What If Earth Were Teleported to the Edge of the Universe?

Let me take you on a wild ride to the very edges of our Universe. But it won't be as simple as traveling through space. Because the edges that we’re talking about aren’t in space. They’re in time. The Universe doesn't have the kind of edge you might imagine. But there is a limit to how far into outer space we can see from Earth. And the part that we can see is called the observable Universe. This observable Universe does have an edge. Why is the Universe that we see a Universe of the past? How far back into the Universe's history could you go? And what would you see in the young Universe?

Thank you very much for having subtitles on your videos! I'm really enjoying watching your channel, but I'm not a native speaker, so subtitles help me a lot :>

Technically, if we could spontaneously teleport to the edge of the observable universe, we would see the galaxies and stars as they are now, not billions of years ago.

What If answers "What if" questions I would never think of asking but definitely wanted to know.

What if is the reason why I developed so much interest in science. I learnt a lot of things from this channel

I like how you used some of the scenes from Loki. It made the video look so much more epic! Great job! 😀

Well I mean, we’d all be confused as hell that’s for sure

No one ever knows what humanity can find at the edge of the universe especially when technology advances day by day, there are tons of stuff and weird things in the heavens that appear, your voice adds something special to the videos, great job
