The Great Attractor
Переглядів 2,475,544
День томуNo matter where you are, you are always moving. The Earth orbits the sun, and the sun moves round the galaxy. But what is it that makes the galaxy move? That is going to be our topic today. Everything in our local galaxy supercluster, Laniakea, is being dragged towards a very high concentration of mass hidden behind the plane of our galaxy. It has all the ingredients for an epic space mystery, it is the Great Attractor.

But even if we get to space, we still won't be able to discover every fact, because there's always more to explore. Which is itself frustrating. And even if we became so advanced that we'd know about every scientific fact about every dimension and reality, then we'd be frustrated by the fact that there's nothing left to explore. Which is more frustrating than anything. The human mind is doomed to eternally search for something more and sulk with boredom when there's nothing left. That's why it's crucial to appreciate the things which are familiar to you, because ultimately everything becomes familiar.

This video somewhat validated me, since I had the thought all of my own accord that seemingingly everything in the universe seems to orbit something of a massive relative mass .. moons around planets, planets around stars, stars around black holes at galactic centres.. even neutrons around atomic cores seems to be a fixed pattern... So cool to see that concept validated on a greater scale ..
@voice-less 2 роки тому
Stars don't really orbit the black holes at the centre of the galaxy, Black holes don't have anywhere near the mass necessary to make galaxies form, stars just orbit the centre of mass of the entire galaxy, affected by literally everything with mass in said galaxy, and that balances out over billions of years creating uniform motion in the spiral pattern you're used to seeing galaxies form. Neutrons, Electrons and protona follow a different kind of laws so they're not really that similar, but yeah, because gravity, the less dense regions of space will always be attracted to the more dense regions, leading to star formation, solar system formation, galaxy formation, cluster formation and so on, as long as gravity has enough time to reach somewhere in space, it will always cause this pattern

Thank you. In my experience in pop science (non-academic sources, chains of youtube videos, reddit threads) it isn't well phrased that the nature of The Great Attractor is much more well understood than it was decades ago and is still presented as an ongoing mystery where we have no idea what it could very well be and is nothing like we've ever seen. It may seem more viscerally interesting at first to believe that whatever lies beyond the zone of avoidance also lies beyond our established understanding of the universe, but you (and your collaborators and sources together) have successfully written and produced a journey where it is just as viscerally rewarding to understand what, why, and especially how we come to shine a light on previously unknown knowledge. That's great science ambassadorship.

One of THE best and most illuminating videos I have ever seen -- on UKposts or anywhere else. Beautifully visualised, to an excellent, clear and well-spoken script. Congratulations to all concerned! (When something is so PERFECT, I tend to notice tiny, unimportant things; so ... just one little quibble. In the Hawaiian language, 'Laniakea' should be pronounced 'Lannia-Kay-ah' -- see the pronunciation of the extinct volcano upon which all those wonderful telescopes are built ... Mauna Kea ['Mone-a Kay-ah"). I must learn the Phonetic Alphabet some time!

This is a really good explanation for a particular “object”. It feels like we’re focusing on a particular and relevant subject, like how good lore videos are told on a piece of fiction is told. Even heavily acknowledging what we don’t know. Something similar to “soft worldbuilding lore”.

The horrifying truth is the so-called Great Attractor is a celestial monster of inconceivable mass that eats entire solar systems for breakfast. It's so big that its food literally comes to it. Fortunately, the cosmic time frames involved mean we have somewhat more immediate issues to concern ourselves with, like why I always end up with one odd sock after the weekly laundry wash.

I don’t think that’s true. Personally, radiation is the closest to magic. I have been having the idea that radiation is correlated with the passage of time. Since we created a time crystal by blasting metal with an insane amount of radiation, I’ve been pondering if the fact that there is an entire background of radiation in our universe and how maybe that can be associated with the passage of time somehow. What if the universe is just a massive time crystal and will eventually cycle back to the beginning and repeat itself all over again?

This video finally gave me the concept of how enormous space really is. The number of light years from place-to-place doesn't really do it since I have no way to compare that to any distance I do understand, but this topic, with it's carefully graduated widening of view led me to see space in a new way with it's interconnectivity over such immense distances. Also, the clips of the strands involved in a supercluster and then multiple superclusters made me realize just how miniscule Earth and our solar system is.
