    Anybody else tuning in to fall asleep? 😅 (comment below)

    "human intuition is no yardstick for the way the universe really works" I really wish more people could accept this
  • YES!!! When I see a new upload from this channel, I get so happy. I used to be happy and excited about life when I was studying physics in college. Taught high school physics after that and had so much fun with my classes. Unfortunately, the reality of low teacher pay, new family on the way, and my other option to make more than double if I work with computers, I went back to my tech job. Now I am almost always depressed, feel like there is no hope and nothing to look forward to in life any more. That being said, whenever I see these videos it takes me back to my happy place. Thanks for all the effort you guys put in to put these out. They mean the world to some of us.

    This man’s videos kept me going for a while, wasn’t getting out much, wasn’t doing well but these videos ground me….now I’m over a year sober and enjoy these videos more than ever! Thank god for the educational YouTube

    Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now. Dark Helmet: What happened to then? Colonel Sandurz: We passed then. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now. Dark Helmet: Go back to then. Colonel Sandurz: When? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: Now? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: I can't. Dark Helmet: Why? Colonel Sandurz: We missed it. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. Dark Helmet: When will then be now? Colonel Sandurz: Soon. Dark Helmet: How soon?

    What does space taste like? Immediately I get the picture of my dog, head out the window, tongue out, just enjoying being alive while I drive.

    He speaks at such a reasonable tempo but I have to keep rewinding because there's so much to unpack. Phenomenal.
  • @katattack907
    The music, like the message, is at once chill, grand, and somehow slightly ominous. I love this stuff and it makes me feel so many different things.
  • @jimc.goodfellas
    These videos are probably my most highly anticipated of any on YouTube
  • My past self has been waiting for this video. My future self has rewatched it multiple times. "Now" I finally get my hands on it!!

    I'm left with a question. When you die, your brain neuro pathways fire slower as you become brain dead. So, will our perception of time when we die slow down to an infinite perception on the last neuro event? I think I now believe in an infinite after-life, stuck in time, re-living my brain's last chemical burst of nirvana... forever.

    As a Welsh person, I'll tell you that now is in a minute. As we all say, "I'll be there now in a minute" 👍
  • @crankbait1760
    I am so excited to watch this every night for a month straight
  • @domonator5000
    “What does space taste like?” Me at 2:00am: “ what tf am I watching?”
  • @Suspicious22
    Still one of the best channels on you tube . Cosmology , physics , geology , mythology , history , and great storytelling all rolled up in one .
  • @rezadaneshi
    Almost all at once when you think about it, but one frame at a time when documenting it.
  • @bigdoggo5827
    I had the itch to watch a new history of the universe banger and saw a new video uploaded a minute ago, awesome, thanks for the bangers

    The section towards the end would be even better to include how the "Brain makes decisions before you even know it" - published in Nature on April 11, 2008. Brain activity predicts decisions up to 10 seconds before they are consciously made! This directly impacts our sense of having free will - actions that we take are set in our brain - and can be predicted by instruments - before we are aware we “decide” to take that action.
