When was it discovered that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, since it seems to me we have always thought that it was? Also when was dark matter and dark energy first suggest? I think I am too young to remember an era when we thought otherwise.
@dojokonojo Prior to this evidence it was thought that the Big Bang occurred in a kind of ballistic way, and that the attraction of gravity would be found to be slowing the expansion. They were attempting to measure the slowing, but instead they found a speeding up.
The observations prompted cosmologists to invent Dark Energy to explain the apparent acceleration, around 1999.
Dark matter was first observed in the 1930s and taken seriously when rediscovered in the 1980s.
If it was written by man how he know that the universe is expanding from 1400 years ago????? He has no telescope or any thing to discover this miracle which u r talking about

But that's beside the point, this is not a religious video so get your shitty propaganda out of here. I mean really, how many converts you think you're going to find watching hardcore science videos?
If everything is moving faster and faster with greater distance we only know how fast something is going how ever long it took light to get there and back to us and since they keep getting faster with no slowing then how do we know if they arent already moving faster than the speed of light or possibly even more of the universe is moving faster than the speed of light and we dont know its there

Or maybe you just get your science news from "Fox" where they alternately report random preliminary findings as fact, and then report that is was wrong the next day.

Would it not be supremely frustrating if it turns out that the Final Answer derived from the Ultimate Unified Formula depends on something absolutely arbitrary, like how you felt about that morning's first cup of coffee?! It may eventually be discovered that the "dark matter/energy" in fact /does/ exist (everywhere) - and even though it may be interacted with - its effects can only ever be observed, never predicted...not due to lack of tools/intellect, but simply due to The Ultimate Uncertainty
The 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics # What was before: egg or chicken? Oh, I know this question is very old and does not have answer Therefore I will ask a simpler question: What was before: ‘ big bang’ or vacuum? # What is our intellect ? We can see this practically : after ‘ big bang‘ all Galaxies run away from us # Dark Energy may be Vacuum: ww eurekalert. org / pub releases /2007 – 01 uoc – dem 011607.php
@socratus1 You're confusing 'vacuum' with 'vacuum energy'. The 'cosmological constant' of General Relativity. It's turned out to be non-zero. The puzzle is not that it exists. But how it can be non-zero but so small. It was expected to have a much larger value if some symmetry did not force a value of 0. There is no "what came first" question here. Learn a little science before trying to ask "deep" questions. I notice that you've spammed your post, verbatim, to every Nobel prize thread in sight.
@sbergman27 It ( cosmological constant) was expected to have a much larger value. / sbergman27 /
But the expectation was fallen down.
The fact is:
The detected material mass of the Universe
( the cosmological constant / the critical density of Uuniverse) is so small (the average density of all substance in the
Universe is approximately p=10^-30 g/sm^3 ) that it cannot ‘close’ the Universe into sphere and therefore our Universe as whole must be ‘open’, endless
@TheRealLaugh99 Into Nothing, As far as I understand it the point of the big bang is that it explains how time, space and matter came to exist; and as such space only exist within the boundaries of the universe and beyond this is nothing in the most absolute sense of the word. That's my understanding of it I could be wrong so someone could correct me.
@advers1078 That was a very careless use of the word how from me, rather the big bang theory explains how the universe as we know it can be tracked back to the point of origin which we refer to as the singularity due to the laws of physics breaking down at that point. expanding into my use of the word nothing, neither space, time or matter exists beyond the universe.
@advers1078 Quantum Physics talks of other universes , What if there is more stuff out there than we can ever imagine ? What if there are other universes ? There could be a lot , As they say , the only way to measure something that far is through is luminosity ,What if there are something much more further away so far away that its light has yet to reach us , or might be blocked cause of something ..... But yeah , this is very interesting that the universe expanding faster .....
@djay00009 Not Quantum Physics but rather the Multiverse hypothesis, which solves the problem of explaining the constant and stable nature of the laws of physics we observe; to me people to often take it as a Theory which it is not, it's a hypothesis, yet to be proven and without a evidential bases as of yet, where as the big bang theory has a solid evidential bases and from it beyond universe exists nothing in the most absolute sense, its a nice concept for deep thought but its not proven.
@advers1078 true , I agree with that , only the big bang has real evidence , but in other words , just look at the way the scientists here are addressing this discovery , Its more like a surprise to them .
The universe is really hard to study , I truly acknowledge these people for what they are doing . This is most unstable branch of science at present .
@TheRealLaugh99 there may be other universes ..... God knows , Space is just too hard to research ,I think even for the whole mankind and our best scientist XD
I've always been interested in physics and astronomy especially, but have pretty much no knowledge base on the matter. So these videos have been so enjoyable and educational to watch. I've watched through all of them just to learn more. I eagerly await each weekly upload. Thanks Brady!
00:40 Well, that;s the thing about the Nobel prize. They have to wait long enough to make sure that the science is really settled before awarding it. So by the time it does get awarded, the people in the know can only yawn over it. We've known about the acceleration of our Universe's expansion for 13 years now.
The oldsters can get excited because their contemporaries did the work. But the youngsters grew up knowing it.
It was thought that the universe was deccelerating but now it's seems that it's accelerating. Something comes into my mind, can it be that the acceleration of the universe is not linear but in an oscillatory way which will stabilize at a certain time ending up for the universe to stop expanding?
@darrenhello2 No. There is no reason to think that the acceleration is oscillatory. Deceleration was the simplest assumption based upon General relativity. We assumed that the Cosmological Constant (the energy density of space itself) was zero. There was never any particular reason to think it had to be zero. What the 1998 experiments did was to measure it. And it turned out to have a small but non-zero value. There is no particular reason to expect it to change with time.
@n310up your quote makes no mention of acceleration. What are you talking about? Saying someing is has a vast extent, just means it is very very large. Our universe is more than just large, it is forever growing in size.
@n310up As DeeOakster says because that quote makes no reference to acceleration or expansion of any kind it could just as well be, and probably more accurately be, applied to verify the truth of a steady state universe. In which case it would be wrong.
No one cant take the credit away from the scientists, the whole world testify for their intellegence, but dont you think that the credit should be given to the one who introduced the same fact more than 1400 years ago?
@muntheraqel The best part is that: It didn't! :D No matter how much you religious people think we're buying into that, we know better. Twisting a religious text into current science in order to say "See, our book said it all along" is the worst kind of deceit, both of yourself and others I see nowadays. You should be ashamed.
Man don't think I want to show off, it's just you who take benefit, and i don't see the problem into showing people that the Quran contains hundreds of scientific proofs.
It's obvious for many people that religion is subjective and about faith but the odd thing is that the Quran is about both faith and proof.
@muntheraqel It's not of any more "proof" than other religions. :) I think time has shown quite clearly that religions or cults believing in a deity of some sorts cannot find proof for their deity.
Well, i found them, because according to Quran paying charity is obligatory and is one of the five basic pillars, the word "charity" was mentioned more than 33 times, and what you see of hunger in the world is because of the capitalism which leads to the unjust distribution of resources, don't you see the demonstrations in the US and what they demand. Sudan was a country known for being (The World's Breadbasket) and see what happened after the foreign intervention
BS. Charity doesn't make it rain where there is none. Charity doesn't prevent disasters from destroying crops.
Taking credit for the work of others makes you a crook - nothing more.
Care to try again?
Open your magic book and find the cure for all cancers and find how to harness unlimited free energy.
You know the second anyone comes up with anything new, you and your mythers find verses to fit a 'prediction' I can do the same with Mark Twain. Prove it by doing it first or STFU.
Again we don't take the credit, and there's no need for it.
First, you mentioned the word HUNGER not disasters and charity(= money, food,etc) solves the problem instead of what western companies do when they throw the Wheat into the ocean so that its price wont decrease instead of giving it to the hungry ppl.
@muntheraqel NO, charity does NOT solve the problem of WORLD hunger. It might solve your neighbors hunger for a day, unless you too have no food, then you're both fucked.
Look, you idiot mythers claim that your book is a book of SCIENCE, and you come on to sites/pages like this trying to convince people that you're not just a bunch of losers who believe in fairy tales.
Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]. 30:41. Didn't you hear about the greenhouse effect and about the disaster being doubled since 2007 and all of the because the obscene consumption of resources of the earth. the solution is to "return [to righteousness]"
Ok, where in that quote is the mention of the greenhouse effect? Not in there? Then WHY are you lying and saying that it is. Where is the mention of carbon dioxide? Where is the discussion of fossil fuels?
That's some pathetic book of science you've got there.
You clearly don't know what science is, and I'm tired of giving you a forum for your stupid delusions.
From now on, when you post your garbage to a page like this, I just mark it as spam and move along. No more comments.
Well, if you claim I don't know what science is then you probably have no clue about what being honest is, where in my comment did I say that the Quran mentioned greenhouse effect?? i qouted the vers which talked about disasters being increased because of our actions!! then i ended it and then wrote that the greenhouse effect is a result of that. Don't act to be the wise by telling lies and fabricating.
@muntheraqel Please take your copy of the Qu'ran and shove it up your ass. We care about evidence and science here, and are not interested in your superstitious beliefs.
why is everybody so crazy about evidences?...the thing is all the evidence or science you worship is valid on specific conditions and circumstances and they are not the absolute TRUTH.
@bhngat People are not "crazy about evidences". And I do not know anyone who "worships" science. Clearly, the scientific method is the most effective way of sorting the chaff from the wheat.
"specific conditions and circumstances "
Well, yeah. "Specific conditions" being the real world we live in. If you have some personal imaginary world that you like, then you are free to imagine that they don't apply there. (Just don't forget to pay your rent on the 1st.)
...and don't think that we are just waiting for the science to prove these facts, these facts were known not just for muslim scientists but also for ordinary people, for example quran talked about the movment of earth, sun and moon clearly: "All (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course.", (21:33)
@IntoxicatedHumans No they deserve the awards and I congratule them immensly. But you cannot deny the follow verses that we received 1433 years ago without any microscopes
Quran Chapter 51 Verse 47 "And the heaven, We built it with might, and we a still EXPANDING it "
Quran Chapter 55 Verse 37 "And when the heaven is split and becomes rose-colored like oil" ...Perhaps this is referring to the 2nd min of this clip...
@nonbutone Those verses does not imply knowledge of an expanding universe. There has been supernovas that has been visible with the naked eye thus the second quote of yours. Also: The first quote, fair enough, expanding. What about the part of "We built it with might"? We didn't create the cosmos. Well then you might say it's referring to the research in it? It's only twisting something in order to make up for the otherwise huge lack of predictions and evidences religious texts provides.
@IntoxicatedHumans We created it in might/We constructed with strength. Im not sure what you mean "We didn't create the Cosmos? I know we didn't, the Creator of All did
I don't believe we are twisting this to suit this discovery, when we mentioned this many years back people were saying No that silly the earth is not expanding
You see it could be You that is trying to deny the verse could possibly be true. This is just one of many scientific statements in the quran, I invite you to read

So when we discover the non-supernatural cause of this it will conclusively disprove your religion then, right?
"split and becomes rose-colored like oil"
Perhaps it is referring to man-made, false-color-enhanced images of supernovae, or perhaps it is just a camel herder talking completely out of his ass. But if god was going to add "proofs" of his existence through science, why didn't he for instance tell us that the expansion rate is 70.8 (km/s)/Mpc?
i assumed that for figuring out the expansion rate, they would first use supernovas as a distance measurement, but then look at the redshift! Now this video seems to indicate that they only looked at brightness, not redshift. now i really wonder how they arrived at a velocity, let alone a change in velocity. how is that done by just looking at brightness? this confuses me, i assumed redshift to be a big part of it. does someone know more?
@kurtilein3 red shift can only give the velocity when it was measured (back when the light was sent out), the absolute brightness can give an instantaneous measurement of distance which is based onpast accelerations which might not be the same we measure today from red-shift.
the light used to measure the brightness is the same that is used to measure the redshift, same distance in space and time.
and in physics, we can do extremely precise measurements when it comes to frequency, staggeringly precise, lots of digits to be obtained. if a star moves at the speed of a crawling baby towards us or away from us, 20 cm per second, thats about the limit of what we can detect in redshift. we cannot measure brightness that precisely, not by a large margin.
@kurtilein3 Didn't these guys just win the Nobel prize for measuring the absolute brightness? That's what I understood from the video and from the news reports
I have just read in Carl Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot, that we could use our sun's gravitational lensing at a distance of 550 AU to "resolve a continent at the distance of the nearest star and the inner Solar System at the distance of the nearest spiral galaxy." It is quite fascinating and I think makes a great subject for a Sixty Symbols video :)
@CorneCap yeah, yeah, go and stone a few apostates or whatever it is your magnificent religion dictates. Now STFU and leave the grownups to talk in peace (something you lot know nothing about)
another super video. I feel bad though that I forget everyone's names. might it be good to put them in to all the videos? that way new people will also know who's talking. keep up the great work. this and periodic videos help get me through the week!
I think the reason the universe expansion is happening is because the gravity between stars, planets, and galaxies isn't able to hold everything together, so the farther away the galaxies are from each other, the less gravity holding them closer together. And since the things in the universe are always moving, there's even less gravity. So the farther apart, the less there is holding it together, which in turn makes it expand even more, making the expansion speed up.
That Atlas of Creation book on the shelf there, if you open it up it's a picture of Terry Gilliam's god, a picture of a big finger, then loads of pictures of stuff revolving around the earth. Probably. Then we could send out for some pillars.. and Cecil B. DeMille.. and we could die.. happily... ever after.
Just wondering: is it possible that matter is contracting while the universe is expanding? This might create the appearance of an accelerating universe, I think.
Scientist have speculated about the universe, and the expansion of it. There seems to be a few theories out there. One I heard was that it takes a certain speed to escape gravity. If the big bang sent everything out at the speed necessary to escapes it's own gravity, then it is thought that it will continue to expand until all the energy is spent. If not, it would collapse back in on itself. How does this news change the thoughts on that?
I love Sixty Symbols. Im not nearly as bright as anyone on this show but I am continuously blown away by the amount of information in the videos. Very educational, thank you and keep it up!
It seems all of the speakers have difficulty pronouncing (or distinguishing) Supernova, the singular, and Supernovae, the plural. I noticed this last video too.
Heard the prof and the bottle of whiskey tale on BBC Radio Nottingham earlier. Tuned in while I was in my car as there was crap on the other stations and thought "I know that voice!"

@advers1078 Quantum Physics talks of other universes , What if there is more stuff out there than we can ever imagine ? What if there are other universes ? There could be a lot , As they say , the only way to measure something that far is through is luminosity ,What if there are something much more further away so far away that its light has yet to reach us , or might be blocked cause of something ..... But yeah , this is very interesting that the universe expanding faster .....

@djay00009 Not Quantum Physics but rather the Multiverse hypothesis, which solves the problem of explaining the constant and stable nature of the laws of physics we observe; to me people to often take it as a Theory which it is not, it's a hypothesis, yet to be proven and without a evidential bases as of yet, where as the big bang theory has a solid evidential bases and from it beyond universe exists nothing in the most absolute sense, its a nice concept for deep thought but its not proven.

@advers1078 true , I agree with that , only the big bang has real evidence , but in other words , just look at the way the scientists here are addressing this discovery , Its more like a surprise to them .

00:40 Well, that;s the thing about the Nobel prize. They have to wait long enough to make sure that the science is really settled before awarding it. So by the time it does get awarded, the people in the know can only yawn over it. We've known about the acceleration of our Universe's expansion for 13 years now.
The oldsters can get excited because their contemporaries did the work. But the youngsters grew up knowing it.

It was thought that the universe was deccelerating but now it's seems that it's accelerating. Something comes into my mind, can it be that the acceleration of the universe is not linear but in an oscillatory way which will stabilize at a certain time ending up for the universe to stop expanding?
darrenhello2 5 months ago
@darrenhello2 No. There is no reason to think that the acceleration is oscillatory. Deceleration was the simplest assumption based upon General relativity. We assumed that the Cosmological Constant (the energy density of space itself) was zero. There was never any particular reason to think it had to be zero. What the 1998 experiments did was to measure it. And it turned out to have a small but non-zero value. There is no particular reason to expect it to change with time.

@nonbutone Those verses does not imply knowledge of an expanding universe. There has been supernovas that has been visible with the naked eye thus the second quote of yours. Also: The first quote, fair enough, expanding. What about the part of "We built it with might"? We didn't create the cosmos. Well then you might say it's referring to the research in it? It's only twisting something in order to make up for the otherwise huge lack of predictions and evidences religious texts provides.

"split and becomes rose-colored like oil"
Perhaps it is referring to man-made, false-color-enhanced images of supernovae, or perhaps it is just a camel herder talking completely out of his ass. But if god was going to add "proofs" of his existence through science, why didn't he for instance tell us that the expansion rate is 70.8 (km/s)/Mpc?

imag1291 1 month ago
okay, now im a bit confused.
i assumed that for figuring out the expansion rate, they would first use supernovas as a distance measurement, but then look at the redshift! Now this video seems to indicate that they only looked at brightness, not redshift. now i really wonder how they arrived at a velocity, let alone a change in velocity. how is that done by just looking at brightness? this confuses me, i assumed redshift to be a big part of it. does someone know more?
kurtilein3 5 months ago
@kurtilein3 red shift can only give the velocity when it was measured (back when the light was sent out), the absolute brightness can give an instantaneous measurement of distance which is based onpast accelerations which might not be the same we measure today from red-shift.
salerio61 4 months ago
@salerio61
the light used to measure the brightness is the same that is used to measure the redshift, same distance in space and time.
and in physics, we can do extremely precise measurements when it comes to frequency, staggeringly precise, lots of digits to be obtained. if a star moves at the speed of a crawling baby towards us or away from us, 20 cm per second, thats about the limit of what we can detect in redshift. we cannot measure brightness that precisely, not by a large margin.

I think the reason the universe expansion is happening is because the gravity between stars, planets, and galaxies isn't able to hold everything together, so the farther away the galaxies are from each other, the less gravity holding them closer together. And since the things in the universe are always moving, there's even less gravity. So the farther apart, the less there is holding it together, which in turn makes it expand even more, making the expansion speed up.
Just my theory.

Scientist have speculated about the universe, and the expansion of it. There seems to be a few theories out there. One I heard was that it takes a certain speed to escape gravity. If the big bang sent everything out at the speed necessary to escapes it's own gravity, then it is thought that it will continue to expand until all the energy is spent. If not, it would collapse back in on itself. How does this news change the thoughts on that?
