The amount of comments of how small, insignificant, puny and worthless us humans, and especially a single human, is too damn high! The fact that this species that were are all a part of has the capability to analyze, classify, comprehend and ultimately appreciate this existence is beautiful. It's something we should sit back and think how lucky we are to even be watching a video like this and communicating at light speed with one another about our thoughts about it. We're all magnificent beings.

+Joni Leppäskä Nice, I've always thought of that too, since I was a kid, kinda of calmed me, it gave me a sense of powerlessness, or maybe giving me power, like removing all the guilty you could feel. Really nice to see someone with the same idea, best regards!

[@finalmattasy]

+SystemFreaKk13 i respect that your are confident in your own point of view. Thereby you call what you were doing, "help." I like that you said, "cannot correctly conceive of objective." I think you are somewhat correct in this regard. I think the notion of a truly objective point of view is a fallacy. The definition of objective denotes that of a person (who inescapably has feelings and opinions) holding a view of the things they have feelings and opinions about, as though they were devoid of the feelings and opinions that constitute the only reason they are motivated and thereby expressing said opinion in the first place. The word objective is pretty much as confusing to me as my english attempt to explain it here. Edit: people can try to be objective, and can behave in ways that are labelled objective by others. But this labelling is alway mixed up, to a varying amount, in the ratio to which they seem to agree with the one who is doing the labelling.

[@PeggyKTC]

Perspective: We are but wee specks on the surface of an insignificant planet in a quiet arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The universe is vast. If there is other intelligent life out there it may be so distant in time and space that we never meet. While I'd love a Star Trek universe (minus the Borg) where faster-than-light travel gives us a galaxy where we can meet and interact with many non-human civilizations, I think that's unlikely to happen. What that means to me is that we should cherish the planet we have, because we don't have anywhere else to go. And politicians should be listening to the scientists who are saying we need to do something now about climate change and the environment, even if that means making unpopular decisions.

[@PeggyKTC]

***** it could be... But how could we know?

[@0xC47P1C3]

Titan is our answer!

[@DrVonRhein]

I'm pretty sure we are not asking the right question, whenever we ask whether there is life on other planets, let alone so-called intelligent living things (it may be a good question, although not an original one, I think it merely reflects our lack of knowledge and narrow-mindedness, and the fact that we are unable to imagine other highly complex entities outside the realm of living organisms (that includes all human-made things, too, of course) with which we are more or less familiar with). Sure, it is highly likely that there are similar life forms on other planets that are similar to Earth, but there may be some other extraterrestrial things on other planets which we wouldn't even call LIFE because these things would be very alien to us and radically different from everything else that we currently know about - strange manifestations of matter that we can't even imagine yet with our present knowledge and understanding of matter and the universe. Just think about it, simply put, living organisms on this planet are really just highly complex manifestations of matter. Who knows what else there is outside this Earth...?

[@felipeyoutube04]

There are millions of intelligent civilizations out there and they probably live in no more than 0,0000000000000001% (or even less) of the habitable planets out there, which is basically nothing compared to the size of the Universe.

[@ramsouskine]

[@tetrapod9621]

As humans we have accomplished so much! Just imagine what Galileo, Kepler or Newton would have thought if we could show them this! Watching this masterpiece is such a humbling and profoundly emotional experience. You could even say it is 'spiritual'. To know that we are not just living 'in' the Universe, but that we ARE A PART of the it, and that the Cosmos is of an unimaginably colossal scale is one of the true blessings of living in this modern era! Our world and star were condensed from stardust, and life arose on the planetary surface and developed consciousness, awareness, compassion. As Carl Sagan once said: "We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself." I'll end this with a line from one of my favourite songs - Every Age by Jose Gonzalez: "We don't choose where we're born, we don't choose in what pocket or form, but can, learn to know, ourselves on this globe in the void..."

[@koyunbaba73]

When I was a kid, they showed a film clip that was similar to this one at the Ontario Science Centre. It started with a picture of a man laying on the beach, and then it went outward to the farthest regions in space. Then, like this film, it went inwards again right back to the very beginning of the man on the beach. But it didn't stop there. The camera zoomed in on the guy's hand and went inwards, all the way until it showed a picture of an atom. That was really cool. You know, we know more about what is out there in space than we know about what is in the bottom of the oceans. We also know less about the smallest aspects of nature than we do about space. But I love this video because it really sparks the imagination.

Brett Verney Well not being able to see it definitely doesn't mean there MIGHT not have been anything at all before the big bang. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.Take for example oxygen we couldn't see it but it became testable when we found ways we could test it and then there came many other discovers to back it up. The elements/the background radiation that came after the big bang I would say masks what we cannot see. Not too sure about this logic i'm just starting to learn about science. But there should be signs we could catch onto plus not believing in a multiverse would crash A LOT of scientific information/theories because I know a lot of theories like inflation and the string theory which already suggest that a multiverse is possible. We just have to be optimistic that we'll be able to discover the vital signs we could detect. We just need to find a way to test this so the multiverse becomes a theory.

+Shamial Rashid Hello fellow human being, how are you?

[@shamial]

Good u?

[@JerusalemStrayCat]

Ladies and gentlemen, we hereby present the amazing camera that moves faster than light :D

[@pigozz]

Ive been enthusiastic about universe, its physics etc since child and this video brings tears to my eyes - not how well done it is made but it sadly makes you realize we will never see the unbeliavable worlds of other galaxies, their lifeforms there, the civilizations which exists and have existed, we will never know how beautiful the universe trully is..and that makes me really really sad :(

[@stevegovea1]

No place like home. Great video!

[@bane2520]

we are so insignificant yet so proud of ourselves.

[@rsc8841]

To be fair, as a species we have not done to bad, but yes we are pretty insignificant, especially if there is a more evolved species out there that will undoubtedly have a better understanding for the universe than we do.

[@wwp2181]

Are there any plans for a modern update to this video? 4K 60fps? I find that children tend to get turned off to things when they feel it looks old when compared to modern illustrations. Also, not sure if it's possible with this software, but maybe a cross-sectional cut of the Earth to show how truly thin atmosphere is along with the oceans at their deepest points and how little water there is compared to the rest of the earth.

[@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory]

We recently did a live version in 1080p. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJq8f6mfqc5ona8 (And good suggestions!)

[@FloridaStormChaser]

Back again because I've watched this since it had a few hundred views and it's still the only video that gives me chills knowing we still are that insignificant in the universe.

[@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory]

Amazing! Thank you for watching! If you haven't seen it, you should check out the 360 version that was released last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGichaKtf7R7fqc

[@vyoma9551]

this give me goosebumps😨

[@illuminate4622]

It's even better with music. Listen to Melodysheep's "The Rising Dawn Bellows Like Thunder" at the same time. Have them open on different tabs, mute this video's audio, begin Melodysheep's song, and skip this video to 0:44.

[@sunitasingh862]

its simply amazing..while watching it I felt like I am on a few minutes trip out there in the universe..I wish I could..lol..but superb work done by the team members..thanx

[@tommyheidendrak3919]

Finished watching. Stared blankly at screen for 10 minutes.

[@SA-ov6mb]

This is the Best video ever created.. I really got tears seeing back our planet earth our sweet home..

[@claudelu92]

I Hope one day i could see that edge of this universe world.......

[@Artifactorfiction]

Thanks for this - its a privilege to be alive at a time when its possible to see the vast scale of the known universe - somewhat puts humanities various petty disagreements into perspective.

[@shadyxx92]

love this kind of stuff !!!

[@user-mj2lm5fh1j]

I wish every human being could understand the depth of this video and stop the wars.

[@enthdegree]

My philosophical objection to this type of video is summed up pretty well in Horton Hears a Who.

[@enthdegree]

my objection to the statement "you're physically small so your problems are insignificant." I thought that was obvious from my first comment...

[@TonyLau]

Amazing. Would have preferred widescreen and 4K, though...

[@mike_bobagens]

+Tony Lau its a 2009 video...

[@jacobdodson728]

It’s never enough for you, is it?

[@Pocos123]

OMG! I look our planet from this distance and i can't believe that on this small planet compare to the huginess(new word :P) of the universe we people are trying to kill eachother instead of take care of eachother and try to explore and learn more about who we are and from where we came from. We people are made of stars(as Moby said) and we are connected to the universe in a magic and strange way. We are not what cellphone we have or how much money we have in bank or what car we drive and all those things that make us lose our magic nature. Really nice video..Magic and sad at the same time. I just hope one day we gonna leave in the past all those sad things we do to ourselves and to our planet.

[@edwinwilke9249]

Well said

[@MaxRejects]

This is so truly mind opening, and I hope to see how much more we learn about space :) It is so huge and we only have such a small portion of it mapped out.

[@thrustersonfull8044]

This video makes me feel little and big at the same time.

[@ACosmicCastaway]

...and some say that we're the only ones, that the whole universe won't bare any other kind of living beings, that we are unique and no one else exists beyond our visible light spectrum. It may be right we're unique, but I doubt A LOT the being(s) behind all this would pinpoint just one place to experience the joy of material life as we know it. We're less than atoms in a particle of some cell of the whole system. One tiny part of the whole that's forever expanding. Yet we know nothing about it.

[@mohammedhassanakbari6722]

"There and back again on the scale of the Cosmos" This should have been the title of the Video if you ask me

[@-_Nuke_-]

Exactly!

[@mohammedhassanakbari6722]

I mean they could even come up with Space Age versions or adaptations of JRR Tolkien's Greatest Works just like how they made Treasure Planet from Treasure Island.

[@CalvezTheKiller]

In my opinion this is evidence of a higher-being. How I see it, there is no way it could have been all just a coincidence. The sheer immensity and beauty of the universe is astounding. As someone who has re-evaluated their faith and put it to the test, I can proudly still say, God is great. And to all the people who don't agree, that's okay! You can believe whatever you want! I can respect your beliefs just as much as you can respect mine and we can still love each other and our fellow man for what we are- people! That's one of the beauties of life! We CAN still live and love each other every day, regardless of what we believe in! Ignore the people who bicker and dislike each other over things like this and who cannot accept others because of their beliefs or who they are. It's time we stop fighting over this age-old argument and if we want to we could discuss it calmly and postively, not in hostility. But more importantly, we must come together as humans, and unite to work together for the betterment of our universe. To all the Atheists and Non-believers out there, I love and respect you as I hope you can feel the same to me. We all can unite through #Love.

[@pphetsilasack856]

I remember watching this video 3 years ago, falling in love with it then falling in love with the universe, I'm so excited I found it again !

[@muhammedinime4156]

[@bboyloco3]

TURN THE SOUND OFF AND PLAY ACROSS THE UNIVERSE BY THE BEATLES...EPIC

[@switzerlandful]

Wow... our problems are so small in the grand scale of things...

[@TurdFerguson456]

Civilization, cities, roads, computers, networks, internet, light, time, information, ants, humans, trees, fungi, brains, neurons, cells, the universe, the multiverse?..... The similarity is fascinating. It's like the universe/multiverse is the brain of some massive entity. BUT!...the laws of physics are the same everywhere(as far as we know), so it makes sense that different systems tend to function similarly when you zoom out...and/or in!

[@MrBacketball]

It doesn't make any sense to me how an explosion can make all of that (and possibly more). It also doesn't make sense how there can be an explosion from nothing...

[@violetdownie1542]

You know what doesnt make any sense? why my hot pocket is hotter than ill ever be

[@illuminate4622]

No scientist says it was "made by an explosion". It's not like a dynamite stick exploding and creating a house or anything. It's many complicated, interacting processes. Those galaxies, and stars they're made of, and planets too coalesced by gravity. Stars got hotter as they collapsed inward and nuclear fusion ignited. Solar wind and gravitational effects drove gas further out in the solar system, and rock closer to the Sun. That's why we have four inner rocky planets, one of which we're on, and four outer gas planets. The Earth got heat from the impacts of ever bigger rocks that made it up, which drives geological processes such as earthquakes to this day. Beneficial mutations in lifeforms are selected by environmental pressures. etc etc. They're all processes interacting and creating complexity, from atoms to planets to elephants and pine trees to human societies and technology, *even though they arise from simple laws. That's called emergence.* Scientists know all of this very well and that's why so many of them are atheist. Watch the video where Richard Dawkins explains the evolution of the eye. Also watch Melodysheep's video "Our Story in 1 Minute". There's no room and no need for any sort of god. We're beautiful regardless of how everything came about. I think all the things that happened and made our existence possible make it even more beautiful. Most of the elements in your body were forged in supernova explosions. *You're made of stardust.*

Neil deGrasse Tyson’s StarTalk brought me here!!

[@altclut]

It's good to be home!

[@carlhartt8346]

Thought, contemplation, observation, curiosity, consideration and consciousness are what actually gives the universe a chance to be perceived, acknowledged and to some degree, understood. We are the universe experiencing itself. You are.... it.

[@SamarinGennady]

Wonderful!!!

Muito bom! Mostra claramente como somos insignificantes, e como o universo é infinito, e como Jeová é grandioso.

Respect for the cameraman who went that far beyond in the universe and also came back to make this video possible

[@solum_mirari5925]

This really puts into perspective how puny we humans are.

[@AnticBros]

Yet the Arrogance present in mankind reaches deep further in the Universe #Truth

[@Nuke_Skywalker]

we may be puny, but we mapped this in the first place, didn't we?

[@ryantrotter7290]

This really puts into perspective how deep our minds are.

[@-_Nuke_-]

Melissa Geckensmerf it does but only "kind of"! For example at 2:04 the animation shows the planets. But the planet are (in this scale) MUCH smaller than an individual pixel! Therefore this animation is kinda ... not in scale! If you want you can Google "If the Moon where only 1 pixel" Prepare your mind to be blown away 2 times! :D

[@franciscusdrake4285]

Our minds are as deep as the universe itself.

Andrew Raphael Lukasik Indeed. We Muslims always pray for those people. Yet, if a person is Muslim and dies he goes to jannah. This world is just a test not a place to have fun times all ways. We will die anyways but the imporant thing is dying Muslim, Sunni Muslim. By the way, Muslim kids are the children of Jannah. Have a good day.

[@ozzieksk]

Andrew Raphael Lukasik Do you know my religion better than me? Have you ever read the Quran? Have you ever research about Islam? A big fat NO!

[@ozzieksk]

ozzieksk It is so vivid that you never read the Quran in your life. Here are the some verses. [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?" 74:42 [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar(Hell Fire)?" 74:43 Sahih International They will say, "We were not of those who prayed, 74:44 to top 74:44 Sahih International Nor did we used to feed the poor.

I've been searching for this video for about 6 years!!!

[@genkidama7385]

The earth looks like nothing, an invisible dust, and yet, its a huge world to our eyes, What if atoms were containing some tiny worlds inside, would it make us some kind of gods to them ? lol. This 6 min clip is more scary than an horor movie, when it zooms out, we just disapear like we never existed and nobody will ever notice this small particle in the universe :(

There's only one word that keeps repeating in my head. Insignificant. How sad is it knowing most of us will never be able to leave this rock, however beautiful it may be one can only wonder what other beauty we are missing out on.

It's not that sad to be honest.

and at the same time we are everything!

[@shikhanshu]

Jose Lopez no we are not... we are just another coincidence like billions of other coincidences that might be out there

[@romansekerka4411]

Shikhanshu Agarwal No, we are the universe's conscience. Nature bred us using evolution from micro-organisms up to to the point where we have neural network in our brain capable of grasping any concept and egos that hate not knowing. We are the perfect little machines made in the god's view (universe's view) on the path to universe's self-understanding and singularity. The coincidence is there, but the emergent behavior of life and humanity is to amass as much knowledge about universe as possible.
