Why is the Universe Breathtaking? | Episode 702 | Closer To Truth

I look up and I look down and I chill with awe. I look up to the universe and envision hundreds of billions of galaxies. I look down to the atom and imagine minuscule, infinitesimal particles and forces. This is reality. Featuring interviews with Frank Wilczek, Steven Weinberg, David Finkelstein, Seth Lloyd, Freeman Dyson, and Saul Perlmutter.

    if only you had some clear idea what you mean by " the universe but you are about to demonstrate that you have no clear idea what you mean by " the universe" by signally failing to set out what you mean by " the universe" or seek to convey when you use the term? For you it is no more than a vague generalised or unfocused idea(a woolly mental image) is it not? It cannot be anything but that for you can surely not experience what ever you mean by " the universe" as whatever you*imagine-and it can only be imagination, it to be. Bits of it surely but whatever it actually might be in your imagination as -a- whole, plainly not. All universals can only possibly be imaginary in the sense that they cannot be directly immediately personally experienced, which is what imaginary means. You creature waffle and bleat about what you call" the universe", but if asked to set out clearly exactly what you mean by" the universe" or seek to convey what you mean by the term, you demonstrate that you have no idea by signally and invariably failing to do so, presumably because you have only a vague unfocused idea of whatever it might be. Is that not exactly correct?

    Why is the Universe breathtaking? Or awe-inspiring? Only because we humans as sentient, conscious creatures exist to observe and appreciate it. Before the existence of sentient observers, the universe was in an ultimate superposition of probability - a state of uncollapsed pre-entanglement with any conscious quantum mechanical system. In other words, we are the ones who make the universe “breathtaking” by virtue of our own existence in a “participatory universe.” Many thanks for you video contribution.

    Our life change with every new discovery and each little invention, but human condition depends on great revolutions that come very rare. What do i mean by this distinction, inventions are improvements most of the times, revolution is discovery of another medium or aspect of reality we can populate with our intelligent constructs. Look at how discovery of a wheel changed human civilizations, resistance can be variable and inertia can travel over curved paths, this is the essence of a wheel. It doesn't matter what we have done with a wheel so far, important is how so many humans have thought about this physical concept and how knowledge of wheels is integrated into our way of living and thinking. Same goes for steam,than electricity and now quantum, information sciences, it's not what people discovered about them and what was engineered, important is how we understand this part of reality dimension. If we know what electricity is, we can use electricity everywhere in the universe, just like wheels carry Mars rover over surface of another planet. From perspective of revolutionary discoveries, not much of reality has been revealed to us so far, only most obvious aspects. What will be the next big thing, could be gravity waves, if what is actually moving is space time itself. If we can detect it, perhaps we can make space and time change according to our desires by some not yet invented technical means. Or will it be new James Webb telescope, if we can see unknown physical forces and chemistry acting on another worlds, perhaps we can use those principles to influence weather in our atmosphere. Or we could spot alien installations and learn how to build and thrive in vacuum of space. What i try to say is, it's not so much about invention themselves but what only certain ideas make possible for all of us. Science can work like that, it's empirical knowledge, must proceed from previously made step, can't jump and skip things leading to new dimension of understanding. So what makes big ideas possible than, if not slow progression of hierarchically structured knowledge? I have no idea, you tell me, since one of us will come up with something truly revolutionary some day by himself, derived from process of own creative imagination and independent from universal sphere of scientific knowledge, but equally real and experimentally verifiable. We know one mythological concept that can make all secrets hidden inside things revealed, it's called philosopher's stone. And it's not just a myth, it was a real revolutionary discovery that made modern science possible. But now it seems it was also our greatest blunder, since evolution of epistemological knowledge lead us from ancient Egypt and Greece straight into a dead end street of modern theoretical cosmology. Universe is not things inside other things, reality is not build from tiny bricks, this means universe did not explode into existence and will not vanish into a big rip. Imagine a dimension of energy potentials, becoming quarks and those becoming hydrogen, a substance all other elemental substances emerged from, to became a living processes. Quarks became hydrogen atoms, space expended and it expanded again once protons became complex elements. Each time stuff became more dense and complex, more empty space between them emerge from a physical process. Because gravity, since this is how we call causal events over distance, i guess. But as a philosopher this makes me think on alternative explanation of gravity, it's not a causal influence emerging from property of mass but a force of cosmic evolution, things are attracted because this is what universe want to do with atomic elements. No wonder universe leave us breathless, process of creation was never completed, universe doesn't exist in it's final form, we are a part of metamorphosis into something completely different..

    @@xspotbox4400 Dark Energy is not "energy" in the common sense of the word. In General Relativity, it's modelled as the Cosmological Constant, and doesn't enter the energy-momentum tensor. There is no "potential" associated to it and it doesn't "flow" anywhere, since it is simply an attribute of the vacuum. The universe is not only energy, space and time are still fundamental in both GR and QFT. There is no currently working theory where spacetime is emergent from energy/mass (although there are some candidates).

How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort, when He created all things and is Aware of all things? Quran 67:3 who created seven heavens one upon another. Thou seest not in the creation of the All-merciful any imperfection. Return thy gaze; seest thou any fissure? Quran 67:4 Then return thy gaze again, and again, and thy gaze comes back to thee dazzled, aweary.

You creatures bang on about what you call " the universe" and simply *assume not only that you know what you mean by and that others do as well, but if asked can never answer.

    "One day Newton was in his study reading when his friend came to visit him. His friend saw the model and instantly recognized what it was. As he slowly cranked the model he studied it closely. He said to Newton, "This is tremendous! Who made it?" "Nobody," Newton answered without looking up from his book. His friend turned to him with a confused look and said, "You must not have heard me. I asked, 'Who made this wonderful model?'" Looking up, Newton said with a perfectly straight face, "Nobody made it. Those balls and gears just appeared and put themselves together!" His friend, now quite upset, said, "You must think I'm a fool! Of course somebody made this! He's a genius, and I'd like to meet him!" Newton set his book aside and slowly walked across the room to his friend. As they stood in front of the model, Newton explained to his friend, "This model is just a poor imitation of our wonderful universe. You know the laws and the precise order which govern our universe. I can't seem to convince you that this model, this toy, does not have a designer or a maker. However, you have said many times that the solar system, which this model represents, 'just happened.' Now tell me, is that the logical conclusion of a scientist?"

    Wha is quantum so hard to understand. Take a look at your monitor, a very close look, it's made from tiny bits, glowing when charged by electricity. Those pixels are artificially made, screen doesn't move, every pixel is attached to a processor that control amount of charge making this tiny bit of material glow with distinctive color. Electric charge is refreshing and changing so fast our eyes can't see those tinny pulses of energy. Pixels are made from quantum particles, some are contained inside atoms of silica, others fills space around nucleus and can absorb and emit electric pulses. Here we must use another thought image, we can see how bunch of atomic dust assembled into a computer screen pixel get charged all at once, but we can't see how atoms vibrate in space. This bits of stuff are so tiny they can move at distance almost instantaneously, atomic distances are so short it's simply impossible to see quantum motion. Particles are even much more weird than that, but this thought model should be enough to get a better impression of idea why reality is so strange and how fast everything around us and inside us move, at all times. Difference in matter and living system is in a process, atoms of material objects can remain there forever since they just jiggle at place if no external forces are acting upon them, atoms inside a living body gets constantly replaced and exchanged with environment. There are three things at play, electricity of our thoughts, material stuff of the universe and a physical process we experience as life.
