Safe Mode: On
The Most Astounding Fact About The Universe

500 years ago people believed the Earth was flat, 85 years ago the Milky Way was our universe now we know in a dime size slice in the sky you can find more than 1500 galaxies, and if all goes well the 4th of July will be in science books for the discovery of the Higgs boson.

      Fine, who made those items? Where did the first one come from. Did it pop out of thin .... nothing?

    • @bigair Well if god made them... then who made God? Did he pop out of thin air?

      You are not alone... many try to compare rocks, water and stone to GOD. At least you are thinking.

      Are you asking what made the stars? The stars formed from elementary hydrogen. Hydrogen in turn was formed by sub-atomic particles. The sub-atomic particles came from the energy from the Big Bang. As far as where the Big Bang came from, so far there are only theories.

      in order for big bang you must have had materials of some sort. Here is the deal, you and they have no clue. When these scientist can predict exactly what the weather is going to do tomorrow, then we can start believing them on what happened billions of years ago. It is just too funny.

      You are putting faith in the same guys that just figured out that Pluto wasn't a planet all along???

    Thinking we are the only living planet is an obvious act of sheer ignorance.

  • I commend his ability to relate the mass of the universe on a human level, making it relevant to us and to the common man in general. But the fact that we're made out of cosmic stuff isn't the most astounding fact about the universe.

    We don't even figure in the overall relevance of the universe. If the whole of this planet, even this solar system, hell even this galaxy were to disappear, the universe wouldnt even shrug its shoulders. It simply would never even know we were ever here. It is More..

    • @Saros does it actually have a size ? or is it infinate !infinity is hard to get your head around!but it must be infinate because in order for there to be an end there must be something beyond the end

    • @gIasgow Well I guess I should have said the *observable size* which in theory is 93 billion light years given current technology.

      If you really want to have your mind blown, watch this:

      My favorite video of all time. Gives us some perspective while we're busy here fighting for some scrap of land.

    • @Ally_Gator they dont believe atall!!! in order to believe something you have to understand what it is you believe in!they have never seen allah or touched him or heard him or smelled or tasted him and if you cant do any of these then you are just hoping that the god you are worshoping does exist
      god is just a concept an idea a possible answer to why things are! in order for there to be a god the said god must have some substance! so what is god ?god is an idea that can not be proven or disprov More..

    Questions: Why is there a universe? Why is there anything?

    • @Triode lol! c,mon dont ask silly questions! "universe" is a word made by us humans! as is "multiverse" and "god" universe exists cos we made it up! what you should be asking is why does everything exist? but ofcourse everything in the true sense encompasses "everything" including god! also your thoughts they exist at least in your head ! ah ha!!!
      existance is a concept percieved by you so in order to find the answer you have to define what doesnt exist !b More..

    • @gIasgow ok, fair enough, I stand chastened. But you didn't answer my question Mr. Glasgow - by the way, are you one of those people who live in a Castle in Scotland?

    • @Triode why do birds fly ? because they are able to fly!same as the universe is able to exist ! as soon as as its unable to exist it wont!but the energy and particles will still exist in some form because you cant destroy energy only convert it !

    • @gIasgow you cant make something from nothing so all the energy and all the particles have always existed in some form they are just going through cycles which are endlessly ongoing

      gIasgow (14.40)

    • @gIasgow But where did they come from? Why is there anything at all? Why shouldn't there have been just nothing? No space, time, energy, particles... nothing. Where do all these things come from originally? It's only a question.

      So do you really live in a castle?

    Its about fractals
    and as you watch! if you can imagine that you are not looking at fractals but you are travelling through space like the video above . as you approach each new part it gets bigger and then you pass right through it and keep going ! but each part of the fractal has a different size at any given time and its size is only relev More..
