The drums and rattles are used in the soundtrack of a few shows on the Discovery Channel. The shows where I found them are Season 2 of Survivorman (2007) and in Season 1 of Man vs. Wild (2006-2007). Here, the sample is accelerated about 1.20x. It's played in Survivorman for example here: th-cam.com/video/yNxro4Nn_Ok/w-d-xo.html and in Man vs. Wild, here: th-cam.com/video/mGlY6TGJvxU/w-d-xo.html
When I heard this music during the Veritasium video about the black hole photo, I nearly cried. To be among humankind's incredible noble and far-reaching coordinated efforts of understanding, I was moved.
It's Veritasium's Music! I've been looking for this for *so* long!!! I love Derek's sense of music :) It is truly a piece of divine music that has been created by wonder and curiosity.
@@aarshpatel2000whoa derek's been doing his thing and using this same music for 9+ years? dam thats like 2014 like when i say 2014 it makes sense but 9 years has it been that long since 2014???
Intellectual property is a weird thing. There's no question this song is royalty-free thus "owned by everyone", but at the same time it's undeniably Derek's song
One of Derek's real life friend always says Derek's name wrong, and also the channel name. That is one of more known wrong ways to say it. Inside joke for the cool kids at Hello Internet.
This music in context of Veritasium is associated for me with glimpse of hope for humanity called science. The one thing we can at least hope to resolve our problems and give us the answers to our questions.
The percussion is (as far as i can tell) the same as the (very distinctive)percussion in this song from Halo Reach: Halo Reach Soundtrack - Overture That part of the song is heard frequently in the Firefight mode, for those of you who know the game.
its also used in part 2 of Neon lights of Halo 3 ODST. Which is what I think Halo: Reach took inspiration from th-cam.com/video/Dcg0Im9F_JI/w-d-xo.html
HOLY SHIT! This is it? 2 and a half years of searching. Thank the Gods. I heard it in the video that Veritasium did about the High Jump techniques. This truly is a great day.
+D - Rob IKR when i first heard of it, i was like DANG WHAT IS THIS MUSIC, and noone responded, so i had to find out myself, this really should have more views
OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAD TO DO TO FIND THIS. 1) asked Veritasium what it's called. "Observation 2." 2) searched Epidemicsound. That title doesn't exist anymore. 3) searched through all of the 'mysterious' and 'relaxed' moods to find nothing. 4) googled "observation 2'. Found "Observation 1" by Gunnar Johnsen. 5) searched through YT through a crap ton of music by Gunnar Johnsen. Nothing. 6) went through various Veritasium videos looking for that theme playing behind speech that wasn't too loud. 7) recorded part of the song. 8) uploaded that part to Audacity. Split it to mono and inverted half of it. 9) downloaded "Shazam." Played it for my phone until it found a title. 10) searched for that title here and OH MY GOD HERE IT IS 3 FKING HOUR LATER. I am nothing if not determined to find something that really resonates with me. Now to listen to this an unhealthy amount to times to make sure that emotion really drives home, and work on the scene in my novel this would be in the OST for. jfc.
I played it backwards, the instrument they use for that odd sound, is a xylophone, in reverse. So, in reverse it sounds right, but the other half is backwards, so it kinda sounds the same, but definitely different.

I was looking for this music because of Veritasium. Then I checked the composer and it seemed a familiar name. Checked him on Spotify and I think is the same composer that did Ori and The Blind Forest game. If you haven’t played the game or heard the OST, I highly recommend.
music like this is inherently spiritual... there is a substance, an essence, something beyond mere creativity, we are tapping into something we do not yet understand...
@@averagelizard2489 no i think it is, i think harmonics plays a much greater role in the universe then we realize. and i think melody is a spectrum that taps into higher dimensions and expresses things we dont even realize, what we feel emotionally is actually a product of something external.
It's the same for me! Derek made me fall in love with those branches of science and even more same as Michael Stevens, and probably that's for you too. And since this music is his hallmark, I guess that's why :)

This is what solving a differential equation sounds like.
Haha yep
lol
you should combine mark rober and veratasium
I’m working on differential equations for my “mathematical methods for physics” class rn
Always try e^x
Play this on my funeral with Veritasium explaining what happens after we die.
then you cant be with all your ears
😂
lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Only Allah knows that!
This song describes the feeling of Discovery, Personal Realities shattering, and Intrigue.
Veritasium chose well.
Well said

I love how this song also works when played in reverse. Those bells are something else
it really works!
You’re right, it sounds fantastic!
How are you listening to it in reverse?
Everyone's like "Oh my god, I finally found it"
I literally looked up "veritasium theme" and found it
Same lol
Yea me too
Because earlier this video did not have Veritasium in the title.
Me too lol
I searched _Veritasium music_ lol
I feel smart when I hear this song.

Wow!
@@utkarshsaini5650Most animals can't understand music. This is just random noise to them.

It is truly a piece of divine music that has been created by wonder and curiosity.
Typing "veritasium background music" into Google came out trumps on the very top result. Surely it couldn't have taken you that long?

The drums are from the Halo Reach theme
I wasn't the only one who caught this, thank you.
Yes! I noticed it too! It's like identical!
He's now one of the people working on music for halo infinite!
I was literally just thinking that!!!
I’ve literally searched through so many videos and sites just to find someone else who noticed this. Thought it would be more noticeable to people.
I wonder how much of an impact this song has in the success of Veritasium!
actually bro... so true
Literally changes the whole vibe when you hear it in the closing 5 minutes of his videos. It's a very special song for sure.
wow I didnt know it was by Gareth Coker, he also did the Ori and the blind forest/will of the wisps soundtracks. No wonder its so good!
He did ark survival evolved too. Turely a talent
He made the soundtracks for a ton of maps and minigames on Minecraft's legacy console editions as well!
Hey Veritasium! Derek here..
or am I??
*Music Plays*
kek
it goes both ways including...
Hey Vsauce! Michael here..
or am I??
*Music Plays*
Nice try Michael, I love your work man!
And you won't become Michael Stevens.
vsauce, veritasium here
I’m actually doing partial differential equations while listening and to this
error 12:
To perfect
Good choice
Who would've guessed that the composer responsible for the Ori soundtracks is also behind this masterpiece
This song is utterly amazing.
Comments from the old days are so wholesome, awww
This music embodies the word "awestruck". That's why it goes so well with science videos.
Every time Derek (Veritasium) plays this in his video, I know he's gonna drop some science facts.
Gareth Coker: creates music for the Ori games
Also Gareth Coker: Veritasium!!!
Hallo din tulling😂
@@emojoh1888 æ hadd glæmt den replyen lol
When I hear this.....my hunger for knowledge grows larger and larger. Thanks Derek~
2:42 god this bit is so good it makes me happy
sounds just as great in reverse
Feels like General Relativity smashed our understanding of Physics and we are starting from scratch.

This music in context of Veritasium is associated for me with glimpse of hope for humanity called science. The one thing we can at least hope to resolve our problems and give us the answers to our questions.
A bit of humility from everyone (especially the people in charge lf the world) would also go a long way.
Veritasium only uses this song in most of his videos. I LOVE THEM BOTH!
Finally... I found it.
And it was composed by my favourite composer too
The percussion is (as far as i can tell) the same as the (very distinctive)percussion in this song from Halo Reach: Halo Reach Soundtrack - Overture
That part of the song is heard frequently in the Firefight mode, for those of you who know the game.
that explains why it sounded so familiar
***** It's cool, i still remember this comment every time i finish a Veritasium video.
same 'ere
its also used in part 2 of Neon lights of Halo 3 ODST. Which is what I think Halo: Reach took inspiration from th-cam.com/video/Dcg0Im9F_JI/w-d-xo.html
specifically, if you play this song at 1.15x speed you'd get the exact same percussion tempo
Veritasium!
sorry about the arm mace :D
I played this in my speaker now my dog is trying to figure out theory of everything with some undecipherable equations
This song leads me to imagine the beauty and the mysteries of the universe and how insignificant we are.
HOLY SHIT! This is it? 2 and a half years of searching. Thank the Gods. I heard it in the video that Veritasium did about the High Jump techniques. This truly is a great day.

Took me 5 seconds with a Google search.

"Veritasium Music" ....
You could've literally searched veritasium theme-_-
Hello people from 2014
This puts a smile on my face
Veritasium.
I love you ;)
This is a fine piece of music can't stop hearing this and it boosts my creativity
yes! finally found this song, now i can code while listening to something epic.
I think this song is a masterpiece
I suddenly felt i am on the verge of knowing all secrets of the Universe
I love the reverses vibes sample, it’s like my favourite element of the song. 🌊
Listening to this while zooming into the mandelbrot set ...forever.........
when you hear this song you know veritasium is about to drop a knowledge bomb
Omg yes!!! It's like the Interstaller theme where it's good all by itself
OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAD TO DO TO FIND THIS.
1) asked Veritasium what it's called. "Observation 2."
2) searched Epidemicsound. That title doesn't exist anymore.

I heard this in 1 of veratasium's videos and im so addicted now
8 years ago .
If I had to describe this song on a single word it would be perspective.
I more like this song when Veritasium says mysterious stuff 😄
How ironic, he uses a drum sample halo uses. now he works on Halo
It had to be made by Gareth Coker, What a fucking genius.
The "everything is connect in a way and it all makes sense now" song.
just finished a boatload of studying to this song, feel like im drifting to sleeppasv,asvasovm,vv'amskidddddddddddddd
