I signed up to Wren to offset my carbon footprint and get on with my life, but they insisted on sending me emails every few days reminding me about my footprint and what they're using my money to do, and trying to push me up to higher subscription levels. That's the opposite of what I wanted from dealing with that voice at the back of my vegan head, not constantly reminding me that I have a carbon footprint. So I cancelled my subscription and reverted to the relative bliss of ignorance

[@stevebrindle1724]

I left school at 18 with 2 A levels and no interest in learning more, I wanted to earn money to help my family. As I got older (I am now 70 yrs old) I found curiosity and the need to learn more about the world around me growing in me. As a young man, the Internet only existed in science fiction with tablets appearing on Star Trek. I was 37 before I got my first computer and utterly amazed and delighted that I could learn so much through the click of a mouse! Cosmology and Quantum physics are my main interests and I love this channel that allows a working-class guy like myself access to such knowledge. Also, Art and culture and my other love, history are available to all of us. As a person who lived a large part of my life without the internet, I feel blessed by it in a way I doubt that kids born into this period of history can appreciate it So much knowledge available to us all can only, I pray, improve the human condition!!

The power of sin takes control of everyone but easy to overwhelm sin with knowledge. I'm not sure what fully is going on with my way of thinking because everything I thought of as a child was created and explained more. I've been talking about all are technology an cars running off clean energy 30 or so years ago; since everyone seen me as a child I was joked from the adults, I been talking about the lords power towards myself an a few random people like yourself. Oh the clean energy, change gasoline tank with a salt water tank, the salt water tank will cook the water into gas and the gas pumped into the gasoline intake spot on the motors we still have. The government will take all your resources away leaving us trash items/homes/medical insurance. I've lived enough to see a majority of criminals no one understands or puts 2 an 2 together to enlighten the knowledge of anything. We started with Republicans turns to sin, democrats healed us again like how Republicans started healing us from president Lincoln, now democrats are sinning an a 8-12 year old can understand what is right an wrong. Trump was a Republican so I ain't getting tricked easily, oh yes a person preventing being arrested being a president from Joe Bidens being president but do you think it's really Joe Bidens fault? You have Obama Hilary an mostly all democrats trying to get a fat chunk of money and take off. Trumps sinful illusion towards the people is one thing but if are rights/laws change during his time or has to be changed in a amount of time of a different president. They see everyone layed back and they are rushing towards America. Knowledge gets removed from schools every 4 or so years making everyone lack knowledge for 60+ years, your knowledge should surpass me in words and sentencing but you have the knowledge to fully understand everything I texted you. Right now we are looking at the power of God, could have the ability to create anything like the lord himself to a limit. Are brains think with imagination, Jesus wants to save the ones who died that won't perish but have everlasting life, also it says Jesus wants his word out to save the world. Now im thinking save the world? But you saved us from sin/death or when we die or not. Knowledging the 1 true God eternal life and praying does what exactly, the power in are brains energy thinking of the lord while Loving God. I see God everywhere the more I learn because I have nothing to do other then read/learn from everything, I don't work, I'm on disability and the more I want to get closer to God the more information is being released onto everyone but the sin prevents us from helping out each other to a limit until people start to talk to people that doesn't seem to matter too much towards their perspective < as in me choosing you out of all the people in the text. Makes me wonder the transformation of a new spacetime dimension being made from blackwholes, sucking resources from are spacetime to another, blackwholes form into each other becoming bigger and stars getting bigger and/or die off. I've had predictions towards my thoughts, The Simpsons is a Sin towards my name that will show illusion towards my name. This is me my life and no one else's, supposedly everyone is a demon sinning towards me but it could be a limited amount total if I search for righteousness as I am now. You or anyone else reading this will question more and more but be layed out with knowledge in are face, mostly everything is MATH knowledge. Lord of all knowledge but a empty space creating life as we see it but he gives Satan his same power. Everything has a choosing to do something negative or positive towards anything but imagine Satan saying "Oops I showed sin/negative" or Satan never left and is controlling America trying to fix something he shouldn't have done.

I know these things because they are interesting and I’ve grown up being told the information but I still end up working at a basic factory job, despite being more enlightened than even the most educated person a few generations ago. Idk man. I’m only 19 but this video feels like it’s just describing the basics. I’ve always heard about these ideas in school or just browsing KZbin and I’m sure everybody knows about them. But I don’t see how knowing the basics of how light works or the universe began will help any regular person. How is knowledge helping

[@Laroac]

​@@live_destin-3408 It's about having that possibility. Knowledge is an open door, it's your responsibility to make something out of it, not it's responsibility to make something out of you. You are free to learn anything and even free to learn how to apply what you learned. If you really want to. Even in the most dire circumstances you have what you know nobody can't take that away from you apart from death/ dementia/alzheimer/old age. Every bit of understood knowledge opens it self up to myriad connections to other knowledge, it opens you eyes up to a whole new web of relationships, similarities and reoccurenses.

[@ronaldpettifurd5957]

​@@adamnsmartguy3574I could not agree more. Professing to be wise, they became fools. I believe that the more we see and understand the universe, the more we can literally observe his "handiwork". Time, space, and matter had to be brought into existence by something outside of time, space, and matter. The uncaused cause, is not a what, but a who. And in an unfathomable amount of grace, allows us to know him personally. I admire the wonder, and awe that many scientists possess when it comes to observing the incredible size of the universe, both large and small. We cannot even comprehend how big the universe is, nor how small matter can be. As science progresses we find smaller and smaller building blocks. I can only imagine, the wonder and awe that these scientists experience would be exponentially increased with the recognition of the creator.

"I usually say two cheers for the multiverse because there are good reasons of physics and cosmology for supposing that what we see may not be all you get. That there may be other regions of space and time that could be different. So it's not an unreasonable speculation. However, it falls far short of being a complete theory of existence, which is often presented as. That as if there's a multiverse, then we can forget about all the mysteries of the universe because it's all explained. Everything is out there somewhere. End of story. Well, it's simply not true, because to get a multiverse, you need a universe-generating mechanism. Something has got to make all those big bangs go bang. So you're going to need some laws of physics to do that. And you can say, well, where do they all come from? So all you've done is shift the problem of existence up from the level of universe to the level of multiverse, but you haven't explained it. I suppose, for me, the main problem is that what we're trying to do is explain why the universe is as it is by appealing to something outside of it. In this case an infinite number of universes outside of it. That, to me, is no better than traditional religion that appeals to an unseen unexplained God that is outside of the universe. I'm prepared to accept that what we see isn't the totality, that there may be regions of space and time, other universes, if you like, that could be rather different from what we observe. But I certainly don't believe that all possible universes are out there, and that the explanation for the universe that we see is because everything imaginable exists, and that this particular one we see, just because it happens to be one that we live in. I think that falls far short of a proper explanation. Indeed, I think it's contradictory and absurd." . . If all is random and our universe is the only universe, the chance existence of human awareness would seem incredible. Because the laws of physics would have to be so carefully calibrated to enable stars and planets to form and life to emerge, it would seem to require some kind of design.

[@raycar1165]

Their rhetoric is strong but if it takes more than five minutes to find fatal flaws in the theory your not looking in the right place. Of the fifteen or so predictions bbt makes, they got one right. Seems like it debunks itself to me. We are witnessing a paradigm shift in slow motion. The academics don’t want to loose their position so they ignore and/or attack any evidence that is contrary to their beliefs. They’ll say it’s not peer reviewed, because they won’t review it. They will give your telescope time to someone who fits with their ideals. They’ll find some reason to attack the person with insults or say their not qualified to speak on the subject. And when confronted with undeniable evidence they will say they just have to adjust the theory. Some parts are unfalsifiable hypotheses. That’s not scientific. Or controversially, change their predictions after the data was collected, as with the CMB (“To quote Physics Essays in summary, Big Bang Theory Under Fire, regarding the CMB (aka the MBR): “History also shows that some Big Bang cosmologists’ ‘predictions’ of MBR [microwave background radiation] temperature have been ‘adjusted’ after-the-fact to agree with observed temperatures.” Mitchell, pp. 370-379”) Every comet we’ve studied has shot holes in their theory. The need for two different theories, one micro and one macro should be enough to show us we’re on the wrong track. Connecting the dots could give us a very distorted picture of our world if we don’t fully understand the circuit it’s using. I wish you the best and hope you take another look “tabula rasa”.

In one 45 minute video I’ve just been presented with the most startlingly profound information I could possibly hope in just 45 minutes. I don’t know who put this together but he’s an Olympic gold medalist standard teacher. I’m going to watch it again, not because I didn’t understand it the first time around - though I confess that there were a few parts which I didn’t - but because it’s my feeling that it will be like a magnificent landscape painting, always ready to reveal something new. To its creator: my sincere thanks.

[@kahlrhoam6769]

Excellent video, again! What really blows my mind, amongst other things, is that we are dense enough, to disallow photons, enough to cause a shadow on the ground, floors & walls. Yet, water & silicone are still quite dense, sometimes denser than we are, but, they still allow photons to pass through them. A clarity puzzle, to me. 🤔

[@HexerPsy]

What puzzles you is quantum physics. Light is made of photons, which are particle-waves - photons have both properties. But photons can only have certain energies: it must be a multiplier of Planck's constant. Based on the energy, atoms interact differently, or they do not if the energy is too great. Its kinda like a lock and key - if you dont have the proper energy close enough to the "key", nothing happens, the photon doesnt fit in the "lock". More importantly, if you have less energy than the key, the interaction can never happen. So water will interact with infrared light by absorbing the energy of the photon (turns it into kinetic energy, or heat). We use this in a microwave to heat your food for example. Water in our visible range is strong enough that it doesnt fit most locks, and it gets scattered (makes the atom jiggle then gets emitted again, rather than absorbed). Blue light is stronger than red, and on this part of water absorbtion spectrum, more red light gets aborbed and blue light gets more scattered. This is why water is blue in the distance under water. But for very high power x-rays, another phenomenon occurs: the photon will knock off the electron from the water molecule, making it an ion. So for high power x-rays the water is very scatter heavy and opache. Other materials have different properties based on their electron clouds and density. A fun example is infrared through a trash bag - for that infrared the trash bag is seethrough.

[@dominicgiglio-tos5982]

Would love a video on the different theoretical "ends" of the universe and the support behind the theories. Heat death and such. It would probably get good views too. Great work as always!

[@reshpeck]

As I mentioned in another comment, what surprises me about the continued consideration (in some circles) of some infinity of universes with different settings as being a viable explanation for the fine tuning problem is that the current paradigm of dark energy accelerating the universe towards an eventual and eternal heat death completely contradicts the infinite cycles of death and rebirth. It woukd really be something, wouldn't it, if the one-in-one-hundred-billion-trillon odds that this particular universe coming about that could lead to the formation of atoms, stars, and minds capable of thinking about this stuff, would also be the very last one because there won't be another resetting of the dials. Pretty silly, it seems obvious to me to be.

[@six-o-sar3578]

I used to have nightmares in a white room with colors chasing me or of me not getting away from the lights it was like a maze. It’s crazy to me that what your describing was actually a nightmare of mine growing up and I honestly do not know why. I tell people about my nightmares all the time not just in recent times it’s a story I always tell because I still don’t know why or how.

[@dancincoolkid]

I had similar nightmares as a kid. As a very young child, I attended Catholic school. Anytime I heard about the concept of "eternity," where nothing changed, EVER, I felt inexplicable despair, to the point that I'd have nightmares about a light source that never dimmed and blinded me. I didn't know how to explain my nightmares to other people. Once I was an adolescent, I finally somewhat understood the white-hot terror that I felt when confronted with a concept like "infinity." Doesn't make it any less terrifying, though, even as an adult in my thirties.

I always loved this idea of the big crunch. Because if the universe is always crushing on himself to regenerate into a new bang and a new universe, then it is like a heart beat. I've always been fascinated by the similarities between super small and giants structures. By example look at our roads and highways. It looks like Ants road. It looks like our vein but it also look like those hyperstructures that 'connects' galaxies in our universe. There is a ton of similarities like that. (it doesn't mean that there is a meaning tho) The fact that the universe itself looks like a heartbeat is just so beautiful ...

@@Vile_Entity_3545 Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely go check this out. The guy looks a little bit like an alien from the planet tooth, but I look like something that was injected with horse genes anyways lmao I think about many of these theoretical and proposed concepts by myself, daily. I haven't looked into much about the big bang, but the background radiation of the universe has strongly convinced me that our big bang wasn't some kind of rare, exquisite event. More like it happens all the time, not like an infinite loop but by a dying of large stellar masses. The evidence is literally everywhere -- especially if you think slightly longer than 5 minutes about the conservation of energy. Seeing emissions discovered FROM a black hole completely changed my view of the universe. I'll get back to you after I listen to this series.

[@Vile_Entity_3545]

@@Rakadeja Black holes have something to do with the regeneration of matter. It all must have been here forever as you can’t make something out of nothing. If you look at eternity which has been forever and will be forever more, how has this thing come out of nowhere and then will disappear in trillions of years only for it to never happen again? I think the black holes have something to do with the constant generation of matter. A friend and I back in the 90’s were coming out with stuff that only over the last decade mainstream astrophysicists are now theorising. Funny that a couple of nobodies could be in front of thinking than they are. There are a lot of people who keep contemplating whether the is universe infinite. That is very strange coming from some very prominent astrophysicists. Now I thought we could see the very first galaxies, so how could anybody even mention whether the universe is infinite? Does that really show that nobody really knows and all these measurements only theorise that they are seeing the universe at 300,000 years old? I had a thought that sooner or later cosmic rays and photons of light as well as every other bits of matter must make their way into a black hole eventually if it really does go on forever, hence boom and whatever is in the black holes come out as new matter ready to be made into gas and stars again. I do not believe in hawking radiation unless that is the matter coming out at a slow rate. We do not see black holes explode as we hardly see supernovas and there are trillions of stars in the universe. How often do black holes explode if they do at all? We as humans just cant get our heads around that something can be here forever without a start. In reality there should be nothing at all forever but it is here so must have been forever. You cant get rid of energy, just change its form and black holes and their singularities are the powerhouses involved with that magical change in low entropy matter back into what fuels the universe. Maybe I am completely wrong but it is a good a theory as any other I have heard.

The multiverse problem. By Paul Davies, a cosmologist not bound by any tradition. "I usually say two cheers for the multiverse because there are good reasons of physics and cosmology for supposing that what we see may not be all you get. That there may be other regions of space and time that could be different. So it's not an unreasonable speculation. However, it falls far short of being a complete theory of existence, which is often presented as. That as if there's a multiverse, then we can forget about all the mysteries of the universe because it's all explained. Everything is out there somewhere. End of story. Well, it's simply not true, because to get a multiverse, you need a universe-generating mechanism. Something has got to make all those big bangs go bang. So you're going to need some laws of physics to do that. And you can say, well, where do they all come from? So all you've done is shift the problem of existence up from the level of universe to the level of multiverse, but you haven't explained it. I suppose, for me, the main problem is that what we're trying to do is explain why the universe is as it is by appealing to something outside of it. In this case an infinite number of universes outside of it. That, to me, is no better than traditional religion that appeals to an unseen unexplained God that is outside of the universe. I'm prepared to accept that what we see isn't the totality, that there may be regions of space and time, other universes, if you like, that could be rather different from what we observe. But I certainly don't believe that all possible universes are out there, and that the explanation for the universe that we see is because everything imaginable exists, and that this particular one we see, just because it happens to be one that we live in. I think that falls far short of a proper explanation. Indeed, I think it's contradictory and absurd." . . If all is random and our universe is the only universe, the chance existence of human awareness would seem incredible. Because the laws of physics would have to be so carefully calibrated to enable stars and planets to form and life to emerge, it would seem to require some kind of design.
