Look around you. Where are you? Where is this place you are occupying? Somewhere in a room, maybe in a city on a continent on a planet orbiting a star in a galaxy among billions. But… where is all of that? While this may feel like a daft question, it turns out that the concept of an absolute position is something humans made up.
In a nutshell, the universe is a big bag of space that has things in it. If someone removed all these things, the stars and planets and black holes and dust, there would just be empty space left. In empty space, the concept of having a position loses all meaning. Empty space is uniform, the same everywhere.

The only thing that would've made this video/animation better is if they took the concept of time travel in mind. For instance: If you are on a floaty swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and you set your wrist watch to go back in time by 1 Second. Would your body-double really be in the ocean, metres away, where you were floating 1 second ago. (Think Back to the Future). Or would you be kilometres away due to the rotation of the Earth. Or would you be thousands of kilometres due to Earths orbit around the Sun. Or would you be light-years away due to the orbit of our Solar System around the orbit of our Milky Way. Or even further away as our galaxy is moving away from other galaxies in our universe. Or perhaps our entire Universe itself is moving too. ...Perhaps the Universe is moving, like bubbles in a bathtub, and our Universe is rubbing against alternate universes at a higher dimension which one day might pop into each other, cease to exist, or create a new Universe. And God is nothing but a belligerent baby enjoying the bubbles, written in a story, in the mind of an intoxicated author, who is watching a Kurzgegast video on his iPhone, whilst sitting in a floaty in a Pacific Island, which is on Earth that is spinning, that orbits the sun... ... ... ...

[@DiegoDerSchatten]

This is how my father explained to me, why time traveling would be by far the most impossible and ressource consuming thing ever to be done by humanity. As you may be able to bend time, but you need to track the exact location of the earth in the universe, from where you want to time travel to.

[@michaelbuckers]

This implies the existence of an absolute frame of reference in the universe, which is not a thing. Since it requires a time-space warp, which is basically a worhmole with an entrance and an exit, in which both are basically just modified black holes, the exit point would simply orbit all the objects in vicinity. This means unless it's at orbital velocity, it will orbit THROUGH earth. Which, since it's a black hole like physical object, means disaster for earth. Actually, having a black hole like object that big anywhere near the solar system means disaster in any case.

[@planets9102]

Yeah no, the earth is an (almost) inertial reference frame. Any time travel method that is "stationary" in space an constructed on earth would not preturbed by anything but the rotation of the earth . (and very slightly by tidal forces). Standing still only means no acceleration, no net force (no, gravity isn't a force, see General Relativity, an orbit is a "straight line"/geodesic through space time). If the time machine were built on earth and kept the spacial reference frame of earth you'd probably only need to use it on a plane and take a parachute with you. You'd also need to do a 0g dive. This makes the reference frame locally inertial, jump into your wormhole and you'll pop out in more or less the same spot in the sky. (I'd still take an oxygen mask and jump out a few km above the ground to have some wiggle room)

[@Invisble748]

I think you need to be a god or god like to do that.

[@pray4us955]

No offense. You're father had no idea what he was talking about

[@furyvsblitzkrieg]

Time travel would only be possible if you could travel in time and space.

[@kusalg]

@@romanski5811 I have to disagree, while I understand there's some appeal to experiencing existential questions and bleaker outcomes, I think doing that makes them unique in a sea of creatives that speak of such topics with a negative outlook.

[@romanski5811]

@@kusalg On the practical side, I agree, it's better to induce positivity and hopefulness in these trying times. But once climate change, wealth inequality, sustainable environment etc. is fixed, then they should go back to inducing pure existential dread.

@@romanski5811 did you say wealth inequality ? Bro please...stop with Marxist/Communist utopian dreams , this will never happen for one fundemental reason... people are different and make different decisions and have different skills and you cant equal that out no matter how hard you try because not all things have equal value period. Anyone can mow the lawn , very few can perform brain surgery. This means the value of brain surgery especially if you need it is much higher with a limited supply of capable people to do it than lawn mowers . You won't pay $100k to have lawn mowed but I bet you'd pay that for a life saving surgery. This mentality has been tried to the conclusion of the deaths of literally hundreds of millions of people. See Lenin, Stalin , Mao and Pol Pot to name a few, this BS has been tried IT DOESN'T WORK when are people going to get it through their head already? The best way to destroy and impoverish a country is to try to achieve equitable outcomes all you ever end up with is equally poor and starving people or do you not know about the Gulags and the 10 million starved in the USSR ? The very best we can achieve is equality of opportunity with a social safety net to make sure the people at the very bottom aren't left behind and suffering and I dare you to prove otherwise

THAT WAS WONDERFUL

[@faustus2058]

I just graduated with a degree in physics, and my peers gave me a hard time over liking kurzgesagt. Their perspective was that kurzgesagt oversimplifies problems, and doesn't consider serious questions. My counter-point was that kurzgesagt does extremely well at the job it tries to do: to make science approachable and fun! I think many scientists get caught up with the details of highly complex scientific questions, and this makes the scientific fields seem unapproachable. In order to keep the scientific fields alive, we desperately need public outreach efforts like kurzgesagt to get people to realize the beauty and fun involved in asking or answering scientific questions! Thank you for all that you do kurzgesagt, you are an amazing channel, and you have done so much for the advancement of the sciences.

This ties into the existential crisis I had about feeling trapped behind my eyes and knowing I would never be able to see the world from another point of view, and no one would know what it's like to feel what I feel or hear what I'm thinking, and when my eyes close, that's it. No more world. I won't suddenly switch perspectives from another "universe." It felt very, very isolating. This tied into that, because where I am, no one else will ever be, and vice versa.

[@noctembra]

I've thought about that, too! It got me more interested in philosophy of perception. Reminds me of things like the allegory of the cave which I've always found fascinating, and the Cartesian "evil demon".

[@likell]

I love how you guys just straight forward made people have an existential crisis, then try to give somewhat a cure with you guys' optimistic nihilism, and also the choose of words in "cosmic humility". It's quite interesting for me to watch your videos since after bringing this cosmic humility to my mind, and feeling the absolute nihil, i start to realise how short range of time i got in my life, and that i want to use every drop of it in bringing myself further and further away, as far as i can.

If your going the speed of light you can tell what direction you are moving relative to space by pointing a light around until it stops working. When the light bends back into your face and blinds you you know your pointing the light in the direction you are going.

[@Poopshit420]

Basically if you can find a way around the fact that by using a mirror when you shine a light at it when going half the speed of light it takes twice as long to get to the mirror and half as long to get back, then that when pointed backwards it takes half the time to get there and twice the time to get back hence measuring the same time, you win.

An interesting concept related to this is the issue of time travel. Even if time travel were to be possible, if you travelled back or forwards in time, you would also have to travel through space, as earth would be in an entirely different place, possibly millions of light years away considering the expansion of the universe. We often conceptualize time travel as if we could hop in a machine in our backyard, travel back in time to the era of dinosaurs, and see how our backyard looked back then. But you’d likely end up in an empty part of space with the Earth nowhere to be seen

[@MONTOD]

Aren't there some manifestations of time travel where there is a type of transmitter and receiver? Wouldn't answer the question?

[@nipun056]

Whether or not time travel is possible isn't up for debate. We're always traveling through time and we don't know how to stop. As we continuously travel into the future, we're also continuously moving through space. It doesn't seem possible to move through space and not time or to move through time and not space. So I don't think we would have to worry about ending up in an empty part of space.

[@Tao_Tology]

It would depend on the mechanism or technology that allowed time-jumping. One view is that it would be like jumping off a moving car, it would carry on its way. So if you 'step off' (travel forward or backward) you'll end up far from where the car "now" is. It could also be that, while travelling through time, you keep/reduce your space-travel momentum. A nifty thought-experiment is also that, if you could time travel, you would be able to get readings on whether the universe in general was 'moving' or if it is an overall static mass.

[@metallicarchaea1820]

I believe that before a proper time travel machine can be made, we need a teleportation device as a component to the time machine can calculate not just temporal but even physical coordinates. Inertia would also be an issue.

[@daniel_rossy_explica]

You could move only in time but not in space if you calculated in avance where your position was at the moment you entered the time machine. But I think that would make it so you can't jump to arbitrarely chosen points in time, only when the planet itself is in the same relative position (or, at least) you wouldn't end too many kilometeres in the air, or worse, in space.

I don't think so - because the next question is "relative to what" and the counter-intuative answer is "there is no what - it's all relative!". So as long as you were moving relative to the time machine itself, or maybe even you yourself, you'll be fine. In other words - if you consider the earth moving - then you yourself are moving as you enter the "time machine" (whatever incarnation that takes" - therefore you'd keep your momentum - like the portals in Portal - but through time, not space.

I read in an old astronomy book (The Origin and Evolution of our own Particular Universe) that talked about how Aristotle believed that the earth was the center of the universe and the planets orbited around us. When observation didn't match this model, Ptolemy decided that the planets moved in a circle upon a circle around the earth. A wheel upon a wheel, as he called it. This still wasn't quite right, and adding more wheels upon wheels upon wheels didn't work. It took until Copernicus for people to think we moved around the sun and Kepler to discover that the planets moved in ellipses, not circles. It's kind of funny to realize that the wheels upon wheels model was kind of right in a roundabout way, since we spin around on the earth, which spins around with the moon, with the whole affair spinning around the sun, which spins around the galaxy.
