Imagine what you have found out that a scientist 100 years ago, looking into a rudimentary telescope, would never dream of, and would never get to know/
But even if we get to space, we still won't be able to discover every fact, because there's always more to explore. Which is itself frustrating. And even if we became so advanced that we'd know about every scientific fact about every dimension and reality, then we'd be frustrated by the fact that there's nothing left to explore. Which is more frustrating than anything. The human mind is doomed to eternally search for something more and sulk with boredom when there's nothing left. That's why it's crucial to appreciate the things which are familiar to you, because ultimately everything becomes familiar.

You know, I watch a lot of YT channels on astrophysics and cosmology but, you really have the market cornered on these in depth breakdowns of these massive structures and voids at scale. And your graphics are not just random pretty space art. They actually relate to what you are talking about. Good job sir.
I enjoyed this so much. The distances and scales are dizzying. Does anyone else feel an awestruck sensation just contemplating the distances and scales ? Brilliant work as ever.
The horrifying truth is the so-called Great Attractor is a celestial monster of inconceivable mass that eats entire solar systems for breakfast. It's so big that its food literally comes to it. Fortunately, the cosmic time frames involved mean we have somewhat more immediate issues to concern ourselves with, like why I always end up with one odd sock after the weekly laundry wash.
This was my first video I've seen from you awhile back. I still come back to this every once in a while. Top 10 TH-cam videos I've seen in my life as a chronic youtuber. Got your mug too :)
The best I've seen on both Laniakea and the Great Attractor, though I'm always hopeful of something 'spooky'. But those diagrams of Laniakea and the other superclusters are some of the most beautiful and inspiring works I've ever seen.

You do the best and highest quality space videos on TH-cam right now, easily. So informative and so well made. Pleas keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
I gotta hand it to this channel, it walks that fine line between algorithm click bait and quality content really well. Just mainstream enough for non science literate normies to find it, just niche enough to grow a community of its own.
Thank you! I will put that down to the fact that I myself started as a “non science literate normie”, so I’ve always had that kind of audience in mind!
Yeah really nothing clickbaity about this channel. All of the titles are literally just titles of the topic of the video, nothing less, nothing more. It's just proper titling lol
The absolute randomness of the actual existence of humans, that is what is amazing!It shows that if you give enough time and space anything has a possibility of happening... mind blown!
I remember listening about the great attractor on a bed radio half asleep as a teenager, it’s intrigued me ever since. It’s amazing that we can even conceive these ideas
If no-one has already mentioned it, kudos on your music selection throughout this brilliantly informative video. There's something about that kind of jazz which fits the subject so perfectly - like a sock to a foot - subtle & perhaps ignored by our conscious mind as we concentrate upon the mysteries of Supercluster dynamics & the ineffable qualities of Gravity itself...
It's reassuring in a way, knowing that the universes rate of expansion won't send *everything* too far away from us to observe. It's like a group of rafts on the ocean, or a campfire in an impossibly large forest.
I just realised that it would have been possible to examine the great attractor in the age of dinosaurs, since back then Earth was on the other side of the galaxy.
The age of dinosaur was triassic (120 million years ago) to late Jurassic (60 million years ago).. Yes they have already lived in the earth more than 50 million years.. Im a geologist btw
@@69percentarabica26 You're obviously not a geologist, because if you were, you'd know the Triassic started ~250 million years ago and ended 201 million years ago, the Jurassic running from then until 145 million years ago. The Cretaceous covers the last 80 million years, ending ~66 million years ago with the K-Pg extinction.
Didn't thought that I'll stay glued to this half an hour video. The explanation and elaboration was wonderful. Thanks for sharing. God bless. And subscribed.
This is a really good explanation for a particular “object”. It feels like we’re focusing on a particular and relevant subject, like how good lore videos are told on a piece of fiction is told. Even heavily acknowledging what we don’t know. Something similar to “soft worldbuilding lore”.
One of THE best and most illuminating videos I have ever seen -- on TH-cam or anywhere else. Beautifully visualised, to an excellent, clear and well-spoken script. Congratulations to all concerned! (When something is so PERFECT, I tend to notice tiny, unimportant things; so ... just one little quibble. In the Hawaiian language, 'Laniakea' should be pronounced 'Lannia-Kay-ah' -- see the pronunciation of the extinct volcano upon which all those wonderful telescopes are built ... Mauna Kea ['Mone-a Kay-ah"). I must learn the Phonetic Alphabet some time!
@1:09 - "We don't feel these movements. Gravity keeps us bolted down" I don't know if I agree with that. Seems like we feel nothing despite gravity. The change in space over time is freefall. But it is earths gravity that causes our feeling of constant acceleration. I suggest that it is not gravity that causes us not to feel the effects of motion. We feel nothing, because we are not resisting it in any way. We feel the earth because we are constantly resisting falling straight into it. For me, the feeling of gravity is the resistance against its natural curved plan for me. If I don't resist, it doesn't hurt.
Thank you. In my experience in pop science (non-academic sources, chains of youtube videos, reddit threads) it isn't well phrased that the nature of The Great Attractor is much more well understood than it was decades ago and is still presented as an ongoing mystery where we have no idea what it could very well be and is nothing like we've ever seen. It may seem more viscerally interesting at first to believe that whatever lies beyond the zone of avoidance also lies beyond our established understanding of the universe, but you (and your collaborators and sources together) have successfully written and produced a journey where it is just as viscerally rewarding to understand what, why, and especially how we come to shine a light on previously unknown knowledge. That's great science ambassadorship.

There is nothing that can protect you from gravity. It is not shieldable like the electromagnetic force for example. Only with Dark Energy maybe. But we don't know anything about that yet.
I don’t think that’s true. Personally, radiation is the closest to magic. I have been having the idea that radiation is correlated with the passage of time. Since we created a time crystal by blasting metal with an insane amount of radiation, I’ve been pondering if the fact that there is an entire background of radiation in our universe and how maybe that can be associated with the passage of time somehow. What if the universe is just a massive time crystal and will eventually cycle back to the beginning and repeat itself all over again?
@@TheSCPStudio it is always "now". your ideas about light are correlative with optics. looking through universe works the same way through a phenomena called " cosmic replay ", the farther you look at an image through space the farther back in time you see in the most literal sense
How much of understanding of research over decades has gone into making this presentation. What would we lesser mortals do without your understanding of what has transpired. Thank you for the updates but I must confess one hearing does not make for understanding. But it's there and am so grateful to Sea.
There is an interesting theory about negative mass that correlates weirdly with what we are observing. Basically negative mass exist (theorized but unproven) and the matter of the universe is repelled by it. Forming those honeycomb type structures made of galaxy.
It blows my mind how unimaginably vast the universe is sometimes. Space exploration and development is one of the few things makes me excited for the future.
Anyone else get an immense feeling of fomo knowing we'll never get to hang out in a supercluster for the astronomical tiny timeframe that they will exist?

The quality of your work never fails! You are truly amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work and time put into this channel.
I´ve seen A LOT of vids on YT dealing with universe. I love astronomy but only now have discovered this marvelous channel. Absolutely incredible! This deserves millons of views!
This video finally gave me the concept of how enormous space really is. The number of light years from place-to-place doesn't really do it since I have no way to compare that to any distance I do understand, but this topic, with it's carefully graduated widening of view led me to see space in a new way with it's interconnectivity over such immense distances. Also, the clips of the strands involved in a supercluster and then multiple superclusters made me realize just how miniscule Earth and our solar system is. Thank you for allowing space to expand inside my brain.
Finally!!! Someone has gotten around to addressing the apparent discrepancy between constantly telling us that all galaxies are drifting away from each other, yet some areas are coming closer together. Thank you.

Yeah I love how professional everything is. No lame jokes, cartoons, etc. That's good some I'm sure but I much prefer this.
Amen. I agree 100%.
You gotta love these names. "The Zone of Avoidance!" Like a 16th century naval map showing where sea monsters swallows ships.

Your description of scale is excellent,
your transitions are timely, and
you lead the audience through progressively more complex data, thank you for your scholarly work!

Yes indeed
Let any fish who meets my gaze learn the true meaning of fear, for I am the harbinger of death, the bane of creatures subaqueous. My rod is true and unwavering as I cast it into the aquatic abyss. A man, scorned by this uncaring earth finds solace in the sea.

You know, I watch a lot of YT channels on astrophysics and cosmology but, you really have the market cornered on these in depth breakdowns of these massive structures and voids at scale.

I enjoyed this so much. The distances and scales are dizzying. Does anyone else feel an awestruck sensation just contemplating the distances and scales ?
Brilliant work as ever.
Whenever I'm sad, I often listen to your videos. It both helps me gain more knowledge and helps me sleep easier in this stressful life
The horrifying truth is the so-called Great Attractor is a celestial monster of inconceivable mass that eats entire solar systems for breakfast. It's so big that its food literally comes to it. Fortunately, the cosmic time frames involved mean we have somewhat more immediate issues to concern ourselves with, like why I always end up with one odd sock after the weekly laundry wash.
I’d argue that it’s the Great Attractor that keeps stealing the world’s socks.
@@78deathface I think this great big monster has a foot fetish

It's cool how huge sizes and timescales start to become small as you learn more about the universe.

This was my first video I've seen from you awhile back. I still come back to this every once in a while. Top 10 TH-cam videos I've seen in my life as a chronic youtuber. Got your mug too :)
The best I've seen on both Laniakea and the Great Attractor, though I'm always hopeful of something 'spooky'. But those diagrams of Laniakea and the other superclusters are some of the most beautiful and inspiring works I've ever seen. As the narrator said, that we live in an age when such is visible...hats off to the people who make this available to any who care to see.
It's like if ants understood human civilization. We understand Laniakea
The fact that one of the greatest mysteries is blocked by our entire galaxy
İts mystery cuz its blocked if we could see what is happening there it wouldn't be mystery
Computer simulation
You have half a thought there. Do you have a verb to tack onto that?
@@serdarcam99 you can see a black hole ..but it's still a mystery..
@@Curse_Plays nope u can't see a black hole u can see if matter of disk around it light can show so much information about whats happening but no light deflected from black hole this is why its a mystery
I know you likely can't read even 1% of these comments but I am truly blown away and impressed at what you do here. Phenomenal work my guy
i think he can read 37 comments.
For me, one of the best yet. I am thankful for being able to understand the explanation in a very simple way.
SEA always giving me feelings of existential dread while revealing the extraordinary beauty of the universe
I've probably fell asleep to every video SEA does about the universe. The videos are great and the way he explains it so it's not overly complicated. Keep it up bro your videos are top quality material. Dont stop!!
When he drops a new video ill leave it there until night, and right before I go to bed ill watch his video to relax and prepare for sleep, a few times I have fallen asleep.
I went on a binge of his channel awhile ago and would watch 1 video before bed, but eventually ran out of videos.
Only on TH-cam is "I fell asleep to your content" a compliment 😂
@@smileyp4535 I don't think it is a complement. If I spent weeks working on a video only for someone to say they fell asleep to it, that would seem a bit insulting.
@@princeprocrastinate6485 that's my point haha, but people use these *specifically to* fall asleep to and the creator still gets the view just the same. Not to mention what I was saying was that the original comment was *meant* to be a complement which is why it was funny
Lol this is also my nightly routine. Pondering cosmic queries, made possible by sea’s great narration and editing.
Your videos are all great content, with careful attention to detail, and your narration style works really well!
Thank you!
You do the best and highest quality space videos on TH-cam right now, easily. So informative and so well made. Pleas keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
I gotta hand it to this channel, it walks that fine line between algorithm click bait and quality content really well. Just mainstream enough for non science literate normies to find it, just niche enough to grow a community of its own.
Thank you! I will put that down to the fact that I myself started as a “non science literate normie”, so I’ve always had that kind of audience in mind!
@@sea_space and we science illiterate normies are SO very grateful for all your hard work, thank you 🙂💋
What's click-baity about this channel?
There's nothing click bait about these titles and thumbnails
Yeah really nothing clickbaity about this channel. All of the titles are literally just titles of the topic of the video, nothing less, nothing more. It's just proper titling lol
The absolute randomness of the actual existence of humans, that is what is amazing!It shows that if you give enough time and space anything has a possibility of happening... mind blown!
What had to happen to get us here..... it’s staggering to think about.
not exactly random, the universe is to no surprise very simple in terms of the flow of information IE: the thermodynamic arrow of time
Nothing, not even humans are a chance occurrence, God does not play dice with the universe
Taradino Cassatt - wishful thinking..
@@caner78bob we exist only because the dinosaurs went extinct...
also on a side note you should take a look at the thermodynamic arrow
I remember listening about the great attractor on a bed radio half asleep as a teenager, it’s intrigued me ever since.
It’s amazing that we can even conceive these ideas
If no-one has already mentioned it, kudos on your music selection throughout this brilliantly informative video. There's something about that kind of jazz which fits the subject so perfectly - like a sock to a foot - subtle & perhaps ignored by our conscious mind as we concentrate upon the mysteries of Supercluster dynamics & the ineffable qualities of Gravity itself...
It's reassuring in a way, knowing that the universes rate of expansion won't send *everything* too far away from us to observe. It's like a group of rafts on the ocean, or a campfire in an impossibly large forest.
Depends on how fast the expansion gets. Could still get the big rip.
I just realised that it would have been possible to examine the great attractor in the age of dinosaurs, since back then Earth was on the other side of the galaxy.
Yes as earth was on the other side of the galaxy then.
The age of dinosaur was triassic (120 million years ago) to late Jurassic (60 million years ago).. Yes they have already lived in the earth more than 50 million years.. Im a geologist btw
@@69percentarabica26 You're obviously not a geologist, because if you were, you'd know the Triassic started ~250 million years ago and ended 201 million years ago, the Jurassic running from then until 145 million years ago. The Cretaceous covers the last 80 million years, ending ~66 million years ago with the K-Pg extinction.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 ouch

Didn't thought that I'll stay glued to this half an hour video. The explanation and elaboration was wonderful. Thanks for sharing. God bless. And subscribed.
This is a really good explanation for a particular “object”. It feels like we’re focusing on a particular and relevant subject, like how good lore videos are told on a piece of fiction is told. Even heavily acknowledging what we don’t know. Something similar to “soft worldbuilding lore”.
SEA describes incredibly complex topics in an easy to understand manner. Bravo!
Excellent presentation, written and delivered with such clarity that even I could understand it. This is both intriguing and creepy!
well said!
One of THE best and most illuminating videos I have ever seen -- on TH-cam or anywhere else.
Beautifully visualised, to an excellent, clear and well-spoken script.
Congratulations to all concerned!
(When something is so PERFECT, I tend to notice tiny, unimportant things; so ... just one little quibble. In the Hawaiian language, 'Laniakea' should be pronounced 'Lannia-Kay-ah' -- see the pronunciation of the extinct volcano upon which all those wonderful telescopes are built ... Mauna Kea ['Mone-a Kay-ah"). I must learn the Phonetic Alphabet some time!
@1:09 - "We don't feel these movements. Gravity keeps us bolted down" I don't know if I agree with that. Seems like we feel nothing despite gravity. The change in space over time is freefall. But it is earths gravity that causes our feeling of constant acceleration.
I suggest that it is not gravity that causes us not to feel the effects of motion. We feel nothing, because we are not resisting it in any way. We feel the earth because we are constantly resisting falling straight into it. For me, the feeling of gravity is the resistance against its natural curved plan for me. If I don't resist, it doesn't hurt.
Thank you. In my experience in pop science (non-academic sources, chains of youtube videos, reddit threads) it isn't well phrased that the nature of The Great Attractor is much more well understood than it was decades ago and is still presented as an ongoing mystery where we have no idea what it could very well be and is nothing like we've ever seen. It may seem more viscerally interesting at first to believe that whatever lies beyond the zone of avoidance also lies beyond our established understanding of the universe, but you (and your collaborators and sources together) have successfully written and produced a journey where it is just as viscerally rewarding to understand what, why, and especially how we come to shine a light on previously unknown knowledge. That's great science ambassadorship.
Heartily endorsed.
I enjoyed how he stayed with observations and did not add wild speculations that were unnecessary and lately in the last 30 years or so, illogical speculations.
This is my favorite space video
Same
Astrophobia: A fear of space is also one of my favorite videos
Sorry. I was mistaken with titles:
“Why is space so terrifying?”
Is the correct one. Done about 8 months ago
Just an astounding video. So good. The 3D graphs of the flows across the superclusters were just beautiful.
Props to the camera men who risked their lives to travel such distances!
Also amazing how steady those shots are!

@Globglogabgolab 2.0 it was to finish his calc to invent the mobile particle beam. Which is how they teleport.
What I'm saying is, they don't teleport. They commit future seppuku, and get cloned elsewhere, sometimes just because they can. The clone walks out, entirely sure of what they were just doing, but I wouldn't get in that effing thing...
@@williamhall6651 I can imagine it being a form of capital punishment an authoritarian regime might use but they don’t want to lose the particular skill set. A sort of warning like “I can always get someone else just like you”
Moving relative to *what*, however? That's the crucial point. All motion is relative.
This is by far one of the greatest channels on TH-cam. Thank you man.
beautifully and clearly explained. Really puts things in perspective. Thanks from New Zealand !
When I was younger I liked to think that the attractor was some incomprehensible Lovecraftian monstrosity that lurked outside the observable universe.

The last two minutes of this masterpiece, with that jazz, have moved me. Thank you for this.
I am so thankful for this information, I feel so much more comfortable in the stupendously big universe now I know what kind of structures there are 'relatively close' to us and further away, and how it is all connected. THANKS!
I just discovered your channel, via this video, this morning - clearly The Attractor attracted Great me. NEVER have I paused a video as much as this just to think. Only at 22.47 and paused to thank too. You.
The Virgo supercluster has always been fascinating to me. How galaxies so far apart still hold on to each other in the emptiness of intergalactic space. Your channel has been amazing and I'm inspired to create videos again sometime. Just subscribed.

Gravity on a cosmic scale is the closest thing to magic.
There is nothing that can protect you from gravity. It is not shieldable like the electromagnetic force for example. Only with Dark Energy maybe. But we don't know anything about that yet.
@@johannageisel5390 Oh I guess planes don’t exist.
I don’t think that’s true. Personally, radiation is the closest to magic. I have been having the idea that radiation is correlated with the passage of time. Since we created a time crystal by blasting metal with an insane amount of radiation, I’ve been pondering if the fact that there is an entire background of radiation in our universe and how maybe that can be associated with the passage of time somehow. What if the universe is just a massive time crystal and will eventually cycle back to the beginning and repeat itself all over again?
@@TheSCPStudio You might want learn more about gravity: flight works because of it, and does not avoid it.
@@TheSCPStudio it is always "now". your ideas about light are correlative with optics. looking through universe works the same way through a phenomena called " cosmic replay ", the farther you look at an image through space the farther back in time you see in the most literal sense
How much of understanding of research over decades has gone into making this presentation. What would we lesser mortals do without your understanding of what has transpired. Thank you for the updates but I must confess one hearing does not make for understanding. But it's there and am so grateful to Sea.
There is an interesting theory about negative mass that correlates weirdly with what we are observing.
Basically negative mass exist (theorized but unproven) and the matter of the universe is repelled by it. Forming those honeycomb type structures made of galaxy.
I absolutely love how humbling these types of videos can make people it all just blows my mind
It blows my mind how unimaginably vast the universe is sometimes. Space exploration and development is one of the few things makes me excited for the future.
@TheLuftwaffle - it is the ONLY thing that makes me excited for the future 😆😄
Or feel insignificance due to its size

Nervous humor I guess, to cover having to wrap my brain around the distances, masses, and just the size of things in the Universe. I love astronomy and astrophysics but sometimes it's so staggering that I need to drop into humor mode.

SEA Your channel is incredible! I love these videos so much. I have watched them all and fall asleep to a playlist with your videos every day
This video finally gave me the concept of how enormous space really is. The number of light years from place-to-place doesn't really do it since I have no way to compare that to any distance I do understand, but this topic, with it's carefully graduated widening of view led me to see space in a new way with it's interconnectivity over such immense distances. Also, the clips of the strands involved in a supercluster and then multiple superclusters made me realize just how miniscule Earth and our solar system is. Thank you for allowing space to expand inside my brain.
