Dr. James Beacham - What's outside the universe? | The Conference 2019

Dr. James Beacham is a particle physicist searching for answers to the biggest open questions of physics using the largest experiment ever, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He hunts for dark matter, gravitons, quantum black holes and dark photons as a member of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. He ended The Conference 2019 with a science class out of this world and a reminder of that to physics - we're all the same.

If so, then what about the NBA? Is it wrong that it is dominated by black males? What does James say when he watches an NBA game and sees the starting lineup - "five black males?" The "white males" he referred to were brilliant. There's a wave of feeling today that white male = bad, all others = noble beings suppressed by white males.

Can anyone explain to me: How do we know its the entirety of space that's expanding? How do we know the big bang isn't just an expansion of matter and energy into a pre-existing - and possibly infinite - void?

[@berendharmsen]

Part of it is that - assuming we accept the theory of relativity, which I would say is a healthy assumption given the massive experimental evidence - it is the only explanation of the fact that the further away objects are from us, the faster they appear to recede. That can only be explained by assuming space itself expands. If 'stuff' just kept on moving in all directions 'in space' from 'some explosion' this would not be the case. Try to visualise both concepts in your head and you can actually understand this. The confusing comment in the talk about that the space that makes up you is also inflating leaves out that inflation is overcome by gravity, which is why local galaxies don't recede for example. One is actually on a collision course with our Milky Way. Why it happens is a different question entirely of course, but the inflation of space is simply an observable fact, assuming (again) that Relativity is really a thing.

[@nelson_rebel3907]

We dont. Its just the accepted theory on existence because the past few hundred years and we've decided that based on what we can see now must be absolute truth. I'm sure it wont change based on another few hundred years when we detect even farther out.... Oh also being unable to describe over 80% of the mass and gravity of the universe as just invisible matter isnt a factor whatsoever either. Its just fact. Even if we cant see, or interact or even prove what it actually is

[@twt1524]

@@nelson_rebel3907 GR has been tested over and over and has yet to fail in any of its predictions- bending of space-time due to massive objects, frame dragging, gravitational waves, time dilation, etc. That doesn’t mean a new theory couldn’t explain dark matter and dark energy, that’s just scientific progression. Just like Newton’s laws aren’t “wrong” Einstein just came up with a more complete theory

If the universe is expanding there has to be an edge orbit can’t be growing.

[@CashIsKing_UseItOrLoseIt]

In the last decade or so I've often thought about how humans (& possibly other animals) may possibly experience the expansion of the universe & then that may possibly affect our experience of nostalgia. Most of us may usually agree that even independently of family life, we nearly always look back more fondly of our younger years and regard those times as being better back then & usually associate it only with different stages & ages in life. But what if; That is driven, at least in part, by an ability we may have to sense how the expansion of everything including in our bodies and around us progresses. Then as the years & decades pass we at least subconciously perceive & remember the relative differences in how close together things are & since it's always expanding, things seemed better years ago because everything was closer together !? There is at least a couple of ways that I can think of that we could perceive this & that's primarily; if light moves at a constant speed then everything takes longer & longer to percieve visually as time goes on &; electical signals would also take longer to get around our body and brain leaving us thinking (& maybe moving) slower than in the past. This possible ability of humans to perceive this could also affect or at least be partly responsible for our perception of time speeding up as we get older which I think nearly all of us would say it does. If there is any truth to that, I think our usually somewhat bias nostalgia is also naturally affected by other obvious factors such as levels of pollution, chaos & other things & events negativly, positively or neutrally percieved in our world around us & how we remember them. I'm aware of course that nearly all of our bias nostalgia may just stem from our lives usually being a bit easier to live to the fullest when we were younger. (1/Jan/2023-12:19pm🇦🇺EST)

[@Len124]

While physics isn't my field of study, from what I understand, the universe wouldn't exist as it does without dark matter. At the very least, galaxies wouldn't have formed without the concentrating and binding effect of dark matter. As far as the universe "popping," the closest to a consensus we currently have doesn't suggest a definitive end beyond the universe eventually expanding to the point at which even protons are torn apart in a process referred to as the "heat-death of the universe." Stars will exhaust their supplies of Hydrogen, Helium, and eventually every fusible element until only blackholes remain; at which point, they will slowly evaporate due to Hawking radiation over unfathomable spans of time and blink out of existence. That's currently the most popular view, at least, but like all science, it's provisional and liable to change. Oh, and _yes,_ it's turtles all the way down. Edit: Fixed some typos and awkward wording.

Knowledge? What knowledge? That guy knows only what is written in books. No more than that. He has no answer on what's outside the Universe. And if he ever knew, what would be outside his answer? He wouldn't know either! So, he spoke for an hour, for no answer at all. And most people commented that he is a great speaker. Now the bible says that God created, space matter and time. Many believers in God teach this. But the same people listening to this guy in the video, and saying how awesome he is, would say that believing in a Creator is completely crazy. How would you explain this?

[@immortalsofar5314]

As a thought experiment, the FTL initial expansion of the universe assumes that time was running as it is now from the start? Surely everything else had to settle down so why not time? I mean, it's hard to measure time against anything else since it's what we measure everything else by ... unless we measure it by the movement of light but that makes the question kind of self-fulfilling.

James Beacham, you have composed a poem, an epic, a symphony, which is the universe, our universe. I always thought that the universe, by definition, is all inclusive, and thus, there cannot be any "outside the universe". But then, we run into the problem of infinity. There is no way for finite beings to grasp infinity, not even the concept. Word is that, as you put it, infinity means repetition, and thus the existence of multiverse. We may need a different terminology, but, even within the current definition, multiverse need to break out of the traditional spatial confine to have any claim to existence. Multiverse is a dimensional concept, not a separate spatial existence, that inhabits within our own universe, within ourselves.

[@checkmate79]

I can grasp infinity going forward. I completely comprehend an infinite amount of time from this point forward. I have a hard time grasping an infinite past. Obviously that comes from our idea that everything has a beginning.

Here are possibilities. 1.Universe come from nothing 2.It created itself 3 Was created by something created 4.Was created by something uncreated Now using our brains which one sounds the most logical 1.Universe came from nothing (This is absurd because nothing is the absence of something. 0+0=0) 2. The universe created itself ( absurd because you're saying something exist and not exist at the same time. Example is the mother who gave birth to herself) 3. The universe was created by something else that was created, perhaps a chain of multiverses. ( here you run into infinite regress fallacy. If we say who created the creator then the following question is who created the creator that created the creator, and so on and on......to infinity. This is impossible because we run into infinite regression fallacy. let me give you an example. Let's say a sniper aquire his target (a deer) on the crosshaire, in order to shoot he needs a permission from the guy behind him, and the guy behind him needs a permission from another guy behind him, and so on and on in a never ending chain to infinity... Now here is the question? Will the sniper ever shoot the deer? Why or why not. The answer is NO, because any given moment the request for permission is moving backwards OK, but if the deer gets shot? This means the request ended with someone who gave the order, who doesn't need a permission from anyone else. 4. So God is the uncreated eternal being.

Nobel prize-winner Leon Lederman: "The expansion of the universe doesn't actually affect the spaces between particles. The universe's expansion is not a force that will rip particles, molecules or even objects apart. The 'fabric of space' is not stretching - just the distances between really large things like galaxies. So while the distance between the milky way and its nearest neighbor may increase over the next billion years, the distance between the proton and neutron in a deuterium atom's nucleus will not.

[@Kyvarus]

makes sense that all particles are actually just the comprisal of various fields, consider for a moment what that means in terms of the double slit experiment. The reason why observation collapses waveforms is inherently tied to the nature of multiple fields acting as factors having to be evaluated before a physical particle was found. Once the particles in the form of the double slit experiment were "found" or "spawned into existance due to observation" they produce a straight line, When unobserved until the point of contact on the sheet, it acts as a bellcurve with interferance lines. Why does observation collapse the fields and why do collapsed fields continue to act in a way similar to the particles we know? Because observation inherently is the evaluation of the fields through a physical lense (not like we know what that means on the quantum level), and the particles we know must be states inwhich the fields get locked into post evaluation; what we know as observable particles. There must also be some sort of field interaction with electrons, photons and the nucleus of atoms which would likely explain why we have this issue with tracking electrons around an atomic mass. It's likely that instead when the electron or photons hits the atom in question it is a change in the interlocked fields that make up the atom in question and the result is the decaying electrons or photons. Which would be a good reason why when photons hit atoms the energy states of electrons increase and why some substances can release light when affected by electricity.

Brilliant, and heartfelt too. Reminded me of Carl Sagan (or what I know of him at least). I do have one question that haunts me for absolutely no reason but has done so for years. It comes from the idea of a multiverse, the suggestion (or fact?) that Time comes in to being when the Universe does, and the bit I read about in A Brief History Of Time about there being no way to communicate between iterations of universes. So here it is: is it possibly that there is both ONE Universe AND a multiverse simultaneously? In terms of the “bruising”, if it’s the case that there can be no contact of any kind whatsoever between universes (or no information can survive), does that mean that although another universe could have a causal effect upon our own (especially so if there is also a cycle of creation and recreation at play) and yet not necessarily exist before ours? Could it just be ONE Universe, expressing all of it’s possibilities simultaneously like a wave-function, but just falling into actuality as if the wave function has collapsed and here we are, with the exception (from that analogy) being that they all do/did/will exist (because there is nothing to stop them doing/having done/being destined to do so? Sorry - was meant to be one question but, ironically, I think it might still be so.
