Astrophysicist Answers Space Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED
Astrophysicist Hitoshi Murayama answers the internet’s burning questions about space! Are there more stars in space than grains of sand? Can the shapes of constellations change? Will we be able to observe outside of our own universe? What was in space before the universe was born? How do we know there was a Big Bang?…

I think he mixed WARP with WORMHOLE, he literary said its a shortcut as he described it with book. “Warp” is warping of space.

He is the specialist and is speaking in his native language. At most, the translator may have gotten that wrong.

Am I the only one that noticed that these questions are so intelligent and well thought out, versus an American question that is like, “BRAH why can’t anyone be an astronaut?” Lol I do enjoy non English speaking professionals, and would love to see more like this!
Lamorra fierro
April 11, 2023 at 7:48 pm
You know what’s crazy. The question “ how do we know there was a big bang” He says that If we can see 13.8 billion light years away we would see the Big Bang happening every direction. That means that if you were at the Big Bang and looked also 13.8 billion light years away. Wouldn’t that mean that we were there since the very beginning.

The second answer should be because they are far apart.. it’s odd that he mentions the “beginning” we have so many stars that their light reaches us but it’s still dark. It would be much more informative if he mentions the “inverse square law”

The Big Bang is the craziest theory to the birth of the universe. I just can’t fathom that that’s how all this was made

April 12, 2023 at 12:58 pm
No fam, the craziest theory of it is in the bible – that is far harder to believe than this.

…What they say the dark before the big bang, and what they say the big bang like a beginning of everything dude it match so PERFECT with what I believe, with what I read in my bible. This theory is just mankind trying to explain God in other way yeah.

I like how he didn’t make fun of something fictional like warp or parallel worlds and just straight up explaining if it’s possible or not, truly a man deserve some respects for doing so for others.

The universe seems to be the concept of the entity that contains everything in it; the bubble we’re all floating around inside of. Now, because I don’t think there’s proof of anything outside this universe, and because I think the definition of ‘the universe’ has become interchangeable with ‘all of existence’, I think that the universe could instead be the entity that contains everything. So if all of existence is within this unknown shape of unknown proportion and uncertain limit, the theory of universal expansion could be mistaken for that of a universe that stretches infinitely and semi-fourth dimensionally in the shape of a perfect (irrational, and thus infinite) sphere to contain anything that travels its edge. That would also explain the curvature of the fabric of space, as well as gravitational rules within the universe. It could be that the universe contains us like entities in a glass ornament filled with semi-solid resin to leave no room for freedom of (universally-relative) existential entities. So to escape the universe, you’d simply have to not exist. Easy, right?

I’m a bit confused about the human size:solar system and ???:galaxy question.
Did he get it switch around or it’s a problem with the translation/subtitle?
If our solar system is human sized, the galaxy (the Milky Way) would just be a couple of small globes big?
Isn’t the galaxy bigger than our solar system?

Arne Lilleseter
April 16, 2023 at 7:58 pm
I don’t know if something was lost in translation. What he is explaining at 14:05 is a wormhole. A warp-drive works by stretching and contracting space pulling a spaceship along as if it’s riding on a wave. Warp drive may be possible in theory but would require a lot of energy, maybe even more energy than exists in the universe.

When he was answering that question about explosions in space he spoke about the heat/energy used to hold the nucleus in an atom. So does that mean that the heat generated in a space explosion is like ‘nuclear’? Coz it sounds like a ‘splitting of the atom’ type thing. I only have high school level physics here so someone help me out please.
