What if our observable universe is just a bunch of light particles that came out of a solar storm/burst of a gigantic star??? The bursted particles moves away from each other at the speed of light and the rest of the objects are in non observable universe and are the so called early universes(that jwst exposed) and we somehow called this entire event as big bang...

[@victorrielly4588]

You can change the perceived red shift of the photon by changing your reference frame. For example, if you move closer to a black hole, you’ll see the photon red shifted. This means the redshift of the photon is a consequence of your observation of the photon, not a change in the inherent properties of the photon.

[@NoneNone-wz5ul]

Not gonna lie but this is honestly a very valid and sound answer. Well done! 👏👏

[@billymanilli]

yeah.

[@billmcdonough3950]

But isn't the very nature of redshift something that can't happen to a single photon? Redshift is an increase in wavelength, ie: a longer period between photons. IOW, it's a decrease in the frequency of the light. The single photon doesn't have a _frequency_ though: it only happens once. So the photon (particle) doesn't experience redshift, the _waveform_ experiences redshift.

[@victorrielly4588]

@@billmcdonough3950 the same photon will have a be perceived to have a different redshift depending on how fast you’re moving with respect to the photon. Just like there’s only one electron in the universe (they’re all identical to each other) there’s only one photon in the universe (They’re all identical to each other). One way to see this is to remember that the wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its momentum, and the relative momentum of a photon is dependent on the momentum of an observer. If the observer is flying toward the source of the photon really quickly he will perceive the momentum of the photon traveling toward him to be very high and thus the wavelength very small (blue shifted), but if the observer is flying very quickly away from the source of the photon he will observe the photon to have a much smaller momentum and to be redshifted.

[@growthisfreedomunitedearth7584]

To add to the discussion on whether the universe is inside a black whole… if you add up all the mass in the universe and consider the amount of space it occupies, it would suggest that we are in a black whole with an event horizon equal to the size of the observable universe.

[@mo.6ix]

The photon question was actually really good

[@intotron6708]

My answer would be around this line: The photon doesn't feel any different, no time has passed. Instead the environment (the detector/eye) looks shifted to blue. It is all relative.

[@Llyd_ApDicta]

@@intotron6708 Would it though? The redshift is the result of two objects moving away from each other. Why would one side be red shifted and the other blue shifted? They are still increasing their distance, independent from the side you use as reference.

From the photon's perspective, nothing changed and no time passed. We simply experience the photon differently than the people who emitted it... we and they can do this because neither are traveling at c and time does pass for us. Each peak and trough of the photon's wave is frozen in time, but both the emitter and detector see each peak and trough at different times -- and the relative motion/gravitation between us shifts those peaks/troughs closer together or further apart.

[@tkermi]

Why would you expect that photon's speed c makes it incapable of perceiving anything? At least those instances create variants with end points for that photon. And those variants perceive it in some way.

I wish this came out like 10 years ago when I was debating an astronomy major about what actually happens at a black hole. He was so stuck in saying “x, then y, then z” with 100% certainty, as if anything about black holes has been proven as factual. I kept probing “how can we know for sure? Who has seen this? What equipment has been proof of this?” He just got deeper stuck in his position 😂😂😂😂😂 ❤

I would like to have a StarTalk on the edge of the observable universe and the edge of the event horizon of a blackhole having the same mathematical properties. This indicating we are possibly inside a black hole blew my mind.

[@SamusSelf-Destruct]

I’m not a great communicator like Neil, but I find it’s actually (to me, at least) very simple if you think abuit it logically. Due to the speed of light, and the expansion of the universe, we can never send a signal that will even reach, much less cross, the edge of the observable universe, the same way that, inside of a black hole, you can never send a signal that would reach or cross the event horizon, or that you can never actually observe a signal enter a black hole is you’re outside of it. Additionally, as we look toward that event horizon, what we see is, essentially, the entire history of the universe, the same way you would as if you were falling into a black hole you would see the entire future of your universe. Mathematically, everything checks out, but, where we usually think of the math from the perspective of being outside the black hole, we have to take the inverse numbers because we are inside it, like being on the other side of an asymptote on a graph, which is what the graph of a black hole’s mathematics actually looks like as you approach the event horizon.

[@humbleguy9908]

I see a logical contradiction in this analogy: We are, by definition, in the center of the observable universe. Someone, at half the distance to the edge of our observable universe, would also be in the center of their observable universe. Inside of a black hole, I think, everybody will agree on one, and only one edge and one center.

[@hendrir]

@@humbleguy9908 Good thinking. After thinking about this topic myself, my brain broke even more about the idea of the possibility of being inside a black hole inside a black hole inside a black hole, etc.

[@DasBreen]

About the question regarding photons and red shifting: If something acting upon the photon potentially causes it to experience time, could the same not be said of gravity causing its path to curve? The photon would experience stretching instead of steering as it travels through the expanding universe, so I would think they are similar in that regard. I would imagine as long as the photon is not stopped/observed, it doesn't register what the outside forces acting upon it actually do, with regards to the time aspect.

[@HaggenKennedy]

I agree with you. I think it has more to do with frame of reference than with what the photon itself feels. You noticing a red shift is a consequence of your observation, not a change in the inherent properties of the photon. It's possible that it (the photon) may not notice that anything different is happening.

[@ccorvid]

neil mentioning that the horizon of the observable universe is identical to event horizons got me thinking about how we all have our own individual horizons, and wondering if that also means that "we" aka our atoms(&quarks) are all made of "singularities" at the center of our own universes? and if so, is every photon, Lighting every singular Event we Observe, simply falling At us, at the speed of light, aka the terminal velocity of photons "Falling" into Our black hole universe?

[@proffsl]

Neil deGrasse Tyson, I think it might be possible detect the difference between mass gravity, acceleration gravity, and centrifugal gravity. The trick would be to build a device able to accurately measure the lines of gravity to see if they converge, diverge, or are parallel. With mass gravity the lines will converge toward the center of mass, with centrifugal gravity the lines will diverge from the center, and with gravity from acceleration the lines will be parallel.

[@derroneverest4511]

Neil makes it so easy to understand complex topics

[@isatousarr7044]

Inside a black hole, the core, known as the singularity, is where gravity is so intense that it bends space and time to an extreme degree, leading to infinite density. Surrounding this is the event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing can escape. Given these extreme conditions, how can scientists even begin to study what happens at or beyond the event horizon?

[@danielschegh9695]

There's a bit of a circular case here. Indeed, to your point, nobody can ever do empirical science inside a black hole and get that information out to people on the outside. Instead, we do empirical science on the observable universe and model how it works mathematically, both general Relativity and quantum mechanics. Then we can see what the mathematical models predict happens inside the black hole. This is more or less what Neil says @14:10. It is a best guess based on the best evidence, but the accuracy is limited by how good the mathematical models are. On the one hand, we might argue that we can't ever know how accurate it is since we can't ever test inside a black hole and get the info out. On the other hand, our prediction of the existence of black holes, which we have confirmed empirically, and that you can't get the information out comes from those mathematical models. If those models are inaccurate about what goes on inside a black hole then they can also be innacruate about the ability to get information out. If we accept that you can't get information out from the models, why would we not accept the other conclusions of the same models. We a can't empirically prove that you can't get information out because if True we can't get the empirical proof out. At this point it is Occam's Razor. If we can't get info out, all we can do is model and the accuracy is irrelevant because what goes on inside can't affect us outside. If we can get info out, then we can improve the models, so we keep collecting evidence to find out where the models break down.

I think it happens because of the expansion of the universe artificially moving us away by creating space(very likely wrong that one)? Or expanding the light itself basicly redshifting it either way as time passes.

@ 9:10 The photon isn't red-shifted if you are static with respect to the object that emitted it; you only get the shift because your frame of reference is moving away; when it's detected, you are subtracting the difference in energy between the two frames. The photon itself doesn't actually shift, just your perception of it, which is when you extract its energy at the moment of its destruction.

Seek therapy. Normal humans don't associate any and every topic with one man.

As a Canadian, I like Trump. 😮

[@turbgar]

you guys laughing together is soooo wholesome - on top of learning some cool space facts??? yes please!!!! Love these.

[@wilelowman]

Thanks guys, your talking brought out of my brain ether Nighthawk "quirk, strangeness and charm". A great proto-punk album from 1977.

Man I just love playing this on my phone in the kitchen while I prepare breakfast and coffee ☕️. Then sitting at the table absorbing all the knowledge and humor between my favorite duo in the youtubiverse 🌌 ❤

That might be the best in video commercial I've ever seen on KZbin. Babbel should pay that man extra. The rest of the video is great too as always.

Neil’s recall is ridiculously impressive.

[@svenzetterlund2459]

😂 Love the humor, the succinctness and depth that Neil provides, and the interplay between the two of them. 28:33 Chuck going off on Neil shooting down his apple seed analogy 🤣

[@OilRacki]

It always kills me how much Neil laughs at Chuck. Good combo here.. love @StarTalk!

[@BigArc920]

can confirm, my mind is way more blown with the "help" chuck was talking about🤣🤣

[@SamiPaju]

I’m loving these StarTalk episodes way more than I did Cosmos, and I thought Cosmos was great!

That photon and time dilation question was so cool, and one of the few times I struggled at first! Not that I can be sure but I have a theory as to why this could be happening. The wavelength change of the photon doesn't have any correlation to time, but is entirely connected to the expansion of space. Meaning that as a photon travels, space around it expands continually, changing its wavelength

Hey my personal astrophysicist I wanted to ask a question to physicist as I am a student of physics myself there's phenomenon I can't grasp It's the dark energy... - the question is how does the dark energy has negative pressure ( anti -gravitational ) effect eventually resulting in accelerating of expanding of universe I hope this question reached you Thank you!!

20:53 If a new quark is ever found in the future, it should definitely be called "wine"!

Finally this show has talked about the best Sci-Fi ever made… The Expanse. I can’t believe NGT hasn’t seen it. It’s by far the most realistic and epic sci-fi ever made.
