How in the hell does this man only have 112K subscribers. Any person in the world can get a free basic understanding of what science knows about the universe by watching these video books. ITS FREE! Take some time, watch them a few times, and his voice is perfect for narration. He should be reading audio books for a living. He should have 100 million subscribers.
Subscriber numbers have a lot to do with how much TH-cam promotes the channel. Amazing channels that don’t play YT game in advertising, etc., can sit in obscurity for years.
Don Cresswell - I see “Learn’t” used every now and then... I remember the first time seeing it years ago. I did a google search to find its commonly used in the UK. Here in the USA we say “Learned” as the root word is “Learn” adding “ed” at the end making it past tense... Using “Learn’t” in an American English class usually provokes a harsh scolding...
Most of the world says learnt and you dont need a comma when spelling it either. Its correct English. If you think its funny consider dropping the H from herb isnt standard English, and Americans say mobile like the E doesnt exist. Mobil. But e changes the vowel, kit, kite, bit, bite. Even smile. But for some reason Americans fuck up a lot of words and phrases. "On accident" instead of "by accident" I say some reason. Languages change and morph with time. English used to be Anglish and has had many vowel shifts. The K wasnt always silent in knight etc etc. So really there is no correct English. Thats why youtube lets you select your English type
I am obsessed with astronomy/astrophysics/cosmology and adore your beautiful and informative videos. Thank you. Also, and this is high praise from one who suffers from insomnia, your voice and music choices are so relaxing that you help me nod off to sleep. (I go back and rewatch the next day.)
Same here. Great videos that I can use to help unwind and go to sleep only after watching one time. If I've not seen it then I have to watch it at least once. 😁
Outstanding, ethereal, beautiful video! Really does a great job of conveying the scale and sheer grandeur of the universe (or at least 7% of it :) And your narration is very soothing and fits perfectly! Thank you for this lovely piece of work
The sky is beautiful without zooming in, it becomes a wonderful scene and a frightening place with telescopes zooming in! Thank you Dr Butler for these informative-illustrated-images (I3). I really enjoyed watching this video.
This makes me feel like I am sitting in a planetarium, especially the way the visuals zoom in and out and the classical music BG. Plus it's a nice meditation just trying to imagine the distances and numbers of stars and galaxies. Very enjoyable and educational at the same time!
David, you are so good at explaining the complex workings of the solar system/galaxies/distances/etc. I'm learning more from you, than most other talented 'TH-cam' creators, on these same topics. Thank you for your work.. Greg
It blows my mind the fact that even light struggles in the vastness of the universe, knowing that is is big, possibly even infinite and, continues to expand is somehow depreesing.
Photons travel at the speed of light, since they _are_ light, and photons also have no mass. Therefore, zero time passes between when a photon is emitted, and when it reaches a destination such as a telescope mirror, and your eye. Thus, as far as the photon is concerned, it takes no time at all for it to arrive at its destination, regardless how far away that may be! If we could transfer the consciousness within the human mind into pure information, and encode this as photons or light, perhaps our human essence could indeed 'travel' almost anywhere, and do so in no time at all, relative to any stationary clock. There's absolutely no reason to be depressed: We don't yet know what we don't know. - j q t -
@@sammyjoe2390 It's obviously impossible if the expansion hypothesis is correct. At least with any sort of normal Euclidian travel where you'd need fuel and velocity and things. Maybe if you could somehow figure out a way to teleport. But even then you'd probably have to send something there first. Not that I know how teleporting works, but that would make sense to me. Some sort of receptacle would need to be positioned first. Anyway, it's impossible. I'm just gonna go with that.
@@quill444 I don't think that is correct... What we are observing now is mostly no longer what it was, due to the extreme distance... I'm not positive either, I think they are currently analyzing those theories as well... Not sure how a photon can infinitely continue the vast distances without losing an undetermined velocity...
Your videos are awesome. I put them on before bed and even though your voice and the pictures of space are relaxing, I always stay up too late learning.
Thank you, Mr. Butler, I have enjoyed and apprecaited so much for all your videos... not only are they very educational, but also so well made and well presented. Thank you so very much , you are truly awesome! (I recently entered my retirement, and can't stop watching your videos which I have learned so much about ... thank you)
Omg. I saw you posted another long one while I was at work and was so excited. I love your segments. I seem to learn quite a bit. I have issues with certain teaching methods and I always seem to grasp what you're saying.
@@MonroeSim Do you mean the picture of my profile? It's a picture of the supermassive black hole at the core of supergiant elliptical galaxy Messier 87. David covers it in his 2019 review.
I re-watch these videos over and over. As new data comes through the JWT, we will be most grateful if you could update us on some of these amazing structures in the universe…mind blowing indeed …1 billion light years away…it’s just insane to think of those distances! We are pretty small!!!
I can remember back to before the launch of the Hubble telescope being told how much this new instrument would advance our knowledge; a more accurate, reliable estimate to the age of the universe etc. There was no mention of the staggering beauty of the images it would relay back to Earth : )
Yeah I love David's Channel this is the best astronomy Channel on TH-cam for sure I can't wait for James Webb Telescope to start producing pictures and hopefully David will profile those....
250,000 trillion stars, hard to imagine how planets may be near those stars - truly amazing. We should think much harder about what we have and who we are.
David great stuff! kindly discuss how the quasars differ from black holes and shed light on why everything we see out there is not as they are now but as they were millions of years ago. lastly pls discuss the problem with the red shift and what could be its implication
There are too many comments for David to read all and to answer all. So I want to help out. Black holes are in the center of all galaxies and when gas or dust or any large amount of material falls into it, Big jets of oinized material are ejected north and South from the Black hole plus a powerfull beam of High energy light. This light beam makes a very distant Galaxy very visible to us and we Call this Galaxy a quazar and use them to learn about the size and history of space Because it takes billions of years for light to travel through our observable Universe, the “pictures” we see now of far galaxies are of how things were when the light began its jurney towards us and not what it looks like Right now. If red shift tells us how far galaxies are apart because we have acurately observed the rate at wich the Universe is expanding, then some red shift observations are hard to explain. Maybe the Universe is expanding different rates locally.. maybe there is more to learn about physics, or maybe our imagination is not able to figure out the corect interpretation of the data. But I am shure if humanity keeps looking for answers and keep wanting to understand, we Will find out about it one day :)
Excellent video book! Thank you David Butler!!! Our universe is very interesting... if only we could travel to these places, or send probes for a different view of our universe other than from Earth. I am excited about the launch and information we will have from the James Webb telescope.
Regarding the great attractor - in every other circumstance, objects are not moving towards the source of gravity, but transverse to it. So the attractor is not in the direction of motion, but perpendicular to it
Thank you sir for expanding my understanding. I used to think the galaxies were uniform in distribution. I am still trying to figure out if black holes are related to star formation in any way. The way the galaxies flow to the larger attractors whether or not they are orbiting as well in this flow. And am curious to know if the Di-pole repeller is responsible in some way as well
Those galaxies moving so fast. Could one say the time is moving slower there than in a neighbor galaxy standing "still" in space ? Or does it need to be smaller "objects" moving in "still" space to get that effect ?
I love your content and find the information fascinating, The voids you mention, are they actually void or is it that, as with Hubble deep space images, there are galaxies in the voids but they are so far away, their light hasnt had time to reach us, in terms of the observable universe?
We will always be stuck on earth in our own galaxy. The nearest galaxy to us is Andromeda and it’s 2.5m light years away. Even IF we could travel at the speed of light and survive traveling at those speeds, it would still take 2.5mil years to get to this closest neighboring galaxy. Mind blowing.
If we could travel at the speed of light then time would stop... so there’s that at least For the traveler, the trip wouldn’t take long at all I do agree, we are stranded here forever Mars will never be colonized It’s totally unsuitable for human life So unless we stop fighting each other and work towards leaving this solar system I don’t see that happening either
Where did all of this matter come from? the amount of matter in our galaxy is mind blowing. Then you look at rest of the universe. The amount of matter that exists is unbelievable. I would love to know where it all came from.
Good gracious, your. Calmly voice is so majestical ,flows with the music and video.. The universe blows my mind and its so vast and incredible impressive. Who designed this shit 😳
Astronomy writer Terence Dickinson pointed out that if you were plucked and left anywhere in the universe, at random, 99 times out of 100 you'd be in cold, black emptiness with maybe a faint smudge of distant galactic lights here and there.
Mr Butler, we're extremely fortunate to have you.

Do these galaxies still exist out there in “deep space” or have they long disappeared or become something entirely different? How do we know this?

Why is NGC 3314A and NGC 3314B not gravitationally “lensing”? Perfectly aligned, one in front of the other.
One galaxy has insufficient mass to make a difference. It takes galaxy clusters with thousands of galaxies to do the light bending.
His mouth is watering talking about this
