New Light on Dark Energy

[@BigMTBrain]

The moderator is excellent! His talk at the beginning was very informative as well as funny.

[@RonJohn63]

1:25:12 Since all good scientists are by definition open to paradigm shifts, after only 10 seconds the "crank alert" starts blaring any time someone drones on and on about observation and "are you open to a paradigm shift".

[@totalfreedom45]

Our universe is a beautiful mathematical object that came out of nothingness about 13.8 billion years ago, whose energy was born out of the dancing virtual particles quantum fluctuations are, and whose total energy is zero. So we are made up of quantum fluctuations, which appear everywhere all the time; we are the children of stardust and supernovas-all atoms in our flesh and blood and brain are star stuff. With every breath, we are breathing the atoms breathed by all living things on Earth for 3.8 billion years. Thus, when we realize our cosmic origin, there is no room for hate, bloodshed, and depression; no room for wars, tyranny, and exploitation; and plenty of room for limitless love and happiness. We are star stuff and don’t need religion or gods or holy books to tell us that. There’s a revolution in science that began with Einstein and is spreading like wildfire into the 21st century thanks to technology, a revolution that will shake the very foundation of our cherished philosophical and religious beliefs and will turn them topsy-turvy-the realization that baryonic matter is just 4.9% of our universe, that there’s an immensity permeating it that is 26.8% of it (dark matter), and even a greater immensity that is 68.3% of it (dark energy). Our universe always bends to the will and wishes of those two dark forces. How wonderful is the tide of time we’re surfing! Here’s a cool 1:49 video (Sloan Digital Sky Survey): www.sdss.org/science/

[@gerrynightingale9045]

"Dark Energy" is a really nice side-step and "tap-dance" to explain "how come there's so much energy and so little matter?" The answer is obvious. "Energy is neither created nor destroyed...rather, it is actualized and made manifest by the inter-actions of matter"

[@ryandward]

Why does the electromagnetic wave of light only get stretched lengthwise? Wouldn't the peaks also get stretched?

[@sandbox4us2]

Greg Aldering starts with 1) extrapolate cosmologic distances by brightness of star 2) concept of peering back in time when the light reaches us and 3) concept of the stretchiness of space as a function of the shift in the wavelength of light. I dont entirely understand the 3rd concept... how you can infer that the wavelength of light would shift if space stretches. In other words, what is the evidence that an expansion of space would expand the wavelength of light that was contained in that space. Could space expand and the lightwave remain at the same wavelength? How could you ever test this?

[@michaelloach9461]

I could be wrong but i think Einstein said something like "human stupidity is endless but im not sure about the universe". Fantastic saying & very true about the former..............

[@flatisland]

2 questions: the dark areas in the map of the galaxies seem to be confined by straight lines. Are those areas areas that haven't been mapped yet or is this the way of how the map is depicted? other question: how do we know that the expansion of the universe is speeding up when what we are looking at is the past of the universe. Maybe the galaxies back then moved much faster than now and the expansion - right now - could instead be slowing down or has the time factor been taken into account (which I assume)?

[@gunterra1]

There is something I do not quite understand. We learned that "the farther away the galaxies are the faster they move away from us (and each other). So at, let's say at 1 million light years distance the galaxies move slower away than others at 10 million light years distance. And the conclusion also is that, due to the constant speed of light bringing that information to us, we are looking back into the past (the recorded information of the past). Question: Doesn't that also tell us that in the distant past galaxies were moving faster away from each other (faster expansion of space) than they do more recently or now (slower expansion of space)? How then does one come to the conclusion that the expansion of the universe is accelerating when the opposite seems to be the case? Or have I missed something?

[@Barbosss322]

[@jonwright2956]

I postulate that the ever increasing rate of space creation is the real reason the universe is speeding up and dark matter is gravity on vast scales.

[@tube19880]

At time 57:17 he got the quote wrong. It should be, "Is the big bang the sound of one brane clapping?" I hate it when they do that.

[@HueyTheDoctor]

@takeyourpillz I think it was some kind of misguided reference to light lag; the fact that looking at distant galaxies is actually observing very old events that happened long ago.

[@samirrimas]

According to my theory of everything, SMBH´s were the first things in the universe along with very high energy radiaton. with the discovery of gravitational waves they should be able to see past the blur and see allot of SMBH´s

[@euanlankybombamccombie6015]

I agree,blackholes giving rise to a mass ejection ....imo ALL that goes into and through the singularity gets turned into a field of ALL knowing info,as that's what has gone in basically (information)....and the sheer compression of the ALL does something miraculous and the particles that are made are encoded with infinite potential....every single particle ....so a quasi crystallographic field called consciousness!!...and as consciousness is ALL and infinite it needs a medium,filter in which to have a finite experience and to know duality it has given rise to the Human brain...which is the antennae that gives this field awareness to know itself.....GOD....and us the opportunity to know GOD within and ALL....the SINGULARITY ,LOVE IS THE RELIGION, rant over!!

[@zeph6439]

Thank you, I learnt a lot from this presentation.

[@mhl491]

Yes the space time continum can expand faster than light can travel through it but if it's stretchiness varies from point to point and from time to time then aslight passes through those reagions it stands to reason that the wave propogation speed might vary just as the wave speed in a string varies with the tension in it. We would not know this because all of our detail measurement on the speed of light are made locally.

[@leerufuslee6240]

im loving this stuff!!!!its just out there!!!

[@Vern3666]

Why is it that the lateral distance between distant galaxies is about the same as the lateral distance between close galaxies?

[@happylittlemonk]

+Vernon Brown if you get an elastic band and put dot on it at equal distance and then stretch it slowly you can see the distance between the dots grow exactly the same way but the distance better the first and the last grows exponentially faster, grows even faster than the speed of light. If I have understood you correctly, you are assuming that the earth is in the middle of the universe and the universe is expanding away. But the whole universe is expanding equally so the distance between further galaxies are not like as if they are on the surface of a balloon and we are in the middle. A better way of visualising it perhaps would be to imagine the galaxies are shrinking rather than the space expanding. This way you do not assume everything is moving away from a centre.

[@Vern3666]

No, earth is not center. I knew about the stretch theory since it was first proposed. It is wrong because empty nothingness can not stretch.

[@joeroganjosh9333]

Vernon Brown We have to use words (like "stretch") because not everyone has studied the mathematics of Quantum Physics. It's the wrong word, it's not stretching it's GROWING, making more of itself. It's not nothing which is growing, there is no such thing as "nothing" in the cosmos

[@whhmjr]

a very good introduction!

[@69krell]

How much can you stretch space till it tears apart? Or will it stretch infinitely or is our imagination being stretched? Just asking? :)

[@lulzimi]

you see "back in time" because the light has not yet reached us. Einstein found "accidentally" mathematically that the universe is expanding, then later several scientists found the same results. Thing is the universe did not expand faster before (as far as I know) and at some point dark energy forces became larger than gravitaional forces, meaning that the larger the the universe is the faster the expansion is, i.e. eksponential growth in expansion. Correct me if Im wrong here anyone :P

[@Hamking1]

I have a question: Where do we commonly see the oldest galaxies in our universe? Are they scattered all over from earth to the edge of our light horizon, or do we primarily see them out near our light horizon?

[@RootDubz93]

+Hamking1 The galaxies which are the furthest away will be the galaxies which we view as the oldest, because it has taken light a longer amount of time to reach us from these galaxies. So yes all the oldest galaxies we find at the edge of our light horizon.

[@Hamking1]

+RootDubz93 Thanks for the response. This is rather curious. Categorically speaking, wouldn't that put us at the center of the universe? Lol

[@RootDubz93]

How would that put us at the centre? Imagine living in any other galaxy - we would see exactly the same picture as we do now. By oldest, I mean we see the galaxy as it was billions of years ago and so we may actually observe it just after it has formed. Does that make sense?

[@Hamking1]

+RootDubz93 Because if the oldest galaxies we see are at the edge of our light horizon, and you play the expansion of the universe backwards to the beginning of time then we'd wind up smack dab in the middle, would we not?

[@RootDubz93]

Hamking1 I see what you mean. By 'oldest' I mean we see them further back in time than galaxies closest to us, so i guess oldest wouldn't be the correct term for them, sorry for the confusion. They would have actually formed around the same time as any other galaxy.

[@Calyptico]

So you really expected ground-breaking new discoveries about Dark Energy in a debate, and not in a published scientific paper up for peer review?

[@HueyTheDoctor]

Eric Linder sounds a bit like Christopher Walken to my ears. Which is frankly awesome. I noticed it at 1:24:00

[@mhl491]

If the stretchiness of space veries with time and also with location in the universe doesn't it occure to anyone else that the speed of light might vary too? If that is true then alot of our measurements over long distances are probably wrong.

[@tubedude709]

i'm pretty sure it's something outside our universe that makes it expand. space is just distance between these "Things" that is increasing. maybe some multidimensional objects

[@Kianquenseda]

One fundamental fact about our universe is that : High pressure always gravitates to low pressure. E=mc2 correct ? What does -E= ? When energy creates our universe it needs no dark energy to continue its expansion, simply because it is liken one of those coin funnels. As the coin approaches the center of the funnel it accelerates. We are expanding because, we are falling apart, into the lowest possible pressure 0, or "True Emptiness (sometimes confused as god etc). Energy can be measured. Non energy cannot. Our universe was born from a singularity, not a duality. This process is what developed into various vibrational currents. Every atom is made of space/void in which particles vibrate, and work off each other thereby creating a duality that is the basis for all false beliefs. Like the oceans that accept all of earths water. This is where the water comes from and it is where it all goes. That is also why everything is empty, and emptiness is the source of all things.

[@gunterra1]

What do you mean by 'pressure gravitates'? E=mc^2 does not say that. This formula explains how energy (E) equates to mass (m) and how much energy (E) is would be release or generated when matter converts to energy. What does that have to do with 'pressure gravitating'? And furthermore, how can emptiness be the source of anything? What you are trying to explain is not the physics that I and most of us have learned about.

[@toolshedjunky]

[@mishadavidgamsu]

HOW DOES NATURE MAKE THAT ARROW SO PERFECTLY I DONT UNDERSTAND?>

[@chiahlee4116]

Hi, can someone please answer my question? Why does everyone continue to assume that the propagation of photons (aka the speed of light) is constant for all instances and through all mediums? It's not. The speed of light through glass is slower than the speed of light through air. The speed of light in the vacuum of space is MUUUUCH faster than the speed of a photon inside a hydrogen atom during a state of quantum transition (~300 M/s vs ~300,000,000 M/s). SO WHY DOES EVERYONE CONTINUE TO ASSUME THAT THE SPEED OF LIGHT ITSELF IS CONSTANT? IT'S NOT! It changes all the damn time depending on what you're sending that light through. E=MC^2 can be re-written as: M=(1/C^2)*E. If we hold our ENERGY level constant, and assume that C is variable, we see a vertical asymptote at 0. This is telling us quite simply that we will NEVER achieve a state of absolute 0. Absolute 0 by definition is the state at which all molecular motion has stopped. If this is true, then matter cannot exist because matter is a function of the relationship of ENERGY and the speed at which LIGHT propagates. If there is no energy moving, there is no MATTER!

[@RootDubz93]

+Chi Ah Lee No one thinks that the speed of light in a material is the same as its speed in a vacuum. Look up Snell's law.

[@huipeng1749]

It is first time I saw this presentation. It explains very clear. I have an...idea that there may be negative Gravitational CHARGES (not negative mass), which might be carried by positive mass. In regular positive mass universe, positive mass carry positive g-charges. Negative g-charge attract each other and repel positive g-charge. Negative g-charge theory predicts a jerk expansion of the universe.

[@Roedygr]

Why do you need both dark energy and dark matter? Does not the effect of dark energy cancel out the dark matter? How do you know that dark matter is just not ordinary rocks?

[@69krell]

If space itself was stretching like the balloon, wouldn't we see thin long stretched galaxies like designs on a balloon that expand when blown up?

[@RootDubz93]

+Sayilen Radhakrishnan No we wouldn't because the gravitational forces between the stars that make up a particular galaxy dominate over the dark energy. On larger, intergalactic scales however, the dark energy dominates over gravity because of the huge distances involved between galaxies, meaning gravity is comparatively weak within these regions as compared to within a galaxy. Hence we only see the intergalactic regions expanding - not the galaxies themselves.

[@stylesofsaturn]

I heard that our galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy will eventually collide into one. If the universe is expanding keeping galaxies apart, how is this possible?

[@Debonair.Aristocrat]

Our The Milky Way colliding with The Andromeda is a local event. The Known Universe is filled with swirls and eddies and many local events. On a large scale stuff is moving away from other stuff.

[@stylesofsaturn]

Oh ok, because we are already close to that galaxy we will collide, but the further away one's are spreading out... Thx

[@kozzmik]

Andromeda is part of our local cluster of galaxies which is a gravitationally bound system. Gravity in these clusters overrides universal expansion, and so they will stay together, even though the cluster itself is moving away from all other such clusters.

[@maestroanth]

Because some things swoosh one way and others another

[@joeroganjosh9333]

And since there is a lot of so called ‘empty space’ between all the stars in a galaxy, the Milky Way and Andromeda will merge and then pass through each other (with a lot of gravitational interactions changing the topography) like a pair of ghost-like dancers in a gravitationally locked embrace. I don’t think there will actually be much colliding, as in an automobile crash but clouds of gas will collide and heat up and cause some shenanigans. And then there is the eventual merging of each galaxies central super massive black hole. But don’t take my word for it, keep watching talks like this.

[@kousoulides]

@tubedude I think it has something to do with a "scale factor" that is based on measurements of the wavelength of light. but I personally can't wrap my head around it, how by looking at typeA Supernovae that happened billions of years ago we are able to know that the universe is accelerating now.. @ lulzimi, It was the solutions to Einstein's field equations by F&L that proposed a non-static universe. The acceleration though is a completely different story. It was not predicted by GenRelativity

[@flappoid]

I absolutely agree with you. I would add, however, that most of the lecturers I've heard should work on keeping things light WITHOUT attempting comedy.

There's nothing strange about the Electro-magnetic force driving the universe. The gravity-only model has created fantasies from time travel to black holes to dark matter and energy. Plasma and E&M explain it all sensibly. They still ignore Halton Arp's observations showing red shift is proportional to youth, not distance. The balloon analogy is flawed, since the space in the galaxies is not inflating as they do on a balloon surface.

[@nal8503]

why all planets, suns. milky ways etc. move in one plan i.e each has their plan ? why not move like electrons move around nuclies ?

[@ExperienceCounts2]

Two reasons. One is a nitpick: Electrons *don't* move around the nucleus. There is only a probability that they will be found in certain regions around the nucleus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital They can appear in one place at one instant and in the next be on the opposite side of the nucleus (or even a thousand miles away - quantum stuff really is weird) The other reason is this: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/93830/why-the-galaxies-forms-2d-plane-or-spiral-like-instead-of-3d-ball-or-spherica BTW you mean "plane", not "plan" and "nucleus" not "nuclies" (I understand the second language thing - if only English were more like Russian, where if you can pronounce a word, you can spell it correctly :\)

[@kousoulides]

I don't get it. How can scientists figure out that the universe is accelerating. we look at stars as they were billions and billions years ago. I thought that the further we look the further we look back in time, isn't it more normal within the big-bang theory to say that this is evidence that today the universe slowed down? stars near-by expand slower because we look in a more recent universe. further-away stars (older stars) move faster because in the past the whole universe expanded faster!?

[@happylittlemonk]

+Oners82 You are laughing. But I came up with a theory that explains everything and manage to find a way to prove it. When I discovered it, about 10 years ago, my understanding of all the physics and universe changed. I could not believe how a simple theory solved almost all the problems in physics. Since then every prediction I made came true. I am 100% sure I have found the unification theory. You joke and say you win the Nobel prize if I have found it, but after writing to every scientist I could think of, writing to editors, lecturers and academics, no one showed any interest to even hear me out. If fact telling anyone that I have found a theory provokes the most hostile reaction. I am wondering if they will bring stoning and capital punishment back for people who claim they have theory. I mean someone innocently wrote just one like trying to share his idea and you ridiculed him. What chance do I have to prove my theory. They don't listen to me, if I write a science paper they will bin it and if I write a book I won't make any money from it. The solution is simpler than you think. All these scientists study few books just like we do, they sit down and think, just like we do and they put 2 and 2 together and come up with a theory just like we do. Most of them talk complete nonsense and they know it, but since they are a title next to their name everyone listens to them. Einstein made wrong predictions and did not believe in Quantum theory until he died. So is he a crackpot? There is no such thing as a genius All you need is three thing. 1. Understand the problem, 2. be at the right place at the right time and 3. recognise the solution if you see it. Anyone can do it. All I need is for them to give me a chance for me to do a talk for 2 hours and I will assure you I will convince them what dark mater, dark energy and gravity is and at it will solve 20 other problems.

[@Jason987262]

Michael Ordoukhani What is your theory? I'm interested.

[@happylittlemonk]

+Jason987262 This is one thing I do not want to disclose. They spend billions to research these things so I am sure it is worth a lot of money. I have been looking for someone knowledgeable and very enthusiastic to team up with me and prove this. It is no just a theory of gravity etc, this theory applies to everything, I mean it clearly explains the quantum world in a comprehensible way, and solves all mysteries of physics, it explains evolution, biology, psychology, economics, etc. This is the rule by which everything works. It is not an abstract idea like String Theory, I have used it for over 10 years and it clearly solves problems. Interesting enough, I discovered it by studying the mind. I am a software engineer and my ambition is to make a concious AI machine, and have made a lot of progress and have solve the key problems. The breakthrough came when I discovered that since we perceive the universe through our thoughts and the universe we see is not what is out there and therefore most of it is undetectable to us and all the laws are relative to our understanding, so to understand the mind we have to understand the universe and to understand the universe we have to understand the mind. That is why there are so many mysteries in physics and mind. I am sure with some technical help I can win the Nobel Prize by solving the problem of gravity and Dark matter etc, but the big fortune is in AI. So if I can prove the physics problem and get some prize for it then I can create the first concious machine in few years. Visit my website www.ordoukhani.com. You can add me to facebook and then we can discuss this. Thanks for your interest.

My Above reply was for the 1st part of your comment, up to the Space Time part about a paragraph down. Then I wrote the above reply, and then finished reading your comment. Some very good observations you have gleaned. Many of those are some of the major hurdles that all the "Currently" well liked theories have in common between themselves. I personally, see no evidence of Space-Time, as both are constructs of our unlearned minds. What we do see as evidence of them is again misunderstandings do to the limited comprehension of the one looking. But when it comes to the two forces we are absolutely sue about being in the Universe and Everywhere is that of Electricity and Magnetism. With those 2 forces, there is no need for things like Relativity, Gravity, Dark Matter, or Dark Energy, are all things that are shown for what they truly are, which is just the imaginative thoughts that have no foundation in reality.

yep, Einstein plagiarized it Ruthlessly. This is well known for anyone that has a solid background in the research. Problem with Light and C, being Light speed is not a constant speed, this is known, but its always poo pood. Like you, I used to believe in what I was being told, but when I finally decided I had to look for myself, it didn't take long to realize what a buch of crazy insanity that was going on. To one that is unaware of the details, it always looks possible, but what is happening, is never what it seems. Space Time is a Myth, it is a construct of the mind that is not real.. Space as we are told is a lie, and Time is a Myth, thus Space-Time is a misnomer of reality. Richard Feynman is Still the Brightest Mind in QM and he Died around 87 I think it was.

[@HBFTimmahh]

He did Far more than that dude. Feynman wrote the damn Modern book on it.

[@HBFTimmahh]

Richard Feynman Brought More to Quantum Mechanics together into the modern day, than 90% of the QM Science Researchers still Alive today, and over 50 yrs old.

[@HBFTimmahh]

And he also was more Honest as a Scientist than any of his Modern Day Predecessor.

2013 / free energy = space energy = supernova energy! New: See 2 new scientific publications by Hans Lehner GENERAL SCIENCE JOURNAL (free e-version) in March and April 2013. Title: Discovery and Proof of the "dark matter" in magnetism / magnetic filed? and: Discovery and Proof of the "dark energy" = "Supernova Energy"?

[@willhart6110]

Eveything created simultaneously and not linearly...

[@uturniaphobic]

when matter (or energy) exceeds the speed of sound it goes bang when matter exceeds the speed of light it goes dark and super conductive and I am sure if there was air it would have banged. just an extrapolation no proof here.

[@warnmyfamily69]

Dark matter is the majority of the universe. It is much finer and smaller matter than our protons and neutrons. We are in isolation because of sin, this little universe we can see is all made to isolate us. most created beings are the finer matter that is invisible to photons.

[@dwasylenko123]

Nope - speed of light is constant... even though space can expand faster than light.

[@takeyourpillz]

@TheNorwegianSkeptic that doesnt make any sense. leave the science to the scientists mate. . .

[@michaelsmith6420]

Nothing new. What's the conclusion here? Nothing. Simply more people reporting they do not understand the math of using supernovae to estimate astronomical distances. Nothing new here.

[@doh1959]

i luv scientists .walk these people down the red carpet not victoria beckham or people like her. lets celebrate intelligent people who discover and invent things that benefit all of our lives.

[@susancorgi]

that 's never gonna happen as long as majority of people on this earth just love absolute crap on TV.

[@jackliyong]

except Enisten,is there really somebody understand physics?

[@jackliyong]

I know how the light transmit and what is the dark energy,I deny the black hole,light can travel at 0 ,if you are inside the black hole I am outside the black hole,we can not see each other,inside black hole no dark energy at all

[@defenderoftheadverb]

lol. I thought he said he teaches sodomy.

[@TheTobyimages]

Why do scientists have absolutely no dress sense whatsoever?

[@stanleystlouis4903]

The young lady's ability to explain things clearly in English is unfortunately lacking. I'm sure she knows just what she is talking about.
