Ripples From The Big Bang: Listening to the Beginning of Time

In March, a major breakthrough in understanding the origin of universe took the scientific community-and the general public-by storm. A team lead by astronomer John Kovac, using a powerful telescope at the South Pole, reported evidence of ripples in the fabric of space time produced by the big bang, a long-sought prediction of our most refined approach to cosmology, the inflationary theory. Amidst the worldwide celebration, though, some have been quietly suggesting that the champagne has been uncorked prematurely. Join a singular conversation, among the world’s most respected pioneers in cosmological theory and observation, that will explore the state of the art in the ongoing quest to understand the beginning of the universe.

@NATURAL SPIRIT even if that is true, and it might be, the moment the two membranes came into contact is the same event science has been calling the Big Bang, and the effects are exactly the same. The only real change is that we'd have a guess at the mechanics that caused it, other than "Let there be light"..

Eric Johnsa Supernova inflational motif The "supernova inflational motif" is a Big-Bang inflational pattern of explosion-implosion-explosion. The Big-Bang occured according to the supernova inflatinal motif inside an ultra old and dilated maternal universe as Alan Guth suggested. The intermediate implosion occured due to recoil of the first explosion on the previous universe's brickall field, and provides solution to the Andrei Linde's initial conditioning problem also to the cosmic microwave background homogeneity(CMB homogeneity).

Just glad the Ligos project eventually payed off. Since, I had being intrigued & kept tabs on it, for many years.

[@tedsword]

Just a heads up that the LIGO experiment detects gravitational waves of a different nature than this; LIGO studies the gravitational waves created when massive gravitational events happen, like stellar mass black holes colliding. The gravitational waves created by the Big Bang are a very different beast, and we can't detect them. Part of this talk is about the BICEP2 project on the South Pole that was looking for a signature of those gravitational waves by looking at the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, an extremely difficult task. The BICEP2 discovery they're talking about in this video was announced in March 2014, and by June 2014 when this was filmed, I guess the team was still pretty excited. Unfortunately, since this video aired, further analysis of this discovery revealed that this BICEP2 announcement was not the smoking gun that they were hoping for. :/

[@VeN0m88]

I always respect scientist and how candidly they can say " well this is the problem with the Big Bang "Imagine believers being so honest and saying well this is the problem with God, No they cant say that instead they use that "run in" (whatever ot may be) with God works in mysterious ways. There just lazy in seeking the truth, Let them have the easy way out. I want to be amongst people with the mindset to conquer and never quit till finding the correct answer. Even if that answer isnt comforting I wil find the comfort in knowing its correct.

[@peteedwards8439]

I am having great trouble accepting the Multiverse hypothesis basically because the energy deficit of all of these universes would be so huge the multiverse of multiverses itself would have to implode....I can’t square this circle. Unless Energy itself is infinite, which would suggest then that a big bang would potentially be infinite, and if that was true then it would still be going on today at an infinite level, which it isn’t or we’d all fry!.

[@Rocastill]

this is a great conference. Now I understand a little more about the dark science of astronomy.

[@MrVaypour]

dark penises he means

[@gsanewphysics8902]

The dark science of astronomy ....you're right! Brian Greene and all of physicists must be upgrade in astronomy in order to know that Albert Einstein was very poor in astronomy, that's why in special and general relativity Einstein had ignored refraction of light: ie.astronomical refraction and terrestrial refraction. Einstein's curved geometry of spacetime is false. The fabric of spacetime which curves around the mass is not the empty vacuum but the asmospheric medium,

[@DANGJOS]

@@gsanewphysics8902 You think after all these years astronomers haven't already thought of that? Especially terrestrial refraction, which is a well known phenomenon. Astronomical refraction is also known. It slightly shifts the position of astronomical objects in the sky. Of course, this is not a problem for space telescopes.

[@maryhelenharris6149]

I believe the gravitational waves is what helped String string theory. I couldn’t tell you what day it was but a lot of airplanes were in the sky it was absolutely beautiful.❤️

[@TheHallucinati]

1:26:17 And that's a very important point about Scientific Positivism and C. Popper's notion of Falsifiability in Principle. This is where science and metaphysics go their own separate ways. There are many things which are not testable in principle like God, Fairies, Giant Space Dragons, etc. and so don't belong in science. Cosmology is sometimes perched right on the very edge of that boundary. It is perhaps no surprise why some of the theories in this field attract so many pseudo-scientific conjectures, some sites even went as far as to suggest that in the Holographic Principle Theory, the holographic "plate" was God and projection is "an act of creation". The closer a theory is to this boundary, the more "fluff" grows around it and the more it is treated by the lay public as some kind of justification of the centuries-old superstitions or evidence of the "merging of religion and science". This is why I personally choose to remain on the cautious, "conservative" side, even though I am anything but conservative in my views. Added to my Science and Education (What Everyone Ought to Know) playlist

[@gregurbanek186]

Regardless of "fluff", boundaries prevent inflation. A theory by any other name...

[@isonlynameleft]

Listening to the team member from bicep2 speak towards the end of the video it's clear they lost their objectivity in their desire to be the 1st to prove inflation, which is very human. As a society we need to promote more skepticism so we can weed out our own inevitable human biases.

[@BalramSingh-dx6su]

Having made these discoveries about gravitational waves etc. and that they exist is wonderful ....but one must understand at the same time that the mind exist in a particular frame of reality and it apprehends a phenomena from it's own reality which it carves into a meaning....the mind knows such things as Mass, distance , weight , gravity etc.and all meanings are hinged unto such a frame ....in other words our perception and apprehension of any given physical phenomena is a relation to the mind functioning in a definite frame of reality......from the perspective of another frame of reality where say," consciousness as mind" exist in a different environment, the way it perceives and apprehends the physical observations will be totally different as the one created by the mind functioning from this vantage point in the universe.....we are amazed at such discoveries because our environmental frame creates in our minds astonishment in such things from this vantage point.......the truth is that the apprehension of time , distance , weight etc . is all due to our existence in this environmental frame......the mind attaches values and measurements to physical reality and at the same time creates the attached meaning to the phenomena by conceptualizing reality in a frame......

This is the best KZbin video I have ever seen. Not only was it packed with new information, the people were so pleasant, it would be so fun to hang out with them. I wish I could have been there to ask some questions. 1. the statistical graph looked like a roller coaster. I would have expected it to be smooth and monotonic. What gives? Why all those humps? It is saying that different scales of space have peculiar properties. 2. It seemed that polarisation came only in two flavours. Surely it comes in every possible angle? Is every photon polarised SOME way?

[@justinz1619]

In mathematics, the common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10. It is also known as the decadic logarithm and also as the decimal logarithm, named after its base, or Briggsian logarithm, after Henry Briggs, an English mathematician who pioneered its use. It is indicated by log10(x), or sometimes Log(x) with a capital L (however, this notation is ambiguous since it can also mean the complex natural logarithmic multi-valued function). On calculators it is usually "log", but mathematicians usually mean natural logarithm rather than common logarithm when they write "log". To mitigate this ambiguity the ISO specification is that log10(x) should be lg (x) and loge(x) should be ln (x).

Zurround100 you are right in a way. They don't say that the universe began. You need to study quantum physics. They are saying that our region of space that contains the laws of physics and contains matter, began. But space has always been there. Brian is talking about our region of space. Not the universe itself. Look up quality tum physics or even string theory to understand what you yourself are saying what brain is saying and how they are related.

[@skinnykennizle]

I've recently started watching this video and so far it is quite AWESOME as I know what they are speaking of. And when proposes what led to the inflationary theory and what has caused for the universe to expand so rapidl is because of dark energy: an extremely repulsive force that axiomly outweighted gravity's contracting force. Now there are a bit of singularity's in which gravity wins and that is called the Big Crunch singularity but as apparent that is not true

[@skinnykennizle]

And to prove that Dark energy is indeed real is by the use of gravitational lenses

[@oidbio2565]

So quick question: is a black hole considered “black” because the amount of gravitational pull it has bends light so well that all light behind it is viewable on the other side? So it’s more of a stealthing effect than the lack of light reflection?

[@tedsword]

I'm not a physicist, so I can only give an answer as a layman on the subject. The answer is no, that is not why they are called black holes. There are other objects that significantly bend spacetime (spacetime is the medium through which light travels -- gravity is not actually bending the light, itself, but rather the path that the light takes). Look up "gravitational lensing" and you'll find some cool Hubble pictures out there, if you're interested. The lensing effects in the pictures were not created by black holes. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull for their size that when light crosses a certain radius called an "event horizon," it will never again escape beyond that event horizon. There's a much more detailed explanation for this phenomenon, if you're interested. You can find it by looking up "light cones", and you'll see diagrams where basically, all paths forward all bend toward the singularity in the black hole. This World Science Festival video is not about black holes at all, but there are some black hole videos out there, too, if you're curious.

[@hackerhesays731]

thàñk you, awesome chànnel. i àppreciate

[@sinisamilisavljevic8833]

There is one question to ask: Does light expand with Universe or within the Universe? What about everything else?

[@tedsword]

I'm not exactly sure exactly what you're asking, but I will say that as the universe expands, it's taking the waves of light passing through the universe with it. Wavelengths of light get stretched and longer the farther they travel through the universe. It's a phenomenon called "redshifting" because existing light wavelengths are moving toward the red end of the spectrum. That's why the James Webb Space Telescope, which just launched last month, is so finely tuned toward infrared -- It wants to look at some of that early light from the universe that was redshifted by the expansion of the universe.

[@sinisamilisavljevic8833]

@@tedsword If the whole Universe expands, then fields, waves and particles (as its integral parts) expand too? Or just the "edges" of the Universe expand making more room for the matter in it? Looks like the Big Bang was not "the only, one time source of matter" (Genesis from the Bible). The matter most likely has lot of (permanent?, occasional?) sources across the space-time.

[@steveh1273]

At 40 minutes they totally lose me. I started getting lost with the earlier, thrown in, quantum subject that wasn't explained. I'm a degreed engineer and it's clear to me that the panel is now communicating within themselves and other phd's in astronomical physics. This is typical of scholars and researchers highly involved in their field of study. Definitely not for the layman.

[@VeilerDark]

john landis Big Bang Causality the maternal universe was very old and dilated. At very low energy levels only photons exist, that's why CERN consumes so much energy. All particle fields might exist, but a particle is an excessive folding of that particular field, thus requires specific energy levels. According to Special Relativity [read wiki], there is a light-speed equilibrium. The fastest the external speed of a particle, the slowest it's spin decay and vice versa [read the GPS conundrum on wiki] A normal photon, travels at the speed of light. Ultra old universes are consisted only by photons, because all objects evaporate though time [read Hawking radiation on wiki] and only photons can exist at ultra low energy levels as particles [not fields]. When the universal dilation is humongous due to universal senescence [old age], photons are not able to move at all relativisically to each other, thus the light-speed equilibrium also known as Special Relativity, tends to break apart. In physics when a law is about to break apart, a system simply gets entropic [read entropy on wiki]. An entropic explosion has the same overall energy levels as the initial value, but it simply complexes and fragments the previous system. The overall thermal energy remains constant, but the "Big Bang universal era" is the only way that the laws of physics are maintained.

Valdagast there's plenty of evidence of a god. As time goes on it convinces even more scientists to consider a greater power. It takes a lot of faith to believe in science, how did everything begin from nothing? To explain it you come up with Multiverse theories, which you still end up with the same question, where did it all start? How could any of it have begun all by itself from absolutely nothing. Science is not contrary to God, God is the essence of all the energy which makes up the universe and as the greatest mathematician that we could even imagine. Fact if you broke down every atom electron, proton and neutron and quark, you would have some type of pure energy which scientist still don't even understand. And now the cosmic background radiation is actually showing that the Earth in the region of the Earth may actually be at the center of the universe with most of the universe showing signs that star formation is formed in layers like an onion around the region of the Earth. As seen in the documentary The principle, even some scientists are being open minded when considering the possibility. Don't forget about the accuracy of the Bible and history...... Not to mention the fact that there's a lot of examples, myself included, which I've seen direct proof that God and His spirit are there and listening and giving answers to show that he is there, and it often comes in bizarre ways that you couldn't imagine. You also should not confused a majority of the teachings of Christendom with that of the truth. Some teach a literal 6 day creation which is not true. The creative periods were many thousands of years long. And before that the Universe was already here in the Earth was already here, in fact it was a bowl of water with a very thick gaseous expense around it in which light was unable to penetrate. Evolution is impossible, and creation shows a designer, as in the Fibonacci sequence being found in everything even DNA. Science will never truly advance without the consideration have a grand designer and his grand thematics behind everything right down to our DNA. There's so much science cannot answer and in fact will never be able to answer because God himself said that there's a limit and we can never fully understand the scope of how God's works created everything and what's beyond that..... How Quantum information can travel between entangled particles..... Or how electrons simply disappear in space and reappear in a different energy level.... We're how particles can be waves and particles at the same time...... If you ask me science requires an awful lot of faith also.

You can try to hide from God in the gaps. Science is a valid method, and has certainly borne a lot of fruit this is undeniable. Still the true believers in science give it more credit than it's due, and y'all sound just like all the other true believers. I would specifically exclude all scientists who recognize science for what it is. You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time. But sooner or later God will cut you down. On topic, great video. Andrei Linde always cracks me up.

1:31:13 Di... Did Andrei Linde just call John Kovac Quacking Duck? Aw, HELL NO! xD. I almost died laughing. How can such an intelligent man commit such a childish and sophomoric name calling (based on a speech impediment)? Is this high school bullying? xD Weird sense of humor all around, but a GREAT discussion here nonetheless!

[@saxoman1]

Oners82 Yeah, I got that later on, but didn't modify my comment to reflect that. My apologies! I'm glad to know that he wasn't doing that, even if it caused me great (yet shameful) laughter. It was a great talk though! I can't wait to see Kovac's findings after more rigorous peer review!

I've always thought that the exit of a black hole is the entrance/emergence of a "universe". Ex. A "big bang" event is really only a supernova, giving birth to a black hole, and therefore a "new universe"? 55:59 (Self replicating universe) Denotes that there is a "feed" or "source" of new universes. Perhaps it is due to their extreme weight, that rips, and therefore "leaks" into a new plain of existence/universe? That may explain where all the matter comes from? Stephen Hawking eat your heart out?

i love these science shows...its a nice change from my normal life where i spend most of my time wallowing in my own ignorance

[@pallfy20]

I absolutely love these lectures! Thanks to these I’ve checked out a couple of Greene’s books (The Hidden Reality now Until The End of Time) from my library for more (:

Science need men like Brian Greene to present science to the world. I made this song using parts of TED Talk by Brian Greene: soundcloud.com/knobserve/distinctive-fingerprint

[@ruthiematteson6827]

My only issue with this is that nobody actually knows the age of any of the particles that are being observed.... including the background radiation. The origin is 100% being assumed... mainly because nobody has any other explanation for the background radiation that appears to be everywhere in the universe. What if the background radiation is actually being produced by the dark matter? That would instantly disprove the big bang theory right?

[@probono2876]

Andrei Linde you are a true star.

[@santanchalla4652]

Not true ..he is a drama artist.

[@trebledog]

Brian Greene is irreplaceable when moderating these extremely complex science presentations. I for one am so glad that WSF did not resort to the standard suit journalist when producing these videos. For Mr. Greene's work on many of these shows bringing these sciences to a wider audience, he should be acknowledged with a Nobel under a new category, which I'll leave up to the committee to decide.

[@PolarJoMcKay]

Very BIG Thumbs up! That was fantastic...so proud to watch how science works. Explanations were great; personalities authentic and mostly charming; congratulations and continued excitement. :) #CharmingScientists #Science #BrianGreene #learning

[@arnehanna3092]

I'm I mistaken or did the evidence for gravitational waves discussed here eventually prove to be erroneous?

[@martinzitter4551]

+Arne Hanna - Yes, the BICEP2 data was bad because it understated the effect of galactic dust. BICEP3 is much more sensitive and is taking data now.

[@Teknovae]

How can the earth arrive at its place from its origins in the Big Bang see an event that happens at its origin through signals that travel at the fastest speed possible- the speed of light? Isn’t it like telling your friend who drives at 140 kms per hour “ I’ll wait for your coming in our destination”, even if you can’t drive any faster than him and you left the origin at the same time? If this was a smoking gun, didn’t the smoke tarry too long for a multibillion old earth? Mind you this is not about hating works like this. They’re fabulous. There’s just so many holes that need to be explained or filled. Like the theory gravity is not a force. No one has explained why two masses attract, it’s just there, Newton said. Subsequent theories to explain the phenomena are still full of holes swept under the rug.

[@hidden4time]

I am on the side of Guth and Linde. The others develop contrarian theories for effect and sensation.

[@Yojimbo711]

Thanks for the upload this was a great conference as usual from World Science Festival, you gotta hand it to Greene for being an excellent host - on top of a genius scientist, in breaking the ice and gradually providing the questions for the conference to unfold upon. Good stuff!

Each cosmos has a beginning, but the ingredients of cosmoses do not have any beginning or origin. Nature does not need any prime-mover being, otherwise the 'being' needs 'a being' ad infinitum. The simple capabilities of self proficient nature not infinitely capabilities of self proficient prime-movers.

The Cosmogen or Common Shag lays eggs inside a paper bag. The reason as you've guessed no doubt is: to keep the lightning out. But what these unobservant birds have failed to realize is that herds of wandering Bears may come with buns and steal the bags to hide their crumbs.
