so, have we figured out the 'shape' of the universe or not?.. if every 'point' is the 'center' and is moving away from 'everything', then why would galaxys collide?..
@GeorgeNada1 because galaxies close to each other are still dominated by gravity rather than the expansive force of dark energy. so they will collide, while the galaxies further away will accellerate away
"warped space time" & "the shape of space time" LMFAO! more like warped quackademic theories or warp 12 of star treck scifi fantasy stuff. Too bad Sagan did not speak about reality and pushed debunked quack theories instead. Imagine how much further along humanity would be by now had Sagan told the truth about Cosmology instead of spreading the agenda of TPTB!
@77GSlinger Look up the GP-B experiment that NASA performed, which supports Einstein's theory of relativity. And you know what the theory of relativity implies? That space-time can be distorted ("warped") by gravity. So nothing Sagan has said is outside the bounds of conventional scientific discourse, and based on your argument from ignorance I think it's safe to say you haven't a clue what you're talking about.
This is outdated physics, I have no qualification beyond GCSE in physics but I read a lot of physics books and the general consensus now is that the universe is most likely flat. Apparently it is in fact a giant hologram. I don't understand that, I'm not sure the PHD's do either lol.
@u3190 When the WMAP survey says the universe is "flat" they mean Euclidean on the larger scale. The "Observable universe" is the multi-billion-light-year-radius sphere that surrounds us, but the space within that sphere is topologically Euclidean, except in the presence of massive objects.
@FluffyBunniesOnFire Well, from what I've read, the Universe have been shown to be flat to a 0,5% margin of error. But maybe the event horizon has been pushed off too far away so the Universe looks falt at our observable Universe which is just a very small portion of a much larger closed Universe.
Carl Sagan was an advocate for the legalization of Cannabis, yes. That doesn't mean that he was high at work, because unlike most of you retards, he was a responsible adult. Just because someone smokes doesn't mean that they do it 24/7, and I'm sick of you retards constantly associated Sagan just with Weed, only because you like having your mind blown.
The only reason Hubble invented spacial curvature was because of his bias atheistic philosophy.
"Therefore, in order to restore homogeneity, and to escape the horror of a unique position, the departures from uniformity, which are introduced by the recession factors, must be compensated by the second term representing effects of spatial curvature. There seems to be no other escape."
the extra "up and down" directions of the transition to 4D can only be visualized on a 3-sphere. the problem with trying to visualize it as you do the other directions is that you try to envision it placed on a 2-sphere, which you can't do. analogously, the third directions "up and down" cant be visualized on a 1-sphere, a circle.
There should be a national holiday all over the world called Carl Sagan day. That fuckin guy wrote great books and educated people millions. His books put the Bible and Koran to shame.I would be happy to join Carl Sagan in hell when my time comes Problem is is that there is no hell, but his teachings will last for many years long after we are all gone and the next generation of homo sapien sapiens can watch his vids.We still have Dawkins and Hitchens these days thank the flying Spag Mon for that
@kansaimagic well put :) ... we can hope the knowledge spreads ... the internet is definitely helping ... but "the powers that be" may in fact profit from mass ignorance ... and on the topic of religion (unrelated to the video), there is only one point i would like to put across ... Religion is not a SOURCE of morality ... morality in fact has more to do with our evolutionary instincts as a species ... its intrinsic ... not something that is derived from an external source ...
continued from previous. It all fits. The theoretical physicists of M-THEORY claims that the parallel membranes within the 11th dimension have to ripple. These ripples are the warps and curves within the 11th dimension which is why they have a stronger effect on us and why we have matter and the universe itself from the collision of the parallel membranes i.e. the big bang.
The only possible shapes of the space-time fabric are spherical, elliptical, and infinite objects. Spherical objects are planets, moon, suns, etc. Elliptical objects are galaxies and solar systems. And the only infinite object in the universe is the body left over by the intense gravitational field...black holes. Gravity is also caused by the warps and curves within the space-time fabric. The other forces are stronger because they are caused by warps and curves in the 11th dimension of M-THEORY!
There only one thing I need to see to confirm everything. Where does new matter enter our universe? Could it be from the mysterious gamma ray bursts?, or as the universe expands, our our mass expand with it, everything gets heavier but we don't notice due to relativity.
theres one thing I can say all this science shit has taught me. Big and small are the SAME.. the only difference is the time scale. Big is slow, small is fast. We could absolutely be living in a universe contained within a much larger black hole, only the black hols is so large, the timescale has slowed to the point where it seems like nothing is happening. Also if y ou get sucked into a black hole, you will enter a new timescale, and thus a new universe
"because there's so much matter in the universe that it gravitationally warps space, closing it back on itself" -
Carly Sag'ns explanation of the evolutionary notion that spheres formed by naturalistic processes, is anything but scientific. He simply pulled that from out of his gravitational dark hole... where you will find absolutely no brilliantly stellar, shining radiance
i don't like the analogy he is trying to make. Discovering another dimension is nothing like discovering the earth was round. Flat earth believers realised there were 3 spacial dimensions since they were observable on smaller objects. These people simply couldn't imagine the round earth "hanging" there in the universe not falling "down" :)
Since this was filmed, scientists have proved (Boomerang experiment a.o.) that the assumption that the universe curves back into itself is false. The universe is flat.
@henkvanderlaak wtf are you on about "the universe is flat"? And where did you get this Boomerang experiment from? I don't really care to look into it. It's not my field, but I find Carl so interesting. If you can convince me to question this vid then I will, but all you have done so far is make incoherent assertions. Care to explain yourself by directing me to a link or something?
@Pigroota I am on about the progress physics has made since this was filmed. Just go to Wikipedia and look for "boomerang experiment" (very interesting stuff, please do). This experiment taught us that the universe does not in fact 'curve into itself' as Sagan demonstrated in the video. Carl Sagan has made invaluable contributions to science, and I respect him a lot. But unlike religion, science moves on and when new facts are discovered, our insights have to change This is one of those facts.
Is he for life? From conception to natural death as Catholic Church teaches?
If yes, he has my support! Fr. Corapi is wise, The President should be wise also. He should agree with God, so God could agree with him. Jesus is The King. The President should know what it means. Not only he, but all government. To rule, to serve.
@yuri35435 People also tried to achieve flight thousands of years ago, but it was only until recently we've had the power to do it. Tell the greatest scientists back then what a propeller is or what a combustion engine is, and they would likely deduce it as gibberish. Then try to explain to them the complexities of a turbine engine, or rockets, which can shoot us to other celestial bodies. Sure we cant imagine a way to use wormholes right now, but its only a matter of time.
Free energy technology exists!But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!
People like Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Hubble blow my mind. Like I feel like loading a revolver and shooting my brains out because my head hurts so bad after hearing them talk. That's not a bad thing. It's like I watch this and go, "Jesus Christ, how could one person be that smart? How can he explain something so incredibly complex in such a simple manner?"
"... That is, from a philosophical and imaginative point of view, perhaps the most important of all the novelties that Einstein introduced." On the other hand, some people would readily assume that Einstein's findings in Physics support the Kantian view of space and time. However, Russell is explicitly clear in stating that it is misleading to believe that Einstein's space-time in any way resembles Kant's space and time......Bertrand Russell ...taken from wikipedia, not mine
@Uteko95 albert einstein once argued that cold couldn't be studied, because it was merely the absence of heat. he also said the dark could not be studied, because it was merely the absence of light.
he said, similarly, evil itself does not exist - it is merely the absence of good.
although he studied the stars and the ways of the universe, he was forever puzzled by HOW it all started and began believing in higher beings, though not in the same way as many people today.
A video for all time and for people of all ages. He is a kind and gentle man and I wish he was my kids' teacher. They'd learn so much from him, first and foremost how to be human and kind. Truly will we miss Carl immensely.
If the "Big Bang" was about 14 Billion years ago, that is the age of our Universe. How do we know if there are several Billion Universes Trillions of light years away? There light wouldn't reach our known Universe until many Billions of years after it has vaporized into "nothingness". What if there has been a series of "Big Bangs" over the last 5 Trillion years that have long created, expanded and faded away Billions of Universes? Human mind cannot fathom infinity or eternity...
Is he suggesting that the universe is flat but curved? That if we take a space shift and go straight the entire time, we would end up where we started again?
Geometry of Universe. The problem with a closed box, without an outside, is the heat has nowhere to go, thus we should be surrounded by rising heat (it is still quanta of energy) and light as bright as our Sun. Therefore, are we in some kind of curved Universe that folds back into itself, or is it infinite in all dimensions? One has us dying in a cosmic heat up and the other dying in a cosmic cool down. If curved, then what shape is it? Like a Klein bottle?
@WOWJBEOWULF You're right! Sometimes I believe that scientists just try to make things look harder than what they really are... so they can be ''the gate keeper'' of a knowledge that ''people'' don't quite understand... Today... it seems that the universe is... more or less... flat!
@tuzmor Does it? I think his talent is explaining rarely discussed concepts in basic terms to people unfamiliar with them. To anyone with a degree in astrophysics this stuff is child's play. Equally those people would need a basic explanation of say egyptian hieroglyphs. Accruing knowledge doesn't raise your IQ and physics isn't intrinsically hard, most people just assume it is because they didn't like it at school.
Astronomers in particular and science in general do not know what they say. The historical answer concerning the universe have it in the video: "Orbit of the Sun and orbits of Venus" but do not want to take notice. Insist on maintaining the falsehood of all mankind for 30 paltry pieces of silver ...
@vasilislog Vasilislog, instead of doing your mentally retarded name calling and demonstrating your obvious lack of intellectual capacity. Get an education.
A good indicator of higher dimensions is (Like in this case) if you cannot divide the total area of your orient by the number of dimensions you suppose it has.
I.E. you can't cover ALL of a sphere with 2 dimensional squares.
@Xeonveridan hmm Im pretty sure circles will leave gaps on anything it forms except a sphere just as anything other than a circle would leave gaps forming a shere. If you cut a tiny hole in a sphere, and open it and lay it out it will form a perfect circle
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
not really a theory but just a little self eplanation, i think that what people call "ghosts" are really just advanced 4d creatures messin around with us :D
I believe we are 4D consciousnesses bound to a 3D body. And when we die our 4D "spirit" transcends back to the 4th dimension.
This i believe also explains why dying people might have out-of-body experiences, observing everything in the room as if they were levitating "above" it.
Paranormal people (as far as paranormal might go) might then be people not as firmly anchored to their 3D bodies.
I personally think ghosts are the same thing as gods or imaginary friends; concepts of (meaning conceived in) the human mind.
some people are convinced they hear jesus' voice, some believe their imaginary friend is real, ghosts are probably no different - convincing to the observer but merely the misinterpretation of stimulus; imagined or experienced.
@gavsmith1980 Stimulus created by what? What is on the outside of our senses -outside of the box with 5 holes- that can even hit us and cause something as abstract as an imagination to be formed through electrical and chemical reactions in our brains? A source for that which is outside our senses must exist, I call this source god.
@Budney420 Okay, that's fine, but why would you need to call him the God of Abraham and have him influence your political and daily routines and waste so many hours worshipping that. If you've thought this deeply about it, then you realize the lack of evidence for the Bible, at least. What would be the point of exalting the "unexplained outside force" as apposed to the God of western civilization? Why wouldn't that unexplained force be Thor, or as Dawkins said, the Great Juju in the Sky?
@amanatee You wouldn't, peoples ideas of what god actually is, to me, is greatly skewed by those who have recreated the bible to have it say their own words. My god is not the god of Abraham. My god is not the god of the bible or any established religion. I have realized my god in its true form and by doing this, have realized that I myself, within my consciousness, am god. We are not something separate.
"a source for that which is outside our senses must exist"
the same source as those which we CAN exist; nature.
we cannot directly detect UV or x-rays, and many different forms of radiation, but they're all radiated the same way; naturally.
of course you rightly say there are things we have never detected or sensed, but why assume they are any less natural than the things we can and do detect/sense?
please read my comments again, this time observing that when I say "natural," I mean "NOT SUPERnatural," as by far the most common concept of god is; a seperate, self conscious, supernatural entity.
If you concede god only exists in your mind, then we're in agreement.
@gavsmith1980 All things are natural, all things originate from the observer. Without the observer there is nothing. The observer creates interpretation of its reality, creates opinion then justifies it based upon things it has observed in the past. Reality is subjective.
the universe in it's entirety exists whether something sentient can experience parts of it or not.
this is a philosophical quandry on par with schrodinger's cat, or the tree making noise if no one is there to hear it.
in the fundamentally microscopic aspects of reality, yes, things require an observer to observe them, before interpreting the reality of the situation.
@gavsmith1980 If at the most basic level an observer is required for existence, then an observer is required for existence. If at the most basic level time does not exist, then time does not exist. It's the fundamentals that really count, so we're left with the question "Why do we observe? And what does it mean to us?" At a macroscopic level its all well and good that things exist -to us-, but if no thing ever saw it, it only could have existed, it never has.
Strange, I've had the same theory about ghosts, poltergeists and other paranormal entities!
I've had the idea that if a human being or an animal passes away and many people have a strong, vivid memory of the beings past life, than they can come back physically fragmented and seldom visible. The visibility factor is due to the mind conceiving something that is not completely whole to begin with. They don't know every single detail about the entity, so they can not make it complete like it was.
no one knows enough to say that's impossible, but I can find plenty of psychologists who would say that it's vastly more probable that ghosts are our tendancy to add percieved detail to otherwise inanimate surroundings.
it's natural to assume the presence of another being when something startles you or something you cant explain happens.
it's a MUCH greater survival trait to assume that someone or something IS there, than not to, regardless of whether something really is.
@gavsmith1980 But what about multiple people having the same experience? Would that mean each one of them has a synchronized misinterpretation of the same stimuli? I understand there are many people that suffer from schizophrenia and overactive imaginations, but I do not believe every ghost story is false. Ghosts and demons could very well possibly be alien or natural lifeforms that we are unable to communicate with. Religions could be misinterpretations of this, or they could be correct.
we`re 3 dimensional beings with 2 dimensional shadows which is as much as we can perceive whilst we might be 3 dimensional shadows of 4 dimensional hyper-beings. we can only imagine, but sadly never get there.
mind is as powerful and vast as the universe that whatever we thought of and dreamt of, defying all laws of physics as we know of, might actually be a reality somewhere far far away we`ll never reach or know about.
Black holes do have an incredible amount of mass, but it's not packed into a 'small ball.' That 'small ball' is really a gravitational singularity that has an infinite density and zero volume, which means it has mass and occupies no space, which is where the 3d "hole" analogy fits better than the "small ball" theory.
The event horizon (or "visible" part) of a black hole is not the black hole itself, but only a product of its gravity.
Also, your theory is known as the Big Crunch theory :)
A black hole is neither a hole nor a ball, it's a point with no length/width/depth (1D). Unless it rotates, then it's a circle, with no thickness or depth, just circumference (2D)
Yes, they have matter, but they're still considered holes (three dimensional, not two) because they have no volume and a virtually infinite escape velocity. I suck at explaining things, so look up how gravity affects spacetime and it should make more sense.
normalperson - grow up. Acting like the youtube troll isn't a good way to prove a point unless you don't want people to give a crap what you say.
i think u need to read more about black holes , u are swearing and acting like a child talking about black holes , but u dont even know how they work ...
and u say they violate conservation of matter ....are u fucking retarded? no scientist in the world ever said matter is destroyed by black holes ..
and radiation is made from the same particles matter is ....
u can turn matter into energy (or radiation) so matter can be transformed , not believe me look at hiroshima.
the idea that a black hole is a "hole" just shows that u know nothing about them
u can not see a black hole but u can proove its there by its gravitational pull ..
its simply alot of mass in 1 point , and because there is so much mass there the space time is curved so much its called an "infinite curvature" cus the black hole literally "shrinks" forever into sizes smaller than the plank lenght ...this doesnt violate any physics principles at all ..
Listen. Nobody knows if they collapse. Again. Don't be such aknow it all. You dont and i dont but at least im aware of it. Scientists have never viewed a black hole collapsing. All that was was a theory thrown out there by that doucher in a wheelchair. Mr. hawking.
Black "holes" break too many laws of the universe to exist. All these are are fuzzballs. Giant balls of strings. Black holes use such unimaginable terms as infinity for gravity and zero for density. But with fuzzballs you can actually calculate densitiy. But how would anybody know? Nobody has seen a black hole in person.
black holes themselves dont actually violate any laws ..
even elementary particles wich are called point particles or 0 dimensional , but quantum mechanics do have a size
the singularity at the core of a black hole is called a singilarity cus its 1 point , but at thoose scales, human concepts like size and shape or texture have no place ...
and string theory is still very much in its infancy ...

It's not my field, but I find Carl so interesting. If you can convince me to question this vid then I will, but all you have done so far is make incoherent assertions. Care to explain yourself by directing me to a link or something?

@Pigroota I am on about the progress physics has made since this was filmed. Just go to Wikipedia and look for "boomerang experiment" (very interesting stuff, please do). This experiment taught us that the universe does not in fact 'curve into itself' as Sagan demonstrated in the video. Carl Sagan has made invaluable contributions to science, and I respect him a lot. But unlike religion, science moves on and when new facts are discovered, our insights have to change This is one of those facts.

@yuri35435 People also tried to achieve flight thousands of years ago, but it was only until recently we've had the power to do it. Tell the greatest scientists back then what a propeller is or what a combustion engine is, and they would likely deduce it as gibberish. Then try to explain to them the complexities of a turbine engine, or rockets, which can shoot us to other celestial bodies. Sure we cant imagine a way to use wormholes right now, but its only a matter of time.

although he studied the stars and the ways of the universe, he was forever puzzled by HOW it all started and began believing in higher beings, though not in the same way as many people today.

If the "Big Bang" was about 14 Billion years ago, that is the age of our Universe. How do we know if there are several Billion Universes Trillions of light years away? There light wouldn't reach our known Universe until many Billions of years after it has vaporized into "nothingness". What if there has been a series of "Big Bangs" over the last 5 Trillion years that have long created, expanded and faded away Billions of Universes? Human mind cannot fathom infinity or eternity...

Geometry of Universe. The problem with a closed box, without an outside, is the heat has nowhere to go, thus we should be surrounded by rising heat (it is still quanta of energy) and light as bright as our Sun. Therefore, are we in some kind of curved Universe that folds back into itself, or is it infinite in all dimensions? One has us dying in a cosmic heat up and the other dying in a cosmic cool down. If curved, then what shape is it? Like a Klein bottle?

@StonedTooth agreed, and:
I believe we are 4D consciousnesses bound to a 3D body. And when we die our 4D "spirit" transcends back to the 4th dimension.
This i believe also explains why dying people might have out-of-body experiences, observing everything in the room as if they were levitating "above" it.
Paranormal people (as far as paranormal might go) might then be people not as firmly anchored to their 3D bodies.
All pure speculation though.

I personally think ghosts are the same thing as gods or imaginary friends; concepts of (meaning conceived in) the human mind.
some people are convinced they hear jesus' voice, some believe their imaginary friend is real, ghosts are probably no different - convincing to the observer but merely the misinterpretation of stimulus; imagined or experienced.

@gavsmith1980 Stimulus created by what? What is on the outside of our senses -outside of the box with 5 holes- that can even hit us and cause something as abstract as an imagination to be formed through electrical and chemical reactions in our brains? A source for that which is outside our senses must exist, I call this source god.

Why wouldn't that unexplained force be Thor, or as Dawkins said, the Great Juju in the Sky?

the same source as those which we CAN exist; nature.
we cannot directly detect UV or x-rays, and many different forms of radiation, but they're all radiated the same way; naturally.
of course you rightly say there are things we have never detected or sensed, but why assume they are any less natural than the things we can and do detect/sense?

I have never said, nor implied such a thing.
please read my comments again, this time observing that when I say "natural," I mean "NOT SUPERnatural," as by far the most common concept of god is; a seperate, self conscious, supernatural entity.
If you concede god only exists in your mind, then we're in agreement.
gavsmith1980 1 year ago
@gavsmith1980 All things are natural, all things originate from the observer. Without the observer there is nothing. The observer creates interpretation of its reality, creates opinion then justifies it based upon things it has observed in the past. Reality is subjective.

@Budney420
"without the observer there is nothing"
rubbish.
the universe in it's entirety exists whether something sentient can experience parts of it or not.
this is a philosophical quandry on par with schrodinger's cat, or the tree making noise if no one is there to hear it.
in the fundamentally microscopic aspects of reality, yes, things require an observer to observe them, before interpreting the reality of the situation.
our macroscopic environment does not.
it is real, observed or not.
gavsmith1980 10 months ago
@gavsmith1980 If at the most basic level an observer is required for existence, then an observer is required for existence. If at the most basic level time does not exist, then time does not exist. It's the fundamentals that really count, so we're left with the question "Why do we observe? And what does it mean to us?" At a macroscopic level its all well and good that things exist -to us-, but if no thing ever saw it, it only could have existed, it never has.

Strange, I've had the same theory about ghosts, poltergeists and other paranormal entities!
I've had the idea that if a human being or an animal passes away and many people have a strong, vivid memory of the beings past life, than they can come back physically fragmented and seldom visible. The visibility factor is due to the mind conceiving something that is not completely whole to begin with. They don't know every single detail about the entity, so they can not make it complete like it was.

no one knows enough to say that's impossible, but I can find plenty of psychologists who would say that it's vastly more probable that ghosts are our tendancy to add percieved detail to otherwise inanimate surroundings.
it's natural to assume the presence of another being when something startles you or something you cant explain happens.
it's a MUCH greater survival trait to assume that someone or something IS there, than not to, regardless of whether something really is.

@gavsmith1980 But what about multiple people having the same experience? Would that mean each one of them has a synchronized misinterpretation of the same stimuli? I understand there are many people that suffer from schizophrenia and overactive imaginations, but I do not believe every ghost story is false. Ghosts and demons could very well possibly be alien or natural lifeforms that we are unable to communicate with. Religions could be misinterpretations of this, or they could be correct.

charliebell01 2 years ago
Black holes do have an incredible amount of mass, but it's not packed into a 'small ball.' That 'small ball' is really a gravitational singularity that has an infinite density and zero volume, which means it has mass and occupies no space, which is where the 3d "hole" analogy fits better than the "small ball" theory.
The event horizon (or "visible" part) of a black hole is not the black hole itself, but only a product of its gravity.
Also, your theory is known as the Big Crunch theory :)

A black hole is neither a hole nor a ball, it's a point with no length/width/depth (1D). Unless it rotates, then it's a circle, with no thickness or depth, just circumference (2D)

Yes, they have matter, but they're still considered holes (three dimensional, not two) because they have no volume and a virtually infinite escape velocity. I suck at explaining things, so look up how gravity affects spacetime and it should make more sense.

the idea that a black hole is a "hole" just shows that u know nothing about them
u can not see a black hole but u can proove its there by its gravitational pull ..
its simply alot of mass in 1 point , and because there is so much mass there the space time is curved so much its called an "infinite curvature" cus the black hole literally "shrinks" forever into sizes smaller than the plank lenght ...this doesnt violate any physics principles at all ..
sidewaysfcs0718 2 years ago
and black holes do "collapse"
they actually evaporate ...if a black hole doesnt have any near by matter to suck in , it slowly dissapears and at the end has a small explosion ...
what really happens is it boosts virtual particles near it into real particle loosing energy, and therefore loosing mass ..
so a black hole can dissapear if it doesnt suck in matter ....and micro black holes act the same way..

Listen. Nobody knows if they collapse. Again. Don't be such aknow it all. You dont and i dont but at least im aware of it. Scientists have never viewed a black hole collapsing. All that was was a theory thrown out there by that doucher in a wheelchair. Mr. hawking.

Black "holes" break too many laws of the universe to exist. All these are are fuzzballs. Giant balls of strings. Black holes use such unimaginable terms as infinity for gravity and zero for density. But with fuzzballs you can actually calculate densitiy. But how would anybody know? Nobody has seen a black hole in person.

even elementary particles wich are called point particles or 0 dimensional , but quantum mechanics do have a size
