Hello from Georgia, Tbilisi. Thank you for your great work.

Feeding a system that is already in rhythm with it's vibrations, can only create a new fold. The spacetime code is probably in the midst of some collision energy that is constantly feeding into this system of spacetime. Could we theoretically fuse matter so dense, that it serves to house consciousness by fissioning the the already super dense elements to survive the super long periods between universes, space time after it disintegrates.... Long enough to survive time recycling. Basic personality of success can be chosen to survive within artificial platform of super dense materials. 3 types, master warrior, master diplomat/lover and master creative/engineer only born within each timeline awaiting it to be born to master spacetime and all it's elements. Any other personality type you try to save through out time (scavenger for example for the failed/ celebrity for the success in social affairs) The more you try to save, the more likely that you change what's possible. So only basic personality of all times. Pure love which house cooperation. Quasi mortal unless the densest forms that can be forged. These three types of mindsets are so universal (fighter/lover/creative) that it has 3 parts in the mind that help us master these levels.

To give some sort of idea of how large the Penrose number is: If each digit of 10^10^123 were written out with a width of 3 mm (about average handwriting size), the length of this number would stretch approximately 3.17*10^104 light years. This length would wrap around the observable universe 3.41*10^93 times. The mass of the ink would be 5.03x10^71 times greater than the mass of the Milky Way galaxy. The volume of the ink required could fill up the observable universe approximately 4.21 x 10^31 times. This comparison underscores the sheer magnitude of the number. We truly should not exist.

How could you have been interested in this topic for 61 years and not have heard all this before? I've been consuming content like this for only about 20 years (I'm 40) and nothing in this video was even close to new for me... You should go on a deep dive about what gravity actually is.... it's crazy. In short you are accelerating right now (assuming you are sitting still) and the only way on this planet to NOT accelerate is to jump off a tall building or out of an airplane because contrary to popular belief you do NOT accelerate during free-fall. When standing still on Earth the Earth itself is getting in your way of following a straight-line path through curved space-time such that the Earth is accelerating you along a perpetually curved path... again, while standing perfectly still.

"The work of mindfulness is first to recognize the suffering and second to embrace it. A mother taking care of a crying baby naturally will take the child into her arms without suppressing, judging it, or ignoring the crying. Mindfulness is like that mother, recognizing and embracing suffering without judgement. So the practice is not to fight or suppress the feeling, but rather to cradle it with a lot of tenderness. When a mother embraces her child, that energy of tenderness begins to penetrate into the body of the child. Even if the mother doesn’t understand at first why the child is suffering and she needs some time to find out what the difficulty is, just her act of taking the child into her arms with tenderness can already bring relief. If we can recognize and cradle the suffering while we breathe mindfully, there is relief already.” Thich Nhat Hanh

We don't know that, and in fact, Penrose himself doesn't believe it. His entire Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) hypothesis is based on the fact there never was nothing.

[@Masoch1st]

the law of causality. Mass is a form of energy. Energy can't create itself. Even if cyclical, it still has to have a starting point

[@MelancholicBodhisattva]

@Masoch1st What you're trying to refer to is the law of conservation of energy, which states energy can not be created nor destroyed, simply converted from one form to another. Which actually raises my question again; why expect "nothing" to be the default? And, no, if it's cyclical there's no need for a starting point. That's sort of the entire implication of bringing up a cyclical nature in the first place.

[@someguy-k2h]

@@Masoch1st First off, misstating the law of causality doesn't help your argument. Second, you miss the point that anything ever created anything. It just always was. You make an assumption something has to have a starting point, yet you have no evidence of that. Lastly, if energy cannot be created, then that's a perfect argument for an eternal universe, and an argument against the idea of a nothing

[@laputa4825]

An eternal universe theory does not explain potency. We clearly know that electrons and the smallest photons emerged into existence near plank epoch. Imagine an eternal pair of two atoms, that's basically it, did you imagine them moving and exchanging energy or creating new substances? No. Additionally, Asfaik, the very notions of thermodynamics, it's three laws, are axiomatic due to the philosophy of science. So appealing to them as a universal to affirm eternalism is absurd.

Should chemistry be denied in the ready conversion of H1 to H2 merely because H2 is difficult to detect in any direct manner in space?

An abundance of H2 throughout space in a gradient that will extend to meet that of our galactic neighbor, will also account for the gravitational anomaly where the outer arms of our galaxy rotate at nearly the same rate as the central region. Quantum physics is great, dare I say so before I have dived into the math. However math hasn't actually proven the existence of dark matter, no matter how sophisticated the math is or can be. Circular reasoning isn't somehow justified if you add decades of career building and funding requirements and the consensus building that takes place over time that takes on more precedence than any math in support . . A much greater quantity of H2 in the presence of H1 is the natural result if we acknowledge basic chemistry, exceeding the mass of the visible component of the universe and which must be ignored to maintain control over the narrative and our inability to think and take a risk without group oriented behavior and identification in support .

Deep thoughts: Even we have an infinitesimally small chance of existing. Conciousness just have to exist. As you didnt have to wait 13billion years after the big bang till you're born. Neither you have to wait again for the X billions of years for your next conscious life to exist in different universes. You will just exist in an universe that is ready to support life. Just like how people say we are lucky we end up on Earth despite the vast majority of planets are inhabitable. My perspective is we just have to exist on a habitable planet if there was one. So the probability of existing as a concious being anywhere in this universe is not near to 1/infinite. But closer to 1 actually.

Yeah, there is such a component of awe in the whole presentation, it at times drives shivers down my spine. For a moment I feel like I nearly can get a grasp on the truth of the universe, a short glimpse on the wondrous and terrifying truth of the underlying mechanisms of the universe. It´s in some ways nearly religious, and I think a similar feeling to what religious people feel with their faith. Really, this kind of feels like a sermon at time, not in a negative way, and not to any faith, but to existence, it´s awe inspiring facts and mysteries and an appreciation of just how weird, wild and beautiful it really is. And it really brings some revelations. Recently I when eating I was rolling around a pea on my plate and had a realization, this peas matter is made up from enough energy to destroy the majority of the city I live in. Yet it is lying there, being just a pea. I have known that for some time, but before then never "understood" it, it never clicked, if you get what I mean. And this channel manages to do that "making things click" for so many people, to be able to "get" these esoteric things. I never hat a problem with grasping these things, not always truly "understanding" them, but getting what they mean. But many people don´t have that skill, are not capable of just grasping these complex connections and understanding them. They get other things I don´t, like social interaction, but these extremely out there concepts are to them like seeing emotion and subtext in faces is for me. And this channel does the incredible service of making these things understandable, putting them in a way most people will have no trouble to understand and get them. And that is such a great thing to do, because in you normal life you will never truly come across these things, understand them without being invested and actively search out the facts.

[@Eye_Exist]

Simplest and best explanation to the cosmological constant problem is that as our calculations predict something we cannot observe, the calculation itself is wrong. Either the prediction of the amount of virtual particles is wrong itself, or we have vastly overestimated their energy level. Or maybe it is related to the observation problem, the right amount of particles always being there where we make the measurement, but ceasing to exist or existing in much lower quantities elsewhere. Then, It is important to understand that the Penrose number doesn't describe the likeliness in which a universe is born, but the incredibly low odds that all of the known basic parameters in the universe are set to their precise values by a random chance. There's absolutely no way of estimating how likely a universe is born, as we have absolutely no idea what kind of event led to the birth of the universe. Maybe it was designed this way, which would be very simple solution to the problem. Maybe it's something entirely else, in which case we are forced to seriously consider the odds of our existence. Nothing we know gives us any hint why the universe exists, where it exists or what the universe is. Nor if the the universe is the pinnacle of the reality or a mere byproduct of something entirely else? How could you possibly say? And exactly nothing suggests anything of what kind of realms exist beyond the universe, or what kind of state existed before the big bang, or what is the relation of our universe to the realm beyond it, if such thing exists. Does logic, mathematics or quantum mechanics exist beyond or pre-exist the universe, or are they only parts of our universe, born with it? How could you possibly even guess? Why does the existence itself exist? You could remove every single thing from the existence and still be left with the blank state of the existence itself. The existence exists and logically it has to be the most fundamental part of the reality. And yes, it's existence leads into a near-paradoxical solution: either it has always existed, meaning non-causality, or its existence is an infinite loop of cause and effect, which would be a paradox. Does logic exist beyond our universe? And if we assume the mathematics to be the creator of the universe (which would postulate it to have some significant power of creation which we haven't observed it to have), we'd still be postulating a realm beyond the universe in which the mathematics exist. Mathematics certainly does not explain everything, because a) 'nothing' isn't 'something' you can formulate on, because at the moment you give it a symbol it becomes 'something', making it infinitely more than 'nothing' (nothing is a concept with absolutely no reference), and b) because mathematics can also be removed from the existence, still leaving the existence itself to be - not the other way around. Again, does logic exist beyond our universe? What is the consciousness and does it exist beyond or pre-exist the universe? The hard problem of consciousness and its profound effect on the wave particle function forces us to acknowledge its existence and its mystery to the universe. Nobody has ever seen the universe without consciousness. We literally don't know if it even exist without the consciousness, or if it would exist in permanent superposition without it. it's extremely important part of the question of everything, whether we like it or not. And every single thing i listed exist within the mystery of the universe and the existence, so whether we like them or not, they are strictly scientific and part of the question of everything, regardless if we cannot formulate them mathematically or test them. All this just shows how absurdly little we understand of our existence and how far away we are even to begin to attempt to answer the question or try to formulate a theory of everything. Unlike scientists like to admit, multiverse is actually absolutely horrible idea scientifically speaking, because it postulates almost infinite amount of unknown energy and arbitrary sets of laws just to solve a question which we are in no place to even begin to deal with. And while we are at it, i would also shoot down the idea of string theories with a simple question: What scientific evidence are the 1-dimensional strings based on? a theory without predicting power or practical evidence is nonsense in scientific terms. it's not science, no matter if it involves numbers. certainly one can not prove god or gods, but also their existence is just as likely as any other explanation we can come up with if we are being real to the other explanations as well and not just gods. Also based on what the scientists say that the matter and anti-matter should have been created equally? They don't know why the matter or the universe was created so how on earth do they say that there should have been equal amount of anti-matter there?

We're inventing ways to describe the things we see, but isn't that just the pattern recognition in our monkey brains trying to rationalize our surroundings? But if mathematical principles truely do provide us the answers to the deepest mechanations of the universe, then how the fuck does the universe function on principles such as those? Hurts my brain, I love it

[@JeffreyStroman]

Nothing we know gives any indication at to why all the parameters are tuned so that the universe exists?? Have you ever heard of a book called the Bible? In the effort of truthfullnes i am not particularly a religious person although I do believe we have a God I just take issue with the willful ignorance of that particular summation. Second admission I have yet to finish your entire sonnet and apologies if you do address this possibility at some point. Perhaps it is a bounce rather than a bang and a Supreme being is waiting for our species collectively to be a moral one. Or even stranger it's all dependent on one individual such as you or even worse, me to use free will towards morality and personal responsibility to decide whether life propagates the entire universe or just our one blue dot.

I’ve visited your planet several times, it’s an interesting place. This is a good educational tool, there are a few errors you have yet to discover. We discovered that at the start of the universe the antimatter was lost to an extra dimension that closed in the first moments, the dimension exists but does not interact with the 4 dimensions in a significant way. Also, black holes are not singularities, they are like closed filaments of gravitons, there is also a much higher “Hubble constant” at the interior - it’s like it’s own separate universe in a way.

As opposed to being content with not knowing until new observations and evidence can be collected to fill the gaps in our knowledge.

Should chemistry be denied in the ready conversion of H1 to H2 merely because H2 is difficult to detect in any direct manner in space? A paper by Canadian astronomer Paul Marmet essentially collapsed the "Big Bang" back in 1990 as he theorized the existence of intergalactic and interstellar matter as the cause of redshift rather than a doppler effect -- and accounting for anomalies much more effectively, before the discovery of the abundance of H2 throughout space, though primarily ignored by the necessities of money and career support. An abundance of H2 throughout space in a gradient that will extend to meet that of our galactic neighbor, will also account for the gravitational anomaly where the outer arms of our galaxy rotate at nearly the same rate as the central region. Quantum physics is great, dare I say so before I have dived into the math. However math hasn't actually proven the existence of dark matter, no matter how sophisticated the math is or can be . Circular reasoning isn't somehow justified if you add decades of career building and funding requirements and the consensus building that takes place over time that takes on more precedence than any math in support . . A much greater quantity of H2 in the presence of H1 is the natural result if we acknowledge basic chemistry, exceeding the mass of the visible component of the universe and which must be ignored to maintain control over the narrative and our inability to think and take a risk without group oriented behavior and identification in support.

It surprises me that someone with a degree in science has difficulty with this. May I be so bold as to inquire what your degree was for. I have been an amateur astronomer for decades and I understand that some of the, literally, astronomical numbers are virtually beyond human comprehension (though I'd have to defer to the likes of Penrose for definite confirmation of this). The nature of physics has entered into realms of knowledge that are without doubt more philosophical, almost as though they have gone full circle from the likes of Plato and later Descartes.

[@HuxleyCrimson]

@@mr4nders0n I have a MSc in Electrical Engineering so yeah I studied physics and took all the core classes (thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, etc.) I did not say I did not understand on an intellectual level, It's just that everytime I still find it hard to grasp on an intimate/gut level. I still am fascinated and find it mind boggling considering how far removed from the way we experience the world and day to day basis that's all

[@mr4nders0n]

@@HuxleyCrimson Juxtaposing intellectual understanding alongside "gut level" and "day to day experience" is something very few people seem to do, probably because far too many people get caught up in their own little shallow-minded, partisan, egotistical, sociopolitical mind games, even with regards to scientific theory. By being honest with ourselves, we can access far deeper and richer levels of knowledge in the hope of achieving at least some smattering of wisdom and that can only be achieved by using all our faculties, not merely "dry" intellectual understanding. No doubt gut "feeling" and "day to day experience" are "wetter" means of understanding and for those that understand things superficially tend to not juxtapose the way you do. The broader range of faculties we employ, the closer we come to truth. But the more we learn, the less we know we know, because the more questions are revealed and it seems that the growth in questions tends towards exponential.

I read an interview with now deceased British physicist/lecturer David Bohm (Dec 20, 1917-oct 27,1992 ). He speculated about a quantum energy field underlying all space. He theorized that it was a disturbance within that field that caused matter as we know it to arise. Bohm said that quantum mathematics supported that one cubic cm of this field contained more energy than the entire physical universe. The interview can be found in a book written by Renee Weber called "Dialogues with Scien t ists and Sages". This video put me in mind of Bohm's astonishing statement.

[@lodepublishing]

I guess it's "finetuned" in the same sense that at one particular point in time, when pouring water into a coup, there are exactly 10^22 molecules in the glass. From the perspective of the "10^22" this looks like a mystery how the water pourer was able to have exactly that many molecules in the glass of water. But it's just one point in time. Maybe our universe with all its "finetuning" is just a snapshot in time where everything just happens to fit.

[@theexchipmunk]

It kind of is. Hell, there is a probably small "habitable zone" in the timeline of the universe, where just enough heavy elements were formed to make life as we know it possible, with the universe still being so warm that every rocky planet of the right composition would theoretically capable of hosting liquid water. If intelligent life developed there, it would likely wonder just how this could come to pass, how could it be fine tuned that it was so extremely friendly to life. But it is not. It's just a short moment in time just after the extreme violence of its birth and just before it expands and cools off enough so space turns cold and empty for the most part. Same goes for some theoretical guessing on the future of the universe. Neutrinos might be capable of interaction between each other, they are not massless after all. Not doing anything so far because the universe is too full and violent for them to make anything stable. But, this is just very far out there ideas but they are a good example for this thought experiment, in a very far of and to us cold and empty future universe, some exotic interactions might arise and create a second wind for the universe, a world not made from matter as we know it, but neutrinos. Theoretical life forming there, would look back at the universe (if it manages to, there is problems with this but this is just a wild thought experiment) and wonder how it came to be so perfect, so well tuned for it to exist. The "early beginnings" or our times, the age of stars and matter, being the violent birth throws of the universe inhospitable to them, but somehow turning into a vibrant cosmos just right for them to inhabit. So yeah, I fully agree on that. The universe seems fine tuned, but really, we just live in the small slice of time that is hospitable to us. The vast majority of time the universe has being either too violent or too empty to make life like us possible. We are around just at the right time, not because it was tuned this way, but because it is the only time we are possible, and probability makes the likelihood for us to exist just high enough not to be impossible. I also take exception with the "exceptionalism" principle, that states that we are not special. Well, we are not special in a deeper sense, but we should know by now that a lot of things aligned just right to make intelligent life possible on earth that it is very likely not to be common at all, even with the unimaginable amount of stars and planets out there. Even if life forms very easily under the right circumstances, it needs the right circumstances. Just the right single star, created from just the right composition of gas and dust, in just the right area of the galaxy, with just the right composition of planets, with a planet in just the right area of the solar system of just the right composition and size, being hit by another planetoid of just the right size and composition in just the right way to create a large moon of just the right size and just the right heavy iron core kickstarted by this and kept agitated in just the right way to create an electromagnetic field and the planet stressed and remolten just the right amount to make plate tectonics possible. And thats just the large events needed to create earth, excluding all the fine details. Even if in our large universe these events happen a billion, billion times, all of them together, in the right order and the right ways for them to happen are exceedingly rare. So much so that id you calculate the amount of planets kind of like earth for the Milkyway galaxy, we have good guesses on the likelihood of these events, you get a number you can count on one hand, at most low double digits. In a galaxy with somewhere around 100 billion stars. Thats mind boggling, and is also the reason why I don't see so much trouble with the Fermi paradox. Because thats just making the planet, not the complex and then intelligent life on it that would build a civilization. Because of these probability's I personally think that we are in fact sadly alone, not in the universe, but in the Milky Way. There very likely is a lot of life in some basic form out there, some complex even, but I do not have high hopes for intelligent life to be around in any reachable distance at the small slot of time we are around and capable right now. We are kind of special. A unusual blip in probability that took a whole lot of coincidence to come by, looking out at the untold billions of other chances that did not pan out. Which is another point why I do not believe in "design". If you throw one hundred dice often enough, at some point all would land with the same number up, it's just most likely going to take a looooong time. If you do hundreds of billions of these throws at the same time, it's likely going to happen a lot sooner and is a lot more likely. Sorry for the rant, it´s just a fascinating topic and something that bugs me about current main stream science. The assumption that we are not something unusual despite the facts we have indicating that, yes, we are actually unusual. Not special still, but unusual.

[@lodepublishing]

​@@theexchipmunk I like rants :D I think the idea "we are not special" was born after the theory of evolution got popular enough but before we had good enough telescopes to discover planets. It's just ~30 years since the discovery of the first exoplanets and the 1980ths were full of the idea that there must be countless alien civilizations. While the creation of life is not that big of a deal (also just an issue of the "slice of time"), the bigger issue is about finding an environment where the climate is stable enough for billions of years. So, I'd be extremely surprised if we find intelligent life somewhere in the Milky Way (outside of Earth). I am waiting for a clear indicator which *galaxies* would be suitable for life (just think of frequency of supernova explosions) which might reduce the number in the (known) universe a bit. But I also believe that the universe is infinite, with big bangs happening here and there.

Kind of lame to say that Archimedes' conclusion was "just a fluke" IMO. I dunno why people insist on thinking "oh the ancients had such silly ideas it's amazing we ever got anywhere!"

It might not be economical and there might not be any reason to do it besides "because we can" but you can quite literally turn lead into gold if you have the resources.

While this is interesting, bear in mind we still don't have a unified theory for physics and as such, it's likely the case that things like dark matter, dark energy, antimatter imbalance, etc are the result of flaws in our modeling. The next 100 years of discovery should be very interesting.

The assumption that the energy of our universe should cause it to collapse on itself ignores the potential for mass/energy outside the observable universe providing balance.

[@fragile1143]

Will never be able to thank you guys enough for what you do. It really is astonishing what you are able to make. There is an absolute sense of professinalism in what you do, and it makes it an awsome watch!

[@MOSMASTERING]

I've got enough anxiety as it is.. imagine living in constant fear that the Higgs field might suddenly drop to its lowest energy state and at the speed of light proceed to tear across the universe ripping apart everything in its path to its subatomic constitutes. One second youre here. The next, you're aromic dust.

Should chemistry be denied in the ready conversion of H1 to H2 merely because H2 is difficult to detect in any direct manner in space? A paper by Canadian astronomer Paul Marmet essentially collapsed the "Big Bang" back in 1990 as he theorized the existence of intergalactic and interstellar matter as the cause of redshift rather than a doppler effect -- and accounting for anomalies much more effectively, before the discovery of the abundance of H2 throughout space, though primarily ignored by the necessities of money and career support. An abundance of H2 throughout space in a gradient that will extend to meet that of our galactic neighbor, will also account for the gravitational anomaly where the outer arms of our galaxy rotate at nearly the same rate as the central region. Quantum physics is great, dare I say so before I have dived into the math. However math hasn't actually proven the existence of dark matter, no matter how sophisticated the math is or can be . Circular reasoning isn't somehow justified if you add decades of career building and funding requirements and the consensus building that takes place over time that takes on more precedence than any math in support . . A much greater quantity of H2 in the presence of H1 is the natural result if we acknowledge basic chemistry, exceeding the mass of the visible component of the universe and which must be ignored to maintain control over the narrative and our inability to think and take a risk without group oriented behavior and identification in support.

I experienced an NDE that brought me back to the beginning when there was no time and space. What existed was only a conversation taking place....with myself and I(who was CLEARLY someone else, yet still me). It was a conversation about whether, or not, life should exist and how it could be truly justified. Therefore, this is only a mental construct or, perhaps, an electronic simulation of what it would be like actually exist. Informing us on our final decision...whether to live or not!

[@bryandraughn9830]

Excellent presentation my friend! We're definitely looking into some very big questions these days and the answers are putting up a fight. My hope is that someone makes a significant breakthrough that will enable further progress. Cheers to those who are willing to endure the frustration and inch forward.

The answer has always been there, to why there is a universe, and why we exist, but no one wants to believe it, tho it is the only one that makes any sense at all...

[@wesleygibson5546]

Maybe the only reason dark energy hasn't destroyed the universe is because the particles only exist for like a single Planck time unit, basically popping in and out of reality too quickly and never enough at once to accumulate enough mass.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Dark energy was created to keep the Big Bang theory alive. Now with the discoveries of JWST, the big bang theory and dark energy is almost a thing of the past. Jwst has already found galaxies like ours in the so called dark ages.

[@juliavixen176]

Yeah the shorter the time interval, the greater the uncertainty of the energy... but... and I should really just look this up, but... I think the energy can be either positive or negative in magnitude. "Real" energy can only be positive but "virtual" energy does not have this limitation. If the solution was just that half of the virtual energy is negative and cancels out the other positive half of all virtual energy, then I think I would have heard of this by now.

[@giuliocallegari9366]

Your documentaries are simply great. It's really hard to explain such hard topics in an easy way, matched with just a flick of poetry.

[@jonasga]

The answer to why we are observing this state of a universe is because only a type of universe that can produce observers will produce observers. We aren't observing higher entropy states because those can not produce observers. It's really not that complicated or hard to figure out. It is not a probability problem, it is a selection bias problem.

The more I learn about where the universe came from , the more it looks like to me something intervened and tipped the "Exist" scales in our favor, almost like a well meaning hacker manually overwriting the winning lottery number with the numbers we picked so we would win, but making it look like pure chance too.

[@baomao7243]

The probabilities certainly do not favor “randomly happened.

[@sunny_senpai]

think of our universe as one experiment where we came to exist because of a long series of flukes, a grand fluke. Now take another universe where no life exists, its the same as that universe not existing because there is no intelligent life in it to observe. The odds of us existing are very low but not impossible, its similar to flipping a coin countless times to see it land neither on tails/heads

Love these videos as they always make you start thinking. Like this video with the virtual particles popping in and out of existence gave me this idea- What if our universe has already expanded and contracted, and these virtual particles are particles from other past and future big bangs. Could it be that the multiverse is stacked open each other, and these particles are vibrating from other possible universes where that universe doesn’t immediately crunch back. Or the Big Bang is happening over and over again; each time creating a slightly different outcome to ours, or outcomes where nothing can be formed. So fast that those realities are unreachable as they already dont exist.

Beautiful. Everything else is secondary to the ideas contained in this, and other similar programs, about the Cosmos that surrounds our existence. The important thing is that children should not be denied an inkling of this until long after their childhood and even their teens are over. Nature and its descriptions should assail the senses through our nursery games and classroom experiences from the very beginning. That will hopefully provide an antidote to all the bigotry, violence, and ignorance that have become ingrained in our modern lives. Thanks.
