Solving the biggest mysteries of the universe - with Gianfranco Bertone

[@TheRoyalInstitution]

You might notice we've changed the title on this lecture to better reflect the content. But don't worry - you'll still learn about what multi-messenger astronomy is, as well as so much more about the mysteries of the universe.

[@twstf8905]

Thankfully this is being televised, (and on KZbin, etc.) because evidently it appears only about 15 to 20 people decided to show up in person, to watch this guy's talk.

[@TrueBlueCat]

Weren't they the fortunate ones!!!

[@operatoncreation6396]

Would love to sit in that room for a lecture.... Thank you for putting this on KZbin and doing it so well.

[@SyBa-SyKo]

Not sure how I got here, but this lecture was really eye-opening! I enjoyed it so much that I joined your Patreon. Looking forward to more! Thank you.

[@coconutz247]

couldn't have said it better. i'm going back for seconds.

[@TheDudeKicker]

Thank you for a great lecture.

[@s13driftlove]

What happened here 🤔 I don't think I've ever seen the Royal Institute so empty and it's such interesting content and a great speaker

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

This was a novel approach. Hadn't seen distances explained through the "9 circles" before. Interesting.

[@Automobiliana]

Thank you for this lecture

[@Just.A.T-Rex]

Thank you RI!

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar time! (Mikey's Time) Think of it like Alvin and the chipmunks. "Vyger's" message is fine. It's just sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "Vyger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. (That name is still up for grabs.) Outside the Local Group time is the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until Vyger is outside the Ort cloud .007-.07% faster, maybe. Just for reference. •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference. •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard," or...;-P Name NOT up for grabs BUT just begging to be measured. The rate/flow of time is fastest here so, surfing time here is choice though it's best to have your motor boat. ;-P A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. Pass it on, please and thank you.

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

TIME is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city complain about the same TIME paradox unless it was effected by it. Maybe a TIME distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of TIME distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're randomly given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? There is SO MUCH MORE to TIME than we realize. TI-I-I-IME, is on my side. Yes, it is!

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

Ok, how about this way then? Black hole's affect space, matter, and TIME! It's not JUST the intense gravitational pull. It's also the abundance/absence of TIME!* People keep dismissing the TIME. (*When it takes 500k of our years for 1 millionth of a second to pass, it's safe to say there's a relative absence/abundance of TIME.) It's the ebb and flow of TIME that proves it. The "starved" of TIME white hole's ENTIRE existence flashes by in an instant. A black hole is "stuffed" with TIME. That's why things age slower. The black hole's TIME gets so stuffed that particles are, for lack of a better word, "squeezed" into TIME with so much force that they exist in the past, present and future, at the same TIME, in TIME. (QUANTUM PARTICLES, DUH!) I mean if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a force, it might not be just a causality. There's more to TIME than we think. Remember, crazy is a compliment. As it should be

[@franciscojose6496]

Interesting important vision about universe very good

[@trig6712]

excellent many thanks

[@garydecad6233]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@janhoogendijk8604]

So wonderful that the accumulation of many generations of highly driven scientists each who have added their knowledge gives such insight into that unbelievably vast universe. But I also feel at the same time that science has created the possibility that only 1 person can destroy all humanity by pressing a button. Blackmail that all mankind must resist. It's a bigger threat than global warming,.We need to talk about this more.

[@nmart1n]

Fascinating!

[@Rico-Suave_]

Amazing lecture

[@Jobby1975]

Why so few people? Very exciting subject.

[@ftumschk]

Filmed in 2021. Some COVID restrictions were still in force, and people were still reluctant to travel to London and/or to mix with crowds.

[@mikelevitz1266]

Xlnt discussion. Thank you.

[@MrPiha]

Great lecture, do black holes take in dark matter?

[@theghoshinthemachine]

Thank you for such an intriguing lecture :)

[@andytidnits]

What about the planet Kricket from Hitchhikers guide by Douglas Adams?

[@jadeyjung]

neat and informative slides ! by the way I would bet there must be next "dark energy" to dwarf our dark energy in the future as if it did dwarf its cousin dark matter and "real" matters than the ending scene would be its ruling all of the universe for the same reason and logic by the advent of a new character at every single turn of enlightenment. thanks for sharing this valuable contents, Mr. Bertone and Ri as always

[@sebastianelytron8450]

41:55 What's a "bludvissey" particle?

[@parasitelights3158]

Really my man? That thee dude has a thick accent, he does, but you either pay absolutely no attention to what he's talking about, or you think it's amusing to make fun ov thee way he talks. Anyway, he most definitely didn't say "bludvissey particle" but "relativistic particles". By thee way, how many languages do you speak?

[@johneichsteadt4432]

What if the natural state of all matter/energy is quantum fields (space-time)? Would the decay of matter / collapse of the wave forms result in the field spreading, therefore causing the acceleration? Or is it more likely that it is the gravitational waves acting as a tide?

[@garydecad6233]

Excellent and novel way of presenting complex concepts. Why so many missing in the RI audience…..COVID concerns!?

[@CookingWithCows]

That's only one of the MMAs that I want to see scientists compete in

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

I've figured out how to change the stars by stopping hurricanes. Don't worry, I've technically already done the easy part and changed the stars. My parents were teachers and for almost 2 decades, they taught their students my constellation. Those kids will teach their kids. So on and so on. See, stars changed. I just need help to make it legit and with the rest. I need to get to Texas ASAP. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm serious. I get 7 things and remember, crazy is a compliment. Will you please help?

[@ubuntubantu2404]

One billion trillion metres...really it is impossible to imagine visually such that vast distance

[@beachboardfan9544]

Aww man the lack of audience is depressing! Leme get a ticket I'll show up, covid doesnt scare me!

[@Hugo_Overthere]

It's hard to get one's head around the fact that the night sky is lying to us about its makeup. The universe isn't at all like that.

[@Kai-yc5sp]

But... there are also 9 circles of Hell according to Dante, how do these fit in? Good lecture, I enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@michaelfried3123]

Dante fits in with all of this "science" that really has elements of philosophy attached to it. In 500 years they'll look back and laugh at this stuff like we do when we look back to the science of the day said bleeding a patient with leeches is a proper cure.

[@veganbutcherhackepeter]

In a multiple stars system there is no stable orbit for a planet within the habitable zone, so that seals that deal.

[@Ancipital_]

In every one of Royal Institution's video's comments one can find at least one complaint about the audience. I wish those comments would be removed.

[@svendtang5432]

We were never in conflict in the physics view because we were never in the center

[@EvaTruve]

Nice learn’d astronomer

[@Ss17405168]

Europa is a satellite of Jupiter not Saturn.

[@undeniableparadox7458]

If the universe is expanding at an increasing rate for distant galaxies and those same galaxies are in the past - wouldn’t that mean that expansion was greater in the past?

[@alangarland8571]

Or it could mean that more distant galaxies have had more time in which to be accumulating acceleration. I'm not a fan of the 'big rip' hypothesis though!

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

Those galaxies aren't in the past, there in their own "now", just like we are in their past, but our own "now". Light takes a while to travel, not instant. We are looking INTO the past of the CURRENT "now" for those galaxies. (It's like taking an angled slice, where that angle is time). The Universe is expanding equally everywhere we look, from every other point. The more distance between them, the faster that CUMULATIVE expansion. (The rate though, is the same as our neighborhood.) So what we are seeing is light from objects moving away from us, or us them. This light is stretched out by the expanding space between. The more space between, the more redshift to the original wave. The farther away we look, the more redshift we see. And everything is moving away from us (and so every other point as well). The nearer galaxies (closer to us in space and time) are less redshifted, so expanding away more slowly. This indicates the rate is accelerating over time. It's not that the rate between any 2 galaxies is faster than between any others. It's an additive effect based on distances (volume) of expanding space between any 2 given points. ....That said, the rate of expansion could be slowing NOW, but we wouldn't know that untill the light from those galaxies reaches us. Which could take a while. (It's like a movie which has been made, but not released yet. It needs to be transported, and is en route. We will see it when we see it.)

[@skylark8828]

Not really, it just means anything that's further away is moving faster away because spacetime itself is expanding, and it is doing so everywhere and at the same rate.

[@MrPlaiedes]

Sad the room was to empty.

[@asrajan55]

Why the mostly empty seats?

[@ftumschk]

This was filmed in 2021, when people were still reluctant to travel or mix with strangers, and some COVID restrictions were still in place.

[@redsky1433]

Good lecture but 'multi-messenger' is a terrible name. There are no 'messengers' just different types of waves at different wavelengths. Anthropomorphising the physical world is getting pretty tiresome.

[@frankbarnwell____]

Yet you are a part of said same universe. The comprehending is most amazing.

[@sebastianelytron8450]

Ikr? I watched the whole thing (while trying my best to stay awake) and still have no clue what the heck "multi-messenger" astronomy is lol

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

The Universe is information. The information is the message. The messages can be read by instruments. "Multi messenger" is referring to multiple information streams like gravity and EM waves. It's akin to mRNA, where m= "messenger" as it relays information. There's no inherent anthropomorphic statement, but may seem that way depending on how you bring your humanistic views to it, or how you anthropomorphize it, in other words.

[@benjaminmaguire1000]

Random negativity is what is pretty tiresome. Lucid exposition of grand themes is not.

[@Farmfield]

Like "observer" instead of "interaction" in quantum measurements. It's wildly misleading.

[@nightwolf222000]

Can we get some live shots either than cgi and that fake Nixon phone call?? 😂

[@jetsetter8541]

Many scientists define God as intelligent cosmic energy composed of multiple radiation of cosmic vibrational frequencies and we don't use word God , because it sounds very naive to scientific mind.

[@svendtang5432]

It means intent which cannot possibly be there if we are the centre because I moments we are not there anymore.. a real bad designer.

[@johnrichardson7629]

The universe is not infinitely large and particles aren't infinitely small.

[@whirledpeas3477]

You're half right

[@hlr3932]

TBH, when the word “fluctuations” was being said, I kept hearing as ‘flatulences’. Sorry!!

he said that eyes evolved over 100mya, very cool to say it but no proof.

Dark matter and, dark energy are us in the other three dimensions.

[@Just.A.T-Rex]

Then why isn’t equal to half and half??

[@Just.A.T-Rex]

Makes no sense

[@vladimirp2674]

Eyes considered as one of the proofs of evolutiin theory, as well as so complicated system could only be created by watchmaker himself.

[@SolaceEasy]

Perhaps you should not have switched from the Earth being the center of the sphere to the sun being the center of sphere number four.

[@SolaceEasy]

In the diagram "what is the universe made of" you have mislabeled the normal matter wedge as "Atoms". The label could be "normal matter" or perhaps "bosons and mesons".

[@SolaceEasy]

I am almost 40 minutes in and this presentation has become quite tiresome. Get to the point already. No wonder there's no one in the audience. They knew already the abilities and information of this presenter. I would say this was not up to the level of the Royal institution, but I recall there was a presentation on occultism.

[@wattooz]

the guy knows a lot fo stuff but is a bit boring the way he talks. he should take a couse on better public speaking to make his lecture more energetic

[@epictetzu85]

I don't know how anyone can stand to listen to the lip smacking and other mouth noises for an hour. Like get a proper sound setup. To be clear it's not the speaker's fault it's production's

[@johncarter1150]

Content over audio quality... You will always find imperfections, We are humans "after all" found it existential and grounding, no complaints!

Hyperacusis is annoying to have.

Didnt even notice til u said something

[@joehartman87]

Let me explain it to you: I don't have a problem with it.

[@jackozeehakkjuz]

Lol why did you have to mention it!?!?! hadn't noticed until I read your comment hahah.

[@K1lostream]

Stuck with it until 4:15 when I realised this guy doesn't know what he is talking about.

[@ftumschk]

He made one mistake, that's all. Mis-attributing Europa to Saturn (which was probably just an accidental slip) is hardly worth writing off the remaining 52 minutes of a lecture.

[@littlegreenbud2067]

But How did he know the moon smelt like burnt ash in a fireplace, if he was breathing self Contained circular air From his suit,!🧐🤪 There’s not enough atmosphere to breathe without it on the moon!!! I’m confusion RI

He could smell the dust on his space suit once he was back in the landing module.
