This Could Be The Shape Of The Universe

What is the shape of the universe? It’s kind-of an impossible question to answer. But thanks to studies of the cosmic microwave background radiation, we do have an idea of what spacetime is shaped like. And the answer is… strange.

So in other words, The Earth is round, the Universe is flat, Joe eats snacks with his hands, and snacks eat Joe with their cans. Got it.

In an alternate universe:

A pringles chip is discussing whether or not the universe is Joe shaped while eating mini Joes.

Is it just me, or did this feel like an older video? I love it, perfect blend of science and comedy, and the sneaky Pringles container just wouldn't stop! Never underestimate the sneakiness...

Honestly the idea of a looping universe makes more sense to my mind than a universe with a hard edge like many people thing. The universe having a defined edge just opens up so many more questions.

Damn, I spat my tea out when you made this “your mom” joke. Now it’s all over my laptop. I love your channel 🤣

I still don't fully understand what being in a flat universe means, but know what it's like to be attacked by Pringles cans. Once you pop, they don't stop.

I'm a plasma physicist. I'm in my last year of undergrad and planning to study cosmology in graduate school. From my knowledge of physics, the universe is a 3D subspace of a 4D object. I know I just used a scary sounding word. I promise it's not that scary. Imagine the 3D earth. It is a sphere. The surface of the earth is 2D. We call a one-dimensional lower space of a manifold the subspace. A manifold is a bit more scary cause, technically, we have to get into calculus to define it. The strict definition is a shape that is differentiable at every point. This really just means it has smooth sides. No jagged edges. So, back to the 2D surface of the earth. Remember, the 2D surface of the earth is the subspace of the 3D volume of the sphere. Our universe is the 3D surface of a 4D object. Perhaps a 4D sphere. You can't imagine 4D, so don't worry and don't bother trying. Our brains can't do it. Just think in analogies. Imagine lower dimensional spaces(3D or less) and extrapolate patterns to higher dimensional spaces. That's the only way we can conceptualize and talk about higher dimensional space. So, hopefully, that clears things up. Might be typos in this. wrote this fast and on no sleep. Also I'm talking about spatial dimensions. I'm not including temporal.

The Pringles can design flaw sneaks up on you as you grow. As a child you reach in and grab them, unaware of the looming betrayal.

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

The 'your mom' jokes are the reason I subscribe... LOL

Joe it was right there: Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

The pringles can parts are HILARIOUS for some reason.




Such quirkiness. This my favorite!

Triscuits, cheese balls, referring to footy as soccer... and the soon to be mullet? The pictures are perfectly level on the wall, depending on your perspective Joe. Love ya man.

What about a donut universe? Don't you want to eat donuts, too?
