  • Ahh i cant help mentioning the Muse references here, even though they're unintentional

  • "Stars are nothing more then hydrogen bombs"

    So we have a bomb a million times bigger then our planet that is close to us ? (On the cosmic scale)

    Well...we're fucked o.o

  • No, at the Big Bang event lots of Protons and Electrons were created which combined to form lots of hydrogen atoms. Since at the exposition we had so much of hydrogen gas the first stars were extremely massive. After death of these stars the neutron stars and black holes came to be. A black hole is just a super massive neutron star. Eventually, the strong gravitation pull of these objects attracted the matter which was in local surrounding of the black hole to create galaxies.

  • @deonisdeonis i agree.

  • @deonisdeonis You mean ENERGY was created than it condensed into particles such as quarks and bosons etc... THAN atoms from protons electrons and neutrons. The stars by the way, would have formed around the highly condensed dark matter since dark matter produces a viable source of gravity in our physical reality. That's what lead to the creation of stars than to super novas than to nebulae than to everything else. That's the big bang theory anyway :/

  • @TheCoolGuy367 Yes and No, conversion Matter-Energy-Matter is very inefficient process, as you know E=mc2. As for quarks, I do agree that they were formed at the explosion and protons and electrons came later from them. But, the amount of other non H atoms and in this respect neutrons was very insignificant to talk about it. Heavy elements was cooked in stars and super heavy elements (Fe ->) was created in supernovas.

  • i deeply respect dr. Kaku but some of his ideas are crazy as hell,

  • I was in a bad mood so I decided to watch this for a few good laughs. I feel all better now. =]

  • the mere fact that human minds have even come up with these theories stuns me

  • Question: what came first the chicken or the egg

    Answer: dinosaurs laying eggs long before the chicken.

  • What a stupid question of course the black hole was created first only then did the stars rotate around it. It's like asking whether the Sun or the planets from first. Obviously the Sun was present first.

  • I bet the Pentagon didn't want him to say that.

  • @NotJames1 Thanks dude

  • 0:58 Dark matter began to clump cause of gravity?? How can gravity exist before the formation of even the galaxy?

  • @Hassaan1048 Gravity exists as long as there's mass. Which existed before galaxies

  • @NotJames1 Well, what the scientists believe today, and what they're trying to prove at cern is that gravity came into existence with the emergence of the higgs boson. Gravity exists as long as there is a higgs field and matter inside that field!

  • @mortenrobinson that wasn't the question. The question was 'How can gravity exist before the formation of the galaxy?'. Clearly this question shows a lack of understanding about gravity (which isn't a problem because that's how learning starts). So Newtonian answer is the correct one.

    It's like explaining Special relativity before Newtonian mechanics

  • @NotJames1 according to newtonian mechanics, our galaxy would spin apart

  • @MasterChieeff Right? What's your point?

  • @NotJames1 i don't remember. cocain'es a hell of a drug

  • @MasterChieeff Well that's a shame for you then. Get help. You know you're not well when you can't remember something from one day ago?

  • @NotJames1 Took it too far.

  • What if black holes form a new universe/dimension? Is that even possible?

  • you better not die, kaku

  • @45dfghjk1 why? there are MANY MANY physicists better than him

    he just has more influence

  • @45dfghjk1 I don't think he won't he looks young if you would dye his hair and eyebrowns black, he would look like a 20 year old.

  • My head hurts so good

  • Everyone knows the eggplant came first...

  • @MrSiiKez Lol i didn't even see that comment he had made prior to your comment, talking about god and science almost in the same sentence :P I just thought he was like 10 years old or something, when in fact he is deluded :D Well, this turns it all around into being a pointless argument i'm having... Why oh why do these people even search for videos like this on youtube?? All the science they need is apparently in the bible, lol :P

  • I keep watching these videos and at the end I see that there is only 1 or 2 more in the suggestions.. I click on it and suddenly 10 more that I haven't watched yet come up... Will I ever get to catch up on Top Gear and get to sleep tonight?

  • Galaxy first.

  • @OverLordSky yepp, you are much MUCH smarter than all the physicists in the world. lol

  • @MasonicKryptonite Correct.

  • @OverLordSky lol that's the definition of Messiah Complex right there. Psychologists would write papers bout you son.

  • @MasonicKryptonite They would write papers. I came to many conclusions before I even hit puberty that took teams of scientists and quantum theoreticle physicists and many years to get to. I would think the same thing If I had been wrong. But as it turns out I never have been. If you wanna argue this subject then were gonna have to redifine what you believe a black hole is.

  • @MasonicKryptonite  (actually I saw this kaku guy in the movie "what the bleep do we know" when I was a kid and couldnt believe he was talking about all the stuff I had already thought of, was more like a refresher - Got alot smarter since then...smarter)

  • @OverLordSky IF you were as smart as you believe to be....wouldn't you be world famous for solving all the problems modern physics is still trying to solve? Running your mouth on the internet differs from making scientifical theories and being able to back them up with the math that proves you are right.

    Make a video and prove your point, If you are capable of doing so I will take back anything I said.

  • @MasonicKryptonite You are right, unfortunatly im from a poor family and never got a higher education in math. I wish I could, one day maybe I will. There are a few famous philosphers that didnt know high level math though, although, the mathmaticians surrounding them got credit for the formulas minus the actual idea itself.

  • @OverLordSky You dont need to be rich to make yourself a name in Science bro. Start working on Papers and publish some and youll get there.

  • he could have just answered the question in 3 words: "i don't know"

  • Before a big bang all galaxies, stars, almost every thing was clustered into one single dark ball of dusts and gases which i called a black hole; however, there was no one to observe that massive collision between two massive objects. As we all might know that when all stars die they will form a dark objects called a black hole, if we can reverse process, then we will see how a star form from a black hole and our galaxies are the clusters of billions and trillions of stars. I prd bhole is older.

  • @michelshubu This could happen reapeatedly shifting back and forth from one state to the other though correct? Thus how do you tell which one started such a cycle.

  • @michelshubu black holes actualy do explode after a while and the matter comes back out look it up.

  • BOMBS you say :/

  • 0:43 What the fuck

  • @PINGPONGROCKSBRAH how are you people always figuring out this weird shit on youtube

  • @379peterbilt530 what? 

  • which came 1st the chicken or the egg. the chicken, it's simple. there were once dinosaur featherless chickens walking around laying featherless chicken eggs then one day oe of the chickens mutated after birth then layed an egg which sprouted a chicken but the original mother chicken came 1st. i've always hated that saying lol i figured it out back in primary school

  • I don't believe in dark matter, it's just an easy solution to an important problem.

    Nonsensical mumbo-jumbo.

  • @burnacle dark matter exists.. we just dont understand it.. completely

  • A religious debacle. How cute.

  • "What came first? the chicken or the egg" isn't opinionated... the structure of the egg requires a certain protein that can only be found in a chicken. Now use your brains and figure it out.

  • It must be the black hole before the galaxy right? Stars form from the gas, One goes supernova and turns into a blackhole, new stars are born that are caught in the black hole gravity, the black hole keeps feeding and growing and eventually is big enough to develop a galaxy around it no?

    Btw only 2 mins of thinking brought me to this answer but it's the only logical progression right?

  • @boxxer221 The gas cloud came first, in which formed stars from the regions of higher pressure and temperature, and then the black hole comes at some point after when the star reaches super nova. Seems to me if stars are forming, they form here and there all over the gas cloud randomly, and probably hundreds or thousands are around before any black holes happen. I see the black hole as an advanced star, instead of there before the stars. Cant have gravity without matter

  • @ricktbdgc Actually black holes simply is a huge dense mass created with many nearby stars colliding to create a mass of incredible gravitational power.

  • which came first the chicken or the egg? answer that and you have your answer to this video

  • Is there any actual proof that there is such a thing as dark matter?

    Because it seems to me like dark matter is just a filler for something we don't understand. Like the x in an equation. I don't think it should be spoken about as if it's totally understood. He speaks about it like he knows everything about how it behaves. Which I don't think is the case.

  • Physicist: I'm learning about the true origins of the universe and how it works to better the lives of every living being on the planet. Government: Coolstorybro Physicist: We can also make things go boom. Government: Shut up and take my money.

  • @nullrox Perfect. :)

  • @nullrox sadly true

  • the egg come befor galaxy and blackhole togather >:O ! ;]

  • @MrSiiKez what fact? your theory is based on bullshit. "the egg came first because of reality" isnt a fact, thats fiction idiot. yo you talk like a faggot in case you havent noticed. why dont you educate your retarded little brain and read for once

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Let me save you 1;30 mins

    He doesn't have the answer.

  • So in a meaning, in the future we will create our own inteligent species.. therefore: we are god! (bad english :\)

  • @spiegeltn you retard, that's EXACTLY one of the things we are trying to figure out.

  • OMG the chicken and the egg I have your answer noobs... *sighs* the theory of the six epochs states everything is a pattern of complexity chemistry make dna, dna makes brains, thus which came first the human or the sperm/cells all this is simply data and humans not the sperm or egg STOPS dividing/multiplying cells after a certain time sperm / idk about eggs sperm divides infinitely with out a death script it is the immortal code our bodies carry so the egg it is data we just carry it!

  • Comment removed

  • Before you troll on me for what I said I decided not to jest in riddles today normally my most common method to challenge your neurons, dendrites, and your constructive conscious of reality. Instead I provoke and challenge you to think with a forcefully confident statement followed by a disclaimed to guide you to think of something either better or original in the progression to answer such a primitive question!

  • @Spiratech Just to clarify my theory is the egg came body came first we did not pop out of an embryo at birth it you have a physicist unable to answer such a simple obvious question. What came first the person or the sperm [root species for man or the bird] for that matter what came first the skull or the brain. Data wants to simply be more complex it has followed this pattern, breeding is a protocol for keeping saving this level of complexity just like you save in a game!

  • @Spiratech well if you want to get technical molecules came first, then it complicated it's self wasn't satisfied and searched for further complexities, made DNA which was the blueprints for both the body and the ability to reproduce. So for the chicken the DNA already had planed for this being to produce and egg... but DNA did not make an egg then the body hatched NO >< the body was made and the egg followed! I will say it again year 2012 and NO ONE has a better theory... provocative ;) no?!

  • i thought a galaxy has to have a black hole in the center, please answer

  • black hole came after stars were formed i am certain

  • or am i just crazy and over imaginative

  • so what about the big bang. did all the matter in the universe compact in the center of an unimaginaly big black hole and then somehow disperese? is it possible that such a black hole exists and is currently pulling the entire univerese, including all other black holes, into itself?

  • So the government wanted to research hydrogen bombs, the sun, and gave them a ton of money. With that money they found out nearly everything about solar evolution. Maybe we should apply huge heaps of money to scientists more often....

  • @spiegeltn why are you watching science videos dumb cristian.

  • @daryps03 How unintentionally ironic.

  • @ProductsofXplode lol ya that was dumb

  • Why can you be my Physics teacher?!

  • Time has always been. Once you can explain that, you can answer this question to certainty.

    I've found a particle physics theory that explains unification within parameters using DeBroglie waves, but if even I had to answer this, I'd say the two formed at exactly the same moment because they work together to exist. Also a black hole funnel exists, but not a black hole, not the way people think. Explanation on my channel.

  • that black hole needs jenny craig

  • HERE IS YOUR ANSWER . THE GALAXY , TO ASSEMBLE A BLACK HOLE YOU NEED MASS THAT CONTINUALLY IMPLODES . THE ONLY MASS THAT WE REALLY KNOW OF IS MATTER , THEREFORE THE GALAXY CAME FIRST .

    GIANFRANCO FRONZI. FEBRUARY . 10 / 12

  • @9493760 Funny thing is though, black holes don't even really exist! Their funnels do, but the mass IS the space around them inducting the more energetic particles, splitting them through a combination of induction and collision points where funnels meet. I made a video explaining how everything works in unification, actually 2 videos.

  • @mikefromspace How do you know so much? Or are you theorizing ?

    GIANFRANCO FRONZI

  • @9493760 EVERYONE is theorizing, but I KNOW my theory is reality because I've studied every mystery of the cosmos and found unification of all. Nobody wants to peer review my projectively geometrical 'skeleton theory' ; but I don't care. I've explained how anti-gravity works, nobody else has done this. I've found by dead reckoning method, a solution to every mystery of the cosmos. Parameters are what matter in unification, not exact numbers because everything IS relative as Einstein said.

  • @mikefromspace You had me until , the last , why would someone capable of levitation , and bear such knowledge , have to refer to a questionable scientist ?

    Everything being relative is known by every farmer on earth . Tell us something we don't know , not how much you do .

    GIANFRANCO FRONZI. february . 12 / 2012

  • @9493760 Because, Einstein witnessed the Philadelphia Experiment from the pier. I read this in a book written by a witness. What I DO know is that mass and energy off both magnetic poles work together and against each-other to give this infinite universe atoms, planets, stars, galaxies. The balance of mass against energy should be obvious, but to those who cling to Euclid, it will never be.

  • @mikefromspace Well sir pardon the sarcasm , but , i read in another book written by a witness that it was actually ELVIS that witnessed that . I didn't know magnetic poles had mass or energy , especially to create galaxies . What's obvious is you've mistaken EUCLID for a the name of a long street .

    GIANFRANCO FRONZI. february . 13 /12

  • @9493760 What a moron. Go away. You are no scientist and do not belong here.

  • An egg doesn't change its type. A chicken egg is an egg that contains the chicken. It's not a guess if a chicken egg will contain a chicken or a bald eagle - we know the egg is there and it will grow into a chicken.

  • The egg of course. The dinosaur egg. (but also the chicken egg)

  • @TurielD Black holes are established by their density, not absolute mass. So imagine those 3 million suns packed into a volume of about 1000 suns or less

  • Next video, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

  • If the galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars and the black hole is only the mass of a few million suns, why does it have such a big effect? That amount of mass seems relatively small...

  • @TurielD Because it's a black hole, do we ever look over something just because the mass is not as significant to other things?

  • @TurielD I think you're right, that the black hole does not have a big effect compared to the rest of the galaxy in situations where such a comparison is relevant.

  • @TurielD that mass is a massive number. it has enough gravitational pull to keep anything within a distance of several thousand light years spinning around it. and it is contained in a tiny space compared to the size of an actual sun. black holes at their center have an infinite mass. black holes break the laws of physics and create a flaw in the theory of relativity. black holes expoose a flaw in einsteins equation

  • in fact without the gravitational waves, orbits would be at all angles, and the colisions between objects would be much faster and with more energy, enough to smash everything into its particles, and there would be no rotation in the galaxy at all and everything would immediately drop straight down into the center with a massive explosion

  • gravity probe B proved that gravitational waves are real, and an explaination why saturns rings are exactly in the equator line of its rotation, and 99% of our solar system orbits on a flat plane, and galaxies also spin on a flat plane. If there wasnt gravitational waves, random colisions between objects would make them orbit at all angles, and galaxies would be spherical not flat

  • as the gas moved to the center, it became dense and rotate much quicker in the center than the edges, in fact the center was spinning like crazy and as you move away the rotation drop off quickly. The only reason I can explain why all the gas never got pulled into the black hole is if gravitational waves stirred up the entire gas cloud as a whole, thus speeding up the rotation of the outer edges, keeping it all in orbit. They say the outer sprial arms of a galaxy move faster than calculated

  • here is the answer.. at one point in time space was full of uniform gas (more or less) and then it became clumpy. soon the gas formed into clusters with nothing in between. These clusters became more and more dense and began to rotate. At some point the density in the center got so much that the black hole formed. Not all the gas made it to the center, as the centrifugal forces kept the gases away and in orbit. The residual gases in orbit became clumpy, which formed the stars & planet

  • @ricktbdgc steven hawking makes me laugh, i believe u just quoted him. did u just say the galaxy is flat..lol..i heard the earth is too. I agree on the gravitational waves but only for large masses in particularily sharp curved orbits.

  • pretty fucking sad these guys only get funding for mother fucking military projects....FUCK THOSE GOVERNMENT PIGS

  • The universe was made from nothing. That is why there is Dark Matter.

    The universe was a Flat Floor. There is nothing there, But then someone dug a hole. Something was made out of nothing.

    The pile of dirt next to the hole is matter, while the hole itself is dark matter.

  • @MrSiiKez articles.cnn (.) com/ 2010-07-14 /world/england.chicken.egg.rid­dle_1_chicken-crystal-structur­e-human-skeleton?_s=PM:WORLD I believe in evolution not creationism, just read the article it just shows that without a certain protein, found in a chicken's ovaries, eggs can never form

  • huh... here I am learning something and the suggested video to watch is "Jake and Amir: Pie" how the hell are these 2 video related ?!

  • @GoDLiKeKakashi one of the tags is 5min, 5min kind of looks like Amir (5min amir). Meh thats all i got.

  • most logical conclusion is that the black hole came first.

  • @mQtek Explain.

  • @matsrudi Gravity from the black hole pulls everything around it, all the gas, everything, just look at the shape of the galaxies. It is the most logical conclusion, to me anyway.

  • @mQtek I agree. I mixed up gallaxy and universe up in my head :P I too think its the most logical, but saying that black holes came before the universe is a bit more controversial. But how can i or anyone know?

  • @matsrudi Haha, without a universe there can be no black holes, don't know why anyone would think that.

  • @mQtek Thats why i told you to explain.

  • @matsrudi Explain what? You want me to explain how a black hole cannot exist without a universe? Could a cookie exist without a universe? ugh

  • @mQtek No, no need to explain now. I told you i read wrong and mixed up universe and gallaxy.

  • @mQtek Definitely yeah! If all this matter was so dense before the big bang, that it was a point of singularity... Well then it must have been a black whole!! Perhaps the big bang is just a sort of inverted gamma-ray burst, where everything bursted out to become a new universe... Maybe an implosion and an explosion is the same thing when seen from the perspective of a black whole :)

  • @mortenrobinson No. Learn what a black hole is, the most logical conclusion is that it swallows everything, turns it into pure energy then spits it out. If we could go inside a black hole, to the very center, most likely there would be a wormhole, the wormhole would collapse if matter touched it. We could need anti-matter, if we could go through the wormhole, we would not have made a new universe. Black holes = drains of the universe, to keep things balanced, recycled.

  • NO. OMG Facts said that the chicken came first. So your analogy fails.

  • @ActRanDumb You fail. The only way the chicken comes first is if you are a creationist. The egg came first because evolution is reality, no matter what bird like creature slowly evolved into todays chicken, it was it's offspring that emerged from the egg that we know as todays chicken. I don't know why this question is even considered a conundrum.

  • @MrSiiKez You're not God, you don't know the creation and ancestry of life and reality so shut up. The chicken came first according to SCIENCE.

  • @BrianDopeFresh You're a creationist? hahahahahahahaha nuff said LOL

  • @MrSiiKez laughing it off because you're wrong, nothing new. Instead of creating your own theory from the top of your head, i suggest you do some research before you go mouthing off about something you have no clue of.

  • @BrianDopeFresh My "theory" is based on fact. You're a creationist, aka the type of person everybody on this video hates. LOL slap yourself. You read my comment, therefore you have been educated. :)

  • @MrSiiKez btw if you weren't so dumb, you would realize the only creationist is you by denying the evolution of the egg.. nuff said are you gay?

  • @BrianDopeFresh Did you just say "the evolution of the egg" ? LOL. I hope you aren't trolling because that's gold, you remind me of Karl Pilkington.

  • @MrSiiKez HEY FAGGOT, shut up.

  • @BrianDopeFresh LOLRAGE

  • @BrianDopeFresh How is sexual orientation related to your argument? Also, someone who is actually retarded would lack the ability to operate a computer or create complex sentences. If you want your argument to be taken seriously then use actual logic and facts rather than simply insulting your opponents.

  • @jake99340 stfu and take your own advice before you start giving them away

  • @MrSiiKez : yeah, pathetic isnt it, how stupid and badly educated some people are. Unfortunately, there is lots of the in the U.S. A weird thing - the country with maybe the best physicists and scientist in general and on the other hand you have complete dumbasses like that guy.

  • @MrSiiKez I'm Agnostic. And you're a fucking moron. Sure, RELIGION is retarded as fuck, but don't think you're positive as to what created the universe.

  • @zkiller142 You deserve a gold sticker for not having a clue as to what my comment was connected to, now slap yourself and weep in your bedroom.

  • Those jets supposedly are caused by gas and dust falling into a super-massive blackhole and reaching extremely high density, pressures and temperatures...kind of like what happens in a star, except for these objects are basically forming, destroying and ejecting the equivalent of millions of stars every second. I got a G in A-level woodwork.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a question: What came first- Michio Kaku or heavily diluted pseudo-scientific popularist 'entertainment'?

  • ahslion111, shut up. Your poor English is cluttering the comment section.

  • Now the chicken and the egg paradox is really not a paradox at all. Of course the egg came first!! Many different animals were laying eggs millions of years before the chicken had even evolved :)

  • @mortenrobinson was thinking the same thing

  • @buskerbabe although I think they mean the chicken or the chicken egg

  • @mortenrobinson yeah but time is simultaneous, both appeared at the same time is the correct answer ;]

  • @mortenrobinson But the species that laid the first chicken egg, did it or its egg come first...?

  • Comment removed

  • @mortenrobinson you're WRONG. don't make up things with your own theory, the chicken came first so the chicken/egg paradox is irrelevant

  • @BrianDopeFresh would depend whos egg your talking about, surely something else was laying eggs befor a chicken did, like fish :)

  • @FubarLikeYou i suppose the statement refers to the chicken egg lol good point though

  • @BrianDopeFresh Are you crazy??!? Although i wish, i'm sorry to inform you that the theory of evolution is not my own home-brewed theory, it was originally thought of and formulated by Charles Darwin...

  • @mortenrobinson whats your point?

  • @BrianDopeFresh The egg would have to come first. Otherwise the chicken would never be born. What laid the egg? Why, whatever the creature that came before the chicken of course. It is simple logic.

  • @Tonvir999 so the egg came first because "simple logic" makes more sense than facts? what you need to understand is im not saying the chicken came first because i believe so. Im saying the chicken came first because its been proven already

  • @BrianDopeFresh You've got some facts and evidence messed up quite bad here sir. It has pretty much been proven that the egg came first! Birds (hence chickens) evolved from dinosaurs. Dinosaurs laid eggs, and they were doing so millions of years before the chicken even existed. Eggs came first!

  • @mortenrobinson no the truth is, you guys are overlooking the whole topic. The issue involves "what came first the chicken or the egg", a statement referring to a chicken and its egg. OBVIOUSLY dinosaurs laid their own eggs before the chickens arrived. therefore my evidence isn't messed up; everybody's analysis is because the answer to the riddle is the chicken.

  • @BrianDopeFresh Dude do you even read peoples comments before replying to them?? I stated several times that other animals were laying eggs before the chicken had evolved, i never ever stated that they were laying fucking chicken eggs!! Of course dinosaurs would be laying dinosaur eggs and fish would be laying fucking fish eggs...

  • @mortenrobinson Why don't you read what you said and take your own advice... did you read my comment before you replied to me? TOPIC: what came first the chicken or the egg? my answer: the chicken. the fact is, you peeped your way into this. I never asked you for your input, you simply decided to argue against what I said. It's so unnecessary for you to say I'm wrong and add your irrelevant bullshit. And if you ever wonder, don't become a lawyer; you're dumb.

  • @mortenrobinson the chicken or the egg means the egg that made the chicken or the chicken. everyone already knows that eggs were around before chickens. please don't critizise if you have no idea what there talking about.

  • Comment removed

  • @darklotus4life1 The dude replied to a comment that i made earlier, and he did so in an incredibly rude manner! The comment was made as a joke, and it was made quite clear in the comment that i was not talking about chicken eggs! To get the full context of the discussion and criticism you should go back and read the comments. I didn't start the discussion, nor did i start with all the criticism. Please don't accuse me of not having a clue what i'm talking about, without knowing the context!

  • @Tonvir999 so which is the egg? the universe or the black hole?

  • @mortenrobinson what good is an old theory when there are hard evidence and facts today?

  • @BrianDopeFresh Hard evidence and facts empirically pointing to the rigor and consistency of the theory of evolution! Which means it is pretty damn good theory!!
