David is one of the best narrators of all time. Period. Especially if you're a science/space nerd. The "How Far Away is It" series is my favorite... I've probably watched every episode at least 4-5 times by now. Thanks David, for everything you do!
@@DanielVerberne I couldn't agree more... It is very hard to find fellow "cool nerds" these days. Edit: I live in Massachusetts, if you happen to be close by 🤘
Mr. Butler, your superb commentary and teaching style has increased my knowledge and understanding of astronomy, and physics in general, in a profound and meaningful way. Thank you so much.
most superb documentary series since original Cosmos. What I love most is how we're not babied, treated like low attention span children. Wholesome and beautiful
People often talk about who their national treasures are. David here is a global treasure. There aren’t many like him. David Attenborough is a possible colleague - and you share a given name. Isn’t that something 🤩 Thank you Mr. Butler, you are amazing and I love you and your work so much. I would give a winning lottery ticket in exchange for your presence at my dinner table with my family ❤
Every day I check this page for a new video, so glad to get this, really looking forward to your end of year review as well David, I hope you are in good health and had a merry Christmas, thanks.
Lord Butler brandishes his raw power once again, silencing those who would dare to defy him, and stilling the tongues of fools who would dare to question his greatness. Another freaking slam dunk addition to the video book. I dont even like astrophysics (im more into earthly physics), but even then, I love these videos.
Hi David, these medium/long format videos are my personal favourite in your catalogue work. I've noticed that your narration has changed over the years - does AI Tech help fill in the gaps when you aren't up to recording? Or has it been fully your own vocals on every single release? Keep it up!
Another fascinating video Dr Butler! I must admit I find the relationship between ionisation state and transparency as the universe evolves quite hard to keep track of. I may watch the video again and take notes.
I thought it was pretty neat that they localized the quasar to within the coverage spot of the moon, and thought that would be it. Why can't the ionized gas find electrons and become whole again?
Would the dark ages really have been dark? Wouldn't there be a glow in every direction from the to-be CMB while it was still in the orange or red, as the light from that moment continued to reach a given point in space? When did the CMB first leave the visible spectrum?
If* there was a 'big bang' and all matter stemmed from that and expanded from there on outwards, wouldn't all galaxies light have been visible on the voyage outward as space expanded and the galaxies were still forming, and not have arrived at their current positions and then emit their light back towards the inner universe? (Just a non astronomers dumb ass question) 😉
I am making a world building project that's a sci-fi fantasy setting based heavily on native american myths but with heavy science grounding many concepts which is actually surprisingly easy cuz of things like Sundance religion of the great plains easy to connect to stars cosmological significance in science. Anyways one thing I added is a group of religions based on geometry of the universe with different sects believing that the universe is either infinite and flat like in 3d Euclidean geometry: they're called the Euclidians, and there are diverging sects who believe that it's either spherical and closes off from positive curvature and the others believe that the curvature is hyperbolic and negative. They treat figures of cosmological history the level religions do with saints and prophets. Their works are seen as scripture and to disagree is heretical. And my favorite aspect to write is their mythological history which is like a mythologicalized version of our real lambda cold dark matter model of cosmology. Like attributing the big Bang to a creator being. Attributing chaos, order, entropy and even geometry to deitys. And how the epochs of creation were the settings of epic battles between deities. I have a good myth about the first light of the universe being from the victory of the first sun gods (these specific deities in the setting manifested as stars and worshipped by regular ppl) over the deity of void, the deity of dark energy and some other gods I could associate with darkness. And just wanted to say your videos help alot with the cosmology because it's actually really easy to mythologize when you have someone remove the mythologicalizing alot of other narrators attribute and add. Or atleast it's easier to make my own mythos without being influenced by others. An example is SEA
What about the CBMR axis of evil? How is it explained by the big bang? And if a big bang happened from a singularity then why are galaxies all moving away from each other and not from a single point in space? If we were to a thought experiment and reverse time, everything would originate from the supermassive black hole in the centers of each galaxy, not from a singularity, but everything appears to have originated from countless supermassive black holes scattered across the universe, each separated by millions of light years. Observations do not support a big bang singularity at all. Plus, according to the 1st law of thermodynamics energy and matter can't be created. Then why does the universe contains so much matter and energy if energy and matter can't be created? Observations indicate energy and matter can indeed be created else the universe would be a massive void of nothing. I wouldn't be sitting here made of matter and energy writing on a computer made of matter and energy, connected to an electrical outlet made of matter and energy, sending this information wirelessly thought the internet made of matter and energy. Plus, according to the lambda cold dark matter model, if a big bang happened 13.8 billion years ago, light takes time to travel so we're looking back in time, plus galaxies take a billion years minimum to form, then the JWST would not have found anything beyond the light distance of 12.8 billion light years away. Yet the the JWST and other ground based telescopes found old, not young but old galaxies, some older and larger than our own galaxy further than 13.5 billion light years away. Observations are empirical evidence which trump theories and speculation. Observations indicate the theories and models used to predict the evolution of the universe from start to finish are all wrong. Astronomers discovered old, fully grown galaxies further than a light distance of 14 billion light years away which debunked the big bang theory, rapid cosmic inflation, thermodynamics, speed of light, age of the universe, Hubble constant, theory of gravity, look-back time, distance to the CMBR and more. Keep on with the science fiction because it's a great story. Too bad Albert Einstein and others were found to be wrong. I feel so sad for Einstein because he wasn't the genius everyone portrayed him to be. I guess it's back to the drawing board with more ideas, assumptions and speculations.

Ur ghey
he has done incredible work
I wish I knew you fans in my real life - it's rare to find people who appreciate intellectual content done well.
@@DanielVerberne I couldn't agree more... It is very hard to find fellow "cool nerds" these days.
Edit: I live in Massachusetts, if you happen to be close by 🤘
May you live forever, keep these videos coming. I only hope people understand that this is a global treasure. Thank you sincerely David for your work!
Mr. Butler, your superb commentary and teaching style has increased my knowledge and understanding of astronomy, and physics in general, in a profound and meaningful way. Thank you so much.
The best cosmology TH-camr by a large margin, great work David
Large in the margin!!
most superb documentary series since original Cosmos. What I love most is how we're not babied, treated like low attention span children. Wholesome and beautiful
Happy New Year, David!
Happy New Year, it's wonderful to see you back. Excited to learn more astrophysics!
And the music is stellar, as well. Kudos, Mr. Butler.
Def one of the best channels for astrophysics.
True Legend of Astronomy DAVID BUTLER
Been quite a while. Happy to see a video from you!
I watch many creators and your videos are by far the most interesting because you don't skip the details and illustrate visuals!

Mr. Butler ending the year in style. What a channel!
Really excited for this upload!! 🌌
Thanks Mr Butler!❤
I'm a simple man. David Butler posts, I click.
A rare and savory treat seeing an upload here. Thank you sir. You're a teacher to many and nurture our love for Space.
How good to have news from you David! We missed your videos
Aww excellent timing! I got dumped today and needed something relaxing to take my mind off of it. Thank you!
Thanks for another video. Trustworthy, informative and educational! You're the best!
Thank you! Great presentation!
Something special, that is you!
Cheers David! Thank you
Thank you David, wish you and your family have a Happy New Year! ✨
Wow! What a treat!
Keep learning, keep teaching. Keeps us young. Thankyou so much Mr Butler.
Cannot thank you enough for posting these videos.
A new David Butler video. Merry Christmas to us.
Happy New Year, Uncle Butler!
- A far, far man from the universe⏳️
The best notification on my TH-cam! You are the best
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you sir for another video
i don't know why, but your videos were not popping up for me until just now. Looking forward to them!
Captivating, as always.
THE BEST! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excited for the 2024 in review video!
yeah if we're that lucky again.. had the same thought
Thanks!
Good stuff!
The best!
Fantastic video David, thanks for the great content.
Love this 🎉
Grazie, bellissimo ❤. E lucevano le stelle...
I'm always waiting for the next one
Exactly what I was expecting today!
Already clicked the like button without watching 1 frame because I KNOW it will be good. Saved it to " Watch Later".
Can't wait to watch this one!
I honestly get very excited to see your new videos.... And so glad you are still posting .... You bring so much joy to people Mr Butler 😊
Mr.Butler 😊Thanks
Every day I check this page for a new video, so glad to get this, really looking forward to your end of year review as well David, I hope you are in good health and had a merry Christmas, thanks.
Dr. Butler, your videos are superb and mesmerizing.
havent even watched it yet but i know its gone be good.
Merry Christmas and happy new year David - it’s always nice to see a new post from you

Happy New year Dr Butler....keep it up! All the best from Brazil!
OMG।।। So grateful for this

Even with some paragraphs that I did not understand, but I love listening to Mr. David
Great work great mind, God bless you David.
I love this channel.
The legend is back ❤
wow A David Butler video!! Woohoo!! THANK YOU
Nice, some of my favorited content, thanks
Truly the Bob Ross of cosmology
Hi sir we missed you
❌Dark Mater = SpaceTime = Gravity❌
All are the same phenomena 🤏
THE BUTLER IS BACK!!
Awwww yeah!!!!!
I'm happy for another David Butler video. That's the comment.
Oh we are so back!
All this makes perfect sense...so long as one ignores most of the James Webb Space telescope deep field observations.😃
👍💯
my christmas present 🥰
Mr. Butler, is it possible the Earth is heating due to a plunger effect assuming the Earth is on its way to the Sun’s equator?
I thought it was pretty neat that they localized the quasar to within the coverage spot of the moon, and thought that would be it. Why can't the ionized gas find electrons and become whole again?
Would the dark ages really have been dark? Wouldn't there be a glow in every direction from the to-be CMB while it was still in the orange or red, as the light from that moment continued to reach a given point in space? When did the CMB first leave the visible spectrum?
PS as everyone else says, David Butler's video books are superb. I just wish there were more of them.
If* there was a 'big bang' and all matter stemmed from that and expanded from there on outwards, wouldn't all galaxies light have been visible on the voyage outward as space expanded and the galaxies were still forming, and not have arrived at their current positions and then emit their light back towards the inner universe? (Just a non astronomers dumb ass question) 😉
The universe wasn't transparent for a long time so light was unable to travel through it. ▪️◾◼️⬛
(you don't need much of a theory to discard an idea where everything moving in seperate ways needs to have the excact same point of origin )
A new "How old is It"!!!! My favorite of the series! Thank you thank you thank you @howfarawayisit
The object is billions light years away, Earth motion for 70 mins can make a difference?

Is he really talking in every video himself? Because I think it sounds like he added his own voice to a voice-recorder that reads the text..
❤
Who's waiting for 2024 review
I'd like to watch the rest of the video but the music is killing my brain. Please have compassion on the neurodivergent!
I went to the effort to create music free version of every video. The link is in the notes under the video. Let me know if that helped.

Matter is Energy.
I guess you know it all and need to publish for us
Super interesting topic
Still grasping at straws and clinging to the big bang?
I love how he makes video books 📼📚
Also how the books don't acknowledge any video platforms.
