Mysterious Structure Found Near The Edge Of The Universe

Mysterious Structure Found Near The Edge Of The Universe

The observable universe spreads across an expanse so big that it warps the imagination. And although there is a cosmic boundary we can see, many astronomers believe there could be much more out there in the darkness, billions and billions of light years away.

And it seems there is something strange and mysterious out there with an immense gravity pulling on everything...

Space is expanding at an accelerated rate, and giant space structures farther than we can see could be out there tearing space apart… And we may have found one of these in our own universe.

I can't wait to see how many mysteries will be solved and new discoveries will be made after the launch of James webb telescope

[cmacdhon]

If the question is "is there something else out there", the answer will always be "yes".

“We all know that the observable universe is estimated to be approximately 13.7 billion years old”

*nervously looks around room*

……yes, yes of course we do.

Always kinda thought the big bang could just have been a universe sized supernova, and our universe is just the shockwave of that explosion, and if the big bang was nothing but an unfathomably large star, it's possible it was or is part of an even larger galaxy, one so insanely large, that light from the nearest star still has yet to reach our observable universe, would be kinda cool if that's how it was

I'm so excited for the launch of the James Webb it'll give us the insight we need to able to answer alot of these mysterious questions.

"If you travel far enough, you'll come across a copy of yourself. But space is expanding so fast you'll never be able to reach it"

Mmyes, how convenient

[AMWable]

"we'll be able to see more of the universe as the observable universe continues to expand". Not technically correct. The Cosmic Event Horizon is the limit of what we can see, and it's INSIDE the observable universe. We can only see things beyond that horizon if their light originated while the object was inside the horizon. As more objects cross that horizon, we'll eventually stop seeing them as their light won't have time to reach us once they've crossed it. So we'll actually see less of the universe, not more of it. Eventually, we'll see nothing at all except for our own solar system. Far future humans will have no idea that the universe exists.

Andromeda: "Um, I guess Im not a galaxy."

For those wondering, the universe being “flat” does not mean it’s like a sheet of paper. It simply means that trigonometry holds up over vast distances. If space was “curved”, then measurements taken with lasers over massive distances would defy basic trig and the angles would be off kilter…well they’re not, thus space is indeed “flat” for a lack of better term.

One of the most fascinating and troubling things about cosmology is that so much of our "knowledge" is built upon some assumptions that we have not (and likely cannot) verify with 100% accuracy. The problem with determining distances across the universe is that our baseline is emission spectrum analysis and reverse engineering the red shift.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming some wildly outlandish criticism or saying that our scientific experiments and calculations are worthless. I'm only saying that we cannot be 100% sure if ALL supernovae have the same emission spectrum everywhere. We use these to calculate the red shift (called "standard candles") and, because we know the speed of light/causality, and interpolate a distance. Then you get into the "extra mass" problem with galaxies and we would up with something called "dark matter." I mean, you can't exactly use a tape measure to see exactly how far objects are. Nor can you put a galaxy onto a scale.

People have found some clever work arounds but it's interesting to consider how far off our measurements could be and what effect that might have on our understanding.

Imagine finding a thriving civilization like ours out there in space 💀

5:30 "If the universe is infinite you would find everything" No, I'm sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Infinity does _not_ mean infinite combinations. It might just be an infinite void for all we know. Or more of the same (normal stars with normal planets). There is no indication that there is infinite combinations of conditions, which means there's no real indication that "everything" is out there

[rexbk]

Some theories of reality could confuse us, be completely wrong, or need more thought/work. Today, I'm grateful to be open minded, this channel to me, proves just that. The space out in the universe is unimaginable; studying space and time can bring us closer, have a better understanding of reality, allowing our souls to have peace.

Many mistakes in semantics here—those photons haven’t traveled 43 billion light years, they’ve travelled 13 billion light years or so, it’s just that space has expanded & now, those places they came from are themselves now 43 billion light years away. It’s an important extinction. Anyway, these types of videos are fun, anyway. Mind blowing, how small we are.

[christianlewis]

It doesn’t matter how many times I think and talk about the nature of the universe, it will always leave me speechless.

[cpvsgvmnt]

The camera man needs a serious award. Good job to that dude..

[tobiaswilhelmi]

1:28 "cosmologists estimate the oldest photon we can currently see have traveled a distance of 45 to 47 billion ly."

Nope. That is plain wrong. The photons traveled 13.7 billion ly. The objects that emitted the photons are now around 46 billion ly away.

Btw. the amount of objects that we see will shrink, not grow, since there are many objects that escape our view in the sense that they are so far away that their light will never arrive here.

My brain is twisting infinite while trying to comprehend this shit.
