I truly am thankful for finding this channel, as you say he is indeed the complete package. A voice that is easy to listen to, highly eloquent and is able to convey complex scientific information in a manner that my 10 year old niece can understand. Though the Prof owes me a lot of money, after finding his channel my love of space was reignited and magnified; so much so that I now spend most weekends (weather permitting) with my newly acquired Astro-photography setup.

This is actually one of the best videos explaining space and time, that narrator is a pro, I was kinda getting a scared and depressed feeling as the video plays to the end, then finally at the end he makes you feel happy by reassuring you to enjoy the Universe as is. What a story.

[@WildWombats]

We all expect an end to this universe at some point. What I think about, however, is can we outlast our universe? When the universe ends, does that mean our story has to end too as humanity and the legacy with it? Some may argue there is no way possible. I would argue, you have quite the amount of time to figure such a problem out - trillions upon trillions of years. Well, 5 billion or so to get away from the Sun first before it engulfs our Earth but if we manage surviving that, our odds of survival beyond are hopefully pretty good at that point. I like to believe, somehow, someway, we can outlast this universe and live to the next universe to tell our tale. I understand the sheer amount of time it would take to even reach that point. But there could be alternatives. It might be that we can simply travel to another universe rather than wait for a new rebirth that may or may not ever happen. If you subscribe the multiverse theory, there's even variations of how multiverse works, but depending how you believe the multiverses work, I would hope we could manage to hop over to another universe before ours ends. Anyways main point of this rant, I hope for and believe that it would be Humanity's greatest achievement to outlast this universe and live to tell our tale in another universe and the fate that will inevitably befall their universe too. Once we've unlocked that secret, Humanity can live on forever.

[@douglascraig2135]

So I've been teaching myself the concepts of astrophysics for the last 18 months. I've seen all your videos at least twice and now this for the third time, and it has brought tears to my eyes. It conjures up so many emotions I never thought possible from a science documentary. It puts everything in perspective and makes me wonder why people aren't celebrating this window of opportunity we call life each and every day!

[@WildWombats]

As someone who teaches astrophysics, maybe you can either laugh at my silly notions or perhaps be inspired off of them, as I am not considering the possibilities of what we currently know, as I expect that what we know in billions to trillions of years from now (if we make it that long) will be far, far more advanced than what we know now. We only have record of humanity's writings within the past 6,000 years or so give or take. And civilizations were only formed in the hundreds of thousands of years ago range. Humanity hasn't even had so much as 1 million years together as a civilization, not even close. And humanity has only even had about 200 years to play with cool new technology like electricity. That's not a lot of time, and yet we have this expectation we should know everything by now when that couldn't be further from the truth. SO i'm sorry to preface with all of that but felt it was important to say. But my main point is this. Could we not outlive the universe? Is it impossible for us to do that? perhaps under our current understanding it might be, but I believe there's most likely a way to bypass the ending of the universe. If we believe multiverse is a thing, there's many variations of multiverse. Depending on the variation, why would it not be possible to simply travel to another universe before yours ends? Additionally, can we not figure some self-sustaining method without natural causes to generate energy to sustain us after the universe is gone until a new universe appears, even if it takes quintillions to unspeakable amount of years where time is meaningless at this point? The big problem with that posit is the fact that our current understanding would state energy would become a problem in the ending of the universe, but perhaps we don't understand the full scope or we can bypass some limitations in some way? All I would love is for humanity to outlast this universe and make it to the next to tell our tale about our pale blue dot.

Don't blame them. Most people ---- outside of tenured astronomy professors and a few souls living off of the grids ---- don't have time to sit down to ponder about stars, giant filaments of galactic structures or even the millions of small molecular & atomic entities moving inside a single human cell, doing wondrous things for the human body, from cellular reparation to red blood & white blood cell activities to feed tissues & organs with oxygen as well as to fighting off foreign infections. Or how most telomeres slowly wear out, from aging and stress, no longer able to protect the ends of the chromosomal structures, after many cellular divisions and, as a result, we die... Human deaths are basically cellular deaths, in large scale... due to crucial cells unable to fight off infections, genetic disorders, or a combination of both... Some life forms, like some jelly fish like Turritopsis dohrnii, for example, could "revert" at the cellular level to earlier stages and restart their cellular growth like babies again..... & theoretically, there's nothing except being physically damaged or eaten that'd stop them from living "forever..." Anyway, most humans are too busy, too locked into their pursue of making a living, from those barely getting by from day to day to those like the Buffetts, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerbergs et al who're raking in tens of billions of dollar every month, due to tens of millions of army ants slaving away, taking turns doing 24/7 work for them. THAT is why mot of mankind's 7.8B people are still believing the same Stone, Iron, and Bronze age tribal fairy tales our remote ancestors believed in, in those millenniums in the past. When you struggle so much, so constantly, with so much to gain or to lose in material comfort, or in position of power.... you don't have quality time to reflect on bigger, smaller, and far away natural phenomena that are not easily pictured like the typical stories and pictures of angels, saints, holy prophets, divine entities, etc. engaging in movie-like activities for you, against you, or "up there" in imaginary paces where your beloved ones who've died have gone to, etc. We humans still are a relatively primitive species, even if the work of a few hard nosed, not easily swayed eccentrics, over the last 3,000 years, have shed some lights on Nature and some of her cycles, patterns, behaviors, and constituents...

We have two major organs in our body but only one heart?? There is so many questions are unanswered by science? Science only describes something that exist in way. It doesn’t describe why it exist.

Unfortunately, this is pure science fiction. The "proven" "scientific" ideas --- equations, mathematics, methods, etc ---- to travel as he described here are 100% pure science fiction. Zero of it will ever be science. In real life, on large objects, getting them to go 1/2 of ONE PERCENT the speed of light will be close to impossible because of fuel problems, because of human frailty (through evolution, we've evolved to be extremely fragile, physiologically), and because of space "junk" (tony atomic and molecule and larger things that fly really fast every which way in the "vacuum" of space). There are many other problems --- in the 100% inhospitable "vacuum of space" --- but those three are among the Top 5 biggest challenges.... as to why HUMANS will never be able to build giant ships that go beyond 1/2 of 1% of the speed of light... so, again, the speeds "achieved using real science ideas" here is just pure thumb twirling by tenured professors and researchers who have hard core science fiction stuff going on in their heads. And THAT IS GOOD for us; it just is NOT science. The theoretical and engineering DIFFERENCES between (#1) lobbing a few tons of objects (of mostly electronic gadgets) into local space --- or even further afield --- and (#2) sending dozens to hundreds of humans on spacecraft weighing hundreds of thousands of tons that could grow its own foods onboard, traveling at 5%, 30%, 50% the speed of light, etc..... are in ORDERS of magnitude humans will never conquer, whether in 50, 100, or 5,000 years... Sending highly advanced sturdy, lightweight robots... sending pure uploaded human DNA (to hopefully be assembled by advanced alien species hundreds to thousands of years into the future)... or sending decently large and slow but well constructed spaceships that contain a few dozen humans that could reach the Alpha Centauri system in a few generations time.... and do that in the next 200 - 500's years, very possible... Anyway, I grew up on hard core science fiction --- having read over 2,000 books, since my early teens, from the gold age of science fiction of the 1930 - 60s... to the present --- so when I come across hard core science fiction ideas, I immediately spot them. Talking about using "matter-anti-matter," "anti gravity," "dark matter," "dark energy," etc as fuel is PURE Star Trek "Dilithium" stuff... again, that's NOT real science.

In the darkness my imagination creates reality from the hollow void which penetrates me, even without thought, these specific things are there on my path again, impossible to ignore, and the more I accept them, the more things make sense, that I am adding to something greater than myself, something important, that it favors those who acknowledge it, and prepares you for the next step, and no matter where I go in this world, no matter where I am, I am still myself, and it is there, paving a path before me, I am never where I'm not supposed to be, it calculates, and the more I learn to read its code, the more it gives me to bring me closer to it, therefore I am not alone, never, and there is no true nothingness or void, it just seems that way for the things which are not yet, the things which are still to come, have not been assembled by the imagination of ones mind, which means that all that is to come, all that will ever be, exists already somewhere and just needs to be calculated correctly into an organized form, for imperfection requires constant refinement, what's the point of life without refinement? this may be too much information, for to truly understand you must have your own experience of it, and maybe you do, and that's why you are here, to confirm or to progress or to refine, whatever your reason is, I hope that I have helped you somehow, for you have already done the same for me.

It makes me realize that the values we hold and construct our world by simply don't matter and that's in the scale of galaxies, not planets or even tribes. In a very weird way, it's comforting. You don't matter, I don't matter and yet it only matters if we choose to.

Unimportant??? Well, lets just imagine that we are in fact the only conscious beings within this "unimaginable" and large universe that is so large that it "defies human comprehension" and you feel unimportant?

@@mccmorlickmccmorlick1465 the consequence, as described in this video, will be the fac pt that you're not actually looking at any other matter as the atoms of every cosmic entities will have decayed a good amount of time ago and furthermore, will be unattainable for matters of causality and hence not inherently worthwhile for discussion, and.. Well, that's that.

This concept needs to be made into a movie. The astronauts return to a barren earth...

watch the original planet of the apes?

There is a movie called time trap on Netflix, and tho the concept of how it happens is different, the way the universe appears is almost exactly the same as in this scenario

‘Let us use the time we have wisely’. What a way to end this video!!

What could possibly be a better use of time than late night toilet seat tweeting about fake news?

[@matthewmartin3190]

That is the only thing you have as a human. Is time. The thing that dominates you and everything you do. Every second is a second closer to eternal death. Use it wisely.

[@sleazyeezy9452]

I’ve been addicted and binge watching your videos since I just found it. 😂 love the way you explain stuff in a simple way for a normal person to understand, thank you!

[@saraferguson1156]

Even though I can say with absolute certainty that this will never happen to me, it still made me really sad to think about leaving behind earth and everything i've ever known, and never be able to return. To never see my family and friends again or feel the sun on my face. The clips from Interstellar, especially the one where he gets back to earth and finds himself younger than his daughter, were an excellent way of conveying the true cost that traveling to the distant reaches of space would require. This video is sad, yet ultimately hopeful and reassuring, because it puts our problems into perspective and shows us how small our lives truly are in the grand scheme of things. This shows that everything that is going on right now is but a small moment in time. This will definitely be one I rewatch again and again.

@Tom Price This world is not evil, it has evils, we live in a beautiful world, and we should be grateful to even be here, seeing as how tiny and insignificant we are (as shown in the video).

And also about how unimaginably incredibly vast the universe is.....maybe because they say that time and space are intimately and permanently connected.
