The size and age of the universe seem to not agree with one another. Astronomers have determined that the universe is nearly 14 billion years old and yet its diameter is 92 billion light years across. How can both of those numbers possibly be true? In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln tells you how.

if everybody leaves their toast in for 8 minutes....this could account for most of the dark matter in the universe
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha
Nice
Priceless. Hahahaha. Oh you are gooooood!!!

Basically space is expanding so fast it’s decreasing our render distance
We better get some cards that can run Crysis installed in Hubble and JWST.
What if dark matter is fog of war.
@BigLBA1 From your POINT of view ;-)
@BigLBA1 so if the expansion isn't limited to light speed, could it mean spacecraft could transit these areas faster than light speed? Does this only apply to areas between galaxies or solar systems that the light speed limit would not apply?
ehh sort of
If the universe is so big, why won’t it fight me?
This is a mind blower. Great video. Thanks.
You say “Nothing travels faster than light.” However, I recall from Doug Adams’s “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” that their spaceship was powered by “bad news” because “nothing travels faster than bad news.” Of course, wherever they went, they were not welcome. Thanks for the clever video.
😁🤣🤣
@@sophiafake-virus2456 don't fall off.
Actually nothing travels faster than the Speed of Love, and its a vector, comes and/or goes
It is true that “nothing@ travels faster than the speed of light, however “something” does
@@sophiafake-virus2456 touch some grass dude
So basically he is saying that we will never ever know how really big the universe is. It’s because we can’t see anything that is beyond 15Billion light years due to the expansion of universe is faster than the speed of light. The fact that we are loosing 20k stars per seconds on our line of sights speaks how fast the universe is expanding. This is very fascinating!
But we know the smallest it could possibly if its curved. Since space measures flat the smallest it could possibly be is 540 billion light years across or we would be able to detect the curvature.
then do they say nothing is faster than light? it sounds like misinformation. i want the truth.
@@briandzwoniarek8952 Yeah, the universe can't expand faster than light, so size can't be more than 13.7 × 2 without someone being full of sheet 💩 There was no big bang.
@@briandzwoniarek8952 nothing can go faster than light, but as in cherenkov radiation light can be slowed down and the charged particles are moving faster than light moves through the water. In quantum entanglement pairs stay entangled at great distances, but nothing can be done with it. So no information is moving faster than light. The galaxy is expanding faster than light, but only from our reference frame. If you stared at the farthest galaxy we can see it would take 120,000 years for it to recede out of sight because it's 120,000 light years across.
@@markburch6253 thanks, im trying to get ahold of this concept. its tough

Short answer: The universe is expanding faster that the speed of light.
@ChickensFTW Well, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in space is the law. But space itself can travel faster than the speed of light. And since the Universe as a net is expanding that means that space itself, not as an object in space, it is able to surpass the speed of light. Basically stuff can't travel faster than the speed of light through space, but space itself can surpass the speed of light. And therefore the Universes distances and lifespans don't, at first, match up.
So are you suggesting space is faster than light?
@@thatsawesome2060 Yes. Space itself is expanding faster than the light inside it.
Because time slows down as you reach the speed of light.
@juggliar A growing universe never made sense to me. If the universe grows the first questions as cliche as that sounds is: into what? Than the answer would be nothing. What is this nothing then? In what way does it seperate itself from empty space. Something that grows has a definite size. It is not infinite. Yet science has no idea what lies beyond the observable. "Because many predictions about the Big Bang have been proven with observational data, we tend to accept it as fact, even though it's still only a popular theory. ... As the story goes, Einstein thought Hubble's theory was flawed. His belief was that the universe was static, rather than steady state."
I appreciate the deep dives on this channel... great vids, but I'm also a little surprised at the "absolute" way some of this is presented. We are still pretty limited in our knowledge, so much of this is a scientific guess (or theory).
If something in the universe has been seen or measured - especially if it has been seen or measured by multiple teams using different methodologies, and so the probability of it being a fact is high - then it's not just a guess, it can be treated as a fact. Prof Lincoln tends to do videos about aspects of the universe that have been thoroughly tested out - and everything he talks about in this video has been thoroughly tested. So yes - you can talk about those things as facts. If you've got the training and the equipment, you can test them out yourself, you don't have to take his word for it. That's what's so good about science, good scientists are very clear about the data and methodologies they used and the probability of their claims being true. And any lab in any country can repeat the tests and check the claim for themselves - it's not a matter of opinion or belief. He's also explicit about things we don't know, and things we think are true but have not been tested exhaustively yet. But this video is about well verified facts.
@@nycbearff I hear you and for the most part I agree... that's why I like this channel, but to say everything in this video has been thoroughly tested out and proven as fact is not a great scientific statement. For example, at the beginning of the video the age of the universe is mentioned and Prof Lincoln states "if you take that number as a given" then references another video. A better statement is "we assume the age of the universe from what we currently know." And that's what I'm pushing on... our knowledge is far more limited than we like to think... our universe could be way older... we are simply relying on our current methods of measurement and we all know how much things change as technology changes. So to recap: my push was on how absolute some of the things were presented that are only "absolute based on our current set of measuring tools and knowledge base"... that moves things from fact back to theory, where science operates best. My guess is, if pushed, Pro Lincoln would agree, but that tends to make a more cluttered video.

Excellent video. Earned a new sub.
To clarify (I had to google this up to confirm), when Don says our visible universe is 46 bya, that's in one direction. So the sphere of visible-ness is 93 b light years across.
He said radius of 46bya thus double it for diameter across.

In a video presenation like this, apparently it becomes common to omit important details on the reasons behind and assumptions. I have more questions than answers after watching this. How can he casually state that the universe is expanding faster than light without mentioning that this goes against Einstein's relativity. But interesting anyway.
@@g1ld he clearly stated dark energy is a factor and there is more dark matter and energy than regular matter in the universe, thats why space is moving away faster and faster, space is made up of about 93% dark matter and dark energy
Brilliant explanation, I’ve just had a rare “ moment of clarity” 💡thanks 👍
I have often wondered this, so thanks for the video! The answer is the expanding universe. It reminds me of the Slow Heat Death theory.
Thanks Don. This is one of my favourite videos.!! Can someone clarify me this: If CMB radiation that arrives today to us was emitted 13,7 b years ago at a distance of only 42 million ly, does this means that all galaxies we see today (even the most distant) were closer than 42 million ly when the radiation was emited?
I guess the point in space that those galaxies we can see now occupy would have been well within the 42 million ly radius. But there weren't any galaxies at the point in time the CMB was emitted. The oldest galaxies we can see would have formed several hundred million years after the time the CMB originated from.
Thanks for your answer. Let me ask it in another way: the univers expands in different rates during different periods. Huge expansion at the begging, low expansion till 7/8 b years and accelerate expansion till now. The CMB radiation during its trip from 42 Mly to us today, has found all these expansion rates, that made it last 13,7 b years. During the first period, did the radiation got away from us due to the high expansion and in the other late periods make up lost ground?
No, the closer galaxies (eg 1b ly away) moved out of 42 million ly sphere 1b years ago.

@8:00 finally, someone explains why our field of vision is the centre of the universe. I always wondered how this medieval concept slipped into modern astronomy.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Egocentricity wins again! The Catholic Church will love that part of the video. Obviously, but not stated, is that everywhere in the universe is the same. If our Sun was in Andomeda or HD1 (farthest detected galaxy) the exact same principles apply. Everywhere it the centre of the universe, as far as we know.
this is EXACTLY what i came here for. it always seems like its a given that we are the exact center of the universe. i thought i was going crazy
Context matters. Here in the context of observable universe, earth is the center because of that's the property of light. In medieval astronomy, claims like earth is the center of the solar system or Milky Way have been debunked. Don't mix the two.
Thank you for such a clear explanation of this nugget of physics!

You should do your take on axionic dark matter. I love PBS Space Time and am not afraid to admit that, while Mat is an excellent science communicator, some of the videos take multiple viewing to feel I've really grasped the key ideas. Mat O'Dowd definitely varies the intellectual level of his videos with some being fun and, in the level he covers it, I understand - all quasars, blazars and radio galaxies with lobes that seem to defy the laws of cause and effect, their opposite lobes stretch so discombobulatingly far from each other.
One question - is the speed of light constant between 'now' all the way back to the Big Bang? That is to say, if we somehow had a view from "outside" the universe, would we see the speed of light drop dramatically from the instant of the BB, gradually leveling out to its present value here/'now'?
Good question. There’s no way to possibly answer it. Any answer would be unscientific.
Bottom line: Even the entire Universe runs away from you. Damn, we suck 🤔
Lol
Well, the alternative would suck even more!
It's nothing personal. The Universe doesn't run away from you... instead everything in the Universe runs away from everything else in the Universe. More or less.

It was toasted for 3 minutes, but because of the expansion of the universe it was actually toasted 90 minutes.

@@ion9084 I feel like that was a subtle joke. If your bread is in the toaster for 8 mins, it’s gonna come out looking like that lol.
Since the universe is expanding, light from distant stars takes longer to reach earth, since the speed of light is determined only relative to the source, not the object. So the distance between earth and any distant star can't be accurately calculated unless we know the relative speed between earth and the star.

Awesome video!
Beginning of the universe is such a wonderful mystery!! I Have many questions in this regard. Considering that the present universe we know started with a big bang- which means there was a singularity in the beginning/does it mean there was no space at all? Or with a big bang suddenly the space got created, then what was the volume of that space and the light ( or the ancient light) that was available during that time had a possibility of travelling in a space or has it kind of helped in pushing the space? What if we have ample of light in a very very limited space? Does light always need a space? Another thing that I am also wondering about, is the speed of light has been constant since the very beginning, or it did kind of EVOLVE?

Since gravity binds us in an expanding universe does that mean technically(or literally) we are moving towards the objects we are bound too? Kind of like having a book and a dot in the middle at the edge of front and back cover… opening the book is like expanding the universe but since the dots must stay the same distance apart(let’s say an inch as the book is an inch think cover to cover) they would travel down until they were both at the middle of the spine of the book. Technically traveling through space and even accelerating as the expansion does.

Essentially it's a void in space but where did these voids source from? that is the real question that even the greatest physicists and scientists cannot answer.

I just re-watched this again and now the question comes to mind that space-time is expanding beyond the speed of light? Only Don Lincoln can get the rusty old gears in head turning again and rekindling my long dormant childhood curiosity.
Yeah It seems to me he didn't really answer the original question! He just put it in a different context, but the original point isn't addressed.
The problem ultimately hinges on, how can galaxies (the largest *material objects* in the universe) travel away faster than light, if the speed of light is understood to be an absolute speed limit? Or is it supposed to mean that it is the frame of spacetime itself that's expanding much faster than the speed of light, not the journeys of any individual galaxies and stars in the cosmos?
it is the space expanding not the galaxies travelling faster than light. Basic of relativity
@@IvanC64 Okay, but then it seems to follow that "total space" (or spacetime in general?) is radically different from intergalactic space as such . because otherwise no galactic groups would be able to hold together over time. If we accept the idea that space - between galaxies - is expanding faster than the speed of light seen from great distances within space, then it follows that space around/within our Local Group of galaxies, or even around the Virgo Cluster, is ALSO expanding faster than the speed of light in multiple directions, seen from some vantage points far away in the universe. Obviously such an expansion would seem to pull our Local Group apart in just a couple of million years! 😃
It is called Big Rip. In any case the faster than light expansion happened during inflation. Now the apparent speed is lower than that speed otherwise you would simply not see anything at those distances
@@IvanC64 Most astrophysicists I've heard of would say that the Hubble Constant applies throughout time, so therefore at enough distance, galaxies would seem to move faster than the speed of light - in the present, too! (which would lead to the consequences I sketched above)
My wife’s takeaway from this video: “Don’t pay to have a star named after you... it’s just going to disappear anyway.”
I don't think anyone is naming stars outside of our galaxy (or at least our local group) so I'd say she is wrong.
I knew I shouldn't have done those bong hits before watching this video.
sogerc1 If the star died and is no longer there we still see the light coming because of the distance and eventually the light will all get to us and it will no longer be seen! She is correct!

Why can’t they use scientist to explain a death of someone just 200 hundred years ago? And why is DNA just got figured out just 40-45 years ago? Why is science better just 100 years ago and not 1000 years ago? Why math is based on guessing 200-250 Yrs ago and not 1000 yrs ago? But the Bible explains everything of life of 6000 Yrs ago.

If I understood correctly, space is expanding with a speed that is faster than the speed of light? If this is true, they why do we keep hearing that there is nothing faster than the speed of light? Could the answer is that space is not expanding faster than the speed of light, but it seems that way because we and the rest of space are simultaneously moving away from each other in different directions?
They say even they are expanding with space and exceeds the speed of light, to the observer, the relative speed is still less than the speed of light. They call it the relative speed with the observer.
Interesting Video. Then the obvious next question is, if the universe is really limited in space-time, what comes after? And if its really expanding, what is the content that it is expanding in?

Ora bolas, então o que ´fixo, o que imutavel, o que é a verdade final etc., etc., a resposta é que a verdade final e imutavel é que tudo muda, não lhe parece um paradoxo? O que é imutavel é que nada é imutavel.
The more I learn about this, the more convinced I am that we really have no idea what we're talking about.
They are now saying the universe is actually 28 billion years old according to recent discoveries as opposed to 14 billion. This guy is literally wrong by his own ideology. You are on the point. I'm am a Christian but I'm not going to sit here and lecture. All I will say is no scientific idea can ever explain the "creator of the creation of the universe". No single Big Bang, simulation, continious Big Bang, split universe, or etc can be made without yet another creation which leads to the "actual" begining. The only explanation is at some point, there was a "creator" who was not created and doesn't follow the laws of science and human knowledge. That sounds like God, something who doesn't need a creator and tells us that there are things we cannot understand as humans on Earth. Another evidence is our supposidly infinite universe...that has one planet with abundence of life. That is statistically impossible as if the unvierse is infinite and there is one case of life, then it should be literally everywhere, even just for human survival (not even talking about bacteria in underwater volcanoes or what we can't understand) as it is confirmed possible. Yet through any visible signs, movement of space dust, archeologic evidence on asteroids or moons or planets, gas trails, communication through waves being irregular or anything else has never even appeared; even when conspiracy channels grasp for straws there is still nothing. So how can only 1 exist out of infinity, especially after supposidly 14 or 28 billion years? That sounds like a miracle to me...see where I'm going here lol (come on that was a little clever). Stay skeptical friend because we will never know anything for sure. I'm not some monk either, I'm 19 year old dude and the more I learn the more faith I get and more skeptical I get. Good luck friend.
I don't recommend looking at the sun, or burning your toast
Less than a minute in and you've already taught me that I have no idea how long my toaster takes.
Of all the information given that's what you are getting from? Hahaha
@Planet Purgatory Sounds like an open and shut case. Consider me a convert, but I'm ashamed as an American to say that I don't have a deep fryer at the ready for my morning routine.
8,2 min
That long will burn your bread to coal
You're trying to be funny,? Of course you know that's not how coal is made... By burning I mean.
I still don't understand how anything can be further than 14 billion years away from anything else. Wouldn't that imply that something moved faster than the speed of light? ...assuming everything came from one place at bib bang?
Maybe it took 14 billion years for the galaxies to travel 92 billion light years apart due to their speed of travel
If it takes you 8 minutes to make toast, then I think you don't understand time as well as you think you do🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣
Lol, was thinking the same!
That's why it was burnt :)
Broken/worn toaster lol
I guess that makes it "dark toast!
Lol you don’t understand science, if you understood the impact of the pixie fart constant in the differential syslunar space interstitial parabola of the hog’s bosom you would not be making fun of this fantastic genius! But you don’t because you don’t have phd, so listen and take everything at face value. If it was geocentric then all he said would make so sense... but it’s not, because it’s heliocentric, we have billions and billions of evidence of it, but I cannot show it to you because you would not understand. So take your chances with his word salad. (Man I am listening to this fool while I am typing and really.... it would be funny if it wasn’t all made up with our money)
This dude seems so chill. 21st century Mr. Rogers. Won't you be my subscriber? I think so Mr. Fermilab. I think so.
Nostalgic G4mer so true
Having met him in person, hes not the nicest guy in the world :/
@@Sporkyz74 I'm sure Mr. Rogers was a total asshole too
The way he suggests to subscribe is sublime and excellent. He actually made that part palatable (usually the 'subscribe' part is off putting to me). " I think so Mr. Fermilab. I think so." A great presentation. Easy to watch and understand. Well done!
Mr. Rogers and this guy have totally different careers. Wouldn't it make more sense to compare him to someone like Bill Nye?
Best explanation
I like you have a nine cell 1.3 GHz superconducting niobium cavity sketched on the blackboard. Takes me back to HEPL at Stanford where the first of these cavities were developed.
Works at Fermi. Can't even make a proper toast. The current state of science.
Define 'toast'
Hahaha can do the math on the blackboard but can't make toast
He shouldn't have to. Let the scientists focus on science, give them whatever they need

I'm still expanding like the universe and my shoes are becoming harder to see.
Provided that the expansion rate is not slowed or even reversed.
I knew this guy was legit when I saw all those equations on the chalk board behind him.
It’s actually the equation he uses to calculate how long to toast his bread

That piece of toast spent 8 minutes on the sun
Best comment.
Beat me to it lol
Yeah, I was thinking after 8 minutes toast is usually inedible.
Apparently,The toaster is hotter than the sun.

This is one of those things that when you try to analyse in earthly terms, things just don't fit. The reason that the two time spans don't agree is that time and distance having the interconnection have two different dimentions thus two different time spans.
These are soooooo good!!!!!!!
I see 14k comments in just a few months on a video from Fermilab and think: "Maybe humanity isn't lost after all!" Than scroll down and see half of them are about burning your toast... *facepalm*
Hey, getting toast just right is a serious problem for physics.
I truly regret it, but I must reveal to you the great secret, humanity is truly at an end.
Do you KNOW how BAD burned toast can smell?! 😁😁😁😁
If science can't even get toast right, what good is it?
It's the little things in life that matter the most. Like the perfect golden piece of toast.
Whoever told this guy to keep his hands moving while he talks is feeling pretty satisfied I imagine.
And his head
He gets a dollar for every shake!
You laugh, but someday he'll be the first human to achieve self-propelled flight!
@@koenvandamme6901.. He is already... He's even flying Billions of years
If he stuck his hands in his pockets would he go mute?
So if the most distant galaxy is 46 billion lightyears away, and it moved away from us at the speed of light and the speed of light came to use from that galaxy at the speed of light, does that mean that the universe would have to be 92 billion years old?
The way it dumbed down. I feel like I can become a scientist now. Thank you for helping us understand
3:15 let's make a visualization of the big bang. And let's put stars in the background... :-|
I noticed that too hahahaha
Oops!
You think those are stars, but they actually are parallel universes
Yeah it's pretty lame
They know the secret.
Though I comprehend little of this subject , my interest in this stuff is intense.. And, he is such a good speaker!
The channel "kurzgesagt in a nutshell" have great videos about this subject and others. The one called "limits of humanity", if i remembered correctly, talks about some topics discussed here.
Esses 15 B de anos luz marca o limite onde a expansão se dá numa velocidade maior que a luz.
I have a question regarding the rate of expansion of the universe. How do astronomers calculate the rate of expansion of the universe? And is the rate of expansion linear, parabolic, a sine function or exponential? And how did they determine that? Additionally, in the past the universe could have slowed down before humans came on to the scene so how would we actually know which function describes the rate of expansion?
Look up Hubble's Law...
@@philcoombes2538 I know about the "law" but they're making an extraordinary number of assumptions. How can a puny human with 3 to 4 pounds of gray matter think they can understand the entirety of the Cosmos? Sorry but as much as I like astronomy, cosmology (the subset of astronomy) is making a lot of assumptions about the universe.
@@StaticBlaster Well, you start with assumptions. Then you get to testing which ones are true and which ones aren't. That's the scientific method.
"Nothing is faster than the speed of light!" Universe while expanding: "Are you challenging me?"
Best comment
The universe is not and object so why could it not expand faster than light Its not fysical
Light need space to move, so space do what it should do making more space.
