Happy happy happy your back mate, 72 year young retired electronics engineer, part time sad astrologist and useless mathematician, and I have to say your videos are so enlightening. I have forwarded all of your vids to every one I know. Please stay around for the planets sake.🦘🇦🇺👍🏼
I have autism and am absolutely obsessed with space. This is the first time I could conceptualize the galaxies and I almost cried. Thank you so much for animating this. Your videos are now my most favorite thing in the universe. I appreciate how long this video must have taken to make, let alone all your channel. You have a subscriber for life.
It's one thing to know the number in an intellectual way, billions and trillions, but to see those numbers displayed in such a visceral relatable way makes all the difference for many of us. He did a great job of doing that.
He did though. He said the distance between our Milky Way and our nearest galactical neighbour on that scale was a ruler length which is about 300mm. That's why he just poured them on top of each other because even with the space between removed it's still mind boggling. That's kinda the whole point he was illustrating. Thanks for your help though.
Yeah, same here. These 355 pools left me speechless. Holy sh*t, our complete existence is waaaaaaayyyy less than nothing! You have to deal with it. Very grounding. Thank you. 😉
It made me so happy to hear the Planetary Society sponsored you. Youre on track to being the new Cosmos, and UA-cam and its community absolutely needs that. Dont burn yourself out, look forward to seeing your channel/vision grow!
You seriously make some of the best content there is (can u do a magic school bus/ inside our body type video?) It fascinates me that when we look around & see all of this complexity throughout the Universe. This complexity basically comes from: ~{"Differences"}~ Differences seem to be a key factor to keep dynamic systems functioning. Just look at: *{High pressure/low pressure, hot/cold temperatures, different densities, viscosities, turbulent flow, static electric charges/discharges, +/- electromagnetism, different frequencies of photon's, different velocity/angular momentum, different amounts of energy/mass/vibrations. Different boundary layers between different regions such as: (Land/water/air/layers of the atmosphere/space/ the different regions in space with different particle density/background radiation, solar wind/membrane layers/bubble's/surface tension/cloud regions, nebula's/Galaxy's/Galaxy clusters/ Cosmic filaments/less dense regions of space compared to dense regions of space.) All of these things are basic differences but create a way for the dynamic engine with-in Nature to continue flowing and operating to create and convert energy.} Just Like How a battery 🔋 transfers + charges through a membrane layer to a - charged side. Like how regions of high/low temperature 🌡️ create winds. In water- add some factors and It creates ocean currents and flow. Then internally inside our planet it creates plate tectonics, planetary convection, geothermal activity, a magnetic field around our planet, to hold a atmosphere. The list goes on 🧲🌡️📡🔆☢️🔌🔊🔋♻️🌐☯️⚛️ The natural world around us is utterly facinating.
Wow. Just, wow. The final visualization really brings it all home. Some people feel nihilistic dread when confronted by the enormity of the universe. I feel hope and awe.
Same, some scifi writers may think of aliens as hostile but I say so what? With so many galaxies out there, there may well be more species of them than bacteria in our own oceans, with highly diversified forms, biology, and psychology. Some of them being hostile doesn't cancel out the sheer possibility and beauty of it.
Cosmologist here. Beautiful video; thanks for sharing! At 8:52 I was *really* hoping we'd be able to see the cosmic web at this point; I think you really missed out on a golden opportunity there to talk about the structure of galaxies out there. It's not just white noise; there's a *structure* to the galaxies we see on the sky!! They look like a vast, neural network, something akin to a brain or a sponge. Would've been cool to see, but I get that would've been immensly more work to program up.
Thanks! You can see some of the web in the 10km sphere as I’m flying through it, branching and flowing, however I don’t think you’d see any of it at the end of the video. The Universe (as I understand it) is quite uniform when viewed in totality, especially in the visible light spectrum when dark matter isn’t highlighted, you’re right that you might see a little bit of the ‘webiness ’ as the zoom starts and you sort of see that as a noise pattern but it soon disappears to be lost in sea of low resolution when viewed as a human, where thousands of galaxies of the deep field is only a couple of cones or ‘pixels’ of our eye in visual acuity. Glad you enjoyed it otherwise and keep up the amazing work!
@@EpicSpaceman But looking at images you'd get when searching for "Galaxy filament" it is not uniform. It seems to me that depending on where you look you could be looking at a big cluster (with even more overlapping galaxies than in the Deep Space photos) or a relatively empty area (with, perhaps, less), so you'd get different densities of galaxies and thus levels of brightness in the sky, making the light vary in threads instead of looking like an uniform cloudy day. Right? The question is how big and how many filaments there are, or whether the areas humanity imaged happened to be areas with less or more density. I'm not an astronomer so I have no idea of how close we are at answering these questions. But it'd be awesome to see that approximated in the simulation, making a new skybox based on one of those filament images where you superimpose more deep space galaxies in the brighter areas and (perhaps) spread them apart in the darker areas. This could be confidently simulated if we had deep space photos of half the sky. Some day! Also, congratulations on the _incredible_ quality of videos you consistently produce. I haven't seen anyone come close!
Once you believe you understand how big the universe is, there’s always another example that blows your mind, reminding you that you can *pretend* to have an idea of its scale, but you can never truly comprehend it.
I've seen countless videos about the universe and our existence and by this point I feel like I've seen it all and nothing can really impress me anymore, but this blows my mind and makes me feel like a kid again.
How wonderful, thank you! That’s really the ultimate compliment for me, helping people get to that feeling of child-like awe that’s hard to find as we get older
I expected the one pool getting filled up but when you showed the actual number of pools needed I got tears in my eyes. I knew about the 200 billion galaxies but you made me feel that number and it is overwhelming.
Thank you! It’s really important to me that the numbers make sense and can be tangible because as soon as you get into millions and billions they lose all meaning to me normally
@@EpicSpacemanHello, really appreciate your job. Don't you think it's just impossible that we're only one in the universe? I think till year 2500, we will find thousands of signs of life out there.
@@EpicSpaceman and you nailed it. most people including me, have a hard time understanding what a billion means.For example, if you make 100K $/€ per year (which is pretty much. for me at least) and save it all. (no interests blabla) you have a million $/€ in 10 years. pretty nice huh. But it takes you 10000 years to make a billion. Now take that times 200 ;-) Awesome videos E>
I'm 38. I first watched Carl Sagan when I was in community college. I saw an episode of Cosmos in my basement. I was so fascinated not only by all the unbelievable things he was showing me, but the way he made my brain stretch to see the beauty and wonder in the universe. I watched all the rest of the episodes, then read every book he had ever written, watched every video I could find of him and of the people who knew him, such as his wife Ann Druyan. I get that same feeling when I watch your videos. I can definitely see the influence of Carl Sagan in your videos and your thinking. Thanks for being so awesome.
Hard to put into words how unbelievably fascinating this video is. The dimensions of the universe are so hard to understand. You just solved that problem.
At just over 4 minutes in, I was thinking, "Bravo! This was a great video!" And then after another 11 minutes, I was like, "What I thought before was, perhaps, the greatest understatement I could say about anything."
Thank you! This was an awesome comment to read, I'm so pleased that you felt the video got even better after that first 'reveal', makes all the effort worth it
@@EpicSpaceman I appreciate the reply! And I definitely appreciate your effort. Every scene was packed. Just the pool scene was enough to impress me...and that was just a small part of the whole! (And I know there's so much I didn't notice, which also required effort.) Thanks again! 👍
Just thinking, of people saying there are no aliens, Man with this video it just confirms that there is alien life, statistically speaking!! Maybe not in our galaxy, but in 1 of these swimming pools!!
@Okabe_Rintaro_ i dont care of evil or good aliens, i prefer good, but i just need to know if we are truly the only ones Edit: good or evil all depends on ethical teaching.
Ben from MacroRoom?! Amazing! Thanks so much, I love your videos, I’ve always been obsessed with super slow motion and your creative approaches to the videos are so clever
Your videos are incredible and really helpful in allowing me to understand scale. I can really see this channel growing to millions of subscribers, the love for your viewers and passion for your work really shows. God bless.
I literally dropped my tablet when I saw the pools filled with galaxies. Omg, imagine the living beings and exotic worlds, animals and knowledge there is out there.😢 It fills you with awe and humility!
I genuinely feel on the verge of tears whenever I watch one of your videos. It's like a feeling of pressure in the blood vessels in my face and brain that makes me want to break out of the shackles my mind imposes on comprehension and just float in enlightenment for things we can't even begin to perceive. It's beautiful. Thank you, as always. ❤
Being an astro-fan boy I knew these concepts in words...but oh man you have an incredible talent for making them an image in my mind. Thank you. Kindest regards from Scotland.
I misread "astro-fan boy" as "Astro Boy fan" and it made me flash back to the 2003 anime series episode where Astro meets an alien after receiving a sort of "help" signal that only he could hear, and it shows him beyond what his civilization knows, then thanks him for his kindness and says they will meet again.
This is an amazing way to visualize space. I was already aware that there are billions of galaxies out there, but to see it visualized like this gives me a better perspective of just how immense and amazing it is. Thank you.
Simply mesmerizing! I also can't get over the fact that it takes light 93 billion years to travel across the universe, and if you were going that speed, the trip would seem instantaneous from your perspective.
Observable universe. Also it's now literally impossible for light to ever get from one side to the other as the expansion of the universe is now faster than light speed alone
As an apassionate 13 yrs old graphics designer and little astronomer this completely slaps!! You did an amazing job on all your content i'll be here to watch everything!!!!
@@EpicSpaceman Goodie then!! I'd love you to see my silly works when they come into light i'm just making my cute agents series and i took a lot of quality inspiration on your work :)
I saw your video for the first time, and I liked it, subscribed, turned on notifications for future videos, and shared it with my colleagues. Then, I went on to watch all your previous videos. I love your work, Boss. I appreciate the hard work you put into making these videos. They are amazing.
Absolute Cinema🎥been here since channel had under 2k subscribers and it feels really awesome that you are getting all the love and recognition, respect that you deserve
I was there too. I was blown away my the very first two videos, but not as blown away as I was by the fact that he had four-digit subscribers. Genuinely some of the most impressive content I've seen in visual media *ever*, let alone mere UA-cam. Epic Spaceman should be playing in classrooms across the world as part of formal curriculum, not just "the cool teachers".
@@Deviationism that’s exactly what i thought -about the classroom thing. every person should let their near ones watch these videos this is one gem of a channel
You scare me so much. With your simple, innovative and ingenious way to make me see what my little mind can't fathom what the universe is, how enormous and small we are. You, sir are a genius and I have the utmost respect for you. For humanity, please continue.
This made me see life in a whole new light. After realizing how small we are , It made me stop taking things so seriously. Just seeing things from such a broad perspective gave me a sense of relief. I don’t even know how to explain it but I’m glad he was able to put the universe into a perspective that we all can understand
11:30 I don't know why this isn't common knowledge, that just completely IGNITED my curiosity and drive to explore, I haven't felt this romantic wonder and determination for a long time.
How wonderful, thank you! I think there’s lots of amazing things in science that make me say ‘wow, I really feel like everyone should know this’ and that’s a big part of why I make these videos
@@EpicSpacemanthank you for reigniting my child like curiosity again… this felt so good to think of. We are so lucky to even be able to see and observe these endless galaxies… there is absolutely no way there isn’t life, and I feel I can say that confidently for the first time. Fermi paradox my ass, there is life. The odds are stacked against life not existing outside of earth.
I do disagree with you on 1 thing: To say that this channel plays an important part in helping people better understand the universe and do so in a very unique and interesting way. That.. might just be the biggest understatement ever! Looking forward to your next video!
It's just mind boggling to know that in our galaxy alone there are 11 billion planets like earth... So I think there must be life out there somewhere in the vast desert of this unimaginable universe😮
universe? try couple light years. every galaxy alone probably has over a million species of life conscious or just microbial. we just haven’t discovered anybody yet.
I just did the math with Chatgpt, based off of the Hubble Deep Field, and... if you hold your hand out at arms length, there are about 75,000 -90,000 galaxies in the size of your thumbnail.
Nice! This is why it looks like cloud, the ‘resolution’ of our eyes can’t handle 80,000 dots in such a small space, it will even itself out into relatively uniform ‘pixels’
Fun fact: 9:01 the color of the sky here is called "cosmic latte." It was the result of astronomers at John Hopkins University averaging together the colors of all galaxies and stars and nebulas in the sky, so it really is the exact color the sky would be if there was no darkness.
Isn't this a more modern take on Olbers' Paradox? Why isn't the night sky evenly lit by the countless numbers of stars out there? Well, the sky is indeed lit by countless stars, gathered in virtually countless galaxies, if we would care to actually have them illuminate our means of observation.
Thank you for this video! This is AWESOME and mind-blowing to see the scale described, organized, and animated in such a clear and entertaining way. I seriously appreciate it lol
I wonder why such a informative channel has only 300k subscribers. Infact it's even more intriguing than number of galaxies in observable universe. I wish more and more subscribe to the channel.
He's not playing the game properly. Needs some conspiracy theories, say that Neil deGrasse Tyson is terrified of what the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us of this, etc.
Yes! That was the scene where my brain went, "................................................................................................................................................................................. riiiiiiiiiighhhhht"

Happy happy happy your back mate, 72 year young retired electronics engineer, part time sad astrologist and useless mathematician, and I have to say your videos are so enlightening. I have forwarded all of your vids to every one I know. Please stay around for the planets sake.🦘🇦🇺👍🏼
I have autism and am absolutely obsessed with space. This is the first time I could conceptualize the galaxies and I almost cried. Thank you so much for animating this. Your videos are now my most favorite thing in the universe. I appreciate how long this video must have taken to make, let alone all your channel. You have a subscriber for life.
The number of stars in the universe vastly outnumber the amount of seconds that have passed since the beginning of time.
抱抱你
That's awesome! Realy happy for you that you found this video 😁
Please keep these up! I love sharing them with my friends and family.
the 355 swimming pool reveal destroyed me, and I already know a good bit about astronomy
It's one thing to know the number in an intellectual way, billions and trillions, but to see those numbers displayed in such a visceral relatable way makes all the difference for many of us. He did a great job of doing that.
@@Stewkers I was thinking “oh yeah the pool will be filled that makes sense” then the reveal hit lmao I was not ready
@@gravitygames4495and he didn't mention inter galactic space between galaxies .
Its still much bigger than 355 pools
He did though. He said the distance between our Milky Way and our nearest galactical neighbour on that scale was a ruler length which is about 300mm. That's why he just poured them on top of each other because even with the space between removed it's still mind boggling. That's kinda the whole point he was illustrating. Thanks for your help though.
Yeah, same here. These 355 pools left me speechless. Holy sh*t, our complete existence is waaaaaaayyyy less than nothing! You have to deal with it. Very grounding. Thank you. 😉
It made me so happy to hear the Planetary Society sponsored you. Youre on track to being the new Cosmos, and UA-cam and its community absolutely needs that. Dont burn yourself out, look forward to seeing your channel/vision grow!
Now this is a thought… Sagan would be pleased!
The planetary society sponsoring this video is absolutely MASSIVE. You’ve come a long way brother. Keep up the incredible work please
Thank you! I was really chuffed about that, appreciate your support , cheers!
Chuffed to bits
You seriously make some of the best content there is (can u do a magic school bus/ inside our body type video?)
It fascinates me that when we look around & see all of this complexity throughout the Universe. This complexity basically comes from: ~{"Differences"}~ Differences seem to be a key factor to keep dynamic systems functioning. Just look at: *{High pressure/low pressure, hot/cold temperatures, different densities, viscosities, turbulent flow, static electric charges/discharges, +/- electromagnetism, different frequencies of photon's, different velocity/angular momentum, different amounts of energy/mass/vibrations. Different boundary layers between different regions such as: (Land/water/air/layers of the atmosphere/space/ the different regions in space with different particle density/background radiation, solar wind/membrane layers/bubble's/surface tension/cloud regions, nebula's/Galaxy's/Galaxy clusters/ Cosmic filaments/less dense regions of space compared to dense regions of space.) All of these things are basic differences but create a way for the dynamic engine with-in Nature to continue flowing and operating to create and convert energy.} Just Like How a battery 🔋 transfers + charges through a membrane layer to a - charged side. Like how regions of high/low temperature 🌡️ create winds. In water- add some factors and It creates ocean currents and flow. Then internally inside our planet it creates plate tectonics, planetary convection, geothermal activity, a magnetic field around our planet, to hold a atmosphere. The list goes on
🧲🌡️📡🔆☢️🔌🔊🔋♻️🌐☯️⚛️
The natural world around us is utterly facinating.
He's back and he's brought some galaxies.
I may have brought them ALL…
"When the squad roll up to the after"
He's also brought some delicious cereal
"some" galaxies 😂
Opening line to my book.
Wow. Just, wow. The final visualization really brings it all home. Some people feel nihilistic dread when confronted by the enormity of the universe. I feel hope and awe.
Same, some scifi writers may think of aliens as hostile but I say so what? With so many galaxies out there, there may well be more species of them than bacteria in our own oceans, with highly diversified forms, biology, and psychology. Some of them being hostile doesn't cancel out the sheer possibility and beauty of it.
I feel nihilistic optimism.
@@AidanRatnage was just about to make that comment.
Cosmologist here. Beautiful video; thanks for sharing!
At 8:52 I was *really* hoping we'd be able to see the cosmic web at this point; I think you really missed out on a golden opportunity there to talk about the structure of galaxies out there. It's not just white noise; there's a *structure* to the galaxies we see on the sky!! They look like a vast, neural network, something akin to a brain or a sponge. Would've been cool to see, but I get that would've been immensly more work to program up.
Thanks! You can see some of the web in the 10km sphere as I’m flying through it, branching and flowing, however I don’t think you’d see any of it at the end of the video. The Universe (as I understand it) is quite uniform when viewed in totality, especially in the visible light spectrum when dark matter isn’t highlighted, you’re right that you might see a little bit of the ‘webiness ’ as the zoom starts and you sort of see that as a noise pattern but it soon disappears to be lost in sea of low resolution when viewed as a human, where thousands of galaxies of the deep field is only a couple of cones or ‘pixels’ of our eye in visual acuity. Glad you enjoyed it otherwise and keep up the amazing work!
Yes the threads
The universe is a big brain 🧠
@@EpicSpaceman But looking at images you'd get when searching for "Galaxy filament" it is not uniform. It seems to me that depending on where you look you could be looking at a big cluster (with even more overlapping galaxies than in the Deep Space photos) or a relatively empty area (with, perhaps, less), so you'd get different densities of galaxies and thus levels of brightness in the sky, making the light vary in threads instead of looking like an uniform cloudy day. Right?
The question is how big and how many filaments there are, or whether the areas humanity imaged happened to be areas with less or more density. I'm not an astronomer so I have no idea of how close we are at answering these questions. But it'd be awesome to see that approximated in the simulation, making a new skybox based on one of those filament images where you superimpose more deep space galaxies in the brighter areas and (perhaps) spread them apart in the darker areas.
This could be confidently simulated if we had deep space photos of half the sky. Some day!
Also, congratulations on the _incredible_ quality of videos you consistently produce. I haven't seen anyone come close!
Once you believe you understand how big the universe is, there’s always another example that blows your mind, reminding you that you can *pretend* to have an idea of its scale, but you can never truly comprehend it.
I've seen countless videos about the universe and our existence and by this point I feel like I've seen it all and nothing can really impress me anymore, but this blows my mind and makes me feel like a kid again.
How wonderful, thank you! That’s really the ultimate compliment for me, helping people get to that feeling of child-like awe that’s hard to find as we get older
💯
Believe it or not, I cried, seeing how beautiful the universe is
How wonderful! So pleased it could do that for you
Ive cried too.
@@EpicSpacemanI cannot wait for the next one, even if it takes 6months! Magnetars this time ❤😋
It's like becoming a kid again! 👍
I teared up a little when you panned out and showed us not one, but 300 swimming pools. It’s just overwhelming.
I expected the one pool getting filled up but when you showed the actual number of pools needed I got tears in my eyes. I knew about the 200 billion galaxies but you made me feel that number and it is overwhelming.
Thank you! It’s really important to me that the numbers make sense and can be tangible because as soon as you get into millions and billions they lose all meaning to me normally
@@EpicSpacemanHello, really appreciate your job. Don't you think it's just impossible that we're only one in the universe? I think till year 2500, we will find thousands of signs of life out there.
@@EpicSpaceman and you nailed it. most people including me, have a hard time understanding what a billion means.For example, if you make 100K $/€ per year (which is pretty much. for me at least) and save it all. (no interests blabla) you have a million $/€ in 10 years. pretty nice huh. But it takes you 10000 years to make a billion. Now take that times 200 ;-) Awesome videos E>
@@kvarnerinfoTV you are not very bright are you?
@@kvarnerinfoTV he literally mentions that in the video, if you actually watched it you would understand lol
I am amazed by the quality of graphics and information I can access for free. Thank you ❤
Quality of explanation paired with the same quality of visuals. This channel is a rare gem on youtube.
I feel like we are witnessing the heir to Carl Sagan right before our eyes. Your ability to communicate science through analogy and art is stunning.
I'm 38. I first watched Carl Sagan when I was in community college. I saw an episode of Cosmos in my basement. I was so fascinated not only by all the unbelievable things he was showing me, but the way he made my brain stretch to see the beauty and wonder in the universe. I watched all the rest of the episodes, then read every book he had ever written, watched every video I could find of him and of the people who knew him, such as his wife Ann Druyan. I get that same feeling when I watch your videos. I can definitely see the influence of Carl Sagan in your videos and your thinking. Thanks for being so awesome.
Hard to put into words how unbelievably fascinating this video is. The dimensions of the universe are so hard to understand. You just solved that problem.
Thank you! So pleased you felt it got you there.
This is the greatest production I've seen in my life..... Wow
Thank you so much!
So cool hi
At just over 4 minutes in, I was thinking, "Bravo! This was a great video!" And then after another 11 minutes, I was like, "What I thought before was, perhaps, the greatest understatement I could say about anything."
Thank you! This was an awesome comment to read, I'm so pleased that you felt the video got even better after that first 'reveal', makes all the effort worth it
@@EpicSpaceman I appreciate the reply! And I definitely appreciate your effort. Every scene was packed. Just the pool scene was enough to impress me...and that was just a small part of the whole! (And I know there's so much I didn't notice, which also required effort.) Thanks again! 👍
This has to be one of the best channels available on UA-cam. Simply extremely good.
Hands down one of the best UA-cam videos I've ever witnessed
I don't have the words ... this is Art , Poetry , Science , Talent , Knowledge ...
Um I think that’s a couple words
Man, never stop making these. You literally made me cry
It's such a great pleasure to live in an era like this, where we know all of these stuff. And where we have wonderful people like you.
Just thinking, of people saying there are no aliens,
Man with this video it just confirms that there is alien life, statistically speaking!!
Maybe not in our galaxy, but in 1 of these swimming pools!!
@@Felix-Memoria. Maybe one day, they'll reach us (assuming there is a way to do faster than light travel)
@Okabe_Rintaro_ i dont care of evil or good aliens, i prefer good, but i just need to know if we are truly the only ones
Edit: good or evil all depends on ethical teaching.
>You literally made me cry

Beautiful and fascinating as always!
Ben from MacroRoom?! Amazing! Thanks so much, I love your videos, I’ve always been obsessed with super slow motion and your creative approaches to the videos are so clever
Just like your work MacroRoom! Your videos are stunning too
I think this is the BEST and CREATIVE youtube channel I've ever seen in 10 years.
This is hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen about the scale of our observable universe on YT
That camera shot at 1:15 woah
Thanks!
The level of the animations in this video make it worthy a whole Netflix series
Thanks so much, maybe one day!
the cgi and simulation work you have done here is truely inspiring
Outclassing some full on space documentaries with this production value... Wish I could subscribe twice!
Thank you! Appreciate the sub and supportive words
Your videos are incredible and really helpful in allowing me to understand scale. I can really see this channel growing to millions of subscribers, the love for your viewers and passion for your work really shows. God bless.
I literally dropped my tablet when I saw the pools filled with galaxies.
Omg, imagine the living beings and exotic worlds, animals and knowledge there is out there.😢
It fills you with awe and humility!
Got goosebumps several times. Extremely well done. Thank you good Sir.
Superlatives aren't enough. Truly awe inspiring. Thank you.
I genuinely feel on the verge of tears whenever I watch one of your videos. It's like a feeling of pressure in the blood vessels in my face and brain that makes me want to break out of the shackles my mind imposes on comprehension and just float in enlightenment for things we can't even begin to perceive. It's beautiful. Thank you, as always. ❤
Being an astro-fan boy I knew these concepts in words...but oh man you have an incredible talent for making them an image in my mind. Thank you. Kindest regards from Scotland.
Thank you! It's always good to hear from people who know the numbers and found the visualisations helpful
I misread "astro-fan boy" as "Astro Boy fan" and it made me flash back to the 2003 anime series episode where Astro meets an alien after receiving a sort of "help" signal that only he could hear, and it shows him beyond what his civilization knows, then thanks him for his kindness and says they will meet again.
My God, this is one of the best channels on UA-cam. It's so awe inspiring, educational, peaceful and satisfying watching your videos.
Thanks so much! In an ideal world those are all the things I try to achieve with them so your comment is really appreciated!
The best channel on UA-cam. Hands down.
This is an amazing way to visualize space. I was already aware that there are billions of galaxies out there, but to see it visualized like this gives me a better perspective of just how immense and amazing it is. Thank you.
Simply mesmerizing! I also can't get over the fact that it takes light 93 billion years to travel across the universe, and if you were going that speed, the trip would seem instantaneous from your perspective.
Observable universe. Also it's now literally impossible for light to ever get from one side to the other as the expansion of the universe is now faster than light speed alone
@@JB_inks Great point!
9:48 was insane. Earned a new sub
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the sub too!
The sheer amount of effort put into this video is incredible. This is the true best of UA-cam content. Can't wait to see the next of Epic Spaceman
I love this channel so much - switching off the night sky in Antarctica actually gave me goosebumps! Thank you!
Amazing! The ultimate goal for me, glad it worked for you!
As an apassionate 13 yrs old graphics designer and little astronomer this completely slaps!!
You did an amazing job on all your content i'll be here to watch everything!!!!
Amazing! Thanks for being here and good luck in everything that you do, sounds like you’ve already got some great passions and interests
@@EpicSpaceman Goodie then!! I'd love you to see my silly works when they come into light i'm just making my cute agents series and i took a lot of quality inspiration on your work :)
His voice modulation gives the sense of importance about the point he is putting forth. It is simply beautiful. Everything.
I was a part of this premiere. I'm blown away at the sheer quality and information that goes into these videos. This is truly awesome.
Thanks for being here!
10:53 Love how you depicted Agnes & Sophia. Very considerate of you. Love how you take care of minute details like this.
3:39 Half the production cost undoubtedly went into this jump into the pool scene
I saw your video for the first time, and I liked it, subscribed, turned on notifications for future videos, and shared it with my colleagues. Then, I went on to watch all your previous videos. I love your work, Boss. I appreciate the hard work you put into making these videos. They are amazing.
Thank you! Really appreciate all the different ways you’ve supported me there and I’m so pleased you’re enjoying my videos!
Absolute Cinema🎥been here since channel had under 2k subscribers and it feels really awesome that you are getting all the love and recognition, respect that you deserve
Amazing! Great to have you since back then, which amazingly was probably only last year, it’s been a whirlwind!
I was there too. I was blown away my the very first two videos, but not as blown away as I was by the fact that he had four-digit subscribers. Genuinely some of the most impressive content I've seen in visual media *ever*, let alone mere UA-cam. Epic Spaceman should be playing in classrooms across the world as part of formal curriculum, not just "the cool teachers".
@@Deviationism that’s exactly what i thought -about the classroom thing. every person should let their near ones watch these videos this is one gem of a channel
I wish all your viewers were gathered in one place so you could hear our resounding applause.
You scare me so much. With your simple, innovative and ingenious way to make me see what my little mind can't fathom what the universe is, how enormous and small we are. You, sir are a genius and I have the utmost respect for you. For humanity, please continue.
This made me see life in a whole new light. After realizing how small we are , It made me stop taking things so seriously. Just seeing things from such a broad perspective gave me a sense of relief. I don’t even know how to explain it but I’m glad he was able to put the universe into a perspective that we all can understand
still doesnt make any sense, man
I thought my mind was already boggled, and then I watch Epic Spaceman and I realise it wasn't, but it sure is now.
Glad I could help with the boggling!
I would love to be able to sit beside you and watch how you make your videos. Absolutely amazing, literally the best channel on UA-cam.
Thank you! I’ll do a bit more of a making-of at some point soon
That last shot of showing all the galaxies in the sky blew my mind.
1:55 True reason: Rendertime 😂😂😂😂
Haha! Also probably true!
He should have put the pools on Titanics
You're the spacetime GOAT.
The production quality is out of this world
I'm so happy this channel exists
Me too! I’m loving making these videos and hearing from people enjoying them, thank you
When you showed there was more than one swimming pool, it completely blew my mind! Thank you!
11:30 I don't know why this isn't common knowledge, that just completely IGNITED my curiosity and drive to explore, I haven't felt this romantic wonder and determination for a long time.
How wonderful, thank you! I think there’s lots of amazing things in science that make me say ‘wow, I really feel like everyone should know this’ and that’s a big part of why I make these videos
@@EpicSpacemanthank you for reigniting my child like curiosity again… this felt so good to think of. We are so lucky to even be able to see and observe these endless galaxies… there is absolutely no way there isn’t life, and I feel I can say that confidently for the first time. Fermi paradox my ass, there is life. The odds are stacked against life not existing outside of earth.
This is my favorite video on UA-cam. I love your videos man, thank you for your work.
I do disagree with you on 1 thing:
To say that this channel plays an important part in helping people better understand the universe and do so in a very unique and interesting way.
That.. might just be the biggest understatement ever!
Looking forward to your next video!
It's just mind boggling to know that in our galaxy alone there are 11 billion planets like earth... So I think there must be life out there somewhere in the vast desert of this unimaginable universe😮
And that's just an estimate.
Y’all will believe that but not God. Lmao
@@gabrielmerklin Shut your mouth hole and better go pray to your magical sky daddy
@@gabrielmerklin Wdym?
universe? try couple light years. every galaxy alone probably has over a million species of life conscious or just microbial. we just haven’t discovered anybody yet.
i check your page on the regular to see if there's new videos, so excited!
Great to have you here, I hope you enjoy!
Just Wow! Never saw something like this on youtube. Great imagination, storyboarding and VFX
I just did the math with Chatgpt, based off of the Hubble Deep Field, and...
if you hold your hand out at arms length, there are about 75,000 -90,000 galaxies in the size of your thumbnail.
Nice! This is why it looks like cloud, the ‘resolution’ of our eyes can’t handle 80,000 dots in such a small space, it will even itself out into relatively uniform ‘pixels’
@@EpicSpacemandefinitely a 4k has not enough pixels to put that on.
13:05 Great! Your body heat just DESTROYED the JWST! I hope you're proud of yourself.
Haha yeah I totally messed up a lot of JWST and Hubble imagery and hardware stomping around! I promise to fix it all!

No words to express the appreciation for this opera you created. Simply Extraordinary... no words. Only "thanks" can maybe fit the purpose. Cheers
Fun fact: 9:01 the color of the sky here is called "cosmic latte." It was the result of astronomers at John Hopkins University averaging together the colors of all galaxies and stars and nebulas in the sky, so it really is the exact color the sky would be if there was no darkness.
Isn't this a more modern take on Olbers' Paradox? Why isn't the night sky evenly lit by the countless numbers of stars out there? Well, the sky is indeed lit by countless stars, gathered in virtually countless galaxies, if we would care to actually have them illuminate our means of observation.
Fun side fact, it was miscalculated to be a pale turquoise at first.
3:20 there's no way in hell we are the only sentient(capable of introspection) beings in the universe...
Calling us capable is an overstatement
The fact that they want nothing to do with humans proves your point.
Always a pleasure to see your work.
Thank you for helping my small brain grow
Thanks for the kind words, any brain that wants to grow is a smart brain 🧠
Thank you for this video! This is AWESOME and mind-blowing to see the scale described, organized, and animated in such a clear and entertaining way. I seriously appreciate it lol
3:29 That one donut guy tutorial must have come in handy
I was thinking the same haha
Andrew Price, the donut king
I wonder why such a informative channel has only 300k subscribers. Infact it's even more intriguing than number of galaxies in observable universe. I wish more and more subscribe to the channel.
He's not playing the game properly. Needs some conspiracy theories, say that Neil deGrasse Tyson is terrified of what the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us of this, etc.
