Neil deGrasse Tyson On The Big Bang And Before It 🤯

[muadib]

One of the best quotes ever "the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you"

[TroyHutch]

Itachi and Neil Degrassi
What a combo 😂

[MCPunk]

You just pissed off a lot of zealots with that last sentence.

Here’s the thing about that “infinitely small spot.” Given that spot was “all there was”—if, that is, there was nothing else in existence with which to compare it—then that same “infinitely small” spot was simultaneously infinitely large; meaning, it had no “size, ” at all. This can only mean that it was quite capable of containing all the “matter” in the universe.

This leaves me wondering if were are inside it, still.

never would say that itachi's theme would do so well along degrasse

[cyberjack]

That last quote is really scary if you think about it.

My hypothesis is a previous universe was consumed by a black hole. As the black hole got older/weaker, it wasn’t able to contain all the energy it had consumed and that..
Caused the Big Bang

That last line was great I LOVE IT! 🎉😂

I wish to see a conversation between Tyson and Itachi

[bekahcleckler]

Love how you taught yourself per your explanation at one point, to take complex concepts and put them into understandable, succinct terms! Suddenly, and adherent to the creation story, understanding that the concept of first day second day, etc., is hyperbole for spaces of time. And to amaze ourselves that the “creation story“ really accurately describes the processes that are being learned in science and physics. For that, thank you!

The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
I'm going to use that!

Fun thought experiment: what if black holes are giant matter and mass compactors and once they've reached critical mass they cause a "big bang" and a universe is born in an alternate dimension and what if wormholes are also real and are capable of connecting things between said dimensions and quantum tunneling is the result of things being connected through wormholes and we just don't know how to detect or access them yet.

George Lemaître, a Catholic priest who discovered the Big bang. He was a mathematician, astronomer & physicist.

I was taught that it was actually the big whoosh. Lol, and there was no 'before' the universe, because there was no time until the universe began. So if there is no time there's no 'before' just an after. Lol, wrap your head around that.

My computer projected the Universe, thats the small spot. You are inside a room in my home and everything in the Universe is made up of the dust of that room. I am that big. Yours Sincerely Archangel Michael xo

We define the relationship of each thing exactly as to us have it defined

[Dotehhbn]

To realize comes with a big bang feeling

"I can only explain it to you, I can't understand it for you." Energy.

[channelisomo]

This makes perfect sense to me cause it's so logical and is so surprising cause not many things in my life make sense to me 👍

[MrJJuK]

Anyone else going down the Neil rabbit hole? 😏
