Best channel on the internet. Thank you for not having an intro, and for your videos in whole.
look up wi tssit gets it, nasa has lied to you since before you were born.
regards alls here
I like how you always “just start” the video 😂
Nice vid!

I feel sick after typing that out
Two TH-cam channels for pop physics comes to mind.
- PBS Space Time
- History of the Universe
Both are accessible to us common folk. But History of the Universe has a way with words that even high schoolers could follow what's being said. It's kinda like a documentary and should be watched in order. On the other hand PBS Space Time goes a bit more in-depth and approaches different topics.
'History of the Universe' also has a channel called 'History of the Earth' and another channel 'Voices of the Past' all of which I think are right up your alley.
If you watch History of the Universe, I recommend starting from the literal beginning "What Was The Big Bang?"
I don't question my own existence... Just everyone else's...
Yup, solipsism all the way
I think, therefore youse ain't?

This has left me with so many questions and my head hurting
You know when a calculator just displays the letter E when it runs out of capacity to think? My brain comes to a similar full stop when we get into galazy sizing maths.
The mysterious number 1/137 is just mind blowing.
I always thought this equation was a computer code
One nice thing about how insignificant we are compared to the whole universe is realising how little difference in significance it is between anyone here on our planet. From beggar to emperor, nobody had any influence beyond our thin atmosphere stretched around this tiny rock. And only a few hundred of us has travelled outside that, but didn't do much there anyway.
And because there are so many of us now, our individual impact is probably less than ever. It doesn't make a difference to the present or future if I move to another country and start a new career, unless I do something out of the ordinary. Someone settling new land a few thousand years ago may have made a huge difference choosing either to clear some forest for farming near the river or for a pasture by the mountains. It would have had an impact on future agriculture, infrastructure industry and city planning. People we'll never hear about in history probably had a bigger impact on our lives than anyone reading this will have for any future of humanity.
We're often motivated to make our mark in history and create our future, when the most important impact we can make is usually to the people close to us right now. So take care of each other and perhaps we'll make our time seem a bit better for future historians, even if we'll all be individually forgotten.
I can't see how anyone who has tried to comprehend how massive the universe is thinks that we are the intended result. The same thing with time, we've been here in the latest moment in the universe's long history.
Or…are we? Think about it.
I would recommend 311 if you like Sublime. Another prominent west coast band from the 90s. 🤙🏼
Amber is the color of NP's energy.
i love your smile when a new piece of knowledge hits! keep up the great work please! big love to all people :)
UY Scuti is the largest star. Also, it's now said that there are more stars in the universe than at least 10x the grains of sand on Earth. All of the galaxies in our supercluster of galaxies (Laniakea supercluster) are being pulled toward what's called "The Great Attractor".
no it is not. science is always moving forward. it's not even in the top 30 anymore. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_known_stars
even worse it is now in 79th place. for largest star.
@@B-A-L er....what? Nothing in the universe is infinite, so why would the universe itself be?
@@TransoceanicOutreach Amazing, you solved what nobody else could since humans looked at the sky. What a bunch of morons.
just found your channel today and watched 6or 7 videos in a row (bill burr, mike tyson, fallen of ww2, honey badgers, history of the entire world, and some more). intelligent reacts. bonus points for minimalistic intros. u have a new subscriber now ^.^ have a nice day
(p.s.: i'd love a react to a Veritasium videos. just pick any that sparks your interest)
Refreshing to see someone so intelligent, and with such a breadth of knowledge. Gotta love a nerd!
Thanks!
Thanks for the constant support (:
5:37 Exactly. There could be life forms on Jupiter and Neptune. Or in other environments that are similar, but not in any relation to humans. 👽
the Nightwish song 'Shoemaker' (also an opportunity to listen to one of the best bands/singers (Floor Jansen) on the planet). The track is about Eugene Shoemaker who was a renowned geologist, a founder of planetary science, and also known for co-discovering the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 along with Carolyn Shoemaker and David Levy - who is also the first man to be buried on the Moon. While visiting an impact crater site in Australia, Eugene and wife Carolyn were in an accident that caused his death, after which his life-long dream to go to the Moon was realized: on January 6, 1998, the ashes of Eugene were launched aboard NASA’s Lunar Prospector mission to the Moon, and he was buried near the south pole.

I read "The Stranger" back in college. I didn't remember what it was about; thanks for the refresher. As for the video, it's the kind of thing that will lead one to awe, amazement, stark humility, fascination, or . . . worship. Maybe all of the above.
“Much respect to the man wit da uzi “ that’s such good lesser known sublime track. probably my favorite song from them also. your definitely one of the cool kids in my book
Songs about space?
Black Sabbath - Into The Void
Motorhead - The Watcher
Voivod - Forgotten In Space (actually, quite a lot of their stuff is sci fi themed, just not "space" sci fi)
Geezer Butler - Black Science (the whole album is songs about old sci fi TV shows)
Hawkwind - Take Me To Your Leader (the whole album) (Also check out the Palace Springs, Space Bandits, and Master of the Universe albums. Chronicle of the Black Sword is about Moorcock's Elric saga)
Back in the late 70s, John Entwistle produced some sort of a rock opera called Flash Fearless vs The Zorg Women which had a couple of cool songs on the soundtrack- particularly the ones with Alice Cooper on vocals.
Queen's '39 as well.
OMG I was thinking of Camus "The Stranger" too. Great book.
I see headlines musing that there may be more forms of stable stars to discover. The idea being that they want to explore the possibility of black hole like conditions hiding in the cores of visible stars. Or at least a good enough reason to look at the data again. Current models require some "dark mater" to match observations. Maybe some of the missing mass it is hiding in places we don't yet expect, if not dimly scattered in the cold void between stars.
Love the shirt!! 40 oz. to freedom is such a great album! 🥰
Wait, did you just like my comment in under a minute, on a months-old video of yours?? How? That is crazy!
Ooh maybe a video on the Artemis missions to go back to the surface of the moon? Don't have a specific one to recommend though
A bit late to the party,
but I love living on Earth because of the awe we can still have for all of existence. We can take a spiritual comfort in being small. The other civilizations in this galaxy (which we call the Milky Way, but everyone else calls Sagron) are weighted by their knowledge, and sometimes I think they fall victim to the old vices of perfectionism. The human way isn't as far off from the Sagronian way as either side might feel, especially when it comes to a capacity for love. Hopefully we won't lose that.
Love the shirt !!! 🤘🤘😁
A billion used to be 1 million million (12 digits). Then, I think it was the US that redefined it as 1 thousand million (9 digits). Personally I think it should be the former 12 digit version as it makes more sense. A million, after all, is a thousand, thousand.
If it was 12 digits, there'd be no billionaires though. :)
When faced with the distances quoted in such videos you realise just how slow the speed of light is (299,792,458 m/s). Super fast for us but a snail’s pace in cosmic terms.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , a book by Douglas Adams will give you a fun perspective on what might be out there..
A few space songs I grew up with. The first I recall will really date me, Telstar for the first manmade satellite. Then Billy Preston’s Outa Space, and Space Race. [ I just realized those are all instrumental only songs! ] Then David Bowie’s, Ground Control To Major Tom. I’m sure there are several more space songs but those are the first ones that come to mind.
Nice Sublime T-shirt. Saw them with Rime in 2015 Chicago. Kick ass.
We're made from star dust ... pretty mad when you really think about it ...
"And then who knows what´s going on in the galaxies we can´t observe."
You mean like in a galaxy far far away, a long time ago....? - Star Wars Theme

The ominous music at the beginning was called Carmina Burana by Carl Orff', It is magnificent. Various versions on YT :)
"red dress" by magic. I missed so many vids... Sorry been busy preparing for a new job. I have to rewatch them but I doubt you will see the comments if I left song recommendations
I’ll check out Red Dress, although I think I’ve heard this one after the last time you recommended Magic. Thanks for that! Also, good luck with your new job Darryl
2:20 UY Scuti is the biggest known star now, it has 2.4 billions km of diameter while Canis Majoris has 1.8 billion km
If you happen to be into heavy metal (melodic death) or want to experiment, one of my favorite space-themed song is from an Australian band called Be'lakor. It's about the formation of a photon in the depths of the sun and its journey to earth. The whole album, Vessels is pretty amazing.
1:45 - About the more 'stars than all the sand grains on earth', it's specifically true about all the BEACHES of the earth. Once you take into account the sand on the continents and more importantly under the oceans (which have kilometres-deep areas of sand over most of their surface) that grain number increases by many thousands and it's no longer true.
Santeria has to be Sublime's biggest hit. Badfish is certainly superb!
The videos from the channel SEA are top notch space videos, one of my favorites is The Great Attractor which is something that is dragging our entire galaxy and who knows what else towards it. Also another vote for Melodysheep's Timelapse of the Future, maybe the most existential crisis invoking space video on youtube.
0:10 your shirt matches

1:30 in that comparison photo you can see that even a solar flair explosion of the sun is like 10 earths long...
Don't forget how dope Sublime's song "Pawn Shop" is. The bass playing is so in pocket
Hi, a song that deals with the mathematics of our local space is Vangelis - Albedo 0.39. Thank you for your recommendations.
I friggin love Vangelis!!
If you want a better (and more existential angst inducing) video on size comparisons you should watch CGP Grey's video on "metric paper."
haha........"Canis Majoris".......the "Big Dog" seems appropriate.
Some sites list UY Scuti as the largest star now but some still list VY Canis Majoris as well.
scientific video and they are using imperial units, umpf. :)
anyway, thanks for your videos and the way you comment the content and ask the right questions. love your intros btw :)
as of now I believe Stephenson-218 is currently the largest star currently known. VY canis majoris is about 66% the size of S-218 (~1420 solar radii v. ~2150 solar radii)
In terms of contact with other intelligent life, people need to remember that we have only been broadcasting radio waves for about 130 years, so there is only a sphere 130 light years in diameter with evidence of our existence. In cosmological terms, that is miniscule.
Someone needs to hire you to do voiceover work. Smooth tone would be perfect for relaxing and decompressing. Great video as always.
If we could search the entire universe (not just the observable) and we found no other life forms, that would be far more terrifying than if we found lots of life.
It's refreshing to find a reactor who's intelligent and insightful. Most reaction channels are pure trash.
I always thought that looking for earth like planets to find life was not the way to go about it. Like you said they might require different conditions to live than us.
Have you seen or read The Expanse?
Probably my favourite sci fi fiction, although it has a lot of competition! The way they deal with 'alien' sentience is so damn good. I get frustrated with sci fi where the aliens all look humanoid because why would they? You mention it here, alien life could exist in forms we either don't recognise or can't currently measure. Expanse does that really well, on top of being a great multi planet political thriller/action series. It also has some of the best set pieces on TV, it's beautiful.
Amin Bhatia's "the interstellar suite" is on youtube.It's dated but there is a charm to it.
Cool t-shirt!! A good song to fit the title is Black Sabbath Into the Void
I think, therefore I am.
I am, therefore I question space facts which would make me question my existence.
Concerning space related songs, may I suggest and old one here.
It was by a brother and sister duo called The Carpenters.
Th song is called “Calling Occupants” which you’ll have no trouble finding on youtube.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
Must Have Space music. Mjr Tom - David Bowie, 200 Light Years from Home - Rolling Stones.
Dexter Wansel's 'Life on Mars' is a good space related tune.
Only a Philly person would reference Dexter. But I could be wrong. 😅😅
The band HAWKWIND have many science and space songs and they are quite good as well. Cheers
Please watch videos by Cool Words. The host, Dr. David Kipping, is an astrophysicist who specialises in exoplanets and specifically, exomoons; ie planets and moons not of our solar system. His videos always blow me away.
In particular, watch his video "Why we haven't found any earth like planets", and "Why we may be surrounded by older civilisations", since life on other earths is a topic you touched upon in this video. But so many more of his videos are mind blowing
That's funny, I'm actually wearing my sublime shirt today
On the same wavelength
The music in that video had no business being that theatrical and epic, but I'm glad that it was.
"They watched too much Isaac Arthur" Hahahahahah

Camus's La Chute (The Fall) is his most existentialist novel. It's like he wrote it with Satre's L'existentialisme est une humanisme open next to him on the desk. Have you heard the Queen song '39, about travelling at near light speeds (a Dr. Brian May track, obviously). Also , there's song by Bruce Dickinson, Navigate The Seas Of The Sun, that is similar.
Ok now I need to read La Chute! Nope, I don’t know either of these songs. I’ll listen tonight. Thank you Rob (:
Love the Sublime top!
Thank you!
Currently, the largest known star in the universe is UY Scuti. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation Scutum and is approximately 1,700 times larger than our Sun in diameter.
Ok, VY Canis Majoris has been surpassed, thank you!
This is like the TH-cam version of the Total Perspective Vortex
Space Lightning
The moving"Cthulhu Tentacle Blob" at the ass end of the Known Observable aaaand
Just when you walk away from Armageddon and Deep Impact with a new Life-Terror unlocked...I find out rogue black holes are a thing(Cut to that Sherlock clip of a cop saying, "We're all as safe as we want to be." and Sherlock just responding, "WRONG.")
My favorite Camus book, (though not necessarily his best,) is the short story collection Exile and the Kingdom.
I don’t know it, perhaps it’d be good for one of the short story readings!
@@NoProtocol For sure it would, there's six stories in the book.
@@NoProtocol Book club coming soon?!
I've been a space nerd for as long as I remember so I love these videos. I love Isaac Arthur as well! Good taste. While long, Melodysheep is highly recommended. Specifically the Sounds of Space video. Dark Science and Astrum are good for morbid tastes and historical spaceflight/speculative science.
For books, I recommend Seeker by Douglas E Richards. It's a decent read about various parties vying to reach some alien tech that fell from space, with feasibly realistic technologies.
For music, I recommend Hugo Kant. It's an experience I can't quite describe but I've never met anyone who didn't like his music. If Hugo Kant, who Kan?
I once read a comment saying "If we are the first civilization or the last, both are equally terrifying"...
I vaguely remember a similar quote - "If there are billions of other intelligent life forms, or if it's just us, both thoughts are equally terrifying."
As far as VY Canis Majoris goes, not quite. It's a debate that VY Canis Majoris used to be a part of but now it's primarily between UY Scuti and Stephenson-218, sometimes among a few others
Nope, V.Y. Canis Majoris has been passed up! UY Scuti is so big it can fit five billion of our own Suns within its perimeter! It is the biggest star to date.
Currently looking at pictures of UY Scuti
Last I heard there was 20,000 earth-likes in our galaxy. Maybe more now. Also um... the U.S. says they have aliens. Ships, and crew. So ya. That happened. The weird part? No one cared. They're like, "Aliens? What about the price of rent!" Also, there's cool new space stuff. The Big Bang kinda' got flipped on it's head lately. They found giant super structures from before there should be any. Big Bang might have been just a huge explosion and not the beginning. Oh also there's video of something leaving a blackhole, which was previously impossible. Be cool to do a vid about the latest news in space, as that's always changing. Series? =) Love your smile. K bai!
The sublime t shirt I see you!!
Enjoyed your post, Thumbs up. As for other life forms outside of our own solar system, we may never know. But it certainly IS possible we're IT. That argument goes along the lines of "There are 130,000,000 Japanese but only ONE of them is the Emperor." And it doesn't matter if that population is bigger or smaller, there is still only one Emperor. We only know for sure there is life here...and who knows for how long. Everything else is speculation.
That analogy makes little sense. You're comparing a human concept with something not bound by any rules, time or space. It is just significantly more unlikely that we are completely alone than we being the only ones in the entire universe - including single cell life forms, don't forget. And the numbers do make a difference of you are speculating on chances, of course. If you throw 5 times or you throw 20 times, your chances of catching the ball increases a lot. You're not going to say "but it IS possible you can only catch it once out of 20 times" in that context, so why would you claim it if the difference is in the trillions?
No Protocol Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
For a future space reaction video: The mind-blowing scale of The Milky Way by Epic Spaceman
I was blown away... it compares our milkyway to the size of the US and our solar system.

How far away you have to be before you can stair at the sun with no damage to your eyes? Is Mars far enough?
Hey👋🏼 may have suggested this before but think you might enjoy Nightwish ( Symphonic metal band from Finland, With Dutch singer Floor Jansen) - “The Greatest Show On Earth” about 4,6 billion years of Earth ( Live in Wembley is my favourite version with Richard Dawkins) It is about 25 minutes but well worth the time.
If you enjoyed The Stranger, you may enjoy The Plague by Camus. It's a much denser work, but it deals with the onset of a plague in a small, seaside town in French Algeria and how the residents - in particular a doctor - react to and cope with it.

1:24 The British billion used to be one million million, and the British system as a whole made logical sense:
1 million = one set of six zeros
1 British billion = two sets of six zeros (bi = two)
1 British trillion = three sets of six zeros (tri = three)
1 British quadrillion = four sets of six zeros (quad = four)
... and so on.
However, the American billion won out in the end, even if it made a tad less sense :)
The only thing more amazing than this is the small. Atoms, electrons quarks etc
Don't really understand the title of this video, because i don't question my existence right now, it makes it even more special to me to be here! 🤷♂️👍🏻
But i do believe there have been, are and there will be other life forms out there in the vastness of space, but we'll probably never meet or find them, also because of the inimaginable distances and evolutionaire timelines, where humans are just infants! 👽👶😁✌🏼
I'm not sure which is more beautiful. Her intellect or her face? 🤔 She's definitely out of my league. She's top 1% of our population. To be beautiful and intelligent at the same time is extremely rare.
As a space nerd, I cannot not raccomand you Cool Worlds channel, one of my favourite.
"A journey to the end of the universe" is probably one of his best, mind boggling video. Give it a watch if you want!
Distance is the big thing. The nearest stars bar our own are 4 light years away meaning we are seeing how they were looking from 4 years ago. The further away you go the further back in time we are seeing. We could discover a planet which has human like creatures on it now but we are still just seeing dinosaurs.
Some things to keep in mind is that we've only been broadcasting signals for the last 150 years. So the farthest those signals have traveled is 150 light years away. That's not very far at all. On top of that is the timing. You may have had fully advanced civilizations that have risen and then gone extinct millions of years ago. The likelihood of two advanced civilizations forming at roughly the same time and within close enough proximity to receive signals is astronomically rare.
Cool worlds - watching the end of the world. Its about space kind of but about our planet.
Great video
Thanks Joe (:
Since you asked, another Hubble video, if you haven't seen it: th-cam.com/video/udAL48P5NJU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E73gKGwxORkmEBnA
Gigapixels of Andromeda. As of 9 or so years ago, it was the highest resolution photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. Each tiny dot is a single star, one of the 1 trillion stars in Andromeda. My mind was completely blown when I realized what exactly I was seeing...
The giant-looking starbursts are actually stars in the Milky Way that happen to be between us and Andromeda - they look huge because they are so much closer.
Here's another perspective on how big a billion is:
If you make $100,000 a year, it will take you 10 years to earn a million dollars (earn- not have)
If you make $1M a year, it will take you 1000 years to earn a billion.
Just a little food for thought at tax time...
