Wow, I didn’t know the universe is so big! This must be like thousands of football fields.

The map of the Universe reminds me of the mapping of the human brain with its billions of neurons.

When a leaf is caught in a river it quickly aligns itself to the plane of the water's surface and then begins traveling along with the swirling and rotating water molecules surrounding it. Odd how on such a macro scale, things behave with a natural simplicity.

Our galaxy is somewhere in the elbow of the Elden Beast, good to know.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve gazed into the night skies, and to this day I still get the same feeling I used to as a child - fascination. But as I’ve gotten older, my love and appreciation for the stars has only grown. Even if we truly are so insignificant in the grand scheme of the cosmos, I couldn’t picture a better backdrop to be an observer in.

I'll rank this series right up there with my favorite growing up: Carl Sagan's and PBS' "Cosmos". Waiting patiently for my dad to arrive home after work with the latest VHS rental seemed to take forever. And decades later, we have a free series that rivals it in scale, scope, and beauty. Thank you to every single person involved!

I thought i was looking at elden beast💀

This video is wonderful! An honor to have contributed with my voids and supercluster images!

I am a bit relieved that it takes 5 people to put this together, but honestly I thought there would be about 10-15 people working on these. One of the highest quality content on KZfaq I have seen, maybe the best. Have a lovely holiday y'all.

I legitimately get excited when I get notified about new episodes from HOTU. Truly top-notch quality production. More people need to know about this channel.

I swear. I've always believed that we are just micro organisms inside something's body, just like the ones we have in our body. Looking at this scale it's hard to even say that us humans are even close to the size of an atom of this "body" shown here. Unbelievable

The universe has to be at least 12 tractors.

This was so well put together my guy. The production value of this is 10/10. Simply brilliant.

I've been thinking about these topics for decades. I chatted to my young son about them. He is about to finish his PhD in Physics. He knows more now than I can list. The best I can hope to do to follow his eight years of in depth study is watch videos like this - or talk to him :-)

We are inside the Elden beast

This series is truly a masterpiece. It should be required viewing for every schoolkid on the planet.

I can't count how many times I've heard the story of the universe but this one stuck with me much more deeply than others, very good cohesion of concepts

This video is a masterpiece. From the beautiful visuals to your thoughtful text and narration, it all comes together extremely well. It deserves as many views as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Please keep up the good work. I can't wait to see your next episode.

The best video I've seen on the issue to date. The clarity is impressive, and the visuals are very good.

The format of this series makes it remarkably entertaining and informative. It is also up to date, respective of the viewer's intelligence, and encompasses the full range of topics suggested by its name. I am completely hooked and thankful to those involved in its production. Keep the series coming!

What an unbelievable feat. That’s like standing on the bottom of the ocean and being able to map the entire planet geographically

I’m surprised that this is an ongoing series and not just clips of other shows from the past. Glad to see this continuing content.

Been watching this playlist from start, and hearing about Wondrium, and actually processing everything you've put into this series so far; i see how they have inspired you. I love it, once I finish this playlist, i'll probably go check them out.

It's absolutely insane to try and imagine the sheer scale of the universe. The milky way alone is so massive, yet it's only 1 of millions if not billions of other galaxies. Then the space between these galaxies is hundreds of times larger than that. So many mysteries

Whenever I lose perspective and feel like the walls are closing in on me, our unimaginable universe and its limitless wonder saves the day.

You taught me more in 45 minutes about the universe, than learned my entire life, in January I officially go to school to become an astrophysicist... What help you have been with only mere words, that resonate on every level, knowledge and abundance collectively given in its most simplistic form. 100,000 thank you s ❤️

So Very Excellent Series ! Ranks above and beyond Sagan's Cosmos, a no small feat !!! Thank You So Much.

Awesome and this presentation is utterly astounding… You’ve explained stuff I’ve only barely understood, and I thank you for that.

This series of videos is without a doubt my favorite thing on KZfaq. Thank you for the consistently awe-inspiring content.

Gah that was an insanely epic video. It's 3:45AM and the time I spent watching felt like a trance, I didn't realize I was tired until I finished. Thank you for the awesome experience, Jon Farrow!

Thank you for your amazing work and outstanding quality of video and narration.

The effect of BAO are so profound that it's a shame it isn't discussed more widely in popsci and outreach. If it's mentioned at all, it goes about a millimeter deep. Meanwhile, this video did a very good job of wading into the concept further while remaining accessible to the general public. Cheers

I am currently just speechless. The research, narration and knowledge packed in this video is mesmerizing! The amount of depth this video held, yet pertaining to the simplicity to catch the eye of the general audience is extremely commendable! Thank you for this. It has further heightened my curiosity to understand the Universe!

Thank you for these series of masterpieces!

Fantastic show as always ! Thank you.

Could we all be just surfing through space in a black hole just to end up being spewed out by a white-hole in another universe? I mean could the big bang be the result of massive amount of matter being push through an infinitely small space from another universe?

YES, finally a new episode. I've been watching all the past episodes countless times every single night going to sleep. The content is so amazing and interesting that other science docu don't cover. Yet the voice and narration is so soothing that makes it easy to fall asleep to.

You present this content like my philosophy of science professor used to. It’s amazing. The ability to explain physics to laymen while keeping things interesting with history and interesting stories. Love this channel and the others from its creators :)

Wonderful, thank you. Well done. Perspective is enlightening.

Reality as it presents itself to us is something truly special! What wows me just as much is the humans contemplating existence and having figured out or theorized...all of this.

It's taken me years of reading to learn the stuff you explain in the course of a 45 minute video. I continue to be amazed by how effectively you pack so much information into such a short time while also keeping it in the correct order for proper comprehension.

15 yrs of KZfaq science videos , this is the only time I have ever had the hairs on my body stand on end. This is the best video I have ever watched. I know how it sounds.

Thank you for sharing such a good quality knowledge. With you, I'm still learning with joy at 61 years old. Thank you univers too ! 😊

Would have liked to see a brief explanation of the CMB angular power spectrum and its relationship between BAOs and dark matter over/under densities in the early universe and large scale structure today.

I freaking love your videos, the production value is through the roof. The amount of relevant information is packed in tight with amazing visuals and with an amazing narrator, and you dont shy away from questions we dont have an answer to.

This was beautiful and without a doubt my favorite episode so far. Thank you for all that you do.

THE ELDEN BEAST

There is no movie I would watch as often as your videos .. good job !

You deserve to be on millions of subscribers for the work you put into this channel

This was a fascinating video! Thank you so much for gathering the research, and compiling it into a very comprehensive and understandable piece. The graphics help explain your points and tell the story succinctly. The manner in which you speak, has a bit of wonder to it, keeps my attention, and makes me curious about what you will be explaining next. This was truly an amazing piece of educational fulfillment. Thank you for this!

The all just gets more and more intriguing and wonderfull, i never thought as an eight year old looking at the stars it would go on to be so mind blowing.

so excellent! thank you.This should be shown in every classroom in the nation!

That was really great! I didn't know what to expect (as some of the channels that do space videos are quite a let down) but this was so well done and enjoyable! 👏 👏 In fact, too short! 😄 I just subscribed!

All my life I've been hearing and actively exposing myself to information about CMB and this is the first time I found out that the heat difference is at a scale of 1/100,000. Thank you.

09:38 I love the nostalgic piano music, as if it were video montage of parents recording their baby's early growth.

Hello, Im a little late, but im 14 and im curious with the universe. Ive taught my self calculus, physics, etc. But two subjects that make me question is neuroscience and quantum physics. This video is way better than any video i've seen in months. Its really, really, really beautiful.

This has grown into one of my favorite channels. Thank you for the continually excellent content.

Just wanted to drop a comment. Really. It's the least I can do for a channel that is such a massive source of terrific content. Never stop. Thank you.

Very nice organizational presentation of things that are absolutely indescribable! 🙃

Might have to rewatch this a few times. Never would I have thought I'd get so much information condensed into 45 minutes but otherwise summarised almost the entire history up to now of astrological observations. God met it's match. And the game is still playing out.

I absolutely love these videos and this channel. The best reason for youtube to exist. Ever since I can remember I have always wondered what is the universe, what is outside it, where did it all come from and above all WHY???? This channel feeds that curiosity, poses new questions with every answer.......

Truth: I am a cosmology junkie. I eat this subject up with a spoon so I don't miss a drop. Loving your channel. I typically have to watch each episode at least twice (not a problem) because they are so information dense (that's a good thing) with a welcome specificity. Many chicken out when it comes to putting a number on some things and rely on 'really really big'. Oh, and I haven't caught you (yet) saying 'millions' instead of 'billions' (trust me, that's a thing). Thank you. I hope I made you smile. Peace.

Right now, I'm at work. I work as a guard of a fairly large area, I personaly do only nightshifts mainly because I worked in a hotel for a good portion of my life and I just can't stand people at work. Anyway, being in this huge area, for 12 hours per Shift, sometimes having 5 shifts in a row can get a bit ... well overwhelming. One moment you are sipping your favorite tea, the very next moment you see couple of teenagers climbing the fence and right when you get them out, 3,5km away, across the whole area an alarm starts blasting so you need to check it out. Many people can't take this job, mainly the nightshifts, because how scary ot can get sometimes. Yet I find it unbelievably peaceful. If nothing is happening I love to take walks around the area and I always find myself staring at the stars and watching the night sky. It made me so interested in the cosmos so bad I even bought a telescope, which I bring to work and I just look around and make notes, draw anything I see. Sure, I'll never find anything new or something revolutionary, I don't want to anyway, I'll leave that to the smarter and better equipped lads. But since I was a small small kid, I always viewed the cosmos as the biggest scary thing imaginable. The sheer thought how little we are compared to the space is iust something that left me sleepless more then I'd like to admit. Milkyway galaxy and Andromeda galaxy crashing into each other, Sun eventually destroying Earth ... just these two events, that might be BILLIONS of years away from us, just haunts me. It's THE end, nothing else, all the humanity gone, all the stories of humankind, all good and bad just erased from existence. It makes me feel like I'd wake up the next morning and nobody knows what we did yesterday although we can still move forward and somehow get to know what we did yesterday. When any of those two events mentioned before happen, there is nothing. I can't even describe how anxious it is for me even writing this down. Somehow this topic can make me freeze in thoughts for HOURS. Yet with ANYTHING else I look at everything logicaly and quite frankly I'm a huge ignorant with most things. If I take a night walk here and hear some rustle around the corner? I instantly think of 2 things. a) Wild Animal b) Human I turn on my flashlight and go see what it is. 99% of the time It's just a Deer, Fox, Marten or a cat. People are dumb enough to get spotted on camera way before they even get close to the fence. BUT, in situations like these I don't feel fear, I don't have the need of thinking over it at all, I just hear, shine light, go, shoo away the animal (if Its anything other than a cat, I'd do anything for a cat) yet when I think about the space, our universe, how god damn random all of the creation ON this Earth and OF this Earth is. Just a bunch of particles build up, create elements like water, oxygen, carbon, these things for little tiny organisms that somehow get bigger and bigger, now they grew a limb or two, now they build stuff, now they refine the elements all around them and soon enough we will start having sex with robots and whatever else is planned for us. It's just super crazy we are even here. We are intelligent enough to understand the scope of the cosmos. We have phones to see videos like this and be able to connect with each other via the comments here or just by calling... And all of this will some day be just gone. No reverse, no reload, no "back to the lobby", nothing. It's just overwhelming for me to a point I just can't think of anything that will soothe my mind. Sure neither you or I will get to that point, not our children and even their children. Not even children of their children and children of their children. Yet it STILL makes me feel uneasy. More than anything. I can shoo away a big wild animal. I can see a horrible accident on the road. I can loose someone dear to me. Yet I can't bring myself to compose myself when I think of the god damn space. Truly a bane of my existence that thought is.

That marvellous feeling of elation when you realise you are a meaningless speck in an infinity of Time and Space and that your existence is utterly pointless.

I adore this footage, I have a very cheap projector but the images still come out quite nicely, and some of the commentary is deeply philosophical, fantastic.

Amazing how this has been put together, so well explained. Fabulous presentation.

On my 9 years of KZfaq content consumption I have to say this is my absolute favourite video by a margin, thank you!

i'd like to see more differentiation between measurements/facts and theories! many/most theories in human history had been proven wrong over time! great work! last third is even better!

37:42 It's not a big issue, but protons and neutrons are composite particles, not elementary particles (quarks, electrons, etc - particles that don't have building blocks)

Its really hard to picture such a grand scale in your head, this video helped me put it all in to perspective, thanks.

41:54 - Excellent visual! Thanks.

I like how the universe looks like that and great video man :]

Absolutely fascinating, what better way to round off a day than getting lost in the majesty and splendor of our universe, all beautifully presented and explained with such clarity from the narrator. ten out of ten sir.

If you could travel fast enough to leave the entire stellar universe and looked back at it from a long distance away, the universe would look like a star. A bright point of light in the vast darkness of ancient pre-existing space time that our stellar universe is encompassed within. ✨️

This video made me feel an unexplainable way, truely was composed to perfection. Very enlightening and in some way emotional. The information and research astronomers and physicist have gathered overtime is crazy to think about and I'm thankful for everything they have done. Thanks for the video, best one about the universe yet

Wow. Great video. Concise, thoroughly researched, and accurate information. Incredible writing. Just a superb job. Thank you.

I literally can't think of anything more special than being created by the universe to observe the universe in this inconceivable small yet detailed corners

this is one of the best documentaries i've ever seen and I cant belive it's free on youtube. Honestly thank you, it's just mindblowing. Im still processing!

Truly amazing documentary. Words cannot describe my awe at the beauty of narration and also the quality of reasoning....

Wow an astronomy video written and narrated by an actual human without randomly generated ai video footage? Thank you 🙏🏼

This is a great docu extremely thought provoking

Whoever does this music is a superhero. Fantastic content all around. Always excited to learn something new about our amazing universe. You are the voice in my head right before I fall asleep most nights. From the bottom of my heart and the depths of my mind, thank you.

Man i love your content, thanks for all the hard work you do. 💜

Nice job! We´re getting there. I love this stuff!

this channel is cathartic as well as educational. thank you so much.

anyone ever notice that the large scale universe resembles neural pathways?

Blows my mind and makes me smile. What you describe appears so beautiful to me. Thanks! 🙂

I think my head is going to explode from all the mind blowing discoveries in the universe!

Truly mind-blowing

I love these types of videos, they make me realize I’m not alone with my thoughts that steal my sleep time ❤ Have you explored where the “boundary” between existence and “non-existence” is? For example, even the most abstract and “unimportant” thought by the “most” infinitesimal tiny “being” is well within existence. What is “on the other side” of that, I call it “non-existence” for a lack of a better term.

Wonderfully written and the perfect production. Narrator and background track perfect balance.

Fun fact: Kopernikus' real name was Niklas Koppernigk, which he latinized to Nikolaus Kopernikus as was a custom for scholars of the day.

The fact wondrium promotes history channel really undermines its credibility

Imagine if the void is actually a Dyson capable civilization

Thank you for all the research you put into each minute of each episode. This is truly a gem in a bag of stones. Each episode is truly mind blowing. Its easy to lose hope in humanity surfing through KZfaq.. but then you happen on something like this. A beautifully illustrated and written segment that truly nurtures your mind. Thank you for the work you put into each episode.

22:00 no joke, gave me goosebumps

That was so enjoyable! Thank you.

This channel is amazing. Quite possibly the holy grail of science content. If Attenborough got a knighthood for his work,you guys should all get two each and some huge tracts of land. Thank you to everyone involved.

Near the end I heard you saying "We don't know. Nobody does." Not knowing how it all began and evolved is becoming even more painful as I near my end of time. I am not good enough to figure them out myself. There are so-called standard models (of the Universe and elementary particles) but none is convincing -- like GR. Understanding means never having to mention some singularity or dark stuff. (Love Story?) And I am still looking for a true love of my life.
