I think about this concept a lot, that’s why I love Outer Wilds for actually exploring it

makes you wonder if real death is something like that

@@GooeyMr1 i mean i figure that's what makes it so scary! outer wilds is obviously very science FICTION but most of its premises are based in science FACT, so some day, somewhere, someone will sit in the dark, though who knows if they'll be alone, as the last star goes out and the universe finally goes dark. to quote solanum; "This universe will keep getting colder and larger, until one day, the stars and the life they support will all die. That’s scary to think about, even though Conoy tells me it won’t happen in our lifetimes. But it’ll happen in someone else’s, someday!"

@@GooeyMr1 not to be a proselyte, but thats kinda the promise of damnation. well, that, and the Excrucians, if they find you. the lucky ones drift in the eternal dark, screaming forever. theoretically, judgement day is supposed to be a final, final end. total destruction, so even the drifting darkness isn't forever. you wont be able to tell the difference though.

That's why I will never understand people that want to be immortal just to see the universe die. They never think about still being conscious in the infinite nothing afterwards.

To be fair, that’s the remaining heat of a dying star. It’d be a while before it all dissipated enough to be there safely.

@@Veelofar you do understand space is a vacuum? The only energy would be light and that would travel out and dissipate

@@iCore7Gaming yes, stars famously have no heat in space. That’s why the Sun transfers no heat to Earth.

@@iCore7Gaming Space is a near-vacuum normally, but this solar system is full of superheated matter ejected by a supernova. It’s still there, just too dispersed to see and no longer glowing.

I don't think there'd be any planets left to explore after a super nova

A Supernova, based on the main composition of a Sun, would be like a HUUGE hydrogen bomb with a bit of radioactivity so it is comprehensible that you die immediately after arriving back to the solar system, as everything in there just took a radioactive bath that might have left A SUPER HIGH temperature In real life, Supernovas affect other solar systems which is amazing

​@@cartmaneric4042 yup, if a powerful enough gamma ray burst hit the earth from a distant supernova it could burn a hole through the ozone layer and eliminate all life on earth

@@friendlyelites AMAZING!

Before, during, after?, you’ll never know

my first ending, without knowing wtf was going on, playing around in High Energy lab with the scout. BOOM broke space time XD

The kazoo in the credits is just the cherry on top.

I think it's the scariest ending in the game like what happens to you after the fabrics of space time just shatters? It destroys all universe ? Idk maybe it's just me

I actually broke spacetime while exploring dark bramble. The supernova hit while I was transitioning into the next zone. Spacetime broken.

You can actually make them fall quicker by crashing something into those pieces. You could try and crash into the meteor thingies from the volcanic moon to redirect them where u want, or u could just straight up crash ur ship into the planet

Well... technically there is no such thing. The Nomai aren't creating alternative universes, it's not time travel, it's more like a simulation. We as the players are of course aware of the time loop and each iteration - but in-universe, only the last "loop" where you deactivate the ATP and collapse the Eye (or, you know, die trying), is the one that happens. The player character simply wakes up with all of the previous loops' memories. We the players get to play and experience each loop, but the Youngling doesn't, not really. He only remembers the previous loops, but he didn't live them. So the loops don't really exist like real realities, they're more like a... 22 minute dream. Well, a lot of 22 minute dreams - and you remember them all, at once, when you wake up. So yeah, no lonely death in space for time loop Youngling. :) Only for the took-out-the-advanced-warp-core Youngling :(

@@HoriaM29 you're right, but so are they, depending on how you think about it. going back in time could cause a branching timeline, or there's only one timeline. all changes on your beliefs of a multiverse; i believe in a multiverse which makes the game scarier when you think that the hatchling still exists after a loop. they remember dying over and over, so for the hell of it they fly out of the solar system and... nothing. they see the supernova, effectively watching everyone they care about die, waiting for the ATP to send them back, and it doesn't happen. if they can get far enough away, they'll either starve or run out of air. think one of the dlc endings, but for every loop, and all that's different is that a new timeline is created from the memories of all before them. yet, they don't know about after the loop, doomed to repeat it, like all of their predecessors.

@@mr.phantom674 But that's the issue, it's not time travel - it's a time loop. There are no multiverses created as there is no altering of the past or future. The loop is a self-contained system that doesn't affect anything outside it. Each loop is a *virtual* 22-minute snapshot of the universe. It begins 22 minutes before the supernova and ends when the ATP finishes sending the information. Nothing exists before or after it as that would contradict the whole purpose of the loop. It's as if you were saving before a hard boss and then loading back each time you die until you defeat him. You are aware of each loop yes, but in-game there is only one "real loop" - the one in which you succeed in killing the boss. All the other saves don't exist anymore, they cease to exist the moment you load back. It's the same for the universe in Outer Wilds.

One of the biggest misreads of the lore in this game that I see is either people thinking that the time loops are cumulative (22 minutes times every time the probe is launched) or that time is being rewritten. Time itself is not being affected, and the rest of the universe is not being reset nor is the solar system out of step with the rest of the universe. Only the Hatchling's *memories* are affected. Another commentor put it best - each loop is effectively a simulation, what COULD be, and the only REAL passage of time is where you remove the warp core, disabling Ash Twin.

@@mr.phantom674Obviously those discussions are inherently flawed and imaginary, but I don’t think the lore involves parallel universe. Think about how warping works. If the object were sent to another identical universe, it would disappear from the current reality. However, we see that is not the case. (Still, there is the issue about determinism and free will. The game explained it away with “destroy the fabric of spacetime”, which doesn’t make much sense because not sending back the same memory is ostensibly okay.)

I've seen those endings before, they're good at giving you an existential crisis

me the first time I found the warp core and pulled it out without realizing what I had just done, now sitting in giants deep talking to gabbro and trying to show them my fancy pants new warp core when they say, hey maybe you should turn it off haha, and I realize, oh I did hm

AWW HELL NAW I JUST WATCHED THE LAST MINUTE

The only part that doesn’t make sense is that you can warp back at all. If the warp receiver has been burned up by a supernova how did you warp there? Literally unplayable…

I think a real supernova would literally vaporize any planets in orbit, although given the physics of this world is different in other ways they could be justified in making the scale different so they're burned, flaming husks instead. It's cool that they did the design for some stellar remnant where the sun was at least.

This made me smile

I’ll try this, I think I recalled it too early

@@kay_jello I am quite curious myself

I’ve seen videos of this, it’s so funny and the ui goes absolutely nuts. I’m gonna try an replicate it one day

You didn't died because of the sun at that distance, you were just brought back in time by Ash Twin Project

@@BakaLorehat I know, I just said "sun go brrrrrrr" for comedic purposes

No, unfortunately even after the supernova effects are gone, if you return you just get burnt away like normal

@@LocalBread Maybe using cheats u can turn that off

@@legendbender yeah, there are mods you can get to survive it

I’ve tried it so many times and failed so I don’t think so

I've read claims that you need 10+ km/s and bigger distance than makes sun invisible

@@kay_jelloYou can but it take hella speed and you’ll die soon after but you do get a achievement

I've seen a video where someone did that, though that might have been some sort of glitch

I did it once, I was just messing around traveling super far away, then I decided I would come back, and giants deep was right in front of me. I hit that thing at ludicrous speeds. Got in as well

Thanks! I’ll definitely do more outer wilds videos

you cant, it will trigger the end screen before you get there

It's very cinematic

bro did u actually watch the video or?

@@fomalhaut_the_great didn’t show that I’m pretty sure

@@connordervoncyberlifegesen8529 3:46 + you should know that if you can stay after the supernova that means that it's not in a loop anymore soooo

@@connordervoncyberlifegesen8529 they literally did it twice? Bruh did you just black out watching this video?

It's no lie, here you go: 9:32

@@kay_jello oh i see, sorry. i got bored of waiting and skipped thru, missed the 2 seconds of the test lol
