A VERY soft spoken British man tells you interesting space facts while you sleep

SUBSCRIBE to help our unintentional ASMR collection grow bit.ly/UASMR and hit that 🔔. One of the best unintentional ASMR videos for sleep. Up there with John Butler ASMR and our most popular unintentional ASMR medical exam videos we've featured, comes the best unintentional ASMR scientist we've heard yet, Prof. Russell Stannard.
We’ve always been fascinated with science related videos as they really make great for accidental ASMR gold. What’s even more appealing is a science video voiced with a very soft spoken British accent! Luckily, we’ve come across this unintentional ASMR video as suggested by one of our followers, Lee. This relaxing explanatory video features British Professor, Russell Stannard, as he talks about the mind, space, and all things science. Full credit goes to Professor Russell Stannard and The Open University, and its online learning platform, OpenLearn.
-- Our Edits --
In this compilation of science learning videos, we removed the music at the start of each video, as well as a few times where Professor Stannard’s voice is raised for certain words to ensure that you only hear his gentle voiced moments. We also tidied up the audio by editing out a few sections where there were some loud moments, as well as non-relaxing parts, to specifically edited to maximize the relaxing ASMR effect of this video while you sleep. Hope you like the changes! Please let us know what you did/did not like in the comments below.
-- Original Video --
Russell Stannard is a retired high-energy particle physicist, currently holding the position of Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Open University. In this compilation of ten videos, Prof. Stannard talks about subjects ranging from free will and determinism, to space and the nature of time, in this 10-part series, Boundaries of the Knowable. Did you like this topic? What interesting space facts did you learn? Let us know in the comments section below!

[@PetraKann]

Interesting that you cut an earthworm in half. Studies on earthworm severing have produced some unexpected results. When you cut a worm in half the tail bit will grow a new head and the head bit will grow a new tail, thus giving you two new worms. The process is sensitive to electrical responses so you can cause a one headed bit of worm to grow another head ending up with 2 headed worms. Likewise you can end up with worms with two tails. The interesting part of this research is that if you cut the 2 headed worm in half the two halves also grow into two headed worms. Implying that this trait is passed on in just one generation. They have also taken worm cutting into zero gravity situations

Could we potentially find the gene that does this and essentially use it on human to regrow lets say limbs or is that pure science fiction

@@ultravolt4555 I believe this is possible today but for specific types of tissue. You can also argue that Stem Cells can achieve this.

But to genetically produce a functioning heart? Or Liver? Not sure what the level of technology is in this area.

[@Nefville]

This is amazing not only it is super relaxing its very accurate I hate watching asmr videos where the facts are wrong, then its all I can think about.

[@detectiverigby3949]

You know what? I searched for boring documentaries to help me sleep. This documentary is very interesting. Now I can't sleep.

[@SergioCastillo87]

Usually i just put an asmr video to play on the background and concentrate on other stuff, this video is something i actually want to listen to so saved for later!

[@ak47wd40]

I would say people who like unintentional asmr videos probably prefer it to be authentic and real (ie unedited) even if some parts do not directly themselves create asmr - the overall effect is better the more real it is and even if the voice is louder in some parts, in my experience, the asmr doesn’t go away. It would be better to hear the whole complete thing. He does have a lovely voice.

This is superb. Unintentionally interesting and hilarious whilst also being unintentionally sleep inducing! What an experience.

[@AshPuppy]

I came here to fall asleep and now I’m having a serious thought provoking conversation with my boyfriend after watching the entire video. Well done.

[@UncleFester84]

This is all extremely interesting, and explained in a simple and understandable matter. I do absolutely loathe the interruptions that cut away important stuff here and there

[@kevincasson9848]

This man is brilliant at explaining things!! Why havn't i heard of him before? He really is an incredible educator!!!

[@jessossenkopp]

This video is literally A+ My brain loves the content and this man’s ability to teach but simultaneously enjoys the ASMR sound tones. I’m blissfully confused.

Professor of Physics at the Open University (later Professor Emeritus). In 1986, he was awarded the Templeton UK Project Award for "significant contributions to the field of spiritual values; in particular for contributions to greater understanding of science and religion". He was awarded the OBE for "contributions to physics, the Open University, and the popularisation of science" (1998) and the Bragg Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics for "distinguished contributions to the teaching of physics" (1999).

Yeah.who are we?

[@veroniquemorhange]

Great thing About unintentional asmr is it has a secondary educational effect. Thanks to this we can surprise people with random interesting facts 😀

[@AnthonyD28]

Would the movie Space Odyssey 2001 be considered "unintentional ASMR' ??

[@WhisperedFactsASMR]

I love surprising people with random facts lol they think I'm really smart haha, what topics do you enjoy the most?

Russell is a gem. Excellent production.

[@carrained]

Yeah no I won't be falling asleep to this information about the brain, it's freaking me out. I wanna know about space and space alone, THAT would be calming. I jumped forward and it was still existential crisis-time

[@tammyariel2982]

Years ago, I woke up to the television on the news channel reporting that Stephen hawking had passed. I didn’t quite know if I was dreaming or awake . When I realized I was awake, I had a terrible feeling and I didn’t want to get up. The fact that this video can help me go to sleep with good vibes space stuff, in contrast to my experience, makes me feel nice

[@cynicalentity3313]

Scientist: “are worms conscious?” Worm: “hello loud creature, can you understand me as I’m sending out tiny little vibrations as my form of communication?” Scientist: “let’s cut it in half!” Worm: “ what are you doing? Arrrrrgh! Why?!? Why!?!”

[@erickv993]

While I sleep? I was looking for a relaxing video to fall asleep… after started watching this, now I am sure I’m not going to sleep for weeks! So much questions, so much knowledge 🤯

[@bradasbury7006]

With how fast and crazy life feels it's videos like this that just slows things down in such a pleasant way.

[@tomservo75]

This is a very fascinating concept. I don't get the ASMR part of it, but it's nice and peaceful to listen to.

[@madardauchiha878]

The fact that he pulled some worms out of a box in his desk raises so many questions I no longer care about space I want to know more about this magical box of worms

[@25imusic51]

Im trying to fall asleep but these facts are blowing my mind. Im gonna call out of work so i can watch this till 6 am. Hopefully he teaches me how to go back in time 🙃

His voice is so soothing, but the subject matter is steering me toward an existential crisis! 😂

I love that I can listen to this on full volume while trying to go to sleep and not have any problems with it being too loud

[@WhisperedFactsASMR]

Yeah I try to make my volume quite high so you need to turn it down a little, in the event you fall asleep and an ad come son, that way the ad will be about the same level as my video and not blast anyone's ears off. Big issue in the ASMR world lol.

Quality video! Thank you for posting this 🙏

[@xanecosmo5061]

I only left this on to make some background noise when I'm studying alone in my room. But I actually got interested in this.

[@justinwayne445]

I learned from the video that our consciousness cannot be predicted absolutely from the sub-atomic level on out like an iteration in a sequence, because electrons are unpredictable. Having said that, I think the randomness at the sub-atomic level somehow producing measurable patterns we know as the laws of physics is a great irony. A creator source has to exist, right? I mean, what made matter? Zzzzz...

[@ryaaaaanwhat4072]

I love everything you say soo much. Thank you 🙏 I looked so hard for your video. Please more! Thank you a million

I really love this~ He was so calming and didn't know it. Someone must have told him that he puts them to sleep in a good way. It would be very hard to stay awake in his class~
