That was the best mix of existential dread and simultaneous encouragement I've seen in a long time, thanks

You just made a philosophy of consciousness that explains why its such a miracle to exist in the first place, thank you.

I always leave your channel with new ideas about the world (and myself). Thanks for being an inspiration! Much love from Brazil.

My brother often questioned "doesn't schrodinger's cat assume that I am the center of observation?" and this video answers that question with a good point. Thank you for the frog reveal at the end

Man! The work you do is amazing, I can't imagine the time you spend animating these footage! Great work.

How the HECK did you find enough time to reson like this, script this, make each scene, AND animate each scene, with props and everything? This video is AWE INSPIRING

Me at the start of the video: "I was promised a really cute frog! Unforgivable" Me at the end: "Cute frog"

I’ve been thinking about the philosophy of consciousness and how it relates to science and this video sums up my thoughts quite nicely.

This is the only channel I have notifications on for, and it never fails to deliver. Amazing video as always. Keep it up!

I hope you continue to make amazing content like this for years to come

And when we needed his sacred knowledge the most, he returned.

Goodness, when we last chatted you had less than a thousand subs. Well done you. Fantastic content.

I've watched every video you've made, and they are simply the most worthwhile content on KZfaq. Depression doesn't exist when you can appreciate the full scope of the universe and learn about it in such an entertaining way. Please do not stop doing what you do, because myself and many others appreciate what you do greatly.

0:18 the frog in the box does exist. it exists in your head.

just binged all your old vids, awesome to see more. production quality is amazing

That was beautiful, thank you. I didn’t expect discussing a philosophy based on physical laws to become a lesson about compassion and empathy. Really great work!

Finally. Someone put into a video words that have been floating in my head for years. I couldn't have put it better myself.

It really irritates me how little traction these videos get, the quality and amount of work put in is astounding

You have tackled a very difficult topic. And you have done so very well. Well done! This was a great video

I have a totally new viewpoint on the universe now. At first I thought it was a bit lonely that nobody can ever experience anyone else's universe, but I'm encouraged by the part about the influence we can have on one another, the connection between everyone as bits of the universe trying to figure itself out. That the things we do to try and make someone else's day a bit better really do matter. Thank you so much for this video. (And I'm glad cute frog with mushroom hat exists in my universe!)

The 3D animation is beautiful.

Certainly be kind to yourself as said in the description and people kind-you've made a very cerebral connection to what our experiences are! Thank you for your time to put this together for others to grab ahold of this special patch of wisdom. ✨ From a submicroscopic world-a non-visual process has become an undisputable fact through our agency that is to stay alive-to care and to love-built from 4 classes of biomolecules in bound to a true and humbling ground as expressed everyday through polymerization. The bond up is how our world works, and it's going to take the emergence of shared minds to tinker that black-box for an experience to make better in our stretch of health. Thank you again and so kindly for this video-keep up there; enjoying to see your and everyone's growth here!! 💛

Some of what this video talks about is stuff I thought about quite a bit. Nice to see some of my thoughts, plus other interesting points be put together into one great video of existential dread!

I'm so happy I found this channel!! You really have an eloquent way with words and animations.. I cannot explain it but you seem to make complex ideas very easy to absorb by your choice of words and how you make animations out of it.. I love watching your videos! Great work and new fan! :)

One of your most interesting and thought-provoking videos! You said that when a person dies the whole universe in their head stops existing along, and I thought about it for a moment. You see, I tend to believe that "reality" and "sentience" are inseparable, in a sense that these two things - the world and the observer ALWAYS come in a pair. You can put it this way: a world without sentient beings is perceived by no one (so it's purely imaginary), and an observer without a world is built from nothing and perceives nothing (i.e. doesn't exist) The problem with imaginary worlds is that they can take virtually any form and take any time to unfold, even impossible forms and infinite times - these does not matter, an infinite amount of imaginary worlds are created and destroyed in your single finger snap, or maybe not, maybe there are no such worlds, it's irrelevant, because nobody has been involved. The problem with your nonexistence is that it cannot be perceived. Nonexistence is not "blackness" or "emptiness", it's not even a thing. When a computer is down, to your video game character this state doesn't exist, its 'life' continues the moment you boot up your game again as if nothing happened in between the sessions. The same applies to you. You don't know that you're dead, because there's nothing capable of knowing. You are only 'you' when you're alive and conscious. Consequently, worlds and observers either come in pairs or don't exist at all. The latter one is obviously false since I'm writing this right now, whilst the exclusiveness of this exact world is not strictly imposed (e.g. our universe could repeat itself infinitely many times without any implications for your existence) Soo... combining these claims I can only come up with a single conclusion: EXISTENCE IS INEVITABLE (yes, in any possible way you can interpret) And this actually means (to me) that you're not that important in the end, nothing is important. At least in context of your video. Your consideration towards others must come in spite, not due to this. In the face of endless nihilistic existence, preservation of your humanity is your utmost virtue.

Look at the word "impossible." It's build from the same elements as "I'm possible" - only if we can give it some space to breathe.

Welcome to Hinduism, This has been one of the core ideas in Hinduism for thousands of years without knowing about any of that quantum stuff. And due to this, you will hear many Hindu people say to go into yourself and study yourself.

Any "observation" is just an interaction of particles. Your corpse would continue to interact with the other particles and thus collapse their wave function.

That. Was. Amazing. Work. Completely agree. Congratulations and thank you, most important person in your universe. You have succesfully impacted another reality!

Back then in 2020 when I first encountered this channel, it had some 15k subscribers. Holy cow, this channel has come too far now! *Congrats for 200k subs!*

amazing. i love hearing stuff i explain to people explained by someone else

Show us the frog!!

Beautiful message. Thank you for spreading your form of beauty, fellow human

We've seen the frog but still dont know whether it was inside the box ,such is fate

Thank you for your time put in these awesome videos

Your creation of these videos are utter beauty

Thank you! Awesome video and i love what it discusses and the conclusions!!

Damn - I thought after waking up and realizing I am the universe along with everything else that I was the only one who thought like this. Thank you for nailing it so perfectly. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Love that buildify addon! I really hope to learn how it works someday to start creating kits for it.

The best channel on KZfaq HANDS DOWN Thank you for providing these incredible explanations!

I enjoyed your video (as usual :) ) and I agree with the perspective. "This" is the only perceived reality that You/I will ever have. This perspective has helped me in the past, and I thank you both for sharing it, and also for reminding me :) All the best (The part about QM seems to be based on only one of the interpretations though, observers aren't relevant in Many Worlds, if I am not mistaken...)

That was a rather beautiful conclusion

Sounds like the fundamental rule of the universe is: 'Don't be a dick.'

I love your work! Please make more!

At one point in time, nothing existed (inside the box and outside the box, a box with no physical properties and dimensional size(s) if you must) Then, through quantum tunneling dimensions and time from now (aka, the future back then) interacted with nothing and 'the box' blew up in(to) everything, scattering nothing and everything everywhere - its content, nothing and everything, appearing as the universe with what also matter(s) separated by time, dimensions, fields, etc. Matt from PBS Space Time would call this big bang the beginning of space-time. I would end it by saying it's also the end of the universe, but I can't prove it.....

Yay! But why posted!

His animations are getting better with each subsequent video

This was beautiful.. A beautiful message everyone needs to be reminded of..🤩 🌏☮️♾️

Amazing visual joy, very relaxing to watch. Thank you.

Having this video segue into a “Raid:Shadow Legends” ad would’ve been epic.

Thank you so much for this ❤

Can't unsee the mushroom on the top of a frog

You cannot claim that something is non deterministic while you're not observing it because you're not observing it being non deterministic.

From a philosophical perspective this video felt all over the place.

This video hits differently for those who have played Superliminal (where observation IS reality, because it's all a dream) and Outer Wilds (where macroscopic quantum events having their wave functions collapsed by a specifically conscious observer is a major game mechanic and plot point)...

This is a really awesome video how is it not as popular as your others

This is exactly how I have perspective to life and live my life through current period of observation. Deeply appreciate your afford and thank for manifesting this idea to life. ❤❤❤❤ how couldn't I met this channel sooner !?

Ah fun topic, the Anthropic Principle! The anthropic principle is the hypothesis that there is a restrictive lower bound on how statistically probable our observations of the universe are, because observations could only happen in a universe capable of developing intelligent life.

i hope, for as long as i live, that i make someone's universe worth observing. :)

The idea that the quantum universe is simply manifesting me in order to prove its existence has broken my brain…

I very much like the way, you are explaining the fact that souls don't exist by still considering the point that we really mean something. Yet the inconvincing fact is that, our choices decide whether we mean something

Back with yet another banger baby!

The animation is on point

I really enjoyed this video but I have two observations: 1) Quantum fields (and by extension the Standard Model) are our best theories of how the Universe works, but they only model reality. Fundamentally we don't know if there is a better model, it's just what we have that works best. Who knows what's actually going on... 2) If we were in a neuro-interactive simulation (ala the Matrix), then how would we be able to discern the simulation from reality? Better yet, we may just be non-corporeal altogether in a vast simulation running on someone's desk somewhere. Maybe we're a PhD student's research project? Who knows...

Great Video! reminds me of the quote by Carl Sagan, went something like "The universe is learning about it's self through your consciousness, you are the universe"

I watch a lot of science videos and I have never seen better animation than this in any other

Thanks, i needed this.

criminally underrated channel

ah yes, the double split and the observer...that's what helped wrap my head around some of these concepts...

Outstanding work capturing the individual universe and the interactions among universes while alive. I would argue though, once life ends for an individual, all the parts of the universe it has interacted with seal the connection through memory mechanisms and chemical digestion. The energy doesn't just stop, it gets transfered and will arguably continue to grow in complexity as evolution works its way

I'm just glad we got to finally see this frog we we're hearing so much about.

This was beautiful.

The book “maps of meaning” is a good exploration into this idea

You've become quite the animator!

Maybe that’s why Love is the answer?

This reminded me of the theory that the universe exists for only an unimaginably short time, like the planck time for example, and then dissolves into chaos through entropy, and some trillion trillion trillion years later the cloud of chaos reforms into the next fraction of a second, and breaks down again, and then another eternity later 1 second passes for us. And we don't notice or remember the universe dissolving because it's impossible to perceive.

absolutely brilliant

what a video.... speachless...amazing

All science aside, thanks for this healthy reminder. I hope this video reaches anyone who needs it, I really enjoyed it

Yeah this realization made me leave my abusive home and cut contact, I realized that I was the most important person in my own life.

Great video, and lovely message! Very well done. And cute frog. I would just like to mention though that “observation” as discussed in quantum mechanics is not to be confused with a consciously perceived observation. An electron can make an observation of a photon in quantum mechanics.

The video manifestation of an existential crisis

This was so good 🥰🙏🏻

So, if a tree falls down in the forest and no one is around to hear it, it does not make a sound, there is no tree, and no forest, either.

if you change your mind you change the universe

A rare kind voice in the sea of faeces

great job, your my favorite person now.

Nice video! Have you ever thought make a video about theories and conjectures on the nature of consciousness? I sometimes think about it and it's always a mind blowing experience. I would really love to see a video on the topic.

When we die, it all goes away... Except for the bad and _hopefully_ the Good we've done for others. We here try to choose the latter- Every time. Be Well, everyone and thank you for one hell of an episide

What a wonderful video!!

What doesn't sell this for me is that we seem to have this arrogance about us that assumes somehow that because we exist, the universe and everything that goes on it it can't possibly function the way it does without US observing it. If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? Yes, absolutely it does. Why? Because it doesn't need us to be an observer in order for the laws of physics around why it makes a sound, to make a sound: Tree falls, lands on something, soundwaves are generated, making a specific sound related to the action it just performed. Observed or not observed, physics, quantum this, quantum that, everything in the universe is going to function according to the laws around it, whether a big spheroid populated with brains exists or not.

I imagine the frog was hiding under the duck's hat.

This video is where i turn to, when existential dread from one of Exurb1a videos goes online.

The frog at the end is cute.

This heleped my self esteem more than therapy Thanks

Just, Thank You !

You are the best KZfaqr I ever knew

this video is amazing, however with death, I see it as another box. one we have no way of knowing until it is lifted, and only opens when the box of life closes, or before the box of life is opened
