----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study as well as New York University (NYU).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Card: How might the universe end?
Michio Kaku: Well, when we try to look at the whole universe itself -- many people ask the question, "Well Professor, how do you know -- how do you know that the universe is expanding? How do you know that it came from a big bang? How can you project so far into the future, billions to trillions of years into the future? Well one way we do this is by looking at the Doppler shift. Now, the doppler shift is something that even children are familiar with. When children play "Star Wars" with each other, they go err, err, err with their rocket ships. Right? Well, what makes that err, sound? It's the Doppler effect. When a car moves toward you, the pitch is higher, when the car moves away from you the pitch is lower. And it sounds like this. Eee err. We've all heard it. Same thing with starlight. When yellow light moves toward you, it turns greenish and bluish. When the yellow light moves away from you it turns reddish.
Now, how can you memorize this? Well, I was reading a paper a few years ago and I read this fascinating story of a high school physics teacher who got a speeding ticket for running a red light. The physics teacher went to the blackboard and said, "Your Honor. My car was moving toward a yellow light. Light is compressed in a forward direction when you move toward it, and therefore it turned green. This is the Doppler shift," he said. And he went to the black board and he correctly wrote down all the equations of the Doppler shift. And then this high school physics teacher said, "Your Honor. I do not deserve a traffic ticket." Well, the judge scratched his head and according to the article, the judge said, "Well, I guess there is a law higher than the state of New Jersey, and these are the laws of physics." But then, according to the article, there was a high school kid in the court room and he raised his hand and he said, "Your Honor, I'm just a high school kid, but I happen to be in his high school physics class and he just taught this a couple of weeks ago that this only happens when you approach the speed of light." End of article.
To this day, I still don't know what happened to that poor high school kid. But I tell my students, that if I'm ever in court arguing a speeding ticket or red light, they better not raise their hand if they know what's good for them and they know what's good for their grade.
So, when we look in the heavens, we look at starlight emitted from distant galaxies and we find that the light is slightly reddish. Redder than it's supposed to be. That means that these objects, the gigantic galaxies are moving away from us and therefore the universe is expanding. Well, we could run the video tape backwards, and by running the video tape backwards we could then calculate when all these galaxies came from a single point. And that's how we calculate the age of the universe, by simply hitting the rewind button when we calculate the expansion of the universe.
So by running the video tape backwards, we see that the universe is about 13.7 billion years old, plus or minus 1%. So, we now know the age of the universe. 13.7 billion years by running the video tape backwards. But what happens if we hit fast forward. What happens if we go forward in time billions of years? Well, here it gets murkier. But by analyzing how the universe has been expanding in the past, we used to think that the universe is slowing down. We used to think the universe is aging and therefore it's slowing down; running out of steam. Wrong. We now believe that the universe is speeding up. It's actually accelerating, in runaway mode which means that in stead of dying in a big crunch, we'll probably die in a big freeze.

[@SrmthfgRockLee]

+HikariBelle cool picture avatar. Well parallel universe travel happens 24/7 I think. I read about fate and in 2007 or 2009 I think 2009 it was proven that free will of atoms.. or paticles exists in a experiment, 2 things connected and choosing different spinning directions what is limited is only the speed of the transfer of information when one particle chose one direction it's as if the other one knew that and chose another one, I know english well and I couldn't fully translate to myself what I was reading but it was complicated words and it sounded very pleasing + I believe I understood the meaning overall nd as The Matrix says I don't like the idea that I am not in control of my own fate.. I know fate exists and we're on chains of fate 24/7 but we have temporary time within which we can change some fate, if u hvae "50" enery and one pushup costs 5 energy and eating a cake costs 10 energy u can eat 5 cakes or do 10 push-ups, due to boringness.. meaning of life being movement it's inevitable u'll use that enery, but u choose how,what,where.. u can do like 3 pushups and eat 2 cakes.. it will be like 135 energy and u have 15 left, instead of 10 push-ups so there in a way u choose which of the universes'.. possibilities to go to. I like to imagine being in the singularity.. of a black hole, falling in it.. I often use that as a description to how I feel when I'm in a Nirvana state.. feeling perfect like in synchronisity with the universe, the particles.. joining paralell universes, you can feel perfect now but by thinking about time you might be able to make sure u feel this way longer, in a way combining more than one thing on the same spot yet 2 things can't exist at the same time.. interesting to imagine though, and well.. yeah when u're in the future the current time will be a past time.. but it's almost as if its 2 things on the same spot + u might feel some parallel universes, particles change dimensions 24/7 I think from what I heard of videos.. vibrating particles all of the time, cannot ever be fully stoped will always find enough enery to burst out and there isn't ever an empty space.. eitherway it's fun to imagine parallel universes and I like to think just like Einstein said 2 things are always connected even if u do a aworld record and don't show it to anyone.. did it on ur own.. u know the same u will do it billions of years in the future or in a parallel universe.. so it's never forgotten fully(or at least not forever) and u're never alone, it might be you with 1 atom changed with some other object.. everything else to be same but biology/physics are in a way same, 1 electron.. electron, they're the same as eachother + if the cycles do actually repeat it might just be happening for the same time too, like 3 millions of years might be one cycle, and it can repeat trillions of years later that 3 millions of years cycle, and then in trillions of years again coz it has repeated, trillions of year pass and repeats again so in a way it might be actually the exact same you, you're combined to be your personal self now then sooner or later our particles seperate when we become 100-200 years old.. al though some people say some live 200+ years.. maybe with those frozen for years technologies or indians who run 700km without stoping to drink/eat/sleep.. well these are just stories but the brain is an amazing thing, the less u eat the better and always keep training/moving, if yer not that trained better get sleep.. I experimented and I figured out unless there's some special training.. meditating 24/7 or something cannot live without sleep tried training to clear body of toxins 24/7 eating 24/7 music 24/7 having fun 24/7 on computer, games.., making a combination between the things best was to train in the day and in the night to stay on pc like a disco listening 5+ musics @ the same time, it's good to always keep ur brain entertained... listen to music, eat only if ure hungry unless u know u gona be busy with some concer/twork for like 5-10 hours without having breaks to eat then u can eat without being hungry, also for 10km+ marathons good to eat before.. but well nowdays I usually eat in the night as much as I can then I'm free for the whole next day.. mm so yeah trained during the day but found no way to live without sleep yet and it's healthy, there isn't much difference, reality is stronger but u rest and it's nearly the same u can dream cool stuff and it can be loadsL0ts of fun.. I myself am going in the MatrixDreamWorld now. 442016Monday011603 sometimes when u're in a negative vibration/timeline/universe it's nice to imagine changing it, do some future jumps to get back on the rightp ositive tracks or just change ur universe.. if it's possible. The feeling where every1 talk the same words outside as you think them might be due to your thoughts/law of attraction.. like you see your reflection in others by the words/movements you think of/do. The faster you move the slower time goes for u and that's a permanent motivator to keep moving.. and keep moving fast! You can do more things.. and running is healthy, some say overtraining is bad but I kind of disdagree + you might feel when u need a break and really enjoy that break.. 1-3 days after like a 11hours 74km I did at 20th march 2016, 6hours 55km in 2015, 4000 sit-ups 4 hours november 2011, 123kmhome bike 6hours, and my first 42km was december 2012, official 42,195km marathon 2015 4hours 8min. THe more u type the less bored/sleepy you are, trains your brain/language even if no1 reads it, people take 1minute ENglish & other languages typing tests at the site 10fastfingers all the time, some might make videos/take history.. others just for the fun so I don't mind if no1 reads this long comment, was fun doing it & some1 might find some use ;p.. but yeah have a balance, type until satisfied as usually it's best to remember everything in ur brain/train it the most unless some1 is reading else I could probably continue for another 35+ lines but have no gurantee some1 will read :P and it's already pretty long. Time to fight Morpheus & Neo!

So he pretends to be Richard Dawkins starting extremist atheism. You know: life and conscousness has another side: death an what death reveals.

Plus the fact that time is part of the Universe hence there was no time before the Universe existed.

[@autisticseaotter]

What gets me is the same way nothing existed before what exists outside the boundaries of the expanding universe? Is it also nothingness?

[@yt_makemsalty9755]

Some say it's a cycle. So the big bang isn't so much a starting point as it is a point in a cycle. So first, for the sake of argument, you have the Big Bang this leads to expansion where we find things taking pace like the accretion theory all the way to life playing out. This leads to Compression, then as everything comes together, Bang. Another big bang. Maybe this is some Type 10 Civilizations way of producing energy lol Not really. I'm new to this stuff, just got into it. This is how I understood it, but this video I gather is saying Compression doesn't happen, implying what(?), the Big Bang is back to being a starting point?

the universe is infinite, period !! that will never change. so many universes so many light years and in different directions as well. after seeing pictures that the james webb telescope showed the world, my world and my thoughts opened wide up ! i dont recall how many light years away it was showing us all, but it was incredible and amazing. so millions of galaxies and stars and planets as far as a human eye can see and as far as technology can show us. it just goes and goes !

When he says that the temperature will reach absolute zero he means 0 Kelvin or -273 °C, right?

[@johnwang9914]

Well 0 Kelvin or -273.15 Celsius. The interesting thing is that there is an experiment to trick a quantum gas into being slightly below absolute zero. www.nature.com/news/quantum-gas-goes-below-absolute-zero-1.12146

[@johnbro6261]

I thought that I would weigh in. Mr. Kaku is excellent in his presentations. Consider that there are four components of structure to the universe: Space, as a universal medium that extends throughout infinity, time, as a unit of measurement, matter as energy that comprises the physical reality of structure, and life force, common to all living things. Parallel universes may have the component of an influence of intelligence that comprises moving beyond the physical to become pure living energy. If we were to explore the concept of defining the infinity of life force, such would constitute the understanding of God as the infinity of created intelligence creating itself: No matter how far back in time that one goes, there is always an infinity that preceded it. Connect what we call alien visitation to a being that is so highly evolved that it can navigate between parallel universes, the same as travel between star systems. Parallel universes are likely different in the complexity of structure between them: Some with shorter or longer distances between celestial objects, and varying degrees as to how time elapses in how intelligence interprets its surroundings. Size of a universe is another possible consideration, with characteristics unique to relationships of the celestial objects contained within. Temperature may be variable, affecting the formation and longevity of the objects between one another. The explosive potential in formation may yield characteristics that determine the development of life and intelligence, and, of course, intelligence interpreting the ultimate structure and purpose as the destiny of influence to creation and expenditure of energy. As Mr. Kaku said, eventually the universe experiences entropy, freezing into the oblivion of ultimate darkness. My favorite line from Old Testament scripture: The force of creation itself in the continuation of life. And God said: Let there be light, and there was light. The void of space becoming eternal destiny in the continuation of the collective journey of life throughout the infinity of time, ever increasing in the complexity of experience into the depths of the infinite universe that contains the infinity of parallel universes.

[@MDope-us2vx]

well, i have my own crazy theory. What if the universes come and go. I mean that before the universe we live in, there was another kinda identical but due to a black hole that overexceeded the matter it can support, the black hole just exploded realesing matter that was 'eaten' , creating our own universe .Maybe this how our universe started?

[@lebron6shez]

lool i swear i used to think the same thing as a child , i used too we are a new age of life and everything before 1900's died and went away :P

[@johnwang9914]

Except there's no guarantee that another universe would have the same universal constants as ours, matter as we know it may not be able to exist in the other universes, time may not exist as we know it, physics in general may not be the same. We simply don't know what could've been on the other side of the big bang.

[@TheNobleLoyalist]

uhm, i came here to learn how to ESCAPE TO A PARALLEL UNIVERSE.

[@echodalgon]

Well put.

[@luclloyd7809]

so if time travel and parallel univers travel is possible would communication be possible on that stage? because it is essential for passing data and establishing knowledge, and also all the other essnetial things we are doing right now could they be possible on that stage?

[@SourGrey]

Anyone else find it weird to think that the universe has a finite age? I mean, before the universe, what was there? Trying to imagine the existence of nothingness is like trying to perform mathematical operations using infinity. Our minds are just not built for it. -ive always thought this and said this to hard religious believers. they always just say god this god that. ok what about before god existed before the thought. only one of those people I talked too was stumped and said "I never thought of it that way".

[@ImbaSoulDC]

Maybe the Zeroth dimension can explain that. It can theoretically be seen as the balance of all dimension, which is nothing, calmness, and when something changes and is subtracted or added, it becomes something. Think of it this way. 0 - negative 3 is 3. Or, 0 - negative 2 + 3 is 1. Zero holds all values, and when one changes, or a billion change, or a trillion, or a googolplex of those, then something happens comes out of it. Some say the universe will hit zeroth, and then be at balance again, until something changes, and SOMETHING emerges out of that zero balance. I don't know, but to me that theory has made the most sense of how something can come out of nothing, that is if nothing holds everything in it's most basic form, in harmony, and the alteration of this harmony is what causes things to appear, and eventually, possibly after a LOONNNNGGG time, break down or settle back into it, kind of like the "big freeze" when eventually all gas and material is exhausted and broken down.

[@SourGrey]

That blew my mind. Really thinking about it and applying the words to physical not only analytic space. But before the particle, before the blankness the white the nothing the black did not exist because we dont know what nothing is. The words don't even escape because nothing exists the words do not exist, the existence of nothing is a theory which in itself does not exist. We cant fathom this and I think originally its good we have some God or Gods whatever you believe. As this thought of religion puts people at ease because people cant fathom the idea of before existence of space, time, planet, dust, atoms, bacteria or anything for the matter. Man I dont want too think about this anymore. Im going to go have a beer and talk to some cool people and enjoy life while we still have it.

[@lebron6shez]

i am not an atheist but man you have no idea how many times i have thought that. it not only questions believers but also science. yes there are theories but theories and religions are about the same thing (please lets not start a war if im wrong just say soo) its very very very very complex and someday we will find out........someday

[@AdamAljabiri]

+1 dBFS i understand what you are saying with youre explanation through the equation, it makes some sense. but, your hypothetical zero cannot be changed unless something or someone makes that change. that's the part that is not clear. i will use you're example. the 0 - negative 3 = 3. makes sense as it is simple math but..where did the negative 3 come from? you just cant have something out of nothing. an example would be how life works on our planet, it would seem as like everything is linked in some way or an other, water for plants and us, plants provide us with oxygen, shelter and food while we give carbon on a small scale of course, replant genetically alter plants to make them last longer, fight pests etc. you get me? science is interesting as it is the basic understanding of the universe and how it functions.

[@ImbaSoulDC]

I don't know. We as a human race don't know squat about the universe yet lol. That's why it's so fascinating.

[@Loxer150]

They vibrate at a different frequency that's why we haven't see or found them.

[@yinyang2385]

People have seen them during sleep paralysis, O.B.E., astral travel as well those who smoke DMT. All those who cross over report an intensifying vibration sensation and buzzing, popping, clicking electricity sounds right before they "breakthrough". When I had my first experience during sleep paralysis, every solid object in my bedroom appeared to be composed of millions of tiny vibrating pixels resembling the black and white dots you use to see in old analog tv's when signal was lost. it was as if I was seeing the vibrating atoms that existed in every solid object and the vibration of those pixels were making a deafening sound. When I fell off my bed instead of hitting the floor I passed right through it and ended up floating around below the foundation of the house where I saw plumbing and ducted pipes, electrical wires. When I decided I had enough I tried to end my journey and my conciousness suddenly switched back into my physical body. I sat in bed with the realisation that there is this parallel dimension that has existed here on our planet but it is not accessible to our physical dimension. At the same time both dimensions depend on one another to co exist. All the physical solid objects that exist here are composed of atoms and particles that vibrate and those vibrations have a resonance and frequency that our physical senses aren't able to readily perceive. However inside our physical bodies there is also a phenomenon that is actually compatible with accessing the unseen dimension, it is our conciousness/soul, however our physical bodies take priority and act as a barrier that suppress the linkwe have to the higher dimension. I think the reason we can acess it in under circumstances is because the very core of our conciousness vibrates at the same frequency as the parallel dimension. People who have experienced a breakthrough often report "ego death" where a part of their identity is left behind as they step in to the parallel dimension. All you take with you is just pure "awareness" without all the other bits such as ego, anger, fear, emotions which you associate with your self. It's an indication that a lot of those feelings are tied to your physical body that grounds you to this physical plane.

What if that parallel universe is frozen over too?

[@loupbleu3177]

That exactly what I though of, if there are infinite paralel universes, and if a universe is warm for only a few couple of billions of years (before becoming frozen for eternity) then most of them are already frozen and the chances of ending up in a warm universe will be extremely low.

[@Monsuuri]

[@oreoorange8451]

Loup Bleu that's incorrect. If there's an infinite number, then there'll be an infinite number that are frozen, and an infinite number of those that aren't anywhere near frozen. The chances would be equal, and infinite, not slim.

That's interesting because there's a point in the changing of the light where it's almost from millisecond there's some area in the back of your brain that perceives the light as green just for a second like a millisecond I've actually sensed this where I've had that sensation maybe true there is something to do with the angle of the light the refraction of the light the speed you're moving toward it and the atmosphere

[@junfaa]

[@muaythaijunky]

Na, things can change. It depends how ignorant the people are. If they accept that they can come back and even have their memorys and experiances still it would mean that they are older then what they thought and standards of now are incorrect. It would also mean things do and dont also happen. It would imply new desicions could be made unless people decided to enslave others. If thats so, free will would have to be put in question, are you free or forced? If this was happening and people hid the truth and tried building a system upon a lie then theres a problem. For instance, even if some one was innocent people would force them to be guilty and could even set them up. Instead of helping people some would prefer to use it as a weapon. The body is just a vessel. Young or old its a vessel that can wear down and be destroyed. What we actually are is much more then that. People are brainwashed into thinking that we are just some material object. That if the body dies you die. Obviously seeing as people know of me should know this by now. Sure this guy is a smart guy but i dont think hes got all the answers. I dont think he can do what i do. If you get that the body is just a vessel and what you truly are isnt some regular ageing thing that dies then you have taken the very first step to realization. Congrats it seems you figured that out. How do i know that? You know me. So we see the physical and non physical now. When im a kid its an illusion physically, same with you. When your old its an illusion. Yes we look that way, but its not what we truly are. An old man can be like a kid, a kid can be like an old man. We are not actually bound to our looks, be what ever you want to be. Its nothing more then an appearance of matter. Would i see an old woman? YES! Im not looking at the vessel im looking at what they really are. Once you understand what it is that you really are you could do what i do. But none seem to know. Hate me all you want, bring the scientists, you still dont understand it. You tried everything. You tried replicating me in every way and yet nothing. What does that mean? Maybe that im right. Why would you try so hard to find out and then act as if you dont care? Why try every science and math to figure it out? How do you keep coming up empty handed even with this guy on your team? How many of them do you need to figure it out? How many have you gone thru now?

MR, Kaku, u said that the age of the universe is around 13.7 billion years old, but that is base on the light we can see or detect from our current technology.But how to you assume that during the bigbang and there light and it is the beginning of the universe? That is why currently most theory bout the beginning of the Universe can't go explain what is beyond bigbang, cause we all assume that the beginning of light is the begining of the universe, but yet 73% of dark energy we dont know anything bout it, 23 % dark matter which until now nobody has any ideo what is it... then we have string theory bout the bubble of infinite universe... its all just theory. yes all the light coming for the same spot which assume to be the center on the universe, but what if the light we can see right now from the center of universe doesn't really means that they were appeared exactly the moment the universe start expending... what if 73% and the 23 % of the dark space itself already exist long( which is 100% at that time.) before light and time? it is just all pure dark empty space and all matter is completed still in that space. And then gravitational singularity and comes the bigbang,which become the 4% of everything in the universe ? is like observing a 1 trillion lits of H20 in infinite large of cup, and without any force,it is calm and still, its has been this way for infinite of years, and all of sudden you assumingly your hand is an unknown force which put a 400 million of matter included light dropped into the cup from the center, and since the begining there's energy and matter like a wave forming expending toward the infinite cup boarder. Sorry for my bad English, i myself is Chinese educated, so its kinda hard for me to explain everything in my head with English, because in English these only 26 alphabet, which in Chinese my native tongue i can explain whats in my mind with 10 of thousand of alphabet, and infinite of combination of words that im used to communicate. i really wish i can explain to you and having conversation with you ..hahaha even thou i know the percentage of random possibility wish we can set down and have tea together is extremely low.
