Thank you for my daily dose of anxiety
*Time to have an existential crisis again!*
this reminds me the scene from "The Good Place' - [google "Ted Danson (The Good Place - Season 2)"]
It is easy to slip to a Nihilist mindset...
Ultimately tho it shouldn't matter if things we do throughout our life will exist or have any impact on the large time-scale of the Universe;
I think what matters is to stay true to yourself; genuinely trying to become the *best version of yourself* while sharing joy, respect & love towards others and the nature around us.
Happiness shouldn't come only from 'the slap on the back' as an external confirmation... but mainly from within -by feeling fulfilled and grateful for this opportunity that you & your ancestors & the whole damn universe made it possible for YOU to be right here and right now!
PS.: WHY TF DOES YT KEEP DELETING MY COMMENT????! (2x already)
@@mmarkusgaming There are so many replies, so I have decided to start at the beginning...Space-Time is a singularity in itself, Space-Time exist because they 'Do'
We try to place human limitations on space-time but the truth is, we cannot; we cannot understand things which we are not meant to understand.

HAHA me. I literally just got out of my mindset of “life is nothing” and then this comes up on my Spotify and I’m just like 🙃🙃🔪
I have followed Katie for nearly a decade, and this is oddly the first time I’ve heard her out loud. This was beautifully written and well-spoken. Thank you
Nice, keep it positive in these trying times, not causing any existential crises or anything...

The term death is very relative to us humans, to be honest there is no death. Only transformations and next cycle. And mostly THE UNIVERSE is still vaguely understood by Humans.
I like it. It’s a positivist and positive message and … we need a lot of it right now
I do agree with you,👍🏿
It's truth that Universe is gonna end up but, we should always know that every end is a gateway to the new beginning. That's why we should embrace and prepare our mind for whatever comes next. 😃
Well I won't be inviting Katie to the bbq at the weekend
HaHA! Good idea. 😆
Very interesting topic, thank you:)
So amazing! How beautiful the world really is ❤❤
I love the way this was done! ❤️
Well done, Katie! 👏🏽👏🏽
Beautiful!
I Must Have Missed Something In This Video...What Exactly Did She Do Or Say That Was So Profounded...
There is a beauty in understanding that life is finite - it gives it a purpose and a value; it is a gift we should live through in any way significant for ourselves. And as things probably don't matter in the end they matter to each of us, at this moment.
The fact we are not infinite and we may die one day yet never return removes the purpose of anything and everything. I’m not talking about what you do for this world or how you may be a hero to somebody, I’m talking about the fact that YOU won’t be conscious nor will you have memory of it if the end really is the end. There’s no reality without consciousness and there’s no consciousness without reality.
There is an answer, there is No Time..... only this eternal moment that never changes, it is always this moment. Turn your attention inward, something is even aware that the attention is turned inward. If only for a second you feel this quiet spaciousness.... a vastness beyond description. If you practice focusing on this silence, our conditioned minds begin to quieten, we begin to be absorbed into this vast silent spaciousness, Love, Peace and Bliss are its perfume. We are this silent spacious awareness. We were never born and can never die! There are many universes and there is Life that just is. All is well in the perfection of this play which ultimately goes beyond the mind! Much love to all....❤️❤️❤️
There is time and it's existence is proven in the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy. Of all the natural laws entropy is the only one that is absolute. You cannot unscramble an egg.
@@dsmyify ❤️
I appreciate so much how much of a poet you are, Katie
“We have an immense power to understand it (the cosmos)”. We understand the cosmos like an insect understands algebra - not at all. We think we’re smart and that we’re “exploring space” truth is we’ve never been in “space”. We circle the globe and come back. A few times, FIFTY YEARS AGO” we went to the moon. Going to my mailbox is more cosmically significant than anything we’ve ever done on a cosmic scale.
Fearing this end of the universe equals why the fish would fear the land if only this fish would know what fear is.
Only we can choose not to fear it because we are self-aware.
Thank you for describing this nihilistic point of view so beautifully. There is peace in the inevitable end of everything, and you gave people a way to embrace it.
Beautiful words Katie. I find it uplifting that we are here at all. Excellent 👌
Every time I watch video like this, my thanatophobia hit so hard, it's uncomfortable live know the end is real, I would rather not have learned about it in the past.
I enjoyed this and it got me to rethink on a few topics
TED×Anxiety.
I'm feeling down in the dumps. I know! A Ted talk should cheer me up...
reading the captions is like having 2 conversations at once
😂 yeah
Great concept
Really gave me the feels! ❤️
I think we can either create our own Universe, or we can skip to another Universe in early expansion. There are of course other possibilities, but I like these two. Technologies how to get there are currently unknown, but who knows what the future holds.
Technology will take u no where...
Enjoy and Contribute in this decaying Universe..

I believe that life continues until it doesn't. Breathe we can't completely be in the present in space.
That's a cool way to put it, you believe in reincarnation?
@@MajesticSoul17 Reincarnation is the most proven theological concept.

Eu estou amando seu livro
A real perspective changer, and an uplifting conclusion. She also has other UA-cam videos where she elaborates. Thank you, Katie Mack and TED.
The very idea of accepting such fate of the universe diminishes us from thinking what lies beyond what we can comprehend. Energy is never created nor destroyed, it just makes phase shifts. For this form of observable to exist , the matter itself had to work against the unobservable part of the universe. Think about a spark. And thats our reality. Very odd way to interpret it, but its no less than an visual explanation for plasma. We create versions of ourselves in dimensions that we can't even see, intaracting with the cosmos itself just by sheer chance. How wonderful sight to behold only with our imaginations (unless we put on effort to find it)
What a beautiful, complex person she is, she shines like one of the stars and galaxies she studies...
Speaking from the perspective of the cosmos: I like her, she gets me! Perhaps we could hang out.
@UA-cam May I know what happened to the subtitles which are not in sync with the speech?
random stuff; It'd be nice if vents were lined with that anti stick stuff (I can't remember the name, static related) to just keep dust floating on by for less fire hazards (dust build up). Edit: Why aren't vacuum space layered mirrors a norm yet??? To prevent fogging up
If there was beginning, this beginning could happen again. Simply Because it already did.
We could re-exist again after the death of our universe. Maybe human race did already exist in previous universes.
Not many people understand this...

اللهم اجعلنا نصنع علي عينك واهدنا سواء السبيل واجعلنا خير عبادك المخلصين المتقين المحسنين الصالحين

I'm crying bcoz im human for now on but in the future...No one knows
It does sound bleak. I mean, having in mind that us as individuals are temporary is quite sad, maybe joyful for a few. But knowing the whole existence, the whole universe is going to end at some point is also weird to grasp. It could be depressing but it also is freeing and so beyond our imagination and ability to comprehend that it doesn't see possible at all.
However, if anyone needs comfort, I like to think that we do live in a plane that is more than 3 dimensions, time is at least one more. And leaving a trace in the physical realm is not the only thing - we do experience time as heading forward but perhaps part of us will always remain in the history, living on the same moments in a different moment in time, the one that has passed as well as the one that we are still going to observe in the future. See, I'm using the word observe as perhaps it has already happened. And who knows, maybe after it all ends, it will come backwards, we don't know if time is an illusion rather than something real. What if everything is cyclical?
We all should Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see ourselves running with them.....
This is among the most unsettling things I've ever observed. This is deeply troubling and I wish I'd not watched this one.
How can something be loud if there isn't anybody there to hear it? @01:10
I think logically, if we die then we experience emptiness / unconsciousness, when a random infinite universe accidentally creates us physical body form that coincides with our current state now, then we will rise again and regain consciousness, and we unconsciousness will feel consciousness again in an instant moment, because the unconsciousness never knows or never realizes how much time has passed, even though our unconsciousness lasts for a very long time, for example millions of years or billions of years, maybe even trillions ... years, of unconsciousness will only be felt as an instant moment and conciousness again.
**starts watching Sagan to feel happy again**
The subtitles aren't in sync with the audio of the speech. Don't know if I'm the only one that has this problem.
Doing friendly everything and talking politely to each other around us results in benefits on our generations if death is inevitable.
I find the idea of the heat death of the universe comforting
So everything in the universe came from nothing, thus nothing is the potential for everything. So what's the worry?

I really don't think the bang was the beginning, just the earliest event we can see as of now. Who knows what will find further back in time, or further forward.
If something isn’t expanding, it’s collapsing. Entropy.
You are looking at things in one dimension my dear.
Katie, i really wanna understand more about the universe, and work with that, how I do?
Reading books and watching shows/documentaries and meditating?
@@OnusOfNous meditating? Can you elaborate? What does meditation have to do with the universe?
Nothing , no space, not even the darkness , can't imagine it?

Please the adjust the subtitles.
The way things are going, i'd be surprised if human beings are around in 200 years
One day the flames will fade, and only darkness will remain
Life goes on with or without the universe, obviously. I guess many trillions of years being "temporary" is the language of politicians.
Yess we humans are the only dumbest creatures living
No fear and no worries for all things are in our creators perfect timing.
They thought themselves wise yet they were fools.🙉🙊🙈 some things my dear are simply out of our hands no need to dread the unchangeable.
Indestructible souls in an decaying body of work...
No responsibilities, no worries, just wait for a god to make everything better is the way to go.
You're going to be mighty disappointed.
All plans already been made. No need to worry.
I don;t mind a beginning and an end, it's like life. But I cant help think that stuff out there can be a tad freaky compared to here on earth.....and maybe we might be around long enough to solve it. Jumping between multi-verses or the idea of the big bang coming from somewhere and not nothing..We MIGHT evolve so much we transcend all things physical and hop about like ethereal cosmic bunnies...
good morning to you ...
To early to draw conclusions. Let's find out where that cosmic slime came from in the first place. :D
Your Comment Is Absolutely Genius...With A Curve Of Common Sense And Logic...

As there 125 billion galaxies in our universe (estimated). There are likely billions of universes. If the human race learns to collectively work together and limit environmental destruction through science and engineering over the next few hundreds or thousands of years the human race may find a way to traverse universes. Anything is possible within a trillion years. I have faith in humanity.
Quem tem dificuldade de estudar, abri esse canal pra vocês ♥
we are insignificant? it takes this huge Universe to roll out in order for us to exist
You speak from the perspective of a scientist.It's not just logic that has to give us answers. People accomplish great things when they put logic aside and are guided by intuition. We are more than a physical body. We are energy that will never be lost. If you entered the spiritual world, you would probably understand that man is not just matter, but much more than that. Linear time exists only in material reality. The creator of the universe is something beyond the power of understanding the human being.
@@Dimitris_BalfI'm not selling anything, it's just my opinion. and you will live in vain !
There are ways to survive the universe form dying either we become advanced to stop the universe from dying or make your own universe or move to another universe.
If we even survive to that point. Humanity's fate is undecided. Only time will tell.

would the death implosive force of universe death bring us into a new reality or reimagined universe than which had come before. What are your thoughts n the moments of, during and after that event in it of itself¿ even if it repeats this event in my asking you

Slowly evaporating black holes surrounded by emptiness, might sound bleak, but ideal conditions to run really efficient computers. You could have vast empires of virtual minds living around those black holes.

I’m sure there’s several Star manufacturing operations in China that we could buy some new Stars off Alibaba, on the cheap. I’m just saying we need to consider all options here
lets see what will born next, curios, curious!
I thought the universe is expanding. How many stars have "died"? If there are multi-verses, how does this impact those parallel planes?
@@Sannidor I'm pretty sure stars have died, for 2 generations the universe was generally believed to be expanding. I change my views based on evidence.

The notification for this video came just at the right moment when I was studying the concept of entropy and entropy generation. And just as the idea that if entropy is ever increasing and entropy generation is always positive, it means that the available energy of the isolated system (Universe) is decreasing. Which means the Universe is going to come to an end, with no available energy.
wow
