The 3 Biggest Misconceptions about the Universe

How can the universe be flat, spherical, or hyperbolic? Do we expand with the universe? Why do we look like we're at the center of the universe? These are 3 common questions about cosmology people almost always misunderstand. 20% off the first 200: https://brilliant.org/ScienceAsylum/ ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Cosmology Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fApKpDGGDYk&list=PLOVL_fPox2K93PAXBN_bpPqV9G5DExAIy Is Math the Language of the Universe? https://youtu.be/inPcQeYWVT8 ________________________________ RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEOS MinutePhysics: https://youtu.be/th_9ZR2I0_w https://youtu.be/oCK5oGmRtxQ Veritasium: https://youtu.be/XBr4GkRnY04 PBS Space Time: https://youtu.be/AwwIFcdUFrE ________________________________ HUGE THANK YOU TO THESE PATRONS ** Morgan Williams, Rick Finn, Nikko Lai, Daniel Bahr, Andrew Goodrich, Nicholas Ursa, Evgeny Ivanov, Preston From ** ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ScienceAsylum Advanced Theoretical Physics (eBook): https://gumroad.com/l/ubSc Merchandise: http://shop.spreadshirt.com/scienceasylum/ ________________________________ OTHER SOURCES https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_(spacecraft)#2015_data_release ________________________________ LINKS TO COMMENTS Expanding Human Body - Pierre Schambacher: https://twitter.com/PierreSchambac/status/930531611279441920 Center of Universe - : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE_wbOw39Mk&lc=UgzSVN__pz8kUv47qHd4AaABAg Flat Universe - yash shah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B4tj9c0vG8&lc=UgwjGcaV2ctSjfcTmoV4AaABAg Answering Comments - thedeemon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Ac8zKTD-E&lc=UgwYx1_WnUci-pVkSqh4AaABAg

TBH I've gotten almost completely bored with science and math youtubers, since they just continue to recycle the same material, and it doesn't seem to progress in any manner as the months roll on. In many cases they're even flat out wrong. BUT this channel is ALWAYS FRESH with unique perspectives and freakishly accurate information. Even the stuff I "already know" I am further refining thanks to this channel! Thanks buddy, keep going, and never change who you are and what you are doing!!!!

@prabhakargautam657

I hv no words to describe how much I love this channel. Almost 50% of whatever I learnt from YouTube, I learnt from this channel. There r several channels I love like veritassium, vsauce, minute physics pbs spacetime, fermilab any many more but this channel is unique. I don't know how to thank you sir Nick. I wish I had a teacher like u in my clg. Please keep making such videos. It helps noobes like me to learn a lot.

@finitewehosh6542

Why couldn't I have found this channel sooner?

@sheikhzeeshan2156

Saw tons of video but ur xplanation of flat universe was bang on, could understand this for the first time....hats off to uh

@davidb7328

Thanks for another great video. I wish I had science teachers like you when I was younger.

@davidinmossy

This guy has had this channel for a number of years has he not ? How does he only have that little subs ? I know his presentation is a bit wacky and kid friendly but the information is spot on ! This guy deserves a lot more subs !

@GiuseppeDiDomenico8

I'm so happy to see your channel being supported:) congrats man

@itsmybuddha.nature

@philipberthiaume2314

I have always wondered about the expansion effect on matter. Thank you for this excellent video.

@x1area51ii7

@MrMineHeads.

Love your explanations. Proud to be supporting you on patreon.

@walterw8310

Another great video! When I get a notification, I can't wait to get off from work just so I can go home and watch a 6 minute science video on my desktop. Like a kid watching cartoons...I'm almost 40. By far my favorite channel! The expansion of the universe and the behavior light within it, is scary weird.

@natethatsnasty

i like the way you illustrate these ideas. im a fan. ill watch every video u put out

@Madmetroid99

Funny thing is, I'm glad that you're being sponsored. I really hope this channel gets bigger you deserve it :)

@neurotransmissions

Awesome video! So easy to understand and your energy is contagious! What always gets me though is that the universe has no edge. How is that possible?

@vitornunes3256

@JG_Fit
