Went into this video curious, went out watching my ceiling like a sunset.

"Hey... maybe we're doing something wrong here." The greatest thought in the pursuit of progress, ever.

The history of life got me thinking about death and afterlife. It is insinuated that this may not actually be our permanent home and that are fated to go elsewhere across the cosmos.

"Cmon fish go on land!" "...eh...eh...eh"

I've watched your piece on the Voyager missions several times. It's probably my favorite video about them; your observations and inferences are so on point. I just wanted to thank you for making it 😊

Aperture is so underrated tbh, lol.

Thank you for the videos you upload, Aperture. You are much appreciated.

Damn, I dint know I needed this. Thank you!

To us, such time lapse is quite too long and so many years have passed, to the universe, we're just a speck of existence

Saved!!! Thank you for All your knowledge and wisdom

This video sounds like I'm lost in space listening to my own thoughts

... 2am...couldn't sleep...watched this... I may never sleep again. Appreciations to you. ❤ Aperture

Thank god you posted, OT was hurting my brain

I love this video, thank you for all you do! I have trouble sleeping at night and this really helps me drift off while listening to all the topics I’m interested in.

This is an awesome video it deserves more attention

We do access 100% of our brain. Just not at the same time, there are people that can access 100% of their brain at the same time, and that condition is called the seizure.

Not enough comments. Shows how little amout of people gets this needed information

it's so cool to witness this channel become so big. the first video I've watched is the 'scale of the universe' but the videos that got me subscribed are the 'shower thought' videos. we've come a long way. CONGRATS 🎉

I’ve been looking for a good ‘shower thoughts’ channel. Thank you for scratching this itch.

Thank you so much for this blow-by-blow take off and landing on the moon to the trip home. It caused tears to flow. Watching this on TV as a 15 y.o. in 1969, I remember being impatient for the whole event to get done - I had stuff to do. By the time Apollo 11 launched, we teens were bored with this. Launches were a yearly event. I remember thinking, "OK, this year we go to the moon, next year, Mars - easy peasy." Only - we didn't. Sure, more rockets to the moon, but for the tragedy of Apollo 13, these lift offs were becoming boring. As I was patiently awaiting the announcement of the first anti-gravity family sedans, i would find myself thinking, "What if one of those landers tips over on landing? What if they find aliens have been there before us? What if they damage something on the lander and can't lift off...?" Teenagers are very good at drumming up drama. But back to my appreciation for your video. Teens can miss a lot because they're not 'in the moment' (a much later diag. of ADHD helped me understand that), so back then, I was there, I saw it, but in no way fully appreciated the enormity of the moment. Not like now, that's for sure. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. And thank you also for this amazing channel. Your voice is quite soothing to listen to, and your topics broad, researched and insanely easy to listen to.... for hours... which I've been doing. Please keep up the excellent work; subscribed! 😁

I was looking for something to watch and had scrolled past Aperture several times before choosing to give it a chance, and I’m so glad I did. Curiosity and imagination are two of my favorite human traits followed closely by learning and adventure, all of which plays a part in these videos. This is the third video of Aperture I have watched in as many days. These videos are thought provoking but completely enjoyable to watch. Finding a gem among so mach chafe made me feel like I struck gold, I hope you will continue to create Aperture videos and I will continue to watch. In my opinion Aperture is Brilliant!! It’s a harmonious blend of science history human accomplishment human nature and reflection on these different facets of life on earth. Thank you so much

Brutally awesome your videos. Keep going:) Im really glad having found this channel. It's like a mirror to me

It truly goes to show how lucky humans are

You could make a religion out of this...

The sun is a deadly laser.

Fell asleep to something and woke up a few hours later and this had come on auto play... You have a wonderfully comfortable voice to listen to but this was so interesting and riveting I had no chance of falling back asleep until it was over. Thank you

I don’t think that’s 10 minutes

This was 🔥

15:55 “The objective? To capture the human condition.” Immediately plays an ad after saying that about an alcoholic beverage but the ad is in spanish and Im an english speaking american.

My new favorite video I love marveling at how amazing everything is and how lucky we are to be alive with technology, food and knowledge in this universe

This Helped me drift off to sleep very nicely so calming 👌🏾 👍🏿

2:58 ... When the fire nation attacked

Towards the end you say luckily fate was on our side. No, it wasn’t luck. It was millions of hours by hundreds of engineers working together for mankind. We can do great things together and I propose we continue to work together to make humanity better.

“The only species to adapt to a wide range of eco systems” The pigeon: 🧿👄🧿

The Earth is an incredibly small dot within the vast universe, which makes it exceedingly difficult to find another tiny dot that harbors a civilization. Moreover, looking further into space means looking back in time, so how can we know of civilizations that exist in the present?

Sometimes, I like to think if Neanderthals were still around, they'd be making fun of us for our big heads and destroying us in lifting competitions

I have made comments to your channel before over the years and...again I feel motivated to say it again. Thank You Aperture. This channel I feel should be translated in every major language and mandatory viewing in every high school in every country. All these gems...you have gifted humanity for your insight and observations. I am greatly appreciative. It makes me feel that I am not alone and also that it has made me more enlighted about me and us. So I hope you never stop....I hope one day more and more view your channel and feel this sense of gratitude as I do. So...Thank You. Excelsior.

Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Thank you for being best modern philosophical fact teller... 1 of the Best ways to learn on KZfaq..!

41:08 yea bluejays scream… hawks do too

The barter hypothesis has been disproven

If only my thermostats worked properly...they're older than me!

Aliens: wood is the rarest substance on the planet, we need to reproduce as many of these as possible. Humans: I think we need another desk in this office.

Microscopic microbes? 53:57 we still love you though

Surely a better narrator can b

We are not genetically identical to our prehistoric ancestors. There is evidence of recent genetic selection for intelligence in some populations (studies compared ancient DNA to modern DNA to look for known markers of intelligence).

Just think some aliens watching a video on the weird videos and stuff found in space lol

"life finds a way" yep, only on earth

...Exodus 26:13 ≈ π... Moses was first to record Pi in 1440 BC. Josephus the Historian's description of the Tabernacle in 94 AD was inaccurate. This oversight was discovered in 2015 AD. 330 Exodus 26:8 eleven curtains each 30 cubits long 15 Exodus 26:12 one of the curtains is folded in half to 15 cubits long - 1 Exodus 26:13 makes Pi each curtain overlap/seam adds up to 1 cubit = 314 3.14 = 314 circumference/100 diameter ≈ π ratio (100 cubit court per Exodus 27:9-18) ................. This Wilderness Tabernacle archeological discovery is similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Martin Luther's 95 Theses. ................. History of finding π: -(1900-1680 BC) One Babylonian tablet indicates a value of 3.125 for π -(1650 BC) The Rhind Papyrus the Egyptians gave the approximate value of π 3.1605 -(1440 BC) Moses recorded Pi in the Exodus blueprints rediscovered in (2015 AD) 3.141592653... or Exodus 26:13 ≈ Pi -(500 BC) India's Aryabhata approximation was 62,832/20,000, or 3.141 -(429-501 BC) Zu Chongzhi a Chinese mathematician 3.1415926 - 3.1415927 -(250 BC) Archimedes from Syracuse showed between 3.1408 and 3.1429 ................. The knowledge of Pi was lost from Exodus near 1000 BC. Josephus the Historian in 94 AD did NOT know about Exodus 26:13 makes Pi to properly explain the Tabernacle blueprints. He deferred to the Temple's structure and not Exodus 25-26-27. Pi is found in the spiral of the double helix in your DNA. This knowledge has been lost for 3000 years. Consider King Josiah & the Prophetess Huldah rediscovering the scriptures, right? In short, this monumental oversight was corrected in 2015. What's next? ...Exodus 26:13 ≈ π...

telling me kids this was Socrates.🤲

You can make a religion out of this!

17:12 Copyright issues to music going into outer space. Wow guess at least they are doing it right but i don't know how you sue aliens

HOW BRAVE CAN A PERSON BE???imagine looking at earth from the freaking moon knowing its no guarentee your going to get back wow!!!

Was mathematics invented or rather discovered? I dont know just a thougth

“If your Usain bolt you got nothing to worry about “ Except 99.999999999875% of us are not Usain Bolt

I'm stardust...and part fart particles!

T E N minutes..?🤔

seems to be based on sapiens by noah harari

ITS NOT DEAD OUT THERE ITS JUST TO DARN BIG.just because we cant see it with our telescopes doesnt mean its not there for sure try to really think about just going out in space and say you could go a million x the speed of light so what are youlooking for the end how can there be an end thats crazy to go and go HOW??ITS FRIGHTNING MAN

Consider Uni-verse in Quanta. 010

We never used to barter. it's a myth . Barter was only used in small communities. Humans never barter in bigger communities. There was always some form of money ; rocks, paper, salt, wood, chocolates, Coul and ...

We live in the glass age.

Technically the intetnet was always there, we just found it, not created it.

Rousseau was Genevan. Not Genevievan.

search engines are super geniuses, but not smart enough to bring up exactly what you asked for only things related to what your looking for 😂

Turn the music down

I wish you’d annunciate a bit

bruh. none of the images on the voyager records are arbitrary at all lol. they arent "up to interpretation". there is a pulsar map and a physical description of a hydrogen atom. they arent just random squiggles.

Yeah, a good guess, I would say a good guess from 12,000 years, prior to 12,000 years, a total mystery

🤔🙄Soon 🙋all be a cyberpunks 😅

We are an insignificant bit of dust destined for annihilation.

Aperture, your videos are often more entertaining that truth, Bible I have since 1980 reads spirit of unseen God created earth, and everything on it. this included humans. words came from the unseen God spirit which we automatic learn how to talk at a certain age. Were you hear 500,000,000 years ago? Maybe your spirit was however you yourself was not until your mother had you and only you know what year that was. But thanks for sharing your guessing about life. I been on earth for 66 years so far. I sure do not know everything only what I read. Have a great day thanks for your very entertaining videos, great editing also.

That's a big risk they took for all of mankind.... did not have my vote.... I'm a fisherman.... they tossed a lure

Am I going crazy or the “s” sound is a little too much?

That's just silly farming is way more Labor intensive than hunting eg Aboriginals Australians would procure food for about 6 hours then the rest of the day was theres.

So we show the world eaters everything about us right down to the DNA, then we show them exactly where to find us, we should have stayed home!

You guess?

George Washington had teeth from enslaved persons as well

Started listening to rhis to help me aleep. Welp, that didnt work! lol

Oh, that’s cute that you think the Apollo missions actually went to the moon

why you talk so fast? its a chill docu which people watching laying in bed, not hyper studying class

Time really is relative because this video is an hour and a half long

Horrible sound.

Excellent vid. However as a non American.. I can’t help but laugh at some of the Americanisms used. “Eyeglasses” for instance… yes glasses for your eyes. Fair enough, but the rest of world just used the word “Glasses” .. ie.. if your having a conversation about kitchenware.. and “glasses” comes up.. then you say.. I cant see them I need my “glasses”… we all know they are two different items. Having to put “eye” before the word to simplify it as much as possible is funny af to the rest of the world. That’s just one example of how we, the British, created the English language, and Americans somewhere down the line, had to change it to make it easier to grasp. I find some Americanisms funny af. Just an observation. Lol

I quit about 30-40 mins in when it became clear that this was largely not about the history of life but rather a rambling piece which was all over the place, for ex. going into great detail about the Voyager missions and talking about George Washington's false teeth (??). Further, the flashing words across the screen at times was seriously annoying (that's what closed captions are for) and frankly you need to find a new narrator who doesn't talk quite as fast and pronounces words better...I felt like I was listening to a high school kid. Just amateurish and disappointing in general

Stupid music... Why?

The alphabet part is wrong. Chinese is the second most spoken language in the world but doesn't have an alphabet.

Communism. Always. Fails.

Call your Mom🥰..or Dad🥰

Was satisfied up until he went into embryology and talked about gills. While yes they look similar through a microscope our human “gills” have profoundly different functions compared to fish. I despise the use of “human gills” in reference to biology being similar to fish because that’s simply not the case. It was around the 36:30 mark. I will add that I don’t think there was a common ancestor between Homo sapiens and fish and that there was some divine intervention, whether it was Zeus or Allah is up for debate; but above all, I think we were put here intentionally for a purpose.

You speak too quickly

Lol bro acts like people in the 70's were cavemen and couldn't communicate around the world X'D kids man

Also bro keeps adding in his own opinion when talking about facts and it's really annoying. You can eat food in the grocery store guy, literally no one or anything says it's wrong, at least until you leave. God I hate people who don't understand that.

Vote trump

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Bro's faith in in democracy 💀 learn abt jesus

JESUS IS KING

The end of Ai I.S. the beginning of Ni. Natural and Neutral @ 10nce 010 = Yahweh

Well as for me I was created by God,but this is a good video though

this guy keeps grossly misusing the word literally??!!
