I have a question about elementary particles such as electrons as well as various quarks as well as neutrino particles As well as the article and antimatter Like the anti-electron positron And also the counter quark The question is about why these particles differ in rotation, mass, and charge We hope you find smart plans to reveal the secret of the difference between the elementary particles Was the difference between the particles due to the difference in the proportion of energy in the universe? Why are the primary particles different in mass, charge, and rotation? The third question Are there smaller molecules responsible for this difference? Please communicate my three questions to physicists

== The Conglomerate - Universe Creation Theory (combining GOD, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and Chaos Theory) "The BIG Bang-Bit Bang inflation/expansion of energy and information into the void 13.8 billion years ago was a supermassive white hole spawned by a supermassive black hole at the heart of a galaxy in our 'parent universe'. This duality combines general relativity’s singularities of infinite density in a ‘Cosmic Egg’ birth of this and all universes within 'The Conglomerate': multiverse without random bubble universes and parallel worlds. Our Universe is inside the Planck density of that SBH and shares the same event horizon. That SBH-SWH seed phase transition was a 'quantum tunneling umbilical wormhole' with energy-matter and data transformed/transferred, albeit scrambled and encoded. Our Universe is 1-in-2 trillion 'self-similar offspring' each with the same inherited physical laws (‘DNA’). This simple cause-and- effect cycle/'circle of life' - birth-life-death-transformation-rebirth - explains both infinite space and eternity.

Great stuff as always, one thing I would add is the misconception of the "before" the big bang people often have as well. Time-space is not a separate phenomenon so when space is condensed to a tiny speck, time also behaves differently and so time very likely began with the expansion itself. There most likely was no "before" the big bang as time simply didn't exist.

Hello Dr Lincoln. First of all I am a very big fan of you and also Fermi lab☺️☺️. Your video series about so many topics on particle physics and cosmology where you explain them simply but not too simple is really fascinating ☺️. I have some questions that I do want to ask you but I don't know how much valid are they. 1. I have heard that electrons does not have any size but they contain mass and charge. So don't they create singularity? How are they different from a miniscule black hole? 2. Does big bang violate the known conservation laws? Will quantum gravity theories always maintain the known conservation laws? 3. As much as I know which can be wrong the velocity of light in free space from every frame of reference is always constant. So how does velocity can be constant when it is relation between distance and time (I don't know if I said it correctly) 4. Also in the movie interstellar Cooper jumps into the black hole in hope of knowing about singularity and thus solving quantum gravity. But doesn't studying the wormhole which is created by using the laws of quantum gravity help them more to solve the mystery?

Thanks for hitting so many misconceptions in one video.

How he keeps shrugging... "Sorry to blow your mind... again." Priceless!

i love your honest admissions and i wish you good health for years to come :)

Thanks for your videos and for this explanation... I like your mindset about rather focusing on what we don't know, focus on what we do know and awe about this wonderful universe we live in... but then can't help think how this precious knowledge doesn't serve us to see the same beauty about our existence in this planet and that we still fight for land, resources, territories, power... How can that be

I liked the subtle difference you revealed about what big bang theory is and what it is perceived as. Keep making such videos Dr Don.

Dr. Don Lincoln is simply the best explainer of cosmology out there. Always 100%

Really looking forward to the potential follow up video on before the big bang.

Enjoyed alot Great explanation

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure what the difference between expansion and inflation was until now - I'd thought they were pretty much synonymous with each other (as a matter of fact/event, as opposed to being just words describing a similar concept). I really enjoy your talks, so please continue making physics understandable - at least at this level. I wouldn't dream of saying I understand it academically LOL. Cheers!

But here it was explained for me that the “observable universe” was the size of a “proton” but possibly existing within an unobservable and possibly infinite universe. And the Big Bang is what happened after inflation ended at around T=10^-32 secs. I’m giddy after this clarification.

Thank you for explaining these concepts in a way that we ordinary folk can understand. I've been watching the PBS videos about space and quantum physics, and I have no idea what the narrator is talking about.

Very informative and high quality.

I was there. It really was a BIG bang! Take my word for it....

Excelente explicação 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎓👨🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🎓

Exelent video! Congratulations!

Thanks for the videos.

"Well nobody was there at the time, so we can't possibly know anything" If someone told me that I would ask them, if your house got robbed and nobody was there at the time, but there *was* any kind of DNA to trace back to the culprit, would you dismiss it because simply nobody was there at the time? 0:37

Yeah I'm afraid people claiming this are never going to learn anything. So with that logic, there were no dinosaurs, right? Even though we found their fossils.

@Johnny Mnemonic Well, see, you are kind of committing a false analogy fallacy because we aren't talking about DNA when we talk about the big bang; We are talking about electromagnetic radiation from the CMB.

Love your videos. I do not have a scientific background. I only got through high school physics 40 years ago, but I enjoy expanding my knowledge of the world in which I live. Question: The inflation idea sounds wild! But, knowing how powerful it was, why did it last for only the briefest period of time? It seems like something this powerful would be difficult to stop.

Dr Alan guth from MIT proposed the inflation theory. In the 1980's . He stated, ( I am paraphrasing. ) the expansion was do to inflation where the forces .Weak and strong were moving faster than lightspeed. He than went to say the reason that inflation only lasted for a short time was do part of light coming into existence. So the reason why inflation didn't break the laws of physics.was light was not in existence. And once light came into existence it put the brakes on inflation.

I absolutely enjoy these videos. Thank you so much.

mind blown! Thanks again, Dr. Lincoln!

The more I learn about the big bang the less I know about the big bang!

Time is quantized, too. The Plank time unit is 10^(-43) seconds and prof.Lincoln says we can't know nothing betwee t = 0 and t = 10^(-43)s. A quantum gravity theory could help, but it doesn't exist yet

Don Lincoln says optimistically - "Imagine what we'll know a century from now..". I add rather pessimistically "... if we continue to exist, that is..."

Great approach and presentation !

Excellent lecture about this unique event! I like very much the factual way you explain all those theories, which are not easy to understand, because they overcharge our imagination! You are an excellent teacher, by the way ... Best regards from Switzerland

Wouldn’t it be more correct to say that the Big Bang is the expansion of spacetime? And as you go back, wouldn’t the increase in energy density cause time to dilate to the point where there never was a beginning? 🤯

Come here to ask this - kind of. At the speed of light and/or beyond, would the time component related to 'Earth seconds' be incredibly dilated? Trying to get my head around this in that at the speed of light, the universe would only be a few hours old from the light photon's perspective. 'Big Bang' was possibly only 'this morning'. Our cold energy that has dropped out of the speed of light and cooled to form matter is basically frozen 'in time' from the photon's perspective. This is way above my pay grade but a fascinating topic to learn about from reliable sources.

You actually just described a black hole! Indeed, a black hole singularity and the Big Bang "singularity" are the exact same idea, for the most part. From our reference frame far away from the super dense region (big bang or black hole), we never actually see the total collapse of objects. So, if we were watching the big bang in reverse from super far away, we would never see everything collapse that far (if that's what actually happened).

ANGRYpooCHUCKER Not the same thing. Black holes don’t expand and all the space of our universe lies within the space of the Big Bang so one can’t observe the Big Bang from the outside.

@@karagi101 That's one interpretation of the big bang, sure. But Stephen Hawking formulated his idea of the big bang singularity by noticing that it behaves awfully similar to a black hole. If you take a bunch of stuff (even the entire universe) and compress it down, you end up with a singularity (or something like it as scientists don't actually take mathematical singularities to mean anything physically). Also, according to some popular big bang models, the universe may in fact be infinite and all of the "stuff" that came from the big bang was just that: stuff. There was still space outside of that region. ALSO ALSO, even if that's not the case, there's nothing stopping us from assuming a reference frame outside of the big bang even if it does represent the entire universe. IF we do assume that reference frame, as Hawking did, then watching the big bang in reverse is identical to watching a black hole form.

After the number line explanation, every time you say "the universe" I feel like you should be saying "the visible universe"

Massive fan Don. Keep the videos comming.

They are very efficient at dissipating useful energy and increasing the overall entropy of the universe ;)

It's beautiful to be able to relax in an alternative-facts-free zone like this and just let your mind enjoy itself.

Inane comments as usual... I really liked your delivery of the subject. I understand where our knowledge of cosmology stands much more clearly now. ..I am still waiting with bated breath for the launch of the James Webb telescope...

THanks so much for making us understand hard complex ideas :)
