Is the Universe Infinite? PREVIEW

Enjoy this preview, in 1080p, of our newest Cosmic Journeys episode, "Is the Universe Infinite?" Look for the full episode next week. Here's fair warning: it's packed to the gills with ideas and head-spinning details. The text of this preview reads:

Since ancient times, we've looked into the night skies and wondered: how far do the stars stretch out into space? And what's beyond them? In modern times, we built giant telescopes that have allowed us to cast our gaze deep into the universe.

Astronomers have been able to look back to near the time of its birth. They've reconstructed the course of cosmic history in astonishing detail. From intensive computer modeling, and myriad close observations, scientists have uncovered found important clues to its ongoing evolution.

Many now conclude that what we can see, the stars and galaxies on out to the limits of our vision, may represent only a tiny fraction of all there is.

Does the universe go on forever? And where do we fit within it? How would the great thinkers have wrapped their brains around the far-out ideas on today's cutting edge?

it sucks that we will never get to explore any of these planets in our lifetime

thumbs up if you are eating while watching this !

It is my theory that the universe is expanding because of the gravity wave. Simultaneous expansion and acceleration is typical of a segment of a sin wave. It's like sound waves. As the wave moves the air is compressed and then expands. during the expansion, there is a period where the expansion rate increases. My theory also expalins dark matter, dark energy and makes black holes simple. It is explained here w [dot] waynemcmichael [dot] com [slash] iwt

@mikefromspace I don't pretend to understand it. I just recall reading it somewhere.

@Volcomnosie I explain this in my videos. Red shift is effect of progressive particle recycling during progressive decay, while progressive kinetics makes particles in heavenly bodies esp. larger ones inside the galactic bulge. Microwaves slow down permanently because they are kinetic waves loosing ground as they go.

[Volcomnosie]

@mikefromspace Well why do we have evidence that the universe is expanding, such as background radiation for the Big Bang and the fact that Galaxies are moving away from us and Galaxies that are 2x as far are moving 2x as fast same with Galaxies 3x, 4x and so on.

@Snakepliskinist I watched some of your videos with an open mind, and my initial impression is that you are a crackpot. Your use of vague and/or misused terminology is reminiscent of the book Dianetics by L Ron Hubbard. I didn't see any supporting math or indeed a cogent thesis. Nowadays M-theory branes are thought to be the causative agent of the universe, but the "brane" that contains the universe is finite within its specified dimensions. In short: the universe is finite.

[mikefromspace]

@Pinage That makes no sense, since elements at his theoretical 'edge of the universe' would have no way to function like ours here on earth, they'd have to be farther apart, so would galaxies, but the universe shows remarkable consistency! I explain unification on my channel.

[mikefromspace]

@Snakepliskinist The universe IS infinite Snakeman; because there was no big bang. I've explained this on my channel. It's proven and quite obvious to anyone trying to explain physics as just particles, not magical fairy dust that sucks or wiggles things together.

@nascar51523fan God lives in a time much slower than our own, he cannot even fart in the time it takes earth to have 1 day of time. Bible says how he measured out the seas from his hand. Also says he's of the 8th kingdom, one we will never know during our life in 7 levels of heaven, each having a slower timeflow than the next. It's about DeBrogie waves, particle masses, relatives. I explain some on my channel.

[mikefromspace]

@pogsx69x It is written in John that 7 levels of heaven exist. This is reflected in revelations "There are 7 kingdoms , 5 have fallen, 1 is , and 1 is yet to come."

Broken down into geometry I have explained why and how all we will ever know as reality exists inside those 7 possibles. It's on my channel.
