[@gravoc857]

This is both interesting and scary. If the cosmological constant isn’t actually a constant. What other rules of physics are not constant? Is it possible that the laws of nature change over time? Will it ever change to something incredibly hostile to life and orders of complexity?

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

If the multiverse is the true nature of things, then yes, the constants change all the time, but we never see any change that would be catastrophic to us. An interesting thought is that, if I were to ever get on a large spaceship going to another planet, some change that would be catastrophic *to Earth but not the spaceship* could occur, since I am safe on the spaceship. From the perspective of those on Earth though, they would be fine, but in a parallel universe.

@1:00:00 - if the universe doesn't collapse, but instead the rate of acceleration increases which possibly leads to "the big rip." I've heard in that scenario that atoms will eventually be ripped apart, but what about gluons? Isn't another set of gluons is created when torn apart? Would the whole universe be filled with gluon plasma at some point? What about the "fabric" of space? Can it be torn apart by this "force"? (My apologies if these questions are ignorant)

Is it possible that there's no dark energy - that the compounded force is attributable to the force of subatomic particles which repel each other - leading to expansion, except where gravitons create "pools" in space time? If so, is it possible that the "decay" is attributable to dilution of the density of particles which have repulsive force?

So exactly how are you supposed to read the graph? My take is that less than 1.0 means the expansion is slower than expected at that time and greater than 1.0 means it's faster. Is that correct, and if so it means the rate of expansion is slower than expected over the past 8 billion year or so?

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

Hi 😊

[@j.d.larsen]

I’m a relative layperson mathematically, but I have been following your channel and others in various theoretical scientific spaces from AI/Quantum computing to theoretical physics, and so far have been able to understand conceptually, if not mathematically. I recently watched your video with Stephen Wolfram on the concept of calculating physics as opposed to measuring (a very dumbed down encapsulation of what your discussion was about, and the thing that fascinated me about that one and this one, as well as a few others, is the concept of space as discrete units and its version of the movement of these units being akin to fluid dynamics as an explanation of dark energy, and then how that could interplay with with the decay of dark energy suggested here. If space is expanding nodes of the discrete unit of space, it could explain the decay of the latent “energy” of the cosmos as the number of units expands the total energy decreases. I am not sure if that makes any mathematical sense or if anyone can tell me why my understanding is wrong but I love the way these videos make me think.

[@david-joeklotz9558]

[@cinemaipswich4636]

As each added "light year shell" is added to the Universe, it becomes diminished in volume, percentage wise, compared to the combined volume of all the shells before it. If there were a primal amount of vacuum energy to start with, its n/m³ will fade on a logarithmic scale.

[@ejpoleii]

A thought. Is space-time continuous or quantized? What would be the consequences of either?

[@christiantrammell6271]

The plank length proves the universe is quantized (or at least the things that have to be in it). we haven’t found evidence it’s continuous yet. It could be a fabric of tiny wormholes (the gluon force that holds quark pairs together)

[@DanJanTube]

Something I've been confused by, Dr. Greene. If time slows down as velocity increases, and the expansion of the universe is accelerating, shouldn't time be slowing down universally? To my knowledge, no model takes this into account.

[@timjohnson3913]

The expansion of the space of the universe is accelerating but that doesn’t mean the objects in the Universe are accelerating. If time is slowing as the universe ages, it’s not because of velocity increases due to the accelerating universe.

Great stuff; that equipment is super sensitive, squeezing out as much data as possible. Such an interesting question, we need more clues on dark energy. Hopefully, we can test the theory of a limit of the energy expansion and challenge the cold death theory. Thanks for sharing.

[@semajin]

I wonder if it's possibly a limitation of scale that causes it to appear as though the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. If we were to observe only part of the oblong orbit of a planet around a star for instance, it would appear to accelerate the closer it came to the source of gravity, and we would miss the portion of orbit where the planet was slowing. Is it possible that this is some kind of universal orbit that occurs on a scale we can't perceive with our current hardware.

[@PeterRice-xh9cj]

One millionth of a second is too fast for us to remember or experience, so it’s fair to say that in that short span of time we have no sense of being or our sense of being doesn’t exist. The span of time we can remember or be aware of is joined together by spans of time that are too fast for us to be able to take any notice of, so how is it possible to have a sense of being at all. Let’s imagine an atom moves an extremely short distance. The span of time it takes for this atom to move this extremely short distance is too short of a time interval for us to be aware of anything, so where were we, or where was our sense of being. To us, the universe, a hurricane, or an infinitely long line of dominos that are falling down, does not have a sense of being according to us. Say one day feels like one second to us, but one second just feels like one second to the person standing next to us, then according to the person standing next to us our sense of being does not exist. So what if we as conscious beings are both ourselves, as well as the universe. We can be ourselves where one second feels like one second, and at the same time we can be the universe, which solves the problem as not consciously existing at extremely short time spans. At extremely short time spans that are too fast for us to be aware of anything, we can’t say that we are different individuals because we don’t exist. Every one could be the universe. Imagine two zero dimensional points. These two zero dimensional points are not in any particular space, or are not separated by any space but are separated by time. Nonetheless, even though these two zero dimensional points are separated by time, they both still exist simultaneously. Let’s say one second was like one second to one of these zero dimensional points, but one second was like one day to the other one. That would make perfect sense as to why the two points are separated by time but still both exist simultaneously. So everyone could be their individual selves, an at the same time every one makes the universe. All numbers are the same because all a number really is is jus the digit one that is a certain way up the number line, but the boundaries in between numbers really are different to the digit ones each side of them. So one of these two zero dimensional points that are experiencing time different from each other could be a boundary in boundary in between numbers, and the other could be a digit one that makes a number. Our sense of being may not be zero dimensional but four dimensional. We need to be focusing on a colour to have a sense of being, even if we are just imagining it, which involves time going by. If one hundred years went on while we had no sense of being, it would be like a flash to us. One week goes around in a circle, repeating itself after completing the circle. If you have an appointment booked for Friday and gets changed to the Thursday before, Friday and Thursday have switched places with each other in a blink of an eye or an infinitely fast split second. The two days have switched places with each other but have not taken any time to do so. Imagine if the 7 days of the week forming the circle were still or frozen, so each of the 7 days were just 3 dimensional spaces that don’t involve any time going by. The week involves time, but because the 7 days that make up the circular week are still 3 dimensional spaces, they don’t involve any time. If an appointment for Friday gets changed to the Thursday before, Friday has switched places with Thursday infinitely fast. If Friday keeps switching places with the 6 other days around the circle infinitely fast non stop, Friday would take up all the other days spots up at the same time. All the 7 days around the circle are still or frozen 3 dimensional spaces, so if Friday is taking up the 6 other day’s places up all at once, Friday would now be made up of time turning it from 3 dimensional to 4 dimensional. And the six other days would have to all fit into Friday’s space all at once forming one 3 dimensional day. So we have Friday switching places with all the other days infinitely fast non stop taking filling the 6 other days places all at once becoming 4 dimensional, and the 6 other days are not switching around the circle but they would all have to all make one 3 dimensional day to fit into the space Friday is leaving behind. So Friday is forming a 4 dimensional day, and the six other days are making one 3 dimensional day. Let’s say the 7 frozen 3 dimensional days forming the circle all stay in their places, not switching with other days. If Friday was separated by the 6 other days by time, but the 6 other days were not separated by each other by time, the 6 other days would form one 4 dimensional entity because they are not separated by time. The 6 other days are only separated from Friday by time. So the same thing is now happening as if Friday were switching spaces with the 6 other days around the circle infinitely fast non stop. When Friday stay’s in its space, Friday is the 3 dimensional day and the 6 other days make the 4 dimensional thing. When Friday switches places with the 6 other days infinitely fast non stop the other 6 days become one 3 dimensional day and Friday becomes 4 dimensional. When the 7 frozen 3 dimensional days forming the circle remain in their places, because the 6 other days are not separated by each other by time, the 6 make one 4 dimensional thing. But because the 6 are separated by Friday by time, Friday makes the 3 dimensional day. The 4 dimensional thing can be red and the 3 dimensional day can be blue. Let’s say there are two zero dimensional points, and these two zero dimensional points are the only two colours that exist, each being red and blue. Let’s say each of these two zero dimensional points are themselves composed of individual zero dimensional points mixed together. If the two zero dimensional points both split apart so the individual zero dimensional points that made them are dispersed, you might think the two colours that the two zero dimensional points were don’t exist any more. But if all these dispersed points formed a circle like the 7 day week with frozen 3 dimensional days, the two colours could still exist even though the two zero dimensional points have split apart. So we could be the 4 dimensional thing and at the same time be the 3 dimensional day. Let’s say there are two groups of people. Let’s say that time can’t move on until one person leaves one group and enters the other group. If that is the case, then person B from the left group would have to leave their group and enter the right group at the exact same time as person A is leaving the right group and entering the left group. Imagine a circle composed of 20 frozen 3 dimensional days. Each frozen day was either red or blue. So it goes red red blue blue blue red red blue blue and so on. Let’s imagine each frozen days being like a right or left group. If one day switched with the day next to it that is a different colour, all the other days would each switch with the days next to them that are a different colour at the exact same time.

[@judgementhallcollections8168]

I dont see why the nature of the 1A varies slightly by the composition. I think it is plain silly to think that they are all exactly the same. I think beyond that proximity to things we dont understand likely also play a role. But our pathetic understanding should be suitable enough until it is not.

Seems to me we need more patience and let more photons resolve the picture so we can possibly see lets say Andromeda in full spectrum.

[@kimpettersson6605]

[@troywhite6039]

You may be looking at decaying in the wrong way. It could be that everything multiplies into separating components that take up more space than combined components, so it seems like expansion.

[@Alice_Sweicrowe]

What if light is stretching out over time due to the effects of moving at the speed of light?

[@isatousarr7044]

Dark energy, with its enigmatic, non-constant nature, challenges our understanding of the cosmos, as it appears to evolve over time rather than remaining fixed. If dark energy continues to decay or change, what could this mean for the ultimate fate of the universe; could it lead to a dramatic shift in our cosmic future?"

[@dannyboi986]

I have a proposition, I would have to do a lot of studying to be able to prove myself. Could gravity's effects treat galaxies as solid bodies, with the mechanism being the vast density differences. I will be able to articulate this thought better further on as it is a new idea to me. The (technically unmeasured,) sparseness of intergalactic space and the (theoretically,) orders of magnitude increased density of a galaxy might cause the behaviour we see. We don't know how intergalactic vacuum space acts or its characteristics. I believe electromagnetism has an important role in part of our understanding too. Berkland currents being a favourite phenomenon to mention.

[@sclogse1]

It's my impression that this universe we live In is really a graveyard of previous universes. Which could explain dark matter and dark energy.. It doesn't explain other dimensions, though.

[@williambunting803]

That was very exciting and I love the sincere enthusiasm of Michael Levi. In My thought model where Quarks are held together by the Higgs Field at the beginning dynamic energy (matter) becomes entrapped in a static energy field (primordial Higgs Field) and that settles out as atomic matter, but the Higgs Field in that time is far more dense so the Field Intensity Gradient would be steeper with more intense Gravity. Then 12 billion years later the Field Intensity Gradient is less intense as matter moves further apart. In this notion though the death of the universe comes where the Higgs Field can no longer contain matter energy and matter dis integrates in a flash of light as Linear Energy returns to the Pre Universal State. But the birth to Death of the Universe is not a zero sum game unless Static Energy Loops (Higgs Field) can transition to Linear Energy and all emitted photons can somehow attain the same energy level of Matter Linear energy, which once the transmission rate detergent of the Higgs Field no longer exists all energy can revert, in principle, to infinite speed. And perhaps in that way the Universe recycles.

He's my role model. I wanted to be a Physicist too❤

of course it is... I say Entropy is constant...
