You actually can prove whether or not they're making things up. String theory, for example, is not actually a theory. It's an unproven hypothesis. And yes, they had to invent 11 dimensions in order to make it work, but those dimensions are, like string theory, only shown in mathematics, not proven. They are ideas of how the universe could work, not models of how we believe it works.

Real astronomer here and i am surprised the video did not tap this down to layman's terms so folks can comprehend just how fast the speed of light really is. At 186,000 mps (miles per SECOND) that is 7 times around the Earth in one second. Think about maintaining that speed for over 4 years to the closest Sun, Alpha Centauri. Human's have no metal or engine anywhere close to the technology. Little trivia for those of you that were Lost in Space tv show fans, Alpha Centauri was mentioned in the show and really is the closest Sun to planet Earth. Its actually a triple star system but i digress.

[@davidcooley275]

The cosmic inflation number you guys laughed at has been getting quite the review in the last 5 yrs as that knowledge was from the late 1980's. The CERN Lab in Europe has changed astronomy's whole notion of time and space. Officially called cosmic inflation theory, it has not been totally discarded but does lack proof. Astronomers know the big bang happened 13.7 billion yrs ago but the question is what was there before the event. From any explosion you can trace it back in time and that is what we did with the cosmic background radiation the explosion left as a trail. In 1964 Penzias and Wilson first discovered CMB (cosmic background radiation) and measured it at 3.5K and led to confirm the big bang theory. The 2 Americans went on to win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1978 for their groundbreaking discovery.

[@John_Weiss]

So I can explain how we know/discovered all of this! And I'll do it in "Physics for Poets" style. So, first a question: Why do you want new phones with cameras that have more megapixels? Same with telescopes - we all want better pictures! So every since the first telescope was invented 500ish years ago, people wanted something better. Galileo: "Look! Jupiter has 4 little moons around it!" Cassini: "Whoa! Saturn has this huge honking ring around it!" Later Generations: "Cool! But it's all fuzzy … let's try inventing better telescopes." Basic human stuff: the more we saw, the more we wanted to see it _better._ The next ingredient is Geometry. The Ancient Babylonians, 4000 years ago, had figured out (1) the Earth is a sphere; (2) the Earth's radius [i.e. how big the Earth is]; (3) that the moon was 30 Earths away, or "60 times the radius of the Earth. All with Geometry. And math: we actually have clay tablets from Ancient Babylon with some kid's math-homework on it! [The Ancient Babylonians were obsessed with the number 60. Religious significance, apparently.] We can use that same Geometry to figure out how large all of the planets' orbits are and how far away they are. And as we made better and better telescopes, we could take that same Geometry and apply it to those better images. And with that, we were now measuring how far away the stars are. The Sun is a pretty important thing, we can all agree. So, no surprise, people wanna know how the damn thing works! And how far away it is. But, see, once you know that, you can then compute how bright the Sun looks on Mars. And around Jupiter. And at Saturn. That same math and physics also lets us compute how bright each star looks close up. Well, once we figured out that the stars were just other suns. So, once we knew how the Sun works, we knew how _all stars_ work. And we were already measuring how far away the nearby ones were. And we can measure how bright they look _here_ on Earth. That's all you need to compute how bright each star is close up. And once you know how a star works, and how bright it is, guess what? You can calculate _how big the star is!_ Okay, so: the Geometry part, which we need to measure how far away a star is, only really works out about 6000-8000 light-years, if I remember correctly. I won't bore you with the math behind why unless you really wanna know. So how do we know about all that stuff *millions* of light-years away?!?!? Enter "The Ladder of Standard Candles" Remember how we all wanted to know how the Sun worked? And how that then told us how the stars work? Well, after watching lots of stars to _make sure we had our models right_, we started seeing behaviors that the Sun don't do. And some stars seemed to act in the same "different-from-everyone-else" ways. Back to the whiteboard - time to enhance the models about stars! Okay, great. We know more and more about stars … different kinds of stars even … the more and more we look out there in space with our telescopes, which we always want to keep making better. Throwing the Hubble Space Telescope into, well, space helps us see more clearly. There are other space-telescopes, but they don't look at the sky using visible light. They look at infra-red, microwaves, x-rays, gamma-rays - which are actually all different "colors" of light that we can't see. But that's an explanation for another time. Turns out certain kinds of stars are always the same brightness. Like, exactly the same. So say you have one of this kind of star "nearby" … near enough that we can still use the Geometry part of computing how far away it is _and how bright it is close up._ But Remember: this kind of star always has the same brightness as the others! So once you know how bright one of them is close up, you know how bright they all are. Take actual brightness. Take "how-bright-does-it-look-to-us". You can compute the distance to _any_ of this kind of star, no matter how far away, no Geometry problems anymore! It's a "Standard Candle" glowing in the dark. And if we see one of this kind of star in another galaxy, when we compute how _far away it is,_ we also know how _far away the galaxy_ that it's in is. We now have a way to figure out the distance to nearby galaxies. But, again, this technique can only get us so far. To figure out larger distances, we need more knowledge. More physics, more chemistry, more astronomy. And wouldn't you know, in the past 50-70 years, we've been figuring all that out. There's a certain kind of supernova that's always the same brightness. This is the next "Standard Candle". So we used the "certain-kind-of-star" technique to measure how far away a nearby galaxy with one of these supernovas is. And Here We Go Again: "How far away it is" + "how bright does it look from Earth" gives us "How bright was this exploding star to anyone close enough to get fried by it?" This kind of supernova is always an identical explosion, so look for others in galaxies even further away and measure how bright the bang looks from Earth. We know how bright it is close up. We can measure the distance to it. And this new "Standard Candle" in the dark is frickin' exploding star! Kinda hard to miss. Really easy to still see from very, very, VERY FAR away. But this still doesn't get us to the very outer edges of The Observable Universe. For that, we use the expansion of the universe [discovered by Edwin Hubble at the start of last century] and the Cosmic Background Radiation [discovered, accurately measured, and modeled at the end of last century]. Okay, so I'm being _really handwavy_ here. Can't be helped. Just know that we use this information _combined with all of the science, measurements from telescopes of all kinds, and techniques for computing distances_ to get us to the furthest reaches of the Observable Universe. So it's not just one person figuring this out. It's 4000 years of humans, generation after generation, learning, discovering, observing, computing, _and using what the previous generations learned_ to figure out the new stuff _that the next generation_ will build upon.

They didn’t say everything you’ve ever known they said EVERYONE you’ve ever known

[@Piyush17Kumar]

7:34 its actually not dramatized, when the said speech is given by Carl Sagan himself, a pioneer in Cosmo Science Research and Theories, who has dedicated their life to such studies.

[@sillygoofygoobergoose8692]

Lmao your guys reactions are always a great laugh. Keep it up 😂😂😂

[@darthsauron7727]

that stupid looking number at the end would have been the first bit of time in existence hence it being so low lol

[@Nipponing]

3:45 Where are there shadows in two directions? And if there were, the craft has lights too for sure...

[@Navy-Seal-Ninja90]

the flag moves because he moves it. sure theres no wind. but things will still move around if you touch it and move it around. :-D

[@MasonHarris58]

This gives me fucking anxiety 😂😂

[@jscarampi]

2:53 You can Say that You are not looking at the sun or the moon, You are looking that the ligth that reaches the earth, so yeah, still in the earth

[@johncassles7481]

What causes a shadow to go two ways is 1. the light source and 2. a very powerful and large reflective surface. It was argued that the reflective surface of the Lunar Lander was in the right position to reflect the sun's light back onto the flag from the other angle.

[@weiSane]

Office blokes are funny af 😂

[@sotirisgalanis2530]

The fact that maybe some aliens watching earth from a microscope like the humans watching the atom🤯🤯🤯🤯💀💀💀💀

[@spazbog123]

The analogy is Pluto is the universe and all we know about or can see (the observable universe) is the size of a light bulb sitting on Pluto.

[@OutNaturing]

haha we should have gotten stoned for this. never heard truer words spoken lol you guys are great. American fan enjoying your vids

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

Actually a grain of sand within the light bulb within Pluto size comparison would represent the size of the Laniakea Supercluster. Earth would be a tiny fraction of the size of a quark, the fundamental particle that makes up hadrons like protons and neutrons, so way tinier and more insignificant and precious than a grain of sand.

[@rocinante4609]

Watch Carl Sagan's full speech. The point he was making wasn't that we are insignificant which is kinda obvious. His point was that the Earth and our existence is incredibly fragile. Thats why we should take more care of each other and the natural world because it's the only one we got.

[@willblood7082]

Pinto: OK, so that means that our whole solar system could be like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being, this is nuts! That means that one tiny atom in my fingernail could be... Professor Jennings: ...could be one tiny little universe! Pinto: Can I buy some pot from you?

[@iAFKall_day]

If you look closer you can see all the moon shadows are facing the same direction. The space shuttle is behind and to the left of the camera man, the sun is behind them casting shadows.

[@dancepartyinmyhead]

A college roommate and I used to get high and watch "The Universe" from Discovery channel. I didn't think I was a woooooaaaaahhhhh kinda stoner but I guess I was.

[@arranlarcome]

you know why im here by now xD the dooo modern warfare adult edition lol!

[@bradskep]

the light reflecting from earth+ the ssun + light from the craft

[@cognitiveinstinct2929]

I don't see where you're seeing shadows going different ways, but another light source is the earth... right there in the background. Its a bit bigger than the moon and its surface is mostly water so its more reflective, hence brighter.

[@clipsedrag13]

I think the most mind blown i ever was, was hearing NDGT on cosmos doing the same thing but with visuals that slowly keep going further out.

[@abhilashmishra4016]

I feel you guys are most logical and make sense in a discussion as per physics and space, than any other reaction channel I've came accross so far😅🔥

[@badthiliono9141]

Fun fact the voyager may not be the furthest man made thing from earth but rather some manhole covers we sent into space on accident. They also happen to be the fastest objects that man has made.

[@rebeccabailey527]

You're talking about that one atomic bomb test that sent a metal cover flying right? It didn't make it anywhere near space.

[@joshuabolton3866]

The Ocean is way deeper than you think is a crazy video too

[@timberTRS]

Imagine... every grain of sand on Earth as a Sun with its own solar system of planets... Crazy

[@citisoccer]

Yes. We, as individual humans, mean nothing. What it SHOULD clarify is that EVERY last human is on the same team, and we need to get over the stupid ish that separates us. The ONLY point of humanity is to advance it, and that takes everyone working toward common goals. Funny thing about Voyager: The first humans to leave our solar system, and the ship they travel on, are a LONG time from existing. However, they will certainly leave our solar system before Voyager, and could even swing by and scoop it up lol.

[@bluebenjamin7589]

Even if some scientists or even everyday people like those guys who make fantasy webnovels are just "making stuff up" it is still Meaningful because Existence is reasonable, you need some basis of thought to "make stuff up" and even if your office workers cant disprove it because you cant understand it , there will be someone who can and will prove or disprove stuff , thus we as a civilization make progress.

[@TheNeonParadox]

I've watched this video hundreds of times, and I could watch it a hundred more. Suggestion for others watching the video. Drink every time someone makes a conspiracy theory joke. lol

[@Mary-xc9dh]

I was not stoned enough for this

[@AnimusZen]

13:30 - I just commented on another of your space videos, saying that according to the math there are 100 nonillion (1 with 32 zeroes) stars in our known universe. Since I have the data handy, per this video the estimate of the total universe in star count is now 100 sexdecillion (1 with 53 zeroes).

[@bowtie_cat]

You should watch a timelapse of the future: a journey through time It's like a cinematic orchestration of the universe from now to the end and the soundtrack to accompany the video is astonishing

[@nellspop1]

Brilliant, thanks guys.

[@drobichaud1000]

Lol the breaking point happened with cosmic inflation ... "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!"
