- So ever since I was a kid, I've always wondered
how everything in the universe has come to be
and not only that, but what else is out there.
Mostly because I watched a lot of Bill Nye and Elf.
Anyways, of course there's the Big Bang Theory
that everybody's heard about,
but what you might not know is there's actually several
other scientific theories that try to explain
existence in ways that might just blow your mind.
So of course I gathered the most interesting ones to share
with you guys.
So here they are, the ten craziest scientific theories
about existence.
Number one is the simulation hypothesis.
This theory basically says that nothing is real
and everything is part of a computer simulation,
kind of like the matrix.
Now, before you call that crazy,
consider that computers can already create
highly complicated simulations and with the pace
of advancement of technology,
it's likely that we'll one day be able to create
a simulation that's just as complicated as our own reality,
which also means that that simulation could create their
own simulation and so forth and so forth,
literally to the infinite.
Damn, this video's getting heavy already.
I'm going to have to try to dumb myself down,
watch some Jersey Shore or something.
Number two is the Ekpyrotic Universe Theory.
Unlike the Big Bang Theory that says that our universe
expanded from a singularity,
this theory says that our universe is one of two universes
that continually collide into each other in cycles,
expanding more and more with each collision.
That means that our universe,
the thing that holds everything that exists,
there's another one of those
and if that's true, it's believed that the other universe
is directly beside us in another dimension.
Damn, that almost makes me want to reach out and touch it.
Number three is the Doppelganger Theory.
This theory is pretty simple.
It basically says that there's a finite number of
combinations for all the particles in the universe
and in a universe as infinitely large as ours,
it's inevitable that all the particles that make up you
will eventually arrange in the same way again,
creating another you.
That's kind of a creepy concept to think that there's
somebody out there that looks identical to you.
- Hey Matt, we're out of milk.
- Oh okay, thanks Eugene.
Yeah anyways, weird.
Number four is the Bullet-Time Theory.
It suggests that the universe is not expanding at
a rapid rate, but only that that is our perception
due to the fact that time and everything around us
is slowing down due to an anti-gravitational force,
called dart energy but don't worry.
It's likely that we'll be long gone before that happens
or at least I hope so because you know there's going to be
at least one person that gets frozen in time
in an unflattering position.
Number five is the Many- Worlds Theory.
The simplest explanation for this is that
for every decision that we make, a new universe is born.
For example, if you had coffee this morning,
there's a separate universe where you did not have coffee.
Furthermore, if you did have coffee and you put milk in it,
there's a separate universe where you did not
put milk in it, etcetera, etcetera.
This essentially means that there's an infinite amount
of universes accounting for every single person's decision,
which logically means that there must be a dark timeline
somewhere where I am pure evil.
- So logically this means that there must exist a good
timeline where I am pure good.
This is disturbing.
- Number six is the Black Hole Theory.
This theory says that we all may be living in a black hole
right now.
Just follow me.
Everybody knows that nothing can escape getting sucked
into a black hole, but what nobody knows is what happens
to that matter.
It could be destroyed, or it may be compressed
and re-expanded, similar to the Big Bang Theory,
which may have created out universe.
Speaking of compressed matter coming out,
you know what, I was going to make a poop joke
but I'm going to try to keep this one high brow.
Number seven is the Heat Death Theory.
Also known as the big chill or the big freeze.
This theory says that since the universe is so big,
that eventually all energy will be evenly distributed
throughout the cosmos, leaving no room for new heat
to burst into existence, ultimately leading to
the death of everything.
Scientists postulate that the only creatures
that will survive this are polar bears, walruses,
and Canadians.
Number eight is the Computer Universe Theory.
This theory suggests that the entire universe
is a computer, specifically a quantum computer,
which uses atoms and electrons to work,
instead of microchips, to compute data.
In fact, a working quantum computer has been created
on earth, which gave rise to this theory.
Hey I'm cool with that as long as the universe
doesn't run on Windows.
I mean, that could create all kinds of weird glitches.
(beep)
Number nine is the Hologram Universe Theory.
This theory says that everything in the universe is nothing
more than a hologram, created by the universe itself.
It's an extremely complex theory,
but it basically says that in the same way that a hologram
is created by projecting a three dimensional image
on a two dimensional surface,
that our universe works in the same way,
only that our reality is one layer
of a three layer universe.
I think this one just broke my brain.
And number ten, the Theory of Everything.
This theory states that there's an ultimate master theory
that fully explains and links together the all encompassing
framework of the universe.
Unfortunately, it hasn't been discovered yet.
Personally, I think this is one of the more
out there theories because I don't think mankind could
ever find a master key explanation for all the secrets
of the universe.
Although it would be nice to find out the secret of how to
put down Candy Crush.
I hate that game.
I love that game.
Anyways that's all for this time guys.
I hope you enjoyed this and if you want to add me
to Facebook and Twitter, the links to those will be
on the screen and in the description along with
all my other social networking sites
and other than that, I'll see you guys next Saturday
with a brand new video.
Peace.
(electronic music)
Hey guys.
Thanks for watching my new video.
If you enjoyed it, please remember to click the subscribe
button to subscribe to my channel.
I release a new video every Saturday
and while you're at it,
click the like button and share this on Facebook
or whatever social networking site you like.
For me, personally, I'm going to go watch some
Jerry Springer or some stupid T.V. because my brain
actually hurts right now and I apologize if I did the
same thing to you so maybe just go watch some
trash T.V.
That might help.
Bye.
