Brian Cox Explains The True Size Of The Universe

In 1823, German astronomer Heinrich Olbers proposed the idea of a static universe. He suggested if the Universe is infinite and filled with stars all at different distances from Earth, then every single sight line should land on a star. This means that if the universe is infinite and contains an infinite number of bright objects, the night sky will be bright! Since the night sky is dark, this tells us that one of our assumptions about the universe is incorrect.

And in the grand scale of time it's like we were never here...

[mikeharding]

Light year: 6 trillion miles. That should put it into perspective

[turtlewalzer]

Brian you're doing fine. I just can't listen to the narrrator.

[MasoudNyoni-go]

Thanks space wind for sharing this idealisms movement which is nice to learn

[PeteDavidson-ylps]

But where is the Universe?

It’s got to be floating within something like a room, a void, a space. I understand the immense size but where is it ?

One can’t simply say here’s this thing we call the Universe it’s billions of miles in size, ok, but in comparison to what where is the Universe what’s holding it up?

We are actually closer in size to the observable universe than we are to the Planck lenght

[sundareshvenugopal]

It is always a small world. Do not be deceived.

[oldbag]

We don't know the size of the universe and we won't for a very long time if we ever do we just know how far we can see so far

9:19 I get it now. Makes perfect sense

[AlbertSzajman-xlop]

So if we’re able to see the light because it has travelled from where it was emitted to where we are, how is this looking back in time?
I mean we’re not actually seeing the object where the light emitted from, we are only seeing the light it emitted. And like I mentioned, we’re seeing it because it has travelled all the way to us - so we see the light as it is in present time.
How is this looking back in time??? Am I missing or misunderstanding something here?

The universe is expanding …ok… but what is it expanding in? To separate space from “the universe” is the hang up.

[aaronfischer-mb]

In the beginning GOD! Boom problems solved

[chinemeremohaeri]

Big is now the illusion that supports small in an expanding fixed universe.

[jasongodin]

The size of space is scary but 100% is a fixed number

[kaner]

Is Brian Cox in the room with us right now?

[Madara.Uchiha.The.true.Savior]

I love the universe just learning about the cosmos has always interested me
Im getting a quote by carl sagan and brian cox tattooed saying we are the cosmos made conscious we are a way for the cosmos to know itself that quote literally changed the way i think

[DCRlive]

Hi Cox, the Eclips by rahu & Ketu, oh yes, and you really don't need Eclipse glasses during an eclipse, oh yes, that's true, you saw that yourself in India....

[ArtofDreaming]

The prophesy of the Heat Death is nonsense.😂
