How the universe works

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I have been watching all of my recorded universe shows while being laid off. Holy balls has it been a fun couple of days.

 

The portion I want to focus on is dark energy and the fate of the universe. So cosmologists best guess is that as the universe expands more rapidly, more dark energy is somehow created pushing the universe apart even faster. There is so much dark energy that there isn't enough gravity to overcome the expanding force. It seems as if the universe will expand until there is so much dark energy that it rips all matter apart.

 

I wonder, is this where intelligent life saves the universe? Do we, or some other intelligent life form (there is life beyond our planet. The odds are against us being the only life forms) figure out how to neutralize dark energy, maybe even destroy it? If we did this in order to save the universe it is knowing that our actions will allow gravity to take over and crunch the universe down again, setting up for another big bang. We essentially choose to restart the universe, knowing we at least give life a chance to grow again, rather than allow it to shred into oblivion, which wouldn't allow life to happen again.

 

Those who want science to revert back to the Earth is flat because of religion, those need not bother reading.

Very astute of you

what's the dark matter?

[fandandy 3,311]

Is that the one with Morgan Freeman? If yes, I like those too. Something to check out online if you ever get bored is World Science Festival on YouTube, They have some really fascinating stuff. Here's a link if interested.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

No this one doesn't have Morgan Freeman. I think Mike Rowe narrates. My wife thinks this stuff is boring. I think she's nuts, especially since she watched The Bachelor and all its shltty spinoff shows

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Hey! You forgot to put "lives" between dark and matter.

 

"Dark lives matter!" Got it!

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584]

If it's got Mike Rowe I gotta check it out

 

realistically most Universe stuff is millions of years off and pretty much irrelevant. The Universe could have already collapsed on itself, and we wouldnt even know for hundreds of millions of years

[wiffleball 4,640]

Sounds pretty stupid.

 

I mean, what the hell do a bunch of Cosmetologists know about this stuff?

[wiffleball 4,640]

Did you realize that two of the hottest years on record occurred after Aaron Rogers stopped talking to his family?

[Baker Boy 1,485]

Science doesn’t have the answers. It guesses, tests, and guesses again.

One question I have had since watching some programs on space time and Einsteins theory where the suns mass created a "dimple" in space and the planets kinda roll around said dimple blah blah blah. That's fine and dandy and I can conceptualize that, but the question I have is what is pulling the sun down into the dimple of space?

There is no down in space. A dimple just refers to the spot the sun occupies where it alters space and time.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

It's the theory of relativity. The more dense an object is and the closer you are to it, the slower time will move for you. It's like in interstellar when the astronauts spend a few hours on planet while the dude up in the space ship sits there for 15 years.

yes and no, what I have always wondered is the Universe expanding in every direction equally. for example launched in the North and South Pole and just kept going straight, would you leave the Milky Way faster than travelling beyond Pluto. We never study the X axis (or at least maybe they just never talk about it to avoid confusing people) All exploration seems to be on Y

 

launching from the south pole and staying course, would essentially be down

If you want to relate directions as to where we are in the milky way then sure, it would make sense to orient ourselves more easily. In the grand concept of space there is no direction though. Plus the "dimple" isn't a directional movement at all.

I understand, thats what makes it so hard for normal people to understand it. The concept of not having directions, or being able to bend space, go beyond what the normal mind is capable of grasping

 

I made it thru the first 2 years of quantum physics/applied physics, and towards the end it was starting to lose me. I really thought when I started this was the field I was going to go into, but it was eventually what led me to quitting college after 3 years. I spent so much time trying to keep up with people who just understood it that much better.

 

I think my first semester, there was like 35 students, and by the end of the second year, it was down to 9. I registered for the 3rd year, there were 7 people in the course, and the professor said roughly 1-25 people actually ever finish the course.

Is it really that hard to understand there is no direction in space, or at least no direction in the up down north south directions we use on earth?

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584]

it must be, because while there is no NSEW, there is up, down, left and right.

 

if 2 men are floating in space and one is looking up at someone above him, that is still up and down. Planes still exist, they still use X-Y-Z as coordinates, however is location based not absolute based. If an astronaut leaves the spacecraft, said spacecraft is 0, traveling (a) meters on X, ( meters on Y, and © meters on Z will give him a location

That is up in that moment for the one astraunaut. If the other is facing him that direction would be forward. So it's all relative to each object or person.

is that on the Al Gore calendar?

 

or maybe the Mayan?

I think this is where the term "lost in space" came from.

I guess the question I was trying to ask is if space time is actually bending based on mass, what direction is it bending in, and why is it bending in that direction?

 

Dumb question?

Well it's not really bending in a direction, but if you wanted to appoint it a direction it would be toward the center of where the pull of gravity is coming from. So bending is an easy way to word the sloped change in time in relation to how far away something is from the center of the mass.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584]

take a piece of paper, and a ball drop the ball in the center...that is the universe, call it whatever direction you want

 

that bend creates gravity, and objects in motion will circle that bowl for infinite time

I have been watching all of my recorded universe shows while being laid off. Holy balls has it been a fun couple of days.

I am addicted to these shows myself. I can not wrap my head around the mathematics and visions that these theoretical physicist have. I especially enjoy listening and reading the works of Michio Kaku.

But the bend is caused by the earths gravity in your example. Why is space time bending one direction over another?

[Mike Honcho 4,034]

It's the theory of relativity. The more dense an object is and the closer you are to it, the slower time will move for you. It's like in interstellar when the astronauts spend a few hours on planet while the dude up in the space ship sits there for 15 years.

 

My office must be by a black hole cause today is taking forever.

[lickin_starfish 1,480]

Where did the matter and energy come from that created the Big Bang?

[NorthernVike 2,080]

How much time do we have left?

[lickin_starfish 1,480]

How much time do we have left?

Not enough for the Cowboys to make it to a Conference Championship game.

Time will slow down if you snug up next to a large mASS...

Those who want science to revert back to the Earth is flat because of religion, those need not bother reading.

We have flat earthers here because of religion? Or are you just repeating something that's just said sometimes so people , mostly libtards, can get a false sense of intellectual superiority?

Thanks for this. When I really want to ponder the deep mysteries of the universe, I usually seek out laid-off pipefitters for enlightenment.

The people who believe the devil planted dinosaur bones on this earth to fool us, and the earth is only 10,000 years old, they are all get that info from religion. If they believe that, then I doubt they have much faith in any information about the universe outside this planet.
