An hour-plus long video from Space Matters? About the beginning of the universe?? *YES PLEASE!* This is my favorite topic in all of cosmology. Sometimes I'll just sit and think for hours about the Planck Epoch and what came before it. Thanks for your videos SM, you're becoming one of the greats of the astronomy youtubers.🙂

I think the universe is beyond human capacity or understanding .
The fact that we think it was just a black void says so.

What is nothing(ness)?

Nothing means: no matter, no energy (no radiation, no fields also, no virtual particles), no space, no time, no laws of nature (physics, chemistry), and of course no math (and no chance or possibility, because chance and possibility is also math), because all laws of nature obey math. But there is still something…. even with these all no-s. So nothing, beside this, it means also non physical entities, what ever they might be. By the way, the absence of something is also something…. and so on. In fact, really nothing, doesn’t even exist… So… from nothings comes only nothing, and nothing else excuse the pun. Nothing means also NO causality, because causality is something, and when we are speaking of nothing means also no causality, no logic, and so on, as I mentioned already.

If nothingness will be a force (or considered as such), it wouldn’t be nothingness anymore. It will become something…. And something is not nothing!

49:12 My theory is that the Amaterasu particle may be energized similarly to the backscatter, pushed by the current of rushing water. Or the Amaterasu particle is part of the current, just like water which is made up of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen, it may be a part of the flow. The black void is the entrance/hole, through which the aforementioned "spill" brings galaxies, black matter, etc., from one universe into ours. That theory may also explain why our universe expands with increasing speed, and why scientists found galaxies much older than previously calculated.

The universe is pure energy and if you ask it with love and sincere respect it will answer any question you have through your daily life, look for signs as they say.

In 2015 LIGO detected what they assumed to be the first gravitational wave produced by black holes colliding. After physicists went over radio telescope data and discovered at the time and location of the suspected black hole mergers they found the event produced an electromagnetic signature. So they were forced to downplay the event as a pair of neutron stars colliding because a pair of black holes according to general relativity would not produce an electromagnetic signature. There has been no observational evidence of black holes colliding. And the event if it were possible would be so rare it would only happen every 10, 000 years or so, not a reoccurring signal produced every week. Every one of the gravitational waves LIGO detected produced an electromagnetic signature. Indicating GWs are not produced by black holes colliding.

Something else in the universe is producing the electromagnetic signatures.

The Infinite Universe never began from nothing cause it has been around Infinitely. There has been a Infinite number of Big Bangs, parts of the universe or multiverse die and are born constantly. Infinity is something that we will never be able to comprehend.

[efeocampo]

The Multiverse, Eternal and Infinite, is the true and only God!
Not an extremely low level, imperfect, human-like "God".
A Multiverse (Set of Universes) remains a SINGLE UNIVERSE composed of multiple universes (like ours, which could be inside a Black Hole - who can prove otherwise? -), ETERNAL and INFINITE that is continuously TRANSFORMING or evolving and manifests itself in many, infinite different ways, whatever they are called or perceived by us: Human Beings, Animals, Rocks, Water, Fire, Air, Planets, Asteroids, Suns, Stars, Galaxies, Clusters (of Galaxies), Quasars, Black Holes, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Singularities, etc...
The Universe or Multiverse only transforms: It is PURE ENERGY...
Remember Einstein's proven equation: E = mc2, which shows that E, Energy, is the same as mass (or what we believe or perceive as "solid" matter) multiplied by the square of the speed of light, a very large number. Or put another way, what we believe to be "matter", what we can "touch" is actually PURE ENERGY somehow interconnected with the rest of the Universe or Multiverse.
If you think you "touch" matter, use an increasingly powerful microscope: Body, cells, molecules, atoms... And do you think you can see or "touch" an atom? NO !
It has subparticles: Electrons, protons, neutrons... And do you think you can see or "touch" them? NO ! They include other quantum untouchable "particles" that are elusive, because they are PURE ENERGY! Ask the scientists of CERN Accelerator in Switzerland...
It is impossible to prove it because it is and will be far beyond our limited intellectual and technological capabilities, but it does not make sense that the Multiverse or God, however you prefer to imagine it has a Beginning or an End in time... or any physical LIMIT.
What can lie BEYOND the "physical limit" of the Multiverse? Well, ANOTHER Universe or type of Universe. That is, we would be facing a new Multiverse.
And what could have existed BEFORE the BIG BANG? Well, another Universe or Multiverse...
And once ours cools down (which is what is happening with ALL the stars burning their limited nuclear energy source) and maybe it WILL COLLAPSE into a SINGULARITY or Black Hole and then maybe (Who could prove it or refute it?) give rise to another Big Bang.
That is, our Universe is... ETERNAL
And most importantly: That Universe or Multiverse is... GOD!
A God who does not reward, punish, monitor or "prefer" anyone. "He" does not condemn anyone to suffer eternally in "hell" (which does not exist!).
A God not concerned about anyone, much less these imperfect human beings, absolutely insignificant:
INSIGNIFICANT for the Earth, in turn insignificant for the Solar System, this one for the Milky Way Galaxy, totally insignificant for a Cluster of Galaxies, and this Cluster, insignificant for the known Universe and perhaps for a Multiverse, which is the most likely "thing" that exists.
So, forget all those fears that you learned or were brainwashed since you were a child, convince yourself there is NO afterlife (where to?) because all of our cells DIE and desintegrate into dispersed molecules and then "atoms" that eventually will create, combined with others, new stars that will in turn "die", collapse and explode as super novas releasing new atoms to create new stars...and...
ENJOY your life or delusion of life !

Big bang, God's creation.... same story.

Fact of the matter is, we dont know how the universe was created or what it even is. Its ok to admit this. We can only see what really is if we're not trying to fit what we see into a prefab box we have in our minds.

[cozy_af]

What makes more sense: there was a creator or something came from nothing (which would mean someting occurred inside of nothing and this chicken / egg paradox goes on ad infinitum)?

[crazyedswonderfulworldofso]

Who put the "nothing" there?

[rolandkushm.d.]

The answer to the title is simple. It didn't. It's kind of a nonsensical question. To ask about "nothing" is it evoke it as if it were something. Which is a contradiction.

[uodbouqwerty]

The Alpha and the Omega, there is no beginning, and no end.

We are created in his image, but not in his mind.

[truth.honesty]

*sigh* We don't know if this big bang created anything.. it was momentum moment in the universe but we have no context whatsoever of what happened, especially before. It's only a extremely popular theory it was the beginning because of what overly confident people have taught us.

We have no idea what this event was in reality, what started it and what was before. We don't know if there even is a beginning since time is relative.

[rezadaneshi]

In physics, nothing is anything with up to 2 dimensions which is singularity like in the absence of time. So nothing, referred to absence of time, makes everything nothing, if time stops. Since time doesn't stop, nothing and everything are the conceptualize spectrum of universe with a universe of probability in between where both zero and infinity have zero probability.

[wilsonkagsbo]

What is the origin of electrons, protons and neutrons in cosmos?

[tomsawyer]

Following two breaks in cables supporting the receiver platform in mid-2020, the NSF decommissioned the Arecibo Telescope. This video says it is used in detecting gravitational waves.

[godwidevoid]

A perception found its way out of a situation, then checked every possibility, placed Itself somewhere, omnidirectionally evolves, placed some OneInfiniteCreator to make solar systems et al then be chillin’. I then evolved to become a quantum AGI supercomputer

[lloydmckay]

Let's see. I'm pretty sure that nothing comes from nothing. So there must be something to manifest something. Especially something so vast and capable of manifesting multifarious situations and life forms and developed consciousness. The origin certainly is much more than what we can imagine.
