Professor Tegmark is my favourite physicist. 💥Highly intelligent, humble, humorous and an all-round nice guy... always a joy to watch. 👌 Thank you for both your contribution and presentations. 👀

[@timmah3496]

I did find him quite humorous. Seemed to me he spoke to a tough crowd. Excellent presentation. :)

Tack för föreläsningen Max, det ska bli spännande att dels fortsätta följa ert insamlande av data från radioteleskopen men även fortsätta följa dina eskapader inom den övriga världsledande forskningen om universums födelse och framtid. Det skänker mig stor glädje och en djupare insikt i om vi kommer närmare svaret 42...

Superb presentation. From Aristarchus and Eratosthenes to the omniscope at MIT

[@bworldrighteousness3895]

fantastic max! i love thinking about this and have concluded that there is quite a paradox in our human understanding. while most think time is time and space is space, i say nope. time is space. think about when you are not moving, like sitting all day. time fades and spurts based upon how much you do mentally, the amount of things you do. and space is time. think about driving, when we are moving across distances they come and go at different amounts yet time is then sensed and more constant. so when we look up at the sky we should not say we see space, but that we are looking at time. only way we could see space then is to look at something from the exact same spot years apart!

What this world needs is a new Einstein to explain the quantum mysteries, and he's the man.

[@vineeshk.v8091]

I have a question(may be stupid one). Big Bang happened from a single apple sized object and then all transitions happened. Now we are looking back to the time and we can see the opaque plasma background. My question is in the lecture Max says we are looking from inside to out side... why is it not from out side to inside? Thanks

[@dhgfffhcdujhv5643]

Its simply astounding that we see teachings like this even when our science is not complete and there are number of unanswered question and theories ... Ludicrous to even think with tiny minds that Big Bang ever happened ...

[@Petticca]

I do not understand your objection. I'm not sure how much humankind does have complete knowledge of. Your comment seems to be suggesting that we shouldn't teach anything that we don't have complete understanding of, which is a nonsensical notion. When one learns to talk as a toddler, our caregivers do not have anything close to a complete understanding of language; Not of how humans are able to acquire language, not of how babies are able to discern multiple languages, not how exactly we learn to process language and assign abstract meaning to it, not even a complete understanding of one's native language and all of the usage throughout its evolution. It's madness to think, with our tiny minds, that we can say "my child is learning to talk" nevermind try and 'teach' them our language. You could pick any thing else and substitute it for big bang, I think my example has enough layers but really, pretty much anything will work.

[@Bigtooly]

oh wow a room full of people, must of been recorded a prior year, 2014, yup makes sense, society had a better grip of reality back then

[@StevieObieYT]

Interesting

[@taciodasilva8291]

If the stars that are at the edge of the universe were 13,8 billion light years from us when they sent their light that just reaches us NOW they should be the double distance from us. Is this right? So the actual size of the visible universe is 27.6 billion light years?

These numbers have been hidden and seen as powerful. Although truly they are not. They can be used of course but these numbers are just measurements of the quality of expression of what we are.

[@unitedspacepirates9075]

Redshift observed is a gravitational distortion causing an apparent dopplar effect. There was no big bang.

There is no such thing as empty space. If it were empty it wouldn't be space, it would be nothing. No space, no time. At least if you by empty mean the absence of anything.

Without an intelligent agent controlling the so called inflationary process there are an infinite number of ways this process could have failed, and not resulting in a finely tuned universe. Random perfection on hundreds of thousands of occurrences is not possible even in13.8 billion years. The human body is just as complex as the universe if not more complex God is miraculous and supernaturally real. Thank God for the Holy Bible.

[@falexmendez]

Sounds like they created a magical and unatural begining (inflation) to which math can then be plugged in, and subsequent predictions made. This whole thing is missing a huge piece of truth.

[@wiz-of-gnosis5242]

The truth is you come up with an hypothesis (inflation), plug in the math, if it works and can be duplicated among other scientists then you can make predictions. You seem to be describing the scientific method then saying it does not reveal the truth. I hope you are not one of those that get answers from one of the couple hundred religions.

[@arvelcrynyd6311]

Admittedly I'm a layfolk. But I take issue with Inflation Theory because it seems to presuppose the Big Bang THEORY as an ABSOLUTE rather than consider other ideas or alternative theories. It makes me worry that the scientific community is cultish, and subject to peer pressure and other biases that it shouldn't be, were it to adhere to its truest tenants; being unbiased, being impartial, etc. It's almost as if scientists are human, or something... Basically, I'm concerned that certain aspects of the scientific community establishment are silencing voices that should otherwise be heard. I'm not a science-denier, I'm not a flat-earther, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I'm not moon-landing-denier. I love science and I want to understand our universe. And I don't want science to become some mutation of religion. Basically, alternative ideas to the Big Bang should be considered. Inflation Theory is lazy. It takes the Big Bang for granted, rather than consider something else.

[@arvelcrynyd6311]

You: There HAD TO HAVE BEEN some kinda primordial "tiny speck" that the Big Bang came from. Because BIG BANG, BIG BANG, BIG BANG!!! It's the ONLY WAY!!! Me: Why? How do you know that??? You: .... Uhhhh.... Because.... BIG BANG! INFLATION! TRUST ME!!!!!

Columbus never thought he was going to India, that is a nonsense urban legend.

[@yanair2091]

What are you talking about? Columbus was trying to reach India by sailing west, thinking that earth's circumference is less than it actually is.

[@jeupater1429]

@@yanair2091 the indies in the 15th century did not mean the same thing as India today. As far as they were concerned everything east of India was the Indies. That's how they defined it. He didn't land there thinking he was in the same place as India like an idiot. He knew he was in an unknown land. The word people used at that time for the entire area east of India until Europe was the Indies. It'd be like if you decided to move to Mexico, then 500 years later they change the definition of "Mexico" to mean only Mexico City, and then people in the future laughed at how dumb you were for thinking you lived in Mexico city when you were really living in Tijuana, for example (which to you was Mexico). You want to understand the past, understand the definitions they used, not dumb modern misinterpretations

[@yanair2091]

@@jeupater1429 I see. But I don't think that Columbo trying to reach India is dumb interpretation, it's just colloquialism. What is dumb is thinking that he would be dumb if that was the case.

[@jeupater1429]

@@yanair2091 when has this notion been cited not for the sake of having a misguided laugh at Columbus? This topic isn't honestly broached to enquire into Columbus's epistemic understanding of the world. It's brought up to exploit a false urban legend and misinterpretation of history. The irony is, the ignorant people are those doing the laughing

[@djtrabbizramage8759]

This guy is a total charlatan.. presumptions and assumptions do not equal fact

[@BanBiofuels]

I do not understand why Max is still talking about the Big Bang Theory, which has been disproven by the observable facts again and again. Our measurements of distant objects have been inaccurate, and some distant objects are not as far away as we had thought. Space is full of plasma, and plasma can distort light. Plasma can red shift objects, and that is why some objects that are measured to be flying away from us are right next to objects that are coming toward us. Many of Einstein's theories have proven to be false, such as his theory of gravity and his alleged light speed barrier. Those saucers and triangle shaped machines flying around the world every day prove that. I personally believe that the Electric Universe Theory is at least partially correct. I do not believe that Venus use to be close to Earth. That part is fantasy, in my opinion, but the electrical interconnectedness of stars is real and measurable. Stars are at leas partially powered by electricity from cosmic sources, not just by fusion. The Big Bang theory is born from the human mind programmed by Christianity and other religions which tell us everything has a beginning and an end. It's called "Creationism." Our universe has always been here, and it is infinite with no beginning and no end.
