Feynman Explain That the Universe Is Full of Stars but Why Is It Dark?

Why is the night sky dark? It sounds like a simple question, but the answer requires us to dismantle our understanding of the universe, time, and the Big Bang. In this video, we adopt the persona of the legendary physicist Richard Feynman to tackle Olbers' Paradox. If the universe is infinite and filled with infinite stars, the night sky should be as bright as the surface of the Sun. So, why aren't we burning up? We dive into: The geometry of an infinite forest vs. an infinite universe. Why "dust" doesn't solve the problem (Thermodynamics). The Finite Age of the Universe. The Expansion of Space and Redshift. The Cosmic Microwave Background (The invisible fire). Source A. On the "Onion Shell" Geometry (Inverse Square Law): The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. I, Chapter 13. Context: Feynman uses this exact geometric logic when explaining Newton’s Shell Theorem and gravity. He explains that the force (or in this case, light) from a spherical shell is constant regardless of distance because of the balance between distance and surface area. B. On Thermodynamics and Equilibrium (The "Dust" Argument): The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. I, Chapter 44 ("The Laws of Thermodynamics"). Context: Feynman explains that a system in equilibrium will eventually reach the same temperature. He famously discusses the "Ratchet and Pawl" to explain why you can't extract work from a system at a single temperature—proving that the dust would eventually radiate just as much energy as it absorbs. C. On the Expansion of the Universe: Feynman Lectures on Gravitation (Lecture 15-16). Context: Feynman discusses the Robertson-Walker metric and the expansion of the universe, explicitly referencing the redshift of light caused by galaxies moving away from us. D. On the Necessity of a "Cold Spot" (The Philosophy at the end): The Character of Physical Law. Context: Feynman explains that life relies on order turning into disorder (entropy). We need the sun (hot) and the empty sky (cold) to run the "engine" of life. If the sky were 5000 degrees (like the sun), entropy would be maximized, and no life could exist.
