The Yin Yang was a bright idea.
But what's the brightest thing in the universe
What a transition
Yin Yang
Vsauce is the art of presenting something, asking a seemingly unrelated question and then ending the video with a connection of the answer, and the something.
@@shneancy220 Or is it?
He connected it with a pun...that's amazing
And the fact that the video ends with it too
It's actually the lights when ya mom wakes you up

Thank you.
Michael's videos are the definition of timeless
You can watch his stuff any year and still feel the same amount of awe and information satisfaction
Facts
True but I thought Our earth fits 1.5 Million times into the sun?
@@Ant1ev0not sure which part of thr video your are referencing but mass is not size. more mass with the same size = denser. sun is 330,000x earths mass, but it's volume is 1.3x million earths. a black hole can have the same mass as the sun but take up a fraction of the space.
Black holes have mass concentrated at their very core in an infinitely small point, giving them infinite mass
yeah the whole Andromeda milky way collision bit won't feel dated for another few billion years
Did you know that the sun is so big, you can fit an entire football field in it?
Are you joking or you actually think that the sun is just as big as a football field? (pls don’t whoooosh me)
1,135,000,000,000,000 times
FireHun20 The joke is that Michael commonly uses football fields as big units of measurement. The statement is true but very obvious. And now the joke is ruined because I explained it.
And still have room for a chessboard. I mean, that's big m8

@@mal_idk1488 or does it
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.
The last picture's transition to yin yang was so much suspense revealing, and the soundtrack gave the final chill.
Operator: 911 what’s your emergency
American: uh my family’s scared of the sky
Operator: Sir that's the galaxy.
I mean I'm scared of the sky too
Made me think because living in mexico in the city you still can see the stars more clearly. I use to go to the country side with to my extented family.for vacation and its a small spured area. 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.
The sky visually assaulted my wife in a dark alley. Please catch this sick scumbag.
@@seanceknowles2911 I grew up in the U.S and i have forever been disappointed since I've seen the true galaxy XD
He can go from “bright idea” to “what’s the brightest thing in the universe” and not make it weird.
He does make it weird, but its already normal for us
I would bet he comes up with video ideas while high and writing down his stream of consciousness. Then actually does the research when sober 😂
If you understand this video like a nerd you can say that he was talking about a Yin-Yan all this time and the intro was related.
Notice the outro

@@gupadre8255 I bet it's Vsauce's only way of communicating information. He's trying to send us a message from his cell and we have to look at the first letter of every comment he likes.
There being no artificial light is probably why it was so easy for ancient civilizations to track and study the stars. Everything was just so clearly visible.

I like how Vsauce starts the video with something very interesting but also completely unrelated to the topic of the video yet somehow connects them.
I swear, if Michael was running a lemonade stand and I asked him how good it was, I would end up learning the laws of thermodynamics and quantum physics.

There must be a global holiday in which every light city should be turned off for at least 10 minutes, so that we can appreciate the beauty of a truly night sky
YES!
When I go camping in the summer, there are obviously lights. I would always sneak out with my dad and look at the stars because the sky would be full with them, like almost more stars than black.
joe mama same, I do it almost everyweek, We go to a cabin we bought, it was basically a second house, i don’t even know why we call it a cabin, the top floor is the roof that has a telescope a dome, not too large and not too big, we sleep there usually
But isn't Earth Hour a kind of way to do this? I know that EH is just for saving energy and such but maybe we can take advantage of that
Yea I never saw a space cloud
The brightest thing in the entire universe is my phone at 3am with maximum brightness

Well, you're not wrong.

My brother was so intrigued by light bulbs and how it works he went to the garage, with a lot of lightbulbs connected them all, then when I went to fetch him, he lighted them all, it was so bright, all i could see was spots in my eyes, for a couple of seconds or minutes even, i forgot, it was like 10 years ago, also it all just fuck blow up so it became brighter

Gd reference even here...
y'all... does anyone know which song is playing around 8:43 ??
but anyways, i think space and black holes are my #1 favorite things of all time, and Michael explaining them makes me wanna learn even more. i will always come back to his videos if i wanna just experiment with him from within my own home, even if these videos are almost a decade old, I will never get tired of watching them. thank you Michael, you are truly something so amazing.
Isn't crazy to think when you look up, you're looking in the past?
Everything you see is in the past
Yeah technically it is, Michael said it himself
A lot of the stars we see in the sky at night are from ancient past we have no clue about
Brian Duneman a lot of star we see are already dead but there so far their that they appear still here
What's creepy is a lot of the stars we see in the sky are remnants of the stars they once were and a some of them may be black holes now.
"The symbol was a bright idea... But what's the brightest object in the entire universe?"
Jesus... that was uhm.... that was quite the leap.
I imagine this is your first trip to Vsauce?
Muzammil Halim huh? No, he doesn't usually make that big of jumps though, actually this isn't even the first time I've watched this video, just haven't seen it in a couple years.
Seriously that was the wildest transition that i've yet to see anyone top.
Well that escalated quickly.
SarcasticDragon Gaming q
The brightest thing is actually your head 💀
I feel like every Vsause video is a fragment of one, non-interrupting line of thoughts. Michael thinks about everything and gets to everything from everything, and what we're seeing are just cut out fragments of his never-ending thought process.
Mom: Honey, don’t look at the sun. It’s too bright.

"Calling dark matter 'not bright' is kind of like calling your peanut butter sandwich a 'not fast airplane'."
Vsause - 2014
...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.
Deathbrewer well no the main reason he said that is because dark matter doesn't interact with light as far as we can tell. So it doesn't have a brightness so to speak

The brightest thing in the universe is my bedroom light when my mom wakes me up at 3am to catch the flight
“The process that unshackled the most light is caused by the thing that best imprisons it.” That is a quite impressive sentence at the end
Poetic
Amazingly astounding.
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.
I love how he starts by saying something completely unrelated
And yet it’s related back to the main point
Or is it?
@@thestranger1164 *music comes in*

I don't think "Hey VSauce, Michael here" is completely unrelated, especially considering the fact that it symbolises his channel.

I love how unpredictably predictable Michael’s videos are
Hmm yes the floor here is not made of floor.
the the is not the
🙃
You have it backwards, you mean predictably unpredictable. In other words you can anticipate that the video is going to have tons of random facts but you're not exactly sure how it will unfold until you've watched it.
Unpredictability predictable is kinda nonsensical because you're saying the videos are predictable, while simultaneously saying you can't predict whether they will be predictable or not

The content on his channel feels way more futuristic
I usually get back to the channel very often but I feel when I will visit some 30-40 years later if alive (may be from another planet lol) how nostalgic it would feel
I think we should make an (inter)national "blackout night" every years ! That would be beautiful ^^
Definately, that would be an amazing event to experience!
if that happens I would be outside in the pitch black like a tweeker! haha I can only wish that I will get to see something like that before I die..

what would be better is if people went to the countryside where there is less light pollution. Also the blackout would propably cause a skipe in crime
