If the James Webb space telescope is able to see galaxies billions of years in Earths past, then those same galaxies in Earths past would be able to see the Milky Way galaxy billions of years in the future before it existed duh. Running in reverse is even more crazy. If galaxies are billions of years in each others past then both clocks are ticking slower so their time would be moving backwards. Anyone can be naïve, it takes endurance to be ignorant. You can lead a cult to water but you can't make them think 🙂. Maybe images of Hollywood actors can appear to be on billions of TV screens any time we want but physical matter cannot! Visible light and radio waves are part of the same electromagnetic spectrum. If a galaxies light is billions of light-years in Earth's past (no longer there) then radio waves would allow people on Earth to contact dead aliens billions of light-years in Earth's past! Einstein's Rainmen never seem to get the joke. Our eyes only retain light and images for 15 ms, if the light and images from galaxies are ( no longer there billions of years in Earths past ) the sky's would be dark.. Images of light cannot travel for billions of years without an energy source. When you don't pay your electric bill, the lights go out duh. If Einstein's space-time were true we wouldn't need the James Webb space telescope to see the light from Earth's past, we'd just use our eyes to see yesterday's light on our TV's and lamps. Why pay for electricity when Einstein tells us we can see yesterday's light today?! Anyone using GPS astronomy software, a computerized GoTo telescope or equatorial mount can disprove General, Special relativity and big bang in less than 30 seconds by simply dialing in the coordinates. The wisdom of a fool always hides in plain sight 🙂. If Einstein's space-time were true we'd be blinded by the light from Earth's past, yesterday's light would still be on our, TV's, PC's cell phones and lamps. Einstein knew the light from Earths past would keep him up at night so he always made sure to wear a sleeping mask. Even tho the gravity in a black hole is a weak force it compresses matter to infinite density while anti-gravity blasts out the same matter it compressed at the speed of light.. Explain why (only) light and images from galaxies billions of years in Earths past time travel into our future but not the gravity, electromagnetic forces and galaxies that also reside in the same space-time. Ghosts are believed to appear as images of light from Earths past as well. Sorry folks Einstein’s ghosts from galaxies past cannot travel anywhere because the past no longer exists. The images taken with the James Webb space telescope are in real time. Special relativity says that a clock attached to a moving object will tick at a slower rate than one standing still. Explain how the moving clock can tick slower while both clocks are moving forward in time. Our universe is traveling in an element of space that existed before the universe so logically we cannot conclude the Big Bang was the beginning if time. If time expanded from a big bang at the speed of light by 360°x360° the earliest galaxies in Earths past would now be in Earths future before time existed. If the speed of light is finite (limited) to 186,000 mi./s explain how images of stars, planets and galaxies could reach their destination when cosmological objects are moving apart from each other at light speed in a big bang expansion? Automatic tracking?! This this is like throwing a ball to a catcher that that has left the baseball field, billions of light years in Earths past 🙂 These same people also believe the universe is flat as a shoebox while expanding at 360°x360° . Disciples, remember thy 1st commandment, thou shalt not question thy lawgiver of relativity for blasphemers are the devil's pawn. The universe can neither create itself from nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing. Space Cat, cult intervention specialist.

[@Wanted797]

The part that I never hear mentioned is how space and time flip when entering a black hole. In our current universe we perceive space as something we can move about in, while time is a constant or 4th dimension we can only move forwards through. General Relativity tells us that a black hole bends spacetime so much that once you cross the event horizon, space and time flip and the singularity that is pulling you in, is no long a point in space, but a moment in time and is your inevitable future. But we have to consider has time flipped as well and future now = past. So if the inside of a blackhole is the opposite in perception to our current universe, we could assume if we are in a black hole it's going to look the opposite as well. We perceive black holes as pulling things IN to a singularity. From the inside that will look like (with spacetime flipped) expanding out, the singularity won't look like a point in space, but a moment in time (the Big Bang).

[@osylphx]

If this is true, then it's assumable that within each black hole observable to us, there is a "mini" universe (mini relative to us). Also, if this is true, it's further validates the concept of a fractal universe, whereby a universe contains multiple universes within it, and that universe is inside another universe along side other universes... bubbles within bubbles within bubbles, forever and ever... Love it!

[@vladimirlegrand2917]

Not mini, but as large than our, or maybe larger. And certainly with more complex physical laws derived from our universe's

[@gnomebanta2297]

Is it possible black holes create universes proportional to the matter they contain, and only truly massive and old black holes have “eaten” the right/enough material to create universes complex enough for life? Our universe could have been born into the unimaginably massive black hole at the end of a previous universe, the mother black hole “dying” from hawking radiation but creating new spacetime out of the extreme time dilation & density, allowing matter to exist how we know it. Perhaps matter would not be possible without this process. our universe will end the same way, all black holes fusing into one massive object, perhaps allowing the creation of the next universe like an infinitely layered and evolving onion. Perhaps they would all end at the same moment, or maybe the inner chambers “collapse” first. Interesting topic!

[@chad0x]

At the moment of the universe coming into existence, all the matter was packed tightly into a tiny amount of space. Sounds like a black hole to me!

[@bizbizley]

The universe didn’t come into existence via a ‘big bang’. Read Penrose…. There was a massless ‘cool’ universe made up of only photons (no mass) before the ‘big bang’ occurred. The Big Bang only shows us the observable universe. So, if time is a property of the universe we’re missing something. I’m not trying to be at all clever, and if you can put me right please do. Kind regards God.

The question I have then is if the math adds up. Does the entropy of the universe resemble Hawking Radiation that black holes emit as they decay? If so then I'd say it's pretty good evidence. Far from definitive, but strong.

[@karstenschuhmann8334]

The idea of a singularity is purely theoretical. What is inside of a black hole cannot be observed. It is more likely that we just have a flip of a space dimension with time.

[@chrisarnold769]

It's far easier than you think, guys. Time is moving backwards for us. As you approach an event horizon from the outside, time slows until it stops. What happens on the inside? As you move towards the singularity, time moves more quickly in reverse. Think about what the big bang looks like in reverse... Makes a lot of sense that the big bang was not the beginning, but rather the end of time.

[@polyluchsshroud6918]

Why do you think the time moves reverse inside a black hole?

[@chrisarnold769]

@polyluchsshroud6918 Because flipping the time axis fits our observations in our own universe. We know that Hawking Radiation causes the evaporation of black holes. So, the end of a black hole from our outside perspective would be the final fall of an antimatter particle into its singularity. That collapses the event horizon, ending that 'universe' with its own reversed timeline & space-time. We also know that smaller black holes evaporate faster. Think about how that universe would appear to its own inhabitants if the end as we know it was their beginning. It explains our own universe. From apparently nothing, suddenly the existence of a white hole (big bang) which is just a time-reversed black hole singularity, rapid expansion of space-time which is the time-reversed collapse of an event-horizon, an outer event-horizon that moves away faster than light (i.e. light from earth will never reach the edge of the observable universe because that space is already moving away from us as space expands between us at faster than the speed of light). This thought experiment requires the mental ability to run our own universe both backwards and forwards through time, and then think about the ultimate end of black holes as outer observers then running that backwards in your imagination as an inside-observer.

[@11enzo11]

One of the best topics in science right now. So glad their are finally videos a talks about it.

[@artyman10]

Universe expansion to our eyes could be contraction of a black hole. Every black hole in every universe is smaller and smaller. That means if you go further and further backwards, the universes get bigger and bigger. To what? A possible creator? Or follow it through to the end, when will a universe no longer be large enough for even a black hole. Is that where you find divinity?

[@Martimus98]

This idea could actually answer a lot of unanswered questions about the beginnings of the universe. A massive star collapses onto itself and creates a singularity. That singularity contains a huge amount of compressed mass and energy. The singularity was the foundation for the big bang. It's also the foundation for the creation of a black hole. As such, maybe what we describe as the big bang was actually the creation of a black hole from the inside. The transfer of mass and energy from the singularity into the black hole (our universe) would follow along with the principals of "conservation of energy" and "conservation of mass". Inflation would follow along with the growth of the black hole. I have no clue whether or not there is any truth to this but it'll be interesting to hear future scientific debate on the subject.

You don’t hear discussions about it, because science generally dismiss this idea. Contrary to what the video says, physicists actually don’t support this idea. Sure there are some mathematical similarities. So as there are similarities between an orange and the Earth, but it doesn’t make Earth an orange… There are actually more differences between the universe and black holes than similarities. For example matter in the universe flows outwards, whole in black holes it falls inwards. However, scientists don’t completely dismiss the idea. If there are some mathematical similarities, then some equations of the black holes may be reused for the universe, even if these are not the same things.

Black holes are not hollow for objects. The edge of a black itself has points of space zero-time zero for any object and beyond this line it is a processing dark matter curing to become space-time medium itself.

I get the horizon parallel, I think.

Thus the center of the object is approaching a singularity (I try not to believe in actual singularities or infinities, just as getting closer to the limits).

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Yeah, I don't truly believe in actual singularities, but I don't necessarily disbelief the idea of the "singularity" simply being where space and time completely break down. A black hole being quite literal, a hole in space that we can never actually fall through (only toward) until we are ripped to shreds. This all reminds me of the big rip theory. Maybe the ultimate fate of the universe is as far as we can ever fall into the black hole. And perhaps the big bang is a white hole?

The older I get the more apparent it becomes to me that the distance we should be considering is the distance in size from our point to the infinitely small and to the infinitely large.

Our entire visible universe is probably infinitely small from another vantage point, and our subatomic particles are probably infinitely large from a vantage point.

The idea that the entire universe could be inside a black hole is a fascinating hypothesis with intriguing implications. This notion suggests that our cosmos might be a "baby" universe contained within the event horizon of a larger, parent black hole. Such a perspective offers a novel way to link black hole physics with cosmological models, potentially reconciling certain aspects of quantum gravity and general relativity. If our universe is indeed within a black hole, what might this reveal about the nature of space, time, and the possible existence of other universes beyond our own?

Great video! I ‘ll throw just a silly “what if” idea out there, but what if the universe is like a large pack of dough. It is concentrated at first and everything is packed together tightly and then it expands and opens and spreads while there is still elasticity and resistance in its surface like a fabric. That could account for the attraction that is currently explained by dark matter as it would keep things closer together but at the same time it doesn’t block expansive tensions.

[@robo3715]

[@GronTheMighty]

There is a Big Rip theory concerning the possible end of the universe's expansion resulting in and end to everything where even fundamental particles are too spread apart to interact anymore and accelerate still further away ad infinitum, as per my understanding of it, somewhat similar to a doughy mass that rises but rises beyond how far the stuff it's made of can stretch, so it disintegrates without ceasing to exist as such, but don't take my brain farts for a truth, read on it; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip

[@memitim171]

As far as we know it doesn't actually 'stretch' out, there is no point of expansion where the fabric of reality is torn apart or anything like that, what actually seems to happen is new space is created in between areas of existing space, it can expand forever and there doesn't seem to be an issue with this.

[@psrp4]

When I watch this type of videos I always remember a weird theory I thought some time ago and never told anyone nor put it into words until now:(warning if anyone reads this, english is not my native language) -Possible theory of gravity and time: at the big bang, time and space began(outside the bubble of the big bang time doesn't exist similar to the inside of a black hole), space expanded at the speed of light, and there was only energy in space at the beginning. When matter began to form also gravity appears. Everything travelling at the speed of light is timeless, the clock stops(light is timeless)(Theory of relativity), there’s no time inside black holes (timeless), time near a black hole passes slower. If the effect of gravity travels at the speed of light (important), here is a theory that gets in my head with all the previous data and when watching astronomy programs like this one, hard to put in words but here it goes: Space expands at the speed of light in every tiny bit of space, and this can be observed by lighting a match. In other words, light is the fingerprint of space expansion(like rain in a calm lake), so space expansion overlaps in every 'inch' of space and all this chaos of space expansion ends up as equilibrium as we see in the vacuum of space. -Equilibrium except when there is matter. The effect of space expansion, reflects in matter as time(important). Gravity effect is directed to the point where less space is being created. Matter, blocks this space creation(and expansion(lighting a match)) breaking the space equilibrium and producing gravity, because if there is less space being created in earth core and every place where there is matter, then there is more space being created in earth orbit (and expanding towards earth)therefore gravity comes from space!!! Inside black holes matter is very compact and there is no space being created, therefore the time stops and so light doesn't escape black holes because light travels only where space is created. There’s a big disequilibrium on the frontier of a black hole due to creation of space outside and not in the black hole therefore there is lots of gravity near the black hole).(also time slows near places where less space is created). Light escapes stars because they are not compact enough so space is still being created inside to transport the light. This theory might explain why galaxies are getting further from each other at an accelerated pace and how galaxies maintain its matter without the need of black energy and black matter respectively. Also this is a theory formed by a spectator of astronomy programs, and this theory possibly already exists and was already disproved, possibly only I find it interesting and it might be discarded easily by an expert. I only put it here because I don’t know anyone with this kind of interests to discuss if this theory is plausible.

[@chadriffs]

I've seen the Brian Greene video on the same subject, but my theory is that we are in an expanding white hole whose beginning was our big bang and all the rest of it but the inflation that surpassed the plasma explosion/generation or the Big Bang is an Eternal Inflation and is what our visible universe is traveling through at a slower expansion, from the plasma density, but increasing from the pull of inflation. This background I call Tension Dark Energy/ TDE also caused spin from any dense matter that would drag against this TDE flow and that's why things spin, which leads to form, mass, sentience, time and consciousness at its most fundamental form.

[@isetmfriendsofire]

What if the big bang is a white hole, and the big rip is us approaching the event horizon of the black hole? It's almost like these events in time, the big bang, and the possibly eventual big rip, are actually locations in space, inside the white and black holes. And then locations in space are actually events in time. Light never gets to us instantly. When we look at far away locations in space, we are looking backwards in time.

Does it's gravitational pull reduce over time? 2) Does a black hole ever get to the point the gravitational pull ceases to impact the space/time continuum and thus is no longer a black hole?? Cheers

I had similar thoughts. But if all the matter of the black hole now is the stuff we see around us, then the black hole is not outside of us, we are the back hole (in as much as one of the atoms in our body is part of us). So why would there be a force pulling everything outwards? Perhaps the gravitational attraction of all the stuff still falling into the black hole? And time is seriously weird when dealing with black holes. Meaning that we need not just consider the accretion disc that we see on the outside of a black hole in our short human time spans. It could be all of the matter yet to fall into the black hole for the lifespan of the exterior universe, for instance. If so though, and we were at the centre of the black hole (or at least equidistant to the event horizon in all directions), the attraction from all directions would cancel itself out. If we were towards one edge, then that side would be providing a greater gravitational pull. Which we should be able to detect as there would be more expansion in that direction than the opposite. Which is thinking in Newtonian terms of course. However the mass of stuff outside a black hole might not translate to a gravitational pull affecting stuff inside a black hole (speaking from the perspective of those of us inside anyhow) but maybe it could translate into stretching space. And if relativity puts every point inside the black hole as being equidistant from the event horizon, then things would look pretty much like we see them. Dark matter? It could be the matter yet to fall into the black hole? With our perspective presumably being towards the earlier end of the black hole's total lifespan, with far more matter yet to fall in than has already manifested around us. Hence why there is so much more dark matter than baryonic. The big bang being the collapse of the stellar object which formed the black hole in the first place and the dark matter being the stuff being sucked in subsequently. Would we expect to see such matter gushing out of white holes? Maybe if we have a way of distinguishing them from the other light sources out there. Or possibly the extra matter manifesting itself around us is arriving on such a slow timescale that it might only be a few atoms scattered here and there all over the place. (Or maybe from our perspective it could take infinite time for the dark matter to arrive ... but that is harder to contemplate as a meatsack). But as baryonic matter and dark matter can interact through gravity, a lot of the new mass being added to the universe might be concentrated around the biggest gravitational sources. Namely black holes. Hence explaining why super-massive black holes got so much bugger than our current theories predict. Thus ends my ramble.

[@axle.australian.patriot]
