Here's another idea: What if we are among the first species to become aware of the universe at our present time?

[@darrellking7831]

I have heard theories that the universe has a sort of "filter" ( of alien origin) that is preventing humanity from contacting/ being contacted by alien life. Another theory is that the universe is simply so large that no intelligent civilization will ever be able to reach us, even if they were capable of light speed travel. Or perhaps, the distance prohibits intelligent life from ever noticing us.

Yep, it is even more humbling when you read the next paragraph of that quote: " The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."

Troll Nation The universe is expanding. Intelligent people trained in the discipline can determine the rate of expansion based off the Doppler effect on light. Reverse the equation and you eventually come to a time when everything we observe was all in one place. About 13.7 billion years ago. And because light travels at a finite speed and the universe has an age, anything farther than 13.7 billion light years away we could never hope to see because the universe hasn’t existed long enough for light to travel that far.

There are plenty of other Scientists that disagree and have other plausable theories you just believe what your mind likes the sound of.

For you to claim you know how this Universe was started and created is nothing but pure arrogance and ignorance. All you can do is wonder in reality, None of us know or will ever know those kind of answers you seek. There are plenty of plausable theories which put things like the big bang “Theory” to shame. The big bang Theory is just that its a theory not a fact yet you have already decided in your mind that its a proven fact when its not.

[@DekkarJr]

TBH my primary takeaway from video's and realizations like this at first first a "wow." moment of amazement, and then secondly I start to think of how immensely difficult it would be to even begin to spread humanities reach to most of this. It's sort of frustrating to realize how difficult it would be just to explore and colonize even just small parts of the inner regions of our solar system. Seeing as how difficult it is to focus on space travel when we still have so many other more pressing problems among us that we have to spend most of our money and time on solving. We'd need some vastly more powerful communication and space travel technology just to begin to travel to mars and colonize it and the asteroid belt(which we should already be focusing much more effort on IMO, considering how mine able the asteroid belt would be). We've got 7.5 billion people on the planet right now, and it will not be long until - regardless of any climate change based argument - there will simply be too many people to humanely take care of. Faster than light communication and travel might not necessarily be possible, especially faster than light travel, even if it was possible to propel a space craft at that speed you would have to be able to map have a totally clear shot to get to wherever you were going . The only thing I can think of to solve the issue of sheer distance would be opening and stabilizing wormholes to bypass massive distances in space time but even in theoretical astrophysics, it would take a civilization capable of technology that could harness the power of a sun to even THEORETICALLY create something like that. Essentially using the star like a massive nuclear reactor, and how do you do that without developing tech made of metals that can interact with it without immediately melting? The only way reason we can safely harness the power produced by nuclear reactors is because they are contained and kept cooled, otherwise - disaster. I often think of what happened in science fiction series' like Judge Dredd when society got so big and technologically so advanced as to be able to do the jobs of most people; and think that it is fairly accurate. Minus the nuclear wars and irradiated wastelands, we're still going to face a massive issue of feeding people as urban environments continue to expand and will also continue to pop up in places that would otherwise be needed for farming. Building taller more massive apartment buildings like in Judge Dredd to house people is a simple solution, but even still the amount of homelessness and crime will skyrocket at a certain point due to there simply being too many people and not enough jobs for those people. Education in the traditional sense will also become increasingly difficult and that will continue feed the aforementioned problems. If people think there is already an issue with large class sizes, wait til we've got 25 or 30 or 40 billion people to work with. It'd be much better economically speaking to be able to move large numbers of people off of the planet to large space stations and colonies where people could live and work - mining companies would be the richest companies in human history depending on how far we are able to safely and reliably travel throughout our solar system and beyond. Would be nice to have some more man made islands like the ones China made as well to have more space for planting crops and housing people. It's something we should be thinking about solutions for now rather than later.

[@lastword8783]

I think a lot of it is inference by doing calculations and such. For example we can't observe what our Galaxy looks like from the outside since we are in it. They go through a whole process of observing different parts and make a map on what it most likely looks like and that is how we get our models. Another example is that we don't usually directly observe other planets outside our solar system but instead we detect their presence when they pass in front of their star and then they can calculate how far away it is from the star and predict what the mass of the planet is and depending on the star, what the planet is like etc.

[@mikek5958]

6:43 "How do they know all this?" Mapping out the 3D structure at a given time requires 3 coordinates. As we see things projected onto the sky, astronomers often use sky coordinates (Right Ascension and Declination --- analogous to latitude and longitude on the Earth) combined with a distance coordinate. For completeness sake, there are other ways to define this, e.g. a Cartesian coordinate system centered on some object (often times, displays of our "Local Group" of galaxies will be shown in such a system). Once you have chosen a reference system the sky coordinates are fairly straightforward to determine, by comparing the observed position of a source with existing sources on the reference frame. Historically the distance to galaxies has been difficult to determine. The calibration and development of the cosmic distance ladder has made this much simpler, particularly in combination with Hubble's Law. This law is an observational consequence of the Universe's expansion; that the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us. One can often measure the velocity of a galaxy using the Doppler shift of emission or absorption lines from known atoms (hydrogen is often used in systems with emission lines, and absorption line systems can use sodium or calcium features). Once you have the velocity of the galaxy, you can assume the velocity is due to the expansion of the Universe and use Hubble's Law to infer a distance and add that galaxy to your 3D model. It's worth noting that there is some error in the distance determination from Hubble's Law, due to the fact that galaxies don't live in isolation, but experience gravitational force from galaxies around them. This means they generally have some part of their velocity which is not associated with the Universe's expansion, but is instead due to the nearby galaxies. This "peculiar velocity" causes some uncertainty in the distance determination from Hubble's Law. However, this is only a significant uncertainty for nearby galaxies where the expansion velocity may be roughly the same as the peculiar velocity. For more distant galaxies, the peculiar velocity is small compared to the expansion velocity so the fractional uncertainty is low. There are other ways to determine the distance to galaxies, though Hubble's Law is the most widely used for mapping the 3D structure of the Universe. The other methods are important for calibrating the cosmic distance ladder and for some specialized studies.

[@zhadoomzx]

The answer to "How do they know all of this" is simply: Telescopes worth billions of dollars... and tons of smart people to put them to good use.

[@rafetizer]

Space is kinda like a wave pool. The galaxies ride along in addition to doing their own motions, like debris flowing in a river. Since it appears that space is expanding, it is essentially adding distance between objects and energy. This means that at a certain point, even lightspeed isn't fast enough to keep up. It's cool but a little scary to think that we won't be able to see anything farther than a certain point.

[@RoundRobinQc]

[@DlcEnergy]

No, it's just called being skeptical. What proof are they or anybody supposed to have again? What's your reason for specifically believing in it? It's ok to not know you know. It doesn't mean you're denying it to accept you don't know something. (same with god) Was you there to see them get in the rocket and watch it take off? Did you observe their journey through a telescope all the way to the moon? I know footage can be pretty convincing. But it doesn't matter how convincing footage is, (it can be completely legit, and i'm willing to believe it is. it makes no difference to me anyway) but it's still not solid proof. You think such footage couldn't possibly be forged up? Have you not watched many sci-fi movies? But i bet even if cameras didn't exist before rockets, and it was just told of over the radio, there'd still be many people who just openly believe without need of personally seeing any actual evidence. CNN still has an audience after all. lol Obviously it's something people want to believe in and support. I mean, that's how many kickstarter scams work even. lol

[@Reblwitoutacause]

“How do they know that? How CAN they know that?” Well. The telescope was created some time around 1600. And ever since humankind evolved the ability to, we have been looking to the stars. Some of them, they took notes along the way. We’ve been doing it for millennia, as a species. This is quite evident, in how many ancient ( prehistoric ) human-built monuments are designed to coordinate with the stars above our heads. Once you look a little closer ( telescopes ) you start to see how big it really is As long as you take accurate notes. TL/DR: Science.

i must say that it was great to see you guys do a space video. space is one of the few things that blows my mind. just love it. there are better videos for comparing size of palnets and stars, but it was nice to see you do this. space is baffling. even though i am far from a scientist, i still dont believe some stuff they say, because with the numbers they use, i dont think they can see that far. anyways it would be nice to see other space vids. other vids that are cool are like "drain the ocean" there is a lot we still dont know about our own planet

[@ericmanget4280]

I'm an electrical engineer and the gate width of transistors that help run your computer, modem, and router, is in the nanometers which is 0.000000001m. The numbers seem to defy common sense but common sense is primitive and the most brilliants minds in human history have found ways to circumnavigate their genetic flaws and accomplish these feats. Books being a great example, because they act as a permanent memory store.

[@TheTrueVirus22]

Ok so first of all I am not a scientist either but you have to understand that we are not able to "see" that stuff. We have some incredible telescopes but they are useless for those things. Everything comes down to math, physics and probably some chemistry in the end. They use things like the motions of galaxies around us, how matter is distributed in the universe, the effect on gravity that works against the acceleration in which the universe expands to create maps that show us the "flow" of the superclusters. There´s so much research involved and the people who do it are probably experts in those fields so saying you don´t believe them is just stupid because currently there are no alternative models (and if there are they probably don´t have enough evidence to be broadly accepted) The people who came up with that model could be totally wrong, they could have miscalculated things or not taken everything into account but until something else is proven this is all we have. In science you never know if something is 100% correct and if at some point somebody shows that it´s incorrect it will be changed. Just as an example, the evolution theory: Darwin proposed it and a lot of people didn´t believed him and quite some people had different ideas and models at that time (or they thought it was blasphemy since they thought god is the creator of everything). However his Hypothesis could be applied to all living things and solved a big unanswered question. Nobody was able to prove something else or disprove it so it became a theory and not a single scientist will deny it or believes in something else. That´s just how it works. A scientist looks for evidence and if you have enough evidence they will accept it and in comparison to other people (chrm religious people chrm) they would change their point of view if something different was proven right.

[@JoeyLutes]

they're just reporting what they see with the massive arrays of telescopes they build. it's not like galaxy clusters are a theory, we SEE the clusters, and try to understand them.

[@seansaville5664]

@@TheTrueVirus22i appreciate the time you took on this. and you make some good points. im just going to say this. you said "it's stupid" cause i dont believe them, right? well, there are 2 words throughout your spew that still continues to make me not believe. "hypothesis", and "theory". these are just thoughts thrown around. ZERO proof of ANYTHING. scientist math of the deepest parts of the universe is NO DIFFERENT than a priest and his words of GOD. neither have proof of anything. how many years have people been using Einsteins theories. and they claim some of his theories of his wrong. so with so many people over time using Einsteins theories to do their work, and people using other peoples work from Einstein, look how many years of science has been thrown out the window when they claimed some theories wrong. it's not stupid to say you dont believe what scientist say
