It's the theoretical physicists version of "Last Thursday-ism", the notion that the entirety of existence only started last Thursday, with all our memories also being planted at that moment.

[@HayTatsuko]

The animation in this Kurzgesagt video was fantastic. I enjoyed its mind-blowing notions -- but maybe they are not realistic ones! The idea that the Universe did not arise from a Big Bang is kind of cool. I enjoy the notion of it being an oscillating system, for sure -- fading to near-nothing, then recreating itself, over and over.

[@maciejzettt]

Kind of like physics of Discworld

We've got to the point where Physicists are so desperate to find a unifying theory they'll come up with any old nonsense.

Imagine you go to sleep one day and wake up the next day as floating brain in space

[@judah5037]

It's simple. If we are all brains floating in space, no one else is real. I can't imagine having the creativity to run this planet in the background without any thoughts.

[@matthewsnyder2475]

You don't need to imagine the whole background, only the bits you experience, only when you experience them.

apparently its a floating brain that is dreaming about a person’s life if you were too dumb to understand 😅

Sooo... If you're a floating brain, then you're probably not a floating brain, but if you're not a floating brain then you're probably a floating brain.

[@cinemaphar]

Idk why but there’s something funny about the sentence “infinite time, it’s happening”

[@KaiTheDr]

That video made me feel like an acid trip. Not feeling it, but being it cuz I'm cool like that

[@Andrewy27]

Some people have very smooth floating brains.

[@MrBookPro]

The whole monkey typewriting example reminds me of another one that is used as an analogy to parallel or alternate universes which compares matter and energy to a deck of cards. If space is truly infinite but the number of particles and their configurations are not, then like a deck of cards, an infinite number of shuffles will eventually cause repetitions to appear due to their being a finite number of card types. So over an insane number of time and configurations, there might be a me that thinks its the only me but is one of many. The Many Worlds theory is a similar take that expands by adding choices, movements, probabilities that become impossible to calculate for every scrap of matter and energy. I will never claim to understand science at this level but its still very cool to see that what is considered absurd and illogical is based on a growing foundation of actual math, theory and eventual proof from experimental science.

Imagine if there's alien and they see us playing with this thought, what would they thinking about us

[@davecool42]

Last few Kurzgesagt videos going way too meta for me.

[@FalcoGer]

3:00 of course there is. Any energy well can be tunneled into with enough tries. It's just stupidly unlikely.

[@joshuab4586]

The main issue I have with people using “infinity” to explain stuff is that they are referring to “true infinity” whereas our world and universe and time are infinitely vast to us but in reality are finite. So yeah if everything was *truly* infinite, then yeah of course a monkey at a typewriter could type out anything you want but in reality it’ll always be gibberish. Same concept with the floating brains, according to our understanding of the universe there is no true infinite.

[@somdudewillson]

"according to our understanding of the universe there is no true infinite." This is just wrong. While the amount of time that will have passed by at any given instant _is_ finite, there's no reason, as far as I know, to believe that time itself will ever "run out". Just like how there are a finite quantity of positive integers lower than any given positive integer, but the total set of positive integers remains infinite.

[@joshuab4586]

@@somdudewillson time doesn’t exist when there is no space, so during a singularity event time doesn’t exist so it is finite, and saying you can just keep counting higher doesn’t make infinite real, there’s a finite amount of everything until you go to theoretical scenarios like counting forever.

[@Skrzynia]

Boltzman brain very real its just hard to imagine its big numbers theory like waiting 100! years for the brain to appear.. yeah it will eventually. its a inevitable consequence of the heisenberg uncertainty principle

[@matthewparsons9407]

Let's not however forget about the egocentric predicament: meaning that ultimately the reality you experience is dependent entirely on your senses, which is then created inside your mind, and you therefore have no way to prove that reality is real; you can only believe it to be.

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

I mean we factually can’t observe everything as it is. Or as it should be and our perception of time is also inconsistent. So yes atleast in my opinion everything we observe on the day to day basis is inaccurate

[@Shoomer1988]

Given an infinity expanding universe and an infinite amount of time then even the most unlikely non-zero probability event must happen an infinite number of times. If that means brains (or a bowl of petunias) popping into existence then so be it.

[@dreamingtacos]

Maybe our universe is a bubble created by the heat death of another universe which is what caused the big bang

[@splaturials9156]

How does this dude already know all these topics

[@UsernameXOXO]

I'm a high school dropout and I have known about every non-novel topic of any kurzgesagt video. All it takes is a bit of interest.

[@splaturials9156]

@@UsernameXOXO damn impresive honestly

[@thespectator5259]

A lot of the ideas presented in kurzgesagt have been floating around for decades if not centuries. Even when I was back in high school in the mid 2000s, I would see topics like this pop up on the Discovery channel or Nat geo. I would also have plenty of intrusive thoughts about "I'm I real?" to which prompted me to go online and find plenty of people talking about things you see in kurzgesagt videos, only being discussed in edgy online forums. With a title like "You're a Dream of the Universe (According to Science)" even someone who is hobbyist level into science stuff would guess where the video would go based off such a title. I'm not even a STEM guy, so if I could see it, it doesn't surprise me in the least that an Engineer can also preemptively know how the video will go since the concept isn't new or anything...

8:20 I wonder if a.i. could simulate this and actually figure out how many iterations/years it needs to write Eminem lyrics!?

[@Spacetauren]

Not that hard of a problem to calculate. Assuming we give the monkey a typewriter with the 26 letters of the alphabet used in english, period, excalamtion point, interrogation point, apostrophe, dash, comma, semicolon, space and next-line, we end up at 35 characters. So probability of a sequence of characters the length of eminem's works being true is 35 to the power of *minus* [whatever that number is]. Take the inverse, multiply that by the time it takes for the monkey to write a sequence of that length and here you have your estimate.

[@snaukball8764]

Decillions and Vigintillions do exist. Decillion is about 10^33 Vigintillion is about 10^63

The question of whether reality is real or not is interesting for sure.

[@demigreen6495]

i think therefor I am. I am real.

[@dreyri2736]

I think if you are an idealist, all of this becomes absurd nonsense, since matter does not exist. Edit: specifically the idea that consciousness arises from a non-conscious thing (matter).

[@Geddy135]

either you're a figmant of my imagination or my comment/view is a figment of your imagination. I guess it doesn't really matter one way or another.

As per hindu scripture vishnu purana, this entire universe is dream of lord vishnu. This again proves Hindus gods are personification of understood laws of nature. Unfortunately many of such golden Hindu scriptures were burned down by invaders like mughals and British to cook their food.

I just watch these now to roll my eyes at the ridiculous reaching you do to somehow bring up nuclear energy and skip it.

[@roseannelajara8659]

I'm pretty sure the point of the channel is for him to react as a nuclear engineer? This is like rolling your eyes at Lindt selling chocolate again. You do you, but that's a rather strange reaction. Actually (and I swear I'm not being sarcastic), reaction videos that are just rolling your eyes at professionals mentioning their professions could be pretty funny! Like, ugh, Dr. Mike is talking about health AGAIN! There goes Ann Reardon with her dessert recipes... 🙄 If you decide to start a channel like this, please let me know.

[@AzillaKiami]

bro... that is essentially the point of reaction videos... if you dont like Mr Folse and how hard he tries to connect everything to nuclear energy, then dont watch him...

[@frogz]

right???? Here is a video on watermelons Did you know that nuclear reactors use water which is the bulk component of melons to stay cool?

I'll take that over him just overreacting/gasping at every little mundane thing like most other reactors do...
