TheTimeTraveler2025 Umm...there are Black Holes. Probably not with an event Horizon. That might disqualify them from being called "Black Holes", but, there are singularities in space and time. The thing is, we have to redefine the whole notion of "black holes" and might have to think about more theories that would successfully accommodate the experimental data the way the previous theory did, And also, just because Stephen Hawking changes his idea of a Black hole, it doesn't mean he is right. His idea of an "apparent horizon" does not make a lot of sense, especially considering the fact that he did not show the Math required to prove his claim.

As small and insignificant as we are in the mind-boggling immensity of the universe, our brains are the most complex object in that universe (that we know of). That's pretty flattering to a person's ego.
@bootblacking10 жыл бұрын
We are a way for the universe to know itself, the ghosts of dead stars. The fact that we exist, as individuals, in the exact forms and with the exact personalities we each possess, is dependent upon a sequence of events so enormous and complex as to seem nearly impossible. Each of us is a statistical improbability, a sudden and unique event in the universe, truly exceptional in all meanings of the word. And some people insist that we were created from mud or dust and on a whim to satisfy an aimless, wandering, wasteful plan that centers everything of importance on a single rock floating through a universe so immense it can only be approximated in the human mind.

I've never understood why people say we are "insignificant". As far as we are aware, we are on the one planet in the entire universe that holds life, and we are the one form of life on that planet that has been able to explore the universe through science. I think that makes us pretty significant!

And I could see Andromeda clearly with just my eyes and it was amazing. No wonder ancient civilizations thought the stars were gods.

What really blows my mind about the accelerating expansion of the universe is at first you imagine it as galaxies hurtling in space... But, after learning about it, you realize it's happening everywhere, the gaps between the molecules, atoms and subatomic particles in your hands, body and the screen you are viewing this in is getting larger and larger, not at a constant rate, but an accelerating rate.

***** Valid point, though a lot of what made the original series great was just Carl explaining some concept or another in a mundane (yet beautiful) setting here on earth - on a beach, or among trees, with a look of child-like wonder on his face. The bits with the spaceship of the imagination were more like transitions between brief lectures than the focus of the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning about astronomy. I worked in the library after high school and read every book on astronomy they had, all five of them! Now remember this was about 19 or 57 so I'm not sure if we had every book that was available or whatever the library and subway would like to read. I knew I wanted to be an astronomer. Unfortunately, I did not know how much college cost, and when I did realize what it cost I realized I did not have enough money saved up. At that time I earn $.50 an hour and saved as much as I could. I realize that my parents did not have a lot of money so I had to figure out how to get past high school with a little bit of money I had, henceforth I went to nursing school which cost a lot less. I still would like to be an astronomer.

Food for thought* The gravity in the observable universe does not even equal to a fraction of the percentage of the energy that was caused by the big bang. Like Neil said, its like throwing a ball in the air; gravity will slow it down.. but say you put an unfathomable amount of energy into throwing that ball, gravity would have an effect but the energy that was put forth would be too immense for gravity to have its full effect.
It's crazy how Neil degrasse feels the passion to the Universe!! I love this guy!

Here is my theory about Dark "Matter" involving String Theory: There are subatomic particles that relate to the 4 major forces (Gravity, ElectroMagnetism, Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces). For example, the photon relates to ElectroMagnetism. According to String Theory, these particles are made of Strings. Most of these strings are stitched to the fabric of Space-time, but the graviton string might form a loop. I am not a physicist, I just saw this on an Episode of Nova. But here is what I infer: if the graviton is a loop, it is not bounded to our universe. It could potentially roam freely into another universe via another dimension. So this is what Dark Matter is: 1. Matter in a parallel universe has gravity. 2. The gravitons controlling that gravity slip into our universe. 3. We have gravity somewhere it seems it shouldn't. The whole process can be repeated vice versa: Our universe has matter, which has gravity, which slips into their universe, and now they have Dark "Matter".

William, if by the time the universe reaches heat death we haven't figured out virtually EVERYTHING about existence, then we are the dumbest fucking species in existence and we should hurl ourselves into the nearest star. lol Because if you can't do it in a googleplex years then one really is too dumb to ever figure it out. I think if we haven't unlocked the vast majority of the universes secrets in the next few hundred then we are greatly doing something wrong. I would think within a 5-10,000 year range we'd be able to easily traverse a wormhole, blackhole or singularity, or perhaps even leave this universe for a parallel one.
