“What Existed Before Everything?” | Feynman Explain

Описание: Before space, before time, before matter—was there truly nothing? Or is “nothing” itself a misunderstanding?

In this video, Imagine with Feynman explores one of the deepest questions ever asked by science and philosophy: Why does anything exist at all? Drawing inspiration from Richard Feynman’s way of thinking, we follow how modern physics—using only equations and logic—confronts the idea of a beginning.

Long before the Big Bang became mainstream, physicists were already wrestling with strange conclusions forced upon them by mathematics: expanding space, collapsing stars, time slowing to a stop, and universes that might never truly begin—or end. Feynman showed that when you follow the equations honestly, they lead to answers far stranger than intuition allows.

This video stays faithful to mid-20th-century physics, using the ideas available in the 1960s to show how scientists reasoned about creation, cosmic expansion, and whether “before” even makes sense when time itself is born with the universe.

No speculation. No mysticism.
Just equations, logic, and the unsettling realization that nothing may not mean what we think it means.
