This was the big question I had about Time, and I'm gratified to see my own head-spinning twists and turns in trying to understand it also plague scientists in the same way, and that there are no easy answers. It all comes down to relativity, I guess. We can only measure time against change, and without change, there's essentially no measurable time, even if there may still be time actually continuing on in an essentially invisible state. My theory has always been you can't have a universe without gravity. I think you also can't have a universe without time. Once gravity met time, a universe came into being.

If I say you are no more than group of some trillion atoms, would you despair? You likely won't, because it is the effect that matters, it doesn't matter what concept is used to provide continuity to your existence. Similarly, why would it matter if you're Boltzmann brain or not, you cannot distinguish either way, and the idea of you is continuous. I would even say we might as well be continuous over different concepts that can support the implementation of the idea of us, and Boltzmann brain happened to be one of them, where by continuity I mean the sense that you have experienced your past in a continuous manner without any gaps.

Amazing series, definitely blew my mind! You should turn these into podcasts, I'd listen again for sure! Cheers from Mexico City!

SO COOL RIGHT?!

I was fascinated by the idea of what's beyond the observable universe, because I too am convinced that there is more. As for not being able to know anything about the Unobservable Universe... I'm not sure how accurate that is. Sure we can't DIRECTLY observe it, because it's outside our light cones, but in theory, if we found something right on the edge of the Observable Universe, could we measure it's motion and gravity and use that to make inferences about what might be out there? We'd probably only get a very vague idea about the immediate boundaries, but since everything has it's own light cone, is it not possible to observe objects near the edge of one's light cone, and make inferences about the environment it finds itself in? Or maybe it's expanding away from us at such a rate that we can't see it due to light-shifting anyway... Either way, I think it's likely a misconception to imagine the Universe as a Closed System. I think it's more likely infinite, or has other parallel universes nestled next to it extradimensionally in ways that can affect each other. Perhaps Dark Matter/Energy is the effects of those other Universes rippling our SpaceTime.

I never did and still don't find any answers to the beginning or the end of the universe to be satisfactory. If time effectively stops after the heat death, what was the purpose of anything at all existing? I'm not asking in a human perspective, but rather just in the perspective of the entire universe. There's the saying "it's not the destination that matters, it's the journey along the way". But a journey only matters when it actually has an end. The heat death isn't really an end, it's more like an infinite pause. But suppose the Big Crunch happens: that also makes the entire part of the journey moot, because everything that ever happened was erased from history. And then there's the whole issue with the beginning of time, where somehow, the singularity exists. If nothing came before it and time can't move, how does the big bang ever happen?

@rylaczero3740

I don't know, man. But the idea where the idea of you exist infinitely is beautiful (not horrifying as the speaker says in video), and you are not just popping in and out, you are continuous, as you must have felt there are no gaps in history, so maybe all possible journeys that can be travelled by you will be travelled by you, is being unfolded through you, and you are free to choose whichever one version you want to experience through your actions.

Time didn't exist before the big bang, so there's no sense to ask what happened 'before' the big bang. Time ends when entropy ends, there's no change which is what we determine has time elapse. So if there's no atoms, no decay, nothing, then there's no time.

But there was a "before" the big bang. There was immense heat and energy ergo atoms had to have existed. There's also no way to say the big bang and heat death are singular events. Perhaps they have happened or will happen multiple times. It's as accurate to state an infinite amount of time passed before the big bang, as it is to state that no time passed at all.

When I was in gradeshool, they told me God created everything, and so I asked where God came from, and nobody could give me a satisfactory answer. So I thought about it, and somehow, an idea popped into my head, that if a bunch of particles were moving around for an unlimited amount of time, they would eventually form into an intelligence, that would become so bored that it would hallucinate the universe and develop multiple personalities. I kind of forgot about that until now.

Eternal recurrence isn't horrifying. It's a thought experiment to live such that if you were to experience eternal recurrence, that you would be satisfied with reliving the same life over and over again, more along the lines of living without regrets.

I wonder if you or Katie ever consider that our entire solar system is in a black hole. Maybe that’s why other galaxies appear to be getting farther apart. Since we don’t know much about black holes and we don’t know much about outer space... and everything else..., do you think that’s possible?

If I told the you all the big bang wasn't right you wouldn't hear me but I'm telling it's not right because it's a unknown .... Please hear me this once before you judge my words .. Before I begin telling you everything in my part bigger theory you need to know a few things about me .... I've sinned nearly Daly that I hate myself for never overcoming the worldly body that holds me down to this reality .... You can think I'm crazy for anything you want but that doesn't mean I'm not right when I tell you my thoughts .... I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ always but in times I'm ruled by my body that seeks wantings for a lustful thing that overwhelmed my mind .... But now that's clear to you that I don't lie nor do I want to lie to anyone so let me start the words I wanted to tell you .... Scientist and science tells us that the CMB is growing out in speed and is always getting faster but I'm telling you it's not all as one set speed in the reaches of space and everything your seeing is moving together at different times and speeds and the full body of the CMB isn't as one full picture, just like the ocean is wide and flowing.... The flowing space has bubbles that formed liken that of trash on the sea but yet it has bubbles that explode into galaxies and voids that look like fireworks 🎆 this all shows up but their not telling everyone about it.... I can see it in the stars that are like patterns ..... I can't tell you anymore because my brain just shut off on me and my big bang theory isn't the big bang theory , it's a flowing sea of void that gravity in energy from light and mass that work as one layer over the other again and again until it's light forms a endless loop in space and time.... Is there a bottom in the sea of space well maybe the Lord can tell us some day if that's even important to us in the after life we all will see some day ..... Have a wonderful time and I hope some day we all can enjoy a spirit life ..... Peace ✌️

But I really feel like tech has their ways to take anyone's time away for claiming others ideas and I'm not saying she took any of my stuff ... I'm not calling her a person that took any of my ideas ...... But may she think about the way I told about space as a bigger size space time wave that can have smaller ripples through them and it's liken a wave down deep in water but it's all space .... Note Also that gravity is layers of mass from locked energy that is also light inside of all mass but know mass isn't formed without energy
