My grandpa was born in 1928 and when he died I couldn't stop myself from thinking what that man has gone through: Born during the great depression where people went back to trade goods because money wasn't worth the paper it was made off; spending his child-years during the rise of the nazi regime; being a teen that was drafted shortly before Germany lost the war, and living in Switzerland to hide so he wasn't forced to fight for the 3rd Reich. He helped rebuilding Germany, saw it split into two and, some decades later, reunite again. He witnessed the rise of terrorism, the internet, computers, TVs, the EU. He saw the moonlanding live. He survived fatal illnesses that we now eradicated due to vaccines. And he had direct contact with people who fought in world war 1, with people who didn't know what a fridge was, and he walked on streets where cars were a rare thing to see because most people still used horses. All of that made me think about all the stuff I will witness in my future.
Your comment holds great emotional power and substantial value, I've been privileged to get a chance and read it. Thank you.
I wonder what we'll witness and live through.
Unfortunately with Peak Oil come and gone, and the Middle East about to run out of their last drops, civilization will go the other way now...
That’s amazing dude... your grandpa’s both lucky and unlucky for having to go through all that. He experienced a huge change in Earth’s history, but he also had to struggle to survive through it sounds like
And you got to live in the era when teens are hospitalized for eating tide pods...

he was.

He is and he will
why the fuck isnt modern education more like vsauce
Because modern education pays peanuts.
+ian schmitt I think its because not everyone is like Michael, not everyone is happy with their job and not everyone can attract people in learning and make them interested. There are good teachers though, but not as many.
+ian schmitt this is why micheal should get the supposed millions he gets from ad revenue
+ian schmitt Without the education we did receive, we would struggle to follow most of vsauce's content.

That montage at the end is one of my favorite vsauce moments ever. I love the atmosphere he created for his videos
One moment: Jesus Crucified
0.5 seconds later: Steam Engine
0.25 seconds later: Spaceships
it was cavemen, cavemen, cavemen, cavemen, cavemen, pyrami- wait no caesa- nope jesu- is that a city oop video's done ok cool love that
0.5 seconds is more than 0.25 seconds
kamlesh minetech 😂
0.5 seconds is longer than 0.25 seconds
Bruh we know but technically speaking ~1800 years passed after Jesus died when the first Steam Engines were made, then just ~200 years passed when the first Spaceships were made.

Fluoroquinolones are a class of commonly-prescribed antibiotics that have a high rate of side effects such as nerve and tendon damage and can cause immense and lifelong pain to some users unlucky enough to experience severe side effects from the medication.

I mean, that's essentially what science is made to ask.
Yeah. I can't wait to see how dark matter, energy, quantum gravity, etc. Are all explained with one theory
And these are just the EXTREMELY big things, there are also smaller ones, for example, why are all neutrinos we've observed been left handed?
Thats precisely why i stopped caring about astrophysics,space and all that stuff. So many wild conjectures that try to explain stuff that would never matter to mortals. Thats why its far more interesting to learn about yhe world and how it works
2:48 anyone else notice the Oxford comma got removed?
Lmao that has to be micheal trolling
I've been following this channel for fucking ever repeatedly watching every single episode, but I noticed it like a couple minutes ago.
My life has been a lie until now.
bruh hes gonna reference that someday and make a 40 minute video about the "nature of punctuation and communication" . looking forward to it
the what?
@@wash8533 When listing things some people use a comma before the final "And X" while some don't, as in "i like red, blue, and yellow" as opposed to "I like red, blue and yellow". That last comma is an Oxford comma, and is considered unnecessary by many even though it's grammatically correct.
“The only things humans are worse at than not killing each other, is predicting the future”

Pretty sure meerkats kill the most of their own species.. I think humans rank somewhere in the 30s in terms of species that kill their own which is still kinda high but whatever not so fun fact I guess
@@scottmarquez2673 Predicting the weather just one day ahead 100% would require us to know the factors of: today's temperature, humidity, prevailing winds, and local geography 100%. Sounds simple enough but it truly isn’t. Especially considering the weather forecast usually covers large areas.
5 years later and I still get a strange rush of emotion from the montage at the end. You're a true poet, Michael Stevens
Yes it was one of the best vsauce videos
same, i get chills whenever i see it. absolutely brilliant
Yeah i just saw it for the first time holy crap what a reality check. It makes me feel a lot better lol
What’s the music that he used for it
For anyone who is wondering The song is called "Hydrogen by Jake Chudnow" available on YT.
"Modern humans started 100,000 years ago"

In the last ten minutes of the year that is 2020, I decided to watch this video.
The clock was nearing midnight, and I was experiencing flashbacks from this year- all the tragedies, all the personal problems, all of the pain..
But then, I remembered my friends, how happy they made me- how this chaotic year ended in only happiness-
And then, as the clock turned and the world faded into 2021, the last thing I heard was "-and as always, thanks for watching."
Jesus, that's hard to imagine that from "Ancient" Egypt until now was only four seconds at the end.
Well now I understand what "unleaded gasoline" means
ironically, it also implicates that the past generations were having their brains poisoned.... and were probably mentally hindered a bit
@@m1ckyg21 not only that, but their DNA was damaged and they passed that DNA on to future generations...
It's just Gasoline without lead...
Since no one mentioned what the substitute for lead is, I might as well just say it. Manganese is our new anti knocking agent. But guess what, unfortunately it's also incredibly dangerous - might even say just as dangerous as lead. The whole "unleaded" thing works really well from a marketing perspective though
@@cyborggenos5142 This is part of the reason why I like e85. It has a higher aki, has a bit of a cooling effect, plus with that better anti knock index you can make better, safer, more efficient use of a turbocharger. Yeah, you use 30% more but considering it burns a little bit cleaner and it is significantly cheaper than regular unleaded, I'm not seeing many downsides. Apart from availability in some places. But with a flex fuel sensor and a proper ecu like a Haltech, you can run it on premium and it'll adjust for it to get you to your next e85 pump. Also, race car :D
Edit: Forgot to add the obvious benefit of it being 85% renewable as a bio/fossil fuel blend rather than a straight fossil fuel derivative.
As child, i was very curious and i loved reading about our world. But then this part of me fade away. And Michael made me curious again, i can not put this to words, but i am very grateful, man.
Don't lose that feeling again dude

If you’re a teenager, your grandparents probably remember when segregation ended.
And their parents - when it started
Well I'm 28 and my Granparents would of been about 11 and 12 when segregation ended and nither of them really remember it.
@@Tob1Kadach1 idk man I’m 15 and my grandpa clearly remembers as far back as when Kennedy was assassinated so
@@Tob1Kadach1 well it also depends where they live. Way bigger dead in the south than in the north
I am not a teen, and I am from Russia. But my great-grandparents were illiterate peasants born in 19th century, lived the start of their lives like serfs, and out of their 7 kids 3 died in childhood. And one son died in WW2. They never learned to read and write, but their kids all had secondary professional education, and had 1-2 children each. Great-grandfather was executed during Stalinism for made-up crime, but great-grandmother lived very long life, almost until she was 100 (she never knew the exact year she was born though)
When I saw this video back when I was still in secondary school, this video filled me with awe towards earth and what humanity had become. Now after watching this as an adult, this whole concept of humanity is just so terribly weird, or even life it self. just being alive is terrible, chaotic and pointless at the same time through adult eyes. I want that child like wonder back.
Same here. I keep coming back to old vsauce videos and they all seem so different through adult eyes
Yes, it does seem very different now. Somehow a bit sad. This was, I remember, one of the best videos for me when I was in school. I was fascinated by everything in it. But I guess we will never be able to feel the same way for the old videos now.
The newer ones though, will fire that spark since all of us have matured with the creators of these videos.
Being alive may be pointless but being human is giving it a point
I mean, that’s one way to look at it, for me, learning new things like the stuff Vsauce teaches me makes the universe seem so interesting and fun and gives me a bit of meaning just from that, there’s never enough out there to learn and I never want to stop
If Michael was my professor for every class I'd have a 4.0 and I'd be a doctor by now
no you wont
+asif naseri ikr

A very Vsauce comment
michael saying the ozone hole is unlikely to heal for hundreds of years does such a good job proving his point because we now know the ozone hole is likely to completely heal within a few decades

Imagine google but the “I’m feeling lucky” button was the only option
That is Vsauce
You aren’t wrong, haha
And you get lucky every time.
Does that exist anymore. I was thinking about it like 3 weeks ago

What does that button do anyway?
That ending though! So mind blowing.
If you think that is mind blowing (which it still is), you should check out Supertasks. Vsauce has the mind of Einstein.

5:55 it's pretty ironic that he said the ozone layer wouldn't heal until we would be dead, 7 years later it has been fixed😶
It's not fully healed, that will still take a good few decades
It's healing. It won't be healed for well over a human lifetime

I love the story behind the last guillotine execution. Someone was on death row in France, and at the time, you could still choose your execution method: electric chair or lethal injection. But the choice of guillotine was still technically a viable option this mad lad decided that’s how he wanted to die. There were none around at the time, so they had to build a new one. When it was ready, we started to hesitate, but was forced into it because they spent money on it. That was about the time Europe started to question the death penalty
I’d definitely rather be beheaded than electrocuted or poisoned.
That is one of the most mindblowning episodes on Vsauce

Nitrous I’ve watched this video at least five times over the years and I just noticed this! I was just about to post a comment when I saw yours. What is Michael trying to tell us?!
And he did it right as the author said "writing". I feel like that was intentional.

{BasicMemester: the Unofficial?} An oxford comma is a comma just before an "and" in a sentance while listing some things.

It seems like the ultimate pathos of his life was that every creation that seemed beneficial at first wound up deadly
tbh if I ever would become famous, this is probably how it would turn out

I like to imagine Satan hired him as a general when he went to Hell, only to eventually cost him the battle at the End times.

One of my favorites is that the Byzantine Empire, which was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, was fully conquered in 1453, just 39 years before Columbus' voyage discovered the New World in 1492. By that time, Rome had existed in one form or another for over 2,700 years.
wow, this is horribly false
LemonGrape Nope
By that logic The Roman Empire still exists as Italy.
The Holy Roman Empire still exists as the Vatican.
The Byzantine Empire occupied the same land where the Eastern Roman Empire once stood, doesn't mean it was the Eastern Roman Empire.
So this doesn't make much sense in my mind.
@@snowjix Byzantium is a modern name. They called themselves romans and their kingdom was called The Roman Empire. They didn't even use the "eastern" part of their name, because they considered themselves as roman as Caesar. Don't spew shit you don't know anything about.
@@JohnnyBo-v Byzantine is a name artists gave the Roman empire to distinguish it from the ancient Roman empire
Naoto is definitely the Persona 4 best girl
