love how at 05:15 the dyson sphere theme kicks in, the moment the Kurzgesagt video talks about typ2 civilisations having reached the point of building said dyson sphere (swarm)

[@TheMadDrD]

5:45 Stellar Engine comes in as well

Cool! Thank you!

[@lydgiaj]

so was it a team or not epic mountain

[@Epicmountainmusic]

@@lydgiaj we are a team taking turns on making the music. So it is always one composer for each song ;-)

was it you this time guy who writes the comments? btw i think this is your best soundtrack yet and tell kurzgesagt i was waiting for this video and now that its here its my favorite

[@Sandiwichi]

wait so is it the same person writing the comments? and does everyone share the same account or is it just 1 person controlling it and taking the music? There are so many questions this opens up it would be impossible to answer them all.

this music should be played every time humanity gets to the next level on the kardashev scale

[@reneevandyck7017]

y'know, seeing everyones comments on how they mixed the dyson sphere and stellar engine tracks to show continuity got me thinking. They make so many videos on how humanity would move forward, from moon bases to space elevators, to skyhooks, to mars bases, to dyson spheres, to stellar engines and so on. How cool would it be if they made a video about a space timeline? They would explain how humanity would move forward and become a type 3 civilization. Spread the word! I think that video could be a culmination of all the space videos they've made. I would pay actual money to see that.

[@yanihero129]

I dont think theres a way to determine what will happen after type 2. We already know the stellar engine video explains how we would get to other stars, thats most likely all we currently know. Theres just no way to predict what problems we will have to face.

[@reneevandyck7017]

@@yanihero129 well, they did make a video on the black hole bomb. Maybe they could go for a more theoretical route and include wormholes?

[@MrAaaaazzzzz00009999]

none of this can ever happen if we still have flat earthers

[@mysteriousfigure2683]

I think the world would have to come together to achieve anything further than a type 2

@Svinjska Butkica i'm well aware of that

[@deathbyseatoast8854]

@UCwbdYLca8cI5u4J8gaONEXA yeah they do make the music. if i recall correctly i believe i heard about a contract they have with the people behind kurzgesagt, and honestly i can't imagine kurzgesagt without the stunning soundtracks produced by epic mountain music. it may sit down in the background but whether people are aware of it or not it has a great impact on the actual video.

I love how you keep the music original and unique to each video, but never forget to throw in a sample or a reference to an older concept/video whenever it pops up. Black hole bombs, stellar engines, Dyson spheres, all of them are in there, at the exact point when they appear in the video. Keep up the good work! Love your videos!

[@tops1954]

you can hear a bit of stellar engine (5:45) & neutron stars too (6:26)

[@happymaster19]

​​@@tops1954 I see plenty of people mistake similar sounds for motiefs. The twinkling section at 6:26 is such a case. Sounds similar to Neutron Stars and I can appreciate that, but it isn't a motief reference. Motiefs typically have tie-ins to subjects in the video and there was no reference in this video to Neuron Stars. The use of motiefs can be subtle, but it's normally not that subtle. There was clear verbal reference in the White Death video for the use of the Coronavirus motief and discussing nomadic tribes a preindustrial lifestyles was a fitting place to use the Human Origins motief in their most recent video (Workout Paradox).

[@Chiryouu]
