Fundamentals of Geology (Part 1: Birth of the Universe)

[puncheex]

So the mass inflation is from10^-5 to10^50:60 grams (the 50:60 indicates the level of possible error in the figure). As it is explained in the video, inflation expands space very rapidly. The expansion causes an equivalent expansion in negative gravitational binding energy, which is balanced by positive potential energy. The some of latter condenses into matter.

[puncheex]

Why inflation happens is a mystery. Geochron describes it as too much mass in too small an area; others I've heard is that the separation of the weak nuclear force from the others c auses a phase change in the matter (sort of like when liquid water changes to ice and expands). Trouble is that QM and GR cannot yet talk to each other in that very small realm, so there's no math that will work in there.

This is MudBrick studio's work, right? Why isn't it available on the Cassiopeia Project's channel? Is it separate form that?

[intermender]

This is so impressive and couragous. Where to start from in a course on geology? The beginning of the solar system, the beginning of the earth? Plate techtonics?

No, lets go for the beginning of the universe!

Way cool and win (and perhaps predictably mind-boggling and confusing).

I would like to see a film that ran the whole length from that quantum hiccups to future (compressed in time of course lol). Perhaps to some Jean Michel Jarre music in the background (oxygene 1 comes to mind).

[Geochron]

New episodes of FoG are in production.

[puncheex]

@Geochron: Any word on these episodes?

[MaDrung]

@intermender ofcourse this is just a speculation which most probably is fallse in most views, but it's stil the most reasonable thing they've come up and calculated with. ;)

[intermender]

@MaDrung Which views are you taking about which say the speculation is probably false if the speculation as you say has a reasonable basis? And are those views worth considering if they are the opposite, i.e unreasonable? You have expressed a doubt without anything specifically supporting how you've calculated that probablity therefore rendering you comment nonsensical.

[MaDrung]

@intermender I have concluded that because there is too much unknown, for this to hold suficcient accuracy of data. Just my thought.

[intermender]

@MaDrung ok, i can agree with that, but that is different to what you said before, because that time you were talking about 'views' and it sounded like you were alluding ot religious view to me. But if you are talking about personal opinion or how much science probably doesnt' know compared to what it does, i can agree.

omg. I'm not smart enough to understand this stuff....

peace out

How did 10^85 grams come from 10^-100000 grams?

[Geochron]

Quantum Mechanics allows for small amounts of matter to be created instantaneous from nothing for about a billionth of a second. If this happens, it stabilizes the scalar field in which this eruption of matter occurred. Since matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time, you get a forced expansion.. or BANG.

[mtanti87]

It doesn't come from nothing though right?

[Geochron]

It comes from absolutely nothing. The process isn't fully understood, but the mathematics allow it to happen. It's pretty deep stuff.

[mtanti87]

Doesn't that disprove thermodynamics?

[Geochron]

Nope. I think AndromedasWake covered this already (not sure).

[puncheex]

@Geochron: I think you'd say that the Physics, namely Quantum Mechanics, allows / causes it to happen, and the math describes it in a probabilistic manner.

[mousegeek]

This video is so wonderful.

[keggerous]

the pl that do these videos rock ass!! the pnly better description of quantum mechanics and early universe phenomena was Leonard susskind's lectures on this very site....

[proatheism]

Fantastic video.

[MarowakDidIt]

This is really informative, but the music is really creepy. O_O

[Freki619]

rofl that ending alone deserves a subscription! Great video!

[kalamain]

I didn't even know about it.....I saw it off a link from FFreethinker.

This is great stuff....Even though the actual science is very heavy going it was presented in a very simple and clear manner....

5/5

subbed

B-)

[fooblet]

yea, i really love ffreethinker... ive been learning about so many other channels via that one

[Keippernicus]

Why the hell hasn't anyone commented on this!? This was tight.

[do0me0nice]

It's a mirror so most people probably have seen it

[MaDrung]

Because this is cassiopeiaproject work.

Copied video.

[puncheex]

@MaDrung: But it's not on their channel or website, at least not by this name.

[MaDrung]

@puncheex not by this name.
