NOVA (PBS) - Hunting the Edge of Space - Part 2 (2010)

[Ullbritt]

360p? really?

[anshulkamboj]

i dont believe in big bang

[anshulkamboj]

so sad i will misss other galaxies

[krapptacular]

This was very good, thank you. I was checking out the sloan survey yesterday. It's awesome the way i can look at things on the computer now. I can fly around in the sloan map in 3D and it's just sick.

[DiogenesofCalgary]

Bad news, no dark energy. Good news, dark matter. A stable universe, neither expanding or collapsing. Once you understand this you can the come up with the unified theory of which I am standing on the edge now. I'd be happy to discuss it with anyone. Before you ask any questions please look at my first two video's.

[billy1212ist]

@DiogenesofCalgary * What do you think?That there is no dark energy,just because "WE" can not find it? How ridiculous,a statement that is.With what man now understands,is by no means a given.There are always the people that "think" they know all of the answers.TheirEGO rules them.Zero is what we know.I was"pushed"by a unseen energy,out of the way of a taxi that would have killed me.I felt it.There are other dimensions that "WE" are unable to comprehend,hence to comprehend space is not possible.

[DiogenesofCalgary]

@billy1212ist No it's not the fact that you can't find it. It's more that I don't see that it will be required. If the universe is not expanding then there will be no dark energy required. There are enough contradictions to the idea of Doppler red shift to call into question it's validity for me anyway. Perhaps not for other who accept it. I believe that dark matter can also refract light going in and out of a galaxy and this will result in what appears to be red shift.

[billy1212ist]

@DiogenesofCalgary What you believe is based on exactly what?On what Man has learned about the Universe as of 2012.Man also" knew" that the earth was FLAT,based on all that he knew at one time,until he learned differently.Your beliefs,what red shift appears to be etc.are all fine.What you see and know,and surmise are again based on all that you know.What You can't find,is the one kind of dark matter that you know of.There may be 1000;s of kinds of dark matter that you just don't know about,YET.

[DiogenesofCalgary]

@billy1212ist I have to agree with you. We base theories on what we know. The theory of a flat earth is good enough if you don't go very far. It works in it's framework. Gravity as conceived by Newton seems to work pretty well for a planet. Einstein's theory of relativity seems to work well for a galaxy, however it breaks down at the level of particles. Nothing is the final answer. But we can still question things can't we?

[billy1212ist]

@DiogenesofCalgary * Question? But of course,mans curiosity and ability to create has put us in space.One final answer is: We,...mankind are made up of ATOMS,the planet Earth and everything in and on it are made up of ATOMS.All in the Universe is made up of ATOMS.So at that level, we are all connected,all ONE.My Father told me once,that a really well educated,really smart man,realizes that he really knows nothing.Also,the more you learn,the dumber you get.

[XxMastKiller14xX]

What will happend if the universe keep expanding?

[llparasitell]

@XxMastKiller14xX then u DIE.

[beeferetown]

How much longer you think it will take for the ones who believe in "god" to learn "god" is nothing but science, nature and physics? Think about it "god" was invented back when people had no clue or explanation why it rains, thunder and so on. They had no clue what the stars they seen really was. Back then their knowledge was poor and the only explanation they could come up with was "gods" that controlled nature. I feel bad for ones who believe because they are basically being brainwashed into it

[matatanXtreme]

@beeferetown trying to explain the belief in god to an atheist is like trying to explain mathematics to a dog, its something an atheist will never understand because they link their very existence with the tangible instead of linking the wonders of creation with the human soul.

[billy1212ist]

@matatanXtreme *The Vatican made $96 BILLION DOLLARS,last year.How was it spent? Religions are a way used to Rule people,always were.Now thereARE Energy's in the Universe that we can not comprehend and or see.Some call these Energy's god,and demand the people to follow their belief system or burn in hell.A punishment thought up to scare people,to make them follow.Hogwash all of it.The" believe like us or burn syndrome".One CAN believe in the unseen Energy that we are a part of,but NOT your god.

[llparasitell]

@matatanXtreme let me ask you something, can you prove god exists?

no you cant and that ends the debate.

The story of peter pan and the bible are exactly the same, the both have magic, and even better yet nobody even knows who wrote the bible meaning it has no sources.

[billy1212ist]

@beeferetown*Yet your explanation of god is based on what YOU understand Today.Which is just as feeble as theirs,only more scientific.How about WE are just not smart enough to comprehend all that the Universe is and it's dimensions that WE can NOT see,but are just as real.Some can see and feel them,most can not.Brainwashing starts at age 1.Many are too mentally cluttered to"FEEL" the Universe,that they are a part of,That they, ARE in essence.Everything is made of atoms and connected,EVERYTHING.

[zaphire150]

I have a ton of questions but the one that i have been asking myself for years already is "What was going on before the BIG BANG?"

[llparasitell]

@zaphire150 humans dont have enough technology to know yet, but there's alot of solid theory's like 11 dimensional hyperspace or gravity over expansion, if you do not know what it is, it will give you a brain fart unless you are really interested in learning this topic.

we aren't going to know for sure probably for the next few millenniums.

so if I were you I wouldn't ponder on the question. Unless you plan to become a string theorist or a theoretical physicist.

[bigglyguy]

@zaphire150 Time was created with it, so there was no "before the BB". Yes, it's a complete mindfuck but hey, don't blame me. I guess that's just as believable as "infinity"...

[ApplausableGuy]

Dude, no edge!

[hinatax24]

Wow. The fact that humans think they can comprehend or even try to find out the age of the universe is annoying. We are not that smart. All we do is hypothesize or flat out guess. I don't even believe half of this stuff. Just people looking at the stars and making up things as they go. It's annoying that this is an actual profession and taxpayers waste their money on it. Like this shit will help anyone.

:/

[billy1212ist]

@hinatax24 YOU are short sighted and foolish.Your negative type also said Man won't fly.Man is a curious animal,he seeks,looks,learns,and progresses.In 100+ years man has gone from Kitty Hawk to outer space.The next 100+ years will bring what ?The bi-products of going into space?One is what your typing on.True, man ,can not fully grasp the universe,but he can dream can't he ? Our guesses today are better than in 459 AD,right? This term"flat out" comes from where exactly?Annoyed?so don't read.

[hinatax24]

@billy1212ist How about the fact that we haven't even discovered the depths of our own planet and we're trying to find out the edge of the universe? This profession is unneeded and a waste of time. Really, how will researching a black hole help anyone? Dreaming is foolish if it does no good. I'm annoyed that I help pay for this crap. My negativity is being realistic.

[billy1212ist]

@hinatax24 #1, YES,realistic,to YOU'RE logic,or way of thinking.A team just found a lake 2 1/3 miles down in Antarctica, been drilling for 20 years,WOW ! Teams working on"Fire Ice" as fuel etc.Knowledge is not foolish,is it?A man found and made rubber,to someone like you,at the time it was foolish,and did no good at the time.Years later with tens of other foolish ideas.Somebody put them all together,and we got the automobile.Not foolish.The black hole is NOT all that is being researched,is it ?

[billy1212ist]

@hinatax24 #2,"Dreaming is foolish" you say? Well,some fool,to you anyway,had a dream in the 1930's of man in space,"Flash Gordon"(Buster Crabbe) in his Rocket Sled,dumb right?This"dream"came true,man in OuterSpace is now a reality.And all of the people who said that it was foolish,and would never happen,are the real fools.The class of people that say,"If we were suppose to fly,we'ed have wings." they'll never do it.And,"If we were suppose to stay under water for an hour,we'ed have gills"No way.

[Wertak68]

@billy1212ist My comment is really not related to the post but Buster Crabbe that is a name I have not heard in a long time. I met him in the 70's, he was my neighbor one street down, in Scottsdale, AZ. As a kid I was a little disappointed Tarzan could age.

[billy1212ist]

@Wertak68 *Google Flash Gordon,amazing 1940's film serials shown in the Movie Houses.Then full films.To see what Man dreamed in the 40's becoming reality.

[billy1212ist]

@hinatax24 #3,The bi-products,of Space Crap,TEFLON,Computers,Cell Phones,The WEB,small pocket Computers,A business card sized computer with 2000 songs on it.Pocket TV's.In Medicine,All the tiny computers that can be put into the human body,to save lives,the tiny electric Heart,saving thousands of lives,thanks to the "Space Crap".Columbus and others explored the unknown,now WE explore the unknown of Space.MAN MUST,why? Because it's there.

[awsalty]

@hinatax24 whats the point of living? you are going to die anyways and after even only 100 years no one will ever know or care you existed. my negativity is being realistic.

[ibonix1]

i thought gravity makes galaxies come close to one another forming a bigger one... am i wrong?

[funkkyzenzei]

@ibonix1

Only if the galaxies are close enough together. Like our Milkyway galaxy and our neighbour galaxy Andromeda. They will one day merge.

But space itself is expanding, therefore everything not close enough together for gravitys pull to take effect will rush away from one another.

That´s my understanding of it anyway...

[tommyov1]

take all that you hear with a grain of salt, 100 years from now astrologists will look back at us and say the same as we do about are (Galileo/Christiaan Huygens/Isaac Newton) "they were geniuses back then (2011) and got most of things the right.. but i wish they could see and know what we do now...they would have tears in there eyes...

[TheSoulDoubt]

If space, time and gravity were all essentially dimensions, the fundamental dimensions of existence, then blackholes would be like vents. Time, space and gravity all go horribly wrong in blackholes, maybe because they are like valves, releasing the pressure of space...like plugholes that space is flowing out through, hence their immense 'gravity'- dimensional reality is leaking out of them, sucking in and taking with it anything nearby from dimensional reality as it goes...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

[TheSoulDoubt]

The kind of theoretical opposite to a bubble of gas in water expanding as it rises towards the surface due to lower pressure. Imagine empty space as like water, exerting pressure upon objects in it, squeezing them and compressing them together under its weight, but unnoticeable in the absence of anything material to exert pressure on...maybe space is really 'heavy', not matter, maybe the pressure of space causes 'gravitation', not 'mass'?

[TheSoulDoubt]

95% of the universe unaccounted for as Dark Matter and Dark Energy...hmm, or as I like to call it- space. Space is expanding, speeding up, and there is not enough visible mass in the universe to account for its gravity- maybe thats because gravity is not the attractive force of matter, but the pressure of expanding space focused upon matter and as it compresses matter together, creating higher mass in smaller areas, there is less resistance to its expansion.

[PAVANZYL]

Magnificent! Three cheers for NASA and all the organisations pushing the envelope. And thanks to all the people making it possible - in no small way the taxpayers of the United states.

[jugulator0]

is time a man made invention? we measure time by the orbit of our planet around the sun.(1year)

If time is relative,( variable and changing through space) and time is a measure of movement then the speed of light may not be the constant -the movement of time is fucking with my mind

[ellylopez1]

Telescopes are time machines! I like this...

[horseofblack]

the title of this show "hunting the edge of the universe" makes me wonder, what is the edge of the universe? i was waiting for some learned person to tell us the definition of the edge o the universe. just what are they measuring?

[billy1212ist]

@horseofblack * The universe is infinite."The Edge" is as far as we can see into it.What was the Edge 100 years ago,is not as far away as 50 years ago.And that was near compared to 20 years ago,and that was close compared to 4 years ago,and 2 years ago it was 100 times farther away,and 1 year ago farther still.And now even farther still.We see deeper and deeper into it,and there is the Edge.....for now.

[horseofblack]

@billy1212ist ok, bill, you have not defined the edge of the universe either. you have stated the obvious in the observation of the photons coming from out there relative to the expansion. by implication, you define the edge as being the furthest location or distance of light emitting objects or particles. are there no cold particles that move outward from the begining beyond the light emitting particles? does the path of a photon define/cause the progression of the expansion of space

[billy1212ist]

@horseofblack *I don't know,do you? Space is a vacume ,and all of the stars/suns are moving away from a central point,outward.(Big Bang?).The "edge" would be the outer rim of the stars progression in set vacume.I think this,but KNOW this,of course not.Nobody does.A protons "path" is just that,it's path,it defines nothing,but it's own path.If first protons hit,and caused"matter",that evolved into the Big Bang,who knows? I certainly don't.do you?Our minds are our universe,in the universe,yes?no?

[srisanku86]

1) Galaxy's r travelling away from our our galaxy.

2) Galaxy's that r near to us travel less faster than galaxy's more distance.

3)Actually we r seeing galaxy's in the past much distance from us much past we r seeing

Que)This means the galaxy's far away from us , now will be moveing at the speed of the galaxyes near to us .

This says the univers is slowing down its expansion and may fall into a crunch.

But said another way.

can anybody answer my question.

[horseofblack]

@srisanku86 you have set up the conditions that i have wished to express, but let me rephrase your question. using this extremely ancient data about the red shift of the light how can you calculate the current state of the universe? this red shift light expresses the conditions (by video script) near 600,000 years after the big bang when the univers was still extremely hot, i suppose, and still expanding rapidly because of the big bang. it says the further back in time the greater expansion

[MrMounir90]

veanandjean this 'relegion of yours' is 6000 years old but the oldest documunt in history is A tiny clay fragment – dating from the 14th century B.C.E. – that was found in excavations outside Jerusalem’s Old City walls contains the oldest written document ever found in Jerusalem, say researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Do you get it....;)

[veanandjean1]

@MrMounir90 no the 12,000 year old structure has unknown writings on it. besides documents desinigrate. also this religion i was talking about doesn't have scriptures and it did not start in Jerusalem. get what?

[MrMounir90]

In the Qur'an, which was revealed fourteen centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described in the following terms:

And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur'an, 51:47)

[veanandjean1]

@MrMounir90 sure but other religions do a better job. one such religion says

"god cast a pearl into the cosmic sea and it exploded, the reminants of the explosion were the material in which the earth, stars adn planets came to be. god sent an angel to stop the earth rumbling so that it could sustain life, after that the angel went to the garden of eden to meet the first humans. the angel saw that the humans did not have souls and so blew souls into them"

this religion is 6000 years old

[rrose1978]

@veanandjean1 Sounds vaguely like Tawuse Melek of the Yezidi...

[cellofingers]

WOW! Is Kim Weaver hot or what! I should have gone into astrophysics.--I know--I know geek love--yeah so what she's gorgeous!

[cellofingers]

Give me the math! No more histories of discovery lets get down with equations!

[Jimpire1998]

@BlameRepublicans i don't agree with you...

God did everything...his son..Jesus saved the people from their behaviour..

scientits want to see what is happening in the space...

in my opinion our universe is dying...

[BlameRepublicans]

THis is all lies. We all know Jesus did it.

[midiland3]

good watch



[veanandjean1]

what's really amazing is that all these discoveries are only within our own universe. Outside the bubble of our own expanding universe there is an unknown space. It's very possible that there are other enormous exploding stars outside of our bubble similar to the big bang. I wonder if we could ever develope the technology to go past the farthest parts of the universe and go outside of it.

[tristbjorn]

@veanandjean1 big bang wasn't an exploding star.

[veanandjean1]

@tristbjorn the big bang is not an exploding star, its simply a model. No one really knows. You don't know, but I think it was a supernova. irregardless it's impossible to test because supernova exploding in our galaxie collide and have different pressures than a supernova that had nothing else around it. The pressure outside of the universe was theorized to be negative according to einstein and the math works out for negative pressure. so you can't possibly know.

[veanandjean1]

lol do you know what dark matter adn dark energy means? It makes up about 95% of matter and energy in our universe. Its just a term physicist use for unknown matter and energy. What they haven't discovered yet.

[1123joey]

@TheBlackIdentety I can imagine that to easily be a reality in the next 100 year's, the ideas being put forward and being put into practice. , etc. I can't wait for the inventions in my lifetime, I'm only 18 lol

[1123joey]

@TheBlackIdentety Indeed we shall eventually (with the aid of nano technology of course) be able to make ourselves much more smarter, of course not in mine or maybe not your lifetime.

[TheBlackIdentety]

@1123joey Well I think with the appropriate amount of money I could achieve immortality in my lifetime since I'm only 22 and from there infinite knowladge and visdom here I come. lol I'm only dreaming here though.Those kind of things will be restricted to the radically rich and locked awayy from us little people :P That is of course if we do not mannadge to stop the oligarchie from gaining total dominance.If we do then we could build a star trek like utopia in the next 500 years.

[MrMeanderthal]

@TheBlackIdentety Utopia.. the road to Heaven that ends n Hell

[TheBlackIdentety]

@MrMeanderthal It only ends in hell if we allow gready,power hungry mass murderers into power.

For example the promiss of comunism was a utopia but the way in wich they went about building it was the farthest thing away from the end result.

Have you ever seen star trek?The utopia they have is based on the replicator technolodgy.They can turn energy into food and materials.Nano technologie will bring us the same in about 200 years.Take out money and religion from the picture=utopia

[MrFelixify]

@TheBlackIdentety Money is just a simple tool for us to use to messure how much service, items or property we can get. Money is just worth something because we decided its worth anything, otherwise its just numbers or paper. My point is, greed is a human condition, take out money humans will still be greedy.

[TheBlackIdentety]

@MrFelixify They have to be raised not to be greedy.Take out money from the picture and give everyone the same amount of resources and you get a better society.

I always refer to star trek when I talk of a utopia.The model in that sci-fi is very good and given the technolodgie,proper raising of kids and the absence of money you get a society that is as close to ideal as humans can get in their current form.

I do think that these animal instincts can be erased from our DNA though.

[bigglyguy]

@TheBlackIdentety Money? Money is merely the unit of exchange of productivity; there's nothing inherently evil about it and it has driven all the GOOD stuff as much as the bad (in fact arguably more so)

[TheBlackIdentety]

@bigglyguy Good stuff? You're livin in a dream world.All the wars of the 20th century were broken out by money and power hungry bankers. Jew bankers financed Hitler in WW2. Historical facts dude.

Money isn't evil true but it brings out the darkest trait of humanity. Greed (something we inherited from our chimp ancestors,further proof of evolution)

[actracts]

If not money - it would be something else. Humans are far more like animals than we like to admit, we still fight over territorial boundaries and resources. If not for the invention of trade, barter, and currency - human society would probably still be nomadic cave dwellers. Before the mass spread of these ideas, ancient man acquired desirable resources by attacking, looting, and pillaging other human tribes - killing/chasing out another group from said territory.

[actracts]

The basics of our societal rule have not change - the Alphas (those with the means to influence the rest of the group) have the power and means to mate with the most desirable males or females, the Betas (those with Alpha traits but lacking means to influence the tribe on a larger scale) mobilize and organize to carry out the will of the Alphas, and the Omegas (the losers of society) get shit on because they lack the traits of the Betas and the Alphas.

[TheBlackIdentety]

@actracts Well said but still my oppinion in the top comment stands.If we wouldn't have money and everyone would have a nice place to live and a replicator we could have a utopia like in star trek of course for that we need high quality free educatin for all as well.

First we need to deal with the money hungry,warmongering bankers though :P

[david25luvit]

Excellent videos...Part one & two. NOVA gives us a great educational tool.

[bennykeane]

What if life exists so that the universe can experience itself?

[omnpmh108]

@bennykeane I believe you are correct, we help the universe experience itself.

[1123joey]

@omnpmh108 We are the Universe understanding itself, but I don't believe that life exists for a reason, It was most likely all by chance. Energy, matter, gravity, etc all working together and by chance we are here 13.7 billion years later. But all in all, yes I agree, WE are the Universe understanding itself, it not only sounds right, but also makes sense, more sense than someone saying that the bible is right with no evidence.

[heartlessvietboy]

What does "stationary" have to do with expanding?

[ShalomMikh]

Where did this Big-Bang happened?

What was surrounding it at the time?

Where is this so called universe of us located? Among what?

can we ever be able to look beyond the universe and see how many more universes?

and, Beyond That???

How far we can go, and how vast is it? :)

[NowKillYourself]

@ShalomMikh If you have questions, I suggest you look for answers. Stop asking people on youtube, get off your lazy ass and do the research yourself.

[papermermaid]

@ShalomMikh

Don't know. But One day we will discover it!

[TheBlackIdentety]

@ShalomMikh

1.It happened in hyperspace.

2.11 dimentional hypespace possibly betwen the collision of two other universes.

3.In hypespace among an infinite number of other universes.

4.To go beyond our univers our brain needs to evolve quite a bit.That is out of the picture for hunreds of thousands of years,maybe millions.

5.Who knows? Hyperespace might be the limit.

6.Our universe is infinite from the moment of it's begining.

All the answer you seek can be given by quantum theory.

[1123joey]

@TheBlackIdentety Thats exactly right, the very mind blowing thing is that we think we get to the limit of The Universe, and no, it just throws some more at us. I mean, first we thought are planet and sun was the limit, then the solar system, the the galaxy, then we found other galaxies and how big the universe is and now with the quantum theory, hyperspace exists outside. And yes, you make a great point, what if theres something else past hyperspace? Simply mind blowing...

[TheBlackIdentety]

@1123joey Well a branch of string theory says that every single atom in the universe contains a tiny subatomic universe so basicly no matter how big or small we go we'll always find something bigger or smaller thus evrything can be considered infinite.

Quite interesting.Our brains can't even comprehend this yet.

We'll need to radicly increase our IQ in order to further our understanding of the universe.In the future computers and humans will meld together to create a new cyborg specie.

[ShalomMikh]

@TheBlackIdentety

Thanx for your thoughtfulness!

[oopopp]

So THATS how scientist first thought of the Big Bang!!!! I'm been wondering how they came up with that idea FOREVER!!!

[beeferetown]

This makes you want to go spend 30k on a telescope.

[nbsbb2009]

What create space?

[PDattaTV]

@nbsbb2009 big bang

[shasheboy7]

Big conclusions with so little info and almost infinite numbers of stara, galaxies and space. Other than that I like these videos a lot.

[shasheboy7]

Astronomers need stop naming shit they don't kno(dark matter and energy) just like how everyone thought earth was the center of the universe. I think this will change with better technology and little more time.

[NowKillYourself]

@shasheboy7 What the fuck? "Naming shit they don't know like dark matter and energy." LOL you are an idiot.

[mashimarao]

thnx. 

[conejwsr]

But there is dark matter, and they dont know if the universe is infinite at this point, just that it is growing. It may continue growing but I dont think the concept of infinity can be understood by our primative brains.

[coolferds06]

There's no dark matter, it just a space, that's why its infinite

[orbital92hotmail]

I dont get it

[yasirnori]

4 aliens disk liked this documentary 

[schwarzfalk]

14:34 um circular reasoning, a bit? they used the cephied stars' standard luminosity to calculate distances, but how the hell did they know that these "cephied stars" all had the same luminosity to begin with? by calculating the distances? lol

heck they didn't even know what stars were made of, back then

[55metalmonkey]

@schwarzfalk [heck they didn't even know what stars were made of, back then] Back when? during Edwin Hubble's time? Sir William Huggins began spectral analysis of stars back in 1860, long before Hubble's work 1923

[schwarzfalk]

@55metalmonkey but did they know the temperatures at the surface of the stars? within the core? how it all works? did they know about the nuclear reactions that went on within the star? about fusion?

[55metalmonkey]

@schwarzfalk your statement was "heck they didn't even know what stars were made of, back then". I showed you that they had 60+ years of studying what stars were made of before Hubble came along. but since you asked

check out the work of Father Angelo Secchi. 1860-1870;

Gustav Kirchoff and Robert Bunsen 1895; Karl Schwarzschild 1906; Henry Norris Russel and Ejnar Hertzsprung, 1913 to 1917;

as for fusion, that had to wait until the 20th century discovery of nuclear dissintigration

[kentucksoldiersson]

I love Nova, but they seem to take a little bit if info and explode it into a 'product' for programs...

[suriya729]

i love kim weaver

[PatrickEngSU]

@sonjafortuna name him uranus... someone had to say it

[HiFiVibe]

47:27 are those kangaroos? wtf

[HayateAzekura]

The universe is so beautiful

[bcolemaqn16]

@HayateAzekura I'm sayin... think of all of the Great Civilizations that have came and gone.... forgotten... then think of the ones that maybe still going strong... Mindblowing. Its a beautiful universe... I just wish we were able to explore it.

[FirewolfSan]

After the Big Bang the universe is expanding on both directions and it is still doing that until today. Hence the estimated size of the universe is 93 billion light years compared to its age which is 13B light years only. Let's assume that the MW is on the farthest side of the Universe the the Hubble can see Galaxies more than 14B light years + 600 Million light years.

[FirewolfSan]

I just realize that MW cannot be on the farthest side of the Universe otherwise we are no longer hunting the edge of space

[MetalHeart8787]

"hubble sees the furthest Galaxies away after 600 Million years after the big bang"

but before that they say the universe is 13 Billion years old.

so how is it that the galaxies were seen at 600 million after? thats not even a Billion. Remember the say "the furthest away"

so theres more out there, in another documentary i watched it said it meassured our universe, HOW? is that true &then we also hear that like galaxies there could be a Billion more Universes.

[PatrickEngSU]

@MetalHeart8787 they mean that they see galaxies that formed 600 million years after the big bang. So those galaxies are 13 billion minus 600 million light years away.

[hdevlin]

@MetalHeart8787 your a dumbass, maybe you should just look at the pictures and dont think so hard

[KennyReddwooddforest]

@MetalHeart8787 Yes, it makes total sense that there are infinite numbers of universes, and also multiverses of the same universes with variations as well as complete copies of universes. Space never ends in any direction.

[keeyride]

@sonjafortuna how about Uranus

[yahuichiu]

Can not take my eyes away from this program...I think I am going to have cosmic dreams tonight!! :> tears for this? skip heartbeats for this? speechless!!!! goosebumps!!?? YES!

[scubandre1]

simply amazing......thank you

[shapetwist]

the best telescope is one that can make me a sandwich. who cares about stupid nebula dust and gas. nonsense!

@shapetwist - Next time eat your dinner before watching this video, then you might learn something about your place in the universe besides filling your belly, lol.

I don't think we will ever fully understand the nature of the universe. I think our minds are simply not capable.

@Blamepandora85 I think our ego is more of an enemy than our capacity to understand is.

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

A telescope that can find ANY kind of alien LIFE FORM would be better than a telescope that can see all the stars and galaxies and nebulae. All telescopes can see yet we still have no awareness of life beyond earth.

Good documentary summarises to date what telescopes have brought forth to man's knowledge of space.....and the mysteries that remain!
