Isaac, I’ve been watching you since my freshman year of high school, I am finishing my second year of college now, and it is absolutely remarkable how you have developed and improved your content and community, without watering it down. Huge congratulations for the new position, I can’t think of a better science educator for the role. God bless, and keep it up sir.
Indeed I remember the after the first few episodes I though “this guy is great, I wonder how long it will be until he runs out of Fermi Paradox questions to write about and the channel slows down?” But, I’ve been so fortunately surprised with its longevity and ever improving quality!
Amazing how much progress you’ve made speaking, Isaac! I didn’t know it was even possible to bootstrap your way out of a speech impediment, but hearing you say “mirror arrays” perfectly compared to videos you made 5 years ago - it’s incredible. I didn’t know it was even possible. Thanks for bringing such great content! You’ll never meet all of us, but I hope you know that the numbers are real people, you’ve educated and sparked interest in science in literally millions of people by now!
Congratulations! I'll take this opportunity to say that people like you keep the dream of the stars alive in a time when all too many people have become defeatist about humanity's prospects. It is no wonder the NSS wanted you. You are a much-needed voice of optimism. Thank you for that!
Congrats on your new role Isaac! With you at the helm, a future like this is more likely to come sooner rather than later. And another wonderful and informative video.
This is the first time in forty years I've seen an *understandable* synoptic description of the galactic neighborhood. Add my congratulations and THANKS for your service.
Wow! Congratulations on the new NSS position! It's downright neat seeing one of my favourite modern futurist voices take the helm of one of the more futurist organizations in town. The more people across the lands who take the long view, the better.
Always loved your videos ❤️ extremely insightful and easy to understand when you break down certain topics for us. We are truly blessed to have such an amazing and informative content creator 🌏
When he brought into the idea the expansion of the universe making intraglactic spacelanes subject to being torn apart by the expansion of the universe... That's right, right? I don't know I just dropped right back into a speculative space without emotional investment.
They impress me, I love the graphics! But that's all we have, seriously. I think the comment-section is depressing as HELL, it just slays me that anyone can think any of us is going ANYWHERE in this context!!! It's really not sane.
Congratulations on your new title, Mr. President! We are all happy for you as our online Sci-Fi, Physics and Astronomy teacher with the best and easiest to understand videos about our Universe.
It’s weird how inspiring this stuff is when it’s almost certain that none of us will live to see it, but I guess that kind of thing what makes us human.
We can be the ones that lay the foundation, that build the groundworks for this brave new future. Or we can be the ones that lounge in obscurity and if anything make sure it never happens. Never underestimate the impact you can have.
That’s what really inspires, is the things we leave behind, and the things we help bring into being, even if, and I would say especially if, we don’t see the ending.
I've been watching your videos for quite awhile now and I can't think of even one that was not exceptionally interesting and informative. I'm happy for your new role and am sure you will be just as exceptional at the helm of the NSS! Well deserved, sir, well deserved.
Followed this channel for years, can't think of anyone better for that role. You create accessable, knowledgeable and inspiring science content, as a layman I love it. Congrats! From a brit and fellow vet of the other sand pit, Issac🤟
Congrats on the NSS presidency! I have some concerns about the aluminum intergalactic tunnel, durability wise. If any high speed dust damaged it, it could make an area of intergalactic space far more populated with particles than it would have been otherwise, right? I'm no expert, but it seems like the mass and complexity cost of cleaning and maintaining that system would outweigh the benefits compared to our usual laser highway systems. Also, just wanted to say how much I love watching a channel where we use phrases like "interstellar laser highway" on a regular basis:)
Imagine moving a whole bunch of red dwarfs with your stellar engine of choice, and using them plus tons of relay stations to setup the ultimate laser highway between galactic regions. Very well might wind up with billions of people living at each "way station", acting as ports of call on the long trip between galaxies, as well as homes for those that want to live in a more "rural" environment. Congrats on the role there as well!
Another thought-provoking episode, thanks for that. Also, huge congratulations on your new role! Hope it goes well. I know you'll be a huge asset for them.
God I love this channel lol, nowhere else will you find someone casually discussing the pros and cons of building tunnels through space light years long while also calculating the weight of the materials needed hahaha. Fantastic stuff, please never stop!
Magnificent. Congratulations on your election. The coming episodes are exciting and I may consider joining the NSS, and Nebula. I hope everyone has a great day.
Fantastic video! Amazingly comprehensive look at our local environment - though I personally love thinking of the Sombrero galaxy as the next level of waypoint, so I was disappointed that you didn't go one more intermediate level out before the supercluster. Thanks so much for this and all your other videos 🍻
This channel goes great with Fraser Cain. Arthur is imaginative and inspiring while cain is pragmatic and informative. They go together like a drink and a snack.
I love the videos with massive scales like this one! They really give you a lot to think about, and they challenge you to try to comprehend space on scales we never had before a century ago. Also congrats on your appointment!
They're my favorite. I love the idea that in some galaxy, possibly outside our observable universe, there are giant advanced civilizations like this. We'll never even know they exist but it's cool to imagine what beings, lives, and civilizations could be active right now.
Piers Anthony's _Macroscope_ (the ambitious novel that didn't sell) has a peaceful galaxy with an information economy based on ftl communication becoming a warlike galaxy when ftl travel is discovered.
Thank you for your videos, they are the only things that keep me from having complete nervous breakdown. you seem to be the only person to have quite a lot of hope for the future.
Total respect, Brother !!! (Except for anything related to Mars, a total waste of time and resources, even training and science). I subscribe top-level, like, share to text and posted this! Keep it up! I love your work!
This subject always fascinated me, loved the episode! Have a few questions: How easy would it be or difficult for an intergalactic fleet to change course or turn back. Say they get some sort of indication as you note that the galaxy they are going too is no longer available, or they get some indication(though perhaps not plausible with light lag) of a catastrophe or crisis back home. Can you change direction or turn back? If so, how would that be done?
Hard to turn unless they encounter something they can refuel on, in which case they can break and refuel there and even if that involved centuries of building mining gear and power collectors it would still be a drop in the bucket on a multi-million year journey
@@isaacarthurSFIA At the same time, turning back to address a 'crisis' or change back home would likely be meaningless, as they wouldn't even return until geologic and evolutionary timespans had passed. Whatever was the situation, it has drastically changed since then.
Congratulations, Isaac! And thank you for your channel. Your content has always provided me with ideas and inspiration for my personal sci-fy writing. I don't publish or at least yet. But if I ever do, you will certainly get credit. Even today's episode gave me a good idea.
My god we are so alone and the universe is so unimaginably vast and the depth of time so infinitely deep. 2 million years journey. Imagine a thousand years. Now imagine a thousand of those. And double that. Words can’t express the sense of eternal insanity that entails.
With the potential of the future, I wonder if some civilization millions if not billions of the years in the future will build a, idk, gigastructure not around a star, but around an entire galaxy. I remember that the Nicoll-Dyson megastructure could move a star by reflecting the light in one direction. I wonder if this gigastructure could move an entire galaxy, therefore turning the intergalactic voyage from a "Go from Galaxy A to Galaxy B", to "Move Galaxy A to Galaxy B / Move Galaxy A and Galaxy B closer"
Dude huge huge huge congrats. You’re videos are amazing; realistic but also willing to think outside the box. Can’t wait to see what you can accomplish in the future 👊🏾
I would have never in a million years guessed that Saturn had enough material in it to make a pipe stretching from the Milky Way to Andromeda. That's nuts!
ALL HAIL our Starship Captain and Intergalactic President, Sir Isaac! Long Live El Presidente! Proof that meritocracy isn't completely dead! Congratulations, sir!
You've talked of distant futures in which we digitize human minds and then can "clock" those minds at whatever speeds our energy needs would allow. That seems like a useful thing to have in one of these intergalactic journeys of millions of years, since you could have a large population of uploaded minds, and most of them would be "clocked" to experience the entire trip as if it were only a few weeks or months at most. Then they would take shifts in which several of them were clocked at a perspective that would view a year as a minute, and one or two more would be on a shift in which they view a year as taking a day, perhaps, so that they could respond )relatively_ quickly to an emergency and clock themselves up to a realtime speed (or faster) to handle the problem, and then the other shifts could catch up as their perceptions allowed them to notice the alerts. If all goes well, nobody would perceive an unreasonable amount of time spent in transit, no more than sailors of old doing global trips, but there would always be at least a few people working as close to real time as would be needed to respond to emergencies.
That time dialation you talk about what equation are you using for the one I found says time dialation becomes relevant at 97 and above at 1 to 3 second extra? Trying to learn and compare.
I love that you mentioned that Earth and the Sol System are most likely to remain the center of a human galactic empire. Mainly because I am reading The Expanse right now and am at the part where Earth and Sol have been booted out of its position of center of the human civilisation and replaced with a new colony called Lakonia, but the Head of State had to play a very long game to systematically destabilise Earth and then later Sol's hold over the empire. First he starts a war between the main factions in the Sol system and makes the Belt toss a bunch of meteors at Earth to screw up its climate and weaken its position as control of the Sol system. He then flees for a new system where they found alien ship building platforms and fortifies the new system again people from other systems coming in. They spend 30 years building up a massive force with technology far beyond any other human system, then destroy the control of every local government in the 1300 systems humans live in and make them all join the Lakonian Empire with Lakonia as its center; he even forces all Universities, Unions, and Guilds move their HQs to Lakonia to keep all officials under his thumb and with in arms reach when he needs a puppet.
@@shubhamkumar6689 Sadly they cancelled the show. We aren't getting anything further; but in terms of the books Earth falls as the leader of humanity after the belt starts tossing rocks at them, the trade union becomes the new de facto government over humanity in all 1300 systems over a couple decades between Lakonia isolating and coming in to take over. Avasarala is long retired when Lakonia attacks and the UN and Earth have very little power, Holden is in his late 50's and has just been a errand boy for the trade union. It is actually both Avasarala and Holden that tell Drummer who is head of the trade union during the invasion to surrender to save Sol System and Holden ends up surrendering himself to Lakonia since he knows what is going on with the aliens that killed the gate builders and are now coming after humans. The final 2 books pick up 5 years after Sol surrenders at Avasurela's funeral on Lakonia where Holden and Avasurela had been political prisoners with free range of Lakonia and the Lakonian head of state pretending making them look like they were honoured transplants and advisors from the Sol system. The final epilogue was AMAZING though since not only does it tie up a lot of loose ends; it goes 1000 years into the future from the final events to give you a glimpse of what has become of Sol System as a result of everything that happened with the Protomolecule.
@@CartoonHero1986 Wow! I wouldn't have predicted that. Story is amazing. I would love to see a happy ending of 'The Expanse' because it was one of my favourite shows. One of the writer and Amos are on TH-cam, 'Ty and that guy' is the name of the channel. I think they'll make one more season in future.
@@shubhamkumar6689 I mean... the ending of the books isn't exactly a "happy ending" so much as it is a satisfying one that ends the story well and all the main characters accept and are for the most part at peace with... but it still ends in a lot of deaths in terms of named characters and humanity in general, but it could have ended in extinction or something far creepier.
Glad for another upload. Isaac you've become one of my most watched youtube channels as of late. I love knowledge and your channel is an excellent think-tank. I often wonder if Intergalactic travel would be considered a near impossibility to even an already established galactic civilization. Or if it would even be worth it. The universe is homogeneous so another galaxy would have a bunch of the same stuff, just more. Even one galaxy is so immense its difficult to imagine running out of "stuff".
The way I like to think of the speed of light is not as the maximum amount of speed but as the minimum amount of slowness. "Moving at the speed of light" is the default state of existence--it is your zero--and adding mass to things slows them down. That may not be technically accurate but it helps me conceptualize it
22:30 Would Unity be the size of Earth with a thick crust for protection, gravity to regain lost debris into the crust, and people on the inner surface? Keep your energy source balanced in the center and watch out for three orbit problems coming up to spoil your day.
I love the idea of saying “screw you cosmic inflation” and building billions of stellar engines to move all the galaxies back towards us. The jokes write themselves, because it’s such a comical idea (even if it is fully possible and potentially desirable)

@@shubhamkumar6689 I mean... the ending of the books isn't exactly a "happy ending" so much as it is a satisfying one that ends the story well and all the main characters accept and are for the most part at peace with... but it still ends in a lot of deaths in terms of named characters and humanity in general, but it could have ended in extinction or something far creepier.
@@CartoonHero1986 satisfying end is better than extinction of humanity, so I'll take it. Lol
Ooooh! I'm gonna need some popcorn!
Wow! Congratulations!!

Congratulations on your new role with the NSS - We could all use your optimistic take on the future..
You are most worthy of all that comes your way! Thank You so much for the content and Congratulations-P@
Glad for another upload. Isaac you've become one of my most watched youtube channels as of late. I love knowledge and your channel is an excellent think-tank. I often wonder if Intergalactic travel would be considered a near impossibility to even an already established galactic civilization. Or if it would even be worth it. The universe is homogeneous so another galaxy would have a bunch of the same stuff, just more. Even one galaxy is so immense its difficult to imagine running out of "stuff".
The way I like to think of the speed of light is not as the maximum amount of speed but as the minimum amount of slowness. "Moving at the speed of light" is the default state of existence--it is your zero--and adding mass to things slows them down. That may not be technically accurate but it helps me conceptualize it
22:30 Would Unity be the size of Earth with a thick crust for protection, gravity to regain lost debris into the crust, and people on the inner surface? Keep your energy source balanced in the center and watch out for three orbit problems coming up to spoil your day.
I have not nor will I EVER "grab a drink and a snack" before watching your episodes!!
I love the idea of saying “screw you cosmic inflation” and building billions of stellar engines to move all the galaxies back towards us. The jokes write themselves, because it’s such a comical idea (even if it is fully possible and potentially desirable)
“We’ll take the entire galaxy, AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!”
“I’M TURNING THIS GALAXY AROUND. THAT’S IT, BACK TO THE LOCAL GROUP.”
