Just fell into this rabbit hole tonight for the first time! So happy I did. I’m 71 yrs old and my learning and yearning has never ceased. Thank you professor K for this video and more to come!
I have memories of when I was a little boy when my stepfather Courtney trying to find the Christmas presents. He passed away last year, and it was strange to think of how someone that I thought would last forever, in truth, was just a warm breeze against my skin, to be washed away by the relentless passage of time. We are such an astonishing miracle, and all the more so, by the simple fact that we were not made to last. Appreciate every moment, because it took billions of years just to get here.
@@MrBendybruce :And, having had extensive experience of the next plane of existence we occupy, there is so much more to come after the body gives way to it. Always look forward with anticipation.🧐😉
I love this channel so much. I love how Prof. Kipping can lend his voice to almost any scientific topic, from planet formations to cases like this where he dips into anthropology. We're lucky to live in a time where we can learn from such incredible speakers basically for free. Thank you Mr Kipping.
I have found donating 10 a month to Cool Worlds well worth it for the content alone. They also offer several other features to donors. You should consider if you haven't already.
I’ve been trying to talk him into working for a publisher to read books on physics and other sciences. Imagine soaking in entire books of his voice .. 🥰💜
I highly doubt that. It would take something like a gigantic asteroid to annihilate all human life. Even mass atomic bombs could not kill everyone, and all it would take for a comeback would be just a few survivors. The comeback may take hundreds or thousands of years, but that is nothing compared to a billion years of sustainable conditions remaining on earth.
I love the line in Contact that says something along the lines of, “If we’re alone in an infinite universe - well, that’s an awful waste of space.” I do hope that we share this stunning vastness with other beings who look to the stars with longing, wonder, and curiosity.
I'm in the same camp. That saying that if one can dream or imagine something, then it can be realized which is the basis for all our technology. So on that same line of thinking, if the universe can make one earth, then it could make others.
Everything about this video is perfect, from the visuals to the soothing storyteller voice. But what Cool Worlds has that other channels don’t is a bonafide expert sharing his knowledge, and there’s simply no substitution for that.
@@jrothwell2 Agreed, would love hour long videos but the wait between episodes would probably be much longer if they were . This is by far my favorite channel.
That writing, that narration, that love for humanity and it's yearning for knowledge, all mixed with a double portion of existential dread. Amazing. Thank you, Dr Kipping, you are a gift.
Honestly I think Cool Worlds is the best channel I've ever been subscribed to. These videos delve so deep into the pondering thoughts I frequently have in such a profound way. Thank you Professor Kipping!
I just turned 70 this year. As curious as ever. And nothing left to prove. I bought a sports car last year. A friend’s son said, “How come it’s always old guys that have the cool cars.” My friend said, “That’s because old guys can afford them.” I said, “There’s some truth to that, but then there’s also the phuck-it factor. Now or never!” Peace and Cheers
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly you can make me go from being highly depressed or apathetic, to incredibly hopeful and inspired. I mean, that's what being human is, the ups and the downs, and so you connect with us not only through knowledge, but through us being ourselves. And for free. Amazing. Looking forward to the next, thanks for being great.
From a bipolar patient, you understand the wonders of life my friend. Don’t be conservative in your approach, enjoy life at its fullest in every state of mind. Remember; “there is no light without darkness” - M. Ordóñez
Hi Cool Worlds, as someone who's not able to afford higher education, I just wanna tell you that your videos have inspired and helped me in understanding the world so much better. Your work is incredible. Thank you so much.
Ive done a few years in a community college(doesn't mean much) through pell grants and I'll tell you that I've learned more from TH-cam channels like Cool Worlds than I've learned in school except maybe biology.
I'm so excited! So glad caught the notification. The depths of the information. The way he tells the stories of countless universes. How he can turn science into this beautiful thing that enters the conscious mind. Probes the deepest part of the curious brain. Just keeping you spellbound throughout the awesomeness. And then a feeling of loss when it comes to an end. Leaving you wanting more. Wishing he could keep talking forever. Taking you to the farthest reaches of the known universe and beyond. Thank you Professor for today's wondering journey.
Never talk of humans as rats or cockroaches. That’s the terminology of extermination. There are too many people with that growing mindset about the human race, and most of them see themselves as above and apart from ‘the masses’. Humans are the Universe’s greatest wonder, NOT an infestation.
@@Zakalwe-01 I mostly agree with this. We are a wonder, but wondrously flawed. Every aspect of us has this duality in both our biological workings and psychological workings/behavior. For example, our own immune system is absolutely mind bogglingly amazing. It protects us every second of every day and performs like it almost has a mind of its own, but yet it can easily over react causing allergies and even destroy healthy cells and even kill us. We as people and as a species are capable of incredibly beautiful things and selflessness, but also incredibly selfish and ugly destructive things. We are greedy to the point of destroying our planet and draining every last resource available even to the point of destroying our species' future and killing off other species in droves. Then we have those of us trying to save us all.
Wow that gets you thinking. This is the first Professor K video I’ve watched. This is just like one of Professor Brian Cox’s TV programmes. Impressive, I enjoyed it!
This is my first time seeing one of your videos and I have to say your way of narrating the story and including the sense and wonder of possibility is extraordinary.
I love all of your work, and especially the videos that explore these big “what if” and “what’s next” type questions. For me, that’s one of the joys of roleplaying games (particularly the tabletop kind), where you can delve into a new world or a different time, with friends, and journey through a shared experience together. All while exploring these kinds of big thoughts.
A lot of people want to conclude that there must be an end, which is reasonable, to humans. But I think, blasphemy, what end? Who says we can't outlive our universe? Who says we can't carry on even when the universe has given up, and our pale blue dot is long gone? In my eyes, I find it a challenge to humanity to beat - can we outlast this universe? As long as we live on, it will be as if a piece of our universe has lived on. Should life form in a new universe and we make it to a new universe, we can tell the tale of our humble Earth and our universe and what happened to it all. I find the prospect of being able to carry on Humanity's legacy beyond just this universe is something truly worthwhile. There could be so many mechanics we don't know of yet which would allow us to outlast our universe. We could get super clever too. There could be other universes, and we could just hop over to another universe before ours becomes a wasteland. There's a variety of options, but the idea that "We must end at some point" - I say, that's a challenge, and it would be humanity's greatest achievement to be able to outlast their own universe.
I only wish I had more capability to boost this channel. Everyone needs to be introduced to these topics and you continuously provide exceptionally thoughtful content. Thanks again
I agree with you saying that 'everyone needs to be introduced to these topics', because I have a sense that many people who might not have normally considered themselves into these 'big questions' can nonetheless engage with them and be curious about them. While it's undeniable that aspects of many of the sciences are complex and not all people are going to be able to engage at the technical level (myself included), the advantage about the Cool Worlds stuff is that (by and large), the emphasis is less on the scientific minutiae and more on posing and reflecting on some of the big questions that arguably concern us all. Just as science 'belongs' and is 'owned' by no one and by everyone, so too I see all of these 'big questions' as being essentially humanity's questions, for everyone to consider and ponder. Even if science does manage to eventually provide some semblance of answers to some of these questions (such as possibly finding a second genesis of life somewhere), it will never fully close the book of questions and as such I think there will always be room for individuals to pose their own answers, or just as good - to pose new questions.
First time watcher and you already have me hooked. I stumbled across this video and now I cannot wait to see all the others you have made. You make the explanations so that I (not a scientist) can understand them. Thank you.
At the time and in the four decades since graduation from college I have resented the time I wasted sitting in lectures from professors that were not worth the effort of seating myself in their class. If I would have had only 1 professor half as good as David Kipping my college time would have worthwhile. A lifetime lamenting four wasted years, yet I would without hesitation instantly choose to be 20 and broke again if I could attend Dr Kipping’s classes at Columbia.
That was just so deep. So true, a BILLION years and we're a flicker in our entire evolution. It's mind-blowing to even contemplate what even 1 million years from now. 50,000 years will be, let alone a billion. It's an on-going movie we only play a small part of, before the next scenes come and we're not around to participate in. Hopefully, this movie never has an end no matter what Human derived species come next (until the Universe itself ends...).
I fear that we humans may not be able to live out till the end of the universe. What if something totally unexpected happens? Or perhaps we ourselves will become our own demise, NOT our technology/AI, but our behaviors, generation deprived of genuine guidance, spreading of vices in society and degradation of morality throughout time. What will happen then? Look what's happening now-a-days, how many "genders" we've suddenly got. If such issues were to spread and ecolve, no piece of technology will ever be able to save humanity, ever!
A 3hr movie with 30 FPS has around 1 million frames (still pirctures). So, our own century 100-year lifespan is just 1 frame (30 millisecond) in 46 3-hour movies (46 x 100 million years = 4.6 billion years)
Actually it wouldn't be such a bad thing if we saw the past 12,000 years as a terrible mistake and returned to living in harmony with nature as we did when our Neanderthal ancestors met our Homo Sapiens ancestors. Because us modern humans have become like a cancerous growth on the planet and bring pollution and mass extinction to our beautiful environment. And that's supposed to represent Progress? We were doing pretty good for nearly half million years before.
"Mysteries that we have no choice but to go to the grave with " the cosmos is indeed unforgiving, such videos remind us the fragility of life. Thanks prof. Kipping for the quality, message and knowledge of Cool worlds lab Chanel videos. We really appreciate.
How freaking weird!! I was JUST thinking about this yesterday when looking in awe at some of the massive buildings constructed by us. I thought "man how weird is it gonna be in a million or even a billion years if there's some type of intelligent species to see our artifacts left behind if anything is left" and then you come out with this video today.. what are the chances? Amazing video as always professor. Thank you
If you have ever watched the show ''Life After People'', then you'll probably know that according to the theory, almost NOTHING artificial would probably last more than a few thousand years without maintenance, entropy and the elements simply won't allow it!
I was recently thinking of the fact that evolution will happen to our descendants given long enough means they will be aliens, and our imaginations are too puny, too limited. Channeling Feynman’s line, nature’s imagination is too great for us.
An absolutely exquisite video, stunning images with a narration that informs while being soothing and a soundtrack that does not intrude, but instead adds to enjoyment of the video. Thanks so much for uploading, Cool Worlds!!
After watching this video, I knew I had to write something, but felt so humbled by the amazing eloquence and intellectual level of the narrator that I hesitated and went scrolling for a suitable comment that expressed what I felt post-watching. .. yours did!
Your channel always keeps me grounded. It makes me ponder questions but not get lost in the weeds of woo woo.. Thank you for all your insight and knowledge
This is an amazing video. I really love that you mentioned that you are agnostic and you don’t tell us what you know but tell us what you wonder. The truth is that we do not know as much as we think we know and everything we think we know are merely theories. That’s why it’s important to stay curious, creative, and open minded, otherwise, we might miss something significant. Thanks for the great video.
I give it much longer, there is nothing in the neighbourhood of the Sun that could go Supernova within a dangerous distance. There is also nothing Humans can do to wipe us all out there aren't enough nukes in the world for that thank god. We do have the capability to destroy our civilization with billions dying and i think we all understand those weapons are very patient. It's not if but when... Hope for all reading this that it will happen long after we are gone...But even then humans will survive and rebuild..
One minute before the video was published, i was visiting your channel, being a little sad, that a new upload might take another two weeks… what a nice surprise! One of the best astro/earth history channels out there
Sometimes the reality of our future makes me inherently sad... like the ending of a good book or tv series. Other times I find it peaceful knowing it all comes to an end. These videos always make me think about the bigger questions of life, but more importantly they make me talk to others (esp my young children) about the most diverse topics. Thank you
Not to worry. ‘They’ do not determine our future, and by believing this nonsense that you are an obstacle in their plan for world domination is hurting yourself and others. Because it’s not true. Start reading about the new earth and don’t buy into any of this nonsense they want you to believe, it’ll only get worse leading up to 2030 so be ready!
Sun Life 1 billion yrs remaining. After 500million yrs from now Sun core temp will rise 10% which will extinct all life from Earth. 1st all living organisms will die then Sea water will start to boil for thousand of years. All water will evaporate, Earth will b dry completely n Lifeless. Then sun will turn RED & its size will gradually increase. Although earth moving away from Sun by 4cm/year but sun will grow faster to become RED Giant & it will Engulf all planets in solar system. But one day sun will turn off & remain black forever. Our Sun will never become blackhole coz it is not huge star. Everything gonna end in our solar system if humans don't leave Earth for another habitable planet. That's also a bad idea coz if that planet having dinosaur/animal era then it can be handled with massive guns but if new creatures living more advanced than human then they will make us their slaves😨 Hope u understood. A movie should be made on this
Another thought provoking masterpiece. Never fail to make learning so interesting and enjoyable at the same time. I've watched some videos into double figures they're such easy listening.
I feel like I just listened to Carl Sagan, the way you narrated this video, Professor. Absolutely fantastic work! And a fascinating topic. We have to find a way to begin the next chapter, even though we won't be here to see how it plays out; we owe it to the future.
This is an absolutely amazing piece of work you've given us.. Sad for where we are right now that millions are not subscribed to the thought provoking, intelligent fun provided here.
Thank you for another wonderful episode. The idea for leaving something behind for future civilizations is very similar to the Start Track The Next Generation's Inner Light episode. In that episode a long dead civilization left behind a probe that helped captain of a starship experience in 25 minutes what is equivalent to a lifetime of one person in that lost civilization. This episode from professor Kipping reminded me of the same mind-space I experienced when I watched the Star Trek episode so long ago. And yet that episode was broadcasted only a fraction of a second ago when measured in a different calendar... Earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This rotation gives us day and night. The Earth is tilted on its axis at 23.5 degrees. This creates four to six seasons. And finally, the Earth completes its orbit around the sun in 365.26 days. On average, we live 70-90 orbits of Earth around the sun. We remember events and our lives based on these repeating units. What would it be like if we did not live longer than a season? Then we would never know the difference between Winter and Spring. What would it be like if we lived longer and felt changes influenced by a wider orbit of the Sun around our Galaxy? By the time the Sun completes a circle around the Milky Way galaxy, the Earth would have completed 230 million orbits around the Sun. Or, in our language the Sun orbits around our galaxy in 230 million years. In this galactic calendar, Jurassic era when dinosaurs roamed ended as recently as the last season. The earth is only 16 years old, the Sun is 20 and the entire universe was formed 60 years ago According to this new galactic calendar the universe is not very old; we simply die too young.
I believe that when we consider the entirety of ALL life that ever existed on this planet, when it has all gone forever, it will represent just a brief moment within the history of the universe. We are not relevant.
You Sir are a Poet. Your narration here is beautiful, thought provoking and inspirational. This channel never fails to deliver on so many levels and this edition was outstanding, successfully conveying so much in a mere fifteen minutes. Look at us now, we must evolve or become extinct by our own hand. Our propensity to wage wars of ever increasing destruction and misery seems to be our deepest default setting, an evolutionary Dead End. "Unless"
Professor i can't tell you how relaxing but existentially terrifying your videos are. I have your videos and the Why Files on a Playlist I play on my hour long commute to work. Thank you so much for such amazing content. You are amazing.
I only got 3 minutes in and I had to stop it. I gotta savor this because it's so awesome. I'm gonna restart it when I have all my audio and video systems set perfectly with surround sound and hall/echo/stadium etc you get the picture. This is awesome! Thank you so much!
Life will survive. It is much too adaptable, especially at microbe levels. Cities will crumble, nature will move back, mountains will form, forests will regrow, new deserts form, continents will move, life will find a way. Man has scarred the planet but he'll die out before he kills it OR he'll evolve to lose his 'humanity' and become once again just another animal chewing on a forest leaf. Evolution has no goal, it just happens. Perhaps evolution will have humans adapt back to 'simpler' lifeforms. Some would say it's already happening if you listen to the 'debate' issues of recent years.
I love every video you put out at Cool Worlds, and they are fantastic to watch during my long night shifts. Also perfect brain fuel to watch during study breaks while getting ready to start a physics PhD
I could've watched this for a billion years. Sublime production worthy of all the awards YT has to offer. The fact this channel is still under a million subs is a crime.
Agh! YES! Thank you Dr Kipping. I look forward to these more than you know. If I had the money I’d fund every project you had so long as there was content every week. Thank you for what you do
I enjoyed the reading. Our species should never leave this planet. We aren't a kind or understanding species. We are destroyers. A few of us are non waring but the rest, no way. The poison of ourselves shouldn't be allowed to do what we've done here. Period!!
Love your channel Prof. David Kipping and this video in particular. Thank you and keep doing the incredible research, science communication and story-telling you're doing! I particularly liked the deep questions you pose about the future of humanity as a species - Will we become true interstellar explorers, perhaps joining other advanced space-faring civilizations, able to one day unlock countless mysteries across the galaxy? Or will we exhaust the precious resources on our home planet and fail to bring our complex ecosystem back into balance, potentially destroying ourselves, unable to realize a more optimistic future for our species? You inspire BIG thinking and I love where my mind goes thanks to the different thought-provoking questions you raise. In the world of science fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) it’s easy for humans to travel to other planets and stars but in the short time we’ve been able to venture beyond Earth’s atmosphere, we’ve realized just how challenging our moon, Mars and the cold unforgiving void of space truly are. Unless we drastically alter our own biology, exploring our solar system and beyond looks like a job better suited for our AI surrogates. The AI we send out to explore other planets, moons and asteroids in our solar system will continue to get more advanced, able to withstand almost any environment the universe can throw at us, becoming more autonomous and one day even able to travel to nearby stars as you’ve highlighted in other videos. If we had a spaceship that could make it to our nearest star Proxima Centauri, and it took only 300 years (unbelievable future technology advances would be required to achieve this), who’s to say the humans born onboard during the trip would follow through on the plans their parents or grand-parents set out with when they left Earth? AI will also be more reliable to follow through on commitments written into their source code compared with us fickle free-thinking humans ;) It makes me wonder if when do make contact with other interstellar civilizations, whether we are far more likely to be meeting their AI rather than them - as would likely be the case were things reversed. Today images of our AI conjure up silicon chips running robot-like humanoids like C-3PO but alien AI may look very different from this paradigm - they may or may not resemble their own biology and it’s hard to know if we would even be able to truly know if our encounter was with them or one of their AI creations. Even in the short time we humans have been making computers we already have created computation with DNA and incorporated human neurons onto a computer chip. Though smart folks have expressed concern that the singularity is soon approaching - when AI and humans will merge and/or AI will gain consciousness, so far we haven’t seen any hard evidence that consciousness and artificial intelligence are inextricably linked. We tend to link these because in humans they are linked. Yuval Harari defines consciousness as the ability to experience suffering, which for me gets to the crux of it. It’s not obvious to me that as AI develops in complexity and computational power it will automatically gain the ability to experience suffering. We will need to consider designing our future AI interstellar explorers as potential ambassadors and communicators to other interstellar species they might encounter. Strange that we may only learn about such a future encounter many years after it has already happened, when the information has had enough time to travel back to us. Hopefully faster than the ensuing alien invasion of Earth ;) Even though I think it will be possible to have highly advanced AI without consciousness, it seems presumptive to assume that there’s anything supernatural about human or animal consciousness. So in theory if one day we do figure out what consciousness is exactly, we may be able to create it or another version of it using silicon rather than carbon as the base substrate and grant a kind of consciousness to the AI we build and send out to distant stars.
Just stumbled across this channel. Very informative and for providing me with more questions about “life” and “who we are” in this quest for understanding…
Wow, every time I don’t mean to have just watched a video in its entirety it’s one of yours. Every time. You are SO good at this! I love every single video of yours that I have ever seen.
these are the kind of videos i enjoy the most. to continue to learn about ourselves and all of the possible scenarios the future holds for us. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE THE TIME TO EVOLVE INTO A MORE CALMER SPECIES. there is always HOPE.
His content and presentation with it's speculative nature leaving us to draw our own individual conclusions is fascinating and memorizing. We are left yearning for answers that no one can or should attempt to narrate for it would certainly be insufficient given the subject matter. Fifteen minutes and thirty two seconds to contemplate the enormity of the thought is time well spent.
Brilliant…challenging…my belief that we are the sum total of randomness which is in constant motion motion, interacting and overlapping itself without direction or desire? Thanks 😊
This was so brilliant and moving it almost had me in tears for some reason??? Science mixed with a heart, what a great combination, please keep up the good work!!!
The fact that you have this dream and you are impelled to make this video is allll the evidence you need of how astounding our impulses and dreams are! Everyone is compelled to seek their own truth, no matter how humble or grand it may be. And LIVE it.
Dont take this the wrong way but i adore your whole presentation, your clear passion for this amazing subject. I could listen your voice for hours, its amazing. Thank you
This video needs to be played at any international gathering of politicians so they can all shut up and stop fighting, and realize what we are as a collective and how little we have both in space and time.
Great video, thanks. I really liked it as a geologist. Very inspirational. However, the geologic record is likely to show evidence of our civilizations and structures 900 million years from now. Our buildings and other hardware are so ubiquitous, voluminous, varied in material types...and in so many locales(depositional environments), evidence is likely to show up in some places. For example some rocks often last 900 million years, and others don't.
I am convinced that it already is a great achievement that we are able to ask these questions and ponder about distant past and future. Even if we cannot hope to get all the answers as well.
I can't get enough of this! Beautiful Storytelling. Wonderful production. I am inspired after listening. The words flow like water. Thank you so much for this.
Human species will disappeared in less than 30k years from now (self induced destruction), earth will still exists for many billion years. Many billion years ago, many living things only being eliminated by external factors. Comparatively, human chapter is so short. Sad, indeed.
Just fell into this rabbit hole tonight for the first time! So happy I did. I’m 71 yrs old and my learning and yearning has never ceased. Thank you professor K for this video and more to come!

How he can turn science into this beautiful thing that enters the conscious mind. Probes the deepest part of the curious brain. Just keeping you spellbound throughout the awesomeness. And then a feeling of loss when it comes to an end. Leaving you wanting more. Wishing he could keep talking forever. Taking you to the farthest reaches of the known universe and beyond.
Thank you Professor for today's wondering journey.
Never talk of humans as rats or cockroaches. That’s the terminology of extermination. There are too many people with that growing mindset about the human race, and most of them see themselves as above and apart from ‘the masses’. Humans are the Universe’s greatest wonder, NOT an infestation.
@@Zakalwe-01 I mostly agree with this. We are a wonder, but wondrously flawed. Every aspect of us has this duality in both our biological workings and psychological workings/behavior. For example, our own immune system is absolutely mind bogglingly amazing. It protects us every second of every day and performs like it almost has a mind of its own, but yet it can easily over react causing allergies and even destroy healthy cells and even kill us. We as people and as a species are capable of incredibly beautiful things and selflessness, but also incredibly selfish and ugly destructive things. We are greedy to the point of destroying our planet and draining every last resource available even to the point of destroying our species' future and killing off other species in droves. Then we have those of us trying to save us all.
That was lovely and well written.
I always appreciate the thought that goes into your work.
Keep being you.
Wow that gets you thinking. This is the first Professor K video I’ve watched. This is just like one of Professor Brian Cox’s TV programmes. Impressive, I enjoyed it!
This is my first time seeing one of your videos and I have to say your way of narrating the story and including the sense and wonder of possibility is extraordinary.
We each are richer and wiser within the matter of fifteen minutes.
I love all of your work, and especially the videos that explore these big “what if” and “what’s next” type questions.
For me, that’s one of the joys of roleplaying games (particularly the tabletop kind), where you can delve into a new world or a different time, with friends, and journey through a shared experience together. All while exploring these kinds of big thoughts.
A lot of people want to conclude that there must be an end, which is reasonable, to humans. But I think, blasphemy, what end? Who says we can't outlive our universe? Who says we can't carry on even when the universe has given up, and our pale blue dot is long gone? In my eyes, I find it a challenge to humanity to beat - can we outlast this universe? As long as we live on, it will be as if a piece of our universe has lived on. Should life form in a new universe and we make it to a new universe, we can tell the tale of our humble Earth and our universe and what happened to it all. I find the prospect of being able to carry on Humanity's legacy beyond just this universe is something truly worthwhile. There could be so many mechanics we don't know of yet which would allow us to outlast our universe. We could get super clever too. There could be other universes, and we could just hop over to another universe before ours becomes a wasteland. There's a variety of options, but the idea that "We must end at some point" - I say, that's a challenge, and it would be humanity's greatest achievement to be able to outlast their own universe.
How wonderful 😊, do enjoy. Even on my own, these intriguing topics can have me drifting to amazing path's of thought 😮
I only wish I had more capability to boost this channel. Everyone needs to be introduced to these topics and you continuously provide exceptionally thoughtful content. Thanks again
I agree with you saying that 'everyone needs to be introduced to these topics', because I have a sense that many people who might not have normally considered themselves into these 'big questions' can nonetheless engage with them and be curious about them. While it's undeniable that aspects of many of the sciences are complex and not all people are going to be able to engage at the technical level (myself included), the advantage about the Cool Worlds stuff is that (by and large), the emphasis is less on the scientific minutiae and more on posing and reflecting on some of the big questions that arguably concern us all. Just as science 'belongs' and is 'owned' by no one and by everyone, so too I see all of these 'big questions' as being essentially humanity's questions, for everyone to consider and ponder. Even if science does manage to eventually provide some semblance of answers to some of these questions (such as possibly finding a second genesis of life somewhere), it will never fully close the book of questions and as such I think there will always be room for individuals to pose their own answers, or just as good - to pose new questions.
When I connect with other people on various social media, I always give a link to CW if I think they'd feel engaged by it.
Especially religious people need to see the real truth.
First time watcher and you already have me hooked. I stumbled across this video and now I cannot wait to see all the others you have made. You make the explanations so that I (not a scientist) can understand them. Thank you.
Just subscribed after coming upon this masterpiece of thought and vision.
At the time and in the four decades since graduation from college I have resented the time I wasted sitting in lectures from professors that were not worth the effort of seating myself in their class.
If I would have had only 1 professor half as good as David Kipping my college time would have worthwhile.
A lifetime lamenting four wasted years, yet I would without hesitation instantly choose to be 20 and broke again if I could attend Dr Kipping’s classes at Columbia.
That was just so deep. So true, a BILLION years and we're a flicker in our entire evolution. It's mind-blowing to even contemplate what even 1 million years from now. 50,000 years will be, let alone a billion. It's an on-going movie we only play a small part of, before the next scenes come and we're not around to participate in. Hopefully, this movie never has an end no matter what Human derived species come next (until the Universe itself ends...).
I fear that we humans may not be able to live out till the end of the universe. What if something totally unexpected happens? Or perhaps we ourselves will become our own demise, NOT our technology/AI, but our behaviors, generation deprived of genuine guidance, spreading of vices in society and degradation of morality throughout time. What will happen then? Look what's happening now-a-days, how many "genders" we've suddenly got. If such issues were to spread and ecolve, no piece of technology will ever be able to save humanity, ever!
Then we just build a new universe to inhabit with other species like us. After all what is a god but a stage beyond our current stage of evolution?
A 3hr movie with 30 FPS has around 1 million frames (still pirctures). So, our own century 100-year lifespan is just 1 frame (30 millisecond) in 46 3-hour movies (46 x 100 million years = 4.6 billion years)
@@tomsmith4542 mind blown
Actually it wouldn't be such a bad thing if we saw the past 12,000 years as a terrible mistake and returned to living in harmony with nature as we did when our Neanderthal ancestors met our Homo Sapiens ancestors. Because us modern humans have become like a cancerous growth on the planet and bring pollution and mass extinction to our beautiful environment. And that's supposed to represent Progress? We were doing pretty good for nearly half million years before.
"Mysteries that we have no choice but to go to the grave with " the cosmos is indeed unforgiving, such videos remind us the fragility of life. Thanks prof. Kipping for the quality, message and knowledge of Cool worlds lab Chanel videos. We really appreciate.
A stunning and moving video from start to finish. Really makes you question our existence and what we will do to keep our planet thriving for kids.
Your voice reduces anxiety, and as someone suffering from a specific type of literally crippling anxiety, I CAN say it. Thank you🌺
How freaking weird!! I was JUST thinking about this yesterday when looking in awe at some of the massive buildings constructed by us. I thought "man how weird is it gonna be in a million or even a billion years if there's some type of intelligent species to see our artifacts left behind if anything is left" and then you come out with this video today.. what are the chances? Amazing video as always professor. Thank you
Bro me too, wtf
@@pickyourlane6431 wtf! Long lost brothers ❤️
If you have ever watched the show ''Life After People'', then you'll probably know that according to the theory, almost NOTHING artificial would probably last more than a few thousand years without maintenance, entropy and the elements simply won't allow it!
@esrever gnireenigne man you are probably the most fun person to be around at a party!
I was recently thinking of the fact that evolution will happen to our descendants given long enough means they will be aliens, and our imaginations are too puny, too limited. Channeling Feynman’s line, nature’s imagination is too great for us.
Just discovered this channel absolutely brilliant, keep the content coming😊
Welcome aboard!
An absolutely exquisite video, stunning images with a narration that informs while being soothing and a soundtrack that does not intrude, but instead adds to enjoyment of the video. Thanks so much for uploading, Cool Worlds!!
After watching this video, I knew I had to write something, but felt so humbled by the amazing eloquence and intellectual level of the narrator that I hesitated and went scrolling for a suitable comment that expressed what I felt post-watching. .. yours did!
You have articulated very neatly something that I'd been compiling in my head for years. Thank you
Prof. Kipping never disappoints. This is the only channel where I check if a new video is up even though I have notifications up!
Your channel always keeps me grounded. It makes me ponder questions but not get lost in the weeds of woo woo..
Thank you for all your insight and knowledge
Dr. Kipping,you sir are a legend. Been listening for quite some time,thank you Cool world labs! ❤️💯🔭
That’s really wonderful to hear, thanks so much
This is an amazing video. I really love that you mentioned that you are agnostic and you don’t tell us what you know but tell us what you wonder. The truth is that we do not know as much as we think we know and everything we think we know are merely theories. That’s why it’s important to stay curious, creative, and open minded, otherwise, we might miss something significant. Thanks for the great video.
Every time I think Prof. Kipping can't produce a more insightful video, he does!
From an ex-Professor , you are an amazing teacher. Your story telling ability is legendary and elevates the TH-cam platform.
I'm too stoned for this right now
😂
ik this guy's gettin real into it lmao
I hope you recovered. Too funny
Bahahaha
How bout now
Unfortunately I think it will be a miracle if intelligent life makes it 1000 years
Intelligent life will start over again and again and again.
I'd optimistically give it 200.
self destruction is not intelligent life, therefore humans aren't intelligent.
I'll put $ on 50 years
I give it much longer, there is nothing in the neighbourhood of the Sun that could go Supernova within a dangerous distance. There is also nothing Humans can do to wipe us all out there aren't enough nukes in the world for that thank god. We do have the capability to destroy our civilization with billions dying and i think we all understand those weapons are very patient. It's not if but when... Hope for all reading this that it will happen long after we are gone...But even then humans will survive and rebuild..
One minute before the video was published, i was visiting your channel, being a little sad, that a new upload might take another two weeks… what a nice surprise! One of the best astro/earth history channels out there
I hope it’s worth the wait
@@CoolWorldsLab it completely was. As it always is 🎉
Sometimes the reality of our future makes me inherently sad... like the ending of a good book or tv series. Other times I find it peaceful knowing it all comes to an end. These videos always make me think about the bigger questions of life, but more importantly they make me talk to others (esp my young children) about the most diverse topics. Thank you
Not to worry. ‘They’ do not determine our future, and by believing this nonsense that you are an obstacle in their plan for world domination is hurting yourself and others. Because it’s not true. Start reading about the new earth and don’t buy into any of this nonsense they want you to believe, it’ll only get worse leading up to 2030 so be ready!
Yes true everything must end excluding the universe
Yup, everything is born destine to do 1 last thing.
Sun Life 1 billion yrs remaining. After 500million yrs from now Sun core temp will rise 10% which will extinct all life from Earth. 1st all living organisms will die then Sea water will start to boil for thousand of years. All water will evaporate, Earth will b dry completely n Lifeless. Then sun will turn RED & its size will gradually increase. Although earth moving away from Sun by 4cm/year but sun will grow faster to become RED Giant & it will Engulf all planets in solar system. But one day sun will turn off & remain black forever. Our Sun will never become blackhole coz it is not huge star. Everything gonna end in our solar system if humans don't leave Earth for another habitable planet. That's also a bad idea coz if that planet having dinosaur/animal era then it can be handled with massive guns but if new creatures living more advanced than human then they will make us their slaves😨 Hope u understood. A movie should be made on this
@@SkynetCyber slaves…? I don’t think so dude but the rest is spot on.
Wow. Very interesting. Great viewing and fantastic cinematography throughout.
This was one of your very best videos. Thanks so much for the thoughtfulness.
Wow, this is one of the most mind provoking, logical assessments of where we are in this frame of time. Well done!
Another thought provoking masterpiece. Never fail to make learning so interesting and enjoyable at the same time. I've watched some videos into double figures they're such easy listening.
I feel like I just listened to Carl Sagan, the way you narrated this video, Professor. Absolutely fantastic work! And a fascinating topic. We have to find a way to begin the next chapter, even though we won't be here to see how it plays out; we owe it to the future.
Very true, Brian Cox is an excellent narrator as well.
Same here! Loved watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos series back in the day. I'm glad this generation has someone like him. Keep up the good work professor K
Sagan was an awesome gift to us…I miss him. This is an awesome next step
This is an absolutely amazing piece of work you've given us.. Sad for where we are right now that millions are not subscribed to the thought provoking, intelligent fun provided here.
The vocal quality is awsum, glad I bumped into your channel, subscribed immediately, looking forward to learn more
Thank you for another wonderful episode.
The idea for leaving something behind for future civilizations is very similar to the Start Track The Next Generation's Inner Light episode. In that episode a long dead civilization left behind a probe that helped captain of a starship experience in 25 minutes what is equivalent to a lifetime of one person in that lost civilization. This episode from professor Kipping reminded me of the same mind-space I experienced when I watched the Star Trek episode so long ago. And yet that episode was broadcasted only a fraction of a second ago when measured in a different calendar...
Earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This rotation gives us day and night. The Earth is tilted on its axis at 23.5 degrees. This creates four to six seasons. And finally, the Earth completes its orbit around the sun in 365.26 days. On average, we live 70-90 orbits of Earth around the sun. We remember events and our lives based on these repeating units. What would it be like if we did not live longer than a season? Then we would never know the difference between Winter and Spring. What would it be like if we lived longer and felt changes influenced by a wider orbit of the Sun around our Galaxy?
By the time the Sun completes a circle around the Milky Way galaxy, the Earth would have completed 230 million orbits around the Sun. Or, in our language the Sun orbits around our galaxy in 230 million years. In this galactic calendar, Jurassic era when dinosaurs roamed ended as recently as the last season. The earth is only 16 years old, the Sun is 20 and the entire universe was formed 60 years ago
According to this new galactic calendar the universe is not very old; we simply die too young.
You offer up a great perspective about how many times our sun goes around our galaxy. Thank you!
I believe that when we consider the entirety of ALL life that ever existed on this planet, when it has all gone forever, it will represent just a brief moment within the history of the universe. We are not relevant.
You Sir are a Poet.
Your narration here is beautiful, thought provoking and inspirational.
This channel never fails to deliver on so many levels and this edition
was outstanding, successfully conveying so much in a mere fifteen minutes.
Look at us now, we must evolve or become extinct by our own hand. Our
propensity to wage wars of ever increasing destruction and misery seems
to be our deepest default setting, an evolutionary Dead End.
"Unless"
When i found out there's only a billion years left i kind of skipped most of the video thinking I'd better hurry up and get to the end of it.
Predicting future of earth is like predicting weather pattern for 10 years ahead.
Professor i can't tell you how relaxing but existentially terrifying your videos are. I have your videos and the Why Files on a Playlist I play on my hour long commute to work. Thank you so much for such amazing content. You are amazing.
I only got 3 minutes in and I had to stop it. I gotta savor this because it's so awesome. I'm gonna restart it when I have all my audio and video systems set perfectly with surround sound and hall/echo/stadium etc you get the picture. This is awesome! Thank you so much!
In 1 billion yrs, there will be nothing we know as of today. Man destroys everything. Even himself
Life will survive. It is much too adaptable, especially at microbe levels. Cities will crumble, nature will move back, mountains will form, forests will regrow, new deserts form, continents will move, life will find a way. Man has scarred the planet but he'll die out before he kills it OR he'll evolve to lose his 'humanity' and become once again just another animal chewing on a forest leaf. Evolution has no goal, it just happens. Perhaps evolution will have humans adapt back to 'simpler' lifeforms. Some would say it's already happening if you listen to the 'debate' issues of recent years.
This is so well done and I'm happy I found your channel.
This was an amazing video. Keep this up. i enjoy your view, vision and incite. much love buddy.
I love every video you put out at Cool Worlds, and they are fantastic to watch during my long night shifts. Also perfect brain fuel to watch during study breaks while getting ready to start a physics PhD
I could've watched this for a billion years. Sublime production worthy of all the awards YT has to offer. The fact this channel is still under a million subs is a crime.
Bro has a PhD in poetry too???
Hands down the best videos on TH-cam!!! Power to move me sideways lol. LOVE THESE!!
THANK YOU!!!
thank you 🎈
very nice video
you are appreciated
looking forward to more
Agh! YES!
Thank you Dr Kipping. I look forward to these more than you know. If I had the money I’d fund every project you had so long as there was content every week.
Thank you for what you do
I enjoyed the reading. Our species should never leave this planet. We aren't a kind or understanding species. We are destroyers. A few of us are non waring but the rest, no way. The poison of ourselves shouldn't be allowed to do what we've done here. Period!!
Love your channel Prof. David Kipping and this video in particular. Thank you and keep doing the incredible research, science communication and story-telling you're doing!
I particularly liked the deep questions you pose about the future of humanity as a species - Will we become true interstellar explorers, perhaps joining other advanced space-faring civilizations, able to one day unlock countless mysteries across the galaxy?
Or will we exhaust the precious resources on our home planet and fail to bring our complex ecosystem back into balance, potentially destroying ourselves, unable to realize a more optimistic future for our species?
You inspire BIG thinking and I love where my mind goes thanks to the different thought-provoking questions you raise.
In the world of science fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) it’s easy for humans to travel to other planets and stars but in the short time we’ve been able to venture beyond Earth’s atmosphere, we’ve realized just how challenging our moon, Mars and the cold unforgiving void of space truly are. Unless we drastically alter our own biology, exploring our solar system and beyond looks like a job better suited for our AI surrogates.
The AI we send out to explore other planets, moons and asteroids in our solar system will continue to get more advanced, able to withstand almost any environment the universe can throw at us, becoming more autonomous and one day even able to travel to nearby stars as you’ve highlighted in other videos. If we had a spaceship that could make it to our nearest star Proxima Centauri, and it took only 300 years (unbelievable future technology advances would be required to achieve this), who’s to say the humans born onboard during the trip would follow through on the plans their parents or grand-parents set out with when they left Earth?
AI will also be more reliable to follow through on commitments written into their source code compared with us fickle free-thinking humans ;) It makes me wonder if when do make contact with other interstellar civilizations, whether we are far more likely to be meeting their AI rather than them - as would likely be the case were things reversed. Today images of our AI conjure up silicon chips running robot-like humanoids like C-3PO but alien AI may look very different from this paradigm - they may or may not resemble their own biology and it’s hard to know if we would even be able to truly know if our encounter was with them or one of their AI creations. Even in the short time we humans have been making computers we already have created computation with DNA and incorporated human neurons onto a computer chip.
Though smart folks have expressed concern that the singularity is soon approaching - when AI and humans will merge and/or AI will gain consciousness, so far we haven’t seen any hard evidence that consciousness and artificial intelligence are inextricably linked. We tend to link these because in humans they are linked. Yuval Harari defines consciousness as the ability to experience suffering, which for me gets to the crux of it. It’s not obvious to me that as AI develops in complexity and computational power it will automatically gain the ability to experience suffering.
We will need to consider designing our future AI interstellar explorers as potential ambassadors and communicators to other interstellar species they might encounter. Strange that we may only learn about such a future encounter many years after it has already happened, when the information has had enough time to travel back to us. Hopefully faster than the ensuing alien invasion of Earth ;)
Even though I think it will be possible to have highly advanced AI without consciousness, it seems presumptive to assume that there’s anything supernatural about human or animal consciousness. So in theory if one day we do figure out what consciousness is exactly, we may be able to create it or another version of it using silicon rather than carbon as the base substrate and grant a kind of consciousness to the AI we build and send out to distant stars.
Which movie is this from? 14:18 ?
Just stumbled across this channel. Very informative and for providing me with more questions about “life” and “who we are” in this quest for understanding…
The quality of videos and information presented in this channel is just spectacular. 100/100!
a billion years? haha Mankind will destroy itself potentially within the next 100 years. I think this dude is being optimistic
People will still talk about how bad Joe Biden was!
NO SHIT!
This is the wrong chat bro
Wow David, I'm your biggest fan, and your work is very inspiring indeed.
Wow, every time I don’t mean to have just watched a video in its entirety it’s one of yours. Every time. You are SO good at this! I love every single video of yours that I have ever seen.
That video was brilliant. I have to show it to everyone! What questions indeed.
Just found this channel today. Really well done!
The technology you use to record your voice is absolutely incredible. Please share with all you tube educational providers (and me too).
these are the kind of videos i enjoy the most. to continue to learn about ourselves and all of the possible scenarios the future holds for us. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE THE TIME TO EVOLVE INTO A MORE CALMER SPECIES. there is always HOPE.
That you provide the questions and not the answers makes your content even more inspiring. Thank you
You and Melodysheep are some of the best TH-camrs for deep and thought provoking videos about humans and the universe
His content and presentation with it's speculative nature leaving us to draw our own individual conclusions is fascinating and memorizing. We are left yearning for answers that no one can or should attempt to narrate for it would certainly be insufficient given the subject matter. Fifteen minutes and thirty two seconds to contemplate the enormity of the thought is time well spent.
great stuff to watch very late at night when you can’t sleep and your concentration is drawn in and the music helps it seem more deep too. ☺️
Brilliant…challenging…my belief that we are the sum total of randomness which is in constant motion motion, interacting and overlapping itself without direction or desire? Thanks 😊
Love your presentation mate!
This was so brilliant and moving it almost had me in tears for some reason??? Science mixed with a heart, what a great combination, please keep up the good work!!!
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth.
The fact that you have this dream and you are impelled to make this video is allll the evidence you need of how astounding our impulses and dreams are! Everyone is compelled to seek their own truth, no matter how humble or grand it may be. And LIVE it.
Dont take this the wrong way but i adore your whole presentation, your clear passion for this amazing subject. I could listen your voice for hours, its amazing. Thank you
This video needs to be played at any international gathering of politicians so they can all shut up and stop fighting, and realize what we are as a collective and how little we have both in space and time.
Great video, thanks. I really liked it as a geologist. Very inspirational. However, the geologic record is likely to show evidence of our civilizations and structures 900 million years from now. Our buildings and other hardware are so ubiquitous, voluminous, varied in material types...and in so many locales(depositional environments), evidence is likely to show up in some places. For example some rocks often last 900 million years, and others don't.
Very insightful and thought provoking. Thank you
Great development of your channel. Thank you.
Brilliant and insightful. I feel that I just went back to school to learn this science with the clarity that I wished for as a young man. Thank you!
Which movie is this from? 14:18 ?
I am convinced that it already is a great achievement that we are able to ask these questions and ponder about distant past and future. Even if we cannot hope to get all the answers as well.
Great video, it really delivered a lot to ponder. To think of the future, start with the past.
You are a great narrator and video maker. I'm hooked. Very interesting content.
That was very poetic. Pleasant to listen to and learn from and ignite our curiosity.
I can't get enough of this! Beautiful Storytelling. Wonderful production. I am inspired after listening. The words flow like water. Thank you so much for this.
Human species will disappeared in less than 30k years from now (self induced destruction), earth will still exists for many billion years. Many billion years ago, many living things only being eliminated by external factors. Comparatively, human chapter is so short. Sad, indeed.
