  • i just have one question. If the gear you use to detect these lines of univers has a border of distance it can travel. It does not mean the univers is round. Only what kind of gear you used to messure with.

  • Maybe instead of a Big Bang, it was a Big Divide? :]

  • @Nez949 hmmmm i like how you think

  • so the entire universe looks like a spiral galaxy? what's the center?

  • IF WE HAD A BIG ENOUGH TELESCOPE WITH BIG ENOUGH MIRRORS COULD WE SEE BACK TO THE SO CALLED START???

  • @MrCeltic76 no.

  • AND IM SURE THIS GUY WAS AROUND A FEW BILLION YRS AGO...HE KNOW IT ALLLLL..OR SEEMS TO

  • @MrMilfhunter2003 yes it was him, me, Doc, and Marty who traveled back in time in DeLorean

  • What if there are Billions of other Universes that are hundreds of Trillions of Light Years Away? Their light won't even reach us until we are a "dead" Universe of cold floating atoms in the void of space. Now THAT is far. Kinda hard to comprehend, but why would it be impossible? It is quite possible, but we would never know it...

  • @randy95023 MIND=BLOWN

  • @babypappa 4 x 4 = 12

  • @josh218 and thats why ur going to hell and bad things happen to you. Hello everythings a scam if u haven't realized it. Our morals are founded in religion how can u insult it. People do not appreciate what it has given us. The church (if you have ever gone to one) don't "scam" people out of money they ask if u want to give from the good of your heart and they then use that money to give food/shelter/safety/hope to the homeless or people in need. Religion does more than you know. Don't start ta

  • i really wish i listen to what that girl was saying

  • Sorry, I don't get it. Isn't the red stripe the milky way which sends more heat our way because it's closer? Or is the heat map unrelated to local effects? How so?

  • @sighmoon it takes a image in infrared of its whole surroundings.

  • im high as a mofo

  • universe is electron :)

  • LOL,HEY ILL GO TO ONE OF YOUR STAR TREK CONVENTIONS IF YOU GO TO CHURCH WITH ME,THEN YOULL SEE THE LIGHT!

  • how come you guys never talk about who really created the universe,GOD!THE ALLMIGHTY HOLY SPRIT HIMSELF,so you want me to believe in your big bang theory!did you know if the earth was one mile away from the sun we would freeze to death,one mile closer and well all burn to a crisp,so keep looking for your false science and AND BIG BANG THEORY ,just remeber how perfect and in place everthing is,JESUS IS LORD!

  • @bigset1959a well those facts you mentioned are completley wrong. do you have any idea how insignificant the earth is compared to the universe, if the earth disappeared right now it would change nothing in the grand scheme of things, you really think the whole univere, 78 billion light years across was made just for us? get a grip man and get an education before you start poisioning peoples ability to think for themselves with religion.

  • @josh218 so i see that the mere thought of christianty has upset you and not my lack of education,what you are imposing on me and the whole of followers is that we just poped out of thin air!yes the universe was made just for us,that is what god wanted,who else so devine could create such a wonderful and vast world, please no more insults.i will pray for you and may god be with you

  • @bigset1959a not just christianity, every religion! The idea of a creator makes everything harder to explain, the creator must also have a creator. i just dont understand how you can blindly beleive something which you have no reason to do so other than an old book that was written by people who didnt understand why it rains or what thunder and lighting is. religion is a scam that takes in billions in tax free money from people like you! please think about it

  • @josh218 its called faith

  • @bigset1959a i have faith in zeus, dosnt make him any more real. what you call faith a psychoanalysis would call delusion

  • @josh218

    Great!

    =religion is a scam that takes in billions in tax free money from people like you! =

    Takes in free tax money from atheists like you and me, THAT's the injustice!

  • @mphello i know yeh, we pay billions to keep a fucking fairytale beleiveable, so people like the wanker who i was arguing with dont cry at the thought of not going to heaven

  • @bigset1959a how dumb must a person be to believe in such fairy tales. you don't need to place such comments under videos like this, because these videos are watched by people who have a common sense..

  • @technomafia123 Maybe just scared that death is infinite blackness. Either way their time is coming to an end. Hopefully one day we can burn Theists at the stake! :)

  • So, the blue stuff is farthest away? Pardon for the naive question, but I'd like to know, thanks.

  • great video thank you for sharing the knowledge.

  • I can't help but wonder how the universe could have been 3000 degrees Kelvin in any point in time. Heat requires oxygen to be conducted, and there is very little of that in space. This would imply that there were very large masses of oxygen in space before, thus, if it weren't so dang hot, animals could have lived in space, despite just drifting. Or do I have a misconception of heat-oxygen relations going on here?

  • @Gwunty Uhm, yes, there is a misunderstanding here. Oxygen is not required for heat. The only thing required for heat is the vibration of molecules and atoms. I think you are relating what fire requires, but heat and fire are vastly different things. Since there was an unbelievable amount of energy released at the moment of the big bang, the energy heated the newly formed matter to ridiculous temperatures. The result is primitive matter, probably hydrogen, vibrating very quickly. No oxygen.

  • There were galaxies formed before the milky way galaxy, so there could be much older solar systems in those galaxies. Life could have evolved, civilizations risen, and then become extinct before our earth was ever even formed.

  • If you think the english language is the best language in the universe, think again.

  • If there is other life somewhere in this universe, do you think they have laws?

  • @caberwacky Specify laws. Laws of physics/mathematics or laws for the subjective right and wrong?

  • @RBnGMusic both, why not :)

  • @caberwacky Well the laws of physics/mathematics are uniform across the universe. 1+1 is always equal to 2 weather you're in Milky Way or Andromeda. The way they represent the numbers however will be completely diferent from what we use. If only on Earth there are hundreds of possible representations of the number 1 imagine around the universe!

  • @RBnGMusic "1+1 is always equal to 2"

    We don't know that the laws of math and physics are uniform everywhere, we have reason to believe this is true but we don't know it.

    And in Binary 1+1=10

  • @dimbulb23 Binary is a diferent notation for 1,2,3 etc... The laws must be uniform or else we couldn't measure things that happen millions of light yrs away with our own maths... The thing is that we don't fully comprehend some natural events, therefore we have no laws for them...

  • @dimbulb23 1+1=2 (One plus one equals two). 1+1=10 (One plus one equals two). So?

  • imagine if there were other universes and something holding all the universes then there is more of those holy crap i feel weird now

  • How can the universe have an age? :s

  • 23 Flat Earthers disliked this video.

  • Strictly speaking, this is probably *not* the farthest back we can ever see. Just as far as possible with EM radiation. There should be a Cosmic Gravitational Wave Background, which could take us all the way back to the BB itself. Also, I believe, a Cosmic Neutrino Background. We just aren't close to having gravity and neutrino telescopes yet. That first 370,000 years may yet be probed.

  • The digitally ordered functions in life forms require having a Maker.

    watch?v=qZev7hb40uk

  • Your CMB map is the vesion with interference from the Milky Way, so it is not a view of the early universe. You need to show a map that has the Milky Way's influence filtered out of the model.

  • I read that we could be a hologram projected off the event horizon of a 2-D universe. Some recent cosmological data suggest this. Weird.

  • @GrayEyedWolf I was unaware that fruits were able to talk.

  • i wana hear some alien music that would be incredible

  • Being told that the universal law of speed is the speed of light. You can't go faster than that. As we are humans about 20000 yrs old, at the age of 1-2 one we learn to walk. All I'm saying that. If we put humanity as a whole. We have so much more to learn, and so much more we can achieve. We are still young. Other species out there probably are about millions of years old.

  • @AngeliqueEU our planet is doomed andromeda galaxy within the next 2.3 billion years lol.

    If that doesnt kill us the death of our sun definatly will, and there are a number of outher things that may wipe us out befor that even happens.Ultimately the only way for the "human race" to survive is is to GET OFF THIS ROCK! In truth get out of this galaxy, so why not look at the stars? As slow as our technology moves it may take a few billion years to figure it out lol .

  • it would take 100,000 years to cross our galaxy alone and thats moving at light speed. Even if there was like the chance of us or them seeing each other is pretty slim. Just because "life" is there doesnt mean its intelligent or more evolved then us. Im pretty sure with the rediculus number of galaxies and stars and planets there are many forms of life.

  • So if we would be able to use all the SMART guys and girls who are now looking out from planet earth ... we could solve our problems here on earth?

    Stop looking at other planets ... SAVE OUR OWN.

  • @AngeliqueEU Why would we want to stop looking at other planets, in what way does that benefit us? How will cosmologists and astronomers save the Earth by ceasing to look at other planets? I'm sure you meant well, but your post makes little sense.

  • @AngeliqueEU Sad to say that maybe the answer that is needed to save our own, will be found "Out There". The moment that we connect with other life, the insane religious wars will stop. The "my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend" crap might just stop once and for all.

  • It could be like the transformers "Humans are a primitive race, they have much to learn". There are so many possibilities that we can't even fathom. There could be trillions of other species just in our milky way. They could be so advanced, with teleportation, time travel, planet colonization. The possibilities are endless! I only wish I could live to see, 1, just 1 other form of life. That is my biggest dream.

  • The farthest away we can ever see is about 14 billion light years...

  • @ damn near everyone, who misunderstood - this is cosmic background radiation, not a thermal image of the milky way.

  • This is only milky way image not the farthest image :( 0:56

  • @niko7496 no it is an image of the CMB

  • I don't get why people always think aliens will kill us and shit.. Ok so we aren't like that. Humans that have languages have common sense and aren't evil and if are so get punished. Why would Extra Terrestrials be so different..

  • @x97s First: Latinamerica's history show that when the people from Europe arrived, they pretty much started a war and conquered the place, and they weren't exactly nice with the people there. That shows how a more technological civilization can act when encounters another who doesn't have that level ot technology. Second: They might think of us like we think of animals. It's not really about thinking of aliens as evil, but that's an understanding scenario.

  • And still poor people think that all this exists without some one to take care of all this. If there was no GOD all this would have been a desaster

  • "The large red strips trace radio emission from the Milky Way, whereas the small bright spots high above the galactic plane correspond to emission from the Cosmic Microwave Background itself." -from your link. That red thing is not the Universe, it is our galactic plane and it detects more ambient heat in that area because of the greater concentration of stars near the center of our galaxy.

  • This video's title is wrong. This isn't the farthest we "can ever see." Telescopes are continually being built better and larger to absorb more and more light as time goes on so we could possibly be able to see even further back than that.

  • Comment removed

  • And not one wayward alien satellite, abandoned alien space station, lost alien space craft, alien space junk, forgotten alien radio waves or anything evincing intelligent life. But no matter because the universe is so big and the "other" humans [aliens] are way over there on the other side of the universe. [My feeble attempt at the Fermi Paradox]. (please commence flaming me at will)

  • So... this means the universe may just be a gigantic spiral ?

  • Sorry if I seem dense but I don't see how light from 47 billion light years away could even remotely be called "a picture of the universe close to the big bang." The only way that could be true is if the universe originated fully formed. There had to be something there 47 billion years ago to give off that light. And isn't the universe only 13+ billion years old? This all seems to be contradictory. This is saying There could not have been a singularity.

  • @donf48 What are you talking about? He specifically said 13.5 B, NOT 47B

  • @TheAnubisDrake OK, I thought it was obvious but here goes. A light year is the distance light travels in ----- 1 year. We have photographed galaxies 47 billion Light years away. 13.5 is a lot less than 47,

    I know, space is being inserted between objects making them further apart without them physically moving apart. Well, guess what. That is a crock and most thinking people know it.

  • @donf48 Ok, so you simply reject a well researched and and heavily reviewed theory based on the fact that you just think it's wrong? Can you show some work that suggests otherwise? Not to mention even if it were not true we would still probably be able to see more than 13.5 LY in distance as the universe is omnidirectional and we are most likely not the center of it. Also there is evidence showing that the universe may have been able to expand faster in the beginning than it can now.

  • @TheAnubisDrake Here is where I have a major problem. space cannot have intrinsic properties. By defination, space is the absence of matter. It is not something. It is nothing. Matter exists in space but space is not matter.

    I am trying to be kind here but you actually believe that by inserting nothingness between 2 material objects, or groups of objects, like Galaxies, that the distance between the two objects would be greater after the insertion, and with no directional movement change?

  • @donf48 HAHA, now I get it. You are not very well informed on recent discoveries. Space is not empty. Even a man made vacuum as perfect as we can make it is not empty. There is energy and matter constantly being generated by the void. Nature abhors a vacuum so it will fill it with particles that we know not from where they come. This is the basis for many ideas on Zero Point energy production. Space is made of something, we just don't know how to detect it or define it yet.

  • @TheAnubisDrake HAHA, you don't listen very well. I said space BY ITSELF is not matter and has no physical properties. Of course, there is matter in space. And energy is not technically matter either, although it is made of some of the same stuff. To prove my point, move some space from one point to another and see what is left behind. You didn't move anything. space is the absence of matter. That is one theory I can hang my hat on. Don't say that I said something different.

  • @donf48 I didn't tell you that you said anything. I have not quoted you once in this entire conversation.

    Also I am telling you that space IS made of something that we have yet to properly identify or define. You are just not accepting what I told you.

  • @donf48 Just as we could not detect or define forms of radiation outside of the visible wavelengths but we could detect the effects of the radiation.

    Space is full of ..... well space.

  • Hey guys guess what! Were gonna be dust someday! were also breathing in the dust of decade life forms like people.. NASTY

  • @Anthony883 Most of the dust in your home if from your own dead skin. Chew on that in your sleep. :P

  • That red line is a string.

  • i truly no what what god is

  • GORDEN FREEMAN!!!!

  • @blaby4ever Ha Ha.......great reference!

  • WHATS OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSE

  • @ez2475 Nothing.

  • does knowing this mean the universe isnt infinite and that the constant expansion of the universe means matter is actually being created? please youtubers attack my question with your mighty knowlegde...

  • @pntblnguitarists monkey boob

  • @mufcmad11 thnku sir for your mighty knowledge!!

  • @pntblnguitarists your welcome good sir

  • @pntblnguitarists Matter is not being created, but space is. Actually, nobody knows whether the universe is infinte. Scientists have made observations and calculations to determins a minimum size of the universe, but that just means that the universe is at least that large. As far as we can tell, the universe is flat, rather than curved inward or outward. Parallel lines remain parallel forever. This could mean an infinite universe, or a finite 4-D toroid (doughnut shape). Either way, no edge.

  • @pntblnguitarists If you like these videos, try also astronomycast (dot com).

  • @therealEmpyre will do =)

  • Our Galaxy alone so far from what we know has about 50 billion planets in it, I'm sure we are not the only living species in the Milky Way, not only that but the Universe alone. What if we're not the only humans in the Universe? What if there are other Humans out there?

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack

    there's a very slim chance that there are other humans in the universe. the specific events that lead to the evolution of humans on earth, causing us to be exactly as we are, is very unlikely to have occurred somewhere else in the universe.

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack My dream is to be immortal and explore the universe! Can't wait... just can't wait for the future!

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack I wanna meet another species.That would be epic!Unless they kill me.

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack well ur wrong cuz the odds of being more than one planet that can sustain life is 1 over more than the number of atoms in the universe btw dont say i dont know whatt im talking about because i got my information from reading a brief history of time by Steven Hawking in case u didnt know he is the smartest man alive when it come it astrophysics

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack then you know there will be a dumbass war :/

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack If there is other life out there it would not be human. It would be something totally different because it would have had to evolve differently. Who knows... The universe is so big. If it can happen it will happen.

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack Finally someone that thinks like me my friend

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack That is a very interesting point. Personally I don`t think we are going to find other humans out there - for no other reason than that it is earth that has caused us humans to evolve. We are a function of planet earth. But I should think it highly unlikely that the earth is the only planet on which life has come into existence.

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack I'm sure that there won't be more humans out there. Yes, there may be other hominids, but considering the fact that we evolved from different planets, meaning different environments and evolutionary catalysts, they may not be human anymore, though we may share a common ancestor. :)

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack "What if there are other Humans out there?"

    It's is very possible that there is life out there, possibly intelligent life, but humans? There weren't even humans here 1 million years ago.

    There is also a very good chance given huge distances and time involved that we may not be here or they may not be there at the same time. Given all this the chance any of us will live to see First Contact is remote.

  • @CrazyOffDaBudsack

    Your implying that we are not an original species?

    Watching ancient aliens again huh?

  • @ravenwda007 I love that show. Most of it is very far fetched, but it has a few good points... Sometimes... On occasion. ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • My 90 year old uncle has the same glasses !

  • the fact that there is an edge, even for a moment, is enough to define a shape. Imagine a light bulb turning on in a room. Fractions of a millisecond after the switch is flicked, the light has not yet emanated to all the walls of the room. The light holds spherical shape for a split moment before filling the room. Asking what is beyond the absolute edge of the universe is like asking what what was going on before time had come into existence; it can't be thought of.

  • The universe is infinite. This is a concept hard for humans to understand. We see all things as we see life, having a start and an ending. But the universe is not what we see. The universe is everything that exists. The theory that the universe started from a singularity is absurd. If this was true then the universe must have been inside some other entity (i.e. blank space?). We are also not the only living organisms in the universe. And not the smartest by far...read the news.

  • @wojtek0000 Why don't know if the universe is infinite, what if the theory of a multiverse were to be true? Then everything that ever can be contained would fit in this multiverse and nothing else, proving it is finite.

  • We can see further than that and it's because the universe is way bigger than that

  • I think you like little boys just saying

  • OK I love learning about the universe. BUT the thing that always screws me up is the big bang theory. Where did these particles come from? This just drives me insane and I guess that's why I love it so much.

  • The farest ist not the youngest. The CMB is not the image just behind the Big Bang Notice, that it must be several Billion years old. Please have a look to:

    ==> Optical Deceptions in the Unverse 2

    Martin

  • its sam lasco!!

  • I read somewhere that comparing the ENTIRE universe to the VISIBLE universe (hubble volume) is like comparing an ATOM to the visible universe. The entire universe is so large that by comparison what we can see is like an atom.

  • 0:57 there is a face I wonder what it could be

  • Thanks for the vid.

  • really how far in the universe can nasa travel can they achieve light speed?

  • @apostolisxa  yes. they can travel at light speed

  • @apostolisxa

    Not far. But we don't need to travel deep into the universe to learn the things we have learned; data from deep space--indeed, from the past itself--comes to us, here, in our little spot of existence.

  • @Authilus i wonder how this data and inteligence is useful for physics astronomers students of univercities i mean for common people that study astronomy in schools.

    i think that all the data classified or not is useful only for them not us.

  • thisis bull,god created us and earth.dumbass...

  • Comment removed

  • @rizel0 god who do u think created us ?the stupid useless boson higgs?or some particle that hasnt been discovered yet?

  • @apostolisxa Cool, story bro.. What's your point?

  • @rizel0 history and religion speaks for it self i dont need to argue and i believe nobody has to if theres a god or not.

    about the size of the universe i think that it was meant to be infinite in size and almost ageless.

  • @apostolisxa also i believe that they have given too much credit and nobel prizes for discoveries that they used to be common sense to every man.like the theory of relativity and other famous equations that a child learns them in highschool .

    its like those scientists like michi kaku are being rewarded for something that is common sense......if you understand what is my point ok otherwise you should have a reality check.

  • @apostolisxa

    apostolisxa,

    Relativity is hardly common sense--and I can assure you, there isn't a high school on this planet that teaches it in any serious depth. The fact that you would even say something so ridiculous implies to me that you have a very slight understanding of relativity yourself.

  • Finally, I always wondered how they came up with that image!! Now it is sooo clear. I can proceed to the next mystery. Thanks for the video!!

  • his voice is perfect for a space-telling experience. :)

  • I can not believe this... IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE TROPIC HERE ON EARTH, WICH IS THE MOST WARM PART WERE IT FOCUSES THE HEAT ON EARTH!!

    Does this mean that every single action of heat, radiation and other tipes of energies are repeated from the most insignificant particles to the most massive ones, such as the universe itself?!?!?

    The horror is this: In the end, it is simply a picture of empty meaningless blackness. We are alone. There is nothing else.

  • @intergalacticpenis do you honestly think that with at LEAST 10^21, that's 10 with 21 zeroes 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. If you seriously believe there is no other life out there, all I can say is...wow your retarded.

  • @Mathaius833 WHAT the fuck does that stupidity you just said has anything to do with my coment, you stupid ass motherfucker?? I never even said anything related about other life forms, you fuckin pseudo scientist!!

    You must be one of those retard who believes themselves as all-knowing, but cannot understand even the SIMPLEST OF COMENTS, fuckin asshole.

    Your coment is so out of context I cannot even put it in words, WHY IN HELL DID YOU JUST POINT SOMENTHING ABOUT OTHER LIFE FORMS?! ASSHOLE

  • @intergalacticpenis

    1) I don't think I responded to the right comment, I looked and it has nothing to do with my response.

    2) Rage much?

  • @intergalacticpenis HA!!! troll fail, nice job at being so delusional that you think Mathaius833's comment was out of context, you fucking said that "we are alone, there is nothing else." But either than that, i liked your idea about the tropic of this picture being the same as the earth's, and that that may mean that there is a sun way outside our universe and that's part of its own galaxy and even bigger universe, and possibly so on.

  • @intergalacticpenis its because that is our galaxy...

  • @supergiuovane And just who the fuck are you?? I wasn't even talking to you.

  • @intergalacticpenis So? You posted a public comment, and anybody can answer. It's called PUBLIC for this reason...

  • The universe does not end it is made up of a shape that is beyond our understanding. If someone says it does end ask them if you run into the wall of the universe what is beyond that wall. The answers is the beginning for when something ends it must then begin a new transformed like all life even black holes must end but to make something new.

  • Science #FTW

  • Thank you very much for posting this one!! Amazing, you always find top notch interestingclips my friend.

    Much respect,

    Peace always

  • Maybe, maybe not, science is an ever shifting sand. Pictures are often deceiving and a matter of perspective.

    I'm not impressed. Yes, a skeptic.

  • Think about it like this!I am That I Am!

  • as for the farthest star? that would depend on how far away the edge of the universe is. as some believe the universe to be infinite, then there would be no way to compute the figure. the farthest recorded star is approximately 25 billion light years away. that means that the light left that star 25 billion years ago, and is a factor that scientists use to predict the age of the universe itself! its all mind boggling stuff, very interesting though

  • @RustyKalashnikov dont scientists claim the universe is 14 or 15 billion years old? i might be getting confused lol

  • so is it fair to say that if we travel there in a space ship or some kind of warp hole there would be nothing there? Given the fact that we can estimate how old the universe is and determine how long stars burn

  • @AlbertInSanAntonio In 25 billion light years what will remain of our solar system? The sun, maybe not as it is now, but it should still be there, the planets or what's left of them, should still orbit the sun. That is likely what you should find if you managed to travel to such a distance place in space: not what you thought would be there, but, at the same time, not nothing at all.

  • @daexion

    Light years measure distance, not time.

  • @daexion

    Also, the sun is roughly 4 to 5 billion years old, and it is a middle aged star. This means that within 5 to 6 billion years our sun will supernovae and die, taking our solar system with it.

  • WOWWWW

  • this minute didnt seem infinite

  • We Can Ever See??? nah we will see further....unless we all live in one singularity ;O

  • Tdarnell! i still remember your amazing video "Hubble deep field"!

    Some people said you were dead! its good to see youre not.

    Thank you.

  • I would like to see them zooming in at the edge of the observable universe and make a picture of it.

    It would be completely black, but still fascinating.

  • @BlackSunSerenade If there is any edge, so far we see galaxies as far as we have been able to look into the distance. But what if the known universe is only like 0.1% of the total universe ?? or mayby even something like 0.00000001 etc etc,.. :) Im pretty sure that there will be a day we solve this question because thats what we do, we solve problems and try to find solutions and answers. I mean, there was a day we could fly, a day we got into space,... whats next ??

  • Not bad.... makes sense to me!

  • a map of the universe is nearly impossible to obtain because and object that we observe to be 10b light years away is no longer at the location we are observing it. we would be observing it where it was and how it looked 10b years ago. we can try to calculate trajectorys of where its location is now but as you can imagine it is very difficult. the most accurate mapping of the universe would most likely be everything within our own galaxy nothing more

  • the so called size of the universe is defined as just the visible universe. it is not geometric in shape cause the edge is defined as the farthest visible objects and if there was an edge you couldnt see past it do the fact that the light is curving meaning your not seeing in a straight line. so what is the universe expanding into? maybe just more empty space. why is it expanding and not just expanding its excellerating. more than likely its do to new matter be created and becoming more massive

  • a problem is that all the galaxys are moving away from eachother in all directions at super high speeds so there is more than likely objects that will never be seen do to the fact that the visible light will never reach us do to this expansion

  • @ arequipa1

    The universe has a size, but is it expanding fucking much, until it collapses (Big Rip)

    The universe is maybe 3.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.­000.000 lightyears and even more, due to the expention of the universe we can never properly measure the total size.

  • does the universe have "shape"?

  • @arequipa1 is there really such thing as a third? 33.3333333333. infinity exists in numbers and logic, but i dont think it exists spatially. personally i think black holes are hourglasses and not cones. but these are the things we may never know.

  • @randomovertone one third was originally thought up when the number system used 6 as a base number and not 10 because 6 has more factors going into it. there fore one third originally wouldn't have been represented by .3333 but rather .2 (if that makes sense).

  • @angrybaboon70 boy do i feel stupid.

  • @arequipa1 Yes, it is flat.

  • @arequipa1

    As the universe is expanding in every direction, the universe should be roughly spherical.

  • @drche420 why does WMAP and all the universe maps show it as a cylinder??

  • @1PintLasher

    I have never seen the WMAP or the Universe portray the universe as a cylinder. I own all of the universe episodes in every season and I have never heard of anything else than an expanding of the universe from a central point. Think about it, why would the universe expand in specific directions that result in a cylinder? It expands in all directions, forming a psuedo-spherical shape

  • @drche420 your right, I think i misinterpreted a couple of pics I seen
