The Edge of the Universe Isn’t Where You Think

Описание: The Edge of the Universe Isn’t Where You Think

Where is the edge of the universe? You probably think it's somewhere "out there"—maybe 46 billion light-years away. But the truth is far stranger: the universe has no spatial edge, yet it has multiple edges that are very real, constantly moving, and different for every observer.

In this video, we explore the most mind-bending boundaries in cosmology using insights from Richard Feynman. The cosmic horizon—the edge of the observable universe—isn't a physical barrier but a consequence of light speed and cosmic expansion. Your personal light cone defines everything you could ever know. The event horizon marks regions whose future you'll never see, even if you wait forever. And because the universe's expansion is accelerating, these edges are closing in. Galaxies we see today will eventually disappear beyond the horizon, and future civilizations may have no way to discover the Big Bang ever happened.

We dive into comoving vs proper distance, why the observable universe is 46 billion light-years in radius despite being only 13.8 billion years old, how dark energy is erasing cosmic history, and why the edges of spacetime are actually what make the universe comprehensible. From light cones to quantum uncertainty to the limits of predictability, this is about the boundaries of knowledge itself.
