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.
