Sleepy brain says go to sleep but nerdy brain says must stay up and learn😩 But in all seriousness, thank you for helping me sleep and at the same time feeding my curiosity, these videos are top tier and are so very appreciated!
There is something about your Voice when you speak calmly and softly, it just makes me feel right at home. Like when I used to listen to my father reading bedtime stories - almost 20 years have gone and passed since then but still you bring this kind of feeling... Like when you fell asleep in your parents car after a long day, you wake up "on that final turn" right before getting home, pretending you still slept and your parents carry you home-to-bed-feeling
beautiful picture you painted jtao. ive been fortunate enough to have a few of those experiences being put to sleep by parents too. appreciate such a nice comment
I've been dealing with pretty bad insomnia lately, and being awake in the middle of the night has started to feel very lonely. While they might not always get me to sleep, your videos keep me company while I'm awake, and I appreciate that.
honestly i probably won't get to it just because i have so many other videos in the pipeline, but whales really are fascinating. maybe one day down the road jack. thanks for the comment
Thank you so much !!! I say thank you because I have suffered from stress and anxiety for years even more so since Covid and all the high stress, and issues that came along with it. I have found myself sleepless exhausted and panicked in every aspect of my life lately. Your content is a saving grace for me to have some normalcy in my brain, that finally let’s be distress, zone out and peacefully fall asleep. Lack of sleep and distressing is one of the last serious health concerns we have not completely touched upon as a human society. I think you have a major part in helping me and I’m and I’m sure many others finally, rest, relax, becalm and Sleep ❤
good sleep really is important for our health. im humbled you find some respite from these. i wish you the best in pursuing something powerful that makes it all worthwhile allan
One of the best programs in recent times. Guest was incredibly knowledgeable and impressive. Very well summarized in the last minute by the host. Enlightening discussion.
ASMR is the only type of video where the highest compliment i can give you is that i am never able to finish your videos because i fall asleep so quickly 😭I love your videos, your calm speaking voice is very comforting 🌱 i feel that listening to whispering for a long period of time can be a little too strenuous. Sadly, i get a little too much anxiety whenever learning about the universe, its just the infinity of time that freaks me out, we are here on this earth for less than a blink, its too much for my tiny human mind to comprehend. Would you maybe consider doing some videos about talking about philosophers or different philosophical viewpoints on things? Or maybe a video about the pyramids? I dont know, its hard to find topics that are interesting without being somewhat existential 😅
it is hard to ride that line. i like learning about obscure history and philosophy too, so maybe ill make something you'll like sooner or later. thans for the kind words regardless susi
@@LetsFindOut1 Thank you for your reply! I just wanted to write back to you and show more appreciation for the videos, because i feel like i didn't put enough emphasis on that :) We are all so grateful for the videos and the way they are made is perfection (the script is there but you're talking naturally about the topic which is very engaging, the lighting, the calm tone, the pace, the background, the pictures here and there). Its amazing that we have people on youtube who are true creators like yourself. Ever since my comment i decided to try to listen to your videos more as podcasts during the day, instead of when im falling asleep, and it was the best decision ever. Im able to listen more attentively obviously, and when i listen to the videos while cleaning and going for walks time just passes effortlessly and i feel twice as productive :)). Im practically an astronomer by now (i am not, i study medicine and still have no clue what a gamma ray is, but its nice to pretend i do while listening to the videos haha).
@@Susi_007 wow that was so thoughtful of you to say susi. seriously thanks. Made my day to hear your actually enjoying them for the information as much as the relaxation
@susi and i also appreciate that you can tell i'm trying to speak naturally. i don't care too much for videos that sound too much like they're being read straight off a script. so thanks for noticing 🙂
Nothing gives me the tingles the way the original Cosmos series does. For a literature and languages person who finds science quite challenging to comprehend, there is something so relaxing about cosmology in particular because it feels deeply mysterious to me. Thank you for this, I will likely enjoy it over several watches!
I am so glad you're back! Your videos always are obviously well made and high effort and they're super educating in a very easy to understand way, I appreciate the way you love to teach and learn yourself, and your energy is very calming, I could listen for hours. I want you to know you are doing a fantastic job and your effort is seen and appreciated. I watch your old videos frequently, anything from the Fermi Paradox and Kardashev scale ones to learning about the human brain. Thank you.
that made my day. thanks for compliments jerrell, i try my best to make what i learn was easy to understand but not overly simplified so thats awesome to hear you're enjoying it so much
This is absolutely extraordinary work my friend. I remember thinking when I was watching your previous video on the JWST that it was a masterpiece. And it was. But this incredible creation? There are no words strong enough. You have truly outdone yourself. Everything is perfection here: the narrative, production values, visuals, editing, etc. And all of this is on top of the tremendous amount of research and preparation that would be required for a project of this magnitude. This is one of the finest videos that I have ever seen on the topic of cosmology. Not just on TH-cam, but anywhere. Yes. It really is that good. And then their is your voice. I can say without hesitation that you have one of the finest voices that I have ever heard. Not just on TH-cam. Anywhere. And I teach voice, voice acting and acting. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to you for exploring this specific topic in particular. Even though I work in the arts, I have always had a great passion for the sciences. And I have a particular fascination with cosmology. When I watch/listen to phenomenal work such as this, I am always left with these incredible feelings of wonder and awe about this mysterious universe that we inhabit. I hope that you will continue to create beautiful and informative and inspiring works of art such as this one. You have a very real gift for this my friend. And forgive me if I am being presumptuous here, but I believe that you have found your calling. 🙏
that was a huge dose of encouragement charles. i put a lot into these last two videos so i appreciate the thoughtful comment. glad you enjoyed it so much
@@LetsFindOut1 I’m so glad that you found my words encouraging. That was my hope. I can tell that you put an enormous amount of your time, your energy, your intellect, your creativity and your SELF into these last two videos. And I wanted you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all of your efforts paid off big time. The results were nothing short of miraculous, and absolutely extraordinary. I really DO want to offer you very strong encouragement, because what you are doing here is immensely important. Your work touches the lives of literally millions of people. That’s millions and millions of people whom you are educating and edifying on these phenomenally important and awe inspiring topics such as cosmology and astronomy and biology and mathematics and all of the other amazing topics that you explore. So what you are doing here is immensely important. Just a few moments ago I read a comment from one of your followers that I really liked and I would very much like to add my voice to. And that is that you are a really great teacher. This is so true, and it’s why all of these videos are so successful. You have become a teacher and an educator who is sharing his knowledge with countless viewers who may have never been exposed to these topics if it were not for you. And perhaps I am a bit biased as a fellow teacher, but I see this as such an extraordinarily important mission. My hope is that you will embrace that mission, in whatever way works best for you. You have the opportunity to impact so many lives for the better. Be well my friend. 🙏
@@charles.e.g. i've been inspired by many teachers and educators, carl sagan among the foremost so i absolutely see the value in making information accessible and conveying just how fascinating nearly any subject can be if you talk deep enough. Thanks again, Charles.
@@LetsFindOut1 You said it so much better than me. Thank you for being able to decipher my message to you even when I got lost among the verbiage. It’s been a long and exhausting day for me. My core message: Please keep doing what you are doing, because you do it beautifully, intelligently and compellingly. 🙏
Astrophysicist here… I tend to avoid these types of videos because, without sounding arrogant, they usually go over these topics at such a surface level that I find them tedious and frustratingly boring. This was far from that… everything was extremely well described and to a level that made it engaging, even for someone that is well versed on these topics. I found myself gleefully nodding along as you began to delve into the ideas that I have been lucky enough to study in detail. What an extremely well made video, well done 👏
my boyfriend loves very fact heavy, scripted, fast paced, space videos that go over your head in small amounts of time. It's nice having a slower video without too much math and existential dread, that lets your thoughts wander in and out with the simpler vocabulary. I like how you occasional trip over your words, and pause to think, like a real person recalling what they know about space while wandering through topics. It's more conversational easy listening.
thats really nice of you to say nori. i don't prefer heavily scripted narration either, so i really appreciate the comment. makes the hard work worth it
im glad you said that. i dont care for documentaries that dumb it down so much that the actual data and science get lost in vague metaphors. we're all intelligent and we all deserve as close to the truth as people can speak about. thanks for the comment pb
i normally never comment but i have been falling asleep to your videos for over a year now and i genuinely love them! your voice is so soothing and it’s helps me get right to sleep. thank you for all the hard work!!!
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” ~ Einstein You have a gift of teaching. A true polymath 🙌The visuals were perfectly placed with the concepts you elucidated on and was harmonious from the Big Bang onwards 👏This was relaxing and thought provoking. You and The French Whisperer are my ❤🙏
Tiss a funny thing....in the past 6 months I have been watching a lot of physics lectures. I always loved science in High School I took chemistry, biology, but intentionally skipped physics ( I know stupid ). In college took Biology, Chemistry, Meterology, Botany, Trigonometry, Calculus, Botany...again avoiding Physics....grrrr. It took me till a few decades ago that it dawned on me that physics is the answer behind everything! So playing catch up now! I loved watching Cosmos, watched it every week! I am glad you have the book. I asked for it as a birthday gift one year but Dad could not find it and got me his next book. I still have it. I need to read it now, so many years later! So I have been listening to science lectures at night but like others fall asleep, but sometimes during the day will go back and re listen to videos. You have done such a great job with this video. I just found you last evening looking for info on dark matter. Dr. James Beacham states dark matter moves through us and we don’t ever know it, wonder what you think of that? I will definitely look at your other videos too! Keep up the stellar work! Also thank you very much!
The first two times through its an educational video....Only then can I use it to help with bedtime/sleep. Keep up the amazing work. And definitely liking the normal calm voice over the original more "whisper-ish/tapping" earlier versions. Of course that's just my personal preference but thought I'd mention. You should be so proud of the content (and topics) and the impact it has on people educationally, inspirationally and mental health/sleep wise. Tangible impact on thousands if not millions of lives. Never forget that. So....well.....thanks!
The quality and the animation in this video makes me think that this could be on TV as a documentary. One of my favorite of your videos behind the 10 terrifying facts. Love you man.
luckily nasa and the esa allow use of cgi and data material for educational content, so i'm fortunate to have great visuals to edit in. thanks for the love rf
I recently bought my first house and played all your videos while I painted the rooms and did some minor repair over the course of two months before fully moving in. Your videos are the best and are now forever part of my memory of my new home. I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved away. This video is so fitting for me to finally have made a comment with a Hawaiian name given to the super cluster. Thank you.
congrats on the house! And same. I really enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts while working around the house, but I'm super honored that you enjoyed my videos that much, enigma. really appreciate the comment.
The half photon to sand grain / plant cell to 10000 light years across blows my mind! Finally, you've given me an analogy I can somewhat grasp regarding the first instants of the big bang. Thank you!
Hey man, I don't exactly know how this would work, but if I could write out the closed captioning for all of your videos I would. Most ASMR I just fall asleep with, but this is so fascinating and you are great at making your videos true learning tools. I want that to be more accessible. As someone who is hard of hearing but loves soft spoken as well as absorbing all this amazing information, closed captions would be a real game changer in terms of truly understanding your videos and being able to follow along more accurately. I know it's tedious work, and you obviously already put in a tremendous amount of effort with filming and editing these videos, and I wouldn't mind watching every single one of them over and over, soooooo if you want a closed caption scribe and are willing to pay a meager amount to a lowly twentysomething artist who loves your work and could use just a little cash for the time used, hit me up. It would be an absolute pleasure to type everything you say and really commit the facts to memory.
I remember when you could just type up captions for a video and they appeared if the creator approved of em… but hell, kudos for the confidence, monsieur phoenix!
@@we-must-live Thanks lol :) I'm sure that's still a possibility, but to be fair, these are 3 and sometimes 5 hour long videos. Doesn't hurt to ask a lil compensation eh haha
i can't afford to pay much right now phoenix, but i'm open to discussing that. I do enjoy reading captions sometimes too for more esoteric or technical stuff. email me and maybe we can arrive at something that mutually works. thanks for the kind words as well
@@we-must-live This is a very long video. If someone spent the hours typing and creating closed captions to contribute to this product, they should be paid.
I LOVE this!!! I'm a big fan of your soft spoken voice. The bass in it is so good! (whispering is okay, it just doesn't give me tingles). Thank you so much for all your hard work. And congratulations on welcoming your second baby girl into this world! ❤
TFW you find a channel that hits all the right notes, a perfect blend of amazing science with articulate, relaxing narration and ASMR themes. I could see this video and I spending a lot of time together over the next year. Thank you!
Pondering often during my 20s on the subject of why, how, is there a universe... and how miraculous it is... If you really think about it.. then I started to grasp with the concept.. what if there was no universe? nothing, no energy, no universe anywhere ever... and that was even more impossible to grasp any explanation for than grasping some understanding of the universe as it is that we witness... I believe we will never ever fully explain this universe... and it doesn't matter whether we do or not... It's just amazing that there is anything of any description to be in awe of regarding this universe.. It is however an enjoyable journey as we find what is slowly uncovered and to ponder the theories that people deliver...
I absolutely love your videos! I even listen to them during the day when I'm doing things like going for a walk, household chores . Your voice is very relaxing. Keeps me grounded. Thank you!!! This is anti anxiety medicine!!
You are incredible at explaining complex ideas that are accessible to all. In one video you explain complex ideas I have been struggling with for years. Every video a learning gem
Thank you for comforting my mind! And thank you for your hard work to make this. I’m going to watch the full video in several parts. (btw. I really appreciate the small “interruptions” of humor here and there.)
Proof that you don't need a degree to justify your knowledge 💯. Reading and studying on your own time is fundamental to ongoing education , for life . I studied accounting for my career , but I do enjoy history , science , architecture, archeology, and other studies.. Astronomy is fascinating, as well ! Thank you!! 19:33
Man, I really loved the part where he uploaded a video about drawing my favorite planet, Venus. that really made my day, no, my whole week. I've been waiting so long for a definitive lore video on the planet Venus from my favorite ASMR youtuber, Let's Find Out. Oh wait... For real though, great video, always love your content and cant wait for the next one
Rich, your videos are unbelievable! I've been part of the ASMR community since before it was called that 😅The JWST and this video are among the absolute best ever.
You have one of the highest quality of content on youtube, perfectly balanced between relaxing and very educative, Every single one of your videos has sooo much information and is just very interesting to sit ,relax and listen, I was listening to this one while i was preparing for my Physics exam thats comming up very soon, it felt like there couldn't have been anything better playing on while i do the work. Thankyou soooo much for your awesome videos, you'r the best!!!
I was so happy to see the intro video that starts with the subatomic and zooming out. I saw that when I was a child in about 1972 on a field trip to the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry. Made a huge impression in me, invoking sense of AWE and undoubtedly one of the things that influenced my career choices in the sciences. So fun to see it again, thank you! I look forward to seeing the rest.
I've already commented but man I gotta tell ya, I love the work you put into this vid specifically. Alot of 💤 with all your vids that's a given 😂 but all the extra pics with the slideshow format and you breaking it down...👌 Magnifico!
I fell asleep watching a guy tear apart phones. And suddenly i found myself having wild dreams about space exploration 😂 woke up to this playing. What a blast. Thanks.
omg when i found this channel i was in uni and now i have a full time job in finance. thank u for this video!!!! i’ll be able to listen while i work on excel sheets :D
18:51 I was asleep. YT algorithm brought be here. I was awoken by what seemed to be Carl Sagan’s voice. Now I’m riveted & can’t get back to sleep. You’ve answered a few nagging questions of mine in the first few mins. This is wonderful! Well done! Whoa, wait! While I’m typing this you’re discussing the theory of curvature of universe presenting images of our own galaxy. 🤯
Time is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city complain about the same time paradox unless it was effected by it. Maybe a time distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of time distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're randomly given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? Ti-i-i-ime, is on my side. Yes, it is!
Out of all of the asmr channels and artist This one is my favorite And not just because I also love astronomy But because it's the only asmr that helps me relax filled with facts information and relaxation

Yes. Love the new drops. The content and the voice. Not even an asmr fan but this is pure gold.
really appreciate that Keith
The first two times through its an educational video....Only then can I use it to help with bedtime/sleep. Keep up the amazing work. And definitely liking the normal calm voice over the original more "whisper-ish/tapping" earlier versions. Of course that's just my personal preference but thought I'd mention. You should be so proud of the content (and topics) and the impact it has on people educationally, inspirationally and mental health/sleep wise. Tangible impact on thousands if not millions of lives. Never forget that. So....well.....thanks!
i'm trying to find a balance between the two types of speaking, so I appreciate that you enjoyed this kind here. and thanks for the encouraging words
Can’t wait to listen to this tonight!
The quality and the animation in this video makes me think that this could be on TV as a documentary. One of my favorite of your videos behind the 10 terrifying facts. Love you man.
luckily nasa and the esa allow use of cgi and data material for educational content, so i'm fortunate to have great visuals to edit in. thanks for the love rf
Love the picture of fritz!! 😂
lol he seemed like a good time to be around didn't he
I recently bought my first house and played all your videos while I painted the rooms and did some minor repair over the course of two months before fully moving in. Your videos are the best and are now forever part of my memory of my new home. I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved away. This video is so fitting for me to finally have made a comment with a Hawaiian name given to the super cluster. Thank you.
congrats on the house! And same. I really enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts while working around the house, but I'm super honored that you enjoyed my videos that much, enigma. really appreciate the comment.
I can't count how many times I've watched this video but it has become my nightly lullaby. Thank you for the incredible content.
thanks for the kind comment vincent
The half photon to sand grain / plant cell to 10000 light years across blows my mind! Finally, you've given me an analogy I can somewhat grasp regarding the first instants of the big bang.
Thank you!
Hey man, I don't exactly know how this would work, but if I could write out the closed captioning for all of your videos I would. Most ASMR I just fall asleep with, but this is so fascinating and you are great at making your videos true learning tools. I want that to be more accessible. As someone who is hard of hearing but loves soft spoken as well as absorbing all this amazing information, closed captions would be a real game changer in terms of truly understanding your videos and being able to follow along more accurately. I know it's tedious work, and you obviously already put in a tremendous amount of effort with filming and editing these videos, and I wouldn't mind watching every single one of them over and over, soooooo if you want a closed caption scribe and are willing to pay a meager amount to a lowly twentysomething artist who loves your work and could use just a little cash for the time used, hit me up. It would be an absolute pleasure to type everything you say and really commit the facts to memory.
I remember when you could just type up captions for a video and they appeared if the creator approved of em… but hell, kudos for the confidence, monsieur phoenix!
@@we-must-live Thanks lol :) I'm sure that's still a possibility, but to be fair, these are 3 and sometimes 5 hour long videos. Doesn't hurt to ask a lil compensation eh haha
i can't afford to pay much right now phoenix, but i'm open to discussing that. I do enjoy reading captions sometimes too for more esoteric or technical stuff. email me and maybe we can arrive at something that mutually works. thanks for the kind words as well
@@we-must-live This is a very long video. If someone spent the hours typing and creating closed captions to contribute to this product, they should be paid.
I just turned on CC in YOU TUBE...?!?!
I LOVE this!!! I'm a big fan of your soft spoken voice. The bass in it is so good! (whispering is okay, it just doesn't give me tingles). Thank you so much for all your hard work. And congratulations on welcoming your second baby girl into this world! ❤
i'm so glad you like the soft spoken stuff L thanks for the super thoughtful comment and the congrats. We're so blessed with our little family.
if you were a teacher for all subjects i would’ve finished high school cause you make everything so much interesting with the vibe , thank you 🙏
thanks for the compliment brandon. its an honor to be called a good teacher
TFW you find a channel that hits all the right notes, a perfect blend of amazing science with articulate, relaxing narration and ASMR themes. I could see this video and I spending a lot of time together over the next year. Thank you!
thanks for the kind words mw
Barely even a minute in and I just love how on point your Sagan voice is. Can't wait to watch this video 100 times and never actually finish it.
another upload from Rich 😫 everytime i see it it’s a blessing
thanks for watching ainsi
@@LetsFindOut1 my pleasure
My knowledge about space exploded since when i started watching you.
yea! 🙏🏽
I woke up to this video at 3am this morning and it was fantastic. This is remarkable work. Thank you.
You are amazing. I absolutely love your vidoes about planets and our universe.
Pondering often during my 20s on the subject of why, how, is there a universe... and how miraculous it is... If you really think about it.. then I started to grasp with the concept.. what if there was no universe? nothing, no energy, no universe anywhere ever... and that was even more impossible to grasp any explanation for than grasping some understanding of the universe as it is that we witness... I believe we will never ever fully explain this universe... and it doesn't matter whether we do or not... It's just amazing that there is anything of any description to be in awe of regarding this universe.. It is however an enjoyable journey as we find what is slowly uncovered and to ponder the theories that people deliver...
Anyone else notice the Universe Sandbox 2 “Darkness/Track two” theme?
Your one of my favorite Asmr channels! I love your 4 hour book opening video! So relaxing and long
Glad you enjoy it ry. ill be making more casual videos like that soon
I absolutely love your videos! I even listen to them during the day when I'm doing things like going for a walk, household chores . Your voice is very relaxing. Keeps me grounded. Thank you!!! This is anti anxiety medicine!!
I missed this channel so much, feels like I’m returning to a childhood favourite tv show omg. Glad to be back
You are incredible at explaining complex ideas that are accessible to all. In one video you explain complex ideas I have been struggling with for years. Every video a learning gem
thanks for the kind comment tracy. that's awesome hearing it helped you understand a little better
Thank you for comforting my mind! And thank you for your hard work to make this. I’m going to watch the full video in several parts. (btw. I really appreciate the small “interruptions” of humor here and there.)
makes my day that you appreciate my goofy humor. I try to make a point to not take myself too seriously with these videos.
This is some cool stuff, and what's funny is that I ain't even watching for the asmr, I'm watching for the info. Space is amazing
glad you enjoy it so much. thanks for the comment hawk
@@LetsFindOut1 no problem man :3
Proof that you don't need a degree to justify your knowledge 💯. Reading and studying on your own time is fundamental to ongoing education , for life . I studied accounting for my career , but I do enjoy history , science , architecture, archeology, and other studies.. Astronomy is fascinating, as well ! Thank you!! 19:33
Hey rich just wanted to say I love your work and hope everything in your life is ok and not too stressful 🙏
it's not too stressful tian. thanks for the encouragement i appreciate it
Rich made a new video, I'm going to sleep so well tonight! Thank you so much my friend!
thanks for watching Martin
@@LetsFindOut1 The pleasure is all mine.
It's truly a shame most people don't watch your full videos, the amount of work and research that clearly goes into them is astounding
appreciate that gregg
Can't wait to watch when I'm not trying to sleep.
🙌 I hope you get to make the next 'Cosmos' documentary.
lol
Man, I really loved the part where he uploaded a video about drawing my favorite planet, Venus. that really made my day, no, my whole week. I've been waiting so long for a definitive lore video on the planet Venus from my favorite ASMR youtuber, Let's Find Out.
Oh wait...
For real though, great video, always love your content and cant wait for the next one
Rich, your videos are unbelievable! I've been part of the ASMR community since before it was called that 😅The JWST and this video are among the absolute best ever.
I wanted to watch the whole video because it's very interesting but your voice is so relaxing that I fell asleep
I honestly believe we live in the aftermath of a extreme ultramasdive blackhole signularity explosion
Finnaly another banger! You got me interested in this stuff happy you back
honored i got you into astronomy. thanks for the donation md
Of course I’m so happy you responded you def my favorite TH-cam, excited for bed tonight 😆
I have no idea when I'll fit this in but I'm sure this will be the usual gold standard...from the no1 ASMR artist I know!
thanks d
Yeah honestly, this gave me my most focused 3 hours of my life, loved it man, you know i always fancied the cosmos and this mate, this is exactly why
You taking over for David Butler and helping me actually sleep 😭😭😭😢
You don’t know how much this means to help me sleep without medication dude.
thats a huge compliment. Butler is the goat
I woke up and was halfway through this, restarted it and am going to give it the listen it deserves from the start. thanks
thanks for the listen a
Been watching you since 2019. Very happy that you are getting a lot of views. Your videos are so creative !
I'd love to see your videos made into a audio only mode and put on to Spotify
The weekend bender I’m recovering from before work tomorrow🤝3 hours of relaxing knowledge of the universe
best asmr channel with a fresh upload
lets go
sundays always mess with my anxiety
this is perfect
Clearing my schedule for this treat. Thanks, Rich!
lol nice thanks for watching verite
You have one of the highest quality of content on youtube, perfectly balanced between relaxing and very educative, Every single one of your videos has sooo much information and is just very interesting to sit ,relax and listen, I was listening to this one while i was preparing for my Physics exam thats comming up very soon, it felt like there couldn't have been anything better playing on while i do the work. Thankyou soooo much for your awesome videos, you'r the best!!!
I was so happy to see the intro video that starts with the subatomic and zooming out. I saw that when I was a child in about 1972 on a field trip to the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry. Made a huge impression in me, invoking sense of AWE and undoubtedly one of the things that influenced my career choices in the sciences. So fun to see it again, thank you! I look forward to seeing the rest.
i agree. it's a powerful way to visualize the levels of scale
Couldn't tell you the last night I haven't played your vids.. My favorite subject and the way you put things together .... 👌
I've already commented but man I gotta tell ya, I love the work you put into this vid specifically. Alot of 💤 with all your vids that's a given 😂 but all the extra pics with the slideshow format and you breaking it down...👌
Magnifico!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and I had no idea that I was even looking for it
One of these days I'm going to fall asleep to one of your videos and wake up with a masters degree in astrophysics.
this video is truly as incredible as our existence
❤️🙏🏽
Omgosh... So excited for this! This will be several nights of ASMR space bliss!
I fell asleep watching a guy tear apart phones.
And suddenly i found myself having wild dreams about space exploration 😂 woke up to this playing. What a blast. Thanks.
This guy is like a super chill Carl Sagan. I fell asleep in my chair. Awesome content too.
omg when i found this channel i was in uni and now i have a full time job in finance. thank u for this video!!!! i’ll be able to listen while i work on excel sheets :D
that's awesome you've stuck with me for so long. thanks luna
I do NOT mean this in any disparaging way, but this is the best way to go to sleep, no medications needed! And I learn something in the process.
Happy Easter!!!
You too!
Glad to see another video drop! I'll definitely be listening to this over the next several nights. Thanks for all you do! Cheers
yw thanks for the support gt
Such a soft voice
I’m gonna use this to fall asleep tonight
Love Carl Sagan. You did it right too, you HAVE to get an early hardback of Cosmos, if you get a paperback you actually lose all the photos.
Amazing content. Loved it
Thank you for all your work and passion 👍🏾
Just what I needed to go to bed, thanks man I love going through your videos
glad to help. thanks for the support pr
It was worth the wait, you always do an amazing job.
thanks Denzel I appreciate it
18:51 I was asleep. YT algorithm brought be here. I was awoken by what seemed to be Carl Sagan’s voice. Now I’m riveted & can’t get back to sleep.
You’ve answered a few nagging questions of mine in the first few mins.
This is wonderful! Well done!
Whoa, wait! While I’m typing this you’re discussing the theory of curvature of universe presenting images of our own galaxy. 🤯
Thank you for your wondrous intonation! You and I float & learn & frolic together every time it's bedtime. I ❤U. A brilliant mind you have.
thanks for the love
I love these videos so much, they're always so insightful and interesting :)
These long videos are the absolute best
This is definitely nice to fall asleep to 😴
Really appreciate all of the work you do on these videos. I always look forward to new uploads
thanks for the appreciation Alan. means alot
Time is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city complain about the same time paradox unless it was effected by it. Maybe a time distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of time distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're randomly given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? Ti-i-i-ime, is on my side. Yes, it is!
Havent visited your channel in a while, and glad i did. Production value on this is great. Thank you. Hope you're well
2 hours past my bedtime, and I can't turn this off! Truly amazing. 😍
Yay, let me get my popcorn and get ready to watch, glad to see you uploaded new stuff 😎🤗
lol hope you enjoyed it athena. always appreciate your support
I enjoyed it thoroughly and learned a lot, ty for always making amazing content 💯
"Asmr" is about the very last thing I'm into, but what you do is very nice. I appreciate your work. Thanks for making and sharing it.
Out of all of the asmr channels and artist
This one is my favorite
And not just because I also love astronomy
But because it's the only asmr that helps me relax filled with facts information and relaxation
thanks for the nice comment sebastian
You should make a video detailing your research process. Id find that really interesting considerinf how in depth these videos are.
i appreciate the interest. there's not much more to it than starting on wikipedia and exploring hyperlinks and sources. pretty scatterbrained tbh
