AI Thread Summary
Brian Austin Green discusses a concept he refers to as "fuel" related to a quantum field that supposedly drives an outward rush of space. This idea is likely referencing either the inflationary period or dark energy, although it is unclear how these relate to a quantum field. The discussion critiques the validity of pop-science presentations, suggesting they prioritize entertainment over education. The portrayal of the Big Bang as an explosion in space is deemed inaccurate and misleading. Overall, the consensus is to rely on textbooks for a proper understanding of cosmology rather than pop-science interpretations.

Starting at about 15:15 in the video, he talks about a "fuel", related to a quantum field, that provides outward rush of space, and its virtually possible to use up. What is he talking about, anyone know? Sounds a little funny to me!

Thanks.

This is a pop-sci presentation that I would not take seriously. The "fuel" he seems to be talking about is either whatever it was (we don't know) that fueled the inflationary period, or dark energy although I'm not aware that either one is a "quantum field", or what he has in mind for that in this case. In any case, I would suggest you learn cosmology from testbooks, not pop-sci presentations.

In the very brief amount of it I watched, he illustrated the big bang as an explosion in space which is just silly. He knows better, but pop-sci presentation are not education, they are entertainment.
 
Pop science videos are not valid references for PF discussion.

Thread 'Illuminating Black Hole Shadows with Dark Matter Annihilation'

Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow...

Thread 'Questions about quantum cosmology'

what is the current status of the field for quantum cosmology, are there any observations that support any theory of quantum cosmology? is it just cosmology during the Planck era or does it extend past the Planck era. what are the leading candidates into research into quantum cosmology and which physics departments research it? how much respect does loop quantum cosmology has compared to string cosmology with actual cosmologists?
