    Yeah, I mean, we know that energy will dialate time and slow it down, so why wouldn't the stars and particals early on be slowed down., atleast particals will vibrate and fuse more slowly, but they can still travel at the same speeds. stars of super massive or hyper msassive size could have been moving in slow time, meaning they would have lasted longer trying to figure out how long they lasted by expansion speeds would be wrong, meaning more expansion for the star lasting longer, and it's time slow down effect has been reduced.

    I have a small correction to give: He3 does indeed stay liquid close to absolute 0, but so does He4. The property for which it is so precious in the application discussed in the paper is that unlike He4, it stays NON SUPERFLUID (down to about 1 mK, then it becomes superfluid too). That allows it to couple way more with other thermal baths compared to superfluid He4

    Sabine, your voice in the science communication world is so valuable and unique, thank you. I watched a NOVA episode recently and, no offense to PBS, but I realized how impoverished the science content used to be for people who are interested in more than the surface explanations. They really *couldn't* go into any depth in the old media. I am grateful for the wealth of dedicated science and math KZreadrs like you. I'm wondering whether since the gravitational situation was different in the early Universe, would that have caused any actual dilation? i.e. not due to the expansion but because time *actually* ran at a different rate relative to now?

KZread is great because it allows many more science creators to carve out their own niche, like Sabine has done, each a different levels of "depth" or expertise. PBS Space Time is a great example of how much deeper you can go when producing KZread videos. I certainly don't need them to go any deeper.

    You can speed up the supermarket time if you use the self-checkout which more and more are adding. But there is a randomness whether, on the average, it is faster or not. This is known as the Schrödingers Self Checkout Speed Constant. However, intelligent setups can influence how often the radioactive particles can cause a problems at the self-checkout, while the original Schrödingers you had no way to influence it.

    Hmmm, if observations show that time was 5x slower this could have massive implications on all fields, it means light coming from it is for all intents and purposes in slow motion. So that could mean the speed of rotating galaxies could just be faster (and so we maybe don't need Dark Matter) but we're seeing it slowed down due to the distances involved.

    The problem is not the speed of rotation of whole galaxies, the problem is that parts of galaxies that are closer to the center should move, should rotate faster than the regions that are further, and that is not the case, so Dark Matter is there to solve that weird problem.

    Additionally, if time actually ran slower in the past, dark energy is probably also bunk. It means that what we are witnessing (increasing acceleration of the rate of expansion of the universe) is not dark energy at work, but time dilation having less and less effect as the universe ages and expands, speeding up time and giving us the illusion the expansion is accelerating at an increasing pace, which is logical as the matter density is constantly dropping, and MAYBE.....this is the true mechanism that points the arrow of time, and not entropy! I always took for granted that entropy pointed the arrow of time, just because some famous astrophysicists say so, but I was never really satisfied with that answer, because we dont see time moving backwards in a frame of reference where entropy is temporarily decreasing. For example, in proximity to humans that can make conscious choices causing unnatural interaction with the immediate environment, thereby increasing complexity and decreasing entropy (I think I got that right LOL) within a specific volume of spacetime.

    That is right, and is not a joke, it is the same phenomenon as in cosmology only that in your case it is the percption of time and in cosmology is time itself that dilates, but the reason is the same. Time, both the physical quantity and the perception, are analytic functions of whatever causes them, such functions usually start out at zero value (complicated, but along these lines)

    I'm an amateur astrophotographer Sabine and I've had to deal with a few of those pesky Starlink satellites streaking through my photographs as well. It's not that they're difficult to remove from photos, at least not at their current population, it's the fact that the noise reduction algorithyms in the processing software has to average them out and replace them with similar pixels to the ones they're covering up. So really you end up with an approximation of what the sky looked like where the satelites left trails. You're actually loosing real data, and that's not scientific. For instance, a satellite streaks through a long exposure and covers X amount of stars. It's always going to be a streak because to capture stars you have to do long exposures. Your tracking mount compensates for Earths rotation so that your telescope remains locked on the target portion of the sky, otherwise all the stars would be star trails rather than point sources. Therefore, anything moving with respect to the background stars, gas and dust, will leave a streak. If your post processing software averages out streaks or what it calls outliers of a set of multiple exposures, (stacked to increase signal to noise), not only are you loosing stars, you could loose an asteroid or comet because the algorithym can't tell the difference between them and satelites. So imagine one hundred thousand of them circling the globe. Some point sources are so small and faint that they'll be occulted by a streaking satellite. The data,(photons), behind the streaks are lost. Similarly, meteors can be taken out, but sometimes we like those in wide field landscape astrophotography. Imagine you had a bunch of elements blocking signals between the collisions and detectors of the LHC. How long would it be before a physicist figured out a way to remove the obstructions? Not long I'll bet, but that's not an option for astronomers, professional or otherwise. All any astrophotographers can do is average out what's not supposed to be there with data from a frame it doesn't appear in. Imagine how much harder that becomes as the sky progressively fills up with reflected light from our closest star. I can see satelites being so numerous that they begin to reflect low altitude sunlight to higher altitude satelites, resulting in multiple anomalous signals and opticle abberations. It used to be that the night sky, as Timothy Ferris once said, was the greatest show in town. Now most people aren't even aware of it. All we see are screens and were loosing the sense of a much bigger picture of our existence. Being able to look back at our history is a gift that we should try our best to preserve. And it's so beautiful! So maybe it's worth spending billions of dollars on more fiber optic cables. If we don't do this satellite thing properly, we may one day not be able to leave our planet.

    How do you mean, as you approach the Big Bang? By "seeing" it with telescopes? Light, the electromagnetic radiation we know as the light started being so to say "visible" some 300.000- 350.000 years after the Big Bang. We can never see the actual big bang. If we had a way to "see" neutrinos, then maybe we could have seen deeper, and further, but our technology is not on that level, and taking into consideration how weird neutrinos are, I doubt that we will have "neutrino telescope" ever, or in foreseeable future.

    Dr. Hossenfelder I suffered with this buzzing and ringing for many years. Until recently. I started with the assumption that the sound in my head was not a true audio phenomenon. Since in my case the sound was a neurological issue. I once dreamed of a device that could create a sound 180 degrees out of phase with the ringing resulting in total cancellation of the sound. but to complete my epiphany. I essentially convinced myself that since the noise was only in my head that was where the solution lay. I lowered the volume to zero. So far I have experienced days of true quiet, if I feel it creeping back I repeat the exercise and make it recede.

    Yes, you have stumbled upon an evidence based treatment for tinnitus. There are specialized hearing aids that can provide such sound treatment after an audiologist tests your hearing and finds the tone that matches the pitch of your tinnitus. Also, since tinnitus is highly correlated with hearing loss, many people have found that just wearing hearing aids prescribed specifically to their hearing loss is enough to reduce the perception of tinnitus.

    I know this is a two minute news story, so this is not the place, but more explanation of the meaning of the absurd phrase "time ran slower" would be wonderful. Time didn't run more slowly in the early universe - time doesn't "run" at any speed, but rather defines what we mean by speed. I would love to hear you explain in more detail the tricky intricacies of relativistic time and distance, and their relevance to cosomological observation.

    Number (2) would make sense, if matter (gas/atoms/etc) is much closer together, the gravitational potential would be higher and so time would run slower. Makes you wonder - is it like 10% slower, 10x slower, or 10000 times slower? Was there a time-singularity at the beginning, or was there some finite, peak time dilation that was never exceeded?

    @@Niohimself If after 1.8 billion years, the universal time was still running 5x slower, time dilation could have approached infinity near the big bang rising to inifinity AT the big bang, meaning the big bang happened infinite planck time units ago. The Quantum gravity hunters will probably use this evidence to further their search for a fitting theory of quantum gravity. They will argue the Big Bang could never have happened infinity ago, because then we would not have reached this point in time yet. So on the other hand, if the big bang happened a finite number of years ago,. it means the big bang never started out as a singularity, and it would be a nice indicator that quantum gravity likely is a real thing.At this point, I'd like to think we are again smack bang in the middle of the lifetime of the universe - Heat death is expected in about 10^120 years, it would be fitting if they calculated that the big bang seemingly happened 10^120 years ago :) I do not believe in god, but I do believe there's more to this place than it lets on, meaning our reality/universe. There's more to explore in places we cannot even dream of yet. And the really, truly BIG scientific revelations are yet to come. All we, as a species, as guardians and protectors of this planet, need to do, is get past the great filter without too much damage.

    I have left several comments on this channel over the years wondering about time dilation in the early universe, glad to see it covered! To me, it was a simple explanation for the Hubble effect, that as we looked at more distant objects, the light they emitted had to "crawl" out of the gravity well of the big bang and was consequently red-shifted, whereas newer stars light did not have to do so. My (probably very naive) conclusion was not that the Universe was expanding at an increasing rate (it might be), but older objects simply emitted light that had to "fight" a much harder fight to make it to us than newer stars. I hope someone can tell me why this is wrong!

    The gravity well you described. We are still in it. Your theory would only work that way if we are observing the universe from the outside. Though time dilation would be a case. I get that you were doubting the theory of redshift being caused by expansion. I had the same doubts. But other theories. Until I learned about time dilation being the same concequence. Now the scientists have found a good way of determining this time dilation. And actually could start comparing this time dilation with the coresponding redshift. If the time dilation is a bit more or less than the redshift observed. They can start scratching their heads again. Maybe the denser universe did have a slower time. But it would only show time dilation, no redschift. Example (to mess with): The observed time dilation is roughly 5 times. But so is the redshift. If, let's say, the time dilation is 5 times, while the redshift is, let's say, only 4 times. Then the denser universe theory will get proof from this. At a distance of Z=4, we got 25% more time dilation caused by a denser universe.

    The average density would have to be close to a black hole or neutron star for this to be a significant factor. The absolute depth of the gravity well of the sun is much deeper than that of the early universe when you look at the average. The gravity of the universe is more like a bumpy road that has slightly more bumps in the past.

    I just asked a similar question. I don't know how the distribution of the mass of the early universe affects this... ie, if you're surrounded by the same amount of matter on all sides, the net gravitational effect might be zero (as it is at the Earth's center). IOW, unless a point "feels" acceleration due to gravity, then I don't think its clock is slowed down [relative to another point which does not "feel" that acceleration]. But I have no idea how the math works for a universe dense with mass and having no known boundary.

    Ok, I don't understand how the redshift - which happens over time and was NOT shifted in the past, caused things to be measured slower back then before there was a redshift. I don't know the physics here, but this seems to me to be a function of the observer's perspective, not the reality of time in the past. Time itself isn't slower or faster, it's just the yardstick by which events are characterized. There is no velocity to time, any more than a road has velocity when cars speed on it.

    @@KenOtwell Time is something of a river, but we are stationary in that river, it is flowing through us not as we are in a boat and go with time because if it was true we would be just in one moment in time, that is a simplified analogy. It is a simplified analogy, and not really good, because many things are affecting our perception of time, speed, gravitation... What she is trying to say is that we are seeing things like time was going slow because light waves are red-shifted, the Doppler effect, that same effect that we feel when a car is passing and the sound is higher when it comes to us, and the sound get lower when it passes us, that is Doppler effect, and because the light is an electromagnetic wave, it happens to light too, very fast objects that are going toward us would look blue-ish, and those who go with great speed away, red-ish, that is redshift. And because the waves are so to say stretched, we are just seeing like time in those galaxies. many billions of light years away which are receding is slower because light waves are red-shifted. It is not real, just the effect that we see.
