Houses can be close together but at the same time far apart feom other small homes and the atreet lights were also spured and far apart so when it's night time its really dark ams the sky is littered with millions of stars. It was beautiful. When i was 8 i came to the US and was disappointed at how empty the sky is.

      That's true of all things in life. What makes you strongest hurts the most. What gives you the most knowledge is the hardest to understand. The concept of Yin and Yang is everywhere, but just like the dichotomy of black holes and quasars, because it is everywhere it becomes hard to notice. What is most abundant is the hardest to see.

      ...Because we don't even know if "Dark matter" is actually a form of matter. It's just an unknown source of gravity. Neil DeGrasse Tyson has said a more appropriate name for it would actually be "dark gravity." And this isn't to be confused with dark energy either, which is the mysterious force responsible for the expansion of the universe to keep accelerating (which we can observe and have shown in experiments) as opposed to eventually slowing down like we would have guessed.

    it's crazy that this is made before we even had an accurate idea of what a black hole's accretion disc looks like, since Interstellar invented the rendering technology necessary to get the image and it wouldn't release until like 7 months after this, and then we didn't get a real picture until the Webb telescope. Still very cool a decade later.

    "Regardless of who used it first, it was a bright idea. But what's the brightest thing in the entire Universe?" That's the Michael we know and love. Incoherent in every way imaginable.

    This is my favorite video by Vsauce, the introduction leading into the topic is brilliant and seem mostly unrelated like most other videos, but the ending looping back to intro giving it its possible true and deeper meaning.

      I love to find little details that he puts on the videos as well. For example, at the beginning of the video he appears on the "yang" side of the taijitu, because it is often associated with, among other things, "masculinity" or "maleness". Also there's the pictures at 3:45 and at 8:51 that resembles a taijitu as well.
