now I don't want to Spook you but

there's a chance that our entire Milky

Way galaxy is located in the so-called

space void it's a region where there's

relatively little matter compared to

other corners of the known universe and

it's much less dense than it is

elsewhere in the universe in other words

we might exist in an air bubble in a

cake if that's true it would mean that

we're even loner than we thought

H in our universe all the galaxies are

constantly moving away from each other

in order to understand how far they move

away scientists use something called the

hubo latra constant it's like a

speedometer but for Galaxies however

there's a cosmic mystery called the

Hubble tension it's challenging what we

know about the universe's expansion

scientists used to consider the Hubble

lator constant a reliable guide but our

recent observations question this

reliability the speeds we see in real

life don't match up with the distances

we count calculated and expected they

aren't sure why these measurements don't

add up researchers followed the moves of

supernovas and saw that the Universe

seems to expand faster around us than it

does overall as if it's actively

avoiding us specifically H after

considering this they began to assume

that we might all live in a cosmic

void Cosmic voids are vast empty spaces

between galaxies kind of like between my

ears they make our entire world looked

like a big sponge now let's go back to

the beginning just a fraction of a

second after the big bang right after

the beginning of everything the universe

was a hot compressed plasma it only had

very tiny variations in density called

Quantum

fluctuations after the big bang the

universe began to expand those Quantum

fluctuations grew together with it

creating regions of varying matter

density because of that the Universe

didn't expand everywhere uniformly

instead little claps of matter began to

gather together over a long period of

time creating massive structures

galaxies galaxies are arranged in huge

walls and filaments with enormous gaps

in between and these gaps are voids also

known as dark

space now these voids aren't truly empty

in fact they actually hold more than 15%

of the amount of matter found on average

throughout the entire universe they

still contain gas dust dark matter and

even stars and galaxies however they

have less density than regions with

galaxies about a tenth of the average

matter density which is why we consider

them nearly empty usually they'll have a

diameter ranging from about 30 to 300

million light years that is an enormous

distance even on a space scale for

comparison most planets and nebulas we

found so far have a distance of hundreds

and rarely thousands of light years away

from us in the case of voids if you were

in the middle of one it would just look

like seemingly Eternal Darkness the

closest Stars would be so far away that

they would be almost invisible to

you some of them are especially large

they're known as super voids the largest

known one was creatively named giant

void ooh it's so big it's impossible for

us to even imagine 1.5 billion Lighty

years away with a diameter of 1 to 1.3

billion light years yeah it's basically

a big dark vacuum but even this giant

vacuum isn't entirely empty the giant

void houses 17 separate Galaxy clusters

within its expanse however it might not

be the biggest emptiness in our universe

there's this thing called the CMB cold

spot it's this unusually large and

chilly area of our universe that we saw

through the microwaves it really stood

out on the map of our universe I with

its unexpectedly low temperatures and

scientists have spent many years trying

to figure out what the thing is in 2015

scientist proposed that this place might

be a supervoid and probably the largest

one ever being even more original when

this one they called it the great void

if it's true this place would be an

emptiness of about 1.8 billion Lightyear

in diameter about a thousand times

larger than typical voids not everyone

thinks that's possible posible so

scientists keep arguing over this one

there's another interesting Theory going

about this place one researcher

suggested that this place might have

been a trace on our collision with a

parallel world it's a pretty bold

hypothesis but unfortunately there's no

way for us to confirm or deny it with

our current Technologies in any case as

the universe expands these voids will

grow and the walls connecting Galaxy

clusters will stretch and break

eventually the voids will merge leaving

gravitationally bound Galaxy clusters as

islands in the expanding emptiness in

other words soon or later the great

emptiness will consume everything in our

world so it turns out we might be a rare

occasion in a supervoid when of the 15%

of matter this would explain why we're

surrounded by relatively few galaxies

this discovery if true challenges the

standard model of cosmology which we

created with Albert Einstein's help it

would mean that gravity in general

behaves differently than what we

expected according to the standard model

such a significant under density

shouldn't exist because of that

scientists will have to explore and

consider this idea thoroughly it might

just challenge our very basic

understanding of physics the scientists

call this the local hole the discovery

of the local hole May hold Clues to

explaining the FY Paradox maybe in in

this specific part of the universe where

we hang out the chance of intelligent

life developing anywhere nearby is very

low perhaps all of the sensient beings

hang out somewhere beyond our

supervoid but that doesn't mean we

should lose hope or that life anywhere

nearby is impossible in fact life in the

universe might be much more common than

we previously thought we know that the

inner planets like Mercury and Venus are

inhospitable due to exe conditions

however Venus looks interesting because

even though it's a crazy toxic Planet

scientists believe that it was very

earthlike in the past it could have even

hosted life unfortunately it was too

close to the Sun and all the nice

conditions evaporated over time but

there's a possibility of microbial life

surviving in its high altitude clouds

Mars a cold desert also might have been

a friendlier place in the past with

rivers and lakes though now it lacks a

protective atmosphere ancient life might

have existed there in that case it would

leave potential fossils and underground

microbes could still survive we've

discovered some signs of them but are

still debating whether this stuff was

truly organic or not the gas giants like

Jupiter and Saturn and ice giants are

not ideal for life but their moons offer

hope Europa has an ocean beneath its icy

surface making it a potential hot spot

in cetus releases water into space

carrying complex molecules that hint at

interesting possibilities and Titan is

especially unique it has liquid bodies

on its surface rivers and laks of

hydrocarbons while its frigid

temperatures aren't great for life

scientists Ponder if it might host life

with a different kind of chemistry

however it will take us decades to check

all these celestial bodies and study

them properly we haven't sent anything

so far since the times of Voyager 2 but

if we're lucky we might explore our

solar system during the 21st

century we might explore our solar

system during the 21st

century in any case there's a lot of

potential for life even in our solar

system alone not even mentioning all the

planets and galaxies we found nearby our

estimates suggest that the observable

universe the one we can see might host

around 5.3 trillion habitable worlds one

of the most likely candidate so far is

Kepler 186f it's a potential earthlike

Planet just 10% larger than Earth this

planet orbits a red dwarf star which is

a star a bit dimmer colder but more long

living than our sign and it's only about

490 Lighty years away which may sound

like a lot but remember what distances

we've discussed with super voids so even

if we really are in the supervoid we're

still lucky to have many galaxies and

planets around and if one day we'll find

a way to travel through the universe

leaving the local hole probably wouldn't

be a

problem our vast universe is home to

phenomena such as star devouring black

holes rapidly rotating pulsars radiant

nebuli birthing stars and countless

galaxies yet it may not be endless there

could be a distinct Edge a cosmic

boundary let's embark on a journey to

that possible Frontier

visualize the universe as a massive

layered structure at its core is Earth

enveloped by our solar system which is

in turn housed inside a Galaxy within

this Grand

universe as we journey beyond our solar

system passing by the planets from Mars

to Neptune we encounter the heliosphere

here the solar winds velocity plunges

dramatically giving way to the near

stagnant wind at the

heliopause beyond the ship faces the

force of the Interstellar wind two

remarkable emissaries from Earth Voyager

1 and Voyager 2 now reside in this

region they revealed the heliosphere

uneven shape venturing further an

asteroid belt known as the ort Cloud

becomes visible believed by some

scientists to Source Earthbound comets

Beyond lies the expansive Milky Way

spanning Around 106,000 light years

guiding our journey is a cosmic map

identifying our our location in the

lanaka

supercluster however there's more at a

greater scale the Hydra Centaurus

supercluster emerges at the universe's

maximum observable scale a surprising

Revelation awaits evidence suggesting a

universe boundary this Edge located an

astounding 10 billion light years away

is a testament to time and

evolution during such a lengthy Voyage

our sun might wither or explode and the

way might merge with the Andromeda

galaxy our Endo is the aidonis supervoid

a vast empty stretch spanning a billion

light years this void might result from

an unfathomable Collision our universe

meeting another this leads to a

tantalizing notion of multiple universes

where every choice leads to alternate

outcomes in parallel

realities imagine our universe as a

bubble eons ago another bubble Universe

brushed against ours their gravitational

interplay caused Cosmic distortions as

they separated a piece of our universe

might have been taken leading to the

creation of the aidonis

supervoid aradena supervoid covers a

region of space about 1 billion light

years in size this makes it one of the

largest known voids in the universe the

superwave is associated with the

so-called cold spot in the cosmic

microwave background radio radiation the

temperature in this spot is lower than

the average temperature of the

background

radiation the exact origin and nature of

aridon supervoid is still a subject of

research this object provides scientists

with a unique opportunity to study the

structure and evolution of the Universe

on large scales yet perceiving the

universe's entirety remains a challenge

like an ant on a basketball we see a

consistent Horizon due to our 3D

viewpoint but adding Dimensions could

change our perceptions could black holes

with their powerful gravitational

influence offer a passage to these other

Realms the vast expanse of our universe

is filled with intriguing structures

Mysteries and phenomena that continually

challenge our understanding of the

cosmos the arinis supervoid with its

immense size and enigmatic nature stands

as a testament to the universe's

capacity to astonish and confound us and

for those intrigued by the enigmatic

nature of black holes we invite you to

explore more in our other videos dive

deep into the mysteries of these Cosmic

Giants and join us on a journey of

understanding and

[Music]

wonder the universe is believed to have

started around 14 billion years ago with

a big bang and as far as we know it

hasn't stopped EXP expanding since then

but if it's so the universe must have

started somewhere right and there has to

be the center of the universe somewhere

out there well experts claim there's no

center of the universe neither is there

any center of the expansion it's the

same everywhere you see it's wrong to

imagine the Big Bang as an ordinary

explosion and the universe does not

expand from the center outward instead

as far as We Know the universe is

expanding equally in all

places in

1929 Edwin Hubble said he had managed to

measure the speed of galaxies that were

located at different distances from

Earth he discovered that the farther

they were the faster they were moving

away from us does it mean we are at the

center of the expanding

Universe unlikely it just means that the

universe is expanding at the same rate

everywhere and wherever you are it will

seem to you that you're at the center of

the

universe now about that big bang if you

watched a regular explosion in slowmo

you'd see material expanding out from a

central point right after the explosion

the center Remains the hottest point

later a spherical shell of material

starts growing moving away from the

center of the

explosion the process continues until

gravity stops this expansion but the big

bang was nothing like that it was an

explosion of space not an explosion in

space according to the most common

theory there was no before to speak of

no space and no time it means that the

Big Bang was very different from

anything we're used to and doesn't have

any Central Point even if we had been

able to observe it in real life we

wouldn't have seen an expanding edge

with empty space beyond

it the only thing we can detect now now

is a faint background glow it was left

by the hot primordial gases that existed

in the early

Universe this is called cosmic

background radiation and it's uniform in

all directions it can mean only one

thing it's not matter moving outward

from one point but space itself

expanding evenly at the same time the

idea that the universe is expanding

uniformly in all directions doesn't rule

out the possibility that somewhere out

there there's a denser and hotter place

that might be called the center of the

universe but as far as we can see

there's no sign of such a special point

the theory that the Universe should be

uniform is known as the cosmological

principle it appeared in

1933 not so long before that some

scientists believe that the Universe

only consisted of our home Galaxy if

this was the case we could definitely

consider the center of the Milky Way to

be the center of the

universe but in 1924 Hubble put an end

to that debate he showed there were

other galaxies besides our own but in

any case how we see the universe is

limited by the speed of light and the

finite time since the Big Bang occurred

even though the observable part of the

universe is very large it's likely tiny

in comparison to the entire universe

which may be infinite the universe might

have many shapes with or without an

identifiable Center and if it turned out

to have a center outside of the

observable universe this point or region

of space could be just one of many it

could be just like the center of our

galaxy which was considered to be the

center of the universe

before you're traveling through deep

space circling stars and entire

galaxies looks like this multicolored

neula will soon collapse under its own

weight and explode like a supernova now

let's carefully Circle this black hole

try not to get caught in its

gravitational field or it'll swallow you

like a space monster H wait what's that

strange structure right there it's a

glowing wall and if you look closely

each glowing dot is an entire galaxy

that wall has about 100,000 of these

galaxies the Milky Way has 100 billion

stars so this wall holds a quadrillion

that's 10 followed by 15 zeros of stars

just like our sun this giant structure

is called the South Pole wall it's

located about 500 million Lighty years

from Earth by comparison the closest

star to our home is Proxima centuri and

it's about 4.2 light years away Rockets

can cover that distance in about 73,000

years so the journey to the South Pole

wall may take longer than our solar

system exists and this wall is simply

gigantic even on a cosmic scale it's

about 1.37 billion light years long to

give you an idea of how large that is

the Milky Way is only 100,000 light

years wide but you can't see this wall

even with the most powerful telescope

the problem is that the Milky Way itself

obstructs your view it's so bright that

it's hiding this wall it's like trying

to look at the Starry Sky in a

metropolis the light pollution won't let

you do that scientists have been able to

detect this Galactic wall by measuring

red shift we know that all objects in

the universe are moving they spread out

from each other as a result of the Big

Bang which happened billions of years

ago and when galaxies move their light

waves change slightly by measuring this

change we can understand what the object

is and how it moves and this wall isn't

even the largest in our universe this is

the Hercules Corona Borealis Great Wall

it's a giant flat superstructure about

10 billion Lighty years wide that's

around 10% of the entire observable

universe and it's also a wall that is a

cluster of galaxies we were able to

detect this giant structure by gamma ray

bursts it's the brightest

electromagnetic event in the universe

you could even see it in the far reaches

of our universe such bursts are a very

rare event in the Milky Way for example

it happens once every few million years

if we notice many such bursts in a short

time from the same place it means that

there are many objects like the Milky

Way in that place so there are a lot of

galaxies out there another unusual giant

structure in the universe is the huge

large quazar group it's about 4 billion

light years across so it takes a photon

of light almost as long as our planet

has existed just to get from one side of

the structure to the other and if you

put the huge large quazar group on the

scale it would be 6.1 billion billion

times heavier than our sun scientists

have found that there are at least 73

quazars in that structure these are some

of the most unusual objects in the

universe they are the active cores of

galaxies at the center of a quazar is a

super massive black hole this giant eats

up the matter around it a wild force of

gravity twists the matter around the

black hole forming a disc and this disc

is the source of the strongest radiation

out there by comparison the radiation

from a single quazar is tens or 100 of

times stronger than that of all the

stars in our galaxy put together because

of such strong radiation we can detect

quazars even at very long distances

that's why they're also called beacons

of the universe scientists use quazars

to study the universe and the movement

within it one of the most distant

quazars from us is about 13.1 billion

light years away this makes it one of

the oldest objects in the universe it

appeared about 690 million years after

the big bang and it's almost three times

older than our solar system it's still

glowing with extreme brightness about 4

and 14 zeros times brighter than the sun

scientists explain that at the center of

the giant is a super massive black hole

800 million times heavier than the sun

all these giant structures are just

building blocks of our universe look

this is our solar system now zoom out a

little and this is where our home star

is in the Milky Way Galaxy zoom out

again here's a local group of galaxies

all the bright spots here are galaxies

here's Andromeda and here's the

triangulum Galaxy plus a few dozen other

slightly smaller galaxies they're all

gravitationally connected the size of

this structure is about 10 million

Lighty years that's 100 times the width

of our galaxy zoom out please this one

is the Virgo super cluster it's 20 times

larger than the local group there are

about 30,000 different galaxies and the

mass of the whole thing is about 1 in 15

Zer solar masses zoom out again layak

Kia this structure is almost three times

larger it includes the Virgo super

cluster and other smaller clusters and

there are about 100,000 galaxies here

huh it's not over yet zoom out one more

time here's the Pisces cetus

supercluster complex this giant Galactic

structure contains about 60 clusters of

galaxies so there are more galaxies in

it than grains of sand in the desert you

know what to do zoom out phew this is

the observable universe there are over

500 billion galaxies and the Stars well

there are about 1 billion trillion Stars

the observable universe has its own

structure clusters of galaxies form

chains and walls as you've seen before

but these strands are separated by huge

regions of absolute emptiness these

areas are called voids in these places

there is no matter at all there are

fewer molecules in the voids than in an

empty room one of these voids has a very

mystical reputation it's the aridness

supervoid or the cold spot it appeared

here only 38,000 years after the big

bang it's almost 1 billion Lighty years

wide and could hold hundreds or

thousands of galaxies with trillions of

stars some scientists believe that this

cold spot may have been the result of

the large lest Collision ever a

collision of universes there's a theory

that our universe is some kind of bubble

a huge sphere that contains all these

walls and chains of galaxies now imagine

that there's an infinite number of these

bubbles they could be parallel worlds or

different universes many years ago one

bubble came close to the bubble of our

universe their walls touched and the two

universes connected for a while it's

like two drops of water coming together

but that Universe kept moving the area

where the bubbles joined became thinner

and thinner until that connection broke

and the two bubbles detached from each

other at this point the second Universe

ripped some of the material out of our

bubble all those galaxies that used to

fill the aridis supervoid ended up in a

parallel universe scientists supposed we

might travel through other bubbles

flying to the supposed wall of our

universe would take forever and then it

would take even longer to fly through

inter univ IAL space so we have to use

portals or wormholes here's how it works

imagine a piece of paper with point a on

one side and point B on the other

instead of moving all the way across the

sheet of paper we just fold the sheet so

that point a is right above point B all

that's left to do is make a small hole

and the journey takes only moments some

scientists believe that such shortcuts

through universes lie inside black holes

but how do you survive falling into a

black hole you just have to pick one

that's big enough it's all about gravity

imagine you're falling into a black hole

right now the closer you get to it the

stronger effect it has on you it

intensifies with every inch at one point

the gravitational force that affects

your head is much stronger than the one

that affects your feet then you turn

into spaghetti yum but if you choose a

super massive black hole like the ones

at the centers of galaxies the

gravitational force in them increases

gradually they can be millions of times

heavier than the Sun and much bigger but

the gravitational force on your head and

your feet will be almost equal and you

will still feel comfortable who knows

maybe if you manage to survive a fall

into such a massive black hole you'd

find yourself in a completely different

Universe where different laws of physics

apply but so far this is just a

[Music]

theory there are probably 36 other

civilizations hanging out in the Milky

Way and over 170 billion galaxies give

or take in the observable universe

conditions for life are all over space

so where is

everybody nuclear physicist enrio fery

came up with this exact same question

during a lunch break with his colleagues

in 1950 leading to one of the most

unsettling paradoxes in the

universe even though there's a huge prob

ability of extraterrestrial

civilizations existing we still haven't

found any clear evidence of

them when possible explanation comes

from the zoo

hypothesis it suggests that advanced

extraterrestrial socities exist and know

exactly who we are and where we are but

intentionally choose to stay hidden

they're just observing human quirky

behaviors as if we're in some kind of a

cosmic Wildlife Park

but their intentions could be much

darker If You're a Star Trek fan you

probably remember the main rule for

Federation members Starfleet officers

shouldn't contact species that are not

Advanced to avoid messing with their

development even if it means risking

their own lives now even though it's

fiction this rule perfectly captures

what the zoo hypothesis is all about

beings from other corners of the

universe see our planet as a cosmic zoo

with one-way bars they can watch us

brushing our teeth in the morning or

walking our dog but we can't catch a

glimpse of

them in this Theory non-terrestrial life

forms deliberately keep their distance

from us sticking to a hands-off policy

agreement in the vast Cosmic

neighborhood it's like those super smart

beings agreed that we needed to have the

freedom to shape our own future and

Destiny following in our own path of

development without external

contamination the idea is that these

super Advanced civilizations could be

like oh I don't know 500 million years

ahead of us which would explain why we

haven't seen any signs of them and maybe

it's better this way as humans could

eventually be destroyed or even

assimilated by this new cosmic power

Independence Day

style as much as things like going to an

art museum might be interesting to us

extraterrestrials probably wouldn't be

too thrilled watching us stare at the

Mona Lisa painting for

hours interplanetary cultures might be

more into buying tickets to quietly

observe how we're developing new

technologies such as ultramodern

satellites according to the zoo Theory

they can't reach out to us until we hit

a certain level of development so

improving our technology and wisdom

could be the only way to show them that

we're mature enough and don't need their

spaceship parenting

anymore there are a couple of reasons

why it's hard to buy into the zoo

hypothesis I mean okay extraterrestrials

might not visit or reach out because

we're not all that advanced but it is

tough to explain why they keep ignoring

all our attempts to communicate even if

the zookeepers try their best not to

interfere with animals lives and

behaviors I bet they couldn't just

ignore a bear speaking in loud and clear

English about its desire to communicate

so that's pretty much why humans keep

trying and trying to provoke some

reaction from inhabitants of other

planets using radio

signals in 2017 in a Valley 8 Mi

southeast of the Norwegian city of truma

a radar antenna transmitted some

specially composed electronic music to

potential Intergalactic listeners the

target audience was in GJ 273 also known

as light and star it's a runty red dwarf

located 12 light years from our Solar

System since radio waves travel at the

speed of light we'll have to wait more

than two decades before looking for a

reply but the main problem with radio

ways is that we're kind of in the dark

about where to look and civilizations

might be as far as 177,000 light years

away plus we don't know which radio

frequency extraterrestrials use to chat

now here on Earth we use the radio

spectrum to send signals into the

universe assuming that what works for us

might be a common method for other

civilizations but in fact it could be

considered a somewhat old school

technique for other beings that's why

current projects are now looking for

techno signatures which are signs of

technological activity from

extraterrestrials like City Lights solar

panels Mega structures or artificial

satellites

another potential clue is to study the

atmospheres of planets orbiting nearby

stars as an advanced civilization might

be altering its atmosphere with

different gases making it detectable

despite Decades of observations there is

still no definitive evidence that

advanced extraterrestrial civilizations

are out there but that doesn't mean they

don't

exist even by expanding search Fields

we're talking about odds much Slimmer

than hitting the jackpot with with a

roughly 1 in three billion chance of

finding an advanced civilization within

a given distance from

Earth maybe space creatures are

responding to our communication attempts

but in a way that we can't understand

the universe has been around for more

than 133 billion years while humans

showed up just 200,000 years ago and

this is about

0.01% of the universe's age it's like

we're still learning to talk while other

super smart beings might be sending us

messages that are all Lost in

Translation we keep waiting for a giant

UFO to land on Earth and for green ETS

with huge eyes to come out of it but we

forget that our Intergalactic neighbors

could be more interesting in building

Nano Technologies to watch over us they

could also be trying to communicate

using neutrinos which are subatomic

particles with an extremely small mass

that could effortlessly pass through our

planet without being detected by our

current technological iCal

devices now the zoo hypothesis has

another issue it is pretty tough to

believe that with all these

civilizations supposedly hanging out in

the universe they would all decide not

to reach out to

humans for this to happen there would

have to be a great sense of structure

with a higher intelligence working as

the head of the universe giving them

direct orders and clear rules to keep us

isolated but we're talking about

billions of possibili ities for life

right more civilizations mean that there

are more chances of a violation of this

no contact

rule so most likely at least one

independent Planet would be just as

desperate to find life in the universe

as we are some scientists also believe

that if such Advanced life had

substantially colonized Earth and many

other planets we would know it by

now the zoo hypothesis has two other

variations that are even more

frightening in the laboratory hypothesis

nobody contacts us because humankind is

actually being subjected to experiments

and Earth is essentially a giant science

lab other worldly creatures could be

analyzing human responses to various

survival challenges such as tsunamis or

massive

earthquakes in this case the no contact

agreement between all other space groups

would make a bit more sense

since it's in the name of scientific

research for the greater good at least

for

them the planetarium hypothesis proposed

in 2001 suggests that we are living in

an artificial Universe in some kind of

virtual reality designed to give us the

illusion that the universe is empty when

it's not but no possible generator could

test this

hypothesis besides the zoo the

laboratory and the planetarium theories

there is another possible answer to the

fmy Paradox nobody contacts us because

humans are completely alone in the

universe this is known as the rare earth

hypothesis and it emphasizes how Earth

occupies an incredibly unique position

no other planet could bring life to the

universe that could be more than just

bacteria we may consider ourselves

pretty lucky as even a small change in

any of Earth's orbital parameters like

the distance from the Earth to the Sun

or the rate of rotation could make

conditions too extreme for people or

life in

general but again it's hard to think

that we are alone in this vast universe

so we're back to the Paradox where is

everybody the universe is expanding and

if it's expanding then it probably had a

beginning somewhere now all we have to

do is to run time backward and see where

the beginning was it took the scientists

many more years to come up with a

full-fledged Theory The Big Bang Theory

and here it is nothing has ever been

anywhere because neither when nor where

existed but actually

no there was one thing it was the

so-called Cosmic Singularity a state of

our universe in which it was incredibly

small dense and very very hot imagine if

our universe was compressed into a small

ball the pressure and temperature in

side would be enormous at some point it

became impossible to withstand them and

here comes the Big Bang it was an

outburst of energy and matter that

created everything we see now time and

space basic physical

forces it also scattered quarks

everywhere these quarks tiny particles

that make up our world were all boiling

in an incredibly hot Cosmic broth when

it cooled down gravity began to attract

them to each other they gathered into

atoms

then molecules and then into the first

objects in the world

stars but what was before that Alan

Harvey goth an American theoretical

physicist and cosmologist has devoted

his whole life to solving this mystery

after learning about the Big Bang Theory

Guth found some flaws in it for example

the distribution of matter was very even

although it shouldn't have been if we

drop the balloon filled with paint down

it will burst will'll see absolute Chaos

on the canvas but the early Universe

don't looked like the early Universe was

very even and proportional that was

guth's Discovery the theory of inflation

here's what it says even before the Big

Bang there was some kind of force that

could give the bang a strong

acceleration something that was able to

distribute everything in space instantly

and evenly Martin booval is a German

professor of physics and in his opinion

the universe was born quite differently

according to Martin's Theory The

Singularity couldn't just appear out of

nowhere let's look at a pendulum on the

Old Clock the pendulum rotates back and

forth its movement is smooth continuous

and non-stop this is how we usually see

time it flows and never stops but

Quantum time doesn't work that way it

consists of small segments and makes

short pauses just like with the second

hand of a clock the beginning of one

segment of time is always the end of

another according to the Big Bang Theory

Once Upon a Time our universe began to

expand inflate like a

balloon but sooner or later it will blow

away back the universe will start

shrinking and return to the state of

cosmic Singularity and then Big Bang too

nothing appears out of nowhere and

disappears into nowhere

according to boal's Theory the beginning

of each universe is the end of the

previous one our universe is not at all

the first and not the last millions of

similar universes existed before us and

will exist after us this Theory although

it sounds very logical is far from

complete so for now all this is just a

hypothesis but some people come up with

even stranger ideas Neil Turok a South

African physicist and his colleague Paul

steinhardt an American theoretical

physicist they say that yes our universe

isn't the first one our universe is just

one of an infinite number of others and

all of us are stuck in a cycle of

endless rebirths of parallel worlds

according to this Theory our universe is

located inside a so-called brain as in

membrane in other words we're stuck in

some kind of elastic surface that's

capable of Contracting stretching

oscillating and so on like pieces of

fabric on a rope another universe may be

an inch from ours but we can't see it

that's because there's a tiny space

between us and this tiny space contains

the fourth dimension how do these

universes originate through brain

Collision these brains are getting

closer to each other very very slowly

until they finally Collide their

Collision creates two big bangs and two

parallel

universes then they're moving away from

each other the cre created worlds

continue to live we're currently at this

stage remember the inflation Theory

there was a mysterious energy that

pushed and accelerated the Big Bang well

if we did Collide With Another Universe

that would explain everything which idea

is closer to you how about the idea of

subscribing

subscribe there are a lot of unanswered

questions in physics how did Universal

energy and matter appear where did

Gravity come from and much more we've

been trying for years to get answers to

these questions and one of the people

who tried to do this was paramahamsa

toari the author of the so-called space

Vortex Theory what is this Theory and

what does it say about the hidden laws

of our universe let's figure it

out Pama Hamza tiwari was the former

executive director of the nuclear power

Corporation India he took the space

Vortex Theory or SVT for short first

proposed by Renee deart and finalized it

he was always inspired by physics and

its greates even since his days as an

electrical engineering student after

rigorous studies of the laws of physics

he discovered new equations defining

matter and the mass and charge of the

electron after that he came up with the

SVT this Theory tried to explain the

unexplained phenomena in physics

including the creation of the electron

and gravitational electrostatic and

electromagnetic energy Fields as well as

other things it also described the six

hidden laws of the universe that underly

our entire world but first of all let's

talk about the theory

itself space Vortex Theory suggests that

the universe is made up of vortices or

swirling patterns of energy and

according to SVT these vortices are the

fundamental building blocks of the

universe they're the driving force

behind the laws of physics and the

fundamental principles of our world

basically everything in the universe is

connected and interconnected through

these

vortices this Theory isn't very based on

any real observations but rather on

mathematical models and computational

modeling for example some computational

models showed how these vortices work in

hydrodynamics and plasma physics they

showed that vortices in such systems can

have a central point of Attraction and

can be

interconnected other models were used to

study how the energies inside the

vortices move and how they can create

different frequencies and

vibrations but some experts have

criticized SVT for using only models and

simulations the biggest criticism is

that this Theory can't actually be

tested it relies on mathematics and not

on some experimental data that's why

it's not accepted as a mainstream

scientific theory but it's still quite

interesting and provides a unique

perspective on the universe and our

understanding of the laws of physics for

example according to SVT the universe

has some underlying hidden rules that

cause the creation of fundamental matter

their assembly and movement what are

these laws and what do they say well

let's take a look at

them law one the universe has only one

primordial entity space I.E absolute

vacuum that structures matter this law

states that space is the fundamental

building block of the universe and that

it's responsible for structuring matter

it suggests that space is the

fundamental entity that creates and

maintains the structure of matter and

that all matter in the universe is made

up of the same fundamental particles

like electrons and

positrons let's try to put it in simple

words imagine that the universe is like

a big Lego set just like how all the

Lego bricks are made up of the same

basic building blocks the universe is

made up of the same fundamental building

blocks too and these blocks are called

electrons and

positrons but what holds these blocks

together space of course space gives it

shape and structure just like how the

plastic container holds all the Lego

bricks together in a set so the first

law states that space is the fundamental

building block that structures matter

and holds everything together in the

universe law two matter is constituted

with multiples of only one kind of

fundamental particles electrons and

positrons this law states that all

matter in the universe is made up of the

same fundamental particles the electron

and positron these two are the Lego

blocks we've talked about before and

according to the second law these tiny

invisible particles make up everything

from a tiny atom to a giant Galaxy just

like no matter what the shape or size

our Lego build is it's still made up of

the same building

blocks law three the field distribution

in space as recognized by contemporary

physics linked with and emanating from

matter are effects arising from only one

fundamental field in space this law

states that the fields recognized by

contemporary physics such as the

electromagnetic and gravitational fields

are effects arising from a single

fundamental field in space it suggests

that this fundamental field is

responsible for creating everything that

we observe in the universe so let's try

to put it simply this time imagine that

the universe is like a big playground

all the different fields we observe such

as the gravitational and electromagnetic

fields are like different games we play

in there but no matter what we play

we're still in one fundamental space

this is the playground itself it's the

base that holds everything together

according to the Third Law Without The

Playground we wouldn't be able to play

any games and without this fundamental

field in space we wouldn't be able to

observe any fields in the

universe law four there is no void in

space anywhere in the whole universe

except at the centers of the fundamental

particles of matter electrons and

positrons this law states that there's

no truly empty space in the universe and

that all space is filled with the

fundamental field the one we talked

about

before it says that electrons and

positrons can be found everywhere and

even the things we consider to be empty

like vacuum are actually full of tiny

particles and according to this law the

only truly empty spaces we can find in

the universe are at the centers of the

fundamental particles electrons and

positrons law five from only one

fundamental Universal constant all the

constants considered universal in

contemporary physics are

derivable this law states that all the

constants considered universal in

contemporary physics can be derived from

a single fundamental Universal constant

it suggests that all the constants in

physics are interconnected and can be

explained by a single fundamental

principle I know you've been doing a lot

of imagining lately but bear with

me this time please imagine the universe

as a big recipe all the constants in

physics such as the speed of light the

gravitational constant and the plank

constant are like the ingredients

they're very different and there are

tons of them but just like how all the

ingredients in a recipe are

interconnected and come together to make

one dish all the constants in physics

come together to make the

universe and just like how a recipe has

a main ingredient that holds everything

together physics also has a single

fundamental constant that holds

everything

together law six the spatial structure

of sub microcosmic fundamental matter is

repetitive uniformly in the spatial

structures of macrocosmic bodies like

planets stars and

galaxies this law states that the

structure of the fundamental particles

that make up matter is repetitive and

uniform across all scales from subatomic

particles to macrocosmic bodies like

planets stars and galaxies it suggests

that the same fundamental principles

govern the structure of matter at all

scales let's go back to the analogy with

the recipes and cooking using different

ingredients and combining them in

different ways the chef can create new

dishes these will all be different

different dishes and they can be very

simple or very complex but when creating

them the chef still applies the same

basic rules and knowledge they have

right and just like that the Universe

also creates different structures from

atoms to planets stars and

galaxies but it still uses the same

fundamental principles to create all

these things so this law suggests that

the structure of the fundamental

particles that make up matter is

repetitive and uniform across all scales

these are the six fundamental laws of

the universe according to the SVT and

even though it's not accepted by

mainstream science it's still a pretty

interesting

concept look at these two pictures at

first glance one might think well aren't

they showing the exact same thing truth

is they don't but both these subjects

are some of the most complex structures

humans have ever had the chance to study

the first image shows a cluster of

galaxies from our universe the second is

just a small neuron in the human brain

after seeing these images some were

quick to compare them is the universe

nothing more than a huge

brain now let's not get too excited

before we go into describing all the

similarities between the universe and

the human brain there is something we

need to be aware of it's a little thing

called aania and it's it's when our

brains make up similarities between two

objects that are seriously unrelated the

best example is when we look at clouds

and start to see all sorts of cute

animals and weirdly shaped objects we

might be doing the same thing when

looking at those two initial pictures

maybe it's just our brain making up

similarities where there aren't

any some scientists became fascinated

with this huge brain Universe idea they

wanted to make sure it was not just a

weird coincidence

there had to be a way they could measure

How the Universe compares to the mushy

organ inside our heads so they started

with the brain it's probably one of the

most complicated things we know in the

whole universe that's because it's

packed with more than 80 billion neurons

these cells are responsible for taking

information from our senses and sending

out messages all over our body try to

think of neurons as workers in a factory

they don't just do their work they

actually communicate with each other

thanks to these elements called axons

and dendrites the axons are responsible

for carrying electrical signals away

from the neuron's body to other neurons

or muscles dendrites on the other hand

have the task of receiving that

information all of them together make

this Mega network of about 100 trillion

connections the universe is one big

social network itself too but this time

it's made up of galaxies you might

picture the universe as stars and

planets with a ton of empty space

between them it's not quite right what

we can see and measure is known as the

observable universe and it's really vast

think about 90 billion Lighty years

across containing hundreds of billions

to maybe a few trillion of galaxies

these galaxies like the one we're

standing in at this very moment are

bundled together in groups our Milky Way

is friends in a way with galaxies like

Andromeda and triangulum and altogether

they're a family called the local group

this family of galaxies is part of an

even bigger Bunch called the Virgo super

cluster from what we can tell the space

between them might not be empty it's

filled with these threads made up of

regular matter but there might also be

this mysterious Dark Matter doing its

thing scientists didn't stop there they

decided to take it a bit further they

started by examining thin slices of the

human cortex the part responsible for

our thoughts memories and even our

Consciousness The Next Step was to

compare them with equally thin slices of

the Universe from a computer simulation

now it's obvious there's this enormous

size difference between the brain and

the universe but the way they looked at

it kind of made them somewhat comparable

as they zoomed in think 40 times

magnification these scientists began

noticing that the structures were very

much alike at this Zoom the brain's

neural network looked like the

universe's Galaxy

clusters to make sure they weren't just

imagining things they used two clever

methods the first one looked at how

these networks connected and how densely

packed they were they noticed that the

middle part of a neuron or its nucleus

is way tinier compared to its connecting

fragments likewise Galaxy clusters are

tiny when you look at the super long

connecting thread between them the

second method was about checking how

organized these networks were versus

just being random they looked at how

everything was structured around each

connection Point whether it was a neuron

in the brain or a Galaxy cluster in the

universe the resemblance doesn't stop

there we know that our brain is mostly

water about 70% to be precise now the

cosmic web in space it too has about 70%

of something only this time it's dark

energy water and Dark Energy may not be

the most important elements in each of

their structures but they might still

play a part in how everything sets up

the analogy continues you see the space

we' need on a computer to map out the

universe is almost the same as our

brain's memory storage somewhere in the

ballpark of 2.5 pedabytes so

theoretically a chunk of the universe

could fit in our brains or flip that and

our entire life's memories could get

stored in the universe's Network there

are differences too and we have to be

aware of them to make sure we're

assessing things properly for starters

the universe is pretty much the same all

over it doesn't change its composition

that much regardless of where you travel

in the observable area but our brain not

so much different parts have different

jobs also our brain connections send

information depending on things like

what you're seeing or touching on the

flip side the universe's links are Just

Energy there's also a difference between

how these two structures came to be it

turns out that the patterns we see when

we're gazing up at the stars are all

shaped by gravity and some weird unseen

Force called Dark Matter massive

fireworks in space called Supernova can

also affect this Cosmic wallpaper on the

opposite side of the spectrum our brains

got their shape From Evolution

that long process where animals

including us get to pass on the best

features and data they've learned to

their offspring so if a trait like a

certain shape of the brain helped our

ancestors Dodge a hungry tiger that

trait got passed down our brains are

also built the way they are because

they're supposed to act like a super

highway for our thoughts quick thinking

was crucial for people back in the day

when they needed shelter from wild

animals or the

elements now especially if you're you're

a fan of sci-fi literature you might be

wondering if the universe is like this

immense brain what might its body look

like we might as well be living in

someone else's head we like to think of

humans as evolved intelligent and at

times hard to understand creatures but

what if we're just tiny neurons in a

larger more complex

structure well for the time being we can

only let our imaginations run wild

there's no way we can test at this point

what's outside our universe by all means

we don't even know how large It Is by

looking at the parts we can see the

estimations are that the universe is

about 95 billion light years in diameter

even if we'd somehow manag to travel at

the speed of light though that seems a

bit impossible at the moment too it

would take an enormous amount of time to

reach those supposed edges of the

universe there's also the theory of the

Multiverse we don't have much tangible

proof of this idea either but it does

claim we live in a universe out of many

ours has time and space other worlds may

have different rules and components life

may look differently out there in ways

we can't even

understand having a better understanding

of the universe is just as important as

figuring out our brains you see we still

have many Unsolved Mysteries right here

under our noses or behind our noses to

be more precise there are a lot of

things we've yet to figure out about the

human brain like how we store and

retrieve memories we know that each time

we learn some new piece of information

our brain changes but we don't have the

entire process mapped out and it looks

like it might take a while before we

fully understand

it imagine the universe as a gigantic

elastic balloon that's steadily being

inflated that's what Dark Energy seems

to be doing forcing galaxies further

apart could this Force lead to the end

of the universe some scientists do think

so and they've named this potential

event the Big

Rip it's challenging to study Dark

Energy even though it's one of the most

fascinating aspects of our Cosmos that's

because it's only visible effect is this

gentle stretching of space on any

smaller scale it's virtually

undetectable compared to Dark Energy

studying Dark Matter feels like a walk

in the park even though it's just as

invis I Dark Matter leaves clear

evidence of its existence it latches

onto galaxies and Galaxy clusters

bending light and altering gravity dark

energy on the flip side just expands

nonetheless scientists have found ways

to examine it mostly by observing the

universe's expansion as WE peer into the

distance we are in fact peering back in

time tracing the universe's

Evolution Dark Energy could also bring

about about the end of the universe in a

massive catastrophic event imagine

watching helplessly as reality itself

tears apart with no hope of Escape

frighteningly it's not some far-fetched

scenario the available data does not

eliminate the possibility of a big rip

is dark energy a force that keeps

inflating the universe or is it more

like a

separator if two galaxies are far away

from each other they're driven further

apart leading to increasing Cosmic

isolation but anything that's already a

strong structure stays intact immune to

this divisive

Force why doesn't it mess things up you

ask well it's because Dark Energy

remains consistent as space grows bigger

the density of dark energy remains

steady imagine drawing a circle anywhere

in space taking note of the amount of

dark energy there do it again after a

billion years and guess what the the

amount of dark energy inside your circle

won't change even though space itself

has

expanded that is unless of course dark

energy has a trick up its sleeve and

proves to be more potent than a

cosmological constant all we know for

sure is that it's something that drives

the universe to expand more rapidly or

to put it another way it creates

negative pressure now negative pressure

might sound odd pressure is usually seen

as an outward Force right but in the

universe it behaves differently pressure

is a type of energy like mass that

attracts rather than repels all these

calculations are what makes the Big Rip

picture a slow unraveling movie the

first objects affected are the most

massive Loosely bound structures like

giant clusters of galaxies their

gravitational pull will start weakening

causing them to drift away into the

growing Cosmic voids next we notice

stars on the outskirts of our galaxy not

following their usual paths but instead

drifting away like party guests saying

their goodbyes the night sky would then

start to dim as our Milky Way would

gradually

evaporate the disaster would just

Accelerate from there the orbits of the

planet would begin to shift spiraling

outward just months before the end after

we've lost the outer planets Earth would

drift away from the Sun and the Moon

from Earth we would plunge into the

darkness

alone the Stillness of Solitude won't

last however any remaining structure

would be destroyed because of the

expanding space the Earth's atmosphere

would start to thin gravitational shifts

would cause chaotic tectonic movements

in the final hours Earth would fall

apart Beyond this point the destruction

would continue unseen nuclei the ultra

dense cores within atoms would

disintegrate next black holes dense

cores would get obliterated in the last

instance space itself would just r rip

apart bad as it may sound we may never

rule out the threat of a big rip however

it might takes so long that all Cosmic

structures will have decayed before it

happens a rough calculation suggests the

earliest big rip could be in about 200

billion years technically the sun still

has about 5 billion years before it

fades away naturally so by the time this

event might happen our solar system

would have long been gone nonetheless

give us the possible implications

scientists are placing a high priority

on understanding the big RIT let's be

optimistic though I mean if we look at

the universe's history we should

consider ourselves lucky we're in what

cosmologists refer to as the lumeris era

it means that right now the universe is

still pretty busy producing new stars

and we know how important these

celestial bodies are for maintaining

Life as we know it however the Golden

Age of star formation was about 10

billion years ago ever since that Peak

the rate of creating new stars has been

on the decline now why is the universe

taking this early retirement it's not

because it's lazy or tired in fact it's

exactly because we're living in this

expanding

Universe for a new star to appear a

bunch of matter needs to be squeezed

into a relatively small space it's like

trying to stuff all your clothes into a

very very small suitcase as the Universe

expands the matter is getting spread out

leading to less and less room in that

suitcase for creating new

stars the big freeze another theory

related to the end of the universe looks

at this scenario Stars will become IND

dangered and then extinct species this

period of star decline is what

astronomers like to call the degenerate

era it's estimated to start about 100

trillion years into the future what'll

be left in the night sky at at that

point only the hardened workers of the

universe white dwarfs neutron stars and

black holes white dwarfs and neutron

stars the remnants of medium and large

stars that have exhausted their nuclear

fuel will eventually cool off and

transform into black dwars these black

dwarfs are like invisible Cosmic Spirits

just hanging around without doing much

inert and unseen other neutron stars too

heavy for their own Good Will stumble

under their weight and collapse into

black holes further into the future the

universe will become a black holes only

party but even these Cosmic weirdos

can't cheat time forever black holes can

fade away too in fact this idea of

fading black holes came from a brilliant

mind you might have heard of Steven

Hawking he suggested that black holes

slowly shed energy in the form of

radiation until they shrivel up like

raisins and evaporate

completely eventually every single black

hole will have evaporated will be left

with a universe in its Twilight years

settling into its final age aptly named

the dark era at this point both light

and matter will be nothing but Distant

Memories and then well nothing if this

big freeze theory is correct the

universe will just remain in a quiet

dark State stretching into an eternity

where nothing else ever

happens most of these theories seem to

rely on the fact that the universe is is

expanding but what exactly is it

expanding into we can't help but wonder

if there's something else beyond our

universe right now this question is one

for which physics doesn't quite have an

answer for we don't have enough

facts one suggestion is that time and

space came to be with the big bang that

happened around 14 billion years ago so

logically there's nothing beyond the

universe however a huge chunk of the

universe is way out of our sight

existing beyond the part we can observe

which is about 90 billion Lighty years

in diameter because everything's pretty

much the same wherever you look in the

universe we can presume that the bits we

can't see would look pretty much like

the parts we can but that's just an

assumption now if the universe is

infinite there's nothing Beyond it right

I mean that's just what infinite means

on the other hand if it's finite and

growing you'd start to wonder if there's

a boundary or an edge like a un ival

Cliff that separates our universe from

whatever is beyond it it gets even more

complicated when you realize the

universe has at least four dimensions

three for space and one for time and

it's pretty much impossible for us to

picture what that might look

like now when we say the word Universe

we're already picturing this vast space

filled with stars planets and comets

truth is most of us find it hard to

actually picture how large the universe

is well try to think of space as the

biggest playground you've ever seen

right now our space playground goes on

for 46 billion light years it wasn't

always like that on that note you've

surely heard of The Big Bang Theory

let's try to unpack it imagine the whole

wide universe every Star Planet down to

the smallest particle squished into a

tiny super hot ball the size of let's

say an apple from that point on we've

got a pretty neat road map of how things

unfolded in the cosmos dive even deeper

into the universe's past and things

start to get a bit blurry the energies

and temperatures rise and suddenly our

rule book of physics doesn't make sense

anymore when we reach these Early Times

gravity that force that keeps our feet

on the ground starts acting all

mysterious this is where we bump into

the great puzzle of our time Quant quum

gravity and here's the honest truth we

still got some homework to do on that

one what made the Big Bang go pop in the

first place well it's kind of like

asking what happened before the first

page of a book there's no page zero or

at least that's the answer that quantum

physics provides it tells us that there

are events in the universe that just you

know happen it's not because we're not

looking where we should it's just how

the universe works or at least that's

our current understanding of it right

after the blast everything was just a

bubbly mix of gas like this soda can

that just got open this gas which was

mainly helium and hydrogen began to

stretch out and cool

down if we could time travel to those

times we'd see a younger hotter and

Cozier Universe cool telescopes like the

Hubble and James web let us Peak into

those ancient times and what we see is

fascinating earlier galaxies were like

the cute photos of the Universe when it

was younger tinier less heavy and not as

evolved as they are now over billions of

years the universe stretched out like a

soap bubble imagine countless shiny

marbles inside it representing stars and

galaxies as the bubble grew bigger the

marble spread out today inside our

bubble we have trillions of galaxies for

every single Galaxy we can spot there

are tons more we haven't seen yet some

are too tiny others are are too far away

we still can't see them even if we use

the fanciest telescopes

available just to paint you a better

picture know that today our very own

Milky Way is home to around 400 billion

stars similar to the sun it was a lot

different in the past though our galaxy

began its Journey like a little bundle

of stuff just a tad denser than most

things in space A lot of it was actually

made of Dark Matter our closest star

friend named Proxima centuri is 4.2 ly

years away to put that in Earthly terms

it's like taking a road trip around our

planet millions of times it's also about

the same age as the sun if we could have

looked at the exact spot about 5 billion

years ago it wouldn't have been there at

all many stars live together in groups

kind of like families however most are

Solo adventurers experiencing the

vastness on their own when you zoom out

from our Milky Way and Peak into the

larger universe it's more well empty

like a vast piece of Countryside between

big cities in our Cosmic area we've got

some cool neighbors the Andromeda galaxy

for instance is just to stroll away in

Cosmic terms at 2.5 million light years

and there are lots of smaller galaxies

too like the triangulum Galaxy and the

large melenic Cloud our local hangout

spot which includes all these G galaxies

spans about 3 million light years as we

explore further galaxies seem to gather

in clusters like suburbs connecting

these clusters are threads of galaxies

creating a giant web in the

universe galaxies are clustered this way

because just like magnets they love to

pull stuff towards them if we could turn

back time we'd see a different picture

that's because throughout history the

popular galaxies with lots of stuff

became even bigger while the less

popular ones gave their items away from

Earth we can only see objects that are

46 billion Lighty years away at the most

if we put all this space into a giant

box its volume would be unimaginably

huge the main reason our universe is

such a grand spectacle today is that

it's been growing non-stop every year

its size increases a little more in fact

the universe is expanding faster than

the speed of life

sure we can't feel it down here on Earth

but there are clear signs in the

universe that it's happening we're still

not sure why the universe behaves like

that but scientists are working hard to

figure out this mysterious expansion our

understanding of the universe has

changed a lot over the years too back in

the day when our world had more trees

than buildings people from all corners

of the Earth would gaze up at a

twinkling sky above for many the sky was

their road map alarm clock and spiritual

connection point now imagine not having

a smartphone or a compass and still

being able to find your way home or

knowing when to plant your crops that's

because our ancestors had the sky they

knew when it was time to take care of

plants navigate ships or celebrate

special occasions all by watching the

stars and planets long ago people in

Babylon spotted some stars that behaved

a little weirdly these Stars seem to

have a mind of their own obviously we

know now that they weren't stars at all

they were planets like Venus and Mars

that sometimes wink at us down here

there was also a time when we beli the

Earth was flat well at least some people

did before Greeks in the 6th Century BCE

figured out that it's round they even

managed to guess its size by watching

shadows in different places they were

pretty close with their estimations

especially if you take into

consideration their limited tools now

speaking of our planet there was also a

time when humankind believed the Earth

to be the center of the universe we also

believed everything else was just

spinning around it that was until a man

named cernus did a bit of research and

figured out it was actually the sun

coordinating all the movement in our

system and soon after other thinkers and

stargazers joined in on the fun changing

how we perceive the universe using new

tools speaking speaking of tools thanks

to a telescope Galileo found out that

Jupiter had massive moons tagging along

we call them the Galilean moons today in

his

honor but the universe kept tossing

surprises our way some people started

cataloging Stars clusters and nebula

While others found mysterious rays that

our eyes can't see and just when we

thought we had it all figured out Edwin

Hubble not the telescope but the man

behind the name discovered something

amazing too he realized that other

galaxies are in fact moving further away

from us these days we're looking at the

universe in a different way we know how

the timeline works now we know that our

time here on Earth is limited no wonder

astronomers are eagerly scouting through

the vastness of space looking for

planets similar to ours there is no

other planet that can safely accommodate

us in our solar system but we can use

our neighboring planets and satellites

for science ific purposes take Mars for

instance in the following decades NASA

is planning to send all sorts of devices

and even people up there if the

experiment proves to be successful we

might end up living there for a while or

at least use it as a pit stop for our

next exciting

destination we've never sneaked a peak

Beyond the Edge of the observable

universe what lies there if we managed

to get there would we find another

Universe what if the universe we live in

in is just one of billions of trillions

of other universes I'm talking about the

concept of a Multiverse now look there's

this idea of parallel universes let's

take one of them it looks exactly the

same as our universe and still some

details differ maybe instead of becoming

a doctor you chose to start a music band

there maybe one Infamous asteroid

changed its trajectory and Dinos are

still roaming Earth in that universe but

the Multiverse Theory takes it all one

step further those who believe in it

state that there might be countless

realities according to this Theory we

live in a bubble that is just one of

many other bubbles which I guess looks

like bath foam these bubbles constantly

bob up and

vanish multiverses are described by a

few scientific theories which mention

various possible scenarios from separate

universes that keep springing into

existence all the time to regions of

space that are in different planes than

our home universe but there's one thing

these theories agree upon all of them

suggest that the space and time we

observe is not the only reality you see

it's impossible to explain all the

quirks of our universe if it's the only

one to exist so it's either inventing

newer theories that can throw light on

certain properties of our universe or

accepting the fact that we're living in

just one of many many universes all of

which are different one of the most

widely known Multiverse theories is

called inflationary cosmology this is

the idea that right after the big bang

the universe expanded rapidly and

exponentially indeed Cosmic inflation

does explain lots of the properties of

the universe we observe for example the

distribution of galaxies when this

theory was suggested for the first time

it was perceived as a piece of Science

Fiction but it can indeed explain tons

of interesting features of the world we

live in so with time people started

taking it seriously now the theory

states that inflation might happen again

and again maybe even infinitely and this

could create constellations of bubble

universes of course none of these

bubbles will have the same properties as

ours there may easily be places where

physics as we know it doesn't exist but

even though some of these universes

might look like ours they all lie Beyond

The Realm we can observe directly

another theory called the many worlds

interpretation claims that there might

be multiple branching timelines or

alternative realities and in each of

those real ities our decisions play out

differently which also means very

different outcomes at the same time the

only reality you can perceive is the one

where you live if it's true then the

question is where are all those other

universes well they most likely all

overlap in Dimensions we absolutely

can't access and at the moment it's not

possible to travel between universes but

who knows maybe a few thousand years

later people will not only find a way to

prove that parallel universes exist but

also o invent a method to hop from one

of them to another unfortunately so far

there's no solid evidence that

multiverses exist all the proof we've

got today is purely theoretical some

experts even argue that it could be an

unbelievable Cosmic coincidence that the

Big Bang created such a perfectly

balanced universe as ours or if parallel

universes do exist we might have just

inhabited the one that had all the right

conditions for our survival it's still

unclear whether the Multiverse theory is

even testable perhaps we just haven't

thought of the right tests yet now I've

got one scary thought for you to

consider what if at one point you

stopped existing in your home Universe

the one you were born into what if your

Consciousness was transported to a

parallel universe where you're now

watching this video think of

[Music]

this there's this mysterious thing in

space an unusual spot that scientists

haven't been able to explain for more

than 15

years there are different theories and

one of them says that maybe this is an

imprint from a collision with a parallel

universe is this true well let's

see take a look at this map this is the

map of our universe well not really this

is actually the map of cosmic microwave

background radiation or simply CMB

many many billions of years ago there

was a big bang it was so powerful that

it created our entire

universe and of course such an event

couldn't occur without leaving some

consequences and these consequences are

literally

everywhere the Big Bang left

electromagnetic radiation which we know

CMB we don't notice it in our daily

lives but it's literally here under our

noses

and if you had some kind of superhuman

Vision you would see how everything

around you shines with this dim

light this radiation is very important

if we hadn't discovered the CMB we would

never have found out about the Big

Bang previously scientists believed that

the Universe had always existed there

was no beginning and there was no end it

sounded pretty ridiculous to us now but

less than a century ago people were

Absolut absolutely sure of it Steven

Hawking was one of the first scientists

to Guess that the Universe did in fact

have a

beginning the guy was so cool that he

realized this as a student while working

on his doctoral

dissertation but unfortunately he had no

proof if there was such a strong bang

billions of years ago then where are the

traces where's the proof laughed people

who believed in the Eternal static

universe theory but don't worry

they had the proof rubbed in their faces

real

soon in 1965 astronomers Arno pienas and

Robert Wilson discovered CMB and that

was the first grandiose proof of the Big

Bang it turned out that radiation was

everywhere we just didn't notice it in

fact at first penzes and Wilson

themselves mistook it for the noise of a

big city or pigeons or something

else for their discovery which turned

turned the world of science upside down

they received the Nobel

Prize all right so people learned that

they were surrounded by electromagnetic

radiation then they started collecting

more data about it they accumulated more

and more info over the years until they

made this very map this is a map of CMB

temperatures but while creating it

scientists discovered something unusual

let's take a look at this map it looks

like a large and diverse pattern of cold

and warm places but in reality our

universe is quite uniform all

temperatures on this map are close to

-45° F with very little difference all

temperature fluctuations between these

places are small and each tiny spec

actually spreads over millions of light

years so everything in our world is

pretty calm and stable except for one

point this cold spot right

here astronomers first discovered it in

2004 first it looked like nothing

unusual it's just a region where the

temperature is below average for a

couple of micr Kelvin but remember we're

not talking about a small area this is a

giant cold region it's literally

billions of Lighty years in

size wait the scientists thought this

can't be true the universe should be

consistent everywhere according to our

our standard model this cold spot simply

shouldn't exist but it does exist though

this isn't just some mathematical error

it's right there so what is this cold

spot and how did it appear astronomers

have been trying to find the answers to

these questions for years even now we

have only a few theories so let's

discuss them all Theory one Cosmic

texture this idea was brought up at the

end of 2007

then scientists suggested that this cold

spot could be the hills of space in

other words it may be a bumpy region of

the universe just part of its texture

but that's a silly explanation so this

theory was quickly

discarded Theory 2 the

supervoid this hypothesis was considered

the most plausible for a

while it's stated that the cold spot was

actually the so-called super void it's a

terrifying dark place of our universe

with almost no galaxies and because it's

an empty region with almost no stuff in

there it seems cold to

us however this theory was refuted in

May 2017 after carefully examining the

cold spot scientists found out that

there were no signs of a supervoid there

moreover voids and super voids which

actually exist by the way are still very

small in size the cold spot is literally

thousands of times bigger than them so

there must be some other explanation and

there is one perhaps the most bizarre of

them

all Theory 3 a parallel

universe this controversial idea was put

forward by cosmologist and theoretical

physicist Laura merini

hotton she suggested that the cold spot

could be an imprint from the Collision

of our universe with a parallel

one standard cosmology cannot explain

such a giant cos MC hole says merini

hoton this is the unmistakable imprint

of another universe beyond the edge of

our

own her assumption is based on the

theory of the Multiverse this Theory

says that there's actually an infinite

number of universes like ours in the

world they constantly collide with each

other giving each other a push which

creates a new Big Bang so maybe the cold

spot is a bruise from such a collision

for quantum mechanics mecs such crazy

theories are pretty common but for

standard physics and our simple

understanding of the world this is Earth

shattering of course we need strong

evidence and merini Hon's team has begun

to work on it Professor Tom Shanks from

the center for extra Galactic astronomy

at Durham University also participates

in this

research the craziest sounding of the

Exotic models for the explanation of the

cold spot the Multiverse is actually the

most standard in terms of our current

model of the universe he wrote in one of

his

works so what evidence do we need well

our cold spot is located in the southern

hemisphere according to Shanks If there

really was a collision between two

universes we should find another cold

spot and it should be in the opposite

Northern

Hemisphere if astronomers actually found

it this Theory would be confirmed and

it' become the first proof of the

existence of a parallel universe but

it's not that easy to find a second spot

we need the latest highly sensitive

telescopes we also need to find out some

info about the nature of dark energy how

it affects space and in other words

there's still a lot of work to

do not so long ago scientists actually

believed they had discovered the second

spot researchers from New Mexico thought

they had found it in the northern

hemisphere

but unfortunately this is likely to be a

mistake the map these researchers used

had a high measure of Randomness so it's

possible that their Discovery is just an

accident caused by other voids so

basically we haven't found another cold

spot so far despite careful analysis but

again even the best modern equipment is

not perfect and it doesn't mean that

there's no second spot it just means

that we haven't found it yet but if one

day we did find it it could changed the

world of science

forever we'd confirm not only the theory

of parallel universes but also the

famous String Theory it could explain

everything that occurs in our world but

if this happens we'll get even more

questions than we already have how did

these two universes Collide how does it

all work so far it's all just guesswork

we can't claim that the cold spot is a

print from the Collision of parallel

universes but we can't refute this

either actually we may never know the

truth at all but it's still interesting

to strive for

it how was our universe born and if this

seems hard to answer then how about this

what was before our

universe while scientists are looking

for the answer to the most difficult

question in history let's find out what

they've come up with so

far in the 20th Century we've shed the

light on this mystery all thanks to this

man Edwin

Hubble one day on Mount Wilson in

Southern California he aimed his

telescope at the sky and found out that

these random clouds of gas flying

everywhere are actually other galaxies

and there are a lot of them and also he

learned something else something that

changed the world forever they're

moving so what you may ask well it meant

one very important thing the universe is

expanding and if it's expanding then it

probably had a beginning somewhere right

now all we have to do is run time

backwards and see where the beginning

was it took the scientists many more

years to come up with a full-fledged

Theory The Big Bang Theory and here it

is nothing has ever been anywhere

because neither when nor where existed

do do you get it but actually no there

was one thing it was the so-called

Cosmic

Singularity a state of our universe in

which it was incredibly small dense and

very hot imagine if our universe was

compressed into a small

ball the pressure and temperature inside

would be enormous at some point it

became impossible to withstand them and

here comes the Big Bang it was an out

out burst of energy and matter that

created everything we see now time and

space basic physical forces it also

scattered quarks

everywhere these quirks tiny particles

that make up our world were all boiling

in an incredibly hot Cosmic

broth when it cooled down gravity began

to attract them to each other they

gathered into atoms then molecules and

then into the first objects into the

world stars and all this happened just

some 12 to 14 billion years

ago all right now we know how our

universe was created but what was before

that Alan Harvey Guth an American

theoretical physicist and cosmologist

has devoted his whole life to solving

this mystery after learning about the

Big Bang Theory Guth found some flaws in

it for example the distribution of

matter was very even although it

shouldn't have

been let's hang a balloon filled with

paint to the ceiling and lay a white

canvas on the floor if we drop the

balloon down it will burst and we'll see

absolute Chaos on the canvas a bunch of

spots scattered everywhere randomly

neither is like the

other but that's not really what the

universe looked like instead of throwing

a colored ball from the ceiling let's

draw a small red dot on the canvas

now let's expand it a little more and

more and capture this all on frame by

frame shooting we'll see a circle

gradually growing in all

directions that's the reality the early

Universe was very even and proportional

that was guth's Discovery the theory of

inflation here's what it says even

before the Big Bang there was some kind

of force that could give the bang a

strong acceleration something that was

able to distribute everything in space

instantly and

evenly guth's theory was a success and

now most scientists rely on it for most

of them this idea of the birth of the

universe is quite enough for most but

not for

all Martin bojowald is a German

professor of physics and in his opinion

the universe was born quite differently

remember when we talked about Cosmic

Singularity the state of the universe in

which it was small infinitely dense and

super hot according to Martin's Theory

The Singularity couldn't just appear out

of nowhere this is nonsense but then

where did it come

from let's look at a pendulum on an old

clock the pendulum rotates back and

forth its movement is smooth continuous

and non-stop this is how we usually see

time it flows and never

stops but Quantum time ho ho Quantum

time doesn't work that way it's more

like the second hand of a clock it

consists of small segments and makes

short

pauses and just like with the second

hand of a clock the beginning of one

segment of time is always the end of

another see what I'm getting at let's go

back to balloons again according to the

Big Bang Theory Once Upon a Time our

universe began to expand inflate like a

balloon but sooner or later it will blow

away back the universe will start

shrinking and return to the state of

cosmic

Singularity and then guess what the big

bang too nothing appears out of nowhere

and disappears into nowhere according to

boal's Theory the beginning of each

universe is the end of the previous one

our universe is not at all the first and

not the last millions of similar

universes existed before us and will

exist just after

us this Theory although it sounds very

logical is far from complete

unfortunately we don't have enough

knowledge to find all the evidence for

it so for now all this is just a

hypothesis but some people come up with

even stranger ideas scientists promote

such unusual theories that no one could

even think

of Neil Turk a South African physicist

and his colleague Paul steinhardt an

American theoretical physicist look for

answers far beyond our

universe they say that yes our universe

isn't the first one there have been and

will be an infinite number of them and

not only will there be endless Big Bangs

our universe is just one of an infinite

number of others and all of us are stuck

in a cycle of endless rebirths of

parallel worlds this sounds incredible

and frightening at the same time but how

does it work

according to this Theory our universe is

located inside a so-called brain as in

membrane in other words we're stuck in

some kind of elastic surface that's

capable of Contracting stretching

oscillating and so on like pieces of

fabric on a rope these parallel

universes are located near each other

each one has a neighbor we're not the

exception another universe may be an

inch from ours but we can't see it

that's because there's a tiny space

between us and this tiny space contains

the fourth dimension how do these

universes originate through brain

Collision these brains are getting

closer to each other very very slowly

until one day they finally Collide their

Collision creates two big bangs and two

parallel

universes then they're moving away from

each other the created worlds continue

to live we're currently at this stage

but when they disappear the brains

Collide again and this will lead to the

birth of a new

universe remember the inflation Theory

there was a mysterious energy that

pushed and accelerated the Big Bang well

if we did Collide With Another Universe

that would explain

everything of course everything

described here is a great simplification

when you hear that our world is some

piece of fabric on a Robee it sounds

like complete nonsense but this idea is

based on string theory and M Theory two

giants of quantum mechanics if they turn

out to be true they could explain almost

everything in our

universe creating a theory is an

incredibly huge process tur and

steinhardt made a huge amount of

calculations and swept away many many

non-working

theories also to work this out they have

to overcome the limits of the human mind

and think in 11 Dimensions at once

unfortunately this crazy and elegant

idea was laughed

at turo and steinhart say that

scientists are regular people just like

everyone else they're also afraid of

change and the unknown and it's really

scary to question everything we once

believed in many years ago people didn't

believe that the Earth was round then

they were outraged by The Big Bang

Theory we can't make discoveries without

struggle and fear that that's why Turk

and steinhardt don't plan to give up so

easily after all the evidence that we

have now only says that each of the

three theories is equally possible so

which answer is correct we may never

know at least not at this stage of human

development unfortunately as long as we

have no evidence we can only theorize

but maybe one day we'll find something

that will open our eyes once and for all

maybe one day we'll solve the mystery of

how our universe came to be

13.8 billion years ago a mysterious

explosion happened in space it was chaos

a time when the stars planets asteroids

the rest of the space bodies and

galaxies were born it was the Big Bang a

theory we all know about but no one

knows for sure what happened where the

universe came from and what was there

before some even think the universe went

through a cycle where it contracted and

expanded several times in 1991 a

cosmologist from Stanford University

named Andre Linda had submitted an

article with the main idea that there

was a possibility the universe had been

created in a laboratory his theory said

there was a chance an advanced

civilization somewhere out there had

created our universe this civilization

has made an entirely new Cosmos that

later revolved its own planets stars and

intelligent forms of life 30 years later

many scientists take this Theory pretty

seriously they even started talking

about things that we as a civilization

can do to get to such an advanced level

the theory says this Advanced

civilization decided to add technology

that helped to create a new universe out

of nothing it happened through Quantum

tunneling it's when an atom can appear

on the opposite side of some barrier

even though it's supposed to be

impossible considering the laws of

physics of our world like if you wanted

to pass a tall wall but you can't pass

it with ladders or go around somewhere

imagine you can just walk through it

like a ghost in our world it's not

possible but a more advanced

civilization perhaps can do it plus they

realized how they could create new

universes right now on the cosmic scale

we could be a Class C civilization we

don't know how to recreate something

for example conditions on the earth for

when our Central Star the Sun goes out

if we manage to become a Class B

civilization we'll learn to adjust

conditions to be independent of the Sun

that means we might be able to learn how

to live even without it and if we level

up and become Class A we'll know how to

recreate Cosmic conditions and produce

our own Cosmos in our

Laboratories we think of the world we

live in through three dimensions of

space each east west north south and up

down there's also one dimension of time

which means we can distinguish past from

future a Fifth Dimension would represent

one more extra dimension of space the

theory of its existence was first

mentioned in the 1920s it was inspired

by the theory of gravity by Albert

Einstein who said SpaceTime is Warped by

matter and energy we can't perceive

these four dimensions but we see how an

object moves and attribute it to gravity

and maybe there's some other Force like

the electromagnetic force that's more

than 1,000 times stronger than gravity

that could explain things going on in

that extra dimension of space The Fifth

Dimension is curved in a way we can't

see it but the idea about it was

mentioned in a string theory it

considers the universe as really small

strings of mass energy not as particles

they vibrate in 10-dimensional

SpaceTime considering six dimensions are

rolled up way smaller than a single atom

that led to the picture of the universe

as a 3D Island that floats in

10-dimensional space time also The Fifth

Dimension might be an excellent

explanation to tell us more about Dark

Matter that's the invisible stuff with a

mass but we can't see it nor can it

interact with ordinary matter and dark

matter is 85% of all the matter in our

universe the universe can't be still

it's constantly in motion either

Contracting or expanding we used to

think there were 100 billion galaxies

but it turns out there are more than a

trillion the galaxies are moving away

from each other this is what it means

when scientists say the universe is

expanding all the time there are voids

between galaxies that sometimes stretch

millions and millions of light years

across they can seem empty but they can

also contain way more matter than we can

find in galaxies still Stars usually

can't be formed there because the matter

between those areas has lower density

but there's still plenty of so-called

Intergalactic Stars a good example is

the Virgo Galaxy cluster 10% of which

are Intergalactic Stars we don't know

how exactly they got there but there are

two possible ways one Stars can Collide

merge or pass close to another galaxy

which can kick it off from its parent

Galaxy option number two a super massive

black hole can accelerate a star to very

high velocities if they have a close

encounter which can again make a star be

expelled from its parent Galaxy if you

could have a giant magnet you could even

pull something out from the vicinity of

a black hole that's possible if the

magnetic field near a super massive

black hole is as strong as the black

hole's gravitational field but it

doesn't work if we're talking about

material that's already beyond the black

holes Event Horizon that's a spot with a

gravitational force so powerful not even

light light can get away you'd need to

accelerate this material to the speed of

light at least to get away for that

you'd need an infinite amount of energy

but a magnet could help if something's

heading toward the black hole but didn't

get inside yet when someone mentions a

black hole you might get a picture of

some giant void in space but the Milky

Way is most likely full of thousands of

smaller black holes that float around

the Galaxy when a star comes to its end

it will destroy it itself in a supernova

explosion which is a cataclysm of energy

in that explosion the densities in the

core will reach an intense enough state

that nothing will be able to escape at

the same time the major part of the star

explodes outward but a part of it

collapses inward creating a black hole

the bigger the star the bigger the hole

the black hole then swallows everything

that comes in its way including other

stars as well when a star gets sucked up

into the black hole it's ripped apart

because of the strong gravity inside the

black hole some of its parts fall into

the black hole While others get ejected

at incredibly high speeds some black

holes might have been formed in a

different way the early stages of our

universe were to say the least pretty

chaotic it had high temperatures and

pressures and was in a state that shaped

the entire Cosmos under the right

conditions any old gas patch may have

shrunk itself to become a black hole and

they came in many different sizes

from something that weighs a couple of

pounds to Giant masses like thousands of

suns and those in between they aren't

really black black holes are areas with

strong gravity and no object can escape

when it gets inside they feed off

electromagnetic radiation such as light

and space particles since they're

consuming matter all the time black

holes give off a dark glow the Earth is

not that close to the inhospitable edge

of the solar system we're the sixth

planet from it

scientists made a pretty cool 3D map of

our solar system where we can see what

the edge looks like it took them 13

years to design it the boundary is

called the outer heliosphere it marks

the area in space where the solar wind

which is the stream of charged particles

our sun emits gets deflected and draped

back by the radiation coming from the

empty region beyond our solar system the

inner layer of the heliosphere is where

the sun and the planets have a rough

shape of a sphere while the OU layer is

not that symmetrical this asymmetry

happens because our sun is moving

through the Galaxy and goes through

friction with the radiation in front of

it black holes tearing apart enormous

Stars Pulsar spinning at incredible

speeds and emitting powerful beams of

energy colorful nebula with fireworks of

newborn Stars galaxies of every possible

color and size all of these are found

within our universe but it's not

infinite it has a boundary a literal

wall and beyond that there's an absolute

nothingness right now we're going to

make a journey to that wall but first

things first our universe is like a

humongous nesting doll if you open it up

there's a smaller one inside it's a

Galaxy inside that is an even smaller

doll that's our solar system and the

smallest doll of all is the earth each

of these dolls has boundaries that we

are going to cross for that we'll need a

space ship and a big one it also has to

be able to move a 100 times faster than

the speed of light you get on board and

start the engines 62 Mi above sea level

is our first boundary that's 10 times

higher than passenger planes fly this

point is called the Carmen line it

separates the atmosphere of the Earth

from outer space now we fly further to

the edge of our solar system we turn on

the hyperdrives and fly past Mars

Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune

we've traveled a distance of 100

astronomical units 1 Au is the distance

from Earth to the Sun and here's the

boundry of our solar system the

heliosphere here the speed of the solar

wind decreases rapidly first it drops

from 620,000 mph to the speed of sound

then there's a layer called the

heliopause this is where the wind almost

vanishes and then our ship experiences a

bow wave this is where we feel the force

of of the interstellar wind which

collides with the boundary of our solar

system when you pass this boundary you

find yourself in the dark of

interstellar space and here you can find

two human-made objects that made this

trip for the first time in history their

Voyager One and Voyager 2 Voyager 1

crossed that boundary in 2004 Voyager 2

did it in 2007 these space probes

discovered that the heliosphere is not a

perfect ball around the Sun its southern

boundary is 10 a closer to the star than

the northern one so we're moving in

interstellar space and will soon

approach a stone wall around our solar

system 200,000 Aus further and there it

is this wall of rock is the or cloud in

fact it's a pile of asteroids that

surround our world scientists speculate

that the or Cloud could be the source of

comets and meteorites that fall to Earth

but they're so sparse that we easily fly

between them now we're in complete dark

Darkness the Milky Way is about 106,000

Lightyear wide in a conventional rocket

it would take billions of years to fly

across that distance but you throttle to

the max you masterfully fly past the

stars and planets as if on a racetrack

and within minutes you're at the edge of

our galaxy there's no more Interstellar

wind all you see are bright dots

somewhere in the distance these dots are

huge galaxies we need to look at a map

to make a route to the edge of our

entire Universe you're here near the

Milky Way galaxy it's part of a cluster

of galaxies called the lania super

cluster but even this huge thing is like

a little Street in a big city zooming

out we find hydris and Taurus super

cluster thousands of galaxies on the map

look like little dots maximum zoom out

this is our entire observable universe

we thought it was infinite but we may

have proof that it has a boundary it's

here 10 billion light years away from

our home even if you travel at the speed

of light a trip there would take twice

as long as our whole planet has existed

during that time the Sun will either

fade away or explode like a supernova

destroying our entire solar system and

if you can live that long and then

return home you will see that our galaxy

is there no more it's long since

collided with the Andromeda galaxy and

merged into one big Cosmic body luckily

your ship is able to to warp SpaceTime

so that this journey will literally take

a few seconds boom congratulations

you've arrived at your destination the

aridus supervoid some scientists believe

this location is the evidence of

collisions of our universe with

something big enough to leave such a

large Scar the idonis supervoid is an

empty and cold Space 1 billion Lighty

years wide if you think of this void as

a cup it would fit at least 10,000

galaxies

and it appeared after an accident of

gigantic proportions the object that

crashed into our universe was another

Universe yes other universes may

actually exist imagine that our entire

universe is a huge bubble that contains

all the clusters of galaxies in the

observable universe there could be an

infinite number of such bubbles they

could have been born during the big bang

these universes may be different from

ours they may have other galaxies and

nebula but these bubbles could also be

parallel universes this means that if

you chose cereal over oatmeal in the

morning in Another Universe your twin

would choose the oatmeal every choice

you ever made in life had completely

different consequences in a parallel

universe and because the number of

choices are infinite there's a whole

Infinity of parallel universes so like a

regular bubble our universe has a wall

that is near the aridus supervoid long

ago another bubble flew past ours as

they approached each other their

gravitational fields began to interact

our boundary wall began to deform and

pull toward the other Universe the same

thing happened on the other side then

the walls of our universes came into

contact but as these bubbles moved their

connection began to break and the other

Universe just ripped a huge chunk of

ours a cold void was formed at the point

of collision and that was the aridus

Super void the problem is that the

Universe looks the same to The Observer

regardless of point of view for example

imagine a basketball hanging in the air

now if we put an ant on the ball and

tell it to find the edge of the ball it

will start running around it making an

infinite number of circles but the

landscape around the ant will not change

all it will see is a rounded Horizon

that's because the ball Remains the Same

from any point of view the same thing

happens to us when we try to find the

edge of our universe all because we

imagine the world in three-dimensional

space and our view is limited for

example you see an ordinary Square in

two-dimensional space but if you add

depth and change the point of view voila

it's a cube if we could see the universe

in four-dimensional space a square might

be something completely different but

maybe we can leave our home bubble the

key to traveling to another Universe

might be inside a black hole a black

hole is one of the most mysterious

objects in the universe they're so heavy

they warp not only space but time as

well it's like putting a heavy Boulder

on a net the net will sag and the closer

you get to the boulder the stronger the

curvature is once you're in the

gravitational field of a black hole you

can't leave it we still don't know what

might actually be in the heart of a

black hole some scientists speculate

that white holes also exist

theoretically they should be born along

with black holes except for the color

they're the exact opposite of black

holes nothing can come close to a white

hole at the moment there's no data on on

such objects but general relativity

Theory suggests they do exist there's

also a theory that a black hole may be a

passage to another Universe when you get

into a black hole you can come out the

other side through the Event Horizon of

the white hole so you bypass the

boundary of the universes and find

yourself in a completely different world

but we may have proof that a white hole

exists in 2006 scientists discovered an

unusual burst of energy somewhere 1.6

billion Lighty years away from Earth

this burst was unique it didn't look

like a supernova explosion or even the

merger of two black holes some

astronomers believe it was the birth of

a white hole but because it was unstable

it was destroyed almost immediately this

process was reminiscent of the birth of

our entire universe the Big Bang so

scientists called it the little Bang
