The universe today is happy and healthy, with exciting things going on - but at some point the night will turn dark. Everything that once was, will peacefully sleep forever.
But what is the last thing that will ever happen? Let's travel to the end of the universe…

The people that choose immortality as a superpower are the ones that will live up to that answer.

[@FrickenTales]

I love how you guys always spend like ten minutes inducing an existential crisis in all of us and then hit us with "But you don't need to worry about that for a while :)" right at the end 😂

[@Xenlavian]

One of the most harrowing and humbling facts about the far future is that once you get to a certain point, it really doesn't matter what units you're measuring time in. When you get to numbers like 10 to the power of 1500, it's so ridiculously large that you could measure it in anything from microseconds to star lifespans and you'd get roughly the same amount of time. So when they say "a time so absurd it has no name" they're not kidding around, measuring it is irrelevant

[@tbobinson]

For a point of reference, 10^1,000 is insane when you consider that the amount of atoms in the entire universe is estimated to be about 10^80.

[@KillerTacos54]

The storytelling ability of this channel is absolutely breathtaking

[@AdvanAviantoy]

Kurz will never stop being a savage towards Brown Dwarves

[@hazri8758]

I can't be the only person who's glad that I have this sense of universal awareness. To be able to contemplate these stuff every time I look up the night sky is something I will be forever grateful for.

[@Mantiss_Sshrimp]

I just wanna say that your artstyle is amazing, it’s simple, but not too simple, I want like every one of your posters, the colors all pop, and your animations feel so smooth and satisfying, I could never do anything like that.

[@bALloOniSfOod]

Props to the subway passengers dealing with each other for 10^1000 years

[@Adam-xf6sq]

Can’t believe they really locked 3 birds in a spaceship for all eternity and let them loose their minds just to find out what the last thing to ever happen is.

[@xtraftw3759]

Ain't gonna lie, every time I think about the very end, it terrifies me and gives me a huge anxiety attack. My mind is petrified of the thought of it despite knowing we won't be around to witness it. I find it a challenge to overcome the anxiety it gives me and I don't think I can ever overcome the thought of it.

[@variaxi935]

"then it ends just as quickly as it began"

[@lordofthegeckos533]

For anyone having an existential crisis over this, here's something to think about: Some astrophysicists have pointed out that the state of the universe after heat death (all matter and energy being equal, concepts of space and time being meaningless) is actually similar to what, for lack of a better word, "existed" before the Big Bang. In other words, our universe will die, but in the process it might just give birth to the next universe. I think there's a bit of comfort in that possibility.

[@kiwik3313]

Too old to watch the universe be born, too young to watch the universe die, just in the right time to watch kurzgesagt

[@CGiles]

i feel like when one universe dies, its quiet for a while, and then another big bang happens creating a new universe. i also think theres multiple universes alongside each other like galaxies living aside each other. it's mind blowing how infinite space really is.

[@user-dz6zd9zk2f]

"Over 90% of stars that will ever be born have been born already"

[@firmanimad]

So many people tall about existential dread and angst. Personally for me, this channel has been teaching me about existential humility. In many ways, it also helped me deal with anxiety. Because no need to worry too much when you realize that you're just that insignificant.

[@LarvaMovies-9898]

I can't believe Kurzgesagt is putting out videos so quickly now. This is legitimately premium content. Thank you for your contribution to learning for everyone!

[@El3ctroBl4de360]

I honestly love how there’s a whole story in this video with the passengers of the Spacetime Tours ship progressively getting more and more deranged and upset as they spend more and more time inside the spaceship and their mental health slowly deteriorate
