The good part about science in humans is that once there is no way to prove something scientifically you still got philosophy and you might say "matter does only matter to humans" and "where there is a beginning there must be an end to it" and the other way around i.e. "if there is no beginning in the first place, there doesn't need to be an end to it". But just like everything we know of tends to become the shape of a ball or circle, it is us running around in circles when trying to get a glimpse of something that lies way beyond - impossible to be witnessed or measured. And just like there is a "circle of life" no one can escape, there might just be a "circle of space and time" in which all matter is captured in a never ending process of expansion and accretion and vice-versa. From the perspective of a philosopher, this could be a simple approach to find sense in life and the universe as a whole.

Narim: -Yeah, I've studied it... in among other misconceptions of elementary science." The best thing in a good sci-fi is the open mindedness. And maybe that quote is right.

Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel Laureate in Physics, endowed chair in physics, Stanford University, had this to say about ether in contemporary theoretical physics: It is ironic that Einstein's most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that no such medium existed [..] The word 'ether' has extremely negative connotations in theoretical physics because of its past association with opposition to relativity. This is unfortunate because, stripped of these connotations, it rather nicely captures the way most physicists actually think about the vacuum. . . . Relativity actually says nothing about the existence or nonexistence of matter pervading the universe, only that any such matter must have relativistic symmetry. [..] It turns out that such matter exists. About the time relativity was becoming accepted, studies of radioactivity began showing that the empty vacuum of space had spectroscopic structure similar to that of ordinary quantum solids and fluids. Subsequent studies with large particle accelerators have now led us to understand that space is more like a piece of window glass than ideal Newtonian emptiness. It is filled with 'stuff' that is normally transparent but can be made visible by hitting it sufficiently hard to knock out a part. The modern concept of the vacuum of space, confirmed every day by experiment, is a relativistic ether. But we do not call it this because it is taboo.[6]

An infinite wavelength = infinite spin = infinite gravity = black hole… When you reverse this, you get a wavelength approaching zero = approaching zero spin = infinite anti-gravity = the big bang Everything from 0 to infinity is a different kind of wave.. from a light wave, to a sound wave, to the time wave… However, the time wave can never loop - it has a wavelength that approaches 0 - which means that if it were to attempt to return back to the starting point, it would infinitely expand at an accelerating rate so that it could not achieve this… aka, the universe.

I've said similar here, half in jest. I'm not a scientist either and all this is new to me.

And if that link isn't apparent in our universe then perhaps it's in a different universe. Or, at the very least, outside our universe. We currently have no way of proving anything of course but it is nice to speculate.

@@donkeysunited I dont think black holes suck matter in per se. Its that they create such a strong gravitational force that objects are naturally attracted to them by the curvature of space/time the black hole creates. Many stars orbit black holes and dont necessarily have to fall into the black holes and our solar system revolves around a super massive black hole. The event horizon is an area that once passed the gravitational effects are so strong that not even light can escape but again I wouldnt put it that the black hole is sucking it in as this creates the wrong impression. To me it would be like jumping from an airplane and saying the ground is sucking you toward it. That being said we dont know what happens after the event horizon, though some theories would be more valid than others the truth is that anything could be happening. (I'm not a scientist either).

I agree with this perspective wholeheartedly! I only have a youtube education in cosmology, but I'm obsessed with contemplating the nature of the universe, and your description is a treatise to my own philosophical conclusions. You expressed the idea very well, thank you! I heard Becky say that the big bang couldn't be a white hole because spacetime itself was being emitted from it, ergo the singularity has no location in spacetime. Is it not also true that spacetime itself flows toward the singularity of black holes? Now if I may share my own speculation: Perhaps there is only one black hole, or rather there aren't any at all, but we are treated to a multitude of perspective-based illusions that we call black holes. I think that if the singularity of the big bang can be seen as the beginning of time, then a black hole is a perfectly valid end of time. Except ... I don't think that's quite right. I think these cosmic horizons are just the apparent locations of regions of "time reversal" where spacetime sort of ... folds back on itself - at least from our perspective. I've heard it described that an observer falling into a black hole would (hypothetically) witness the rest of the history of our universe unfold, seeing the heat death of the universe at the event horizon. However, I feel that approaching that horizon, for the observer, would only cause it to recede. You can't get to the point where the the railroad tracks come together. It's just spatiotemporal(sp?) paralax! I hope that reads well, it's a difficult idea to express with our current language and models.

It feels like science cannot make the connection that once a black hole accumulates enough mass in its parent universe it "breaks through" space time and spills out everything it has accumulated. The white hole is a "big bang", therefore we have not observed it so far. I have no idea about the math, but usually macro physics is fairly comparable to other processes we know in daily life and that intuitively makes the most sense to connect all these concepts :)

Then you mentioned that a white hole would in theory become a black hole. Well if that is the case, at the big bang, the universe expanded until the white hole became a black hole and instead of expanding, the galaxies are being pulled back by a super massive black hole at the center of the universe. I have no idea, but it was fun to think about these things. Thanks for the awesome content.

My _speculation_ is that there is an infinite field of energy at a wavelength/level that we cannot yet observe. When energy from this field becomes condensed enough, it forms matter. Matter _is_ these little knots of field energy. The condensing of this field into matter (and the more of it in clumps of matter) is what causes gravity. I also _speculate_ that the field tends towards its neutral state before it was perturbed. If matter sits still in the natural field, it tends to dissipate back to the state of the field. The density of the field lends energy to matter and, hence, gravity. In this paradigm, sit still in the field, and matter moves quickly towards resolution with the field. Move through the field, matter can take energy from the field and remain in the same state. So, move through the field and or experience more of it (density), and time (entropy) happens slower. Stop moving through the field, and time moves more quickly, moving toward entropy and returning the energy that made it to the field. I'm not a scientist and do not have the vocabulary to really describe my idea correctly. Hopefully, it is clear enough, though. *Maybe @DrBecky can elucidate where our current understanding of physics agrees or disagrees with these ideas.*

As of now, it always does.

Such areas of space are theorized to have been of two types: one through the mechanism of gravitational collapse in the case of black holes, as well as one through grand unification in the case of the early Universe between the Planck Epoch and the Inflationary Epoch according to Big Bang cosmology.

Cosmic voids are white holes: the dark energy is just the opposite of the positive spacetime curvature that mass creates. The absense of mass, and the presence of electromagnetic ration in the voids creates negative spacetime curvature, which will expand and further enlarge the voids. Just like black holes form first from clouds of gases that slowly coalesce into stars, etc, etc, white holes slowly form from the voids that form between those concentrations of mass. Not just that, but voids emmit matter and radiation since the vaccum of space constantly produces virtual particles and photons. Cheers!

Hypothesis About Black Holes and White Holes Introduction Black holes and white holes are two of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. Black holes are regions of spacetime where the gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. White holes are the opposite of black holes, and are thought to be regions of spacetime where matter and energy can escape. The existence of white holes is still hypothetical, but there is some theoretical evidence to support their existence. One hypothesis is that black holes and white holes are the same thing at different points in time. Hypothesis The hypothesis that black holes and white holes are the same thing at different points in time is based on the following observations: • Light does not experience time. • Matter and energy that pass the event horizon of a black hole become mass-energy, which does not experience time. • The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. The hypothesis is that when matter and energy pass the event horizon of a black hole, they are essentially frozen in time. At a specific mass, which is the mass of a universe, the black hole instantly becomes a white hole and the matter and energy are ejected back into the universe. The hypothesis also suggests that the universe beyond our visible universe is filled with forming universe-sized singularities. As soon as these singularities reach the required mass to form a new universe, they turn into white holes and begin to expand. Thermodynamics One way to think about the hypothesis is from a thermodynamic perspective. Thermodynamics is the study of how heat and energy are transferred between systems. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases. Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. The hypothesis is that when a universe-sized singularity mass is reached the core of the exotic mass-energy inside the singlarity reaches absolute zero. Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, and at absolute zero, there is no motion of atoms or molecules. This means that the entropy of the system is zero. At absolute zero, the exotic mass-energy inside the singularity is in a state of perfect order. This is the condition necessary for expansion to occur. When the singularity reaches absolute zero at its core while surrounded with hot energy it expands into a new universe. Conclusion The hypothesis that black holes and white holes are the same thing at different points in time is a fascinating and intriguing one. It is a hypothesis that is supported by some theoretical evidence, but it is still too early to say whether or not it is correct. If the hypothesis is correct, it would have profound implications for our understanding of the universe. It would mean that the universe is not a static object, but rather a dynamic and ever-changing system. It would also mean that the universe is not infinite, but rather a collection of finite universes. More research is needed to test the hypothesis, but it is a hypothesis that has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

That is of course thinking about everything as a whole, which is perhaps a little to non-euclidian for our brains. It turns out everything is Schrödinger's cat? lol

Thank you for your clear explanation of the difference between a white hole and the singularity at the beginning of the universe. I love your channel

A brilliant moment that made me chuckle when you basically told the idea of "a moment of creation" to bugger off and replaced it with 'the evolution of the universe' Pro Move

Wouldn’t that suggest the white hole is still out there somewhere which doesn’t make sense as we would be able to detect all matter coming from a central location in the universe.

This is my favorite theory. I think yes, and eventually all black holes will merge and reach an age and/or mass where they flip and explode everything back into existence again aka the reset button.
@dbuckleton3 жыл бұрын
Black holes slowly die and the universe is pushing them further apart, so would be hard to make that work.
@jacobmccain80823 жыл бұрын
@@dbuckleton The statement that black holes die is purely theoretical. As is my theory stated above. I wonder what happens when Galaxies merge and their supermassives combine.. Could they attract others? Not sure...Just an idea that seemed to make sense to me. No idea if it's anywhere close or way off and sadly we'll probably never know.

You could crush everything in the local group into a giga black hole, but the total amount of mass in the region would stay the same and thus wouldn't really be more gravitationally attractive to things outside of the local group than it already is. Space would continue expanding things apart regardless. Until we understand dark energy better it's hard to say whether infinite expansion will win out or not, but thus far it looks like it's winning.

About 10 years ago I was convinced the universe was made by “sausage theory” (infinite string of sausages) but never heard anyone else talk about it. So nice to actually hear someone explain this theory with actual common sense!!!

One question i have is how can we know if the curvature of space time is space and time invariant? How to know if the same mass in a different point in space and time could curve space more or less?

GUT = gravity+weak+electromagnetism+strong? I always thought GUT was just weak+electromagnetism+strong only and with gravity it becomes the TOE (Theory of Everything).

Yeah, she said it wrongly. GUT explains the electronuclear force, TOE explains the electronuclear force + gravity

The first time I heard about white holes was at the British Association, where someone gave a lecture on why white holes do not exist. One of his arguments was, basically, that since the formation of black holes is favoured by thermodynamics, and that white holes may well be time reversed black holes, then the formation of white holes is not favoured by thermodynamics. Therefore, if there are black holes there are no white holes. This was shortly before the first back holes were discovered.

Thank you Dr. Becky for saying that Interstellar's black hole scenario also annoyed you, as an astrophysics student myself, I was super annoyed and everyone was hammering down on me for dissing Interstellar.
