Kurzgesagt consistently lures me in with an interesting title, perfectly animates a scientific phenomenon, gives me an existential crisis, and then says “lmao jk, it’s probably fine.”
Yes, that's how we do. We feel a lot of "Weltschmerz" and dive into a long depressing discussions as to why nothing makes sense, everything is meaningless and the only constants in life are change and entropy ... and then we laugh and drink beer in leather shorts, clapping our legs while dancing towards the everlasting dawn @@namasayagiri
Let go of excess, Let go of weight, Let go of speed, to understand myself. It sure took a long time. Trace on. Essence, unravel. Perfected ideals, converge, forging techniques, reaching critical. Upon one's arrival, the use of years of devoted studies, Upon one's arrival, the result of countless training.... forging endlessly to create tombs of swords. Cutting through bonds, through destiny, through fate... This is my unparalleled Tsumukani Muramasa. Severing karma by one's origin. This is the Yaegaki made by sword of senjii. In short... Your karma is exonerated! Take this as your gift to hell! i'll finish the job with this one swing. Take a good look at this. The pulse of my sword is right here! Time to set your spirit free. FOr this is my Tsumukani Muramasa.
Infinity isn't a number. It isn't a really big number either. It's...well it's infinite. It's a concept. It's endless, without bound or limit. It transcends numbers entirely. To say it's a big number completely misrepresents the scale of infinity. It's quite literally infinitely larger than that.
Two physicists were discussing reality. One said that they were dreaming, the other said he knew they weren't and he could prove it. He proceeded to formulate an airtight proof showing conclusively that the two were definitely not living in a dream. It was such a monumental break through for math and physics that the physicist was awarded the Nobel prize. And then he woke up.
0:45 currently taking a break from writing my college essay supplementals and have been at a standby on what to write for a specific one. This gave me the best essay idea THANK YOU Kurzgesagt😭
Do not listen to these evil confusing lies. satan is the father of lies. Turn to our Merciful and All-Forgiving Lord (and to whomever accepts Him, Saviour) Jesus Christ, before it’s too late! 🙏🏻✝️❤️🙌🏻🕊
Riight, and those answers even undermine former answers, and eventually are undermined by future answers... Its all just a game. A game that religions speak about. And from what I can sense, science is also slowly proceeding to the realization, that there is no such think as definitive knowledge. Or more like there is, but at the same time there is not. Everything is just omnipotent chaos. And thats the most funny, and the most dreadful realisatiom there is. xdd Philosophy is fun.
exactly, our knowledge is just like the universe. The more it expands, the more questions (space) arise and the longer it goes on even questions form a lot faster (just like the expansion of the universe)
I always go through this Rollercoaster of hating the implications of an infinite universe, and feeling incredibly, indeed infinitely, small and insignificant, then feeling immense relief when I realise that that takes a lot of pressure off and I can just carry on enjoying my life without worrying about the potential cosmic implications
I like going in the opposite direction. This infinity, this impossibility, this hard to imagine scenario of being an infinitesimal small dot of time and space is all we have of our lives. That said, during that small window, we can appreciate this infinity, this impossibility this infinite spectrum. WE control the perception of the universe completely, in that sense we are more than it.
Well you are at the center of that infinite universe. So don't feel so insignificant. For those who may not understand my comment. It is indisputable, per each individual they are the center of their own perspective from which they percieve everything. Thus the true center of their universe, with no possible way to percieve otherwise.
Fun fact: if you were a Boltzmann brain, then you are the one who came out with all philosophies, sciences, theories, and literature in the entirety of history
This video is just religion with math. A loot of the thought experiment is just questions and opinions on the afterlife. Infinitely respawning as different things due to probabilities is just reincarnation with silly math. That's why no one should worry too much - it's the science version of religious faith exercises; What would happen if the ultimate evil tempted the ultimate good, for example.
@@grapeshott One of the key themes throughout this video, but which wasn't mentioned by name, is the philosophical theory of Indirect Realism, as the name suggests, it's a view of reality where we can only see/engage with the real world (base reality) indirectly- a way of understanding this for example is by looking at your computer screen, you engage with the computer screen with your senses (you watched the video, you read this comment etc.) but you can't see the internal mechanisms of your computer screen, you can't see past the screen to the wires inside, in this example the base reality is the wires inside the computer screen that give rise to/project the screen you're reading. They did it nice visually where the person is looking at his picnic and then colour is added, the base reality is grey and then the indirect experience of that base reality is the colours added on top. I hope that was clear and concise enough. Bertrand Russell is a key figure for Indirect Realism and is worth checking out, if you have questions regarding anything else in the video let me know
The idea that the concepts in this video have anything to do with science is pretty absurd. This is a pseudo-religious view (and it could be correct for all I know, but it is not "according to science"-a stupid and overwrought phrase).
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOME PEOPLE SEE GODS ALIENS DEMONS DEVIL ANGELS ETC ARE THE HIGHER BEINGS IN UPPER EALEM TRYING TO CONTACT US OR I HAVE APERSONAL THEORY WHEN WE HUMANS SLEEP WE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT TIMELINES AND EXPERIENCED IN OTHER PARALLEL UNIVERSE IN WHICH ARE DREAM SHOW I SAW MY NEIGHOURS DEATH BODY AND HIS FAREWELL IN MY DREAM YESTERDAY BUT IT DOES NOT HAPPENED IN REALITY MAYBE BECAUSE ITS OF SOME OTHER TIMELINE
Too bad only 5% of the population is intelligent and driven enough to make it meaningful. The rest are content to drink themselves to sleep in front of the TV.
The thing is, even if i am the dream of a dead universe, this feels real enough to me. It doesnt matter if it is "real" or not - in the end I believe im here. Whether it be hallucinatory or genuine its still a life that is convincingly real, so live it anyways yk
Theres also nothing you can do about it. In fact this should help overcoming your anxiety if you think about it. Your fears are pointless, just live your life and enjoy.
I like the idea of the Boltzmann Brain. It simultaneously makes you think that everything is meaningless because you are simply a screenshot of a moment in a life that was constructed at random yet it changes nothing, because you have no clue whether that is true or not, and you can still live your life entirely normal because you have no idea. It's like the most fundamental change anyone can realise in their life. Yet it is functionally a non issue. It doesn't change anything about your life, whether it's real or an illusion, so you just keep trotting along like you always have.
How far this channel has come, I don't think we'll ever get tired or bored of you guys. With all the other things in life, you guys make the world a better place to live in.
As soon as it was mentioned that the ink in the glass could form any shape, I was sure this was going to be a Boltzmann brain video. This is probably the best succinct summary of the concept I've seen.
I know nothing about science, but the ink in the glass got me confused, and maybe you know the answer. Doesn’t gravity affect the ink in the glass, and isn’t that why the ink spreads downward?? If the same thing was done on a spaceship, would the ink move the same way?
@@PJwithheart the ink is dissolved in the water, the same way sugar can be dissolved in water making a uniform solution despite being denser than water. so gravity isnt a factor. but, even being dissolved like that, given an infinite amount of time, the ink can form a blob.
@@PJwithheart In this case the ink naturally floats on top as it's less dense than water. It disperses into the water for complex fluid-mechanic reasons as well as entropy.
This does make one big mistake in its assumptions tho: The chances that a brain will emerge as part of evolution are much, much, much higher than the chances that a brain will emerge spontaneously out of a random configuration of particles, In our universe we only needed 14 billion years for brains to emerge. It also makes the mistake in assuming that a planet or a galaxy is much less likely to form than a brain. A planet or galaxy don't need to form in the precise exact manner, meanwhile a brain capable of hallucinating the entire reality does. So while a galaxy may be orders of magnitude bigger and more complex than a particular brain there's simple laws of physics that just require matter to exist in order form a galaxy, meanwhile for a brain everything needs to be in the exact right place and of the exact right type.
@@sparkyparky9439 Not sure how you reach that conclusion. As the video points out, localized dips in entropy are not forbidden by physics, they're just not probable.
Your animation is perfectly motioned and the physics behind it makes it even more interesting. Just here sitting with my existential crisis hahah. Well done!
Honestly if i were a floating brain and i made all of this up, i think that would be pretty cool. So insanely lucky to have had the opportunity to experience all this.
@@Sweetyhide You just need to regain the curiosity your child brain had years ago. Start questioning things around you - existence is absurd and confusing, let that be positive not negative
Shut up, everything you know, love, care about. All the memories. The love of your parents. Sadness and all that encompasses the human experience would all be an illusion because you in fact have NOTHING else. And you think that would be cool and lucky? Not to mention all the hard work and suffering others have experienced including yourself. All for truly truly nothing.
Now, I'll tell you something, I was expecting this video to be way more existentially dreadful than it turned out to be! This was quite an interesting exercise!
-Absolutely excellent animation and visuals. -An existential crisis that my brain cannot even comprehend at first. -Cute birdies. Ah, good old Kurzgesagt. It's been a while since I last visited this channel, and I just got into this absolute existential bomb of a video lmao The animation and overall quality of the videos are better and better each time. Just when I think you cannot go any higher, you surprise me yet again. It's crazy. Keep it up, guys!!

This is some of the best stuff on the internet. Existential questions, but with a relentlessly hopeful & generally upbeat outlook. This channel approaches some questions I only barely thought of & gives my brain a new way to look at things I already knew about. This is brain food. 😀
This is the worst channel because it makes me go through the 5 stages of grief . Depression Denial Existential chrisis . Being a floating brain More depression
It stands to reason that you can't actually die. Since you don't experience anything once you've died, a near infinite amount of time will pass. Time in which everything tgat can happen, will happen. One of those happenings will be you. So from your perspective, you just experienced passing away and immediately waking up.
@@VikingTeddy I was thinking the same for a long time. But now I dont believe that the person who wakes up after you die, will be "you". I´d like to compare a human being to a computer (or AI). If you destroy one computer and then build another, 100% indentical to the first one, it would be still a different computer. Or you could imagine that you are a newborn baby. You die and after your dead, a 100% identical baby will be born. Will it be you? I dont think so. If you think that it is still you, then we have the following paradox: You are a newborn baby. The futuristic machine will create your 100% identical copy. Do you have now the same consciousness in both bodies? Are both babys "you" at the same time? We still dont fully understand the consciousness. I was lately having the following thought experiment: A baby is bornt. The baby is blind, deaf, cannot feel pain, cannot feel anything, it does not interact with the world at all. But otherwise its brain function "normally". Does this baby has a consciouness? It has literally no thoughts, no language, no feeling.
@@erikdurjak467 In the case of the two identical copies one of those copies will have to be you. You will know it and you will know which one because you will experience conciousness in that body. What he’s trying to argue is that by definiton conciousness cannot be interrupted or can not not exist. So you will always exist in what form? Well just look around and find out. You know your conciousness can experience lapses (knocked out, sleeping) and yet you wake up and it’s still you, you make new memories and it’s still you, your personality changes and it’s still you.
I'm barely 0:12 into the video and I'm amazed how far Kurzgesagt has gone in terms of animation. The character's expressions at the beginning are just NEAT. You guys are really an inspiration.
@@confuciuslolalmao what? Kurzgesagt has a net worth of 6.69mil dollars. That's not the same of dispensable capital, so no they do not spend a couple million for a video, and I doubt they drop that much for the entirety of their video catalogue in a year.
@@confuciuslolaI can animate like this on my shitty laptop and have ai narrate up to this standard with eleven labs. meat canyon does animations all the time completely by himself and so many others you just have to understand the process.
As long as Kurzgesagt keeps these iconic animations and transitions consistent throughout the whole video I'm happy to watch at the cost of an existential crisis 😂
nah, easy fix - don't have an existential crisis. What got me through mine was the realisation if that nothing matters, then why does it matter that nothing does? Just gives you the freedom to live how you want, without infringing on the happiness of other people. If you've learned of a philosophy that scares you, like this one, just remember; it doesn't change anything, because it always was. It's nothing to be afraid of. Live life good my g. (I know you were kidding, man, but I just wanted to share that :) )
Dear kurzgesagt, The pixel art animation is absolutely incredible! The motion pictures , expresses a story aside from the There are so many ways to understand life. A drop into a glass of water is not the best way to understand life, yet you all have your own way to understand life. I like to see life like a clock of many gears, even the smallest of gears creates the big clock, and without the small things, time would not be. When you express theories or opinion, please make it bold to the public that it is an opinion or a theory, to make sure that people are not confused. The efforts have potential, and are appreciated. Best regards, Kaylan known as Professor Cygnus and Angels
This is an incredibly important message to talk about how scientific theory is just that, Theory. Passing all theories off as fact has a tendency to backfire drastically to the uninformed
The concept of the Boltzmann brain theory and the idea that our reality might be just a fleeting thought in the vastness of the cosmos is both fascinating and somewhat unsettling. It's incredible how these videos manage to introduce concepts that I've never even thought about before in such a clear and engaging way. And of course, a huge shoutout to Steve Taylor for his amazing voice-overs. His narration always adds depth and gravitas to the content. Overall, this video left me with a profound sense of wonder and a lot to think about. Kurzgesagt continues to expand my horizons with their thoughtful and beautiful work. Can't wait to see what they explore next
0:55 So I’m a physics PhD student…and I’ve actually studied a phenomenon in quantum mechanics which is pretty much exactly the equivalent of a drop of dye coming back together after spreading out into water! It’s called quantum scarring, you get some weird situations where if you set the initial conditions for your experiment just right, the system will keep returning to that same initial state (but if you set it up any other way, it just rapidly decays to thermal equilibrium like you’d expect). Not exactly related to the video but I think it’s pretty cool!
think of thought as an observer and all of NOW happening concurrently, then use quantum mechanics to explain intuition. Using the bodies cells to communicate a potential outcome through vibrational signals and other means of communication. using "spooky action at a distance" theoretically our cells can be in constant communication with potential futures. We need only hone our intuitive functions to grasp what is being communicate when we have those moments of intuitive. So learning the language of your body could help someone navigate their current present much more fluidly.
@@santosdr2 cells don't communicate via 'vibrations'. Don't bring in pseudoscience like 'cells could communicate with potential futures if you tried hard enough' into an actual thought experiment. The best way to navigate the current present is to be practical about it and live in the present, not by grasping at straws of seeing futures. That's not what people of science live by.
For some reason this reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft’s vision of the whole universe being a literal dream of the cosmic entity Azatoth, whose awakening would instantly spell the end of reality as we know it.
Its prolly because they might paint the separate limbs or the birds or humans and them move them seperately, they might also reuse backgrounds and the animation style is pretty simple actually but its still amazing
Whoever says that should go to North Korea, Afganistan or Ukraine to see how much of an illusion life really is. People just say this cuz they are bored
i dreamed that a bunch of normies once got upset at kurzgesagt for showing skepticism towards the theory of human induced climate change and the religion-like certainty that came along with such beliefs.
Reminds me of a quote from Brennan Lee Mulligan "In the same way that your heart feels and your mind thinks, you are the instrument by which the universe cares."
Some nights, I have dreams within dreams. Everything is so real. I can read and tell time and find my way around every "reality" I'm in atm. Its weird. ❤
They have pictures of culinary staff on their website. You will not be happy if you pursue a career in the culinary industry... the issue with this world isn't a lack of smart capable people with big dreams, it's a system which rewards selfishness and punishes new ideas. You can turn a hundred factory workers into biologists, it doesn't mean they're gonna get funding to research herbal medicines. They'll still be proving prozac's better than St Johns wort until money loses its value and potential to sway people altogether
Been thinking about this for a while. That as long as we are conscious, so is the universe. We coexist, and forever will be interlinked. We are understanding not only ourselves, but the universe itself, which also it’s us.
I’m glad you guys are spreading existentialism concepts. I think consciousness will soon find its place in science and we need more people investing ideas and practice into consciousness.
Yes. This entire video is essential hinting at infinite consciousness and the true nature of ourselves. The funny part is calling infinite consciousness a “dead universe.” It made me giggle. Infinite consciousness is the source of all life despite entropy because it tuned all the constants of nature for life. This universe and all its contents to include our bodies is the “dreamed reality” of the infinite consciousness that we all are.
I think it already has. I think a lot of neuroscience and a bit of psychology is basically a description of and a search for how certain physical phenomena relate to consciousness
If you like critical theory you should check out Karen Barad! She's essentially a feminist philosopher with a PhD in physics focusing on the history and philosophy of quantum theories. She combines Bohr's work and contemporary critical theory in really interesting ways to talk about consciousness as fundamentally relational, really interesting stuff!

If talking in context of Philosophy / Purpose/ Reason for Creation/Existence then be sure that THERE has to be one Absolute Truth/ Objective Reality (100%) [regardless of what different scientists, ph.ds, doctors, philosophers, societies, religions, cultures, individuals, etcetera believe]. The rest could be either - 1). Some Truth with some Falsehood mix in it (no matter in what ratio/ percentage it is in) or 2). Complete Falsehood/ Delusion (100% Wrong). Its something like this - [If Analogy is to be used our Body is like a Hardware of the Computer and our Soul is like a Software. Just as Computer's Hardware is Useless without a Software, similarly, a Body is also Useless /Lifeless without a Soul.] We go through 5 Phases in our Life :- 1. The Realm (outside of this material Universe) where we took an oath & chose to be granted free will and want to be get Tested (The Testimony of believing in Only One God by our soul), 2. In our mother's womb (9 months) - The soul is breathed into the body, which gets created from a single molecule through a unique DNA🧬 (An Instruction Manual/ A Program/ Code) fashioned/ programmed by Creator. And, as the soul enters a body that's from where our consciousness and conscience comes (it happens with a lightning speed i.e. in a fraction of a second which Scientists/ Doctors couldn't able to capture it), 3. On Earth 🌎 (On an average of about 60-70 years) [Commencement of Test with the Development of Conscience], 4. In the Grave (The time frame from our death till the Day of Judgment/ Resurrection) & 5. In Paradise or Hell (Eternal Life). All are Temporary except after the Resurrection. So, the consciousness in brain 🧠 gets activated when soul enters the body & through soul the conscience (sense of right and wrong) of heart gets activated (including feelings like joy, peace, pain, anger, etc.).
This is why I stick with the old "I'm gonna just do my best to make my little corner of the world a kinder, more loving place". If it's all real, then I hopefully kept that place a little brighter with my time there. If it's all fake, then I still made that place better. If it turns out everything around me is not real, then at least I treated it all with the kindness and respect that reality deserves. Or I just concocted this philosophy as a defense mechanism against any existential crisis. Probably the latter, if I'm being honest :P
At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter if our lives are real or not because it is, as of now, the only existence that we know off. So just try to make the most out of it, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter anyway cause it could all just be a dream of the vast cosmo haha. Have a nice day
Hi this was super fun to learn about !! My little sister really enjoyed this video and learning science through your channel!!!!!! She said she loved this video and that she will subscribe! Thanks!
Fun fact, this is an idea called the Boltzmann brain, that was thought up when the idea of thermodynamics were still being invented, and physicists began realizing that everything is random chance

I would really love to see a more in-depth video about the whole "the universe expanding fast enough makes things essentially an inverted black hole where the space fills with particles again" - that's definitely a new interpretation I've seen of dark energy-driven expansion, and I didn't really see anything in the sources that fleshed that out.
The TL;DR is that since space expands exponentially there's a certain distance where additional space fills the gap between you and an object at that distance at the same rate as something moving at the speed of light through space would cross it, resulting in the most positive speed toward you being zero (negative meaning away from you). If you go even further space fills the gap even faster so even a light speed object pointed right at you would be moving away overall, which would make it even further away and escalate the effect.
People are fawning over this video, but the number of assumptions going on here just makes it sound like my buddy on acid. It's all just empty speculation.@@thomascampbell2128

Kinda like something similar from futurama where after the death of the universe. The empty space collapses on itself creating another big bang restarting the universe
My first shrooms trip was exactly this experience. For a solid two hours or so, I imagined that I was a brain floating in the universe, making up all of my experiences to avoid the eternal nothingness of space. Everything I thought existed was just a creation of my mind, and I was slipping out of my reality and into THE reality. The only thing that pulled me back was calling my wife and telling myself that even if it's all made up, it's been pretty great. I told myself that my wife was the best thing I ever made up 😂 Overall, a fun trip lol.
I had the same experience but in a very unpleasant way. Individual humans etc being compartmentalised pieces of consciousness as part of the greater whole, to which we will eventually return; the entire physical universe being an imagined set of dimensions, like a playground of sorts created by the parent for its children, so that we can exist in a world which makes some sort of sense and follows logic. Leaving it behind removed all logic from my experience, and suddenly the question of "why is there something rather than nothing?" was mine alone to answer. Still haven't put together the experience but it's not a state I'm eager to return to, and I hope for all our sakes it's not a true representation of reality. What made the experience enjoyable for you, if I may ask?
Exactly man. I think all this is something of an illusion we've made for ourselves, you may be right. But it certainly feels real, doesn't it? It's certainly full of wonder and love, to those who can see past all the fear they have created in themselves. We are all the same yet we are all different, slightly varied expressions of the same source. I think it's beautiful and nothing could be better, you just need to understand how to uproot the construct of fear within you that is making it terrifying. "The only thing to fear is fear itself."
I like how kurzgesagt talks about one scientific theory and uses a metaphor of ink in water being able to go back to a drop of ink, completely ignoring diffusion, something very important in science
The boltzmann brain theory is one of my biggest existential nightmares. The moment you started talking about a disembodied brain, I knew exactly what this video was going to be about lol
I would love if someone could explain this to me in the most easy to understand terms. I love Kurzgesagt, but this video made no sense to me once we got past the first five minutes, and I'd like to understand the ideas presented here.
@@DanGrant365 From wikipedia: "The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it might be more likely for a single brain to spontaneously form in a void, complete with a memory of having existed in our universe, rather than for the entire universe to come about in the manner cosmologists think it actually did."
To me it is comforting. It would be nice to actually discover one day that all the horrible things you witnessed in your life didn't actually happen but were a figment of your imagination.
It’s crazy to see all the ways we could die every day, it makes you realize how life really is. Even though it’s scary, it’s also kind of amazing that we’re alive at all! I love how they turned a dark topic into something interesting and even a little comforting. It definitely makes me appreciate life more, knowing how unexpected everything is.
god, that was the most intense Kurzgesagt video in a while haha. it introduced concepts I'd never thought of before in my life; I was mind-blown. amazing stuff Kurzgesagt, thank you for always expanding my horizons with your thoughtful, beautiful work.
This just seems like it's a different explanation for how the big bang occurred: the random chance of everything accumulating into one drop happened, and then the universe reset itself. Great video.
This is actually a theory scientists are considering. If you take it a step further, there could be many other big bangs happening in different places. 'Multiverses' if you will, which makes this video even more existential.
This is a brutal misunderstanding of probability in physics. Probability is a tool of understanding a universe completely free from probability. We think of particles in a gas as having random motion, but there is nothing random about the motion of particles. We are just ignorant to the behavior of individual particles. Just because a statistical physics model says that it is astronomically small chance for something to happen doesn't mean it is physically possible. What it means is that this is way beyond where the model we are using breaks down. Statistical models only exist to look at trends. An artifact is that they predict small chances for certain events to happen that may be impossible, because that is not within the definition of trends. You can't just say that there is a small probability that all matter in the universe ends up in the same spot. You need to have a physical process for something that specific. Without a model for that you are just misusing models to give asinine results. It is like using Newtonian mechanics to argue that we can travel faster than the speed of light. The universe is not a lottery. Probability can useful to understand trends, but nothing more. It says very little of what is possible beyond that trend.
@@MegaBanne Determinism isn't validated by quantum mechanics. Einstein said this same thing, only to be brick-walled by the study of it. It is a sound theory, but has yet to overcome that hurdle. It's always made the most sense to me though.
@@moondude363 Determinism is not validated by anything. It is an assumption demanded when you do science. If you assume that something happens for no reason then you need to argue why that is the case. If you can't argue why this is a special case and still assume acausality, then you no longer have the right to assume anything happens for a reason. You can't abandon the concept of cause and effect when it is convenient to you. Either you assume it is always there or nowhere. It is not a model. It is the only reason why you do science, that what you research can have a causality that explains it. Physicists are clueless about the fundamentals behind quantum physics. They are ignorant and pretend to know. Their arrogance has lead them to claim that it is magic. They are stupid. Just because no one has an underlying theory of quantum physics doesn't give you the right to claim that it is the be all and end all of physics and do so with honesty. This should be evidence enough of how stupid physicists can be. Probability is as human as luck or the concept of random. It all stems from ignorance.
@@MegaBanneAnd still it could be, that if all mass ends up motionless, it will fall to each other and therefore to the center (if mass is distributed equally in all directions of the universe). All mass falling and then combining in the center? Well, that would lead to high pressure, high temps and finally the big bang - if I my understandig of physics is correct. So a second big bang is not unlikely. I know, there is the theory, that the universe will expand faster and faster. That would mean that a force ripping everything outwards exists. As far as I know, we currently observe an always faster expansion, but if this is due to a force or just observation error - or maybe the force will get weaker and weaker the "bigger" the universe will be? - fact is, we don't know enough for these questions to be answered.
I love that it ends how I always do when thinking about this. We just don't know enough about essentially anything to make any grand claims about existence.
What I like about the kurzegazgt is their narrative. It's an engaging script that make us to think the possibilities that exist in our daily life. Also, their animation makes thing easier to digest. A truly form of information for general consume.
These are the smoothest and most awesome transitions I've seen in any science animation on the whole of youtube. I feel like this is a really underrated aspect of Kurzgesagt that people don't talk about often
Who ever wrote this script! Kudos, thank you and take our love. Kurzgesagt is amazing and I will never be tired of saying this. Steve's voice is top class as always. ❤
They looked forward to that 1+1=💀 with joy, but without haste, not pining for it, but seeming to have a foretaste of it in their hearts, of which they talked to one another. But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family.
The trippy nature of existance is awesome! Thank you Kurzgesagt team for the incredible value you bring to my life :) Love you, fellow human being reading this and sharing the experience with me ❤
I find this to be very refreshing and not an existential crises at all. This would mean that the perception of this universe would never end even if my identity as a person ends when I die. The perception of the universe seems to be a quality of the universe itself and not of me. I probably qualify the universe with my identity but that quality will change infinitely but still remains. This makes me so happy because it means that life won’t end haha. It makes me want to live in the arrangement of the perception and not in my identity. That arrangement could be art, mountains, car racing, space travel, sex etc etc.. it gives real essence to these things and gives infinite complexity that will keep any brain engaged and not bored for an infinite amount of time..
Really hits close to my thoughts as well. Even if you as the conscious entity you currently are ends, there are still uncountable numbers of other entities that will be able to experience the universe from their own unique perspective. Time is meaningless as well when you die, so it will all seem like a seamless transition from death to new life. You could call it rebirth as well if you’d like. The universe only really exists from our own perspective, so when we end, so too does our current idea of the universe, but that doesn’t mean it ends permanently, since in an infinite universe, there will always be someone/some entity that will always have their own perspective on reality. Since we are a fraction of the universe experiencing itself as being alive, the universe is essentially immortal as well.
Beeing a dream of a dead universe is just a dream. A comforting one at that. But dont fall into that trap. If you're miserabel here, that whats matter. It's quite improbable you are the creator of all you've seen
Your thinking perspective is too optimistic for me. Like ok, in life good things happen but bad things also happen too. For example a man rape a children or some body can kill an important person, animals suffer from our existentiality only. Where ım getting to is; Is life worth living?
Black holes are so powerful not even light escapes…besides some particles that escape for reasons we fail to mention so let’s just forget about hawking radiation and simplify things to a point we contradict ourselves.
If this channel persists until the day I can finish school and get a job, working with Kurzgesaght would be a dream. I'm unsure if I'd be smart enough for the job but I'd be nice to work with people as enthusiastic about the wonders of space and time as I am.
Intelligence isn't innate. It's earned (Although some people get a headstart) It's one hundred percent passion and dedication. If someone understands a topic better than you, that gap can be overcome with effort.
Something that makes this channel better is that they get millions of views every video without any clickbait thumbnail or clickbait title . You just get the feeling to watch them .❤
what's even crazier is that a single human can think/come up with all the things thought before by any other person that has ever lived or will live, all by themselves. We do that everyday, we come up with genius ideas/theories by ourselves while simply on the couch, then later on we find out that that idea/theory actually exists and it was actually a pretty big deal or discovery that took years to figure out, yet you just thought of that by yourself while just observing reality. However, knowing all things would take an insane amount of time ("infinite" for our perception) it would also take some existential intelligence (common sense) for physics, emotions and imagination. amazing video, amazing topic like always Kurzgesagt! Much Love🤍
This is my new favourite video. I love this way of thinking due to how crazy it sounds while also making sense at the same time while ALSO being a fun thing to cure boredom. 10/10
To me this provides a very palatable framing for the many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It's not that we are transported to an alternative universe each time a Quantum event occurs, but it's that you experience your life like they were frames of an animation (but the frames are extremely far apart and not perfectly continuous i.e. things sometimes jump about randomly). After I type this comment I could live the rest of my life, die and wait until this universe ends and another one re-emerges which is nearly-identically... and then I will be back typing the last sentence of this comment.
I think this is a bit different from the many worlds interpretation right? This seems to be more about a strange statistical thermodynamics thought experiment, rather than the hypothetical realisation of all possibilities given by wave functions. Or are you saying that this frames the many worlds interpretation as already co existing universes with every possible difference in wave function collapses happening simultaneously, instead of universes branching at the point of wave function collapse? I wouldn’t call that a framing of many worlds, it’s more of an alternative interpretation all together.
Maybe I have a theory Lets assume a person named 'john' dies due to a car accident in a universe In that universe John's relatives will know that john is no more But in the POV of john no accident had occurred and he is still living his normal life with his family But for a creature POV who has the power of watcher (A marvel character who watches everything occuring in different universes) know that john has been shifted from one universe to another , where both universe seems similar Maybe this thing also occurs when people dies , their memory of dying vanishes and they shifted to another universe This idea may seems to be silly but it facinates me in my childhood 😅😅😅
I love the fact that this video helps me look less crazy because I really think about stuff every single day of my life like I know there is WAY more out there than what we know lol 😂 it just has to be.
Of course there is, every single theory on existence and the universe I've ever read or watched always brings me back to two solutions. Either we are just incredibly small pawns in a huge, possibly infinite game that do not matter at all, or the Boltzmann theory. That there is just one single being, or maybe not even that, that dreames this reality up and it all doesn't even quite exist in the first place. Then I always get led to a single question, but what comes after that? There always seems like there has to be something more, something to complete it, but then again, it can't ever be complete. If it could, nothingness would be possible. But how? I think most of us don't want to accept that ''nothing'' is possible, so we keep looking for something else. What is outside our universe? Another universe. What is outside of that? Another,...Well after the last universe if that even exists, what comes? Someone or something that dreamt this all up or created it. And where is he? In an even bigger universe... Well I probably talked about that longer than I have to to make it plausible but you get what I mean!
@lelouchvibrittania1170 I mean the book of Luke in the Bible. I am not saying this in a provocative manner, but that's what I know helped answer a lot of my questions. If you do get a chance, kindly do so, tell me what you think.

Infinity isn't a number. It isn't a really big number either. It's...well it's infinite. It's a concept. It's endless, without bound or limit. It transcends numbers entirely. To say it's a big number completely misrepresents the scale of infinity. It's quite literally infinitely larger than that.
Two physicists were discussing reality. One said that they were dreaming, the other said he knew they weren't and he could prove it. He proceeded to formulate an airtight proof showing conclusively that the two were definitely not living in a dream. It was such a monumental break through for math and physics that the physicist was awarded the Nobel prize.
And then he woke up.

I think what's even more fascinating is the fact that, as we humans gain more and more knowledge... we're only left with exponentially more questions.
Riight, and those answers even undermine former answers, and eventually are undermined by future answers... Its all just a game. A game that religions speak about. And from what I can sense, science is also slowly proceeding to the realization, that there is no such think as definitive knowledge. Or more like there is, but at the same time there is not. Everything is just omnipotent chaos. And thats the most funny, and the most dreadful realisatiom there is. xdd
Philosophy is fun.
That is the awesome thing about having a spongy knowledge craving brain! I will never run out of ways of learning.
We are chasing infinity. We are chasing God, but we will never find him.
exactly, our knowledge is just like the universe. The more it expands, the more questions (space) arise and the longer it goes on even questions form a lot faster (just like the expansion of the universe)
It's the Dunning-Kruger Effect - the more you know, the more you know you don't know.
dude just gave the entire universe an existential crisis 💀
Yes indeed😮
I always go through this Rollercoaster of hating the implications of an infinite universe, and feeling incredibly, indeed infinitely, small and insignificant, then feeling immense relief when I realise that that takes a lot of pressure off and I can just carry on enjoying my life without worrying about the potential cosmic implications
I like going in the opposite direction.
This infinity, this impossibility, this hard to imagine scenario of being an infinitesimal small dot of time and space is all we have of our lives. That said, during that small window, we can appreciate this infinity, this impossibility this infinite spectrum.
WE control the perception of the universe completely, in that sense we are more than it.
Dude infinite universe would be wilf because that means every thought/scenario that you’ve had is true/has happened somewhere way far off
Well you are at the center of that infinite universe. So don't feel so insignificant.
For those who may not understand my comment. It is indisputable, per each individual they are the center of their own perspective from which they percieve everything. Thus the true center of their universe, with no possible way to percieve otherwise.
No worries, you (along with the entire planet and it's components and life forms) don't really matter that much.
huh
Fun fact: if you were a Boltzmann brain, then you are the one who came out with all philosophies, sciences, theories, and literature in the entirety of history
Well I didnt want to brag....
Actually it would be the universe who made it all up and you would be made up alongside it ...

@@Spooglecraft nahhh Ludwig was first there
Reminds me of that Obama meme where he's giving himself a metal.
I love how this is both a science and philosophy channel. The combination of fact and theory here is incredible.
This video is just religion with math. A loot of the thought experiment is just questions and opinions on the afterlife. Infinitely respawning as different things due to probabilities is just reincarnation with silly math. That's why no one should worry too much - it's the science version of religious faith exercises; What would happen if the ultimate evil tempted the ultimate good, for example.
I couldn't understand really anything though. It would be helpful if someone explains me simply in brief.
In brief, you would understand even less.@@grapeshott
@@grapeshott One of the key themes throughout this video, but which wasn't mentioned by name, is the philosophical theory of Indirect Realism, as the name suggests, it's a view of reality where we can only see/engage with the real world (base reality) indirectly- a way of understanding this for example is by looking at your computer screen, you engage with the computer screen with your senses (you watched the video, you read this comment etc.) but you can't see the internal mechanisms of your computer screen, you can't see past the screen to the wires inside, in this example the base reality is the wires inside the computer screen that give rise to/project the screen you're reading. They did it nice visually where the person is looking at his picnic and then colour is added, the base reality is grey and then the indirect experience of that base reality is the colours added on top.
I hope that was clear and concise enough. Bertrand Russell is a key figure for Indirect Realism and is worth checking out, if you have questions regarding anything else in the video let me know
The idea that the concepts in this video have anything to do with science is pretty absurd. This is a pseudo-religious view (and it could be correct for all I know, but it is not "according to science"-a stupid and overwrought phrase).

Theres also nothing you can do about it. In fact this should help overcoming your anxiety if you think about it. Your fears are pointless, just live your life and enjoy.
Theologians and philosophers would say we can be more sure of our realness than the rest of observable reality
I like the idea of the Boltzmann Brain. It simultaneously makes you think that everything is meaningless because you are simply a screenshot of a moment in a life that was constructed at random yet it changes nothing, because you have no clue whether that is true or not, and you can still live your life entirely normal because you have no idea.
It's like the most fundamental change anyone can realise in their life. Yet it is functionally a non issue. It doesn't change anything about your life, whether it's real or an illusion, so you just keep trotting along like you always have.

it's gone from butchered science down to new age religion bullshit.
because they have bilionaire sponsors. That's why.
As soon as it was mentioned that the ink in the glass could form any shape, I was sure this was going to be a Boltzmann brain video. This is probably the best succinct summary of the concept I've seen.
I know nothing about science, but the ink in the glass got me confused, and maybe you know the answer. Doesn’t gravity affect the ink in the glass, and isn’t that why the ink spreads downward?? If the same thing was done on a spaceship, would the ink move the same way?
@@PJwithheart the ink is dissolved in the water, the same way sugar can be dissolved in water making a uniform solution despite being denser than water. so gravity isnt a factor.
but, even being dissolved like that, given an infinite amount of time, the ink can form a blob.
@@PJwithheart In this case the ink naturally floats on top as it's less dense than water. It disperses into the water for complex fluid-mechanic reasons as well as entropy.
This does make one big mistake in its assumptions tho: The chances that a brain will emerge as part of evolution are much, much, much higher than the chances that a brain will emerge spontaneously out of a random configuration of particles, In our universe we only needed 14 billion years for brains to emerge.
It also makes the mistake in assuming that a planet or a galaxy is much less likely to form than a brain.
A planet or galaxy don't need to form in the precise exact manner, meanwhile a brain capable of hallucinating the entire reality does. So while a galaxy may be orders of magnitude bigger and more complex than a particular brain there's simple laws of physics that just require matter to exist in order form a galaxy, meanwhile for a brain everything needs to be in the exact right place and of the exact right type.
@@spliter88 agreed
I’ve thought about stuff like this before. I think it’s great how much detail this goes into, and how it doesn’t just ignore stuff either.
Interesting how you went through this whole thing without using the word entropy, just explaining in a way more people would intuitively understand

I´d like to compare a human being to a computer (or AI). If you destroy one computer and then build another, 100% indentical to the first one, it would be still a different computer.
Or you could imagine that you are a newborn baby. You die and after your dead, a 100% identical baby will be born. Will it be you? I dont think so. If you think that it is still you, then we have the following paradox: You are a newborn baby. The futuristic machine will create your 100% identical copy. Do you have now the same consciousness in both bodies? Are both babys "you" at the same time?
We still dont fully understand the consciousness.
I was lately having the following thought experiment: A baby is bornt. The baby is blind, deaf, cannot feel pain, cannot feel anything, it does not interact with the world at all. But otherwise its brain function "normally". Does this baby has a consciouness? It has literally no thoughts, no language, no feeling.
@@erikdurjak467
In the case of the two identical copies one of those copies will have to be you. You will know it and you will know which one because you will experience conciousness in that body.
What he’s trying to argue is that by definiton conciousness cannot be interrupted or can not not exist. So you will always exist in what form? Well just look around and find out.
You know your conciousness can experience lapses (knocked out, sleeping) and yet you wake up and it’s still you, you make new memories and it’s still you, your personality changes and it’s still you.

This is an incredibly important message to talk about how scientific theory is just that, Theory. Passing all theories off as fact has a tendency to backfire drastically to the uninformed
The concept of the Boltzmann brain theory and the idea that our reality might be just a fleeting thought in the vastness of the cosmos is both fascinating and somewhat unsettling. It's incredible how these videos manage to introduce concepts that I've never even thought about before in such a clear and engaging way.
And of course, a huge shoutout to Steve Taylor for his amazing voice-overs. His narration always adds depth and gravitas to the content.
Overall, this video left me with a profound sense of wonder and a lot to think about. Kurzgesagt continues to expand my horizons with their thoughtful and beautiful work. Can't wait to see what they explore next

It’s called quantum scarring, you get some weird situations where if you set the initial conditions for your experiment just right, the system will keep returning to that same initial state (but if you set it up any other way, it just rapidly decays to thermal equilibrium like you’d expect). Not exactly related to the video but I think it’s pretty cool!
think of thought as an observer and all of NOW happening concurrently, then use quantum mechanics to explain intuition.
Using the bodies cells to communicate a potential outcome through vibrational signals and other means of communication.
using "spooky action at a distance" theoretically our cells can be in constant communication with potential futures. We need only hone our intuitive functions to grasp what is being communicate when we have those moments of intuitive.
So learning the language of your body could help someone navigate their current present much more fluidly.
I read this as “So im a ADHD student..”
Is this related to time crystals?
@@santosdr2 cells don't communicate via 'vibrations'. Don't bring in pseudoscience like 'cells could communicate with potential futures if you tried hard enough' into an actual thought experiment.
The best way to navigate the current present is to be practical about it and live in the present, not by grasping at straws of seeing futures. That's not what people of science live by.
That's really cool. Was it, like, a simulation, something like that?
For some reason this reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft’s vision of the whole universe being a literal dream of the cosmic entity Azatoth, whose awakening would instantly spell the end of reality as we know it.

Been thinking about this for a while. That as long as we are conscious, so is the universe. We coexist, and forever will be interlinked. We are understanding not only ourselves, but the universe itself, which also it’s us.

I’m glad you guys are spreading existentialism concepts. I think consciousness will soon find its place in science and we need more people investing ideas and practice into consciousness.
we were almost there, but sadly existentialism has lost the zeitgeist in favor or more passing ideas. I hope you are right that interest will return.
Yes. This entire video is essential hinting at infinite consciousness and the true nature of ourselves. The funny part is calling infinite consciousness a “dead universe.” It made me giggle. Infinite consciousness is the source of all life despite entropy because it tuned all the constants of nature for life. This universe and all its contents to include our bodies is the “dreamed reality” of the infinite consciousness that we all are.
I think it already has. I think a lot of neuroscience and a bit of psychology is basically a description of and a search for how certain physical phenomena relate to consciousness
If you like critical theory you should check out Karen Barad! She's essentially a feminist philosopher with a PhD in physics focusing on the history and philosophy of quantum theories. She combines Bohr's work and contemporary critical theory in really interesting ways to talk about consciousness as fundamentally relational, really interesting stuff!

Always love it when Kurzgesagt does videos about philosophy! Keep making these great videos!
If talking in context of Philosophy / Purpose/ Reason for Creation/Existence then be sure that THERE has to be one Absolute Truth/ Objective Reality (100%)
[regardless of what different scientists, ph.ds, doctors, philosophers, societies, religions, cultures, individuals, etcetera believe].
The rest could be either -
1). Some Truth with some Falsehood mix in it (no matter in what ratio/ percentage it is in) or
2). Complete Falsehood/ Delusion (100% Wrong).
Its something like this -
[If Analogy is to be used our Body is like a Hardware of the Computer and our Soul is like a Software. Just as Computer's Hardware is Useless without a Software, similarly, a Body is also Useless /Lifeless without a Soul.]
We go through 5 Phases in our Life :-
1. The Realm (outside of this material Universe) where we took an oath & chose to be granted free will and want to be get Tested (The Testimony of believing in Only One God by our soul),
2. In our mother's womb (9 months) - The soul is breathed into the body, which gets created from a single molecule through a unique DNA🧬 (An Instruction Manual/ A Program/ Code) fashioned/ programmed by Creator. And, as the soul enters a body that's from where our consciousness and conscience comes (it happens with a lightning speed i.e. in a fraction of a second which Scientists/ Doctors couldn't able to capture it),
3. On Earth 🌎 (On an average of about 60-70 years)
[Commencement of Test with the Development of Conscience],
4. In the Grave (The time frame from our death till the Day of Judgment/ Resurrection) &
5. In Paradise or Hell (Eternal Life).
All are Temporary except after the Resurrection. So, the consciousness in brain 🧠 gets activated when soul enters the body & through soul the conscience (sense of right and wrong) of heart gets activated (including feelings like joy, peace, pain, anger, etc.).

This is why I stick with the old "I'm gonna just do my best to make my little corner of the world a kinder, more loving place". If it's all real, then I hopefully kept that place a little brighter with my time there. If it's all fake, then I still made that place better. If it turns out everything around me is not real, then at least I treated it all with the kindness and respect that reality deserves.
Or I just concocted this philosophy as a defense mechanism against any existential crisis. Probably the latter, if I'm being honest :P
At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter if our lives are real or not because it is, as of now, the only existence that we know off. So just try to make the most out of it, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter anyway cause it could all just be a dream of the vast cosmo haha. Have a nice day

Fun fact, this is an idea called the Boltzmann brain, that was thought up when the idea of thermodynamics were still being invented, and physicists began realizing that everything is random chance

Been watching them since week 1, and still amazed at their work quality.
I would really love to see a more in-depth video about the whole "the universe expanding fast enough makes things essentially an inverted black hole where the space fills with particles again" - that's definitely a new interpretation I've seen of dark energy-driven expansion, and I didn't really see anything in the sources that fleshed that out.
Look up hawking points. Potential proof the universe is cyclic.
black airforce 1
Yeah that felt weird to me. Basically just saying reverse Hawking radiation will fill everything back up?
The TL;DR is that since space expands exponentially there's a certain distance where additional space fills the gap between you and an object at that distance at the same rate as something moving at the speed of light through space would cross it, resulting in the most positive speed toward you being zero (negative meaning away from you). If you go even further space fills the gap even faster so even a light speed object pointed right at you would be moving away overall, which would make it even further away and escalate the effect.
People are fawning over this video, but the number of assumptions going on here just makes it sound like my buddy on acid. It's all just empty speculation.@@thomascampbell2128

My first shrooms trip was exactly this experience. For a solid two hours or so, I imagined that I was a brain floating in the universe, making up all of my experiences to avoid the eternal nothingness of space. Everything I thought existed was just a creation of my mind, and I was slipping out of my reality and into THE reality.
The only thing that pulled me back was calling my wife and telling myself that even if it's all made up, it's been pretty great. I told myself that my wife was the best thing I ever made up 😂 Overall, a fun trip lol.
Made up he says... perhaps it was just a glimpse into reality.
I had the same experience but in a very unpleasant way. Individual humans etc being compartmentalised pieces of consciousness as part of the greater whole, to which we will eventually return; the entire physical universe being an imagined set of dimensions, like a playground of sorts created by the parent for its children, so that we can exist in a world which makes some sort of sense and follows logic.
Leaving it behind removed all logic from my experience, and suddenly the question of "why is there something rather than nothing?" was mine alone to answer.
Still haven't put together the experience but it's not a state I'm eager to return to, and I hope for all our sakes it's not a true representation of reality. What made the experience enjoyable for you, if I may ask?
psychedelics are mid tbh 🥱
Exactly man. I think all this is something of an illusion we've made for ourselves, you may be right. But it certainly feels real, doesn't it? It's certainly full of wonder and love, to those who can see past all the fear they have created in themselves. We are all the same yet we are all different, slightly varied expressions of the same source. I think it's beautiful and nothing could be better, you just need to understand how to uproot the construct of fear within you that is making it terrifying. "The only thing to fear is fear itself."
Same man same, but I didnt consume any psychedelic. It was just normal w*ed. I cant even explain what other things I felt.

amazing stuff Kurzgesagt, thank you for always expanding my horizons with your thoughtful, beautiful work.
This just seems like it's a different explanation for how the big bang occurred: the random chance of everything accumulating into one drop happened, and then the universe reset itself. Great video.
This is actually a theory scientists are considering. If you take it a step further, there could be many other big bangs happening in different places. 'Multiverses' if you will, which makes this video even more existential.
This is a brutal misunderstanding of probability in physics.
Probability is a tool of understanding a universe completely free from probability.
We think of particles in a gas as having random motion, but there is nothing random about the motion of particles.
We are just ignorant to the behavior of individual particles.
Just because a statistical physics model says that it is astronomically small chance for something to happen doesn't mean it is physically possible.
What it means is that this is way beyond where the model we are using breaks down.
Statistical models only exist to look at trends.
An artifact is that they predict small chances for certain events to happen that may be impossible, because that is not within the definition of trends.
You can't just say that there is a small probability that all matter in the universe ends up in the same spot.
You need to have a physical process for something that specific.
Without a model for that you are just misusing models to give asinine results.
It is like using Newtonian mechanics to argue that we can travel faster than the speed of light.
The universe is not a lottery.
Probability can useful to understand trends, but nothing more.
It says very little of what is possible beyond that trend.
@@MegaBanne Determinism isn't validated by quantum mechanics. Einstein said this same thing, only to be brick-walled by the study of it. It is a sound theory, but has yet to overcome that hurdle. It's always made the most sense to me though.
@@moondude363
Determinism is not validated by anything.
It is an assumption demanded when you do science.
If you assume that something happens for no reason then you need to argue why that is the case.
If you can't argue why this is a special case and still assume acausality, then you no longer have the right to assume anything happens for a reason.
You can't abandon the concept of cause and effect when it is convenient to you.
Either you assume it is always there or nowhere.
It is not a model.
It is the only reason why you do science, that what you research can have a causality that explains it.
Physicists are clueless about the fundamentals behind quantum physics.
They are ignorant and pretend to know.
Their arrogance has lead them to claim that it is magic.
They are stupid.
Just because no one has an underlying theory of quantum physics doesn't give you the right to claim that it is the be all and end all of physics and do so with honesty.
This should be evidence enough of how stupid physicists can be.
Probability is as human as luck or the concept of random.
It all stems from ignorance.
@@MegaBanneAnd still it could be, that if all mass ends up motionless, it will fall to each other and therefore to the center (if mass is distributed equally in all directions of the universe). All mass falling and then combining in the center? Well, that would lead to high pressure, high temps and finally the big bang - if I my understandig of physics is correct.
So a second big bang is not unlikely.
I know, there is the theory, that the universe will expand faster and faster. That would mean that a force ripping everything outwards exists. As far as I know, we currently observe an always faster expansion, but if this is due to a force or just observation error - or maybe the force will get weaker and weaker the "bigger" the universe will be? - fact is, we don't know enough for these questions to be answered.
I love that it ends how I always do when thinking about this. We just don't know enough about essentially anything to make any grand claims about existence.
We do. This is bunk. The ink eventually settles at the bottom of the glass. This is a horrible understanding of probability, entropy, and energy.

I find this to be very refreshing and not an existential crises at all. This would mean that the perception of this universe would never end even if my identity as a person ends when I die. The perception of the universe seems to be a quality of the universe itself and not of me. I probably qualify the universe with my identity but that quality will change infinitely but still remains. This makes me so happy because it means that life won’t end haha. It makes me want to live in the arrangement of the perception and not in my identity. That arrangement could be art, mountains, car racing, space travel, sex etc etc.. it gives real essence to these things and gives infinite complexity that will keep any brain engaged and not bored for an infinite amount of time..
Don't forget the ancient Greek cautionary tale.
Ask not for eternal life but eternal youth.
Really hits close to my thoughts as well. Even if you as the conscious entity you currently are ends, there are still uncountable numbers of other entities that will be able to experience the universe from their own unique perspective. Time is meaningless as well when you die, so it will all seem like a seamless transition from death to new life. You could call it rebirth as well if you’d like. The universe only really exists from our own perspective, so when we end, so too does our current idea of the universe, but that doesn’t mean it ends permanently, since in an infinite universe, there will always be someone/some entity that will always have their own perspective on reality. Since we are a fraction of the universe experiencing itself as being alive, the universe is essentially immortal as well.
Beeing a dream of a dead universe is just a dream. A comforting one at that. But dont fall into that trap. If you're miserabel here, that whats matter. It's quite improbable you are the creator of all you've seen
Your thinking perspective is too optimistic for me. Like ok, in life good things happen but bad things also happen too. For example a man rape a children or some body can kill an important person, animals suffer from our existentiality only. Where ım getting to is; Is life worth living?
A copy of you would keep existing but you‘d still be gone forever.
Black holes are so powerful not even light escapes…besides some particles that escape for reasons we fail to mention so let’s just forget about hawking radiation and simplify things to a point we contradict ourselves.
If this channel persists until the day I can finish school and get a job, working with Kurzgesaght would be a dream. I'm unsure if I'd be smart enough for the job but I'd be nice to work with people as enthusiastic about the wonders of space and time as I am.
Intelligence isn't innate. It's earned
(Although some people get a headstart)
It's one hundred percent passion and dedication.
If someone understands a topic better than you, that gap can be overcome with effort.
Something that makes this channel better is that they get millions of views every video without any clickbait thumbnail or clickbait title . You just get the feeling to watch them .❤
what's even crazier is that a single human can think/come up with all the things thought before by any other person that has ever lived or will live, all by themselves. We do that everyday, we come up with genius ideas/theories by ourselves while simply on the couch, then later on we find out that that idea/theory actually exists and it was actually a pretty big deal or discovery that took years to figure out, yet you just thought of that by yourself while just observing reality. However, knowing all things would take an insane amount of time ("infinite" for our perception) it would also take some existential intelligence (common sense) for physics, emotions and imagination.
amazing video, amazing topic like always Kurzgesagt! Much Love🤍
Thank you, for giving me an existential crisis that made realise to make the most of life while you can.
This is my new favourite video. I love this way of thinking due to how crazy it sounds while also making sense at the same time while ALSO being a fun thing to cure boredom. 10/10
To me this provides a very palatable framing for the many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It's not that we are transported to an alternative universe each time a Quantum event occurs, but it's that you experience your life like they were frames of an animation (but the frames are extremely far apart and not perfectly continuous i.e. things sometimes jump about randomly). After I type this comment I could live the rest of my life, die and wait until this universe ends and another one re-emerges which is nearly-identically... and then I will be back typing the last sentence of this comment.
I think this is a bit different from the many worlds interpretation right? This seems to be more about a strange statistical thermodynamics thought experiment, rather than the hypothetical realisation of all possibilities given by wave functions.
Or are you saying that this frames the many worlds interpretation as already co existing universes with every possible difference in wave function collapses happening simultaneously, instead of universes branching at the point of wave function collapse? I wouldn’t call that a framing of many worlds, it’s more of an alternative interpretation all together.

That there is just one single being, or maybe not even that, that dreames this reality up and it all doesn't even quite exist in the first place.
Then I always get led to a single question, but what comes after that? There always seems like there has to be something more, something to complete it, but then again, it can't ever be complete. If it could, nothingness would be possible. But how? I think most of us don't want to accept that ''nothing'' is possible, so we keep looking for something else. What is outside our universe? Another universe. What is outside of that? Another,...Well after the last universe if that even exists, what comes? Someone or something that dreamt this all up or created it. And where is he? In an even bigger universe...
Well I probably talked about that longer than I have to to make it plausible but you get what I mean!
what do you know ?
I encourage you to read the book of Luke I believe you will find answers there.
@@andinda7915Luke who? Full name please.
@lelouchvibrittania1170 I mean the book of Luke in the Bible. I am not saying this in a provocative manner, but that's what I know helped answer a lot of my questions.
If you do get a chance, kindly do so, tell me what you think.
