I like space. There's plenty of it between my ears.
Nice😂
😂😂😂😂 I got that almost right away. Are you implying that you’re dumb?
Between your atoms
It's amazing to think we all exist between your ears 😮
There's plenty of it between my asscheeks
There’s something about space that screams, “you’re not supposed to be here,” it’s like breaking out of bounds in a video game, a pitch black void that expands infinitely in every which direction, with no end in sight.
There are many such places right here on Earth, yet we go there anyway. If we didn't, we'd be nowhere as a species, still living in caves, amounting to nothing.
We can't even get there. 😂
@@Iconhulk?
its like if a developper tried to make earth but failed, and failed again until he achieved it, and the developper, put his mistakes very far away so that the players could never find them, but we somewhat found them, idk how to correctly explain it
And im suck here worrying about money, being loved, and being respected thinking about space all of these seem to mean nothing not even a bit im literally sitting questioning myself wtf is this universe
What if you woke up in the middle of the night and Jupiter is just standing in the corner of your room watching you?
Well depending on the size of the planet it would A suck up earth and you would die or B if it was condenset then it would turn into a black who which would kill you as well
The Blame manga has a room the size of Jupiter.
Sounds lovely
@@Yadid1nothing compared to the backrooms
I’d invite to lay down with me😏
Thank goodness we are not floating in the middle of space, right guys?
Bad news
Oh boy.. pull up a chair buddy.
ok well…so you see…
Well, we’re resting on an object floating in the middle of space, so technically we’re not the ones floating !
midnight i'll tell you
the worst part for me is the fact everything is so far from each other and it goes on forever. an endless void of darkness
It's not like you're going to be drifting off into space
Your just going to need a faster vehicle
@@gallaxseizor9216kid named 299,792,458 m/s universal speed limit (it takes light 4 years to travel from our closest neighboring star alpha centauri to our eyes, and ≈2.5 million years for the light from the andromeda galaxy to hypothetically (we cannot actually see it) reach our eyes, and light travels at that speed limit):
imagine what if from this dark void coming a planet sizes like entire Milky way, that's would be terrifying
exactly. i might comment my view on this later, honestly.
put simply, if humans wanted to travel to our neighboring solar system, we would have to have hundreds of people on a huge superstructure spaceship that could support multiple generations of people. because it would take generations upon generations to get there. the ampunt of nothing that is in space is the only reason it scares me so much, personally.
Pro Tip: If you use less frightening music, space becomes a lot less scary.
ikr
Space is still terrifying without “frightening music”
exactly

Ouch
My wife: look how beautiful the night sky is.
Me: experiencing cosmic horror.
I sometimes get the same creepy feeling looking at the stars as I do looking into deep water.
same !!
Because you are
Same, except astrophobia is much more relevant to me because the night sky is present every night. It feels like the fear of hight but multiplied by infinity.
It’s your mortality
Me too.
i grew up absolutely obsessed with space, yet only now do i realize just how thin the line between beautiful and terrifying is when it comes to the vast cosmos
I remember also being obsessed af with it. Now 10 years later i got no passions left ☠
It is very beautiful.
Most of reality is like that. Think about it, the same body part that houses your central nervous system is the same part that houses teeth.
@@Coppermeshman That was quite the wild thought.
"The great attractor intensifies" (the great attractor has some Lovecraftin horror power)
I've never been afraid of space. It's too awe-inspiring, too incomprehensible, to beautiful to be afraid of.
I One-Hundred Percent agree with you
It sends shivers down my spine just looking at it
As long as you stay within a safe distance it's fine lol
same
Beautiful is a VERY STRONG word for the never ending void that is space 💀
The thing that worries me the most are rogue planets or even worse rogue black holes. The thought of a rogue stellar mass black hole entering the solar system is pretty horrifying. It would completely invisible and undetectable until before we knew it we would be ripped out of our stable orbit around the sun and ejected into deep space or spaghettified by the tidal forces.
Maybe it already has. A tiny rogue black hole might get pulled into the biggest gravity well of Jupiter rather than the Sun. Maybe that's what the Big Red Spot is. A huge accretion disc around the black hole as it sucks into the supergiant's gases.

We're either alone in the universe or we aren't. Both possibilities are terrifying
Think about it life is an accident, we humans, or life itself weren't even meant to exist here on earth, This planet collided with a Mars-like planet. That is why our planet got just the right size for life. We're a frickin accident. space is probably supposed to be empty. It's scary
Eh, not really. I think if we have cosmic neighbors that'd be cool.
@dt_grey4521 Untill you realize they may not be what you were hoping for
@@l.d.r6653 Well what would they do? Enslave humanity? If they're advanced enough to be starfaring they'd probably have robots and shit. Logically speaking at worst they wouldn't care about us, "oh y'all made it to your moon? Cool, well we're heading to Andromeda so see ya."
@dt_grey4521 we'd probably enslave them tbh :(
When I was a little kid I actually experienced the opposite of astrophobia. I grew up on a farm, and thus had an excellent view of the night sky due to less light pollution, and when I would look up at the stars and the Milky Way overhead, I felt an odd sense of comfort: here am I, a human, on this beautiful planet, able to admire such a magnificent view from our little corner of the universe; looking up at the same moon and same stars that my ancestors all the way back gazed up at. It was like a sense of oneness, with the cosmos and humanity, across time and space.
Same, you put this beautifully
The waking universe looking back on itself
i think like that too,, but when i imagine being up there, i realize that id just be in a black void, and that id never see anything im familiar with ever again
basically hte size scares me and screams "you're nomt supposed to be here"
Damn I’ve never thought about it like that
Im so jealous. I’ve lived in big cities all my life and I’ve never seen the stars. The idea of looking up and seeing thousands of stars at night is kind of terrifying
He's like: "gas planets are scary 😨"
Me: **those are some big balls 🗿**
Thats Gay
sound’s gay asf
can we say how hard the "sorry pluto" feels.
Pluto's not a planet. Still pretty cool though 😞✊
I think one of the scariest things in space is the pulsar that spins at 25% of the speed of light, it’s just so hard to imagine something as massive as a star moving that fast
Not to mention the life zapping emissions
To be fair, Pulsars are only 10 kilometers in diameter (in average).
Still, it's a 10 kilometer sized ball with over the mass of the whole Sun with it's interiors made of pure Neutrons.
@@choosetolivefreecancer lighthouse
When you think about how that pulsar is formed, aka a supernova, the energy released from that explosion, it’s not hard to imagine it spinning that fast.
@@davisdf3064I think OP was talking about the mass of pulsars not the diameter, hence "massive"
When you stare up at the sky, your gaze likely goes on for millions of light years. When you look up at the sky, you could be looking at a planet or star which is inconceivably far away. It makes me feel so tiny, thinking of what I could be looking at.
And yet you are the only thing in this planet that can comprehend such a beautiful existence
Also, because some celestial bodies are really far away, you see their appearance in the past and not in the present because light simply doesn't move that fast
@@volly9387 the fact that's even a thing is just beyond comprehension
@@farfrommercury looking at a star like arcturus, you are looking roughly 35 years in the past. take that in for a moment
Space is a huge comfort to me. F in the chat for all the people with Astrophobia
I don't know how, it is quite literally, simultaneously completely empty and entirely full. All of reality is paradoxical in every aspect.
Slipping from a space station and drifting off into space was a common nightmare of mine growing up.
I had a recent- ish nightmare where earth had 5 minutes of oxygen left and I realised there was no where to go or hide as I was trying to gather my friends and family. I like nightmares because waking up from them is the best feeling. I also sometimes enjoy the thrill when I’m having one. Zombie dreams are actually fun for me.

@@AhDollar …
the size of the universe is what scares me the most. it's truly incomprehensible
Magnetars scare me the most!
Same, but I wonder why that is. Why is that notion so deeply terrifying? I don't have an answer for that
@@charlief3169 my guess is that we as people just feel better knowing things have an answer or an end in sight in some way, but space is one big endless mystery; literally and metaphorically
@@floristfindspeace oh definitely, I just wonder why that is. I suppose it's as simple as unknown = terrifying possibilities, but why is it that our minds go to terrifying when faced with unknown limits? Why do humans associate mostly anything unknown with something bad?
I sometimes feel dizzy just watching space size documentaries.
the thought of just spawning on that ocean planet not knowing what lerks below oh my god i’m going to cry
This is the one phobia that I literally cannot relate to. I find the cosmos too beautiful (despite its violence) to be afraid of it actually.
The ocean planet scares me so much just trying to imagine the depths makes me shudder
Really? For me it would be drifting into deep space.
@@TheRedRaven_ they are both equally terrifying to me. the worst is i love space exploration games like no mans sky but i always get deep scare and anxiety when i get into a planet and its all just water and dark, i get the same when approaching a planet
@@TheRedRaven_luckily that isn’t really possible unless you deliberately try to do that
So you got thassalophobia, fear of deep ocean.

The scariest thing in the universe for me is never learning what the scariest thing in the universe is.
quasi stars are pretty scary
@@bigcooltony437still probably not scarier than the scariest thing
Well said
@@bigcooltony437personally for me, it’s the fact that we will truly never know what the actual purpose for the universe is, or how it even appeared, That’ll only remain a mystery forever.
It’s black holes. Easily. Black holes literally stretch you like spaghetti, and crush you into nothing with the force of literal suns at the same time, while sucking you into an abyss unknown of this universe.
When I was young I loved space, I loved talking about it, thinking about it, and even learning more things about space. When I learned new stuff it made me love it even more but the feeling of being stuck in space always made my heart sink. You're stuck in a void of nothing everywhere around you is black there's no sounds there's no one there with you. It's just you and nothing.
yet miraculously enough, you’re still HERE; amongst the cosmos, floating amongst the stars on your own little blue and green spaceship, where all you have ever loved and have ever know co-exists with you
Ocean planets really scare me too. There could be life down there… but there’s always a bigger fish
W Star Wars quote
Dude, I get so antsy about looking through a telescope whenever I have it pointed at the moon. It’s just something about the sudden shock of having my vision entirely engulfed in some impossibly large celestial body that freaks me out.

I remember when I was a kid I saw Saturn through a telescope and I started crying. It absolutely terrified me.
I love space and own a telescope and I find it fascinating to look at planets through it but there’s always this uneasy anticipation when I actually have to look through the telescope to try to find it. just looking through the black of space and suddenly, boom, a whole planet
saturn is honestly so alien
If there is evidence of alien life in our solar system I believe it's there or Uranus or Neptune due to the fact they are so odd

The most scary part for me is imagining the creatures in the oceans of the exoplanets thousand miles deep ( I am sure they exist somewhere). Imagine you just spawn there in a dark ocean.
Yes they do as mathematically the chances of life beyond Earth is pretty much 100% and there’s a good change life grew to be small city sized on some ocean worlds
@@JJGarcia2300proof?
nigga said mathematically 🤣🤣🤣@@JJGarcia2300
In December NASA offered to add names to a probe that is headed to one of Jupiter's moons. At first I thought, "Cool! Sign me up!" Then I thought, what if there are creatures in the oceans under the ice? I don't need them to have my name on a list of people who poked them.
I once had a nightmare where I was in the middle of space all alone and without a ship. It was just me in a suit floating and drifting. I was scared the entire time, I felt my heart racing constantly. And it only got worse when I realized that I was slowly succumbing to the gravitational pull of a planet that I did not notice was right in front of me. I didn’t notice there was a planet because it was only a wall of black until I saw light cast a silhouette. my nightmare just ended with me going closer and closer to the planet
Nice one. I still have a ship. But with some secret cargo..
you’re lucky. I don’t recall having ANY dreams for many years now…
Yours is Really Close to a astronomers dream,Forgot where I Heard this but I remembered when I read your comment,I’ll just Put the End because it’s different.
“ eventually, after what felt like Hours I was in The darkness, I saw a blue dot slowly getting bigger, barely at first,But The closer I got,The faster it Seemed to pull me in, until eventually I could make out that the thing that I was approaching Looked like the Neptune, but with a combination of Jupiters Great red Spot re-colored to blue,And astroids Swarming around.
Eventually,Looking forward was just looking at Blue, Even looking behind me would just result in blue, I could feel it getting colder,Colder and colder. until the cold over wrote every single feeling, and eventually I looked down,And I was nearing closer to a floor, just before I could hit it,I woke up, Who knows what would’ve happened if I hit that… thing.”
Nice short story, you should write scifi 👍
You felt anxious and powerless in your life.
Your brain interpreted it that way.
With this sort of video editing, you could make "Puppies", "Babies" and "Butterflies" as your sequels of terrifying things.
Ik
i mean they are.. terrifiying💀
What does this comment even mean
Don't forget the creepy ambient music 😁
Or he can do a totally different thing and make others planets appearing wonderful and impressive, with camparisons and all that shit (wow this one has got the most high temperature, sick dude! This one has got the most violent wind in the entire solar system, can you believe it?) But the point of view he is showing there is maybe just really his own thought, so it doesnt really make sense to accuse the video editing, you can do a terrifying / exciting video editing on any subject, depending on what you think about it (sorry for my english I do not master that language at all and I didnt even used google translate to help a bit but you got the idea ^^ )
I remember a kid in middle school was talking about how scary it would be to drift away into space, like if you drifted away from a space station or ship and then just kept going into nothing as nothing stops you, while earth and everything and everyone you know gets smaller and smaller. Even after you die, you drift until probably infinity.
I still think about that from time to time. Literally just every now and then pops up in my head for no reason since like 8th grade.
Your overall presentation, along with the music and editing, gave me the creeps!
The storms and the cold in antarctica or deep ocean are the closest to extraterrestrial experience on Earth I can think of, and yet they don't come even close.
It's really terrifying to know how tiny our habitable zone is.
What makes these gas giants even scarier is that they’re not alive. I mean obviously they’re not but when you think about it, the fact that they can cause this much dread and damage while being completely unaware about it is pretty eerie.
dang
Like a tornado etc? So destructive yet unaware and unable to choose to carry on or stop
@@suffocation6uw Shrug. Life was created from nonliving objects. One day it just..activated.

Nah bro Jupiter is a total bro, sucks up all da asteroids that could collide with us and wipe out civilization and holds them in its gravitational pull. If it didnt exist we wouldnt either,
What most people find terrifying about space, I find incredibly fascinating. To me, amount of concepts our human brains can’t even comprehend is the closest thing we have to magic here on earth.

The terrifying thing abt space is that earth is so homey and filled with life that you sometimes forget that space is a dark, dangerous, hostile, dangerous and overpowering place with literally no other planets with life (yet), and we're somehow still alive and have been alive for years, yet we could be wiped out (and technically already have been considering the dinosuars)
earth is homey in a lot of places but humans still can't survive in more places on earth than humans can survive! and there have been many mass extinctions in Earth's history, ones far worse than the dinosaurs (the worst one imo is the Permian extinction) people don't think existentially enough
How do you know there's no other life out there?
The probability of that is very low
@@Rodiroess you missed the "(yet)" part.
@@Rodiroess you could say the probability of having life out there is low as well
@@Brabbs I read that, ur still implying there currently isn't any other life. Why?
This has to be one of the best videos ever made. No joke. I love the way you described how scary gas giants are. You said it in a kind of poetry that got me feeling the exact same way about these other-worldly realms. keep up the good work! :D
I feel you. Space always fascinated me as well as scaring the sh*t out of me when I really think about the actual depth of space. Amongst all sorts of stuff happening in the universe
Was really hoping that rogue planets would be here. Planets that don't have a star (which is caused by them being ejected from their parent star due to specific phenomenons like supernovas) and are just mindlessly floating through dark, empty space hoping to see another glimmer of light.
me with my relationships / life in general
As a matter of fact, results from the JWST observations have led to the generalization that rogue planets might be the rule rather than an exception regarding the orbital status of planets in general. Our solar system with its sun with its 8 + 1 planets in orbit around it appears to be a rare occurrence among stars. Although our solar system is scary enough already, we should be thankful to live in the light of a bright star. Of course, life wouldn't be possible without the ☀️. Still, try to imagine the timeline of living on a rogue planet in total, permanent darkness at temperatures near absolute zero. Now, that I find the scariest. Pitch black darkness (unless one brings its own batteries and lighting system 😁) - brrrr.... The sky would slowly change permanently year after year. Some people might be terrorized at the (extremely fictional) prospect of living on a rogue planet and not knowing whether their 'homeland' might be captured by a giant star, or worse, a black hole in the ± distant future !! Fortunately, that prospect is extremely unlikely given the vast emptiness of the universe (relatively speaking). The probability of a rogue planet getting captured or hitting (😱) a star or a giant planet is very remote. One may compare this with the very small probability of "hitting" an atom's nucleus by bombarding it with neutrons because of the extremely small size of the nucleus relative to the volume of an atom.
BTW, go see 'Oppenheimer', which presents this problem that faced the Manhattan Project's scientists who were trying to trigger a chain reaction by bombarding atoms of plutonium. One of the many problems they were faced with during that absolutely extraordinary technological marathon of death....
@@raminagrobis6112 damn thanks for that info bro. did not know that rougue planets could be more common than planets in star systems.
@raminagrobis6112 interestingly, if it wasn't for saturn our solar system would probably be more similar to any other ones. Jupiter in the early solar system would've drifted towards the sun, thereby swallowing Mars, earth, venus and maybe mercury. But due to the formation of saturn it pulled on Jupiter enough to keep it where it is
Honestly. Yeah, I wish I included them, too. Probably the most existential thing to exist in our universe are rogue planets. Especially the rogue planets that have achieved intergalactic status. Could you imagine being a living creature on a planet outside of a galaxy in the middle of intergalactic space? Jesus. That'd be a lonely existence
no matter how scary you try to make it sound, i still see beauty. space makes me excited. it's so beautiful.
I completely agree it so beautiful but I can help but be unsettled when I'm outside of a gad giant star or black hole in a game like (magaton rainfall)
It's literally gorgeous.

Cuando era pequeño fue igual, los coloreaba a detalle y me gustaba saber el nombre de varias de sus lunas
Una noche simplemente ocurrio, veia a los planetas y sentia miedo de lo inhospito y hostil que puede ser el universo con la vida, especialmente con las imagenes de jupiter y saturno tomadas de un satelite que supe porque tenia miedo
Fuera de la altura es la cantidad de detalle, es como el miedo a la oscuridad pues nunca puedes ver que hay abajo y eso te hace pensar en monstruos y cosas asi
Sigue siendo bello pero te hace sentir insignificante
I'm on both sides. I do think it's beautiful but I also agree that it is very terrifying
Man… this video, the script, the music, the illustration. It’s all perfect. Beautiful job well done
I rarely listen to podcast or watch such videos but I want to know more about space (i have very little knowledge about it) so I'm giving few of these a chance and yours is exquisite. Not something for the beginner maybe but the way you're using language and how interesting your story telling is really caught my attention. I don't think I will find anything similar to you video in quite some time. Thank you!
It’s crazy how something like this exist and the fact it never ends
It does end, but it keeps growing and that’s the frightening part. Once it fully grows, what will happen.
Two words: Big Crunch
The universe is going to come to an end in quadrillion years or even more. We’re not even 10% of the way to the end of the universe tho
@@trimreek5836 even then it's all theories, good theories but still theories at the end of the day.
You are literally in space yet you erroneously think of it as something separate from earth.
it does have and ending, thats where multiverse came in. multiverse is even bigger. Remember time is relative in the universe, every minute there is a universe destroyed and a new one forming. gone with the old in with the new. Our universe is going to end one day and from the ashes of our universe there will be a new one, and we will all be forgotten.
It’s weird to me how comfortable I am with space. I think it’s just beautiful. The way he describes his fear and discomfort of it is how I feel about the ocean which is my opinion is much more terrifying.
Same!
I'm the complete opposite. I adore the sea, but find space horrifying
Saturn looks scary and dark it mesmerized me
Kind of like heights for me - at a certain point I stop being afraid of the height. It’s derealisation - it becomes surreal the higher you go. Maybe your fear of the ocean is like that - it’s real and close and just fathomable enough to imagine what lurks beneath vs. space which is surreal and far and unknowable
Space is definitely the scariest thing in the world, but it’s also the opposite at the same time.
When you listen to information about the filaments, and the clusters and the groups, it really makes me think that all all our known universe has to be part of some larger structure, like some gigantic larger than our universe molecule. We’re just the subatomic particles of some other greater thing.
I often think something similar tbh
@@elmosanchez I mean when we see how fractals work it makes me wonder if we’re not part of something similar. Lol sounds silly to say, but maybe we just haven’t see the “bigger picture”. Loved the vid. This kinda stuff always prickles my fancy
I used to lay on the grass looking up at the sky, and become almost dizzy and sickened at the thought of gravity suddenly reversing and me falling into the sky. I still get that feeling sometimes if I look up at the sky for too long without anything on the ground in my sight.
I always had a blend of anxiety and fascination at the same time for space for as long as I can remember

@@G.A.M.E. nope what? we are part of this universe such as anything else
@@G.A.M.E. u will have to explain further, than just stating research a little quantum physics, since u would have no odds of knowing whether i’ve tried to do that or not. the “sense” u are talking about would be subjective. some understanding of the universe would go further than consciousness, that is the emptiness in both buddhism so in quantum physics. i have no clue about what “sense” u are making, when I take the “I” in me, and throw it away, i would simply be as much as anything else. that is the study of various spiritual and enlightening teachings. so the arrogance in u almost taking a shit, of what u réfère to as “me” and my sense of this, would directly make u underlining the sense of nothingness itself. so what exactly is u implying, when u undermine the very common saying that i brought up. that is my question for u. my statement was merely objective. u wouldn’t like to know what i would believe. as that would not be proven with ur physics. or would it?
also the “u” i was describing in the first statement, was referring to the illusion of u. or what?
@@G.A.M.E. have a good day:)
@@G.A.M.E. wow wow wow genius😂 sorry to have taken ur valuable time with my personal attack and the woo woo and the bad grammar😁
i wasn’t even really saying anything at all. that would be the point. u understand the physics and clearly the abstract boundaries. that was why i was asking u to explain further. myself i don’t comment on youtube often. and i don’t care about this grammar thing this is a youtube comment.
this wasn’t a discussion on meaning of life neither anything else. only u implying that u know the truth, something man should never do. as we are kneelers to this cosmos so to speak.
so the arrogance was never on me my friend. or was it. i don’t know. i hate when these comments ends like this. when one part clearly show that they think they are the better knowing person. that is always le dic move.
i’m sorry if i called u arrogant. not my point. but clearly something bigger. i put the blâme away, not me at fault.
i would admire u the wondering, but not telling right from wrong. since that is no man’s job. that would also imply i myself is falling for desires, and failing the buddhist way. i will admit that. but failure is an option periodically.
now sir or what ever i seriously mean have a GREAT day. no negative points intended!

@@elmosanchezwtf 💀
@@elmosanchez do it with lemons
Watch the first MIB movie@@elmosanchez
Nice! The terrifying thing about that is if all the planets are really just atoms to, say, a hangnail of a dude in a much bigger world,
that dude could smash his hangnail, or burn it, and we all go haywire in our own cosmic universe the way atoms would.
@elmosanchez Ah ha haa haa ! :D
As a Brazilian, I’m just glad Uranus is simply called Urano in Portuguese, I laugh every time I think about the English name of the planet, a planet that actually I think is pretty neat
Very entertaining and funny! Glad I found this channel!
Astrophysics student here: I never thought about how what I love about space could be exactly what people find terrifying. 😅
Off topic question but how similar is astrophysics to astronomy? I want to be and astronomer and I’m entering high school and want to know what classes to take
@@hpwizzleastronomy is just the study of planets and names nomenclature, etc. Astrophysics (my old major) is the mathematical and physics side of studying science. It's essentially 90% math and physics and 10% astronomy (names, locations, facts, etc). So Astrophysics is much harder
@@hpwizzle like fredthemanish said, astrophysics is the physics of space and very math heavy. There’s tons of coding and can be very overwhelming. Whereas astronomy is just the “basics” of space. Such as principles, names, build of planets, etc. I took astronomy in hs and I loved the class and found it simple. I don’t know what the class is going to be like at your school but I would recommend taking astronomy if you have any interest in space.
Some of us find it to be both in equal portions.
@@Julianna_05what jobs would you use that study for?
Narrator: "Uranus hosts a large gaseous atmosphere and intense wind speeds."
Me: It sure does 🌯
Lmao
im impressed how funny you made an old joke
Words cannot express how entirely tired of you people I am...
@@bentonrpWhat do you mean by "you people"? 😂
@@darksu6947 Lol.
Very compelling video, dingdong. Great job of narration.
I've never met anyone else with these thoughts. You described your feelings very well. I feel seen. 😊
Biggest takeaway from this is protect our planet at all costs, because inhospitable doesn't even begin to describe any other place out there.
mars could be good with enough terraforming *maybe* but i think the magnetosphere or whatever is too weak
@@sylv256 It would take a LONG time to make Mars able to support life but how lucky we are that their is a planet right next to Earth suitable to practice terraforming on. It's the first step for us to start branching out into space
@@sylv256 Terraforming Mars is definitely doable, and there are other options too, like an Elysium-type megastructure. So that's the good news. But it will be difficult and slow. And there are massive hurdles still that we need to overcome, like deadly radiation and weaker gravity. And this is like the best we've got.
@@MartinStaykov Venus is a candidate for terraforming too. It is even easier with it.
@@engineergaming8619 yes Venus is another option. We could even engineer sky cities there that would float in the clouds.
I think space is awesome in all the senses of the word, and so beautiful.
That said, I also have a love for horror, and you have a great way of laying out a setting of dread! Lovecraftian, even.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been interested in space and the solar system since I was 3. Watching this video made me happy.
The sheer thought of oceanic planets with oceans so deep one could reach its very core OBLITERATES me with primal fear
Maybe I'm dumb but I just don't understand how that could be so scary.
@@sfs284your not dumb your just not afraid. People just have different fears
@@sfs284 I think it's mainly the fear of the unknown. For me what I find particularly terrifying about ocean planets with oceans so deep is the unimaginable creatures that might live there, specially in a planet in which we would not have solid earth to protect ourselves from such creatures.
I find the idea of exploring deep waters in our own planet scary enough already, imagine that being in a completely different world
@@MrZuchiS I agree, the mystery surrounding the kind of life that might exist in these planets is a bit unnerving. Although the way I see it, the chances of me ending up there are almost certainly zero, so even if all those fearsome creatures do exist, it's not for me to worry about lol. I'm gonna live and die on this one anyway.
It’s a combination of thalassophobia and astrophobia… thalastrophobia? Xd
As an astronomy teacher, I'm saddened I can only click the Like button once. Absolutely loved this.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the like
I thought your comment read you can only lick the like button once😅
I mean, you COULD click it as many times as youd like 😂
I wish I had an astronomy teacher in highschool, my school only had physics and chemistry
Make alt accounts
Nice touch with halo 1s ending music, this video was amazing.
The beautifully terrifying mystery we live in that we call space is impossible. Yet we can see it, live in it, and hypothesize what is inside of it. Life is unknown as to why it exists, and so we are stuck here to ponder things around us. Perhaps we are a science project to a greater being and will eventually be turned in to be graded. Like a giant space aquarium.
Damn space you scary!
I've always been terrified of space. This video matches how i feel the best compared to other videos on TH-cam. Everyone else is so happy and curious, lacks the realistic sense of doom
all this honestly sounds more mesmerizing and mystical than terrifying to me
Same, I get the point the video is making but these planets aren’t going to cause harm to you. And you can even study how these planets and discoveries help us
Space is Not Your Friend. It's most of The Universe and right here. Running out of is scary, that's your best death. DECOMPRESSION I would not wish that on ANY Enemy. I would shoot You, My Word. Please do so for Me.
My dude, id die in space if it was an option
No, please don't say that. th-cam.com/video/QkEqS0kBiOw/w-d-xo.html @@christiansales45 Always an Option, Brother.

Ocean planets are the most terrifying for me. Imagine just teleporting to one of those and being surrounded by nothing but darkness and not knowing what’s lurking beneath on this alien world.
subnautica
real, honestly the universe is so big a real life version of that game prob exists on a planet in a far galaxy💀
Aight, that was the tipping point for me. Time for another playthrough 🤿
For some reason an oceanic planet devoid of any life is equally as terrifying to me. Just a whole planet full of nothing but rocks and deep, deep water.
Dude I think of this EXACT thought from time to time
I love this video, it reminded me of something I wrote back in Garde 7 in Natural Science. The topic was space and I had to write a paragraph on what I thought of space:
"As I look at the heavens above, its violent, incredibly unforgiving nature, I feel a sense of Wonder and amazement, what we see in our own Solar system is what we will most likely Visit, perhaps not in our lives but our Grandchildren or Great grandchildrens lives, we are the only life currently in the Galaxy, and thus we should make the most of our gift and explore what we have been given. Human nature is to expand, so I see no reason why the final frontier should be excluded from this."
That scene from interstellar with the super wave tusnami thing makes my skin crawl
I told my fiancé that Jupiter scared me and she thought that was funny. I’m glad I’m not alone in that fear lol
I watched a video about what you would see if you could fall through the layers of Jupiter in a spacesuit, and it unlocked a new fear I never thought I would have. Luckily, I don’t think I’ll ever have to worry about accidentally falling into Jupiter anytime soon.
I've never been afraid of the Cosmos. I've always been awe-inspired to the point of tears since I got my first astronomy book at age 6. We are not separate from the Universe, we're part of it. We are the Cosmos aware of itself.
Ok I'm gonna watch one last video before I sleep
The video:
The description of how it would feel like to fall into Jupiter is possibly very accurate. I was once doing an excursion, in Kerbal Space Program with BlackRack's volumetric clouds installed, into Jool's atmosphere, using a probe that I've launched. I deorbited and started falling into the thick atmosphere that slowed me down to a velocity of 30 meters per second. When the probe broke the "surface", it fell into a giant "cave", lightning flashing all around. It was amazing, it looked so unreal.
But the probe didn't stop falling there. It fell trough the "floor" of the cave and I just sat there, watching. The sun was slowly getting darker, the visibility climbing lower. This was at about 32 and a half kilometres under the "surface" of the planet. It was completely dark some time later, lightning still flashing everywhere around me. And then the probe fell into a second cave, this one much deeper.
It was terrifying.
I could see the dark, gaseous floors and walls when a lightning struck. I was in awe and in fear. I didn't expect the Volumetric Clouds mod to make Jool so different from what it is in the Vanilla game.
The probe finally imploded at somewhere around -75k. I called the mission a success, and I went to sleep. It was around 11 PM when the mission began, 2 AM when it ended.
I need this mod then. It's exactly what I was looking for when I first sent a probe out to Jool in the game and was immensely disappointed when I hit the invisible wall/ground before even getting that far into the planet.
Imagine being an astronomer in the 1300s and looking at Mars through a telescope and admiring its cold beauty, and the next day, when you look through the eyepiece, it's "Eye" is looking. Right. At. You....
There’s a manga similar to that! It’s called Hellstar Remina by Junji Ito
@@chlobotaiI searched it up and just doo dood my pants bro
@@chlobotai a fucking classic
This is actually so terrifying, sure it's unrealistic and downright fictitious but the idea of the other planets in our solar system being gigantic and alive in the biological sense sends some shivers down my spine
29:26
Bro just gave a a strong amazing and self reflecting speech I love it great video 👏🏽🙇🏽♂️
Excellent work on this! ❤
I’m glad someone else shares my irrational fear of gas giants
Speaking of gas giants
"Irrational fear" are the exact words I've been looking for when it came to this video. Not to say people can't or shouldn't fear anything, that's valid for a number of reasons.
@@siNicSiew yeah exactly
I farted I'm sorry
@@admiralrng6506it's OK. We all have butts.
My single most reoccuring nightmare (from the age of 6 to 20) is myself laying on my back, watching the ceiling open up, and the planets of the solar system rapidly (but still slow due to the distance) approaching me
That would make me piss my fucking pants
same nightmare instead of plantes it was piece of construction zone falling on me
Had the same but creepy looking mfs that I can’t explain what they look like human like creatures and they approach me fast then when they get to me I wake up
I had a nightmare where the fucking sun dropped on my pathetic mortal coil and it gone slowly, i was crying by the way
That sounds pretty funny tbh
The first picture you showed of Filaments bore an earie resemblance to brain wave scans. However, nothing in this video could even hold a candle to the sheer terror that are black holes. Just looking at them makes me shiver
6:04 I'm dying lmao
Great video, I do enjoy your thoughts on this matter.
I have Thalassophobia (fear of the deep ocean), so I can somewhat relate to the fear of space; however, it doesn’t terrify me as much as the Ocean. In the Ocean, your vision is clouded and you can’t see - whereas in Space, if you can’t see something you just know there is *nothing* there. The fear then becomes one of loneliness, or being stranded - and that has a weird sense of comfort to go along with it.
I got thatassaphobia too!
*detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you sure whatever you are doing is worth it?*
@@splaty2231*no no no no no- WAIT WAIT NONO*
-person with major thalassaphobia who refuses to touch subnautica
Yeah that’s not how space works. You might not see something but there’s so much matter in space that isn’t visible I.e black holes, sunburst , etc
It’s interesting bc space is fear of the unknown bc there’s nothing out there, whereas the ocean you can firmly be assured that you’re never ever alone in the deep ocean. Something is underneath you
Space is both beautiful and terrifying. It gets confusing if you think about it for too long.
LMAO Yes
your brain literally can't comprehend how large and empty the universe is
@@hurricane3518 Yep. That's another cool thing about space too!
That's absolutely true. The more you think about it the more it fucks with your mind
Like the Ocean
you ended off the video with words that i say to myself every day. even though its impossible, no matter what we try to do, to understand everything about our universe, at least we will always have something to strive for. because in reality, if humanity were to discover everything that can be discovered, what would we do next? theres no more questions to be answered. weve satisfies our curiosity. theres nothing more we can do than that. even if humanity doesnt die out from a mass depression of having nothing more to learn, we would still become a shell of ourselves, we could resort to materialism.
what makes humans human is our neverending curiosity. if we were to lose that then we lose our humanity. which is why its a good thing that we will never learn everything.
and thats just adding on to what you said. you explained it so perfectly
Should I be terrifying?
Space Engine, which is the best recreation of the universe we have for now, has always been very unsettling for me. It's an entirely hostile endless void where everything is completely beyond human comprehension in scale.
Agree. The black holes in space engine are terrifying to look at.
@@gabycontreras5132 and the fact that the game lets you LAND on a black hole, and watch as the world turns entirely dark is all kinds of terrifying. Bonus points if you try it in VR.
nah bro when you go into them@@gabycontreras5132
I remember i used to play gmod and whenever i used a nuke mod i would be filled with terror knowing how easy it is for ur life to be erased
The movie ad astra made me realize how lonely it is out there. When the main character was at Neptune I never felt more immersed in a space movie than that. You really felt like you were lifetimes away from earth and it actually horrified me just seeing emptiness and the mysterious blue planet.
Yea it’s one thing to say let’s explore space and another to actually be away from earth and nature.
Videos like these, are what fascinates me about the Mass Effect franchise.
I can't explain it but there's something very eerie about the space besides being absolutely terrifying due to its age and size, its like we were not supposed to look at it or into it.
shoutout to cameramen for traveling this far and giving us this footage 🐈
Fr fr
Really these kinds of comments are not funny anymore
@@djrex9200 u see cat here, what you think does it mean
I know you're joking but I wanna fr shout out Space Engine, where the footage comes from. its really impressive and cool
Old joke
Wonderful video, lad, congratulations. Great work!
space is so cool, just the thought that we’re just these little things floating about in something that is seemingly infinite. awesome.
I've never felt more alone than when I played Space Engine, which lets you fly around anywhere in space. I turned around and couldn't find the Milky Way Galaxy. That made me feel true terror lol.
Space Engine can be a truly scary experience if you play alone in a dark room. The first time I found a black hole and flew right at it at top speed on accident, I think I might have screamed haha.
I remember I played kerala space program and I was on my ship in deep space and I let go and my character just drifted away from the ship for eternity.
I was playing space engine in vr, and as i was flying through galaxies at millions of times the speed of light, I suddenly reached the edge of the universe (or at least the edge of the simulation). The entire universe was behind me and in front of me was this endless dark void. That experience terrified me.
Sometimes i dream like falling "off" from the Earth in a speed i can see planets etc moving fast and going away. This is truly terrifying. Not a dream, they are real nightmares.
@@JCNAF1997 I've had nightmares of falling off things but never Earth :O😂. That's horrifying.
i remember walking home one dark winter night, the sky was clear so some stars were visible, at first i just looked at them like dots on the sky and then it dawned on me, an uneasy feeling of how far away they actually are, and that they're not flat on our skies but somewhere light years away in their own 3d space
i still cant lay on my back in a field and look at the sky without being scared ill be sucked into the sky
It gets better (or worse) when you realize these stars may be thousands of times bigger than our own benevolent sun. Makes me feel fortunate, really, knowing all this incredible vastness exists and I get to see it and experince its awesomeness
And half of them are near the end of their lifetime
Not to mention the fact you were seeing them from what they looked like when the light left the stars, essentially looking into the past.
Dude, what a great video.
