StarTalk Podcast: Cosmic Queries - Until the End of Time, with Neil deGrasse Tyson & Brian Greene

[@aarongrooves]

Brian Greene!!!! When I was in college, after years of hating reading (because of a negative school experiences), Elegant Universe was the first book I ever read on purpose. It set me on a path to learning about string theory, learning to think critically, discovering Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Steven Hawkings, reading Einstein's papers on relativity, diving into quantum space theory, and so much more. Not that you'll ever see this, but thank you!

[@RobiFilth]

Only if learning would have been this much fun and enthusiasticly driven back in the days when I could have changed my life to prosperity.

Same here except for mama tysons episode. I think the mid level astrophysics isn't evolving fast enough for new content to be available so other fields need to interact to make interesting happen.

I couldn't agree more. Been watching star talk for a while and that was definitely the most engaging and thought provoking episode.

Did you notice that Greene kept lying and making up nonsense and Tyson kept correcting him? That is because Greene is a charlatan.

the way i see what brian said about the repairing spacetime, i imagine spacetime as like a bunch of bubbles where the bubbles are all next to eachother connected technically and one in the middle popping would make a hole but the surrounding area almost immediately fills in/repairs the hole. it seems plausible to me

[@chorinu7609]

The bubble bath theory. I haven't heard that one in a while :).

[@ZeroOskul]

Yeah, but Neil pushed and Greene admitted it was BS.

[@blowc1612]

No, because bubbles have a fix amount of particles inside it, and therefore the other bubbles would thin out to refill that space. What Brian suggest if that the space it will recreate it self from nothing to repair itself, without losing any other space that is already in existence. Two different concepts.

[@blowc1612]

zerooskul it’s a possibility, Neil never said it’s BS.. what is your deal? The fact we don’t even know what space consist of and it can easily be something we can’t even currently grasp, is as possible as anything else we can think of space currently not being occupied by the current known matter we can grasp. Are you mad because you can’t think at a higher level and feel so small? There are scary thoughts out there that others won’t be able to live with and go crazy.

[@ZeroOskul]

Light travels about a billion feet per second so everything you observe is one billionth of a second in the past per foot of distance. Space is Time, it's spacetime. From your standpoint you are the end of time and everything away from you is the past; but from the perspective of any other thing, it is the end of time and everything away from those points is the past. The distant edge of the universe is the dawn of time, not the end of time. From the perspective of every point in the universe, relative to every other point in the universe, right here right now is the end of time and every point at any distance is the past. It is in the right here, right now where the future unfolds based on occurrences in the past effecting the present.

Some of the stuff Brian says is blowing Neil's mind. Let that sink in.

[@xyzoopsie7804]

Problem with Brian's statement that religion is useful to understand your place in universe is that religion then encourages the tribal mentality, that's how we get sexism, racism and every problem because of the differences in the world, religions are the root of it. Religions condition the brain for tribal behaviour(us vs them), they do make you feel special about your place in the world but at the same time it makes you closed off to accept any scientific fact that would challenge your "special place" in the universe.

[@paulmorris6177]

It would be beyond arrogant to think that we, as humans, know everything that there is to know RIGHT NOW. Calculus “existed” before Newton “found” it (worked it out). Relativity “existed” in the 1700’s but was “discovered” by Einstein in 1905. There’s NO REASON to think that we know everything now. LUCKILY we live in a time (and hopefully it never is taken away from us), that RELIGION does not dictate what we “know” because THEY (religious leaders) TELL US what is fact (sorry Galileo, Copernicus, etc) and what isn’t. We (humans) have an entire universe to discover yet!
