oldest and largest body of water in space.

140 trillion times the amount of water on earth.
black hole at the center bonding the hydrogen to the oxygen. could hydrate 28 galaxies. 12 light years away (which i believe means when we look at it we are seeing 12 billion years into the past).

at that time the universe was only 1.6 billion years old, so with that much water and who knows if its moved or gone somewhere else, that could be potential for a lot of life out in the universe.

The universe is already infinitely big, so it can't get any bigger in the sense you're imagining it.

There isn't a "line" or "border" to the universe where it is expanding into something else.

Your misconception is stemming from a failure to understand infinity.

So apparently there's evidence to suggest that dark-matter is actually primordial black holes that have formed into near perfect circles surrounding galaxies. Which is amazing to think about. If let's say interstellar space travel is possible through black hole theories, this would basically be a train station inbetween galaxies. This is also makes you wonder how the universe even fucking works. This black holes surrounding entire galaxies must serve a purpose. Do they somehow recycle matter into the center of the galaxies where nebulas and white holes reside? Just so many questions from one small incriminate of information.

Has anyone of you even tried to read up on this? It would suffice to simply read the wikipedia article to get an answer to that question:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

tl;dr
there are three possibilities:
-the universe is infinitely large and has a negative curvature
-the universe is infinitley large and has zero curvature
-the universe is finite but has positive curvature thus it still has no boundary

current experiments suggest case 2 since the measured curvature of space lies within measurement error

What do you mean by this?
>>
>>691703954
no curvature means just flat

positive curvature means like the surface of a sphere or a donut, obviously you can travel on its surface without ever hitting a boundary

negative curvature is something like a saddle

but mathematically it comes down to how big the sum of angles of a triangle is in that geometry

>>691704007
yeah
>>
>>691704223
I didn't say it expanded because of gravity. But because of some kind of counter force from black holes. Wich could be dark energy.

I was just reading a bit on Big Bang nucleosynthesis and how quarks and leptons were formed during the early stages then came sub-atomic particles snd so on.

It all goes back to energy. Specifically heat. Energy cannot be created or destroyed but if you get something hot enough u can change its state or create I.E. fusion.

So before tge big bang the universe was hot and dense. So who lit the match? How did it get so hot that from energy something physical was created?

my best, and flawed understanding of time is:
lets use an example, youre holding an apple above a table, and it takes 1 second for it to hit the table. now a second is just a measurement made up by people, like feet or inches. so for this example we'll pretend that 1 foot is 1 second of fall-time. so as time progresses, the only way you can tell is by how far the apple has fallen. 6 inches down its been half a second. cont..

Forget guys about the matter and quarks, how did the heat get there before the big bang? Where did the energy come from? We could be in an endless rebirth cycle and eventually our galaxy will revert back to a single dense point.

But if we find the spark, the origin of energy the rest of the cards fall into place

>>
>>691705884
The universe has been doing this since aeons.

The universe is like a rubberband. It's stretches until it has reached max cap and then it falls back.

Normally, a rubber band would revert to it's original size but, the universe, while falling back, reaches so much force that it cannot stop itself. Thus, getting smaller and smaller, compressing so much stuff and force in just a tiny little space.


And then it starts stretching again.
>>
>>691706474

the shape of space is warped when energy is collected in one place, and mass is energy. It stretches it like, well, like it's something stretchy with something heavy resting on it. That means that the path that light moving in a straight line would take is now a curved line, which means it covers more distance. Light travels at a constant rate, but now it has to travel further, so that's perceived as a slow down in time because it has to move at the same speed yet now covers less distance in a particular interval. I think.

>>
>>691699399
This is what I have read recently.

Basically, the universe is continuing to expand, but there are pockets where Gravity has won. This means as the universe expands, these pockets expand together. In other words, these pockets are keeping there shape, but space around it is expanding.

Our local group is one or these pockets, and we will not be able to travel a different Galaxy that is outside of our local group. This is because we cannot travel faster than the rate at which space is expanding.

The empty spaces outside our local group is populated by dark matter... Something something dark energy.... Something something dark matter.....


Anyway, there is a lot of interesting Ted talks, YouTube channels, and science articles that cover this.

I would recommend watching anything regarding the Fermi paradox too

Basically, the universe is continuing to expand, but there are pockets where Gravity has won. This means as the universe expands, these pockets expand together. In other words, these pockets are keeping there shape, but space around it is expanding.

Our local group is one or these pockets, and we will not be able to travel a different Galaxy that is outside of our local group. This is because we cannot travel faster than the rate at which space is expanding.

The empty spaces outside our local group is populated by dark matter... Something something dark energy.... Something something dark matter.....


Anyway, there is a lot of interesting Ted talks, YouTube channels, and science articles that cover this.

I would recommend watching anything regarding the Fermi paradox too>>691699399

light is a particle and a wave that is the force carrier of the electromagnetic force. When you fuck with an atom, photons pour out as the electrons move around in their orbits and do other atomic shit, they're essentially like little quantum explosions that fire when bits of atoms move around or interact. They carry energy from inside atoms around the universe, often twatting right into other atoms, causing more photons to spill out.

this simply isnt true. All the data we have shows that the universe isnt just expanding but is in fact accelerating. That means it will expand forever until it reaches maximum entropy and there is no energy in the universe for anything to do anything with.

>before the big bang

Asking what was before the big bang is a nonsense question. Like asking "what's north of the north pole?"

That's easy; South is North of the North pole and before the big bang was nothing. Actually I recently read an article that a supermassive black hole has the same time signature as the big bang, there's a theory that another Universe is on the other side of each black hole
>>
>>691709083
Yes there was something but we don't know what. I assume it was some kind of physical thing with mass. But how did this mass get there in the 1st place? If E=mc^2 how did the physical particles become energy that caused the big bang? How does say a lepton, start moving at the the speed of light? How do u go from a qualitative measurement to a quantitative measurement?

Still isn't a true fact. Scientists can agree on an answer but, if that's really the truth, not even they can agree on that.

The big bang was the beginning of time itself.
You're asking what was it like "before time."
That's nonsense.

The only way to semi-accurately describe it is to say what it was like "at the point of the big bang."
>pro tip: it was a singularity -- meaning the big bang didn't create energy or matter.

TBH I'm not surprised at all the nonsense itt. We have people in here who actually believe the Big Crunch is a real thing when it has been pretty much conclusively proved to not be happening.

Serious question about space.

I keep hearing different theories about the universe and essentially the one that doesn't make sense to me is that the universe has an edge - usually tied in with the big bang.

How is this possible? I always just figured that the universe was an infinite expanse with literally no end.

You're trying to apply the normal laws of physics in a scenario where they do not apply. Furthermore, the big bang didn't create energy or matter.

>South is North of the North pole
No, South is south of the North pole.

>before the big bang was nothing
No, it's exactly the opposite. The point of the big bang was a singularity where everything that exists today existed in one infinitely dense point. The big bang didn't create energy or matter.
>>
>>691702502
What is it to undertand about black holes? They are just dense motherfuckers, not some magical gates to other worlds. They are black because light is pulled towards them because of how damn dense they are.
>>
>>691713195
>They are black because light is pulled towards them because of how damn dense they are
Well technically light moves around them in circles because their gravitational fields bend space-time into a perfect circle.
>>
>>691699399
There is nothing.
You cant step over because there is no space there. Nothing means no space so there is nowhere to step to. No time so events cant occur and therefore nothing can occur there. No matter and no energy either. Its not even vacum it just doesnt exist.

All of you people are stupid. Our universe is finite because it's just a simulation a computer capable of running every single physics law.

>>691707126
I think I read somewhere that light, or photons as it were, have there own mass... Red light being less massive and blue light more massive. Can anyone here confirm if this is true or not? Because there's that whole "observable universe accounts for only like >=30% of the mass needed for it to look the way it looks" thing that really bugs me. "Muh dark matter" doesn't quite suffice to me, but I'm an ignorant armchair-cosmologist at best.
