About 4 billion light years from earth.
Now if the whole thing blew up in an instant, 4 billion light years ago, and somehow focused most of the bad stuff toward us from the explosion; wouldn’t that be proof that you never know when the past is gonna bite you in the ass?
As you wonder about how the handful of astrophysics teachers package thier interests, ya might just make your own splash.
Gravity was a big deal when I drank heavy I suppose. But, everything at each moment is occurring as a moment everywhere, even if it’s so far away that it takes billions of years for the light in the eye to get here.
I thought that time was static like that. And I still do to an extent though lots of things warp time both perceptively and objectively depending. So if time also occurs at a distance, as time occurs here, then; there must be other ways to experience that distant entity other than wait until the light gets here. Why must there be other ways? Because it is there and we know it. Of course quantum entanglement may point to some opening up to the concept that there must be other ways than the wait.
And mystics or different cultures do practice connectedness in ways that reflect bridging distance.
My latest theory is that acceleration causes time and why can’t the big bang have higher velocities the further away from the center?
Okay, let’s dig the cool videos. One is a teacher saying he’s simplifying and does a great job: Anton. The other is a leading theoretical astrophysicist who as many do can’t help mix philosophy and the kicking of each other in the ass here and there. Gotta love Sabina.
The dark energy, black hole, universe expansion knowledge is rapidly evolving especially with the latest telescopes. I like how Anton tells you he is pushing boundaries of knowledge vs. theory. This clip is way past sauced awe, and would help to understand the nine levels of nothing video. It takes ya through everything. Check it.
Piece by piece removal makes you notice what’s there. And when it’s all gone is a nothingness beyond? What is that beyond nine levels of nothing? Don’t know? Time for an analogy/metaphor/symbol. Okay that is the ultimate cup that holds everything. Whatever it is or isn’t is proven by the existence of paradox.
Paradox sort of a death of reality/sense/logic, points to there being something vast beyond what reality can make sense of.
Dr. Becky Is fascinated and sweats when she digs deep into theoretical physics of vacuum energy expanding inside black holes, but I’ll get the Pandora image from jwst.
