  • 1:13...Anti-assassin's creed?

  • Forever alone. 

  • Baa??

  • NO SHEEP NOOOO

  • So why are they predicting that andromeda will merge into the milky way in trillions of years?

  • stupid question if space is expanding and every thing is moving away from everything else, why do some galaxies collide.

  • @sarahmbrown82 survival of the fittest.

  • set off a hand grenade in space and see if it forms itself back together

  • hello. actually im still at college and wouldnt understand much about these physics. So id like to ask. I once read that when you go in a straight line you will come back to your starting point. doesnt sound sane to me actually. but could it be possible that instead of moving away from each other, they eventually warp back and all of them collide together. sorry for any nonsensical rant by me, just having a curious mind

  • The other day I was in math class and I asked my teacher about what we were learning about. I said,"Do fractals resemble the universe constant expansion?" Everyone looked at me very strange but I could see that he was impressed by the connection i had made. Do a short on fractals please! I made a few fractal animations myself but idk what I'm doing sooo I'd like you advice on my question.

  • This is awkward I posted that comment on my friends youtube account thinking it was my account. However, you can check out the animations on this account:) mb

  • Did Michael hire the bassist alone again?

  • "V?"

    "V(t)?"

    "Baa?"

  • DUDE no edge.

  • must stop clicking related videos!

  • yeah eighter vacuum energy expanding space itself or just gravity becoming weaker between the diverging objects....or both.

  • So the Sheep that said Baa was just as smart ass Einstein since he said Aaw.. RIGHT ?!?!

  • this nobel prize should have gone to hubble

  • PROVE THIS WRONG: all matter and everything is constantly shrinking at the same rate except for open space making the distances between galaxies seem to move faster and faster apart when really the gap between them is getting bigger . Also tell me if this is an already established theory because I have been thinking about this for a while and honestly i'd REEEEAALY like some recognition from the scientific community, SINCE IT IS AWESOME.

  • @FAILINGHARD Proof - Light would travel to certain points faster in which it does not. Not shrinking.

  • @FAILINGHARD so you mean atoms themselves are shrinking?

  • Also, if all the other galaxies in the universe suddenly vanished, our world would not be any darker or lonelier than it is now. The only galaxy visible to the naked eye is M31, (and the Magellanic clouds, but only in the southern hemisphere) and that is only a tiny blur in the night sky that most people have never even seen. So cheer up.

  • "All galaxies are moving away from all the other galaxies." This is blatantly false since the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at about 100 to 140 kilometres per second. That's the trouble with these minute physics things, they leave a lot out.

  • @dstdvl When you can make a video a couple of minutes long on a topic that has covered centuries of research and thousands of books, papers, etc, WITHOUT leaving anything out, please give me a call :).

  • baah

  • Yer Voice kinda sounds Like Alan Alda

  • 1:22 NOOO not the cat T_T

  • I liked the idea of the vacuum energy driving the expansion of the universe. It's easier for me to understand :P Since the Further you go, the less matter and energy you see, therefore the vacuum becomes closer and closer to perfect, sucking harder and harder on you the further you go away from everything else.

  • @truebeliever2011 Wait a sec, I'm a muslim too and i have been studying about Judgement day, the day where all things "end".

    ...

    Poor sheep :P

  • In islam we know there is an end for univese but no body knows except god only,and when that time comes god will ask every single humen beings in his life , if we belived that he is the only god and did we do will in our life meaning did we do what god told us to do .

    there is an end to humanity or to the universe

  • @truebeliever2011 Stop watching physics videos

  • @truebeliever2011 ,Has a God talked to you and and if so....told you what?

  • @truebeliever2011 according to your statement, "nobody knows there is an end... for the universe except god"? since we now know this fact, we must therefore all be gods.

    P.S. what did god tell (us) to do -- behead all unrepentant nonbelievers?

    P.P.S. end of 'humanity' in the sense that mankind is slowly degenerating and becoming absorbed with superficiality and materialism, losing our 'humanity', it will surely end, but the universe will end and be reborn over and over, likely without mankind.

  • Forever alone....

  • Did you ask the sheep?

  • I don't really see how this is depressing.

  • @DarkAvengerXVFilms "The universe will gradually become a lonelier, darker, emptier place". If you don't find it depressing you may better slow down with antidepressants

  • @resoprint I don't take anti-depressants, but the idea that we will drift further away from other galxies and such is just something that i don't find depressing at all.

  • Poor Einstein

  • 1:23 cat disappears too along with the galaxies?

  • I'm depressed now..

  • One word:

    Baa...

  • Or maybe the Universe is still accelerating like a bullet continues to accelerate until it reaches a certain point. Considering how massive the big bang is supposed to be, maybe it will take 20Billion years for the expansion to slow down.

  • Stupid question: Isn't that the ultimate consequence of increasing entropy, anyway?

  • The other fun tidbit is that the inner teardrop is rotating in an opposite direction from the outer Cardioid. The intersection point is the interesting zone flaw.

  • By the way, the teardrop in the center of the polar coordinate plot is your known universe.

    By the polar plot of; R = U + cos(t) , with t = 0 to 2*Pi, and U is decreasing from 2.5 to 0.

    As the variable U decreases your "universe" (the inner teardrop of an off-center one) appears to expand quicker and quicker.

    In case you are wondering, your known universe (you're not the only one out there) in this particular low-quality example is rotating around the angle 0-axis. The Cardioid is a 3D object.

  • Actually, this universe exists as a Cardioid expressed in 4th-directional spacetime.

    The universe is not expanding so much as reaching the limiting zone of the exterior of the function. Plot in polar form; r = 1+cos(t). This is your "Big Bang". This universe, when it went off the temporal rotary center shown in r = 2.5+cos(t).

    Your variable is r = U + cos(t). As the variable 'U' decreases, so the universe nears collision with the inner wall of annihilation.

  • @Matrix29bear WTF!

    this sounds interesting! may i ask what you are talking about?

  • I don't think its expanding... I think its collapsing to a singularity. Just because we see it moving very fast in one direction doesn't necessarily mean its expanding... it could be going toward a point.

  • @ebowebo but then everything would be moving in one direction, and it isnt

  • But how will everything collapse for another big bang?

    Do we have to do everything?

  • NO EDGE!!

  • @HanafiElSha7toor

    yhe

    NO EDGE

    and the best part, the Edge is moving further away

  • @HanafiElSha7toor Oh hello there you nerdfighter =D

  • @pogowitwiz Agreed there. "The Universe" is a title for the container everything is in". And combined with this video's content (plus what the video touched on, that Einstiens explanation for gravity is not a 'pull' but rather a 'push' going on...then there would also be something to consider about whats 'outside' this container we call the Universe which should be affecting objects movement.

  • @insyncnet1 In other words...wouldn't there be a 'push' effect on the outerlimit objects...pushing objects back? If so, it may be not as influential as inertia & etc.to slow down the speeds outwards. Because internally the Universe's objects would have a degree of velocity already in progress then add Dark Energy further pushing objects from each other. The two combined would dominate over external Dark Energy pushing in. Does that make any sense? o heck i dunno. I luv this stuff tho. heh.

  • this was really depressing...

  • @textred13 How so? isolation is depressing? strange.

  • @textred13 Long before then the sun will have engulfed the Earth :)

  • It's honestly so hilarious reading these comments of people trying to sound smart, but still misspell words and occasionally have incorrect grammar.

  • Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth: watch?v=WvVXJaASp64&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

  • everything is so much more simple when its drawn out for you.

  • Comment removed

  • what if there are universes within universes, because the galaxies spread out so much that there are empty spaces where new universes started? I can't really phrase it but what if?

  • @theabridgekid I believe (though I'm not that well educated in this field) that our universe is really just how we describe the space all the stuff is in. I'm saying that "The Universe" is a title for the container everything is in, and if more stuff were put inside, then it would still be in the universe.

  • @theabridgekid Well that would be finominal for we could actually see how universes were created. BUT i dont think so cause for that to happen a universe would have to begin and we would instantly catch a explosion of that magnitude. AND i dont think that the space between galaxies is enough to fit and entire universe since we live in one and thats big enough to fit MILLIONS of galaxies so i dont think so.... good theory though that would be cool =/ =P

  • was I the only one that got sad when the cat disappeared

  • so by the time we get the means to find those aliens they will be too far away for us to actually find them

  • 1:22 FOREVER ALONE

  • @Bonktf lol

  • you had to take the dog away didnt you

  • forever alone :(

  • Baa, the OBVIOUS solution for all our physics problems.

  • Dark energy has negative pressure, so we're not just talking about the kind of vacuum we can create in atmospheric conditions. The more the vacuum expands, the more dark energy and the more negative pressure there is, so the harder it is for gravity to pull masses together. This means that things will keep on accelerating away from each other forever, until (entwined with entropy), the universe is just a luke-warm soup of subatomic particles.

  • What is to say we are not all just still being pushed away by the force of the big bang and that gravity hasn't taken hold yet to pull us all back together?

  • @huddl3buh50 Then what energy drives the acceleration today, and will in the future? The explosion has happened, it is PAST. The acceleration is still PRESENT.

  • Wait...how does vacuum energy push things away. I thought vacuums wanted to be filled so wouldn't the mean the would be coming back together faster?

  • milky way forever alone

  • You for got it will also become colder s time goes on

  • And then we will truly become... Forever Alone.

  • removing the cat at the end of the video was intelligent...

  • This was the first Minutephysics i found by mistake searching threw the vastness of youtube...i clicked on it cuse the pitcture looked cool....i stayed for the physics

  • @Chocolategoochy I was sorta thinking the same thing

  • But shouldn't it eventually stop expanding? I mean does the "empty space" add more space to it as it expands? It can't go on for an infinite amount of time, even if it is going faster by the second. Eventually it should slow down because of the fact that it's getting less crowded and possibly should shrink back in due to gravity (and maybe bounce back and forth between shrinking and expanding until it eventually settles).

  • Why? you don't leave universe alone?! . scientists should look for another job. damn.

  • waw sean

  • rapidly accelerating further away from each other....story of my social life *wahwah...*

  • Then will it go full circle and collide?

  • @TheHylianShield no because empty space has no spacial orientation

  • Somehow, with the expansion of the Universe, more energy of space is (theoretically) appearing, causing the expansion of the Universe to speed up. Because "empty space" contains energy, and energy can't be diluted into space, more energy appears to occupy this new space and cause the Universe to expand faster and faster

  • @joey1257984 But doesn't that go against the "conservation of energy". I'm not too sure how Vacuum energy works, but I've always thought that you can't create (you said "appear") energy. You can only channel if from another source/form of energy. Meaning that maybe the remaining space energy is diluted or the impact of energy varies based on positions relative to other objects on a macroscopic scale....maybe I'm over thinking this a bit.

  • @Raptik666 Yes, what you're saying is true that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. In a closed system, this applies. But as the Universe expands, the entire system is changing. Energy cannot be diluted, and with more space coming into the Universe - from where, we don't know - more energy of space is coming with it. In fact, this is only theoretical right now, there's no real evidence that this is actually happening.

  • amazing

  • isn't there a theory that piggybacks this called the big rip (or something to that nature)

    ?

  • @thatguy126 there is also the Big Freeze, Big Crunch and the Big Bounce

  • isn't andromeda going to collide with the milky way in a few billion years

  • @kyleisreallycool --- We got this in our physics class... but we never got told why it is heading towards us. Also why does Andromeda have a blue shift ? :S

  • @iraph blue shift means it's getting closer red shift means it's going farther away

  • @kyleisreallycool what does that matter to you. And what if the Andromeda would move towards us. It will move towards us over time but that's nothing that breaks this principle the fact that everyday it's moving towars us slower is another fact though it's velocity is increasing.

  • @kyleisreallycool I highly doubt we'll be in the milky way by that time, either by way of extinction or migration.

  • @kyleisreallycool Not collide, merge. Due to the vast distances between celestial bodies, there is only a tiny possibility that anything will collide, Andromeda will simply pass through and merge with our galaxy.

  • @kyleisreallycool andromeda is the only blue shifted galaxy. It just happens to be on a collision course with the milky way but the space it's in is still expanding

  • @kyleisreallycool They're moving away in all directions. Eventually it will collide and move further and faster away until they're all gone.

  • @kyleisreallycool Yes, andromeda is an exception in that it is on a closing in on us. Mostly because, universally speaking, it is pretty close to us and gravity keeps them together. However the idea that the universe is expanding still holds because the milky way and andromeda are riding the expansion together.

  • @kyleisreallycool its moving faster towards us then dark energy is pushing it away. its not so much gravity as it is the fact that andromeda is just movingnreally fast

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @kyleisreallycool Yeah, I can't wait.

  • @kyleisreallycool It's because of the gravitational pull of both galaxies, it's too great to become subject to the pulling apart of the universe, however, as both are moving closer together, they are moving father apart from other celestial bodies.

  • @kyleisreallycool technically, and in galactic scale, its pretty close, close enough that gravity is sucking us together : P

  • So does that mean we are moving away from the sun, or is it just the galaxies moving away while everything stay put within the galaxy.

  • @Forkontheleft10 Actually, we are moving towards the sun. In a few billion years, if for some unexplained reason the sun didn't change in any way (it's going too...) and the earth didn't break up after getting too close... we'd eventually literally spiral into it. Don't worry though... life wont be possible on earth by that time...

  • @Forkontheleft10

    We're not moving away from the sun. Basically the larger the space inbetween two bodies, the greater the force of vacuum energy. But we're fairly close to the sun and the force is the little to push us on a notable level.

  • if we would move away from everything around us, we should go every way, meaning we would go in our own matter, so we would collapse in ourselfs. that would mean kids, you don't grow in puberty, you get smaller.

  • 1:07

    BAA

  • I miss the pink sheep, it brought me here, to this channel.

  • why is it moving away from "us" ?

    isn't everything moving away from everything else?

  • @lehmejoun that would include us, now wouldn't it.

  • @clevelandtyler2 yeah but it says its moving away from us, which makes it sound like we're staying on the same place in the center of the universe and everything around us is moving away from us, but thats not the case is it ?

  • @lehmejoun it's all relative. It's moving from us if you see it from our point of view.

    If you now move the point of view in let's say Alpha Centauri, We would be moving away from them.

    What I don't get is : there must be a limit to this expansion, since nothing can move faster than light. Unless you consider a limited universe where both extremes would move relatively from each other with a speed slower than light speed. But we're not likely to know it cause of the Even Horizons, for now

  • @PureMatteo there is something faster than light,i don't think we've discovered it yet

  • @lehmejoun He just uses "us" as a reference becuase it's where we are. It just makes more sense to says "us" than alpha centauri or some other galaxy, but yes, everything is moving away from everything else at an ever increasing speed.

  • @clevelandtyler2 i understand that, but it can confuse some people, thats my point

  • @lehmejoun yea i can understand that tho.

  • this means WE GOTTA GO TO ANOTHER GALAXY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Accelerated expansion theory is based upon assumption (And in my opinion, untrue). There is no real basis for it. The only way to prove accelerated expansion is to measure the same phenomena (Type 1A supernova) in 2 different time intervals, and measure the speed at which it is traveling (Through spectroscopy). This is impossible, and as such - this theory is unproven.

  • @ramonster163 Aren't MOST theories unproven?

  • @ramonster163 why is this impossible ?

  • we are not liked thats why

  • why did he kill the cat? and since when are sheep smart enough to be a scientist?

  • @wikkyz4903

    "since when are sheep smart enough to be a scientist?"

    They're not, but they supply the material for the hats that keep the scientists' brains warm.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, how do we know that dark energy expands the universe by spreading matter farther and farther apart? It could just be that it creates the illusion of universal expansion through the compression of matter.

  • But tomorrow never comes, so universal acceleration is false.

  • @jruler93 you are not funny

  • to euducationator: Nobody said I was trying to be, dipshit!

  • Baa?

  • some of youz forget that the universe and everything in it is electric. don't think "dark stuff" has anything to do with it.

  • @The71352

    waaait.... whut?

    Not sure what you are trying to say..

  • When he said that the galaxies should be moving back towards each other after spreading due to gravity i found that hard to believe. Because the concept of Gravity is that it gets weaker and weaker as objects move away from each other, so the galaxies would have less and less pull, allowing them to move faster and faster away. And they keep moving due to the FIRST LAW of Physics, an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force.

  • @Urmomrocks159 Not considering dark energy, if you suddenly turned off gravity galaxies would continue to move away from each other at a constant velocity NOT acceleration. This is Newton's law. The presence of gravity (at least in a Newtonian sense), even if it is getting weaker, should always reduce a galaxy's velocity.

  • @Urmomrocks159 this only depends on the initial conditions of their speed. Under a certain speed, an object goes back. Over it, it will never go back.

    Think about when you throw an apple on the moon. If you were true, it wouldn't fall back on the moon.

    You are true saying gravity goes weaker and weaker, but if it weakened slow enough to cover the "need" of gravity to bring back galaxies to each other, it would work. It's all about 1/n, 1/n2 or 1/n3 comparisons in the formulas.

  • Question: Aren't they accelerating faster because the force of gravity attracting them to each other is getting smaller as they grow farther apart?

  • @StamfordLegend

    Well, yes and no. Gravity does it part too, but the acceleration goes waaay to fast for being gravity alone.

  • @StamfordLegend newtons first law of physcis, look it up!

  • @euducationator I know it, and I even looked it up again. The velocity does change because it is acted on by an external force (gravity). and *Physics

  • you like sheep dont you?

  • aww, fucking party pooper.

  • is it weird that i'm thirteen and understood all of that?

  • The universe is both order and chaos!

  • wait so is the universe order or chaos? because its either helping other parts of itself(nebulae creating stars) or creating suicidal intentions(black holes)

  • @ThePlatoon4 well ............ according to the laws of entropy, the universe used to be incredibly organized but is desending into choas, so, in a way, both.

  • Baa? :P

  • did you ever heard for circle? 0:39 and 0:56 look better and thats staring of two circles in logic ways

    "what comes around goes around"

    Space or Universe are going trough iterations,born-lifetime-death­-born-lifetime-death,so infinity expand is bullshit.

  • @semiDmg This isn't logistics, its physics. Get on topic before arguing with the man with a physics major trying to make interesting videos for the smarter masses.

  • @MrHaloxp3

    thats my opinion,you may like or not,idc

  • Didn't AE also say that nothing can travel faster than light? So these universes can essentially travel faster than light?
