As a teacher, I use UA-cam nearly every day. Whenever we log on, my students always make me check the notifications for a new Epic Spaceman video! They all shouted and cheered today when we watched this new one! Your videos are truly amazing, educational, and SUPER informative in a way that makes learning the complexities of space seem so simple and easy to understand. Your videos are so polished and crazy professional. On behalf of my students, PLEASE keep them coming!!
My mind was already blown with the one pool until you panned out showing many more full pools. The universe is incomprehensible in scale and your videos are entertaining and informative. Thank you!
you couldn't get anyone to convince me otherwise when i say you're one of the better teachers i've seen in any youtube comments section, keep up your fantastic efforts
Except, the universe is expanding so quickly that we probably will never be able to leave our current galaxy, ever. Space will expand until everything is moving away faster than the speed of light.
Thank you! Really appreciate the support here and I'm so pleased to here you've been sharing them with friends and family, I hope they've enjoyed it too!
These videos never fail to give me chills, you are destined for greatness. As only a 2D editor, I cannot even fathom how much time and effort is being put into these videos. These are truly passion projects. These videos bring out the kid in me.
Thanks so much for the kindness here as well as the super supportive words! Definitely lots of work but worth it when people like yourself enjoy them so much.

Thanks so much! That's super kind of you to say, honestly comments like this motivate me so much to keep trying to make the channel as special as I can.
Dude, you are immensely talented. I’ve been into space/cosmology for a long time, and it’s abundantly clear you take the time to actually learn the information. You present it succinctly and thoroughly, and don’t make bold or personal metaphysical claims. Seems you aim simply to educate and amaze, and you accomplish that to an amazing degree. Genuinely, thank you.
What a wonderful comment, thanks for taking the time! I'm really pleased you noticed the work put in to get things right, it's really important to me to make them as accurate as I can and find ways to share things that anyone can understand regardless of background. They take me a while to make and I think the harder you work on something, the more you want to be doing it the right way, in all walks of life.
@@EpicSpaceman Well man, anyone who actually watches could see you put in a lot of hard work. Animation alone takes a long time. I subbed quite some time ago, and was wondering if you had just stopped. After seeing how long it takes, I'm not surprised. Keep it up!

I'm trying to imagine him measuring the displacement of one bag of cereal, then counting all the pieces inside that bag, then scaling that volume and density to a relatable unit of size.
I don't know why but showing the dim light that surrounds everything made me so hopeful and emotional. Even in what we perceive as the darkest of dark we are still completely surrounded by the glow of our reality, a glow our sun contributes to, playing a tiny role in a great tapestry of practically infinite scale.
As a filmmaker and editor who spends a couple of hours each day on UA-cam learning new things, I just have to say your channel has totally blown me away!

@@EpicSpaceman what's so inspiring about it is that it's totally the opposite of so many youtube content creators who churn things out daily to win some algorithm battle. In contrast to that, where the content feels hastily assembled, the videos of Epic Spaceman feel like time well spent. They only drop once in a long while, but they are totally enriching. I wish more content creators would do that rhythm - imagine how rich youtube would be?

@@EpicSpaceman Man don’t worry about it, I’ll take quality like this over quantity any day. I watched your biography video and was shocked to learn that you’re actually a photographer and not a VFX expert. From these videos it genuinely looks like you’ve been doing this as your day job all your life! Big motion picture studios don’t put out this kind of quality. Thank you for taking the time to respond, and once again pleaseeee keep it up👏👏
I'm a VFX artist in the industry, this is my first video of yours and it's incredible! Stunning results, so impressive. As someone who's been searching for the feeling of epic-ness most of his life, I reckon if you got a sound designer on board à la melodysheep your videos could become truly gobsmacking. I want to see it so badly, please make it happen!
Thank you! Always wonderful when people in the industry are enjoying the graphics as I'm still learning so much in that area. I'm totally with you on the sound, am getting someone to do just that on the next video so that will hopefully help! Thanks again for the kind words
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.
I'm so pleased I could have helped a little here, visualising numbers in some way really helps me understand the scale and I'm so happy it could help you too. Great to have you here!
I found this video via a tweet from MKBHD. To say my mind was blown is an understatement of the highest magnitude. I 100% knew I was going to be a new subscriber almost immediately!!! This video is beyond incredible, and you should have more subscribers than you already have!!!
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!
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.
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.
What an absolutely amazing video. I've always loved space since I was a child, yet it's still as fun to learn about today as an adult. Thank you for putting the universe into such an understandable scale that even a child could understand. 10/10, the best video of 2024. This should have like 20 million views instead of 2 million!
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'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
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!
@@agustinlado Thanks! It's a tricky one, generally (as I understand it) all the nice galaxy filament images out there are dark matter 'images', it's not always highlighted so but that's what I seemed to find. On the small scale zooming out a little from say the deep field, you might see some concentrations and threads but they overwhelm each other as the scale becomes bigger I think and just become a sea of grey quite quickly. Even if there are patches of darkness and slightly brighter parts, they melt into the 'pixels' of our eyes, like looking at the Mona Lisa from a mile away, it's just one brown dot to our eyes and the detail is gone. I'm happy to be wrong though!
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.
This was a wonderful comment to read, thank you! He's inspired so many and I'm lucky enough to be one of them. So pleased you felt a little of that with my videos too as I've always been so happy when I've read or watched anything that helped change my perspective on things or feel some of that sense of wonder.
That's incredibly kind, thank you, I'd never like to compare myself to him because we're worlds apart but I like to think he'd be pleased that he's inspired anyone to help make science more accessible.
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! 👍
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.
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.
Amazing video. Thank you. I showed my son and tried to explain just how far human knowledge has come since I was a child his age and was taught we had only thousands of galaxies... The conversation we had was very special to me and I wish you all who worked to make this video could know that it made me very happy to see my son's eyes widen as he grasped the size of our universe... Truly the best is yet to come, and we have only just begun to realize what's possible.
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
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. ❤
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.
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!
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 :)
This video is an absolute work of art. This needs to win an award. My brain is so overloaded. This is by far the best way to really try to understand how huge the universe is. Amazing work. Everything in this video is perfect. And while my mind is so flabbergasted watching this video, I, ironically, I found it so calming. I will support this work.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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!
Amazing is a very small word to describe this video. The level of quality, information, narrating style and score...everything is just beyond incredible. Thank you so much Epic Spaceman, you deserve all the subscribers in this universe
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.
@9:06 made me cry with some spiritual calling of sorts, I felt so much love and bliss... thanks for makeing this video; one of the 3 bests I have ever experienced in my life.
WOW.. What an amazing video! You DEFINITELY deserve more subscribers and views. I don't even want to know how much effort you put in one of these videos. Just amazing.
When i clicked the thumbnail, my plan was to get the brief idea about this and end the watch in 5 min or less. But now, i'm watching this over and over again😅 everything about this video is just PERFECT. I think you were able to bring back my space enthusiastic persona that was buried by all those garbage fb,insta and yt videos long time ago........... THANK YOU 🖤
Answering all my questions. Love this side of youtube. It's amazing how much I've longed for this exact style of teaching all my life and now it's here. Just incredible work.
How could I not be subscribed to this amazing channel? As a space enthusiast, this is probably the most exciting video I have seen to understand the vastness of space and the observable universe. Great job!
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

Thank you! So pleased that you enjoyed them all, sorry there aren’t more, they take me ages to make and I only started making my then a couple of years ago, always trying to find ways to make them faster!
Just because something is small , doesn’t mean it’s not very important.
@@A.X.76that's not what my ex said lmao😂😂😂😂
@@EpicSpaceman Man don’t worry about it, I’ll take quality like this over quantity any day. I watched your biography video and was shocked to learn that you’re actually a photographer and not a VFX expert. From these videos it genuinely looks like you’ve been doing this as your day job all your life! Big motion picture studios don’t put out this kind of quality. Thank you for taking the time to respond, and once again pleaseeee keep it up👏👏
Bout to do the same thing. No hoarding this content
I'm a VFX artist in the industry, this is my first video of yours and it's incredible! Stunning results, so impressive. As someone who's been searching for the feeling of epic-ness most of his life, I reckon if you got a sound designer on board à la melodysheep your videos could become truly gobsmacking. I want to see it so badly, please make it happen!
Thank you! Always wonderful when people in the industry are enjoying the graphics as I'm still learning so much in that area. I'm totally with you on the sound, am getting someone to do just that on the next video so that will hopefully help! Thanks again for the kind words
Beautiful. Most worthwhile creator I have ever supported on Patreon.
Thanks you legend! So pleased you enjoyoed it
how many have you supported?
Leminno?
@@MrJaywalk Just a few. About fifteen over the years I believe.
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 😁
I'm so pleased I could have helped a little here, visualising numbers in some way really helps me understand the scale and I'm so happy it could help you too. Great to have you here!
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
I found this video via a tweet from MKBHD. To say my mind was blown is an understatement of the highest magnitude. I 100% knew I was going to be a new subscriber almost immediately!!! This video is beyond incredible, and you should have more subscribers than you already have!!!
Thank you! He’s been super kind to share on Instagram and Twitter, I just found out, great to have you here as a new sub!
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!
This 15min video has more production value than most Hollywood movies nowadays.
Thank you! That’s very kind
@@EpicSpaceman Pretty epic. More videos please!

@@EpicSpacemancan I know how many days of work is this and how much time did it take to render
Such a clear presentation of the incomprehensibly vast universe and it's galaxies...
Thank you!
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.
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.
What an absolutely amazing video. I've always loved space since I was a child, yet it's still as fun to learn about today as an adult.
Thank you for putting the universe into such an understandable scale that even a child could understand. 10/10, the best video of 2024. This should have like 20 million views instead of 2 million!
9:30 “…you are wrapped in the light of hundreds of billions of galaxies.”
This segment made me unexpectedly emotional.
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'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 am so blown away by how epic this is.
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!
@@agustinlado Thanks! It's a tricky one, generally (as I understand it) all the nice galaxy filament images out there are dark matter 'images', it's not always highlighted so but that's what I seemed to find. On the small scale zooming out a little from say the deep field, you might see some concentrations and threads but they overwhelm each other as the scale becomes bigger I think and just become a sea of grey quite quickly. Even if there are patches of darkness and slightly brighter parts, they melt into the 'pixels' of our eyes, like looking at the Mona Lisa from a mile away, it's just one brown dot to our eyes and the detail is gone. I'm happy to be wrong though!
Quality of explanation paired with the same quality of visuals. This channel is a rare gem on youtube.
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.
Amazing work man, Love you❤️
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.
This was a wonderful comment to read, thank you! He's inspired so many and I'm lucky enough to be one of them. So pleased you felt a little of that with my videos too as I've always been so happy when I've read or watched anything that helped change my perspective on things or feel some of that sense of wonder.
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.
That's incredibly kind, thank you, I'd never like to compare myself to him because we're worlds apart but I like to think he'd be pleased that he's inspired anyone to help make science more accessible.
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! 👍
Thanks!🚀
This is the greatest production I've seen in my life..... Wow
Thank you so much!
So cool hi

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.
This has to be one of the best channels available on UA-cam. Simply extremely good.
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.

This is hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen about the scale of our observable universe on YT
Amazing video.
Thank you.
I showed my son and tried to explain just how far human knowledge has come since I was a child his age and was taught we had only thousands of galaxies...
The conversation we had was very special to me and I wish you all who worked to make this video could know that it made me very happy to see my son's eyes widen as he grasped the size of our universe...
Truly the best is yet to come, and we have only just begun to realize what's possible.
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
The best channel on UA-cam. Hands down.
The level of the animations in this video make it worthy a whole Netflix series
Thanks so much, maybe one day!
I found this channel 2 yrs ago, and I still say that there is no content creator that doesn't even come close to this guy's video masterpieces.
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!
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. ❤
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.
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!
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!
Superlatives aren't enough. Truly awe inspiring. Thank 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 :)
This is the best video I have watched in UA-cam so far. No joke.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the highest of praise there
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
Outclassing some full on space documentaries with this production value... Wish I could subscribe twice!
Thank you! Appreciate the sub and supportive words
This video is an absolute work of art. This needs to win an award. My brain is so overloaded. This is by far the best way to really try to understand how huge the universe is. Amazing work. Everything in this video is perfect. And while my mind is so flabbergasted watching this video, I, ironically, I found it so calming. I will support this work.
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
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.
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
God knows how many times I’ve watched this, still got shocked and awed at the same time every time I watch it
for real. its amazing to think about such vast creation, this all didnt happen by a big accident. are we not here for a reason?
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.
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!

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!
That camera shot at 1:15 woah
Thanks!
You're the spacetime GOAT.
Amazing is a very small word to describe this video. The level of quality, information, narrating style and score...everything is just beyond incredible. Thank you so much Epic Spaceman, you deserve all the subscribers in this universe
I'm so happy this channel exists
Me too! I’m loving making these videos and hearing from people enjoying them, thank you
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😮

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.
How could I not be subscribed to this amazing channel? As a space enthusiast, this is probably the most exciting video I have seen to understand the vastness of space and the observable universe. Great job!
Thanks so much! Great to have you here!
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 🧠
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!
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.
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
