slang idea of a vibe. Baryons (protons, neutrons, etc) are special in that they have 3 quarks inside. This is so important that the number of baryons in a system must remain constant in any quantum system. There’s also the conservation of energy, which means systems cannot spontaneously gain energy, it has to come from the outside. All baryons except protons decay very quickly. Neutrons have a 20~ minute half life on their own: they only last inside a nucleus because of the structure of an atom turning decayed neutrons (protons) back into neutrons by absorbing electrons. The other baryons have tiny half lives, quickly decaying into a smaller baryon and another particle. But why? Why must baryons decay? The answer is shockingly simple: they decay *because they can*. A baryon can do nothing, decay, or upgrade. Upgrading, like a proton to a neutron requires energy to enter the system, so it’s usually nothing or decay. Eventually they just decay because it’s something they can do. Then the final aspect. Why don’t protons decay? Protons are the lightest baryon. Decay means the baryon loses energy, but there is no baryon lighter than a proton. Baryon number must remain constant, so the proton has *nothing to decay into*

Everything is a wavelength, vibration, frequency, or resonance. Everything. "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." --A.B. (DD1) 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
I am so glad I can just vibe with the universe.
Tldr. Every atom, electron, energy, anything is just wave form. It become physical being when it interact with other atom (measured)

All I kept thinking about is music, some music has a natural flow to it like the waltz watch how in the ballroom they have a natural flow as they weave in and out and around the room all at the same time. The movement is kept in time with the flow of the music, the best example is “Blue Danube Waltz” by Johann Strauss II, composed in 1866

0:40 I watched some science video, so long ago that I don't even remember what it was, but the video called out people who say that inanimate objects "like" to do things. Objects don't "like" to vibrate at certain frequencies, but they may *tend* to do so. For some reason that "resonated" with me and now I try to avoid ascribing human traits to inanimate objects.
This is why I happy dance when the food is good. :)
You guys don't make enough space content anymore 🥺
Those at the beginning of the video are called Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations.
So if I know and am able to replicate the correct frequencies, I can jigle some goldblocks in to my bankvault from "Nothing" ?

More stuff on fields would be cool.
Was the big bang the excitation point for the fields to start rippling? I really like thinking of it as a rain drop that started the universe

If energy cant be destroyed and the initial galaxy was incredibly hot, where did it all go? You said it took thousands of years for things to "cool down", but cooling happens when energy normalises with an adjacent, cooler medium. So what absorbed the excess heat?

12:45 so i dont have to feel existentially scared about the particles that make up everything "not existing", becuz the fields that make them up are actually _quantized,_ and are therefor quite solid & chunky? like im not gonna disappear if i comprehend the physics of matter too accurately??? cuz matter is actually quite solid?????

No, but after the holidays... I am quite solid and chunky.
Our universe is actually almost totally devoid of stuff. Stuff is the rarity.
I don't know if I've understood properly, but does that mean while light is a spectrum, we really only have specific wavelengths related to the existing atoms and their electron orbitals? But then wait, those wavelengths are all being stretched by expanding space... so I guess there really is a full spectrum out there.
All matter vibrates, all energy flows. so yeah…
THE FLASH !!!
