Comments by "gwho" (@gwho) on "Misconceptions About the Universe" video.

  1. This is just a low quality video with mealymouthed amateur statements whose implications, and true meaning haven't been thought out thoroughly enough. It's like listening to people who say objects will disappear if they travel beyond the speed of light because the equation makes that mathematically impossible. ^ The problem with that is it's a mathematical theory or a model describing observed empirical reality. If the equation has exceptions, then the meaning thereof isn't  clear, let alone "disappear". I'm still open to whatever "it happened everywhere" may mean, but I wouldn't bet much on it getting explained well.

  2. I don't see why that's any reason to devote time to it. non-sequitur. If I don't devote time and energy to it, that implies that somehow my points are invalid, or something? Like I said, I'm a fan of the guy, I think he did a great job overall, and he's doing a lot of good. I was attesting to a specific aspect of wording in detail because I was asked to.

  3. Is what he's saying here scientifically kosher? It seems to my amateur understanding, that relativistic effects weren't being taken into account. it seemed very classical, velocity addition-ish. Other explanations just don't seem very... consistent or well thought out as other explanations. I wouldn't put too much stock in this video regarding the universe.
