[0:01]Hi, I'm Tyler Fulton. I'm a nuclear engineer with a little over 10 years of experience in the commercial nuclear power industry, from engineering to operations to emergency response. I don't claim to know everything there is nuclear, but I can certainly share some knowledge. Please join me on the journey to a clean, sustainable nuclear energy future by liking, subscribing and commenting. Today we're going to be looking at a heavily requested video called Timelaps of the Future, a journey to the end of time by Melody Sheep. Believe the subject matter of this is Heat death of the universe. That's all due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that entropy or heat disorder will always increase. Another way of looking at that is it is impossible to um flow from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir, it has to flow energy has to flow from hot to cold. That is to say you leave your cup of coffee sitting on your desk, it's going to make the rest of the room a little bit hotter and it's going to get much colder over time. Now why is that the heat death of the universe? Well, there's not a whole lot of heat sources in this infinitely expanding universe. As this universe continues to age and expand outward, and these heat sources use up all of their fuel, it's just going to get colder and colder and colder until there's nothing left. It becomes a very cold, dead place. Let's take a look at the video.
[2:24]Doubling every 5 seconds, okay.
[2:29]This video is about 30 minutes, so, yeah, I don't feel like doing math in my head.
[2:40]2019. Anthropocene means era of mankind.
[3:20]Magnetic fields flip every few thousand years.
[3:37]On the asteroid impact, we're talking um probability is such that we likely would have taken a hit with a 30 meter asteroid at some point. 30 meters it'll is probably big enough to uh destroy a city.
[4:00]Hmm. It's always fascinating to me how one of the last remnants of human civilization um that, yeah, those footprints because there's it's not a dynamic atmosphere on the moon.
[4:50]It does take a while to go away.
[4:59]Stone monuments erode 3 million years? What do you think of that down in the comments, that seems like a long time for those things to stay around if you're talking about like Stonehenge or the Sphinx or something like that.
[5:21]Gamma ray bursts um 10 million years being within range of one of those super, maybe. Now, they have kind of a wide thing so they kind of kind of they kind of funnel out this big cone of death. So yeah, maybe maybe 10 million years, sure.
[5:58]I think in major we're talking like when they killed the dinosaurs.
[6:18]So it's said increase um luminosity at a billion years from now. I think we're only talking like 20% it doesn't take a whole lot much. It just gives us a sense of what a delicate balance we have here between, you know, our earth, moon, sun, system here, and that's what it takes to wipe out all life, well, all plant life and presumably the rest of it will fall in about a few more seconds.
[7:11]It'll stay white dwarf for a while.
[7:42]This is such a small fraction in terms of the age of the universe that we're just talking trillions and you know, this end of time it's going to go past like 10 to the 100 power years or something.
[8:17]Red dwarfs last the longest, not counting white dwarfs.
[8:57]White dwarfs last a while and so after having all this time talking about it at this scale of doubling speed every 5 seconds.
[9:39]He means these descendants could theoretically live around one of these though, it's enough, it's a source of heat, just got to be live a little bit closer to it and by a little, I mean a lot closer to it than we do to the sun.
[22:36]That's cool. Again, there'd be no light but it's cool.
[24:42]Someone in the comments let me know if they is like the shipping or a romance story about black holes. I I kind of think that's a thing after watching this scene. Quite romantic, actually, this is the whole black hole like.
[39:46]At that point you're at absolute zero, that's the third law of thermodynamics.
[40:18]Wow, that was really cool. Quite the journey through time, if you will. I like the idea of us being able to make artificial universe and we're probably in an artificial universe of maybe another sufficiently advanced civilization. What do you guys think about that down in the comments below? Are we in a are we in an artificial one? Or we like one of the first ones ever, maybe. Thank you very much for watching. I'll see you next time.
