Big Bang Theory Addendum: Part One - The Laws of Thermodynamics

This is Part One of my addendum to my Big Bang Theory video I made a while back. A lot of posters have made comments about the Big Bang violating the Laws of Thermodynamics, so this first part of the video is dedicated to debunking those claims.

From the start you say you'll assume people who doubt this big bang theory have merely the education level of someone who browsed wikipedia, sounds like nerd rage to me, but anyway lots of good info on wikipedia- the entire wealth of human knowledge is effeceintly accessible on your desktop, this would be inconceivable to someone 100 years ago...I have a question though, if the big bang did happen where did it all start from, the focal point of the bang?

@Jammieg001 Don't get me wrong, I love Wikipedia and frequently use it myself. The problem is one is not a scholar after reading a wiki article. The physical principles of the Big Bang, and in fact, of almost anything but the most basic science, cannot be deeply understood by just browsing Wikipedia. This stuff takes YEARS to understand. For instance, the Big Bang didn't have a starting point in space. This takes a while to wrap one's head around.

Thank you! I get irritated when I hear people describe 1st law of termo as "matter is conserved." That's the law of conservation of mass. You also stated that matter is often created or destroyed in nuclear reactors. Is this accurate? It's been a while, but nuclear reactors (fission and fusion) have the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons going in than coming out. I know mass changes slightly since some of it goes into the energy of the nuclei. Is this what you meant?

[lucretius1]

What I mean is that while energy is always conserved in said reactions, mass is not. In common nuclear reactors, yes, the basic 'matter' is not created or destroyed. However, we can observe that in particle accelerators, when we smash two particles together at high velocities to search for elusive massive particles that will appear briefly from the energy present in the accelerator.

Hey welcome back luc, I hope you make more videos on physics. : )

[lucretius1]

If all goes as planned, I will be producing five more parts of this addendum, to address other claims.

absolutely wonderful, very nice video, please make more.

[skitzoLSD]

you have no right to be taking this much time off....i demand you sit back at that computer and make more videos to tickle my neurons.....annnnnd GO!

[SpenserF]

Hey great explanation of entropy. Its easy to misunderstand and you handled it very well.

[HermanDustyRhodes]

Where did the singularity come from that was supposed to have started the big bang?

[eoinroe]

Thanks for the video. Very interesting.

[hellknight1212]

Thanks you, every time i see some retard posting opposition to the big-bang based on the laws of thermodynamics... lets just say i Facepalm lol

[SSBBVideoKing]

Did you go to college to learn this? If so, what college did you go to?

[SaveTheEmos]

this dudes smart. i can understand everything perfectly unlike other vids

[lamarjlp914]

So does this show that by the first law of thermodynamics, the universe has always existed as energy?
