[@jbiasutti]

In a previous video you made a note that it is impossible to separate quarks. Moving them apart creates enough energy to create another pair of quarks. So in the instant that dark energy becomes strong enough to pull apart subatomic particles the universe will suddenly be full of enough mass to slow down the expansion of the universe. So have we just explained inflation?

[@EduardoRFS]

exactly what I thought, but perhaps that is why he said "hopefully only elemental particles"

[@thegr8malachite370]

would it slow the expansion enough to the point of it reversing/clumping back to one single point? sorry if I misunderstood some point here.

[@eliomonaco147]

He says that at that point no particle is close enough to interact with each other. So, maybe quarks continuously form, but as soon as they form the are not longer in causal connection with each other, meaning that all this new matter and energy have no time to communicate gravitational interactions to each other. But I have no clue.

[@LaserGuidedLoogie]

Good point. Add in Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, and we might have a winner (the universe goes through an endless series of cycles that generate their successor). This would not only explain Inflation, but also explain how each successive universe can start at maximum entropy.

@@butHomeisNowhere___ - That fringe cosmology slightly irritates me too much. However I do enjoy some quality videos like those of Skydivephil, which do touch fringe cosmology but are not that repetitive as "time travel" and "many worlds" stuff. Problem is that when I get one of those, even if I get to sleep (and I'm not absorbed by the dissertation, resulting in high brain activity and no sleep), I often want to rewatch in the morning or whenever I wake up, resulting in delays. Nature docus are generally the best for sleep, really.

[@mykofreder1682]

Who ever puts this together reads at least some of the comments and they answer the questions people have given an over the top treatment of things like the big rip. The time line and closing of the observable universe make it clear the scenario is a lot like having black holes form on every object in the universe and eventually every atom. I suspect the closing moments would be a lot like entering a black hole, with the tidal forces of space time having similar effects. Until a year or so ago I took the big bang literally, an explosion that flung things to the edges of the universe, with some doubts considering the vast quantity of mass involved, but it at least conformed with things I do understand. The expanding space time does not conform to anything I understand, how it transports massive galaxies at speeds that defeats those galaxies local velocities, which are quite high, and makes it small.

This _completely_ explains why the earth is flat. It used to be round, but dark energy originated at the north pole. This caused the world to accelerate outwards, changing Antarctica from a continent to a vast 125,000 kilometer wall of ice surrounding the world. Also, the south pole has been stretched from a single point to a perpetually expanding omni-directional circle heading outwards in every possible direction. I suggest flat earthers everywhere move to antarctica. Past the _ginormously long_ icewall, in all directions, past the fake south pole, and utilize dark energy to grow into giants. Eventually you can become so big that you can defeat anything from pacific rim, and conquer the world. Alternatively, you could simply measure the Antarctica coastline. Using boats and equipment. I suppose this would be a simpler, faster, and far less costly way to prove how long it _really is._ Have fun.

I'm glad you mentioned particle production when accelerating expansion starts to rip hadrons apart. I was already planning to come down here to suggest it. To me, this seems like it fits well with inflation and a new big bang in a model of eternal inflation. It may also explain why there is more matter than antimatter. Whatever minuscule portion of an earlier universe that suddenly expanded into ours would be locally dominated by one or the other (or photons left over from annihilation).

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to call Dark Energy "Anti Gravity?" It seems to work in the opposite way to Gravity in particular: a force that we cannot see pulling apart as opposed to pulling in. Dark Energy also doesn't sound as cool in my book. With that in mind, what if there aren't only pits in space where gravity is? What if there are also mountains, and as *matter pulls together [or apart, as it may be], forming deeper pits in spacetime, then the opposite must also be done to compensate? Mountains of spacetime rising up in the matterless parts of the universe? Anyway, how y'all's day been? Mine's been ok. Went to the beach with my mom, pop, and sibbies. Then we played basketball.

[@alexandermartin1837]

Totally

[@PaulSebastianM]

What if there is no dark energy, just positive pressure? That would mean that at some point in time, the expansion will stop as the pressure equalizes.

[@felicityc]

Pressure equalizing is probably what caused the separation of the forces, when the universe expanded large enough that subatom particles could no longer stay together without gravity- that is, when light was needed, since before then, everything was within a small enough space where all matter could interact with all other matter; but "pressure" is an odd concept, considering it implies there is an outside. What exactly is the positive pressure acting against? There would have to be something beyond the expansion, even beyond the light horizon, and beyond any horizon created by the big bang. But that would also be the universe, so... it's very confusing? There is a phenomenon similar to rapid decompression I had a little idea about the early universe and how the expansion quickened so quickly; basically, the moment those subatomic particles (or goo or whatever) were unable to be within interactable distance, it caused an analogous rapid decompression. There's another name for it; it's when the pressure is so high it actually causes a decompressive action. Perhaps the reverse can be applied, where you get rapid compression... like a singularity :p For some reason I didn't save my sources or the scholarly reports I read about this action (which is near impossible to achieve in anything heavier than hydrogen, which MAKES SENSE TO ME IN THIS RESPECT). HOWEVER! when I thought of this idea, I found the idea of a stable, equilibrium universe completely absurd since it defies entropy and would imply it would equalize into a stable state rather than continuing into a further disordered state over time, which is most certainly not an equilibrium. Until it is, I guess.

What about singularities of black holes? Can dark energy overcome the singularity of a black hole and rip it apart? What happens when the two types of event horizons meet?

[@srpenguinbr]

Interesting question

[@googolplexbyte]

The singularity is a point. There's no space between any bit of the singularity for dark energy to pull apart, so the singularity is safe. The event horizon shrinks, as it's defined as being the boundary past which the fastest thing i.e. light can no longer escape. But dark energy allows things to move away from the singularity faster than the speed of light so the event horizon would shrink to match, but it would never shrink down to the size of the singularity unless the dark energy expanded the universe at an infinite speed.

[@mgilangr9883]

I wish they will answer this in the next episode

[@familystuff2873]

Is dark energy a sign we are in a giant black holes pulling everything apart and away from everything else.. What if.. life only happens in blackholes

[@frankschneider6156]

googolplexbyte A singularity / infinity is a mathematical artifact. Infinities do not exist in physical reality, they are just mathematical artifacts resulting from extrapolating a scientific model beyond its boundary of validity. A singularity is the "syntax error" of physical models. If you ever get a singularity, this means your model doesn't describe reality anymore. They are not real, Only people who errorneously mistake their model for being reality do believe they are. So the center of a black hole is not infinitesimal small, but it it is finite. Gravity expands at the speed of light. the moment the speed of the expansion of space overcomes the speed of light (nothing can move faster through space than c, but space can expand faster than c, as we know from the Guth inflation), gravity simply vanishes and thus the black hole disintegrates.

[@dessertstorm7476]

Since most people seem to want a big crunch rather than a big rip or heat death, I have a question, if a space-faring civilisation exists at the near-end of the universe would it be possible to out-run a big crunch?

[@LL-im7ro]

Today we are not enough advanced to say if it's possible or not but I think that people with this kind of type 3 civilisation problem could use some Clarketechs which would look like magic for us nowadays

[@khenricx]

As far as I understand the big crunch, no, it's not possible to escape. The big crunch would occurs everywhere, just like the big bang. To escape that you would need to leave the universe, which is quite a challenge.

[@TheColemancreek]

I would imagine, aside from the notion of Einstein-Rosen bridges, if you lived towards the outer "edge" you might be able to avoid the crunch. If you use our current understanding of dark energy, the rebound or "crunch" would be eventually moving at faster than the speed of light, and thus you would never be able to avoid moving away from this inevitably. General relativity allows for this notion that if you are separated from the frame of reference things can (and do) actually move faster than light. The current expansion of the universe is already moving at this FLT speed.

Zach Crawford - Consider also Stephen Hawking's point about the net energy of the entire cosmos being zero, with the positive mass energy of matter in the form of hyperplasma had to be offset by the negative energy hyperinflating emergence of spacetime along with matter at cosmic t0. Could it not be the case that the only reason cosmic spacetime continues to expand is because the process of matter creation is still ongoing? To me, the question is, how is spacetime generated? It could very well be that it is an irreversible process, such that there is no way the cosmos could "recollapse" for the simple reason that once matter/spacetime emerges, there is no way for them to "recombine" and thus cancel out a certain amount of mass along with a particular measure of spacetime volume.

Black holes may be the only thing haulting spacetime from expanding, or, as black holes decay overtime, it would eventually radiate away and the expansion could continue.

[@ivanandlove]

What happens to a black hole during the big rip? Both the event horizon and the singularity. Is it like dividing infinity by infinity....? I am referring to the infinitely dense singularity versus the infinitely expansive space. Does the Schwarzschild radius shrink or expand as the big rip sets in? It exists because objects cant escape the gravitational pull of the singularity after that point, but the expansion is breaking all gravitational bonds by expanding the space between particles. Both forces in this situation are accelerating at increasingly FTL speeds. Does all of the information eternally falling towards the singularity inside the event horizon then get pulled from the singularity faster than its falling, keep falling with infinitely further to go, etc? Or is the space inside immune to this expansion? And how does the reversal of space and time within the black hole play in to this? Does time within the event horizon expand instead? Ive gotta figure this out.... im gonna need a calculator, penrose diagram, redbull, Ricks portal gun, and the Ludwig Boltzmann boxset collection of Firefly

[@Druid_22b]

Unless you are talking about specifically different infinities, dividing infinity by infinity just makes 1. Now, if we divide infinity by 0, we end up with an infinitely large infinity which is just another infinity.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Mr Gohan First we need to know is singularity possible. Infinity is not normal in physics, but in math it is.

[@thatguythatreallylikestech3027]

@@Druid_22b there are no infinities, there is just infinity. Infinity is everything that could and could't be, so, if you think that 012345... to infinity is different (or another infinity) than 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 0,5... to infinity you are just wrong. Infinity contains both sequences, we just start from different points, in fact, infinity contains everything from those sequences to my reply and even the entire universe from it's beginning to it's end . Infinity never ends, and it never start, it just is.

Singularity is another name for unknown. If anything is smaller than 10^-37m our theories won't work anymore.

[@shin823]

I gave it some thought looked at all the pieces of the puzzle and came up with the following: • if the universe expands, why would it only limit its expansion to the dimensions of "space" logic would suggest it expands in all the dimensions including the dimension of time. • Space-time expands at the smallest possible quantities meaning Planck values (3 Planck lengths [one in each dimension of “space”] and one Planck time [the "flow" of time seems to be caused by that expansion]/ per these values) if it was not the case the universe wouldn’t be as uniform as it seems to be. • its a known fact that gravity "occurs" near a matter that has mass. What if the gravity is caused by the matter trying to resist the expansion i mentioned earlier? It’s a known fact matter comprises mostly of empty space, it could be so that the expanding space-time meets some kind of resistance while trying to expand inside a elementary particle "losing some of its energy" thus "slowing" down by that amount which causes the "curve" in space time near large masses (the real reason for the "curve" may be the difference in the rate of expansion of space-time near the area influenced by that mass and outside of this area. thats why i think big rip is not gonna happen

I would avoid using "smaller" when referring to negative numbers (@6:13) and use the more precise "less than" or "greater than". Just a minor issue but helps avoid confusion (e.g. which is the 'smaller' number: -1 or -1,000,000,000?).

I hope senpai Matt notices this question! Would this scenario, particularly the last months, be a painful and horrible experience for sentient life still around near the end? Would the actually be able to experience their planets explode then be ripped apart?

[@butHomeisNowhere___]

My take on it would be no. If you see, at the very end ... at 10^-19 seconds, that's when the atoms are ripped apart. So without actually checking, so take this as you will, the last nano seconds where your planet/body are scattered would happen so fast that your neurons wouldnt even have time to fire signals. Of course, you'd know it was coming by watching other galaxies disassemble, but the part where it happens to YOU would be nearly instant.

[@TheMarrethiel]

[@ZeTafka]

Its been in my head for long time . Everyone is describing expansion of Universe by saying that "units of vacuum" is increasing between galaxies. Why not Describe it as that Galaxies are shrinking relative to 1 Vacuum Unit. For example Distance between Galaxy A and B has always been constant , 1 Vacuum unit . At the start Both galaxies also occupied 1 unit of Vacuum . And present moment it has shrunk down to 0.1 vacuum units . Say that red shift occurs because Galaxies ability to shoot out energy to other galaxies over time decreases and only reason red shift between galaxies increases is that it takes more and more energy to get out of galaxies hold. What I am probably trying to describe is - "Why aren't we thinking of Galaxies(Black holes, Starts ,Planets ...quarks...) as Geometrically inwards radiating objects" My thoughts go deeper than my English,linguistic and my knowledge of math and physics. If anyone understands what I mean and know's why it can not be the case , please give me a quick reply Thank you

[@jimgraham6722]

Yes, I think there are some theories along these lines, problem is the evidence. It might not absolutely reject these ideas but makes them very improbable. The evidence best matches mainstream theory, big bang, inflation, expansion of universe as observed by Hubble constant and CMB.

[@feynstein1004]

I still don't get how normal dark energy doesn't violate energy conservation. I mean, it's literally creating new vacuum energy. Only answer I've been able to think of (and not a satisfactory one at that) is that the universe is infinite, has infinite amount of energy and so no matter how much you add to that pile, it will always stay infinite.

[@feynstein1004]

@sjg1984 Lol what makes you say that?

Feynstein 100 - *"Only answer I've been able to think of (and not a satisfactory one at that) is that the universe is infinite, has infinite amount of energy and so no matter how much you add to that pile, it will always stay infinite."* Actually, no, you have it exactly backwards. As Stephen Hawking pointed out, the net energy of the entire cosmos is zero.

[@axxeny]

Great question!

[@lyrimetacurl0]

I thought your time would go to "the end" before you cross the event horizon.

[@peterc6664]

According to me, there is a fourth reason why W = -1 is the most likely hypothesis. The apparant increase in the Hubble constant may simply be a result of not properly accounting for the difference in matter density between our rather empty region of space and the average density of the early universe. According to multiple papers, we are living in a supervoid, the so-called KBC void (named after Keenan, Barger and Cowie who discovered it in 2013), which a roughly spherical void of 2 billion light years. This is also a good topic for a future episode btw ;-)

[@peterc6664]

New research of shows that the difference is even bigger: 74 vs 67 (km/s)/Mpc. There must be a density difference. It is time that we don't think of our part of spacetime as an average for the whole universe. It is empty out here ... I feel it :-(

[@hamstsorkxxor]

I still wonder what would happen if the expansion on the quantum scale accelerated to the point that baryons are ripped apart. We can't have free quarks can we? typically, ripping apart a baryon imparts so much energy that a new complementary quark can be form. So would that mean expansion could create infinite quarks? EDIT: I shouldn't ask questions before watching the entire video. Oh well.

[@Chidoc]

...and wouldn't infinite quarks fill the voids that are created by ripping everything apart? could than that be a big bang scenario? who knows....

[@Brianboy9494]

That would be a question for a quantum theory of gravity since quarks are described by a quantum field theory, QCD, but the expansion of the universe is described by general relativity.

Imagine you're living 22 billion years in the future and as soon as Big Rip is approaching, Big Rip is allowing you to actually go back in time and live it all over again just like humans used to now, and maybe finding a method to prevent a big rip...

[@ruidh]

Actually, I'm sort of curious about the interaction between dark matter and central black holes. Since dark matter is diffuse (is it?) central black holes must suck up a fair amount of it. Is this reflected in any if our models of central black holes formation? What do we think is the ratio of ordinary mass to DM mass in the typical black hole?

[@terohannula30]

Okay, if big rip can happen, could it rip black holes? Though light can't escape, can the space can expand faster to rip these black holes? And what would happen, burst of matter and energy? And when this could happen, the distance where space is expanding faster than light is currently wast, not affecting our lives. But if acceleration happens, then if the expanding of space faster than light -radius is smaller than black holes event horizont? Or is the black hole considered as a point singularity in scenario, so there is nothing to separate from itself?

[@hellfun1337]

the cosmological event horizon should merge with the event horizon of any black hole it contacts

[@kingofflames738]

Since space time is ripping Itself apart and black holes are holes in space time I guess they would get ripped thurther open making them larger.

[@JesseGilbride]

I have the same question. I'm not sure I buy the merging idea. Not that I've checked the math, but isn't there a difference in expressions of causality between normal spacetime (despite its big-ripping nature) and how all future world lines inside the black hole lead inward? Tough question, for sure.

[@diegoteixeira2003]

Pretty sure we can't know the answer because we don't have a theory of quantum gravity yet.

[@kingfisher1638]

The model my brain keeps coming back to is that we are living in a bubble of possibility space with two solutions to return to equilibrium. Entropy is solved in the singularity and in the expansion crunch. The singularity and the expansion both destroy dimensional differentiation in opposite directions. time ends at both points.

Would Quantum Entanglement work across the cosmic event horizon ?(during the stages they weren’t destroyed)

[@goldilock4199]

I guess so. I mean, they're still there so nothing is stopping them right? (Can someone fact check this?)

[@cloudpoint0]

The cosmic event horizon is different for each observer, it’s a notional horizon. Entanglement of two particles both locally straddling our cosmic event horizon would certainly be unaffected. If a particle local to us is entangled with a distant particle on our horizon and they became further separated, I’m not as sure what would happen. My guess is nothing special since any two entangled particles don’t even know that each other exists. This situation is comparable to two entangled particles where one falls into a real event horizon as found around a black hole and one does not. This has no effect other than it would be impossible to later measure if the correlation persisted.

[@tylermerlin8320]

Doesn't matter.

[@RequiemPoete]

@@cloudpoint0: Unless of course quantum entanglement has a spatial limit, or gets severed over a certain speed. Though that wouldn't affect either particle. Just their bond.

[@cloudpoint0]

@@RequiemPoete As I said earlier, any two entangled particles don’t even know that each other exists. They don’t communicate with each other. They aren’t bonded to each other in some way. A spatial distance limit or speed limit wouldn’t matter. Entangled particles are merely governed by a common probability function that exists somewhere within the underlying machinery of the universe that decides how each particle should present itself if and when it is asked to present itself to an observer or a detector. Or so it seems. It’s called “quantum nonlocality”.

[@jainalabdin4923]

Cyclical bubble universes from Big Rip > Big Bang > Big Rip > Big Bang... The final stages of the Big Rip stripping atoms apart then onto stripping nucleans apart should hit a snag when trying to strip quarks. As we have never observed quarks on their own, and when trying to split pairs of quarks, the Strong Force holding them together gets stronger and stronger, until it breaks causing another pair of quarks to form, these further pairs continue to form more and more pairs as the energy from the Big Rip continues to feed them... These quark pairs splitting into further pairs causes a chain reaction, and this reaction is continuously fed by the Big Rip driven by Dark Energy (Phantom Energy?) field, causing an explosion in the form of a Big Bang. And at each quark pair separation, a chain reaction is created, forming a Big Bang for each pairs, where individual Big Bangs are their own bubble universes... Each Big Bang follows its own Big Rip... Dark Energy driving the cycles... Each quark pair starts a Big Bang at low entropy and follows the Past Hypothesis, starting at low entropy, and ending at high entropy with the Big Rip... So there is also a low entropy/ high entropy cycle, too... Each Big Bang doesn't need a singularity at its beginning... As Dark Energy is converted to a Big Bang, the initial acceleration of spacetime is already faster than the speed of light, and the subsequent expansion of triggering a big bang should follow rapid initial expansion that follows Inflation Theory... As Dark energy is consumed, this rapid expansion is slowed, and a big bang expansion slows down... Any net increase in acceleration continues as net Dark Energy expanding its universe until its next big rip... Summary: Eternal cyclical and bubble universes from Big Rip > Big Bang > Big Rip > Big Bang... Cyclical and bubble Past Hypothesis from low entropy > high entropy > low entropy > high entropy... No singularity at centre of each Big Bang... Consistent with Inflation Theory of Big Bang initial expansion... Consistent with current acceleration of spacetime through Dark Energy... Prediction required for an increasing acceleration of expansion of our Universe, no matter how small... Connects large cosmological macro observations to small, micro scale observations at the quantum scale with quark pairs... Just another hypothesises, but consistent with a cyclical bubble universe that ties energy conversion from end to start ad infinitum...

[@Deciheximal]

Okay folks, now consider what happens when a neutron or proton is ripped apart. It takes so much energy for quarks to be separated that a new quark is created in the process. Repeat that over and over during the big rip and its basically dumping a Big Bang worth of energy into creating quarks. Seems like that might cause the Big Rip to run out of steam for a while. I was originally interested in what happens to black holes in the big rip - but now I speculate that each hadron could become an isolated new universe. Is there anything wrong with this logic?

[@Matisaro]

Imagine you are a particle trapped inside the event horizon of a black hole. As it evaporates away would you experience something similar to the big rip?

Matisaro I would assume not, as the cosmic event horizon and the black hole event horizon are different things

[@medexamtoolscom]

A particle trapped inside the event horizon goes to the center where not only it, but the space and time it occupies, are snuffed out of existence. The particle doesn't experience the black hole evaporating away. It has very, very little time before its time comes to an end.

The term “Big Rip” doesn’t mean what you think it means. I will admit that it’s a bit too far outside my expertise to explain with any confidence of accuracy, so ask a physicist to explain it. My best answer is, this thing we don’t understand that we call “dark energy” could potentially become so powerful that gravity will not be strong enough to maintain the structure of things. The bigger structures like universes will be destroyed followed by solar systems and then plants and finally the structure at the atomic level. The rip refers to the override of gravitational influence leading to the ripping apart of all atomic structure.
