Ask Yourself, Is The Universe Just Another Thing In The Universe? | Feynman Explained
On Why Physics Works, Explained, we take a deceptively simple question—“Is the universe just another object inside a bigger universe?”—and unpack it with clear, step‑by‑step reasoning: definitions first, then thought experiments, then what modern physics actually says about space, spacetime curvature, expansion, horizons, and “outside.”

This episode explores why our everyday “container” intuition (things inside boxes) can mislead us in cosmology, and how ideas from Einstein’s relativity and curved geometry change what the word “universe” even means.

⚠️ disclaimer:
This video is a style-inspired educational tribute. It is not an archival lecture, narration, or official work by Richard Feynman, and it is not affiliated with his estate or any institution. The goal is learning and conceptual clarity, not impersonation. Any references to “Feynman explained” indicate the teaching approach (clear, curious, logically precise), not authorship.
