Inside space? Is there a place where the matter ends and it's just empty space? And then path that space? Is there something else that's not space? Can space have an edge? Right? And so that to me is the is this concept of the universe all the matter in all the space, okay, things beyond that space? If there is anything there I would consider not part of our universe.

Imagine how big is the universe?

Does it go on forever? Is it just a little bit bigger than we can see? Does it wrap around on itself? Is it some other crazy thing. That's what we are going to try to tackle today. We went out in the street and we asked people what they thought about this. The biggest of questions.

Oh man, it's pretty big, Like I'm pretty sure it's like because like we don't really know much about it, so I'm pretty I wanna say, like pretty big, like it's really unmeasurable.

I remember reading some of where that's like it's always growing, so it's like infinite.

I remember reading some of where that's like it's always growing, so it's like infinite.

Right, So most people seem to feel like, wow, the universe is pretty big, right. Some people thought it was like infinite, and some people thought just just really big.

It's only as far as I can see.

That's right, And astrue, that's really interesting because I bet like if you ask prehistoric man how big is the universe? They would just like say, like, look around you, this is what there is, and they couldn't even really imagine. So let's break it down. There's all the stuff right as particles. There's a matter right, you know, this matter.

There's one other component which I think is a little less usual for people to think about, and that's the space.

Space. Okay.

I would think of the universe as all the stuff and all the space that it's in.

Okaya, like the stuff we can actually move around in.

Yes, the place we can move around in the space we have.

Yes, the place we can move around in the space we have.

At some point that space ends.

At some point that space ends.

Yeah, the space could end right now. Somebody out there listening, you smart, good looking listener, you might be thinking, what how good space possibly end? He's talking about space like it's a thing, like it's water and the fish could run into the end of it or something. But briefly, we should just remind people that space is not just emptiness. It's not just a backdrop. It's not just the nothing in which stuff happens. It's stuff. It has properties. It can bend and expand and ripple and do all sorts of weird, crazy stuff, and so we know that it's a thing. It's a dynamic physical thing that can do stuff, So we have to consider the possible that it ends. Like that's part of the question how big is the universe? Is how much space is there? And can it end?

Yeah, the space could end right now. Somebody out there listening, you smart, good looking listener, you might be thinking, what how good space possibly end?

Right?

Right?

It's like we're fish and we're asking how big is the ocean?

It's like we're fish and we're asking how big is the ocean?

Yeah, yeah, okay, exactly how big is the I wonder do you think fish wonder about how big is the ocean?

Yeah, yeah, okay, exactly how big is the I wonder do you think fish wonder about how big is the ocean?

I think fish wonder about not getting eaten by other fish p occupation?

But in our universe you're saying space might have a limit to it, like there might be an end to it. Yeah, but so is it like a wall or is it like a What does it mean for it to be at the edge of space?

But in our universe you're saying space might have a limit to it, like there might be an end to it. Yeah, but so is it like a wall or is it like a What does it mean for it to be at the edge of space?

Well, there could be an edge to space, and to think about what that means. We have to think about what space is a little bit more like we have to think about whether space can curve or if space is flat? Right, And this kind of stuff is really hard to think about in three dimensions, like what does it mean for space xyz space right xyz being one, two, three dimensions, the curve really hard to think about because it's hard for us to think about that about space curving in some higher dimensions. So usually it's best if we think about it in two dimensions, so we can think about it as curving in that third dimension. So imagine that we are two dimensional scientists. We're like living on a sheet of paper where we can only move in two dimensions like X and y, and then we can ask those two dimensional scientists can ask is our space curved? Is our paper universe curved?

Well, there could be an edge to space, and to think about what that means.

We're like living on a sheet of paper where we can only move in two dimensions like X and y, and then we can ask those two dimensional scientists can ask is our space curved? Is our paper universe curved?

Right?

Right?

And that changes the answer, Like say you discover that it is curved and it has a positive curvature. Positive curvature would be like on the surface of a sphere or a planet. Right, if it has positive curvature, that has consequences for its shape, because if it's positively curved, it can't go on forever, right, Like the Earth. You're standing on the surface of the Earth and you know the Earth is curved, and that means that Earth can't be infinitely big, right.

Right, right, So you're saying, at the edge of the universe, maybe the space space is curved, and.

Right, right, So you're saying, at the edge of the universe, maybe the space space is curved, and.

Well, maybe it's a possibility. You have to consider that maybe space is curved everywhere. If the universe had curved space, and it was positively curved, that would mean that it could be sort of looped on itself very naturally, the same way the surface of a planet is, and you could travel around it through space and not really get to the edge, right, Like where is the edge of the Earth? Well, the Earth, the surface of the Earth, the two dimensional surface doesn't have an edge.

Well, maybe it's a possibility. You have to consider that maybe space is curved everywhere. If the universe had curved space, and it was positively curved, that would mean that it could be sort of looped on itself very naturally, the same way the surface of a planet is, and you could travel around it through space and not really get to the edge, right, Like where is the edge of the Earth? Well, the Earth, the surface of the Earth, the two dimensional surface doesn't have an edge.

Like people in Earrctoric times, maybe they saw the Earth around them and it thought, oh man, this is pretty big. It probably goes on forever, but they didn't know that actually the land curved.

Like people in Earrctoric times, maybe they saw the Earth around them and it thought, oh man, this is pretty big. It probably goes on forever, but they didn't know that actually the land curved.

That's right.

That's right.

And it turns out that we're actually kind of on this sphere and if you keep going in one direction, you kind of loop back around.

And it turns out that we're actually kind of on this sphere and if you keep going in one direction, you kind of loop back around.

That's right. Yeah. And it's not like you get to the edge and you get magically trans boarded back to where you started or something. There's no you know, shortcut or magic there on the surface of the Earth. You keep walking, you come back to where you.

That's right. Yeah. And it's not like you get to the edge and you get magically trans boarded back to where you started or something. There's no you know, shortcut or magic there on the surface of the Earth. You keep walking, you come back to where you.

Start, just connected back onto itself exactly.

Start, just connected back onto itself exactly.

That's the key.

That's the key.

So that's a space like space that we're in could kind of like, if you keep going in one direction in a spaceship, you'll come back around to the same.

So that's a space like space that we're in could kind of like, if you keep going in one direction in a spaceship, you'll come back around to the same.

Spot exactly, and the way you said it was perfect. It's the connection. So we like to talk about space by using this analogy of living in two dimensions and thinking about it being curved in a third dimension. Now, pop that up to three dimensions, right, because we know our space is at least three dimensions.

So we like to talk about space by using this analogy of living in two dimensions and thinking about it being curved in a third dimension.

My god, that could be a great sponsor.

My god, that could be a great sponsor.

That's right, So pop that up into your three dimensional space, right, and then you can ask, well, what does it mean for three dimensional space to be curved? Well, it's not that we imagine that it's curved in some other fourth dimension. It's not that it's hanging in four dimensional space and has a curvature in it. It's how the space is connected. We call it intrinsic curvature because it reflects how one part of space is connected to another part of space. So without hanging in four dimensions, you can be connected in a way that space is curved and you loop back on yourself without ever really noticing.

So without hanging in four dimensions, you can be connected in a way that space is curved and you loop back on yourself without ever really noticing.

So when we talk about the size of the universe, we mean that it has maybe some kind of edge, but maybe that edge is not like how we think of an edge as like a stub or a wall. Maybe it's just kind of looped around, and so the size of it is kind of like this blob of space.

So when we talk about the size of the universe, we mean that it has maybe some kind of edge, but maybe that edge is not like how we think of an edge as like a stub or a wall. Maybe it's just kind of looped around, and so the size of it is kind of like this blob of space.

Right, yeah, exactly. And the possible answers for the size of the universe depend on how it's curved. Right. If it's positively curved, then it can only really be like a big sphere, which means it's finite if it would have been negative. If it's not right, if it's flat. If space is like it doesn't curve intrinsically, then it could potentially go on forever. If space is negatively curved, that's like the shape of a saddle, it's a negative curvature, then it could have all sorts of really weird shapes. But it could still be infinite.

Right, yeah, exactly. And the possible answers for the size of the universe depend on how it's curved. Right.

If space is negatively curved, that's like the shape of a saddle, it's a negative curvature, then it could have all sorts of really weird shapes. But it could still be infinite.

Okay, so the options are infinite or not infinite.

Okay, so the options are infinite or not infinite.

That pretty much categorized the options for everything. How big is your househoord, Hey, is it infinite or non infinite? I want to see that option actually on Zillo from.

That pretty much categorized the options for everything. How big is your househoord, Hey, is it infinite or non infinite? I want to see that option actually on Zillo from.

The Yeah, I would love to have infinite square feet house.

Would I needed to look forever for your kid's shoes? Right? Where'd you put them? I put them in room number somewhere between here in infinity.

Would I needed to look forever for your kid's shoes? Right? Where'd you put them? I put them in room number somewhere between here in infinity.

Yeah. So let's talk about the possibilities of what could be beyond the observable universe. I mean, we talked a little bit about before about maybe it's infinite, maybe it's not infinite. Do we really have no idea whether the actual universe is just a little bit bigger than the observable universe, much bigger than the observerable universe, or it could be infinite. We really have sort of no indication of which possibility it is.

We have a few clues, they're kind of indirect, and I want to talk about that some more. But first let's take a quick break.

One clue comes from the curvature of space. We talked earlier about how the curvature of space affects how the size of the universe could be. And if a space is curved positively or negative or flat, that limits the options, right, So that's something we can measure. We can measure it here. We can look around us and measure how curved is space in our universe? And that might be a bit of a puzzler, right, like, how does that mean? How could space be curved? How could you possibly measure it? And to think about that, it's best to go back to the two dimensional example. You're living on the surface of a planet. For example. If you were a two dimensional scientist living on the surface of a planet or some surface, and you wanted to know is this surface curved? What you could do is make a triangle, because triangles are very sensitive to curvature. For example, you draw a triangle on a sheet of paper, you add up the angles, then you get one hundred and eighty degrees every triangle, every flat surface, no matter what beautiful.

Results basic geometry.

Results basic geometry.

That's right. Yeah, Now imagine that triangle sitting on the surface of a tennis ball. You can draw a triangle on the surface of a tennis ball that has three right angles on it, because triangles behave differently on a curved surface.

That's right. Yeah, Now imagine that triangle sitting on the surface of a tennis ball. You can draw a triangle on the surface of a tennis ball that has three right angles on it, because triangles behave differently on a curved surface.

Yeah, imagine that it could be ninety degrees, meaning that it adds up to two hundred and seventy degrees.

Yeah, imagine that it could be ninety degrees, meaning that it adds up to two hundred and seventy degrees.

Yeah, exactly. So let's take a break, so everyone can go get a tennis ball and as sharpie and try this at home, and we'll be right back when you have your tennis ball. All right, assuming you're holding a tennis ball and you've annoyed your partner or your spouse or your time by drawing triangles on it, you can see the triangles behave differently on a.

Curveda It looks kind of bloated.

Curveda It looks kind of bloated.

Yeah, yeah, it looks distorted. And so if you just make a triangle and add up the angles, you can see whether or not the space you're in is curved or flat.

Yeah, yeah, it looks distorted. And so if you just make a triangle and add up the angles, you can see whether or not the space you're in is curved or flat.

Is that kind of a great way to think about the curvature space. It's kind of like a distortion of space.

Is that kind of a great way to think about the curvature space. It's kind of like a distortion of space.

Yes, yes, it's a distortion and how the pieces of space are connected to each other, which changes how you move through space changes like how you can get from one spot in space to another spot in space.

Yes, yes, it's a distortion and how the pieces of space are connected to each other, which changes how you move through space changes like how you can get from one spot in space to another spot in space.

Yeah, like I think I'm going straight, but I'm actually kind of being distorted in one way or the other.

Yeah, like I think I'm going straight, but I'm actually kind of being distorted in one way or the other.

Yeah, it changes what straight means.

Yeah, it changes what straight means.

Okay, So then the curvature might give some clues as to whether, like we wrap around in ourselves or whether we don't. I mean, that's all it can tell us, right, it's whether we're in a sphere or we're not in a sphere.

Okay, So then the curvature might give some clues as to whether, like we wrap around in ourselves or whether we don't. I mean, that's all it can tell us, right, it's whether we're in a sphere or we're not in a sphere.

Well, there's one other option, which is that we're on a sort of a saddle. Space is negatively curved. Imagine you have a sheet of pain paper that's formed sort of like a bowl, right, the opposite of a sphere, and you're in the middle of that bowl. You can draw a triangle in that and it will have angles of less than one hundred and eighty degrees. You measure the distortion. Yeah, yeah, not quite a bowl, because that's just the inside of a sphere, but something that has a sort of saddle shape. And so you draw triangle, you make a measurement, and that tells you. And so we've done that. We've made those triangles and we've measured them to very high precision in three dimensional space.

Like physicists have done this in the sheet of the universe.

Like physicists have done this in the sheet of the universe.

Yes, exactly. We've done it in two different ways, at least that I can think of off the top of my head. One is that we looked at giant cosmic triangles in space. You know, we've looked at the cosmic microwave background radiation, this leftover photons from the birth of the universe, and drawn these triangles and measured the angles and they come out to one hundred and eighty degrees. It seems like space is flat. Pace is flat. We're nearly flat. Yeah, and that's a puzzle. It's really interesting that a lot of people wonder, like, why is space flat? We've measured to be flat to within you know, zero point one percent, and for a long time that was a mystery.

But some people do think that space could be curved, like what would why would Why would that be weird?

But some people do think that space could be curved, like what would why would Why would that be weird?

Yeah, And well that leads perfectly into the second way we've measured the curvature of space, which is you might ask what causes space to curve? Right, why would you expect space to be curved or flat or negatively curved? And the answer is that the thing that curved space is matter. Right, You put stuff matter and energy into space and it curves it. That's what general relativity tells us that that gravity is in fact the curvature of space. So we know that space gets curved. Like you put the Sun in the center of the Solar System, it curves space so that the Earth very naturally moves in a circle around it. Right, that's an impact of the curvature of space. Nobody's turning the Earth. Nobody's like driving the Earth around the Sun, right, but constantly turning. It's moving in what it considers to be a straight line, but the space is curved, so it's just moving constantly in an orbit.

Gravity is not like a force pulling the Earth towards the Sun. But gravity is more like its distorting the space around the Sun so that the Earth just kind of naturally goes around it.

Gravity is not like a force pulling the Earth towards the Sun. But gravity is more like its distorting the space around the Sun so that the Earth just kind of naturally goes around it.

That's right, That's a great way to think about it. And so matter distorts space and causes curvature of space. And so you can ask is there enough matter and energy in the universe to curve space or to make it negatively curved or positively curved? Right? And if space is totally empty, if there's no matter in it at all, then it's negatively curved. You have to add energy and matter to make space zero have zero curvature, and so we've measured this. We've measured to total energy.

It naturally wants to be negatively curved, but if you add stuff to it, then it gets straighter.

It naturally wants to be negatively curved, but if you add stuff to it, then it gets straighter.

That's right. With no energy density in it at all, would have negative curvature, And so you add stuff to it. In fact, if you add I think it's six hydrogen atoms worth of energy per square meter, then space has zero curvature. It's between five and six. And so we've measured the amount of stuff that's in the universe and it all adds up to be just about the right number to make space be not curved, which is seems like a weird coincidence, right, It seems like an important clue, like, why does all the stuff in the universe happen to add up to the number that's just right to make space not be curved?

Space seems to be flat. At least space in our part of the universe seems to be flat. Could be that in other parts of the universe it's nerved, right, But in our part of the universes seems to be flat.

And we think that sort of a that it maybe extends out to as far as we can see.

And we think that sort of a that it maybe extends out to as far as we can see.

Yeah, it seems to follow the same rules. Okay, and so you're absolutely right. That rules out, you know, the potato universe that we're living on the surface of this huge cosmic potato or bubble universe whatever. It rules out the saddle universe where the universe's negative curvature. Seems like space is flat, which is.

Flat, and it would go in one direction forever. I'll just keep going.

Flat, and it would go in one direction forever. I'll just keep going.

Not necessarily, right, we know space is flat. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's infinite. It's a natural idea, right If space is flat, then it doesn't curve on itself, and so it seems like you could be able to go on.

Forever earlier that you can't just have a wall.

Forever earlier that you can't just have a wall.

Can't just have a wall. But but since we don't know what space is, we don't really know how it works, we don't really know how it's connected. It's still possible that it could be flat but connected in a weird way. So where one edge is connected to the other edge, like you go flat, you're moving through flat space, but it just loops on back on itself, like it's connected in that way, like an asteroids game. You know, you go at the edge of the screen, but you appear on the.

Yeah, yeah, and not necessarily teleport, Like that could just be the way space is connected.

Yeah, yeah, and not necessarily teleport, Like that could just be the way space is connected.

So that's weird. That's that wouldn't feel you mean, like an asteroid games or like pac Man where you walk off one side of the screen and suddenly you appear on the other side. Like that is possibility. Physicists are like, hey, that could be true.

So that's weird. That's that wouldn't feel you mean, like an asteroid games or like pac Man where you walk off one side of the screen and suddenly you appear on the other side. Like that is possibility. Physicists are like, hey, that could be true.

That certainly could be true, Yes, absolutely, But the other possibility is also true, which is maybe it just goes on forever. Right, it could be that the that space goes on forever, and that's also kind of weird because that's infinite space.

That certainly could be true, Yes, absolutely, But the other possibility is also true, which is maybe it just goes on forever. Right, it could be that the that space goes on forever, and that's also kind of weird because that's infinite space.

Infinite space.

Infinite space.

Yeah yeah, and it could be that space is flat, but it just ends because we can't see past the observable universe, and so we have intuition and ideas and speculation and we think, oh, this would be more natural, or that would be more natural, or I wish the universe looked that way, but at this point that's all we can do. Yeah. So it's a fascinating concept, infinity, because, as you say, if things go on forever and then you get infinite number of tries at everything, then that means that, given quantum randomness, you really do get every possibility out there. So it means it's somewhere out there, there's a universe where we're recording a podcast and I'm named Jorge and you're named Daniel, and right, you know, another universe where every possible thing you can imagine happens. That's really true, I mean, it's actually happening. If there is an infinite universe with infinite space, it means it could be really far away and we could never get there, and prove it. But if that is reality, then it's really happening right now, which is crazy to think about it.

Right right, we just will never see it.

Right right, we just will never see it.

We'll never see it, yeah, or if we wait long enough, maybe we would. But it's also so it's on one hand, like really crazy to imagine infinite universe with infinite stuff in it. On the other hand, it's sort of natural, right, Like what's the simplest explanation is it's simpler to imagine an edge, right, like a limited amount of stuff. I find those ideas to be sort of weird, and they sort of call back to, you know, geocentrism, the idea that we're the center, we're an important place in the universe. It's much more natural for me to think the universe just goes on forever and we're just at one dot in a random spot in it. Wow. Otherwise they have to explain, like why the universe began here, Like imagine the scenario the infinite space but finite stuff scenario. Then you have to ask, why did the Big Bang happen here and not fifty billion light years to the left or to the right.

In that infinite space? Why is that clump matter here? Where we are.

In that infinite space? Why is that clump matter here? Where we are.

Yeah, So my personal preference, based on no science at all, is the infinite space, infinite stuff universe because it sort of puts to rest some of those questions who raises others?

Yeah, So my personal preference, based on no science at all, is the infinite space, infinite stuff universe because it sort of puts to rest some of those questions who raises others?

Right? It doesn't raise weird questions or inconsistencies.

Right? It doesn't raise weird questions or inconsistencies.

Yeah, it just asks you to imagine a creation of an infinite stuff in a moment. I mean, that's not too much that Yeah. Currently, I don't know of anybody who has such clever ideas for ways to determine whether the universe is infinite or finite by just looking at stuff around us. So the only way we could do it is direct by looking at the universe, which of course we can't. So currently it feels impossible, but you know, we always have to leave a little bit of an open door there for some future physicists more clever than us comes up with a clever way to probe whether the universe is finite or infinite just by looking at clues around us.
