The Edge of the Universe

The Universe is immense. Does it have an edge out beyond the Cosmological Event Horizon? Or in time, before the Big Bang? Or in higher dimensions like Hyperspace?

"..., at least until we discover how to walk at right angles to reality." Superbly original way of putting that notion forth.

This episode has a retro Isaac Arthur feel. Like I've travelled a few years back in time.

I'm a primary school teacher in the Netherlands and currently teach ~8 yr olds. I've brought my pc to run SpaceEngine a couple times and show them around. They come with a million questions and even after answering them for over an hour, they want more.
It's thanks to you that I have a lot to share as well. Thank you so much for this!

A fucking big rain hit our camp so nobody wants to leave the barrack, even the guys who are already on leave right now, what a good time for some SFIA!

[DanielGenis]

This is exactly the type of show that made me fall in love back when I found this program!

Watching this with my 2 and 4 year old sons. They love watching your videos, the visuals are captivating for them and they ask me lots of questions about what you’re talking about. Thanks Isaac…I hope we can all maintain our sense of wonder like my kids have right now.

An absolutely wonderful channel with such astoundingly mind stimulating content. Thank you Issac, keep up the great work.

The edge of the universe is where we can find Isaac's video about atmosphere mining

"We're not bothered by kicking the can down the road in science so long as the can arrives where it's supposed to be, which for a lot of theories is apparently a recycling center." 🤣🤣 And lots of episodes in September. See you Sunday!

[ColdHawk]

Wow! Early enough to see the edge of the universe from here!

Cheers Isaac! Another great topic

[NTYALC]

So excited for this. I remember being 4 years old, and trying to wrestle with the concept of “the end of space”. How does it end? A wall? Then what’s on the other side. I think that kickstarted my fascination with space

[Bhoddisatva]

This reminds me of a throw away sentence in Arthur C Clarke's novel "Against the Fall of Night" where its casually mentioned that the ancients had taken a starship and raced around the rim of the universe in a single day.

Youtube - There's a new Isaac Arthur video. Me - Immediately stop what I'm doing to watch

[pineapplepenumbra]

The Edge of the Universe has a wall, and on the wall there is a legend, it reads:





*SLOW, Spaced Out Hippies Ahead!*

[maxkronader]

Most physicists:
It can't be explained in words, you need to know the math.
Isaac Arthur:
Grab a snack and a drink; we're talking physics.

13:24 I, for one, welcome our new hyper dimensional cat overlords

[katie-ampersand]

There is something different about the vibe of this video. There's a strange outburst of confidence and witty... humor? humor-adjacent thing that isn't present in the older ones. Especially at the beginning

I like this video

[deathsyth]

We all know there's a brick wall with a tourist view finder at the edge of the universe where you can look at the other side & find a universe where everyone wears cowboy clothes & hats. That's what Futurama taught me at least.

[StalinMcRally]

That's a lot of talk about edging. Interesting talk as always, Isaac!

[mcnormally]

We will hopefully never reach the end of your videos! Thanks for your hard work!
