I teach geography, history, religion, social science and physical education.
Way too many subjects if you ask me...
I don't claim to be an expert in any of these subjects, I still have to remind myself of everything now and again.

Thank you for watching!
I tried to add my thoughts throught the video but struggled a bit with english :)
If you liked the video, a like or a sub you mean the world to me.
Take care!
Don't be so strict with yourself. English might not be my native language either but your english seems perfect.
Your English is perfect. So what if you don't know ALL of the technical terms. That's not your field of study or profession. Nor is it mine! 😀
Hey man! Thanks for the vid! :) The beginning part of the video is indeed mostly Physics, and even then, it's theoretical Physics which... Yeah, not exactly easy to follow especially given the video does not focus on this and thus oversimplifies it and very much assumes you're familiar with the concepts.
So first of all the part about the nothing having never been anywhere.
That part is part Physics and part Philosophy. "Nothing is not, and cannot ever be" is a quote attributed to the Greek Philosopher Parmenides which kind of stuck as a definition for nothing because it is, indeed correct. It just makes talking about "Nothing" very weird, as you cannot say "Before the Universe, there was nothing". There was not Nothing, because Nothing cannot be. So as the video says "Nothing was never anywhere". Then Bill goes to the colloquial way of speaking about it saying "That's why it was Everywhere". But you don't need a "When" or a "Where" because it was never anywhere, as in "Nothing" is not within Space and Time.
I said all of this because it is somewhat tied to the doubt you had about him saying "Everything is already here and it probably already happened". This is not a a reference to a cyclical Universe, but rather a reflection about Nothing, Time and Space. Since we've established that "Nothing cannot be", then what should in theory logically follow is that "Something has always been". Which, as far as we know, is true. For as long as time existed, Space and matter also have. And it makes no logical sense to ask what came "Before Time", since we are posing a temporal question about a time when there was no Time.
Spacetime and Matter all came to be with the Big Bang and the correct way to say it is indeed Spacetime, in a single word, as the dimensions are tied one to another. But while length, width and height are static measures that we can perceive as being static, as we are trapped within time we see it as a succession of moments. The leading theory, though, is that it is a "Static" dimension as well, as in all moments actually exist at the same time, despite our inability to perceive them as such. Thus this is why he says that. We exist "At the same time" as the birth of the Universe and the end of the Universe. Thus "Everything is already here and it probably already happened".
Not sure if I was any clearer, but I hope it makes sense :)
Yeah, dude. English is the dumbest language ever; it makes no sense...I can't imagine having to learn English as a second language. You sound like you know the language very well regardless.
If you're really into WW2 you should react to The Fallen Of World War 2 by Neil Halloran. It's a truly amazing video.

"I teach geography, history, religion, social science and physical education."
Why hire more teachers when we can make one guy do the job of 5 people?
Are they gonna be paid more? no, they won't be.
@@galiyam1 This is too real and sad
Idk where you're from but in the US (at least in my experiences), grade school teachers pretty much cover most of the subjects. You don't really start getting specialized teachers until High School.
@@WeaselSpanzor Though even in the US, you will have some exceptions to that, mostly with small parochial schools and such. For several years, my mom taught grades 9-12 all at the same time. It was a small religious school and she only had 12 students across all 4 grades.
This is actually a normal thing in my country for grades 1 through 4-5. Aside from Foreign Language, PE and Art/Music, all basic subjects (Mother Language, Math, History, Geography and Science) are taught by one teacher. After 5th grade is when we finally separate each subject by teacher (unless he/she has a degree in multiple subjects and a contract, of course). Teachers got paid by the amount of class hours they have per week and education level, also. (primary school teachers do not need to have university degrees to teach as long as they have high school degrees in that; so their salary is lower. Secondary school teachers, that is grades 6th and above, they NEED to have at least a Bachelor's degree in Pedagogy plus their subject of choice to be allowed to teach, and the higher level of diplomas you have you can get salary bonus for it. In the public school system there is also a thing called "Teachers' Continued Education" in English I think to improve even further and continually those teachers' knowledge and teaching techniques)
Fun fact; the bit where he interrupts himself about making a religion from Robespierre is actually real - it was Robespierre's aim to establish his own religion, The Cult of the Supreme Being. Luckily, nobody was particularly interested in following it after he'd died.
it seems like a good idea to avoid that ideology
Well supreme being ideologies have a history of going veeeery bad
My favourite fact about that is that they made an entire new calendar just to not use the old one
Robespierre is one of those historical figures that just embodies being a mad lad.
At my school the first 4 is one class that bleeds over into the summer
"history of the entire world i guess" was and is still one of my favourite videos on TH-cam of all time. An international treasure in my opinion. I watch it at least 5 times a year, I just love it so much. Thanks for the reaction!

She asks anyone that comes over to our place if they’ve seen it before and if not she’ll put it on lol
as one of his current students it makes me so happy to see all the good feedback. i can confirm hes a great teacher if anyone wonders :)
Where does he teach? Like the country? He may have said it in the video but I missed it
@@beegyoshi2430 he teaches in sweden!
He seems like a great teacher
He also seems young enough to know how a computer works
@@swampfire6600 Don't underestimate the old folk, they made computers possible. Judging by a couple guys in their mid-20s I know, my grandfather born in 1922 knew more fundamentally about computers 30 years ago than them and he was a run of the mill factory worker.
this guy is brilliant. he's correctly predicting what happens next throughout the video, while speaking a second language.
Probably the best teacher I had no idea they each teach so many things!
In Sweden it is actually incredibly common to speak English, and they speak it quite well.

You're not pausing way too much don't worry - this is a reaction. Most of us have already seen the original video and if we wanted to just see the video we can go rewatch it. What's new is your input :D

English may not be your first language, but you kept up with the video far better than I did until I'd rewatched it several times! And to know your history so well you can identify in just a second or two what's being alluded to is so damn impressive.
the "but at least there is beaver" is a really nice thing that it is in there because at that time many pelt bearing animals were almost extinct through hunting in Europe so beaver pelts was a big export good to Europe from America.
I also like how you feel the speed picking up towards the more modern years. So many things happened in the last 20 years in terms of technology, knowledge and events that have a world wide impact.
It's also a pun about lady parts
Fun fact, Mansa Musa actually destroyed entire kingdoms with his wealth. On his parade through Africa, throwing his gold to all, he'd end up entirely crashing the theoretical worth of gold in those areas, effectively destroying their entire system of money because now gold had no real worth. Man was so rich he could just personally crash the worth of an invaluable resource like gold. That would be like Jeff Bezos handing out diamonds with paychecks for Amazon employees. All of them.
Crazy history.
Isn't this a terrifying contradiction to the idea of socialism?
@@BlueProphet7 I mean, yes and no. To solve the hyperinflation of gold, what did those nations do? Just changed currencies. Sure, that's vastly more difficult in the modern day, but definitely still doable, especially if it's to restabilize the economy.
@@jakeking974 that's an insane suggestion in 2022. We may as well adopt pure communism

"we teach the students about all the religions equally"
god that is so awesome, I wish every country did this cause a lot of people want to know about other religions aswell (like me) but can't cause they're restricted to one religion which is sad
Good news. There's the internet
and unfortunately I feel like a lot of people grow up ignorant because they’re not taught properly. it would’ve been so interesting to learn about more growing up
@@NoThankUBeQuiet Bad news. There's the internet
Yeah, I took AP world history during my sophomore year, and that was the only time I've learned of other religion like Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc.
@@yatelo hmm, yeah that's way different than our school. I am in high school and currently in world history class. every time we go to a new chapter talking about different regions at different ages/times we talk about their religion and how that certain religion impacted that region/kingdom/country. like 95% of the stuff in the video i remember learning. the other 9% is from the actual video and my other classes
bill wurtz is seriously INCREDIBLE for taking a full year or so to do his research and stuff to make this video which is not only hilariously entertaining but really dang informative. i watched this when i was back in high school and i vividly remember when we were in the section about the war with Spain and i was taking a test or something and i got to the part about the USS Maine, and i was just reciting to myself "lets blame the Maine on Spain!". lol it actually came in handy when i was doing my actual schoolwork. also, i never really enjoyed my history classes (bc they felt way too repetitive and we never really learned anything new or outside of what the textbooks said) but i would absolutely LOVE to take a class that was taught by @simple Viking
Bro i was doing that today lmao
I wish he would do more. The history of Japan was great. He should do more like it.
28:10 "I never talk who is to blame, i'd rather inform my student about fact and what's happen so they could make their own opinion rather than trying to force my opinion on them"
That's how teaching should be everywhere, teach the fact of what happened without puting your own world view in it
I'd also like to mention that the overabundance of oxygen played a major part in the sizing of prehistoric beings, such as human-sized bugs or the fact dinosaurs go from "little baby" to "the biggest thing to ever live on the planet".
Also the fact that to much oxygen is poisonous for humans, we mostly breath nitrogen.
The mixture of air generaly is
Nitrogen (around 75%)
Oxygen (around 20%)
Argon minor amounts
Carbon dioxide minor amounts
@@SilverShinotora Carbon dioxide(about to not be minor amounts)
I know you have it quotations but I've always learned that the Blue Whale is the biggest creature ever. Technically not "on" the Earth but, yes, still a creature on the Earth.
@@kanemartin2249 its what almost 1% more in high traffic citys ofc, but yeah it is definetly rising slowly but surely.
Wasn't there a mass extinction at some point due to an over abundance of oxygen? Maybe I picked it up wrong, but I'm sure I heard about it somewhere.
"you, technically, can call yourself a Star Child! " i didnt know i needed this wholesomeness till now

It's the thing you put in Paella to make your rice be yellow. It doesn't even have much of a taste, it's basically for colouring. 3+ € per gram!
Salt was called "white gold" for a reason too...
FINALLY A TEACHER THAT TEACHES NOT A TEACHER THAT "TEACHES" WHEN IN REALITY THEY JUST READ A BOOK AND SHARE IT WITH US THEN CALL IT TEACHING
This dude is amazing. He teaches 5 subjects, and still finds time to make videos where he speaks English which is most likely not his first language. So, thank you for doing your best to teach us and your students about the world.
The dude basically is half their school! That’s pretty epic!
i think he speaks swedish as his first language
welcome to the Nordics lol
Sounds like the average nordic teacher.
hope he is Norwegian
Yes I believe you’re right Lief Erikson is the first European to land in North America. I believe he landed somewhere in Canada. We are still working on getting the Christopher Columbus lie worked out of our culture here as well.
Lol exactly. Christopher Columbus was the first Spaniard to reach the Bahamas. He didn't "discover" much of anything.
@@squillz8310 Christopher Columbus wasn't a Spaniard.
Correct me if im wrong, but i dont think he even got to mainland Mexico until Cortes.
@@jedvinstam thanks. I forgot he was working for the Spanish. He wasn't spanish himself
Every time I think about Christopher Columbus, it's immediately followed by some Indian fellow saying, "That idiot got lost."
6th grade, my social studies teacher showed my class the original uncensored version, and it was genuinely so funny- 😂😂😂

I think your final comments were spot on. This isn’t something you should actually be learning the info from, but it’s a great tool to sum up a lot of knowledge and put it into context. In short, a nice review!
There is no way people learn from this
People need to know first before enjoying this, after that then u can fill some hole in the knowledge
As someone who took AP World History in High School, I learned maybe 90% of what was in the video from that class alone. Stuff from the beginning I learned in a mix of chemistry, physics, meteorology and astronomy.
You guys study meteorology and astronomy in high school? That's super cool we only had biology, chemistry and physics. I took on physics because of my interest in astronomy but it turned out to not have a whole lot of astronomy included.😟
I do my own research as im very addicted to modern,post modern and classic era history
@@himynameis3664 Same for Malaysia
yes! i'm currently in ap world history and seeing this video genuinely has helped me in the class and i find that funny
I wish my school had that available. We only had AP U.S History.
I love when people pause these kind of videos to explain their thoughts and ideas. It can be confusing to hear someone talk over a video that is so fast paced.
Yeah, it’s super appreciated.
im 9 months late but thank you for teaching your students about history with an unbiased view and showing how you do it to youtube. i’m jealous that your students get you as a teacher.
p.s. also thank you for sharing your great-grandfathers story as well. being able to talk about that sort of thing happening to your family isn’t easy
Bruh I’m a year late
Bro im almost 2 years late
World Religion was my favourite class in high school! My teacher was extremely respectful and presented all the religions we studied as genuine beliefs, I learned so much that semester.
Love this tongue-in-cheek but pretty accurate synopsys of the universe and world history. Teaching about a lot of religions and cultures is good to help with the understanding of other people.
teacher eddie's better at doing this thing, u might wanna check his reaction to this video instead.
Oh hey they said tongue in cheek, time to have horrible flashbacks of Happy Tree Friends
Well this "star child's" reaction to this video by Bill is the most wholesome reaction by far.

@@johntyronebiloa4879okay, will you learn to walk if there’s food up here?
you remind me of my middle school history teacher. she loved egypt sooo much, she would bring figs to class and tell us how much egyptians relied on figs as one of their staple foods. all the decorations in her classroom were all egypt inspired. teachers that have passion for their subject really leave a strong impression on their student that lasts for years. ( like to add that it's been almost 20 years since I was in middle school and I still remember her going on about egypt. she was a really sweet old lady. )
Regarding oxygen, I think you're talking about the Great Oxydation Event, just when photosythesis appeared. This strategy of using the sun for energy/food was so successful that it killed nearly everything in the planet (to be fair, there wasn't much, that we know of at least). When a species is too successful, it multiplies so much that it takes all the space and change even the atmosphere. A bit like us nowadays lol. In a way, we're just following nature even now.
And much like the cyanobacteria releasing all that oxygen caused the evolution of species that would replace them as the "most successful" reproducing organisms, we are probably creating the perfect conditions for a down fall and population reduction of our own, aren't we?
I wonder what will become the new normal in the next few centuries =D
We changing the sky to black
Yup, in the end, nature always wins...we have this strange idea that we are somehow separate from nature when we are actually synonymous with it, we embody it...in the words of the late Carl Sagan, "We are a way for the universe to know itself." and "We are an example of what hydrogen atoms can do given 15 billion years of cosmic evolution."
The point was not only in effectiveness of photosynthesis, but also in other thing. Imagine, you live a life then some purple goblins appeear. Yhey eat dirt and fart some choking gas. You can do nothing but move far from them. They eat, fart and spread all over the world. Air smells really bad now, it's hard to breathe. These goblins become huge and numerous and fart much more. Air is poisonous, your skin melts so you can't survive...
Hi, man. I love that video of History of the world. I've been watching a lot of reactions about it because I like to see people either learning things or commenting expanding it. Where are you from? Your video was great and I think you should keep reacting (or talking about history) and put your own points. I find awesome how those kids learning is so varied. Specialy the critical thinking. Great job. Do more videos.
Wow I wasnt expecting a comment so soon. Thank you for your kind words!
I'm from Sweden.
Ooooh Swedish I was wondering where you were talking about

As a current highschool student here in America, I found it interesting to hear even some minor differences in the education system. Like how we haven't touched Africa and South America very much yet, and how we talked about the tectonic plates shifting and pangea seperating in science class in the early grades.
Side Note: the word for the giant boats that ship shipping containers through the Panama Cannal and such is freighters
Or cargo ships
Great video- to address a point you made at the end, for some people this is a great into to world history. I showed it to my son, who is almost 9, and he watched it 3 times in a row. It’s fast and compact, but now he’s interested in history and asking a million questions. Totally worth a few f bombs to spark his interest, in my opinion
also, theres a swear free version. cool i guess
I wish I had a teacher like him when I was in school, especially in high school. Aside from undiagnosed ADHD, lifeless cruel and or just uninterested teachers killed my love of learning

When I was in school they didn't teach us about ANY religions, it wasn't allowed in school (that's why we had Sunday school at church for the kids), I had to learn about all of them (except Christianity) on my own. I kinda like the idea they you guys not only teach it but teach about many different ones.
It's kinda malicious in intent tbh; use separation of church and state to justify ignoring the fact that religions exist entirely knowing that that'll just make more people default to the most popular one without any sort of critical thinking...
For me different religions are taught in world history, especially relating to how different beliefs cause conflicts/schisms
Though I am in AP world so I might be getting a more in-depth education than the average student
I went to a Christian junior school. They taught creationism as fact and never discussed other religions. My best friend there was Hindu. Not sure why her parents had her going there. I still remember my confusion over why she didn't celebrate Christmas and didn't understand this Diwali she did. Why did her family do this celebration but mine didn't?
Sexual education was also very lacking. We learnt the basics of how babies were made (with signed permission from a parent). But I didn't know about homosexual relationships until age 14/15. My intro was anime. Yeah...even my family forgot to teach me that. And going back to juniors, one of my friends had two mums. I thought they were just good friends or sisters or something.
Would like to note I haven't been religious since said childhood. I don't believe in that stuff.
Only one religion has the balls to refer to herself as the one true faith and last long enough for those words to be true.

honestly, if a video like this were used for history class, or just any class, the entertainment factor would certaintly keep students paying more attention.
In my AP World History class, we watched this at the end of the year, and figured that aside from the very beginning with the science, we knew most/all and could explain in detail for most if asked. Also had a great teacher and I can tell you have a similar passion about teaching!

You kept saying you struggle with English, but it was super good! Then again I understand how hard it is to have confidence in a non first language! It was super neat to get a teacher opinion on all of this!
Well, there are different types of struggling, not only being able to speak the words with little-to-no accent, or with having correct grammar (and these he's quite good at), but there's also the struggle to find the right words. :-B

The start with "how every it gets" is referring to the "singularity", when all energy was located in a single point at the beginning of time. It is the idea that when you trace back the expansion of space-time you hit a point where everything is located in an infinitely small point ("in" is a bit weird, since space and time dont really make sense with singularities, but whatever). This is why he said you dont need a "when" or a "where", because it is "every". ^^
22:18 what bothers me more is when people white-wash Columbus. The guy was such a savage, even his contemporaries though the was a blood-thirst maniac.
That is a well debunked myth. The only shred of evidence for Colmbus being the way you describe him, is a single letter by his biggest rival, which has objectively proven to be a smear.

My distinguished dude,
PLEASE TELL YOUR STUDENTS THIS (The part you pause around, at 10:20-onward specifically) because, honestly.... A LOT of pressure on schooling, for me and a lot of the people i knew, was feeling like we had to learn everything perfectly forever.
That all teachers just had EVERYTHING they taught completely memorized perfectly and that we were there to learn to do the same.
If i had known that it is okay to learn something as well as you can, remember the important bits and that it's *okay* to not have perfect memory, to need to go back and refresh yourself on details etc.
I would've had a lot more fun, a lot better time, and probably done a lot better, not just on tests but with my time and efforts, than i did by thinking my teachers were, and that I also had to become perfect with it.
As a German the Martin Luther part never fails to make me laugh. I also did a presentation about Hinduism in school, it was really fun.
I wish I had you as a teacher during my school years. Here in Brazil, when I was a student during the 90's, we only learned about Brazilian history and the 2 world wars... We never learned about different religions because they forced us to be christians (which I'm not and it took me years to discover this by myself - but I am interested in religion as topic even though I'm an atheist) and I hated history and geography. Now, being 34, I appreciate both subjects a lot more, and I'm always trying to learn something new because I think that knowledge is never too much. Your students are very lucky to have you.
same with india. Still today we don't get enough education about other countries like egypt, china or europe. Just the 2 wars and Indian history. Indian history is important and all but can we ignore other stuff just because of that? and the education system is actually broken.
(small correction i noticed europe is not a country LMAO0
Salve mano.
Brazilian here too, I was at school during the 2000s, it was better teaching more countries history, but not as much as the guy on the video told they teach there.
Oh but I gotta say I studied in a private school, not public.
God loves you and will wait for you until your dying breath
private School too, i had brazilian history and history (World history) and in geography there was physical (that focused more on Brazilian physical geography) and political (in wich we saw basically the polical history of the world since WW1).
Eu acho que o ENEM na verdade acabou mudando muito o currículo escolar do Brasil, aprofundando em coisas que talvez não fossem vistas antes, eu me formei em 2016 então o meu ensino médio todinho já foi meio que focado no ENEM.
I wasn't impressed that I found this video. I was impressed that he teaches 5 subjects.

I'm so impressed by how genuinely curious about history you are. it makes me want to hang out with you to learn things and have an amazing time. I loved that video and can't wait to see more !!!
Dude, your students are lucky to have such an intelligent and cool teacher like you.
Watching a comprehensive history video like this makes me feel even more strongly that all students should play some sort of 4x civ building game, such as Sid Meier's Civilization. That allows them to simulate, visualize, and participate in the history that they're learning about in school. It also exposes them to the concept of the "tech tree" which illustrates how simpler technologies build upon and combine together to bring about more complex technologies. So that, ideally, when you place an object in their hands, it's not simply a black box that popped into existence out of nowhere, but rather something that they can begin to identify bits and pieces of and forensically trace back its development from previous objects.
.
The same goes for human history to learn the origins of and relationships between different cultures over time. Of course, it's important to learn specific names and dates, but often the forest can be lost through the trees, so to speak. It's always important to keep the big picture in mind (eg. "empires rise and empires fall").
I'd argue in favor of one of the Paradox grand strategy titles, maybe more than one, to get a "feel" for how paradigms have shifted over time. Say, start them with Imperator: Rome, then Crusader Kings, then Europa Universalis, then finish things off with Hearts of Iron. Most of history in one game series. I skipped Victoria, because even though it's quite good, it isn't easy to get into.
They're significantly less random sandboxy (oh, I invented an adjective) than the Civilization games and significantly more grounded in history.
@@c99kfm They're also significantly more complex and difficult (at least for me). But, yes, I see what you're saying about historical accuracy.
@@PongoXBongo Yeah, you need to start with one which you can make sense of. For me, the first Paradox game I got into was Europa Universalis: Rome, the predecessor to Imperator: Rome.
Those are basically collections of simplified parts of most of the rest of the games, except HoI, which helped me make sense of EU3 and CK2 when I started playing those.
CK2 or CK3 would be another entry point, where the focus on characters, relationships and families could help a bit.
But yes, significantly higher threshold than the Civ games.

"We don't talk about the Persian Empire"
That broke my heart.
I know, Persian history is as fascinating as it is important. Many essential things we take for granted were invented by the Persians.
Yo man, you speak English very well. Your only problem seems to be a lack of vocabulary rather than any grammatical issues
unfortunately for non-natives, professional lingo is kinda hard to translate. i know for a fact that this guy knows a lot of things, I relate to it because I learned my profession in my native, but I couldn't explain a single biological cycle in English lol. :')
I speak english and I still have a lack of vocabulary
@@radioactivebeverage yes! If your area doesn't use English terms by default, it's kinda hard to translate on the bat. The bonus of being a programmer since most of the time you write code using English terms lol
@@VictoriaWalker8 yup, this. my native is really out of place and uses such vague words lol...i have an easier time explaining genetics because it's modern and uses english terms by default. same with programming
I think the biggest problem when learning another language, it's the vocabulary, it takes a long time to get used to.
There is so many words that can be used on so many different occasions, that people forget all the time (at least i do xD)
I'm dying at how the screen just lit up your face from the static at 2:50
You speak English way better than I speak Spanish, which is the only other language I can claim any decent knowledge of. (I know you’re Swedish, just using Spanish as a comparison point.) I’m pretty content with the teachers I have, but you’re definitely the kind of teacher we need more of.
It's great to see educators react to the video and give their own tidbits of information to provide context.
Regarding the order, I think it's a great idea to show this video first as a "primer" and then drive deeper into reach topic, referencing that portion before starting. That way, when you talk about it in depth, the kids will already have a sense of perspective regarding when in history those events took place, what led to them, and how they affected the future. I wish this existed 20 years ago, I'd probably be much more interested to actually listen during history classes.
yes
It's from Bill Wurtz
Not Primer
The pausing is the reason I'm watching this!
I didnt expect anyone to see this. Thank you for watching!
@@simpleviking me too, In a reaction I want to hear an opinion; otherwise It's just someone staring.
Better Pause to Talk (even Risking making the video too long) than talking over It.
@@simpleviking what Jim said
Mansa Musa's net worth is actually incalculable, because we simply didn't know how much gold he had. We do know that when he travelled to Mecca, cities he would pass through had their economies collapse from the hyperinflation on the large influx of gold into their system. And these were gifts, so who could even say how much he could really have had.
Mansa Musa was definitely richer than anyone alive today. No one has ever come close to his net worth. It's hard to quantify it but he was rumored possessed half the gold known in the world at the time. Whether that was true or not, the amount he was recorded to have brought with him on his pilgrimage to Mecca would still put him in the top seat and that didn't include his salt mines or land owned.
So, to answer some stuff that you asked about, in the vid:
There was a hypothesis that the universe would expand out until a certain point and then it would come back in and do that over and over. This was called the Big Crunch. However, given our best understanding of the shape and expansion of the universe this model is very unlikely.
You were right. The term is Cosmic Background Radiation or CMBR and it is kinda a map of the big bang
Yes, at one point all life on earth early died from oxygen poisoning. Early life was purple in color to take advantage of the suns light and wasn't able to process large amounts of oxygen. New green life however, emited it as a byproduct and it caused the first mass extinction on earth.
Ps. I really liked your insight on the history stuff. It's not my area of focus but I love to hear about it anyway.
I thought the term for the universe cycle you were explaining was the big bounce? if it continues over again, if it collapses once then it is the big crunch because gravity over powers the expansion of the universe.. correct me if i am wrong pls.
@@pico3120 nah bro it's called the big trampoline
6:30 - Ah yes, the Oxygen Catastrophe. Killed almost all life on earth, then froze over the surface for good measure.
I enjoyed this video. I graduated high school in CA in 2007 and remember in 10th grade we learned about the six major religions and split the class into six groups to do reports on the history and edicts of each religion. It was pretty cool!
this is so cool! i really wanted to see teachers see this video cause i truly enjoy it :D history is so fun to learn and stuff
Just from hearing your reaction and how you talk about your students I wish you were my teacher when I was 13-16. Great video, keep up the good work 😃
"Some stars die with passion" my most favorite part of the video
Tin land "idk my dealer won't tell me where he gets it" 🤣 killed me ! Love this video and your commentary , could hardly tell English isn't your first language
I found "history of the world, i guess" while studying in these subjects in school. I thought it was really fun and helpful for me to get an interest. The only reason I had a problem with is that I didn't know what was correct in the video and what was not which made me unable to use it as an inspiration. Now that I know everything it's just a fun video to watch but I myself got a lot of inspiration and like a hum of what the teacher would talk about in the lectures. Also kinda like a first introduction in history class. My first history class when I started school at 16 was to draw a timeline. I can se that it did not go well and gosh I wish I had seen this the video before.
I will never get over how smooth the transition from science talk to history talk is in this video
31:20 "Necessity breeds invention"
Man huge props to you for explaining things so well, I can't imagine talking about stars collapsing and the matter become denser, or the founding of civilisations in my second or third languages (English is my first).
I really hated that here in the USA even at high school level teachers couldn't teach anything religious and politics were shrunk into an economics class that was only for half the year 😬
I mean don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't force anything on to us, but it sucked not learning about different politics, cultures or much of anything outside the US. It's no wonder we have such a bad international reputation.
I'm really jealous hearing about other countries school systems. Like learning in depth stuff about different political parties,religions, etc. But not forcing anything on us, like they kind of do now, sounds so God damn cool.
At my high school the freshmen have a class option of AP Human Geography, which goes over world politics, geography, architecture, religion, etc.
Technically it's considered a college class, which kids who got lower grades in middle school are strongly discouraged to take, and it pushes out the slot for an elective, so band or sports kids can't take it.
Most kids that were in that class didn't care about politics or religion, it was full of people that were forced to take it by their parents for a prettier GPA. That's the US education system folks.
@@lumiella YESSIR! America #1, amirite?!?!?
Here's a surprise: I went to school (all 12 years) in the US, and this video is a perfect summary of everything we studied save for the mathematics and literature. All the sciences plus history, and FWIW, I can recall all of it, so either I studied well (was a C student at best, GPA 2.78, what do tests know?) or have a good memory.
Most of the "bad reputation" is twofold, IMHO; one, there's always a bit of general envy for the guy in first place (economy, silly) and any way to tear him down is a likely target, and two, most of the US standard scores are skewed due to the heterogeneous population of the US. A particularly nasty bit of statistical analysis to do is to compare only the white kids with Europe; dropping out the minorities (and I _know_ this sounds awful, but I'm trying to be clinical here, and not going into causative factors, which are many and varied) puts the US at the _absolute top_ of the chart. Not by much, but solidly ahead of the second-place nation.
I don't know what we should do with that information. Certainly nothing untoward.
I had a teacher that had knotsie flag on her desk...she was an English teacher so that was odd...like if she was a history teacher it would still raise an eyebrow but less odd because of context.
6:18 that's right.
The first and most likely biggest mass extinction event on earth was before the Cambrian explosion due to oxygen. I don't know the number exactly but it was like 99.9% of all life on earth died. We are talking about single celled organisms and maybe some first multi-celled organisms. That's a lot of fossile carbon theses days.
the TLDR on why too much oxygen is super bad is like if you think about some rocket fuels are literally pure or liquid oxygen. im not a scientist but from what few thermo nuclear studies i have taken have taught me; you wouldnt want to breath something that intense or volatile
when i was in word history and ap world history classes in high school, this video was actually really helpful! i think those classes helped me become well versed
12:50 oh man, I wish it was like this in more places. when I was attending school it was just catholic lessons with priest/nun/catechist and the tone of those lessons really depended on whoever was teaching (whether they were like SaTaN LuRkS EVERYWHERE or just chill discussions that you could enjoy engaging in). if someone was not religious they had 'free' time when you could do homework in library or sth if religion wasn't 1st or last during the day. there's 'ethics' as a replacement, but back in my days it wasn't common at schools and I just went to the library. I suppose the only time other religions were mentioned was on sth like social studies? (idk english equivalent) but nothing actual to learn, besides 'well, there's also like judaism, islam, hinduism, buddhism and many other religions, judaism and islam are kinda related to christianity.' but everyone already knows that.
(for context I'm from Poland, finished highschool about 8 years ago. some things have changed, 'gimnazjum' is no longer a thing, but it's shitty system anyways)
"this video will disappear in the ocean of youtube"
youtube: *recommends this video to me*
I feel like the northern countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland) are really good when it comes to teaching religion. Like he said at 13:04 we spend equal amounts of time on each religion despite being, in all technicality, Christian countries (that’s dying out though as most are agnostic, atheist, and Islam is pretty big in Norway at least). Like I remember learning about the biggest religions and their different “kinds,” but also about samì religion, Confucianism, satanism, Wicca, and other forms of paganisms. I mostly enjoyed learning about the “smaller” religions/pagan beliefs.
Most of my friends from different countries and continents don’t even get close to all of that
I know this is a year old video and I am sad about seeing this so far past the making of it, but phenomenal opinions and approach to teaching. When I was in high school (in the US), I would have loved to have a teacher like you. No bias, just facts. Never stop passing on your knowledge :)
p.s. - I'm very critical of English and grammar and you were amazing. I don't even know a second language and to hear someone speak it so fluently as a second language, just incredible.
9:38 i think students like early civilisations more because it's a bit more simple and chronologically correct. I remember from when i was a kid that i liked a subject more when i knew what came before.
19:05 Lol, I know you were bringing this up as a serious inquiry/topic related to actual history, but despite me being an adult by now, to this day I still can't hear the name Leif Erikson without immediately thinking of that one entire episode of SpongeBob that was dedicated to him celebrating/constantly yelling "HAPPY LEIF ERIKSON DAY!!" and I INSTANTLY crack up 😂😂😂
love your reaction and accurate predictions of everything
loved you’re réaction. keep it going 🙌
In eight years of history classes, the only topics we've talked about were world war one and two, and while those are super important to talk about, I kinda feel like i have absolutely zero clue about any other history besides that
As an American, yes, it was Leif Erikson that was the first non-native to set foot in North America. More specifically what would be Newfoundland, Canada (yet he was never talked about in my school years). As for Columbus... dude landed in the Bahamas, Cuba, and I want to say Hispaniola (? maybe, could be wrong). The guy NEVER set foot on the mainland. Yet, we, as Americans, celebrate him for "discovering America". Why? He technically discovered the Caribbean...? As an Italian-American I can say most of us despise the man and I'm still questioning why we teach that in our schools. No to Columbus Day. Yes to Indigenous Peoples Day & Leif Erikson Day.
It's quite funny that Leif Erikson, one of the vikings, people often portrayed as savages, actually had friendly relations with the natives while Columbus, a "civilized white man" basically robbed and killed the natives. Brings into question who actually are the savages.
@@raibyo when I learned the actual truth about Columbus (after high school, go figure) I immediately stopped celebrating his "holiday" I gained more appreciation for native Americans when I met my best friend. Her grandmother was full Blackfoot. As for Leif Erikson & the vikings... I've honestly always liked them lol. Found them pretty damn cool.
@@TwiggyHetfield27 You wouldn't find the Vikings cool if you lived during the times they were raiding and were English or French. People romanticize Vikings like they do with pirates. I'll never understand it. The Vikings were invaders who raped, killed, and stole from innocent people, they were the bad guys of history.
America is a continent. And yes, Columbus did discover it. The "old" and the "new" world had no knowledge of each other.
@@SoLazy100
1. America is actually two continents. People split them into "North" and "South" for convenience.
2. No one cares about number 1 tho because when 99% of the Earth's population hears "America" they think of the United States of America.
3. The first recorded European to discover the Americas, North America, was Leif Eriksson who set foot in what is now Canada and established the first known European settlement on the continent.
4. Number 3 was done 500 fucking years before Columbus. Learn history.
nothing is random when it comes to bills wurtz, every sound and words are always related to important things. That's why he is so special.
Thanks for adding some more context to the original video. :) Was interesting!
My best experiences in school were when the teacher made the lessons into a game. My history teacher in, I think 6th grade, was teaching about the middle ages. Instead of lecturing about the daily life, he had us all choose from a list of jobs during that time and play it out with each other for a week. We were separated into groups of 2 or 3. My group of 3 wanted construction and only major construction was left. After talking to the teacher, we were given the okay to build a castle for a king (Cheat code activated). I have a feeling that he used to play dungeons and dragons lol.
My 8th grade student teacher said something that’s stuck with me all these years later. “The secret of a good compromise is that no one leaves happy.”
“This video will disappear in the ocean of the internet.”
1 year later, this video has 2 and a half million years.
I need him as a teacher bro
Bro i am mad late to this video but I love this dude, like this one of my favorite videos ever, and I didn't expect to be entertained by someone watching it, but this guy just SPITTIN
the "quantum computer" bit at the end is mostly a "what I expect next" from the creator.
Personally, I love the video since it gives a great overview of "what happens when and where", as well as what happens shortly before/after. It turns loose lessons into a coherent whole at the end of your education, and works great as "cliff notes" for a lot of stuff.
Great reaction here especially since you teach various subjects. The “thing inventor” at the end is not necessarily a quantum computer. But it’s an AI so smart that it makes invention faster and better than humans and this hypothetical situation is known as a technological singularity. With advances in AI people speculate whether this is actually possible.
Seen it and its on my recommend so it didn't disappear, glad I watched your video
6:04 that's right! And we're sure of it because of BIFs! (Banded Iron Formation) They are iron rocks with beds (idk if that's how they're named in english, they're stripes) of red hematite (Fe2O3), because the iron in the rock reacted with the oxygen produced by the cyanobacteria in the oceans. And each non-red line shows a period where microorganisms were using sulfate instead of oxygen to breath!!
I always find it fascinating that most of the rest of the world, or at least most of Europe, teaches world religions in schools. Here in the US, most people don't even have the option of learning about religions in school until university, and even then only if it's part of your major or you chose the class as an elective. The exception being private religious schools, for instance Catholic schools that teach kids to be Catholic from a young age, etc. It's no wonder there's so much "Christians are the default / are superior" attitude in the States, to the point where you get things like people assuming non-religious folks are evil and immoral, and assuming polytheist religions such as Wicca are about devil worship.
(I suppose it's not *just* the US, considering Ozzy Osbourne's ignorant lyric "there may be religions, but only one God" -- but we in the US are very good at that kind of viewpoint nonetheless.)
at least you guys teach there 9999999 genders and pronouns
@@Aiveq Nope. Firstly, I'm talking about in school, and we don't have gender studies here in schools except as university-level electives. Secondly, there aren't "99999999" genders, gender is a spectrum, meaning there are effectively infinitely many if you're forcing yourself to quantize it.
@@IceMetalPunk lol
I live in Sweden and I was really shocked when I found out about the education system in other countries. My teachers always let the students form their own views and opinions on things, whenever we talk religion or politics our teachers won't even tell us what party they vote for or what religion they believe in or something like that. In grade 2 we started learning about buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Christiany etc.. During the times that we learnt about the religions we were also taught about the major events and all sorts of things surrounding that religion, like traditional clothing and food etc. I find it so important that teachers remain teachers and don't take the "parent role" upon themselves to try and teach children what they should/shouldn't believe in. A big part in why we are being taught about so many religions is probably because Sweden is (although many people are members of the church) an atheist/ not very strict with religon place. I'm really happy to have grown up in a place like this and I wish students in other countries like the USA could also be taught about other religions, political views and laws in other countries aswell. Seeing the recent hate against muslim people in the USA has been truly heartbreaking. Children should be taught about other's life standards even if they won't experience it first hand, it's an incredibly important part in preventing what's now happening around the world. Seeing people like you who actually seem to be interested in other people's lifestyles really gives me hope for the future
@@IceMetalPunk I even have a friend who's taking gender studies as a minor and it's more how gender can affect people's views and biases, such as the fact that women don't get talked about as much in things like autism. Of course they study cultural perception of gender as well but it's not the whole course.
