StarTalk Podcast: Cosmic Queries - Edge of the Universe with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Janna Levin

[@RanjeetDhurvey-s9s]

Janna is the best guest on Star Talk. She's funny, smart, able to explain things simply, gets along so well with Neil and Chuck. Please have her more often.

[@ahriskof1]

Matt Trophy1 or maybe we get to other dimensions when we die and leave our 3 dimensional bodies

[@luisdiegocr]

Correct, nature do not expend more energy than it is necessary. So if we can do well enough with 3D senses, then that is all we need so far. Having senses for more dimension sensitivity will be waste of energy

[@Unidentifying]

or maybe there are no extra dimensions :)

[@oscarbaezsoria1650]

@@Unidentifying Its a mathematical certainty that they exist.

[@PinkFloydTheDarkSide]

Our senses evolved as the life moved from inside the water to land. As land had vertical entities like trees, life gradually created an understanding of the third dimension. Maybe we can devise a fourth dimension mathematically, but we won't be able to see it unless evolutionarily our life needs it even if it exists on this Earth.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

Congress.

[@ASlopedRoof]

No even black holes move, and quantum superposition of existing particles would give it movement and energy, in other words even nothing is moving somewhat because the vacuum has a quantum superposition as well due to scalar fields permeating through the universe. Also black holes are moving relativistically to larger black holes but an orbiting tidally locked body like the moon or the sun relative to the earth and vice versa the larger object will look and act relativistically like a singularity or a non moving body, and thats kind of how gravity produces relativistic space time, and is also heavily being researched by top physicists even at area 51 today apparently. Clarifying note, the term tidally locked and all these terms i used were through interpretations of math through relativity, all the math and interpretations are assumed to be dualities of string theory, or different interpretations of the same reality, so that interpretation uses relativity and field theory as opposed to quantum electro dynamics/particle theories which the large hadron collider and etc; many experiments today, are trying to essentially prove they are dualities so we can move foward in the right direction with how we use quantum versions of technology, which will improve hopefully everyday life in many ways.

[@JasonWW2000]

Just remember that all movement is relative. You always have to say what its relevant to. From a person's point of view the earth is not moving, but the moon is. From the moons point of view, Earth is not moving (rotationaly), but it is moving in relation to the sun and stars. For centuries we believed the Earth was the center of the universe (stationary) and everything moved around it. It wasn't until better telescopes were made that we realized the Earth moved around the sun and not vice versa. So remember that you always have to specify the point of view when talking about movement because it's a tricky subject. Hope that helps.

[@DeeArtist321]

If we were to see those galaxys in real time, I believe that we would find evidence Of life; even intelligent life. Just like we look now.
