The Webb telescope wasn't looking at the beginning of time, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!! Several galaxies that Webb documented were well-developed spirals very nearly 13.6 or 13.7 billions years old, and which seemingly formed only a few hundred thousand years after the "Big Bang". But this is a problem!!! According to current theory, that is NOT ENOUGH TIME for such galaxies to form. Conclusion: THE UNIVERSE IS OLDER THAN 13.8 BILLION YEARS OLD, AND POSSIBLY MUCH OLDER. Such misleading headlines and assertions only serve to further confuse a cosmology that's already in the dumps!!! The Big Bang theory no longer explains observations, and it should be questioned now more than ever. That goes especially for the current estimated AGE of the universe, which is NOT supported by the new data.

Most of these concepts are just our current understanding. With dark matter/energy nothing more than a bandaid for our observations showing that we still know nothing about the world we live in.
@@hikerJohnscientific hypotheses are fairy tales? Never heard that one before. Actually, wait, I probably have. From Young Earth creationists..I don't think I've ever heard it from anybody else.
But such an unbearable amount of repetition. 99% of the documentaries are standard stuff that everyone already knows. It's why I prefer stuff like PBS Spa etime, where the whole video is focused on what appears in the title. How much of this video was actually about JSWT?
Reminds me of aviation as well as the semiconductor industry. Aviation has gone from Wright brothers to hypersonic aircraft at 150k ft, and then spacecraft that have visited the moon and other planets, and have even left the solar system. Semiconductor has similarly gone from a single hand-soldered transistor to high-volume mfg of chips with BILLIONS of transistors. Combined with JWST and all the other space telescopes … I am almost speechless. We live in AMAZING times.
Astronomy, cosmology, and physics every night as I go to sleep…Entire History of the Universe is by far my favorite channel!! Love it when I see that new video each month!
It always makes me a bit emotional thinking about where we've come as a species. We're here contemplating and exploring some of the wildest questions about the fundamentals of our universe. It's often a background to all the craziness that goes on in our world. But it's a reminder that humanity is capable of some truly amazing things.
My two cents about this idea is that we are a Segway in evolution who happen to have this “bonus” to imagine what is out there and it keeps us so focused that one can see this as a blessing and a curse simultaneously
Me to and at the same time it makes me sad that I won’t be able to see how far things will be able to go, I know it will be great but I won’t be able to see it……….lmao sorry it’s that time of the night
It’s nice seeing comments such as yours. You may be just sharing your thoughts, but to hear positivity instead of unrelenting negativity is soo nice. So thanks
Its a crazy thought of time continuing on forever even after we are gone, but i don't think you or me will miss much. Technology can only carry us so far within any field of study before we cannot advance any further and we will be left speculating from there on. Thats whats going on in astronomy right now or seeing so far into the past, or how far we can see in any given direction or how we keep finding new smaller building blocks of the universe until we get to a point we cant look any further etc etc. No field of study will ever be complete.
I always love getting notifications from you. These documentaries have really helped me after my Dad's death. Knowing that we have based all our natural laws on about 10% of the actual matter in the universe. This has really helped me get rid of the deterministic view point I had developed over my college education and helped me by giving me hope that I would see my Dad again in the afterlife. I would even settle for knowing that he was reincarnated. At least then, he wouldn't be gone forever. I miss him every day. He was and is the reason I became a scientist in the first place. Thank you.
I know exactly how you feel, you are however pretty much your dad. All he gave you in spirit and upbringing and his genes. Even though he isnt here he is still here in you and even if there is nothing after death you had an exclusive opportunity to know him and yourself thru life and as we turn to atoms we feed life giving other life opportunity to feel the love and sorrow. It still sucks tho. I believe that this life is a drop in a neverending ocean
I have no doubt in my mind that your Dad is eternally proud of you and smiles upon you ever second of your every day! For me it was the Poincaré Recurrence Time that helped me eventually settle with my thoughts.. I truly believe that it is no mistake or random chance that I have the parents that I have, both of them truly unique and unrivaled by any other person that I know - and I am forever grateful that I can exist in this moment, sharing it with both of them, and knowing that if recurrence happens.. they will be waiting for me. Sending my good wishes from Hungary, be strong and be proud!
This is one of my favorite channels. It's science and history with an artistic narration. There are so many AI generated "science" videos channels these days. This is definitely not one of them.
after more than 16 years on youtube .. this is without a doubt my favorite channel. by far. nothing else even comes close. i said it before but will happily repeat: the mixture of beautifully written scripts, well researched, cutting out the bullshit and sensationalism.. with the voicing, which is plain and simple: perfect. taking pauses when needed, letting important thoughts sink in, pronouncing the corner stones .. then the editing, the selection of music .. i just can not praise you people enough. i fall asleep to science documentaries for more than a decade now .. but the urge to rewatch a video over and over to not miss a single beat has never been there in the way it is with your work. i am sending your videos to all of my close ones .. not to promote you .. but just to do them a favor. and they keep thanking me for it! please never stop
lol I just wrote a comment saying that I love falling asleep to this channel too! I was recently forced to spend a lot of time in hotels for work, far from home, for months. I was a bit lonely and depressed, and struggled with my sleeping. Then I stumbled across this channel one night, let it play quietly on my laptop next to me on the bed, with the brightness on low, and I slept for a solid 12 hours. I only occasionally woke up if there was some brash advert or something. Since then, I've been hooked. I know some others who like to sleep to space docs, I have shared these and they love them.
This is one of my favourite channels when it comes to explaining and maybe simplifying things for the average viewer. With a lot of channels i have noticed that they simplify the topics in somewhat weird ways but then also draw the wrong conclusions from their own simplifications. So far, i never had a moment like this with your videos as i always found them very well researched and also reviewed before you upload them. Every time you upload i know i will be happy watching it and that you wont BS me :)
It's such an honor and privilege to be alive and be well into one's mid-life to see a project like this succeed. How amazing, what we naked apes can do when we put our minds and resources to task. I often wonder where we might be had we devoted the bulk of our collective resources to projects like this rather than channeling them mostly into more and more clever ways to blow each other up based on tribalism...Thank you, as always, for the epically fabulous content!
agree, but It would be nothing else then a miracle if we could understand and explain all the hidden forces in the universe. it still needs a lot more study and work before we get there.
Global military burden (GMB) is only 2.2% if you can believe it (that might be a bit conservative of an estimate, imo) so the question is less of a "collective resources being squandered" one and more of an ideological one, and some kind of globally-minded "progressive" technocracy is pretty much what we have now in most wealthy countries... so when people fantasize about some sort of vague techno-utopia I think it rarely goes further than that- a fantasy. I do wish more energy and wealth was spent on the welfare of the general populace, and of course war is shit too. Go JWT!
Naked apes? Bro, I’m human. It’s amazing how two different people can study the exact same subject matter and come out with two very different conclusions from the material.
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, an update!!!! I LOVE YOU guys. you are like the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST science documentary in youtube. If they had a superlike (one that a user could only give but once a year) you guys would most definitely get it. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Side note, but isn't it amazing how contextualizing the knowledge we've gathered through the history of it's discovery really shows you the true struggles that science has faced and most importantly, how it overcame those struggles to get that knowledge
Given how relatively young humankind has developed in this universe, it’s ludicrous to think that there isn’t a much much older intelligent civilization/world(s) out there in those different and distant galaxies. It’s actually mathematically impossible that we’re alone in this universe.
Improbable might be a better word. Mathematics is about “proving” things yet how can you prove something is impossible, unlikely maybe but proving a negative gives you almost infinite options. It always seemed unlikely that we could be the ONLY sentiment life in such a vast cosmos but when you consider that humans have only existed for a blink of an eye in the universe time scale so for us to be able to discover/communicate with another life form has so many variables that would need to align such as the same time period , close enough for communication to travel within such a time frame plus a type of “life” that we could actually recognise and interact with.
I don’t think people realize how different an alien civilization could be, they might be super disciplined and loyal to their way of life they see the way humans live as an open threat, to whatever religion or way of life they believe in, but I also want to meet an alien civilization
I really appreciate these videos, to think they are free and available for anyone with the Internet is just fantastic! Please keep making these great videos!
It's surreal, right? Incredibly information-dense, high production value content like this used to exclusive to cable or satellite. Oh, how the times change!
I want somebody to help me clear something up in my brain. Doesn’t it seem like they just made it up? Right now, I’m struggling to distinguish why they think gravity is influencing matter when it seems like speculation. I understand they’re basing this on observed elements, but it feels like they’re missing a key point-they can interpret the elements of stars, planets, and atmospheres through spectrums like radiation. Yet, when it comes to dark matter, they claim it’s undetectable. But what if it’s simply matter that doesn’t reflect or emit radiation? What if it’s not glowing or visible because it can’t emit radiation? Correct me if I’m wrong with modern science, but can we truly detect everything in space? We can observe space in thermal, night vision, and even see the cosmic microwave background. Still, they attribute unexplained mass to dark matter. I feel like it’s just a placeholder explanation. I get that scientists inferred dark matter’s existence because of unexplained gravitational effects, like galaxy rotations and cluster movements. Sure, we detect many things across the electromagnetic spectrum, but dark matter doesn’t interact with light at all-it neither emits, absorbs, nor reflects it. The claim is that it has mass and exerts gravity but remains invisible. I’m not fully convinced. Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole. Couldn’t we be underestimating their mass or gravitational influence? Nearly all galaxies have central black holes, yet we still rely on models that may miss hidden or dark mass. What if we’re misinterpreting redshift data and the density of these massive objects? We can read elements in stars and deduce planet compositions, but what if there’s unaccounted mass in voids, like undetected meteors? To me, it seems like we’re underestimating what might simply be unseen, dense matter.
Excellent job of adding significantly to my undergrad astrophysics understanding. I found the visuals very effective in bringing the concepts to life and potentially to a new generation of scientists. Keep up the good work. Gerry
My people have been on a roll this week. Astrum put out a couple great new ones, as well John Michael Godier (along with Event Horizon). It’s been a good week for us space enthusiasts!! HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE
The single best science channel on UA-cam. Only one comes close - Cool Worlds - but your videos are like full length documentaries and I save them until I have a glass of Scotch and an hour to digest it all. Brilliant!
I just realized how big of a space nerd I actually am when the concluding statement actually got me a little choked up and grinning like an idiot. This was a good one, thank you!
Had a shit day but seeing this notification might help turn it around. I learn, relax and enjoy all content on this channel. Definitely one of my favourite channels ever and tv documentary don't even come close to these. 🏴
WOW! That was a thrilling story, both visually and narratively. As a science tutor, I was struck by the visual similarity in appearance of microscopic (e.g. cellular structures) and telescopic (e.g. galactic structures) images as revealed in this program. This was absolutely beautiful in every respect. Great show!
Me too man. I stayed up all night drinking. No one else I was with cared. They laughed at me. Saying I was a nerd or whatever. But they just don't know.
For me that moment was when they realized the Hubble mirror manufacturer had screwed up the calibration during polishing, causing blurry images. The fix for it was as miraculous as the mistake was stupid.
When I first found your channel I thought it would be great to fall asleep to due to the perfect voice and music production. I have yet to fall asleep to any episode because I don't want to miss anything. I have learned so much! Thank you!
You are the Captain Cook of the cosmos. One gets carried away on a cosmic ride, without busloads of human fantasies to distort the unsurpassed true wonder of creation. The accompanying digressions and tributes to the pioneers is so meticulously researched and documented. A labour of love. No wonder the poetic outcome. Hope you guys stay true to this ethos. A bit more detail about the small adjustments (tweaking)made to the current paradigm would have justified the title even more.
I always prefer content over animation. There are so many channels out there that just have pretty graphics and the same basic information you can learn anywhere. This channel is packed full of content and the animations are truly astounding. Don't even get me started on the narrator's voice. It's like listening to music by moonlight. Thank you so much for this free content. It's much appreciated.
Well done. Purely a layman here and my knowledge of cosmology is mostly online sourced. But I do try to keep up with the cosmology headlines and I felt like this was a very concise lesson that clearly described the psuedo-crisis that was exaggerated in the media--the frantic cries of "Big Bang Disproved" were irritating and it is nice to hear a well reasoned counter to the BS. The lesson here also included many very much appreciated descriptions of cosmological phenomena that I only vaguely understood. You did a good job of filling in many gaps for this layman.
This all shows that we still seem to be far away from REALLY understanding the nature/character of our universe. As always in science: Once you answer one question two new questions pop up. Great documentation, though!
I have watched your videos religiously for a couple years. Probably watched most videos upwards of 10 times a piece. If I could be so bold as to give one piece of advice, it would be.... MAKE MORE VIDEOS, I'm Addicted!
Oh hey, wasn't expecting to see Siding Spring in this video! I grew up (and now once again live) only a hundred kays from there, visited many times during school trips, and most recently earlier this year as a quick detour on a hiking trip. Always cool to hear what the place has contributed to wider science. You even pronounced Coonabarabran properly, give or take an accent 😁
Suggestion: It would be great in every new video, the Background and/or Introduction part shrinks a bit more than previous videos. And basically the video gets into REAL NEW material for presentation.
that bites reality in a few ways - there has to be different writers and people at work on each episode .. it is way too well done to be made by 1 single team. so no team can really estimate how much the viewer knows at a given point .. especially since its likely not possible to do the videos in any kind of fixed order
The observable universe (OU) is huge - beyond huge, incomprehensible in scale. Now, consider the OU is likely just a tiny fragment of what is truly out there, and if the universe is infinite, then it is impossible to imagine the scope. Remember, we are not the center of the OB, there is no edge, and EVERYWHERE is the center - mind blown yet!
Always a delight to see a new upload from this channel. Your videos have infinite replay-ability to me, so I'm never lacking in things to listen to that are genuinely nourishing and informative. Your videos help me to foster a sense of overwhelming love for the earth and the universe around me, and a deep desire to be alive to see it all unfold. Thank you for all the hard work and hours you put into these! I love science Lets go earthlings
our meeting aliens these space videos are no fun to watch at all. It's all wrong and pompus garbage, jumping to conclusions before anyone in the world has even seen the data, they already have a new mystery to force down our throats. they call everything a mystery to end discussions. they don't want anyone to put the pieces together. religion wiped history, tap the phones to see is anyone falling for this garbage. our entire history if mandated mystery end of story. well our alien buddy completely opened our eyes to our true history, why on Earth are we here. Spoiler alert. Nobody wants us exploring the universe with unlimited resources. They want us eating bugs in the 13th century with no electricity begging Bill to let us have the sunshine.
wonderful presentation! I think a lot of the mystery of the universe lies in not being able to grasp the entirety of it. I'm sure it is orders of complexity than our best guesses
I’m willing to bet that when the next better space telescope that can peer deeper than Webb comes out we’re gonna find even more galaxies that Webb for as powerful as it is just can’t see and I can’t wait for that moment. Also great vid!
Imagine living in the era of Hubble's discovery. Thinking the Milky Way was the only galaxy in the universe, then discovering there's an almost infinite amount of galaxies and the universe is actually expanding.
we know that energy can appear and disappear from nowhere, but that such a mass of energy appeared from nowhere to create the universe is very unlikely! first they explained the big bang with a singularity, now quantum fluctuation! I think singularity is only a word for "we don't know".
Don't worry yourself about it. The Truth Shall Never Vary. The only way the Universe could have come into existence is by A guiding Intellect that controls Atoms and molecules and energy..A designer that is not made of matter and can be Everywhere At Once This Intellect is The One that lit the Stars and hung the Planets
This is no shade to the channel but I find these videos so great to fall asleep to! Partially it is the narrator's voice (is that a Welsh accent? It's quite mild if so), his cadence and rhythm is soothing. And it is the subject matter, which I genuinely find fascinating. I also love falling asleep to Attenborough's nature docs, from every era. I can't put on Planet Earth if I plan on gettinh anything else done that day, cos I know I'll be dozing within 20mins. Please keep making these excellent, informative, horizon expanding videos!
Great video, thank you. Top prose, top information, top clarity, top clarity. Top of the Universe. "Rara Avis" - our predecessors used to say of something which was hard to come by, something of rare beauty, literally a rare bird...
There are so many leaps from one phase of creation to another in this "documentary", that inspire me to keep pressing ahead for what really is happening!
Could you guys do a video on how researchers actually find planets in other star systems and galaxies? I would love to understand what they're actually seeing.
They're actually only seeing graphs and data, bro. Two popular methods: one measures the star's woble as it rotates because planets pull on the star too but it's a very tiny woble. This only works to find big planets like Jupiter. Second method is to see the spectrum of the light the star emits, when a planet crosses it there is a very tiny shift in the spectrum as the atmosphere of the planet has molecules that react with the light and subtly shift it. Hope it helps! Both have their problems and nuances.
@@Jabranalibabrythey use cameras and photos too, they're just in other frequencies of electromagnetic wave and they run it through filters. Later on they can go and change everything to look good.
I get so excited when you post a new video, I've watched every video on your channel multiple times over and they never get boring. This is the best channel on UA-cam in my opinion 👏
Like many times in the past, we know for sure, that this time we know everything about the universe. This will most definitely not be the last time. In my humble opinion, I think we are in for a very big surprise.
Thank you guys for yet another excellent episode! I remember being quite excited to hear when Webb had finally successfully finished deploying (not to mention launching successfully in the first place). I hope it continues doing good science for a long while yet. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
"not to mention launching successfully in the first place". Yeah, not to mention. Like they managed not to mention the name of the "massive rocket", not once but twice. Quite deliberate. I wonder why ? Oh, it was not a MAGA rocket. It was European with French boosters.
Superbly, objectively done. I absorbed/learned more about the origins of the universe, than from a score of other theoretical productions. This layman is very appreciative of your efforts.
Can you please setup a Patrion ! I need to give you my money so you can spend more time working on these amazing videos that have become such an important part of mine and others life!

agree, but It would be nothing else then a miracle if we could understand and explain all the hidden forces in the universe. it still needs a lot more study and work before we get there.
Global military burden (GMB) is only 2.2% if you can believe it (that might be a bit conservative of an estimate, imo) so the question is less of a "collective resources being squandered" one and more of an ideological one, and some kind of globally-minded "progressive" technocracy is pretty much what we have now in most wealthy countries... so when people fantasize about some sort of vague techno-utopia I think it rarely goes further than that- a fantasy. I do wish more energy and wealth was spent on the welfare of the general populace, and of course war is shit too. Go JWT!
@@mikalzanna2076 Absolutely valid and valuable information! Ty!
I wonder that too! We're still cavemen 💀
Naked apes? Bro, I’m human. It’s amazing how two different people can study the exact same subject matter and come out with two very different conclusions from the material.
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, an update!!!! I LOVE YOU guys. you are like the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST science documentary in youtube. If they had a superlike (one that a user could only give but once a year) you guys would most definitely get it.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Side note, but isn't it amazing how contextualizing the knowledge we've gathered through the history of it's discovery really shows you the true struggles that science has faced and most importantly, how it overcame those struggles to get that knowledge
@@hughlion1817 and it is beautiful to see how this all seems to change lately .. albeit slowly
Soup or juice
This is the top of my "must watch" list on u-tube. It deserves a much higher subscription rate.
Always a treat when you guys upload. High quality videos
Given how relatively young humankind has developed in this universe, it’s ludicrous to think that there isn’t a much much older intelligent civilization/world(s) out there in those different and distant galaxies. It’s actually mathematically impossible that we’re alone in this universe.
Mathematically impossile? Can you explain?
Improbable might be a better word. Mathematics is about “proving” things yet how can you prove something is impossible, unlikely maybe but proving a negative gives you almost infinite options.
It always seemed unlikely that we could be the ONLY sentiment life in such a vast cosmos but when you consider that humans have only existed for a blink of an eye in the universe time scale so for us to be able to discover/communicate with another life form has so many variables that would need to align such as the same time period , close enough for communication to travel within such a time frame plus a type of “life” that we could actually recognise and interact with.
I don’t think people realize how different an alien civilization could be, they might be super disciplined and loyal to their way of life they see the way humans live as an open threat, to whatever religion or way of life they believe in, but I also want to meet an alien civilization
Maybe the universe is just so big, and we are simply limited to the speed of light, so it would take Foorever to find each other
Maybe life is not as common as we think. Maybe any life being here is the impossibility.
Genuinely love your work!!! Super exciting every time you post!!!
One of the best lectures I've ever seen!
I really appreciate these videos, to think they are free and available for anyone with the Internet is just fantastic!
Please keep making these great videos!
It's surreal, right? Incredibly information-dense, high production value content like this used to exclusive to cable or satellite.
Oh, how the times change!
I want somebody to help me clear something up in my brain. Doesn’t it seem like they just made it up? Right now, I’m struggling to distinguish why they think gravity is influencing matter when it seems like speculation. I understand they’re basing this on observed elements, but it feels like they’re missing a key point-they can interpret the elements of stars, planets, and atmospheres through spectrums like radiation. Yet, when it comes to dark matter, they claim it’s undetectable. But what if it’s simply matter that doesn’t reflect or emit radiation? What if it’s not glowing or visible because it can’t emit radiation?
Correct me if I’m wrong with modern science, but can we truly detect everything in space? We can observe space in thermal, night vision, and even see the cosmic microwave background. Still, they attribute unexplained mass to dark matter. I feel like it’s just a placeholder explanation.
I get that scientists inferred dark matter’s existence because of unexplained gravitational effects, like galaxy rotations and cluster movements. Sure, we detect many things across the electromagnetic spectrum, but dark matter doesn’t interact with light at all-it neither emits, absorbs, nor reflects it. The claim is that it has mass and exerts gravity but remains invisible.
I’m not fully convinced. Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole. Couldn’t we be underestimating their mass or gravitational influence? Nearly all galaxies have central black holes, yet we still rely on models that may miss hidden or dark mass. What if we’re misinterpreting redshift data and the density of these massive objects? We can read elements in stars and deduce planet compositions, but what if there’s unaccounted mass in voids, like undetected meteors? To me, it seems like we’re underestimating what might simply be unseen, dense matter.
How are y’all not at 1 mil yet?? Wonderful video as always, thank you
i will never understand it .. if youtube was fair, they should have an 8 figure sub count by now
Work of this exceptional quality deserves way more than 693K subscribers!
Always brilliantly put together and such a lovely voice too 😊..thank you for awakening my interest in science again 😊❤
I love your videos, and your ability to explain these pictures, visually in a way that I can understand it. Thank you.
Awesome.
Excellent job of adding significantly to my undergrad astrophysics understanding. I found the visuals very effective in bringing the concepts to life and potentially to a new generation of scientists. Keep up the good work. Gerry
My people have been on a roll this week. Astrum put out a couple great new ones, as well John Michael Godier (along with Event Horizon). It’s been a good week for us space enthusiasts!! HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE
Appreciate the HOTU team! You rock! 🛰️🤘
The single best science channel on UA-cam.
Only one comes close - Cool Worlds - but your videos are like full length documentaries and I save them until I have a glass of Scotch and an hour to digest it all. Brilliant!
cool worlds is great .. and has a great style of presenting .. but it is rather philosophical at times, and not all the topics hit my nerves
I just realized how big of a space nerd I actually am when the concluding statement actually got me a little choked up and grinning like an idiot. This was a good one, thank you!
Had a shit day but seeing this notification might help turn it around. I learn, relax and enjoy all content on this channel. Definitely one of my favourite channels ever and tv documentary don't even come close to these. 🏴
YESSSS HOTU FRIDAYS ARE THE BEST FRIDAYS!!!!
WOW! That was a thrilling story, both visually and narratively. As a science tutor, I was struck by the visual similarity in appearance of microscopic (e.g. cellular structures) and telescopic (e.g. galactic structures) images as revealed in this program. This was absolutely beautiful in every respect. Great show!
Watching James Webb’s launch was one of the most stressful moments of my life.
then you need to get a life.
Me too man. I stayed up all night drinking. No one else I was with cared. They laughed at me. Saying I was a nerd or whatever. But they just don't know.
It was chrismas eve right??
Just watch Star Trek, Both a just stories and utter nonsense
For me that moment was when they realized the Hubble mirror manufacturer had screwed up the calibration during polishing, causing blurry images. The fix for it was as miraculous as the mistake was stupid.
I love history of the universe, it's one of my favorite channels to watch .
This channel is pure gold! Thank you!
When I first found your channel I thought it would be great to fall asleep to due to the perfect voice and music production. I have yet to fall asleep to any episode because I don't want to miss anything. I have learned so much! Thank you!
You are the Captain Cook of the cosmos.
One gets carried away on a cosmic ride, without busloads of human fantasies to distort the unsurpassed true wonder of creation.
The accompanying digressions and tributes to the pioneers is so meticulously researched and documented.
A labour of love.
No wonder the poetic outcome.
Hope you guys stay true to this ethos.
A bit more detail about the small adjustments (tweaking)made to the current paradigm would have justified the title even more.
This comment is beautifying written, and so profound. This is written art.
This is my favourite UA-cam channel. So much to learn! Thank you for all your work.
Saw this video and was so happy another one has finally come..i look forward to them every time . Thank you and great work!
I always prefer content over animation. There are so many channels out there that just have pretty graphics and the same basic information you can learn anywhere. This channel is packed full of content and the animations are truly astounding. Don't even get me started on the narrator's voice. It's like listening to music by moonlight.
Thank you so much for this free content. It's much appreciated.
The narrator's voice can also be kind of dull at times.
Best notification ever. 🫶🏻
Yes!
Wish the notifications were a lot more frequent!
On par with and equal in feeling to the best NOVA space episodes. This channel is appreciated.
nova was nice .. but this is better in so many ways imo
They understand so little that is why it’s a MYSTERY, they deny there is a creator of the universe
This video with the pictures and explanations are very. hypnotic and magical.
BEST CHANNEL EVER 🎉🎉🎉
It's so weird that as soon as the 1920s is when we discovered that the universe is bigger than the Milky Way.
Dude this is great - condensed but well conveyed, comprehensive information delivered expertly.
Well done. Purely a layman here and my knowledge of cosmology is mostly online sourced. But I do try to keep up with the cosmology headlines and I felt like this was a very concise lesson that clearly described the psuedo-crisis that was exaggerated in the media--the frantic cries of "Big Bang Disproved" were irritating and it is nice to hear a well reasoned counter to the BS. The lesson here also included many very much appreciated descriptions of cosmological phenomena that I only vaguely understood. You did a good job of filling in many gaps for this layman.
Been waiting 3 days for this! Yay!! Thank you guys for what you do! You are appreciated! ❤
every time I watch a video from you I am amazed that we exist. thank you and keep us gasping in wonder
I find myself waiting for new videos to drop as if i'm watching a new series!
This all shows that we still seem to be far away from REALLY understanding the nature/character of our universe. As always in science: Once you answer one question two new questions pop up. Great documentation, though!
That's the nature of the game!
I have watched your videos religiously for a couple years. Probably watched most videos upwards of 10 times a piece. If I could be so bold as to give one piece of advice, it would be.... MAKE MORE VIDEOS, I'm Addicted!
It's truly amazing what can be achieved when humanity works together.
Been waiting on a documentary about this!.
Absolutely awesome. Gave me chills. I wish I could be a part of it somehow. Please see this thru, for the sake of humanity.
Damn, how I love this channel ❤❤❤
Oh hey, wasn't expecting to see Siding Spring in this video! I grew up (and now once again live) only a hundred kays from there, visited many times during school trips, and most recently earlier this year as a quick detour on a hiking trip. Always cool to hear what the place has contributed to wider science. You even pronounced Coonabarabran properly, give or take an accent 😁
Finally some quality to watch ❤
Suggestion: It would be great in every new video, the Background and/or Introduction part shrinks a bit more than previous videos. And basically the video gets into REAL NEW material for presentation.
that bites reality in a few ways - there has to be different writers and people at work on each episode .. it is way too well done to be made by 1 single team.
so no team can really estimate how much the viewer knows at a given point .. especially since its likely not possible to do the videos in any kind of fixed order
The observable universe (OU) is huge - beyond huge, incomprehensible in scale. Now, consider the OU is likely just a tiny fragment of what is truly out there, and if the universe is infinite, then it is impossible to imagine the scope. Remember, we are not the center of the OB, there is no edge, and EVERYWHERE is the center - mind blown yet!
Kind of makes you feel incredibly insignificant but unbelievably blessed to be able to witness this beyond any magic.
Loved this one
Always stoked to find new videos from this and the History of the Earth
Same!! I check my notifications daily just to see if either of the channels has a new video lol
Yay!! A new video. Always love your videos. History of the universe or the earth. Always so interesting and well said. Thank you good, Sir!
Always a good day when you see a new video from this channel.
Always a delight to see a new upload from this channel. Your videos have infinite replay-ability to me, so I'm never lacking in things to listen to that are genuinely nourishing and informative. Your videos help me to foster a sense of overwhelming love for the earth and the universe around me, and a deep desire to be alive to see it all unfold. Thank you for all the hard work and hours you put into these! I love science Lets go earthlings
our meeting aliens these space videos are no fun to watch at all. It's all wrong and pompus garbage, jumping to conclusions before anyone in the world has even seen the data, they already have a new mystery to force down our throats. they call everything a mystery to end discussions. they don't want anyone to put the pieces together. religion wiped history, tap the phones to see is anyone falling for this garbage. our entire history if mandated mystery end of story. well our alien buddy completely opened our eyes to our true history, why on Earth are we here. Spoiler alert. Nobody wants us exploring the universe with unlimited resources. They want us eating bugs in the 13th century with no electricity begging Bill to let us have the sunshine.
By far the most underrated youtube channal.
It's not underrated the channel is only 2 years old.
wonderful presentation! I think a lot of the mystery of the universe lies in not being able to grasp the entirety of it. I'm sure it is orders of complexity than our best guesses
OUTSTANDING documentary!!!!!
I’m willing to bet that when the next better space telescope that can peer deeper than Webb comes out we’re gonna find even more galaxies that Webb for as powerful as it is just can’t see and I can’t wait for that moment. Also great vid!
I'm with you. I'm thinking we'll see more galaxies. And Niel Tyson Degrassi will have to learn something new...
I watch your videos to sleep. It’s very relaxing and easier to understand. And the visualisation is also awesome. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant, as usual.
Informative, educational.
Thank You
Thank you JWST for providing us more knowledge about UNIVERSE
Imagine living in the era of Hubble's discovery. Thinking the Milky Way was the only galaxy in the universe, then discovering there's an almost infinite amount of galaxies and the universe is actually expanding.
Excellent Show
we know that energy can appear and disappear from nowhere, but that such a mass of energy appeared from nowhere to create the universe is very unlikely! first they explained the big bang with a singularity, now quantum fluctuation! I think singularity is only a word for "we don't know".
Don't worry yourself about it. The Truth Shall Never Vary. The only way the Universe could have come into existence is by A guiding Intellect that controls
Atoms and molecules and energy..A designer that is not made of matter and can be Everywhere At Once This Intellect is The One that lit the Stars and hung the Planets
This is no shade to the channel but I find these videos so great to fall asleep to! Partially it is the narrator's voice (is that a Welsh accent? It's quite mild if so), his cadence and rhythm is soothing. And it is the subject matter, which I genuinely find fascinating. I also love falling asleep to Attenborough's nature docs, from every era. I can't put on Planet Earth if I plan on gettinh anything else done that day, cos I know I'll be dozing within 20mins.
Please keep making these excellent, informative, horizon expanding videos!
Great video, thank you. Top prose, top information, top clarity, top clarity. Top of the Universe.
"Rara Avis" - our predecessors used to say of something which was hard to come by, something of rare beauty, literally a rare bird...
There are so many leaps from one phase of creation to another in this "documentary", that inspire me to keep pressing ahead for what really is happening!
Could you guys do a video on how researchers actually find planets in other star systems and galaxies? I would love to understand what they're actually seeing.
Yes, instead of just unwinding all these animation clips to leave the impression of knowing everything.
They're actually only seeing graphs and data, bro. Two popular methods: one measures the star's woble as it rotates because planets pull on the star too but it's a very tiny woble. This only works to find big planets like Jupiter. Second method is to see the spectrum of the light the star emits, when a planet crosses it there is a very tiny shift in the spectrum as the atmosphere of the planet has molecules that react with the light and subtly shift it. Hope it helps! Both have their problems and nuances.
If you scroll back on their videos, the one on how light works may be useful :)
Specific to JWST if you search how jwst works there's a 9 min video that will make more sense after watching the how light works one
@@Jabranalibabrythey use cameras and photos too, they're just in other frequencies of electromagnetic wave and they run it through filters. Later on they can go and change everything to look good.
What a time to be alive
I get so excited when you post a new video, I've watched every video on your channel multiple times over and they never get boring. This is the best channel on UA-cam in my opinion 👏
Like many times in the past, we know for sure, that this time we know everything about the universe. This will most definitely not be the last time.
In my humble opinion, I think we are in for a very big surprise.
I really am thankful that this kind of content exists on youtube. Thank you for making these.
It so awesome that we are able to think about the universe, being in it
that is one of the most profound - and also - one of the deepest thoughts possible :D
Thank you guys for yet another excellent episode! I remember being quite excited to hear when Webb had finally successfully finished deploying (not to mention launching successfully in the first place). I hope it continues doing good science for a long while yet.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
"not to mention launching successfully in the first place". Yeah, not to mention. Like they managed not to mention the name of the "massive rocket", not once but twice. Quite deliberate. I wonder why ? Oh, it was not a MAGA rocket. It was European with French boosters.
Superbly, objectively done. I absorbed/learned more about the origins of the universe, than from a score of other theoretical productions. This layman is very appreciative of your efforts.
Can you please setup a Patrion ! I need to give you my money so you can spend more time working on these amazing videos that have become such an important part of mine and others life!
