Kurzgesagt is honestly one of the precious gems formed on the internet, so much effort put into amazing animation, sounds, research, and much more. Thank you guys for you what do.
The only thing that would've made this video/animation better is if they took the concept of time travel in mind. For instance: If you are on a floaty swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and you set your wrist watch to go back in time by 1 Second. Would your body-double really be in the ocean, metres away, where you were floating 1 second ago. (Think Back to the Future). Or would you be kilometres away due to the rotation of the Earth. Or would you be thousands of kilometres due to Earths orbit around the Sun. Or would you be light-years away due to the orbit of our Solar System around the orbit of our Milky Way. Or even further away as our galaxy is moving away from other galaxies in our universe. Or perhaps our entire Universe itself is moving too. ...Perhaps the Universe is moving, like bubbles in a bathtub, and our Universe is rubbing against alternate universes at a higher dimension which one day might pop into each other, cease to exist, or create a new Universe. And God is nothing but a belligerent baby enjoying the bubbles, written in a story, in the mind of an intoxicated author, who is watching a Kurzgegast video on his iPhone, whilst sitting in a floaty in a Pacific Island, which is on Earth that is spinning, that orbits the sun... ... ... ...
I love how Kurzgesagt has started finishing their videos with a really positive message that makes you feel better about the 5 minutes of existential horror you’ve just experienced
@@romanski5811 I have to disagree, while I understand there's some appeal to experiencing existential questions and bleaker outcomes, I think doing that makes them unique in a sea of creatives that speak of such topics with a negative outlook. Maybe that is a merit on its own to do this, but besides that I think its good to have a little bit of a positive outlook on things
@@kusalg On the practical side, I agree, it's better to induce positivity and hopefulness in these trying times. But once climate change, wealth inequality, sustainable environment etc. is fixed, then they should go back to inducing pure existential dread.
@@romanski5811 did you say wealth inequality ? Bro please...stop with Marxist/Communist utopian dreams , this will never happen for one fundemental reason... people are different and make different decisions and have different skills and you cant equal that out no matter how hard you try because not all things have equal value period. Anyone can mow the lawn , very few can perform brain surgery. This means the value of brain surgery especially if you need it is much higher with a limited supply of capable people to do it than lawn mowers . You won't pay $100k to have lawn mowed but I bet you'd pay that for a life saving surgery. This mentality has been tried to the conclusion of the deaths of literally hundreds of millions of people. See Lenin, Stalin , Mao and Pol Pot to name a few, this BS has been tried IT DOESN'T WORK when are people going to get it through their head already? The best way to destroy and impoverish a country is to try to achieve equitable outcomes all you ever end up with is equally poor and starving people or do you not know about the Gulags and the 10 million starved in the USSR ? The very best we can achieve is equality of opportunity with a social safety net to make sure the people at the very bottom aren't left behind and suffering and I dare you to prove otherwise
This is how my father explained to me, why time traveling would be by far the most impossible and ressource consuming thing ever to be done by humanity. As you may be able to bend time, but you need to track the exact location of the earth in the universe, from where you want to time travel to.
This implies the existence of an absolute frame of reference in the universe, which is not a thing. Since it requires a time-space warp, which is basically a worhmole with an entrance and an exit, in which both are basically just modified black holes, the exit point would simply orbit all the objects in vicinity. This means unless it's at orbital velocity, it will orbit THROUGH earth. Which, since it's a black hole like physical object, means disaster for earth. Actually, having a black hole like object that big anywhere near the solar system means disaster in any case.
Yeah no, the earth is an (almost) inertial reference frame. Any time travel method that is "stationary" in space an constructed on earth would not preturbed by anything but the rotation of the earth . (and very slightly by tidal forces). Standing still only means no acceleration, no net force (no, gravity isn't a force, see General Relativity, an orbit is a "straight line"/geodesic through space time). If the time machine were built on earth and kept the spacial reference frame of earth you'd probably only need to use it on a plane and take a parachute with you. You'd also need to do a 0g dive. This makes the reference frame locally inertial, jump into your wormhole and you'll pop out in more or less the same spot in the sky. (I'd still take an oxygen mask and jump out a few km above the ground to have some wiggle room)
"The scale of the universe is brain crushing and trying to keep a track of how everything is oriented or decide where the best up and down is hard. But it doesn't really matter. Because it doesn't change where you are. You're already in the best spot you could possibly be...right here, right now. For all you care nothing can stop you from being right at the center of your own little universe." What a nice way to put it. Kurzgesagt, you beauty!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR UA-cam STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Wow! Someone finally made this visualization (solar system traveling around the Milky Way). This is really amazing. Thank you for making such a beautiful piece of art!
This was stated in the Islamic Holy Quran 1400 years ago Surah Yasin 36:38 وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّۢ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ ٣٨ And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
@@ajdj7834 Wrong, and there are many other things written in the Quaran that are BS and don't fit with modern science. Just because some random vague sentence that you can interpret as you want to fits maybe partially, does not prove anything. What is the stopping point anyway? Seting in the dark water, with people around, or something else? You just cherrypicked one part and completely ignored the part that makes absolutely no sense.
I just graduated with a degree in physics, and my peers gave me a hard time over liking kurzgesagt. Their perspective was that kurzgesagt oversimplifies problems, and doesn't consider serious questions. My counter-point was that kurzgesagt does extremely well at the job it tries to do: to make science approachable and fun! I think many scientists get caught up with the details of highly complex scientific questions, and this makes the scientific fields seem unapproachable. In order to keep the scientific fields alive, we desperately need public outreach efforts like kurzgesagt to get people to realize the beauty and fun involved in asking or answering scientific questions! Thank you for all that you do kurzgesagt, you are an amazing channel, and you have done so much for the advancement of the sciences.
That's all fine & good, but if you're going to have alarmist takes then you need to be as objective as possible. They've gotten better about it recently, but it's not hard to see why people in STEM have issues with this channel, me included.
that's why science get so much bad press so many stem guys just cant bring themselves to take out the whole goddamn ivory tower out of their assess and consider the common people it's almost as if none of these fucker have met the work of Carl Sagan, like at all
'Good morning, lovely weather isn't it? I sure hope it stays that way for our picnic. Do you think we'll need umbrellas?' 'Ah, don't be such an alarmist, you'll ruin the mood. What's in the hamper needs to be a surprise'. 'Weather doesn't go in the hamper'. @Busta von Nutz: Some people aren't equipped to deal with the world wobbling about, and others are. This channel is one of those that sorts through those types of people.
the visual [5:38] of our solar system "diving down and shooting up like a drunk dolphin" is probably one of my favorites you've ever done. it's just so pretty... and so nice to think about. idk it's soothing. i think i'm just a sucker for pretty space backgrounds...
Absolutely love the progression of the animation style. I've been following this channel since it's first year and I can safely say I'm always ever more in love with each new upload
The orbital velocity of planets, exoplanets, and moons orbiting around planets affect the density of planets. Further, the density of planets affect the entire ecosystem of Earth. The density of planets is the most important metric of measuring the value and health of a planet. The denser the planet the healthier the ecosystems.
Honestly the animation quality is insane! It's crazy how big the difference is between their older videos compared to now. It was great back then but now it's just mind blowing 10/10
Apart from silly point of the video ("this is just a concept [which they mistake with illusion] so let's give you another concepts trying to disguise them as reality]") I'm amazed at their 3D but 2D looking animation.
This ties into the existential crisis I had about feeling trapped behind my eyes and knowing I would never be able to see the world from another point of view, and no one would know what it's like to feel what I feel or hear what I'm thinking, and when my eyes close, that's it. No more world. I won't suddenly switch perspectives from another "universe." It felt very, very isolating. This tied into that, because where I am, no one else will ever be, and vice versa.
I've thought about that, too! It got me more interested in philosophy of perception. Reminds me of things like the allegory of the cave which I've always found fascinating, and the Cartesian "evil demon".
I have also thought about that too. I'm happy that I'm not the only one feeling like this. I guess this is what it feels like being a conscient being or having a soul. If you think about it, the body is kinda like a physical prison for your soul that is probably made of some sort of spiritual energy that can probably be measured. Or maybe the soul is the only kind of energy that can transcend dimensions but the body is somehow the only thing the soul is binded to as long as the body(or maybe the brain) is still active or able to control the body. Otherwise brain death is kinda like the soul is not there anymore.
I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something about the animation here that seems softer, smoother and even more vibrant than usual. The colours too! Kurzgesagt just keeps getting better and better, it blows my mind! Great job guys 👏🏻
We LITERALLY Live in the Age of Smart Entertainment and UA-cam is full of intelligent+funny Content. I just blatantly start naming people know, so deal with it: Sci Man Dan, Knowing Better, Logicked, Professor Dave, Prophet of Zod, GMS, Veritasium, Bluejay, Sir Sic.
Everyone is talking about the animations, which are nothing short of incredible, but I would like to also point out the amazing sound design in this video and in their videos in general. It just complements the visuals so well. Props to them for the amazing work!
i can always count on kurzgesagt to flip my perspective and fling me into an existential crises. but thanks to them, ive decided to pursue a career in social service because they helped me realise that im so minuscule, smaller than an atom compared to the incomprehensible size of the universe that what you do doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things, but if i can make a small difference, help someone make their life better then maybe my life is worth something

You guys have put HUGE effort into your videos. I LOVE your animations and your clear explaining. This channel should receive like, a trillion diamond UA-cam play buttons for their work. The animation team is insane!!!
This is all to make you feel like nothing, he builds all his points on unproven theories, especially the heliocentric theory built around the mark of the beast by men: Axis tilt 66.6 Spinning speed 66,600 Curvature per mile Sq 0.666 If you believe and have been told that this curves, you will base it off the assumption instead of reality. It is all to draw you away from god in the end, the creator of everything. Serve the one who created you, do not praise these deluders if you want to be successful here and in the hereafter. The Almighty the Merciful, who made fair for you lusts of women and riches... Peace
“We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth” [Fussilat 41:53].
Today I learned: The Solar System is tilted in respect to the Milky Way The Moon makes the Earth's orbit "wavy" The Earth-Moon Barycenter is ~4700 km from Earth's core The Solar System doesn't orbit perfectly smoothly, but instead moves up and down relative to the galactic plane ~10x per orbit Of the existence of the Laniakea and Pices-Cetus superclusters, and galactic filaments Kurzgesagt loves giving us existential crises while at the same time making us feel good about ourselves
He left out the planets cause the sun and in-turn the whole solar system to wobble (like he showed earth wobble due to the moon) not just up and down, but sideways too.
They say that when you can explain a difficult concept with easy words, it means you are smart. Well, the people scripting this video must be geniuses then.
What's complicated about the fact that position is determined by other objects and your planet has multiple orbits? Once you know what space is, you get the idea. Maybe if you were a medieval peasant, it would blow your mind, but as someone who thought about the Universe for more than 10 seconds, I already figured up and down is Earthly concept.
7:10 "the jiggle of existence" is a combination of words I never imagined to hear in my life, let alone somewhere that I could learn something new. Wow
"Do you feel a bit dizzy? It gets worse." Kurzgesagt sometimes has no mercy with the viewer and I'm here for it :D Jokes aside though, the positive take in the end was a nice touch, leaving the viewer with a feeling of awe to cope with the newly fueled existential dread.
It’s true, once you accept that you can’t understand or control everything and nothing *really* matters, you’re free to craft your own frame of reference and enjoy life moment to moment ✨
@Get on the cross and don’t look back If you're only believing in god for the benefits and assurance then that isn't really believing. Just think that if it wasn't for the concept of hell, you wouldn't believe in him at all. You only believe because of fear.
An interesting concept related to this is the issue of time travel. Even if time travel were to be possible, if you travelled back or forwards in time, you would also have to travel through space, as earth would be in an entirely different place, possibly millions of light years away considering the expansion of the universe. We often conceptualize time travel as if we could hop in a machine in our backyard, travel back in time to the era of dinosaurs, and see how our backyard looked back then. But you’d likely end up in an empty part of space with the Earth nowhere to be seen
Whether or not time travel is possible isn't up for debate. We're always traveling through time and we don't know how to stop. As we continuously travel into the future, we're also continuously moving through space. It doesn't seem possible to move through space and not time or to move through time and not space. So I don't think we would have to worry about ending up in an empty part of space.
It would depend on the mechanism or technology that allowed time-jumping. One view is that it would be like jumping off a moving car, it would carry on its way. So if you 'step off' (travel forward or backward) you'll end up far from where the car "now" is. It could also be that, while travelling through time, you keep/reduce your space-travel momentum. A nifty thought-experiment is also that, if you could time travel, you would be able to get readings on whether the universe in general was 'moving' or if it is an overall static mass.
I believe that before a proper time travel machine can be made, we need a teleportation device as a component to the time machine can calculate not just temporal but even physical coordinates. Inertia would also be an issue.
You could move only in time but not in space if you calculated in avance where your position was at the moment you entered the time machine. But I think that would make it so you can't jump to arbitrarely chosen points in time, only when the planet itself is in the same relative position (or, at least) you wouldn't end too many kilometeres in the air, or worse, in space.
I've seen the change in perspective myself. I'm born and raised in interior Alaska, but the rest of my family lives in the lower 48. When visiting down in California or Florida, the stars and constellations change position drastically. It's fascinating to look at the stars again and trying to recognize the familiar shapes in different locations.
"You're already in the best spot you possibly could be. Right here, right now. For all you care, nothing can stop you from being right at the center of your own little universe." Thank you Kurzgesagt
Not me. This world puts a frown on my face. Mankind is headed for self destruction. The world is such a messed up, chaotic lunacy, full of egotistical power war mongers, greedy materialistic mongers, drug filled 'where's my next fix' bozos, alcohol filled drunks. It would be great if a gigantic asteroid 'planet killer' struck this 3rd rock form the Sun. And things would start over. Maybe the next humanoid life form will do things proper.

You guys have conveyed one of, if not my most, favorite thing about astronomy - how *everything* is relative, and how everything is always changing, even though a lot of those changes are very slow compared to human timescales. The measuring of positions in space - astrometry - is genuinely one of the most fascinating (and frustrating, haha) subfields of astronomy
I think something that will see a lot of use later in our species' timelines: 'Down' will be toward the nearest upsized gravity well you want to travel near. IE intrasystem travel, 'down' is the sun. Intragalactic, the supermassive black hole at the center. And so on.
I always feel a little sad that I can't see things on a galactic scale, but this made me consider: If there WERE beings of a scale galactic or beyond, they might never be able to see things on a 'micro' scale as 'small' as our own frame of reference is either, and maybe that would be pretty sad too. Galactic grass is always greener and all that.
@@HarzemTube but it's in all directions. We're not moving away from it, so much as it is expanding in all directions, and we are perceivably at the center of it
@@drdrew7475 Scientific American: "One of COBE's discoveries was that the earth was moving with respect to this CBR with a well-defined speed and direction. Because the CBR permeates all space, we can finally answer the original question fully, using the CBR as the frame of reference. The earth is moving with respect to the CBR at a speed of 390 kilometers per second. We can also specify the direction relative to the CBR."
@@dangerfly what I mean is that it's not a useful frame of reference to understand our location, since that distance would be true in every direction. To illustrate that, imagine you are lost in an unknown city and ask for a direction. A stranger tells you that you are located 5kms away from McDonald's, but there are in fact 10 of them in various directions, all 5kms away. It tells you how far you are from them, but doesn't help you understand where you are. I hope this makes sense Edit: just reread the comment and saw the mention of direction. Paint me intrigued, I'll go find that article 😄
@@Arqade38 you'd have to track the exact location of the earth to where you want to go and with time not meaning much in the universe it's impossible and it's abit too complicated for me but thats the short of it
I love the existential horror that I get from these videos, but this one just filled me with so much love and wonder! I think it is the reminder of how small and insignificant we are in the universe, but also lucky we are to exist at the same time as Kurzgesagt ❤️
@Jacko Sargs I also think that’s kinda beautiful in a way. Maybe we aren’t meant to know the universe. That doesn’t make anything else we do any less meaningful to us. (In my opinion)the fact that we can never truly understand the universe is something that makes our lives, and the universe itself more beautiful. We can try and get as much knowledge as we can, and sure if we found out we could understand the universe that would be nice, but the fact that the universe is such an indescribably large and old thing in the perspective of us, makes it cooler.
@Jacko Sargs That's what gets me, not being around long enough to share in the greater discoveries that will happen in the future. I'm working my way into a medical/bio-chem degree because I want to work in longevity to at least try have a chance to hang around a bit longer to see what else we can discover.
The more content humans can create with this level of care on different topics, the closer we can get to making that reality. Goal should be to transform the nature of modern education.
I've partially known this since I was a kid, and I've always wondered if you made a time machine, it likely would need to not only travel through time, but also travel perfectly through space so you don't end up millions of miles, or lightyears away from Earth in the middle of empty space.
I think the part that really puts things into perspective is the line "down to the jiggle of existance" really makes you realies how small and uncertain our home is on the larger scale.

my brother is only 3 years old, and he’s watching your videos! Thanks to the concept and the pictures/drawings of the videos, he’s slightly understanding it.
I dunno, I thought it was a bit of a tongue in cheek jibe, almost as if to say "Don't have an existential crisis, you small minded fool, we know we just blew your mind with the reality that you are infinitesimally irrelevant, and not actually the centre of the universe"
@@haydenhoodless2055 That’s why the message works you goofy. If we just stay on the topic that we’re nothing, we’ll get nowhere. It’s better to just do what you CAN do rather than nothing.
"But it doesn't really matter. Because it doesn't change where you are. You're already in the best spot you could possibly be - right here, right now." loved it
One of the many good things about Kurzgesagt is that its videos are marked by a spirit of optimism and good humour - even the doomiest of topics are made comforting by splendid animation and superb narration. Bravo!
Kurzgesagt, one subject that I think needs a lot of clearing up and explanation is entropy. I've heard many differing explanations and claims about it, and I think you guys really would do justice to what entropy is by properly and helpfully explaining it.
My favourite thing about Kurzgesagt videos other than the videos themselves as a whole, are the small details. 2:30 was such a beautiful moment for me that I simply had to stop and admire The Little Prince on the small rock body with the rose was amazing. A core memory of my childhood. I was more astonished because the story or even the animated series is something no one seems to know You guys brightened up my day with that little classical reference because it makes me happy that others know it exists. It’s enchanting

Some of them are actually quite intelligent because they come up with some clever rationalizations. Intelligence doesn't necessarily lead you to truth.
@@Miranox2their reasoning for the earth being flat is literally because of their own frame of reference. that doesn’t seem very smart or logical to me.
This is the most beautiful video I’ve watched in my 40 years of living, I’m not just taking about the animation but the whole design, the way the information is given in stages, the lovely voice which assures us yet sacred is too, the sound mix -everything. Amazingly wonderfully well put together. Love how it makes my head spin and you know that it does. When people follow their passions to create something new, what a wonderful gift that is for the world.
All based upon the unproven heliocentric theory. The constellations have never moved, ever. Heliocenterism is built on the mark of the beast. Serve not save God.
i know this is a joke, but it's actually flipped. winter is when we are nearly the closest to the sun, and summer is when we are the farthest. weather and other factors make earth seem really weird and more unique to me
@@phantomarcadex Yes, the Earth's axis is tilted, so people think we are furthest from the sun during winter, but it is actually the opposite. During winter, we are closest to the sun. However, because the axis is tilted, the Earth's surface area is tilted away from the sun during winter. As a result, sunlight shines on the Earth at a wider angle, so the energy received per area is weaker. Since the North Pole points away from the sun, the South Pole points toward it, meaning that for the South Pole, winter is actually summer at the same time. Over the next six months, when it becomes summer at the North Pole, the Earth's axis points toward the sun, resulting in more energy per area. However, the axis itself isn't moving; it is the Earth's orbital motion that changes the phase.
This thought first crossed my mind as a kid watching a time travel movie where you travel in time but same placement. I got this horrific vision of dying from ending up somewhere in empty space.
There is a great book by Piers Anthony called 'Bearing an Hourglass'. It is a story about the human incarnation of Time. In the book, Piers explores this idea directly. It is a great fantasy book that touches on some serious scientific conundrums. I highly recommend it and the entire Incarnations of Immortality series.
I don't think so - because the next question is "relative to what" and the counter-intuative answer is "there is no what - it's all relative!". So as long as you were moving relative to the time machine itself, or maybe even you yourself, you'll be fine. In other words - if you consider the earth moving - then you yourself are moving as you enter the "time machine" (whatever incarnation that takes" - therefore you'd keep your momentum - like the portals in Portal - but through time, not space.
The craziest thing is, that despite feeling and actually being so tiny, every human is in fact closer on the size scale to the largest object in the universe, than to the smallest one. There is a larger amount of quarks in each of our bodies than there is stars in our galaxy alone. So, hypothetically speaking, it would be easier and less energy-consuming to enlarge a human to the size fo the observable universe than to the size of a planck unit. Just smth to think about.
I think about that with increasing frequency each year. I'm a bio teacher and teach a lesson early in the year on the scale of the universe and life and such. The average eukaryotic cell seems to be close to the "middle" in scale. We really are planet sized blobs of individual living things working together.
Thats assuming we've found the smallest. It makes just as much sense for the universe to be infinitely big as the parts that make it to be infinitely small.
@@lew-ejones-ayres5088 Clearly neither you or the original poster know much. 1. Quarks are point particles. 2. There are more Up and Down quarks which comprise the protons and neutrons that comprise the atoms that comprise the molecules that comprise the acids and proteins that comprise your cells that comprise your body and you than: planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae in our universe combined. Simplification: you are made of more quarks than there are stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, pieces of ice, and rather every celestial body in the observable universe combined.

This is one of the reasons why I think time travel could be problematic. Where you start from won't be the same location in space at a different time. Say you're in your time machine in a lab and you want to time travel, you rewind or fast forward and end up somewhere in space or in the centre of a planet. To stay in the same place when time changes you'd need an absolute reference point and not something relative like parked in a lab
But space and time are connected through spacetime. If you move to a different time back you'll also move to a different space (thr chance of it being the same space as you started is probably so small that its not ever possible)
But because there are no absolute positions and locations, the only way that a "location in space" makes sense is with respect to some reference point. Which is totally arbitrary. And it being arbitrary, who is to say that your lab is an incorrect reference point? You time travel and stay in exact same position with reference to that reference point, i.e. you stay in the lab.
It also depends whether you are moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light, how masive you are, some other factors I probably forgot which can all influence the "freefall" path you take through curved spacetime.
I always love the space themed ones and the way you simplify them, learning about the immune system is interesting but this is just something else. Good job!
This is a great example of "the grass is greener on the other side." From your perspective, up is away from Earth, and from another Earth is just a grain of sand picked up by a crashing wave. None of those perspectives are wrong, just seen from different angles. Just because someone sees your life one way doesn't make your view of your life wrong. You might have a bad grade on a test, and someone elsewhere is struggling to eat. Just because someone else has a more difficult challenge doesn't make what is happening to you less real.
5:00 That is beautiful. A mathematical dance that entire solar system makes as it travels throughout a galaxy. Now imagine all other star systems joining in with their own movements.
@@am5ters504Being a space enthusiast and an amateur dance practitioner, I deeply enjoyed your characterization of the Universe as the cosmically deepest and most plural dance performance ever. Great to see dance is everywhere.
The lesson of illusory perspective is so well described. Everything is an assumed reality from our frame of mind. But grander scale becomes more varied. Even if it is accurate in one perspective it can still be challenged in another. Inspiring!
Everything is an assumed reality - couldn't have said it better. really makes you think what the overall goal is considering at some point the universe will be completely dark due to its rapid expansion (as far as we're aware at least in this 'illusory perspective') I like to think humans are temporary and we'll somehow build the stage for the next 'beings' but obviously this is just a wild thought. As always this channel never ceases to amaze me
I've always loved how patterns repeat over scale, the planets are like electrons, the stars are the nucleus, the solar systems are atoms, the galaxies are compounds together creating giant structures which are like proteins and then those proteins float around aimlessly waiting to collide with something and change shape and create a new shape or two different ones. The universe has an incredibly slow metabolism of motion in comparison to the proteins that mimic it. Much like a large animal has a very slow metabolism and a small animal has a very fast metabolism. Our universe just might be an infinite fractal
That model of the atom looks like the orbits of a planetary systems because we (well... Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913) made it that way. In reality, the parts of an atom are more wobbly-spinny than the Bohr model shows.
Sorry, but that model of atomic structure isn't really correct - it's pre-quantum theory. Electrons aren't little globes orbiting a central 'sun' - they're probability clouds expressed best as a set of mathematical matrices... What seems like a nice analogy breaks down as soon as you know more about atoms and sub-atomic particles.
Apart from the great content of this channel, this is an example how good ads can be. I hope all marketeers around take this excellent Shopify ad as an example.
I was literally thinking about this the other day when my kids asked me about time machines. I told them it would really have to be a "time and place machine" because we're flying through the universe so fast that moving through time even a millisecond means we'd end up in empty space if there weren't a way to also say where you wanted to go.
Imagine if you had the power to completely stop all absolute motion of an object and fix it to one spatial point in the universe. That would be an AWESOME power.
In fact, a time machine would really just be a teleporter. Moving through space instantly (faster than the speed of light) is time travel, so if you could teleport instantly to where you were, that'll do it!
@@SplendidFellow That is a good point. I can't even begin to imagine the maths and engineering that would go into a beast of a machine like that. God damn.
There's a video made by Vsauce explaining this same subject, they just didn't go that far on the galactic scale, and the fact that Vsauce does incredibly good videos and so does Kurzgesagt even on similar subjects just shows the amount of creativity and talent these kind of creators have. The possibilities are quite big and I feel really fortunate that I get to watch it for free. Also I've been meaning to buy some merchandise for a while now, just need to choose wisely!

3:50 The way the Earth moves around in this moment with the clouds hovering above and all that is one of the best things I’ve seen on this channel. It’s incredibly well made
I've blown a few minds by walking friends through the thought experiment of imagining an empty universe, without any frame of reference, then imagining a single object in that space without any way of comparing it's attributes to anything else. It's a good way of beginning to explain relativity.

Of all the videos I have seen trying to visually represent this topic, this one has been hands down the best one yet. It perfectly describes the motion of everything from planet to galaxy. Well done 👍. This channel is always impressing me in new and awesome ways. Even things that I thought that I had a firm grasp on, after seeing one here on the same subject leaves me with a better understanding and often new information. I also love how these videos can be watched by kids up to adults alike and everyone can take something from it. Impressing.
This is one of the things I think people don't consider when they're talking about whether time travel should be possible or not. If you were to travel through time, even just a nanosecond, with the earth scooting along through space at a million km/h would have you falling from an unsurvivable height back to earth. If you went back or forward in time by 1 second, you'd appear out in space somewhere behind or in front of the earth, unless you move through time AND space, and I think if you were able to open a portal to 1 second ago, you'd just be sucked through it into the vacuum of space.
yes because everything always needs to be so realistic in sci-fi. People shooting at each other with laser blasters and swinging plasma swords hot enough to melt your hands, but it's time travel that always gets the criticism.
@@reginaldsafety6090 yes, they form a 4-dimentional manifold (spacetime). But if the time machine moves you only along the time axis, your other 3 coordinates (coordinates in space) remain unchanged. Therefore you end up being far away from the Earth, since the Earth is moving along a much more complicated curve in the manifold (not only along the time axis).
This has BY FAR my absolute favourite animation out of everything you’ve ever done. Seeing GRIS on the wall at 0:20 and The Little Prince at 2:31 put such a massive grin on my face.
2:31 Kurzgesagt has some really good references. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry himself would not have believe his creation would end up on a network of moving images 80 years later, but he definitely would be proud.
I'm just having a huge smile like a little kid getting candy. The educational videos you guys bring out makes me so excited and inspired, while the accompanying animations just mesmerize me. Thank you so much for all the effort everyone in Kurzgesagt!
honestly, while being more existence-questioning than most of the kurzgesagt videos, this was one of the least existence-questioning of the existence-questioning videos.
I've always thought about this question, I commonly brought it up to my friends. Most looked at me like I was crazy. But this really does make me feel a little less alone, I love these kinda questions. WHERE THE HECK ARE WE? lmao. Where is the universe located, in what medium and how? What an incomprehensible thought. Thanks for reading
People say things like this, but videos like this are pop science. They're entertaining and they garner millions of views, but to actually contribute in even the smallest way in such fields requires mathematics and that's truly where you lose people.
If only we could build a spaceship that could hold the entire human race, have gravity, food, beaches, and mountains and have an energy source for a billion years. Make it travel at say about a million km/h. Imagine the things the human race would collectively see.... Oh wait.
I mean considering we're moving with everything else, if we were to make that and go in the opposite direction of our solar system, we might actually see a lot more (and crash into something and die)
There’s something about this video that’s like especially great. The visuals, sound design, pacing, the writing, it’s all amazing! Keep up the amazing work Kurzgesagt team!
Survey-Question (just go with it, please): Wouldnt oyu prefer it if we had Leaders who know the Internet but didnt embarass-themselves inside-it - or is that just me? I mean, we live in the Internet-Age and so much Data is available+understood. It's not like Rain was understood by People 10000 Years ago: For Example (and just an example!) Prisons. We know USA is objectively worse at knowing how Prisons have to work...
When people asked me "What's up?" I used to answer: "Away from the central gravitational point of any body in space you feel a gravitational acceleration towards.". I'm glad to see that definition is still valid.
To be honest, I had this exact same thought when I was randomly thinking in the shower. Things make so much more sense when you change your perspective to being relative to everything.

copied lol
The only thing that would've made this video/animation better is if they took the concept of time travel in mind.
For instance:
If you are on a floaty swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and you set your wrist watch to go back in time by 1 Second. Would your body-double really be in the ocean, metres away, where you were floating 1 second ago. (Think Back to the Future). Or would you be kilometres away due to the rotation of the Earth. Or would you be thousands of kilometres due to Earths orbit around the Sun. Or would you be light-years away due to the orbit of our Solar System around the orbit of our Milky Way. Or even further away as our galaxy is moving away from other galaxies in our universe. Or perhaps our entire Universe itself is moving too.
...Perhaps the Universe is moving, like bubbles in a bathtub, and our Universe is rubbing against alternate universes at a higher dimension which one day might pop into each other, cease to exist, or create a new Universe. And God is nothing but a belligerent baby enjoying the bubbles, written in a story, in the mind of an intoxicated author, who is watching a Kurzgegast video on his iPhone, whilst sitting in a floaty in a Pacific Island, which is on Earth that is spinning, that orbits the sun... ... ... ...

@@kusalg On the practical side, I agree, it's better to induce positivity and hopefulness in these trying times. But once climate change, wealth inequality, sustainable environment etc. is fixed, then they should go back to inducing pure existential dread.
@@romanski5811 did you say wealth inequality ? Bro please...stop with Marxist/Communist utopian dreams , this will never happen for one fundemental reason... people are different and make different decisions and have different skills and you cant equal that out no matter how hard you try because not all things have equal value period. Anyone can mow the lawn , very few can perform brain surgery. This means the value of brain surgery especially if you need it is much higher with a limited supply of capable people to do it than lawn mowers . You won't pay $100k to have lawn mowed but I bet you'd pay that for a life saving surgery. This mentality has been tried to the conclusion of the deaths of literally hundreds of millions of people. See Lenin, Stalin , Mao and Pol Pot to name a few, this BS has been tried IT DOESN'T WORK when are people going to get it through their head already? The best way to destroy and impoverish a country is to try to achieve equitable outcomes all you ever end up with is equally poor and starving people or do you not know about the Gulags and the 10 million starved in the USSR ? The very best we can achieve is equality of opportunity with a social safety net to make sure the people at the very bottom aren't left behind and suffering and I dare you to prove otherwise
@@romanski5811 which, you know, won't happen within our lifetime or maybe the next few. Oh..
This is how my father explained to me, why time traveling would be by far the most impossible and ressource consuming thing ever to be done by humanity. As you may be able to bend time, but you need to track the exact location of the earth in the universe, from where you want to time travel to.
This implies the existence of an absolute frame of reference in the universe, which is not a thing. Since it requires a time-space warp, which is basically a worhmole with an entrance and an exit, in which both are basically just modified black holes, the exit point would simply orbit all the objects in vicinity. This means unless it's at orbital velocity, it will orbit THROUGH earth. Which, since it's a black hole like physical object, means disaster for earth. Actually, having a black hole like object that big anywhere near the solar system means disaster in any case.
Yeah no, the earth is an (almost) inertial reference frame. Any time travel method that is "stationary" in space an constructed on earth would not preturbed by anything but the rotation of the earth . (and very slightly by tidal forces). Standing still only means no acceleration, no net force (no, gravity isn't a force, see General Relativity, an orbit is a "straight line"/geodesic through space time).
If the time machine were built on earth and kept the spacial reference frame of earth you'd probably only need to use it on a plane and take a parachute with you. You'd also need to do a 0g dive. This makes the reference frame locally inertial, jump into your wormhole and you'll pop out in more or less the same spot in the sky. (I'd still take an oxygen mask and jump out a few km above the ground to have some wiggle room)
I think you need to be a god or god like to do that.
No offense. You're father had no idea what he was talking about
Time travel would only be possible if you could travel in time and space.
3:51 is just about the absolute coolest way I have ever seen Earth's orbit depicted

I just graduated with a degree in physics, and my peers gave me a hard time over liking kurzgesagt. Their perspective was that kurzgesagt oversimplifies problems, and doesn't consider serious questions.
My counter-point was that kurzgesagt does extremely well at the job it tries to do: to make science approachable and fun! I think many scientists get caught up with the details of highly complex scientific questions, and this makes the scientific fields seem unapproachable. In order to keep the scientific fields alive, we desperately need public outreach efforts like kurzgesagt to get people to realize the beauty and fun involved in asking or answering scientific questions!

Apart from silly point of the video ("this is just a concept [which they mistake with illusion] so let's give you another concepts trying to disguise them as reality]") I'm amazed at their 3D but 2D looking animation.
This ties into the existential crisis I had about feeling trapped behind my eyes and knowing I would never be able to see the world from another point of view, and no one would know what it's like to feel what I feel or hear what I'm thinking, and when my eyes close, that's it. No more world. I won't suddenly switch perspectives from another "universe." It felt very, very isolating. This tied into that, because where I am, no one else will ever be, and vice versa.
I've thought about that, too! It got me more interested in philosophy of perception. Reminds me of things like the allegory of the cave which I've always found fascinating, and the Cartesian "evil demon".
There are some people who are blind and deaf. I wonder how the hell would it be to experience a consciousness like that.
I have also thought about that too. I'm happy that I'm not the only one feeling like this. I guess this is what it feels like being a conscient being or having a soul. If you think about it, the body is kinda like a physical prison for your soul that is probably made of some sort of spiritual energy that can probably be measured. Or maybe the soul is the only kind of energy that can transcend dimensions but the body is somehow the only thing the soul is binded to as long as the body(or maybe the brain) is still active or able to control the body. Otherwise brain death is kinda like the soul is not there anymore.

The Solar System is tilted in respect to the Milky Way
The Moon makes the Earth's orbit "wavy"
The Earth-Moon Barycenter is ~4700 km from Earth's core
The Solar System doesn't orbit perfectly smoothly, but instead moves up and down relative to the galactic plane ~10x per orbit
Of the existence of the Laniakea and Pices-Cetus superclusters, and galactic filaments
Kurzgesagt loves giving us existential crises while at the same time making us feel good about ourselves
He left out the planets cause the sun and in-turn the whole solar system to wobble (like he showed earth wobble due to the moon) not just up and down, but sideways too.
Right?! 😃 cool beans, eh?! 👍
What is a barycenter

Remember to keep in mind most of these 'wobbles' in the orbits are greatly exaggerated in the video to make it more comprehensible.

@@Vyker no theyre saying geniuses plural
@@ficklemoose2741 I know but in traditional English, geniuses isn't really a word. I might be wrong though..
What's complicated about the fact that position is determined by other objects and your planet has multiple orbits? Once you know what space is, you get the idea. Maybe if you were a medieval peasant, it would blow your mind, but as someone who thought about the Universe for more than 10 seconds, I already figured up and down is Earthly concept.

An interesting concept related to this is the issue of time travel. Even if time travel were to be possible, if you travelled back or forwards in time, you would also have to travel through space, as earth would be in an entirely different place, possibly millions of light years away considering the expansion of the universe. We often conceptualize time travel as if we could hop in a machine in our backyard, travel back in time to the era of dinosaurs, and see how our backyard looked back then. But you’d likely end up in an empty part of space with the Earth nowhere to be seen
Aren't there some manifestations of time travel where there is a type of transmitter and receiver? Wouldn't answer the question?
Whether or not time travel is possible isn't up for debate. We're always traveling through time and we don't know how to stop. As we continuously travel into the future, we're also continuously moving through space. It doesn't seem possible to move through space and not time or to move through time and not space. So I don't think we would have to worry about ending up in an empty part of space.
It would depend on the mechanism or technology that allowed time-jumping.
One view is that it would be like jumping off a moving car, it would carry on its way.
So if you 'step off' (travel forward or backward) you'll end up far from where the car "now" is.
It could also be that, while travelling through time, you keep/reduce your space-travel momentum.
A nifty thought-experiment is also that, if you could time travel, you would be able to get readings on whether the universe in general was 'moving' or if it is an overall static mass.
I believe that before a proper time travel machine can be made, we need a teleportation device as a component to the time machine can calculate not just temporal but even physical coordinates. Inertia would also be an issue.
You could move only in time but not in space if you calculated in avance where your position was at the moment you entered the time machine. But I think that would make it so you can't jump to arbitrarely chosen points in time, only when the planet itself is in the same relative position (or, at least) you wouldn't end too many kilometeres in the air, or worse, in space.
I've seen the change in perspective myself.
I'm born and raised in interior Alaska, but the rest of my family lives in the lower 48.
When visiting down in California or Florida, the stars and constellations change position drastically. It's fascinating to look at the stars again and trying to recognize the familiar shapes in different locations.
"You're already in the best spot you possibly could be. Right here, right now. For all you care, nothing can stop you from being right at the center of your own little universe."
Thank you Kurzgesagt

@@TechniEMW what the fuck
You guys have conveyed one of, if not my most, favorite thing about astronomy - how *everything* is relative, and how everything is always changing, even though a lot of those changes are very slow compared to human timescales. The measuring of positions in space - astrometry - is genuinely one of the most fascinating (and frustrating, haha) subfields of astronomy
I think something that will see a lot of use later in our species' timelines: 'Down' will be toward the nearest upsized gravity well you want to travel near. IE intrasystem travel, 'down' is the sun. Intragalactic, the supermassive black hole at the center. And so on.
yeah
Whenever someone says "What's up" I always respond with "Up is relative" this video is like a dream come true
Idk how every video you somehow manage to fill me with existential dread throughout but then put things in a positive light
I always feel a little sad that I can't see things on a galactic scale, but this made me consider: If there WERE beings of a scale galactic or beyond, they might never be able to see things on a 'micro' scale as 'small' as our own frame of reference is either, and maybe that would be pretty sad too. Galactic grass is always greener and all that.
😂
“Galactic grass is always greener” 😭
We're not micro
Damn rip religion
If there are gods only the lesser ones can see us then. Or even have interest
This one was both a visual marvel and a genuinely pleasant existential joy ride. Excellent job keeping it balanced between whimsical and fascinating.
Loved The Little Prince reference!
Also, there's one more frame of reference: Cosmic Background Radiation, we move at 370 km/s relative to that.
I was hoping for a CBR reference, it has some implications. Sadly, there wasn't any.
@@HarzemTube but it's in all directions. We're not moving away from it, so much as it is expanding in all directions, and we are perceivably at the center of it

The earth is moving with respect to the CBR at a speed of 390 kilometers per second. We can also specify the direction relative to the CBR."
@@dangerfly what I mean is that it's not a useful frame of reference to understand our location, since that distance would be true in every direction.
To illustrate that, imagine you are lost in an unknown city and ask for a direction. A stranger tells you that you are located 5kms away from McDonald's, but there are in fact 10 of them in various directions, all 5kms away. It tells you how far you are from them, but doesn't help you understand where you are.

@Jacko Sargs True...
@Jacko Sargs I also think that’s kinda beautiful in a way. Maybe we aren’t meant to know the universe. That doesn’t make anything else we do any less meaningful to us. (In my opinion)the fact that we can never truly understand the universe is something that makes our lives, and the universe itself more beautiful. We can try and get as much knowledge as we can, and sure if we found out we could understand the universe that would be nice, but the fact that the universe is such an indescribably large and old thing in the perspective of us, makes it cooler.
@Jacko Sargs That's what gets me, not being around long enough to share in the greater discoveries that will happen in the future. I'm working my way into a medical/bio-chem degree because I want to work in longevity to at least try have a chance to hang around a bit longer to see what else we can discover.

I've partially known this since I was a kid, and I've always wondered if you made a time machine, it likely would need to not only travel through time, but also travel perfectly through space so you don't end up millions of miles, or lightyears away from Earth in the middle of empty space.
all the more reason not to do or mess with time travel
There is no traveling through, on or in time.

3:00 no wonder summer goes by so quickly 😭
😂😂😂
Facts 😂
i know this is a joke, but it's actually flipped. winter is when we are nearly the closest to the sun, and summer is when we are the farthest. weather and other factors make earth seem really weird and more unique to me
@@phantomarcadex Yes, the Earth's axis is tilted, so people think we are furthest from the sun during winter, but it is actually the opposite. During winter, we are closest to the sun. However, because the axis is tilted, the Earth's surface area is tilted away from the sun during winter. As a result, sunlight shines on the Earth at a wider angle, so the energy received per area is weaker. Since the North Pole points away from the sun, the South Pole points toward it, meaning that for the South Pole, winter is actually summer at the same time.
Over the next six months, when it becomes summer at the North Pole, the Earth's axis points toward the sun, resulting in more energy per area. However, the axis itself isn't moving; it is the Earth's orbital motion that changes the phase.

This thought first crossed my mind as a kid watching a time travel movie where you travel in time but same placement. I got this horrific vision of dying from ending up somewhere in empty space.
I NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED THAT POSSIBILITY THANKS
Yeah, I make this argument too often.
There is a great book by Piers Anthony called 'Bearing an Hourglass'. It is a story about the human incarnation of Time.
In the book, Piers explores this idea directly. It is a great fantasy book that touches on some serious scientific conundrums. I highly recommend it and the entire Incarnations of Immortality series.
I don't think so - because the next question is "relative to what" and the counter-intuative answer is "there is no what - it's all relative!". So as long as you were moving relative to the time machine itself, or maybe even you yourself, you'll be fine. In other words - if you consider the earth moving - then you yourself are moving as you enter the "time machine" (whatever incarnation that takes" - therefore you'd keep your momentum - like the portals in Portal - but through time, not space.
That's why before we start the time machine we set the destination's time and astronomical coordinate relative to earth's predicted position
The craziest thing is, that despite feeling and actually being so tiny, every human is in fact closer on the size scale to the largest object in the universe, than to the smallest one. There is a larger amount of quarks in each of our bodies than there is stars in our galaxy alone. So, hypothetically speaking, it would be easier and less energy-consuming to enlarge a human to the size fo the observable universe than to the size of a planck unit. Just smth to think about.
I think about that with increasing frequency each year. I'm a bio teacher and teach a lesson early in the year on the scale of the universe and life and such. The average eukaryotic cell seems to be close to the "middle" in scale. We really are planet sized blobs of individual living things working together.
Thats assuming we've found the smallest. It makes just as much sense for the universe to be infinitely big as the parts that make it to be infinitely small.
@@lew-ejones-ayres5088 Clearly neither you or the original poster know much.
1. Quarks are point particles.
2. There are more Up and Down quarks which comprise the protons and neutrons that comprise the atoms that comprise the molecules that comprise the acids and proteins that comprise your cells that comprise your body and you than: planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae in our universe combined.
Simplification: you are made of more quarks than there are stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, pieces of ice, and rather every celestial body in the observable universe combined. So this comment is dumb as hell and grasps literally nothing.
Edit: Ok Kurtz viewers are either 12 year olds, scientifically illiterate, or just not smart to any capacity lmao.
@@lew-ejones-ayres5088 also assuming the observable universe is all there is, but how big the actual universe really is is anyone's guess
i'd also like to see the math, because the largest black hole (that we've found so far) is
1.313×10^32 kg
and the up quark weighs around
3.583x10^--30 kg
so ~80kg seems to be a little closer to the up quark than the black hole
We're also pretty much right in the middle (geometric mean, that is) in terms of life on Earth.
Oh my gosh The Little Prince reference at 2:29. I love all the little Easter eggs they put in their videos.

This is one of the reasons why I think time travel could be problematic. Where you start from won't be the same location in space at a different time. Say you're in your time machine in a lab and you want to time travel, you rewind or fast forward and end up somewhere in space or in the centre of a planet. To stay in the same place when time changes you'd need an absolute reference point and not something relative like parked in a lab
But space and time are connected through spacetime. If you move to a different time back you'll also move to a different space (thr chance of it being the same space as you started is probably so small that its not ever possible)
But because there are no absolute positions and locations, the only way that a "location in space" makes sense is with respect to some reference point. Which is totally arbitrary. And it being arbitrary, who is to say that your lab is an incorrect reference point? You time travel and stay in exact same position with reference to that reference point, i.e. you stay in the lab.

It also depends whether you are moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light, how masive you are, some other factors I probably forgot which can all influence the "freefall" path you take through curved spacetime.

It’s always somewhat surreal to me that we’re simultaneously moving at 1,000 miles per hour, 486,000 miles per hour, and 1.3 million miles per hour.
We're moving at all speeds between 0 and 670 million mph, depending on who you ask. But that's the universal speed limit :D
That's somewhat more upsetting coming from you, Dr Bright.

This is a great example of "the grass is greener on the other side." From your perspective, up is away from Earth, and from another Earth is just a grain of sand picked up by a crashing wave. None of those perspectives are wrong, just seen from different angles.
Just because someone sees your life one way doesn't make your view of your life wrong. You might have a bad grade on a test, and someone elsewhere is struggling to eat. Just because someone else has a more difficult challenge doesn't make what is happening to you less real.
5:00 That is beautiful. A mathematical dance that entire solar system makes as it travels throughout a galaxy. Now imagine all other star systems joining in with their own movements.
It really does feel like all of existence is part of one giant dance. It really puts into perspective how interconnected everything is
@@am5ters504Being a space enthusiast and an amateur dance practitioner, I deeply enjoyed your characterization of the Universe as the cosmically deepest and most plural dance performance ever. Great to see dance is everywhere.
The lesson of illusory perspective is so well described. Everything is an assumed reality from our frame of mind. But grander scale becomes more varied. Even if it is accurate in one perspective it can still be challenged in another. Inspiring!
it's all... relative. and bigger the scale, the more existential dread for us mortals
Everything is an assumed reality - couldn't have said it better. really makes you think what the overall goal is considering at some point the universe will be completely dark due to its rapid expansion (as far as we're aware at least in this 'illusory perspective') I like to think humans are temporary and we'll somehow build the stage for the next 'beings' but obviously this is just a wild thought. As always this channel never ceases to amaze me
I've always loved how patterns repeat over scale, the planets are like electrons, the stars are the nucleus, the solar systems are atoms, the galaxies are compounds together creating giant structures which are like proteins and then those proteins float around aimlessly waiting to collide with something and change shape and create a new shape or two different ones. The universe has an incredibly slow metabolism of motion in comparison to the proteins that mimic it. Much like a large animal has a very slow metabolism and a small animal has a very fast metabolism. Our universe just might be an infinite fractal
That model of the atom looks like the orbits of a planetary systems because we (well... Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913) made it that way. In reality, the parts of an atom are more wobbly-spinny than the Bohr model shows.
Sorry, but that model of atomic structure isn't really correct - it's pre-quantum theory. Electrons aren't little globes orbiting a central 'sun' - they're probability clouds expressed best as a set of mathematical matrices... What seems like a nice analogy breaks down as soon as you know more about atoms and sub-atomic particles.
We might be cells in a huge animal…
Sadly this analogy is far from being true... Quantum physics and relativity hate each other.

I told them it would really have to be a "time and place machine" because we're flying through the universe so fast that moving through time even a millisecond means we'd end up in empty space if there weren't a way to also say where you wanted to go.
some great food for thought! :o
Imagine if you had the power to completely stop all absolute motion of an object and fix it to one spatial point in the universe. That would be an AWESOME power.
So, in other words, a "Time And Relative Dimension In Space"? :D
In fact, a time machine would really just be a teleporter. Moving through space instantly (faster than the speed of light) is time travel, so if you could teleport instantly to where you were, that'll do it!
@@SplendidFellow That is a good point. I can't even begin to imagine the maths and engineering that would go into a beast of a machine like that. God damn.
There's a video made by Vsauce explaining this same subject, they just didn't go that far on the galactic scale, and the fact that Vsauce does incredibly good videos and so does Kurzgesagt even on similar subjects just shows the amount of creativity and talent these kind of creators have. The possibilities are quite big and I feel really fortunate that I get to watch it for free.
Also I've been meaning to buy some merchandise for a while now, just need to choose wisely!
Can you pass me the link of that video
Ye is there a link you can place here?
as often as this channel gives me existential crises, i really appreciate how this video comes back at the end and says *because* it doesn't matter, *I* can *make* it matter.
They need more philosophy vids
The animation has to be appreciated. This insane concept is difficult to understand without these brilliant animations
This was stated in the Islamic Holy Quran 1400 years ago
Surah Yasin 36:38
وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّۢ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ ٣٨
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
@@ajdj7834 Shut up 💀
Props to the animators and story board makers and everyone else involved, this must've been a bit mind boggling to visualise.
there are multiple animators, indeed theres a whole team behind, i suggest u to see "how a Kurzgesagt it's made"
Props to Story Board makers since Animator just make it move
@@lemon0742 Thank you, I've corrected it.
3:50 The way the Earth moves around in this moment with the clouds hovering above and all that is one of the best things I’ve seen on this channel. It’s incredibly well made
I agree. Very cool 3D visuals
I've blown a few minds by walking friends through the thought experiment of imagining an empty universe, without any frame of reference, then imagining a single object in that space without any way of comparing it's attributes to anything else. It's a good way of beginning to explain relativity.
Well it would bend space and time to a very small extent unless it's something like a black hole

"and let's try to find out where you are, right now."
That sounded oddly threatening
Of all the videos I have seen trying to visually represent this topic, this one has been hands down the best one yet. It perfectly describes the motion of everything from planet to galaxy. Well done 👍. This channel is always impressing me in new and awesome ways. Even things that I thought that I had a firm grasp on, after seeing one here on the same subject leaves me with a better understanding and often new information. I also love how these videos can be watched by kids up to adults alike and everyone can take something from it. Impressing.
Man, the music, the visuals, the voice of the narrator, it feels like an collective effort that delivered 101%.
Love the channel. They always make sure to do a great job. Are u Brazilian?
This is one of the things I think people don't consider when they're talking about whether time travel should be possible or not. If you were to travel through time, even just a nanosecond, with the earth scooting along through space at a million km/h would have you falling from an unsurvivable height back to earth. If you went back or forward in time by 1 second, you'd appear out in space somewhere behind or in front of the earth, unless you move through time AND space, and I think if you were able to open a portal to 1 second ago, you'd just be sucked through it into the vacuum of space.
Good thing space and time are connected!
yes because everything always needs to be so realistic in sci-fi. People shooting at each other with laser blasters and swinging plasma swords hot enough to melt your hands, but it's time travel that always gets the criticism.
@@doigt6590 because time travel is strictly probihited by the GR, while the other things are not directly against basic principles of our theories.
@@reginaldsafety6090 yes, they form a 4-dimentional manifold (spacetime). But if the time machine moves you only along the time axis, your other 3 coordinates (coordinates in space) remain unchanged. Therefore you end up being far away from the Earth, since the Earth is moving along a much more complicated curve in the manifold (not only along the time axis).
I remember a Sci-fi show from years back where when they travelled back in time they appeared in orbit.
One of the things I love most about this channel is that it always talks about science in the most poetic way possible!
This has BY FAR my absolute favourite animation out of everything you’ve ever done. Seeing GRIS on the wall at 0:20 and The Little Prince at 2:31 put such a massive grin on my face.
The joker going down the stairs and the classic windows background are there with Gris!
Also at the very start there's a Garfield clock
And right next to it is the movie Poster to Moonlight!
There’s a Black Lotus that is visible at 4:21 too!
I love gris best game I have ever played
2:31 Kurzgesagt has some really good references. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry himself would not have believe his creation would end up on a network of moving images 80 years later, but he definitely would be proud.
I thought of it immediately! Le Petit Prince!
Jes this is so cool!
Yessss someone noticed🔥🔥🔥
@@tonyxx4514 I was wondering if someone noticed!
@@jvniper.v yes💪🔥
I'm just having a huge smile like a little kid getting candy. The educational videos you guys bring out makes me so excited and inspired, while the accompanying animations just mesmerize me. Thank you so much for all the effort everyone in Kurzgesagt!
Brain candy!! lol
What is this crap, 1080p is this year 2010??!! And also that Ni - -x- 😵💫 g watching the video as "you" is this a mfkin joke?!
"But it gets worse"
-Kurzgesagt 2022
I love how Kurzgesagt always takes me on rides where I question my existence. Great job guys!
honestly, while being more existence-questioning than most of the kurzgesagt videos, this was one of the least existence-questioning of the existence-questioning videos.
A cartoon, causing people to question their existence......
Programming?
I question my existence even when not watching Kurzgesagt 😀😀😀
@@annoy4nce648 that's facts.
I've always thought about this question, I commonly brought it up to my friends. Most looked at me like I was crazy. But this really does make me feel a little less alone, I love these kinda questions. WHERE THE HECK ARE WE? lmao. Where is the universe located, in what medium and how? What an incomprehensible thought. Thanks for reading
Wait till you learn the actual implications of this, which is Einstein's theory of special relativity
@@greatzamboni1927 the dude was an absolute G.
I tend not to have casual conversation about things out of our "life" like universe
And spatial expansion wasn't even factored in/visualized in this video.
Your not alone
If you would have been a teacher while I was in college, maybe I would have enjoyed studying lol
People say things like this, but videos like this are pop science. They're entertaining and they garner millions of views, but to actually contribute in even the smallest way in such fields requires mathematics and that's truly where you lose people.
To enjoy studying, you have to have a genuine interest the topic at hand. No matter how the info is presented
If you're needing entertaining videos to study then you're not truly interested in that subject anyways.
Why the fuck did you go to college if you didnt like studying jesus christ
only birds should be used, if you put a black woman you will have to represent everyone soon enough
STOP THIS NOW, UNSUBBED
The Voiceover, the animation, the visualisation... everything in this video is just too insane...🔥
If only we could build a spaceship that could hold the entire human race, have gravity, food, beaches, and mountains and have an energy source for a billion years. Make it travel at say about a million km/h. Imagine the things the human race would collectively see.... Oh wait.
Lol, can't wait for the Kaplan thruster to take this solar system on the road!
Isn't that spaceship already exist?
Beaches are a must
I mean considering we're moving with everything else, if we were to make that and go in the opposite direction of our solar system, we might actually see a lot more (and crash into something and die)
Don't we already have that tho
There’s something about this video that’s like especially great. The visuals, sound design, pacing, the writing, it’s all amazing! Keep up the amazing work Kurzgesagt team!
Survey-Question (just go with it, please): Wouldnt oyu prefer it if we had Leaders who know the Internet but didnt embarass-themselves inside-it - or is that just me? I mean, we live in the Internet-Age and so much Data is available+understood.
It's not like Rain was understood by People 10000 Years ago:
For Example (and just an example!) Prisons.
We know USA is objectively worse at knowing how Prisons have to work...
When people asked me "What's up?" I used to answer: "Away from the central gravitational point of any body in space you feel a gravitational acceleration towards.". I'm glad to see that definition is still valid.
I usually said "the sky" but your answer is way better. Stealin' it right now.
🤣🌎
To be honest, I had this exact same thought when I was randomly thinking in the shower. Things make so much more sense when you change your perspective to being relative to everything.
