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.

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...

According to religion everything has been created by God that includes everything even the laws of causation. Lets assume those events did happen in our ancestors” How would they notify the later generations??” Through religion of course there were no video cameras or computer existed. How would you explain cosmology and other scientific proofs mentioned in a book (Quran) more than 1400 years ago??. There is so much we don’t know and no it’s not our responsibility to know but rather believe. Why do we have these emotions that have nothing to do with living?? Like Right and wrong, Good and evil, Believe and disbelief, Birth and death, Love and hate, Life before death and life after death. Most key things exist in pairs. Why is that ?? 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. Why out of billion other possibilities that our fate chose the possibility of life?? Even within those billion possibilities there were billion more possibilities attached to it. Seems like a perfect design so we can come and enjoy. Our consciousness is the answer to everything. Use it wisely!!

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.

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.

I’ll never forget spending 8 months in jail with Brian Greene’s “The Elegant Universe” as the only real science/physics book worth reading. I must have read it cover to cover 7 times, and although I had a working understanding of astrophysics before that, afterwards I truly understood relativity and it’s implications for aging in space travel. I also got a very detailed grasp of string theory and quantum mechanics, and that experience has given me a lasting passion for this topic. Sometimes blessings are in disguise, truly. This was such a poetic and powerful illustration of time dialation/lorentz factor. Beautiful work.

When you’re in a Texas prison surrounded by (mostly) by people who could care less about intellectual pursuits it puts things into perspective and you realize that you can do so much better. I got out intact, I cleaned up and moved on, but yeah it was quite an experience.

@@L20Nardi The only way I can describe nothing is by thinking about where I was before I was born, but being aware now of a past before me implies I must have existed somehow, the specific things I am constantly drawn to since I was a child (my likes and dislikes) the way it progresses implies I lived a life before this, or I exist with the purpose of continuing something that is not yet finished. 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.

The ever intriguing though of moving through space and time at a rate so different from our home while still experiencing our relative senses in this same event is absolutely mind boggling. 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.

[@iknowaguy7176]

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? I rather have come to the conclusion that if we are, in fact, the only beings within the universe, this would mean that we are so small and so rare that each and every one of us is rarer than an entire galaxy when there are 100-400 Billion Stars in the Milky Way alone and all of us are provided with heat to survive by ONE STAR!!!

Nothing is more humbling, or feels more important and edifying, than astronomy / astrophysics / cosmology. The death of the universe never fails to bring a tear to my eye. I was in tears at the end of this video.

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

[@annoyed707]

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.

[@FeralMutiny]

There is something so mind-blowing and, at the same time, so heart-achingly sad about time. Thank you for the brief journey!

[@reticul8r64]

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

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say this is one of my all time favorite KZbin videos.

[@justindavis8793]

this guy breaks it down better than most I've seen before. that universal eye bit is tremendous

[@e.mcguire1538]

Just superb, Dr. Kipping. This is perhaps the best video I've seen on KZbin and joins the others ones just as excellent that you have given us. I can't imagine being a high school or grad student again and having this kind of extraordinary material available. Thank you!

[@Astronomiespechtler]

Dude, you make amazing videos! I owe you hours of deep fascination and your videos feed my curiosity, but at the same time when one thinks about all the knowledge that comes with your videos, it only lets my curiosity grow even more! A humble thank you from an Amateur-Astronomer looking up into the nightsky whenever life allows, fascinated to the point of shedding tears thinking about this unimaginable vastness above our heads. Your way of talking and putting in words what u like to express to us viewers is by far the most emotional and poetical i've ever heard a fellow human being talking about astronomy. Keep up the great work sir - thank you existing and for filling youtube with such fascinating content!

[@Mike12131984]

A better piece of content than any movie or show could offer. I cried tears of sadness, but by the end, tears of peaceful bliss and gratitude.

This narration and video made me feel like when I was a child watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos,they were peaceful moments in time.

[@MaximumBan]

Totally!!!!

[@robertkidd3812]

I have the first print (1980) that Carl Sagan wrote: "THE COSMOS IS ALL THAT IS OR EVER WAS OR EVER WILL BE".

What an incredible human being you are! Thank you for these amazing videos, please don’t stop making them! I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old, and can’t wait till they’re old enough to watch this with me…

[@TheWye]

This is an incredibly well-done video. Your narration is also beautifully done. Thank you for the amazing journey.

[@faridsa1418]

This was surprisingly emotional. Really felt the onions at the end there.

@John Jay Hrmm, reminds me of my first heroic dose of 13 grams dried psilocybin on an empty stomach in pure darkness... tippy stuff indeed. Btw, I like your rabbit hole

@John Jay LSD had a very synthetic feel with some u desired side effects while coming down. My next endeavor is looking like ayahuasca

[@Gremsongs]

I am making a monthly donation now. I did this because I watched this video with great interest. It was very well explained. I was able to understand what was being presented. I wanted to make a one time donation so I clicked the Donate icon, and when I read one of the main goals of Cool Worlds was to communicate with the public, I decided I wanted to support this effort. Great job on this video. I never really was able to grasp the concept of never being able to exceed the speed of light until I watched this video. I had to play that section of the video back to hear it again. As I was watching, listening, and understanding, I got chills all over my body. That was a moment I will never forget.

Great.exactly my feelings.
