400 Years of the Telescope - HD Trailer

[xvtzau]

Plasma physicist have thoroughly discredited dark matter, dark energy and the Big Bang, The repulsive electrostatic force between two protons is 36 orders of magnitude greater than gravitational attraction. I live in a plasma universe, which has more than enough energy to describe all the observed phenomena without the need (as Jim Peebles admitted) to Fabricate Ad hoc Inventions Repeatedly Invoked in Efforts to Defend Untenable Scientific Theories (FAIRIE DUST).

[jensenbell]

Kepler FTW

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

Great video! the guys eyes at 02:25 was scary though.

[heartlessvietboy]

I don't know what the heck were in, but we're inside something.

[misinglink15]

what if dark energy/matter are just other universes bumping into ours?

[MarketMoney101]

pause on 2:47 "earth" a weird face

[MarketMoney101]

pause on 2:37 "earth" a weird face

[Steffenmccrary]

wow it sounds like u finding information for humaNITY for everybody thats hattin.

[SaturnAndItsRings]

@baggytights1991 and I guess you consider yourself not arrogant, in turn, making you quite arrogant yourself

[Sconz32]

I love how it's about the telescope and the images we can see thro a telescope and then they put a while bunch of computer generated I

[imanoob4]

Its kinda sad that you and i are only here for a milisecond and then were gone and forgoten

[libraryquiet]

@baggytights1991 It's not because were so small it's because the universe is so big. An ant would see us as quite immense but it's just that they're so small. And until we make contact with another intelligent life form we as a species are unique. More so than all the stars! We know the star's structure and makeup, they don't. The biggest star can't even think. The universe within our brain is more bigger than the physical universe. Which makes our planet special because we live on it.

[ParaglidingManiac]

People think, that building big telescopes is just a waste of money. But once they look through the yepiece - they change their mind.

[selfenten]

Please, could anyone tell me people's names (astronomers, physicians) speaking during the video?

Thanks :)

[VonTavast]

@selfenten Well I know one of them is Neil deGrasse Tyson.

[puncheex]

@selfenten: I know a couple. The priest (has a roman collar on) in the beginning is the since retired director of the Vatican Observatory, George Coyne SJ. The young guy talking about dark energy is Dr. "J" Joe Liska.

[selfenten]

@puncheex Thanks. Ahh, Dr. J, I remember him from Eyes on skies. :))

[Kevra777]

When I had a telescope, I would look at planets like Mars and Jupiter. I had a problem, whenever I look at Mars with my eyes, I would see a shiny, red planet, when I viewed it through a telescope, it would be white.

[wildwizardplanet]

Bloodiest of Hell ! Whats the point in telling, the Documentary will be aired more then a year later. Seriously, Trailer on YouTube Feb 22 2009 and air date is April 9 2010.

Once Discovery had done this in my experience airing a program "Comet Impact" a year later after its promo.

[InterstellarStudios]

@wildwizardplanet  It was an encore broadcast. The original broadcast was April 9, 2009 and the encore was April 10, 2010.

[NEEDCARS]

i wish i could be millions of light years from earth and then look at it and see the beginning of earth.

that would be awesome

[AlvaroAndfriends]

I strongly love the saying.

"An endless ocean of space and time"

We humans could take millions of years figuring out everything it is to know about the universe and all of its hidden secrets.

I only wish i was born in a future where humans achieved that power and travel through the vast distances of the universe.

I hope in my next life that happens i am so grown jealous to these astronomers.

[Ciscokid42069]

agreed

[feelzthelove]

I don't believe the universe is expanding.

[Kevzdacowz]

God is real

[elklkx]

does the universe has a limit? thats what we need to know to really understand the suppose theory of dark energy

[puncheex]

@elklkx: If you really want to know, look up and listen to Lawrence Krauss' lecture "The Universe from Nothing" on YouTube. The universe only has a limit is the geometry is closed; Krauss explores what that means and what the evidence is.

[KOTP10142]

the universe is expanding at an increadible rate due to dark energy, the universe will soon reach its limit and stop expanding, and will reverse time and engulf iftself...causing the end of the universe as we know it

[InterstellarStudios]

@KOTP10142  THis is not correct. The Universe will expand forever.

[ndyt]

InterstellarStudios, Forever? what if there are other universes expanding toward us?

[InterstellarStudios]

@ndyt Without evidence of multi-verses, we can only predict what we know. Observational evidence shows we resided in an expanding, accelerating universe.

[ndyt]

InterstellarStudios, Expansion is accelerating? Things don't accelerate without a force acting on them. Do we have any idea what that force is?

[Ledamonster]

@ndyt the original expansion force was said to have begun with the big bang. Because in space objects will continuously move at the same acceleration in the same direction unless another force is applied... our universe is continuously expanding and will until it collides with another universe then we will go in retro motion. Like if earth gets hit by a planet twice its size, our location and spin direction could change. If the collision force is stronger than the outward force, we'd redirect

[Ledamonster]

@Ledamonster this fk-ing box is too small to explain anything! Anyway... If a black hole is a vaccuum... at some point in our universe was sucked through a black hole. As space matter collided against the black holes walls, it fused together. When we got spit out of the black hole, the direction of the planets was caused by the final bounce before being ejected. Sun is the center of the galaxy because it was the last and heaviest to be spit out of the black hole.

[ndyt]

@Ledamonster, that doesn't explain why it is accelerating. Acceleration also requires a force.

[Ledamonster]

@ndyt Think of a small penny vortex, you drop a penny in... you know the spin will increase when the space decreases as gravity pulls it in... What if we had to rotate at a certain speed to maintain our relativity to some unknown? In order to maintain that relativity we would have to accelerate because the distance would increase and if we decreased acceleration as space increased... it'd be like the penny when it falls into the penny pit at the bottom of the plastic penny vortex.

[Ledamonster]

@Ledamonster perhaps the unknown force has to do with the multiverses outside our own universe. They push against our universes space. If three walls are weak and the fourth wall is forcing us in a direction it would accelerate our expansion in the direction the stronger universe is pushing us in. Or maybe our interstellar medium is getting closer to a magnetizing force. Perhaps Carbon or Hydrogen has some unknown lover? ( : What's you're theory?

[ndyt]

@Ledamonster, science is not about pulling stuff out of your ass.

[TelescopeAtNight]

@InterstellarStudios Am I the only one who finds the prospect of the big freeze absolutely terrifying?

[kellydesmore]

@InterstellarStudios :) I agree...

[menu12345]

@InterstellarStudios it will expand and collapse on itself then expand again its probably a never ending cycle

[puncheex]

@KOTP10142: Good, god, it's not anything that anyone but a nut would call an incredible rate. It is a rate such that our galaxy will be the only one visible after 100 billion years, 7 times the age of the universe. The rest of your posting is rubbish. There is no limit, it will never stop expanding (unless we happen to be living in a closed geometry, which is very unlikely), time will not reverse, and the universe as we know it won't end, because we DO know it.

[TheNovaAxon]

@KOTP10142

What force should stop it from expanding then?

Its probably a force that has been absent for more than 14 bln years. Explain plz

[roont]

@KOTP10142

If by soon you mean 40 trillion years or thereabout.

[rodeheavers]

wow, that really makes me believe in God.

[Kevzdacowz]

God's a great guy, you should get to know him :)

[fiercedeitylinkx]

exactly! me too!

[idkmm7]

omg the universe is speeding up, dark matter, we barely scratched the surface lol

[Singerazboi100]

I was replying to someone.

[Gestaposaurus]

ohh, sorry :]

[Singerazboi100]

...um I was not talking about the show.

[amh1230]

hahaha seriously. you don't even have to click "more info".

[xobellalove]

whats that job called? i wanna do it!

[Jooodieful]

Uhh, astrologist?

[FredsMusicManager]

Even @ 360p videos load terribly slow.

[xSamiSDx4]

Indeed that is some really good HD but this is 720p imagine how good the 1080p will look lol!!!!!!!!!

[Singerazboi100]

when is it comming out?

[IIIKrazyKiDDIII]

Now that is the best HD I've seen on youtube

[Gearheaded7]

april?! why not tomorrow?!

[macman1138]

Earth is a proper noun. Remember that when writing.

[puncheex]

@macman1138: Uhhhh, unless you are talking about dirt - you know, the common clay...

:)

[2xtream]

I'm partial to earth.

[assassin34563]

so much room out in space, :) but were stuck in a little ball between the earth and the moon, only probe robots got to mars and that kinda of stuff but humans cant make it past the moon, lol and the nearest star is like 4.1 to 4.5 light years , so it will take you 4 years to get there but you have to go at the speed of light, i am hoping that happens some time, we go there and see any living forms just like us or 100% different from us, it is really cool thinking about it.

[leonel1982]

Ah! I know the astronomer on 2:15 - 2:16!

[MyzzTy]

wow...that is amazing...our universe....!

[2401PenitentTangent7]

Quite nicely done.

[BellowSucks]

no no we'll be dead in 2k12 ;)

[SGeier001]

Just watched a screening of this movie. Nicely done. Certainly beats most of the pop-science out there, by not trying to sell today's shiny attention-grabber but establishing the path that telescope-based science has gone through the centuries and only then attempting a brief glimpse into the possible future.

[xcntrystar09]

Great information

[TheWwweee]

what the song?

[InterstellarStudios]

The song is from the original soundtrack which is available from iTunes.

[TeeMishion]

Agreed.

[hiian123]

beuatiful video

[almondtealeaf2]

Wow, seeing how vast space is tells me that there is more out there to discover.

However I think if interstellar travel were possible humans wouldn't be able to fly beyond the solar system for probably another 400 years or maybe even longer than that.

Too bad we haven't discover the ability to warp through time and space yet.

[CosmicJelly]

Could someone fill me in on what 2:23 is about?

[kb3glo]

it's called the red shift, which is when the doppler effect is seen when something is moving away from or toward an observer, and the wavelength of light is changed. so if a galaxy is moving away, it will appear more red, since red light has a long wavelength. if the galaxy is moving toward an observer, it will appear blue.

[knoxvilleguy2]

We are the substance of the universe taking a look at itself via telescopes, microscopes, images & readouts from partical accelerators. This can hack away at an individual human's ignorance very fast.

[jfuerhd]

Whats for a music ?????

[vebbto]

I just love this video! :D 5 stars!

[jfuerhd]

Do you now the music for this video ?

[scootergreen3]

See my stargazer video for Kids!!!

[lolitovas]

LoL I

[inventorr77]

I second lolitovas LOL

[inventorr77]

It's not the first time science took a wrong turn. Edwin Hubbell was a genius, but like astronomers Galileo and Copernicus, "red-shift" theory is just wrong. Explain why no one ever observed a "blue-shifted" stellar light spectrum? In other words, why haven't any astronomers ever observed a star (sun) out there moving toward us? The more we learn, the more we realize we don't know... and the biggest obstacle to the progression of our understanding is our illusion of knowledge.

[keggerous]

we have found stars moving toward us. infact in a billion years they think the milkyway galaxy and another one, which im unsure of, will impact. however, most likely none of the stars will hit each other.

[DtCKclan]

one word Andromeda

[Texanglo]

The universe is expanding. Like the surface of an inflating balloon. Why would you expect things to be moving closer together?

[inventorr77]

I repeat, "...the biggest obstacle to the progression of our understanding is our illusion of knowledge."

[doctorsandas]

Thats good to know.. Do you have any examples to proove it?

[tezmazter]

you are right.

[teegees1]

so true...

[jaugernaut16]

+1 agreed

[puncheex]

@inventorr77: I know this is old, but in fact astronomers do see blue shifts. It was the premier way to find extra-terrestrial planets. They look for a star which shows alternating red and blue shifts, and indicates the star is counterbalancing a planet around their common center of gravity.

The stars in our galaxy show no preferential shift; the talk of red shifts occur when viewing other galaxies; indeed, galaxies outside our local group, where spatial expansion > gravity's force.

[swimfly2012]

music can do so much to a video

[JamesM23]

It looks like an interesting special, but it can't even compare to the History Channel's The Universe. I love The Universe.

[sweefoochin]

just saw it awesome video.....

[eskinol1]

which is the galaxy at 1:36? I'd love to have it for my wallpaper

[lilyannegrace]

That would be the Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104. Beautiful!

[inventorr77]

Sombrero Galaxy as photographed by Hubble telescope.

[armegeTOM]

my grandfather made a single locking mechanism for the hubble space telescope. i think thats totally sweet. seing how astromomy/astrophysics is my passion.

[MPV839]

This looks so awesome!

[boba5555]

Looks awesome.

[redhousej]

Can't wait for this! Looks amazing.

[Chouteau1]

good video!
