A Journey to the End of the Universe
Переглядів 9,416,551
День томуCould humans ever travel to other galaxies within their lifetime? The immense scale of the Universe seems to prohibit such voyages, after all the nearest galaxy is so far away that it takes light itself - the fastest thing in the Universe - 2.5 million years to complete the trip. Remarkably, there is a trick that might allow humans to accomplish this feat - join us today as we step onboard the constantly accelerating spaceship!

Part of me wishes that Prof. Kipping would be gobbled up to take up the mantle of DegrasseTyson. But then I remember that would likely mean he would have to sacrifice his valuable work and research in some way. I truly am thankful for finding this channel, as you say he is indeed the complete package. A voice that is easy to listen to, highly eloquent and is able to convey complex scientific information in a manner that my 10 year old niece can understand. Though the Prof owes me a lot of money, after finding his channel my love of space was reignited and magnified; so much so that I now spend most weekends (weather permitting) with my newly acquired Astro-photography setup. Lockdown and Kipping are to blame.

@WildWombats Рік тому
We all expect an end to this universe at some point. What I think about, however, is can we outlast our universe? When the universe ends, does that mean our story has to end too as humanity and the legacy with it? Some may argue there is no way possible. I would argue, you have quite the amount of time to figure such a problem out - trillions upon trillions of years. Well, 5 billion or so to get away from the Sun first before it engulfs our Earth but if we manage surviving that, our odds of survival beyond are hopefully pretty good at that point. I like to believe, somehow, someway, we can outlast this universe and live to the next universe to tell our tale. I understand the sheer amount of time it would take to even reach that point. But there could be alternatives. It might be that we can simply travel to another universe rather than wait for a new rebirth that may or may not ever happen. If you subscribe the multiverse theory, there's even variations of how multiverse works, but depending how you believe the multiverses work, I would hope we could manage to hop over to another universe before ours ends. Anyways main point of this rant, I hope for and believe that it would be Humanity's greatest achievement to outlast this universe and live to tell our tale in another universe and the fate that will inevitably befall their universe too. Once we've unlocked that secret, Humanity can live on forever.

So I've been teaching myself the concepts of astrophysics for the last 18 months. I've seen all your videos at least twice and now this for the third time, and it has brought tears to my eyes. It conjures up so many emotions I never thought possible from a science documentary. It puts everything in perspective and makes me wonder why people aren't celebrating this window of opportunity we call life each and every day!
@WildWombats Рік тому
As someone who teaches astrophysics, maybe you can either laugh at my silly notions or perhaps be inspired off of them, as I am not considering the possibilities of what we currently know, as I expect that what we know in billions to trillions of years from now (if we make it that long) will be far, far more advanced than what we know now. We only have record of humanity's writings within the past 6,000 years or so give or take. And civilizations were only formed in the hundreds of thousands of years ago range. Humanity hasn't even had so much as 1 million years together as a civilization, not even close. And humanity has only even had about 200 years to play with cool new technology like electricity. That's not a lot of time, and yet we have this expectation we should know everything by now when that couldn't be further from the truth. SO i'm sorry to preface with all of that but felt it was important to say. But my main point is this. Could we not outlive the universe? Is it impossible for us to do that? perhaps under our current understanding it might be, but I believe there's most likely a way to bypass the ending of the universe. If we believe multiverse is a thing, there's many variations of multiverse. Depending on the variation, why would it not be possible to simply travel to another universe before yours ends? Additionally, can we not figure some self-sustaining method without natural causes to generate energy to sustain us after the universe is gone until a new universe appears, even if it takes quintillions to unspeakable amount of years where time is meaningless at this point? The big problem with that posit is the fact that our current understanding would state energy would become a problem in the ending of the universe, but perhaps we don't understand the full scope or we can bypass some limitations in some way? All I would love is for humanity to outlast this universe and make it to the next to tell our tale about our pale blue dot.

The universe will never end since it never had a beginning. The universe will never forever be an empty black void; even if the universe keeps stretching thin and reaches to cold temperatures. I'm sure that there will be something that will spark it back into another big bang. Don't forget, we don't know absolutely everything and there's even studies suggesting the universe contracts and expands.

Unfortunately, this is pure science fiction. The "proven" "scientific" ideas --- equations, mathematics, methods, etc ---- to travel as he described here are 100% pure science fiction. Zero of it will ever be science. In real life, on large objects, getting them to go 1/2 of ONE PERCENT the speed of light will be close to impossible because of fuel problems, because of human frailty (through evolution, we've evolved to be extremely fragile, physiologically), and because of space "junk" (tony atomic and molecule and larger things that fly really fast every which way in the "vacuum" of space). There are many other problems --- in the 100% inhospitable "vacuum of space" --- but those three are among the Top 5 biggest challenges.... as to why HUMANS will never be able to build giant ships that go beyond 1/2 of 1% of the speed of light... so, again, the speeds "achieved using real science ideas" here is just pure thumb twirling by tenured professors and researchers who have hard core science fiction stuff going on in their heads. And THAT IS GOOD for us; it just is NOT science. The theoretical and engineering DIFFERENCES between (#1) lobbing a few tons of objects (of mostly electronic gadgets) into local space --- or even further afield --- and (#2) sending dozens to hundreds of humans on spacecraft weighing hundreds of thousands of tons that could grow its own foods onboard, traveling at 5%, 30%, 50% the speed of light, etc..... are in ORDERS of magnitude humans will never conquer, whether in 50, 100, or 5,000 years... Sending highly advanced sturdy, lightweight robots... sending pure uploaded human DNA (to hopefully be assembled by advanced alien species hundreds to thousands of years into the future)... or sending decently large and slow but well constructed spaceships that contain a few dozen humans that could reach the Alpha Centauri system in a few generations time.... and do that in the next 200 - 500's years, very possible... Anyway, I grew up on hard core science fiction --- having read over 2,000 books, since my early teens, from the gold age of science fiction of the 1930 - 60s... to the present --- so when I come across hard core science fiction ideas, I immediately spot them. Talking about using "matter-anti-matter," "anti gravity," "dark matter," "dark energy," etc as fuel is PURE Star Trek "Dilithium" stuff... again, that's NOT real science.

Don't blame them. Most people ---- outside of tenured astronomy professors and a few souls living off of the grids ---- don't have time to sit down to ponder about stars, giant filaments of galactic structures or even the millions of small molecular & atomic entities moving inside a single human cell, doing wondrous things for the human body, from cellular reparation to red blood & white blood cell activities to feed tissues & organs with oxygen as well as to fighting off foreign infections. Or how most telomeres slowly wear out, from aging and stress, no longer able to protect the ends of the chromosomal structures, after many cellular divisions and, as a result, we die... Human deaths are basically cellular deaths, in large scale... due to crucial cells unable to fight off infections, genetic disorders, or a combination of both... Some life forms, like some jelly fish like Turritopsis dohrnii, for example, could "revert" at the cellular level to earlier stages and restart their cellular growth like babies again..... & theoretically, there's nothing except being physically damaged or eaten that'd stop them from living "forever..." Anyway, most humans are too busy, too locked into their pursue of making a living, from those barely getting by from day to day to those like the Buffetts, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerbergs et al who're raking in tens of billions of dollar every month, due to tens of millions of army ants slaving away, taking turns doing 24/7 work for them. THAT is why mot of mankind's 7.8B people are still believing the same Stone, Iron, and Bronze age tribal fairy tales our remote ancestors believed in, in those millenniums in the past. When you struggle so much, so constantly, with so much to gain or to lose in material comfort, or in position of power.... you don't have quality time to reflect on bigger, smaller, and far away natural phenomena that are not easily pictured like the typical stories and pictures of angels, saints, holy prophets, divine entities, etc. engaging in movie-like activities for you, against you, or "up there" in imaginary paces where your beloved ones who've died have gone to, etc. We humans still are a relatively primitive species, even if the work of a few hard nosed, not easily swayed eccentrics, over the last 3,000 years, have shed some lights on Nature and some of her cycles, patterns, behaviors, and constituents...

According to religion everything has been created by God that includes everything even the laws of causation. Lets assume those events did happen in our ancestors” How would they notify the later generations??” Through religion of course there were no video cameras or computer existed. How would you explain cosmology and other scientific proofs mentioned in a book (Quran) more than 1400 years ago??. There is so much we don’t know and no it’s not our responsibility to know but rather believe. Why do we have these emotions that have nothing to do with living?? Like Right and wrong, Good and evil, Believe and disbelief, Birth and death, Love and hate, Life before death and life after death. Most key things exist in pairs. Why is that ?? We have two major organs in our body but only one heart?? There is so many questions are unanswered by science? Science only describes something that exist in way. It doesn’t describe why it exist. Why out of billion other possibilities that our fate chose the possibility of life?? Even within those billion possibilities there were billion more possibilities attached to it. Seems like a perfect design so we can come and enjoy. Our consciousness is the answer to everything. Use it wisely!!

I also got a very detailed grasp of string theory and quantum mechanics, and that experience has given me a lasting passion for this topic. Sometimes blessings are in disguise, truly.

What a load of theoretical nonsense! Sorry dude but people are waking up to the fact that the Earth is flat and stationary with space being a lie. I guess you can get away with doing this when the majority believe it but your time is almost up! People need to be shown so if our solar system is anything to go by when it’s closely looked at then the universe is just a story! Everyone needs to look on UKposts for, ‘Real stars and planets’ It will blow your mind I promise! It’s video footage from the legendary Nikon P900 high powered zoom camera of the luminaries😍 Tesla said it was an electric universe and once you see these images you’ll definitely agree. Or just type in Mars P 900 and tell me you think fElony Musk could shoot his load to a luminary!

I love you dude. This is amazing. Ive always had a picture of expansion and causal limits in my head and this helped flesh out parts of it. The only part i cant wrap my head around is inertial reference framing. Say you get to the mid way point going 0.99% the speed of light and see the red shift then stop accelerating, youd be at rest and your frame would be the same as the start? Im basing this on all inertial reference frames being at rest from the point of the observer within it. I dont know if that makes sense but some nights i see its all clearly as im falling asleep to lectures beyond my critical thinking and math heh.

The only video that i can say is the most important video someone can watch, ever. I knew that relativity and time dilation could cause chaos, but I never knew just how far it could take you. In a brilliant way, in the end, you will have outlived the universe. You would be the universe in fact, since nothing even exists besides you. Somehow this feels like the main quest to life.

Brings back memories of Poul Anderson's book Tau Zero, where Tau refers to the ratio of your actual velocity to C, the speed of light. As Tau approaches zero, your speed approaches C and time dilation means thousands, then millions, then billions of years are passing outside the ship. Also Heinlein's book where a scientific foundation subsidized sub light interstellar travel expeditions that with communication provided by telepathy between identical twins. At some point technology develops trans-light travel and the protagonists ship is met by such and returned home decades later.
@xellestar 6 місяців тому
This is the part that is not intuitive to me I think, I thought I was following the video, but then he describes traversing vast distances (billions of light years) while travelling less than the speed of light, but i would expect even travelling at the speed of light for that to take eg 1 billion years for 1 billion light years distance

"Infinity" can't "run away". I assume you're referring to movement of observable/finite mass. Didn't watch the whole video. But yeah, "infinity" doesn't have a size, it can't move in any direction because there is no border, however mass within it can.

Professor David Kipper is a wonderful speaker. The video & your comment: Mobile phones [whatever model] & chargers are so last light year 10 to the 53rd. I'd imagine other worldly intelligence, laughing [ or their humour equivalent response ] at our antiquated methods of communication. When being telepathic would be inborn to them. Finally, being long-winded with replies can be irritating to the reader i.e yourself, my apologies.

How you were explaining everything about existence of time itself and not even the speed of light could catch up with the end of time. Or, the beginning of time??🤔🧐🤷🏼♂️? Was mind boggling and bending but also fascinating!!! Best and longest journey I’ve ever been on through the universe!!
