It is 4 am. I am still upset about the argument that I had yesterday afternoon with an arrogant and very rude secratary of my daughter's pediatrician. She had been rude for the past few weeks , on the phone and in person. I had to put her in place. But I was more upset myself. By listenning to David, and watching this video, I have calmed down a lot. I feel the universe is so very very big, that my little feeling and mistake, can be absorbed easily with no dent created on it. Thanks David
I feel like I almost cry when I watch this .... a sense of lack, too good to describe it in words. imagine how future generations will travel through space from galagsy to galagsy .... what lucky they will be. Thanks for upload Mr.Butler
What a treat after a long shift at work! Time for my drive home listening to classical music, and the best voice in media next to Peter Cullen. Thank you for what you do!
We are in a space ship with David touring the universe. The tour guide is phenamenal. It reminds me of a tour in Vietnam many years ago, by an ex Viet Kong soldier as the tour guide. He was so wise and made me feel insignificant.
Same here...It seriously is favorite UA-cam channel! Tied with SEA and *slightly* better than Astrum. You should check them out if you aren’t already subscribed to them. Both are excellent channels. Astrum -> ua-cam.com/users/astrumspace SEA -> ua-cam.com/users/SEA1997
Only slightly better than Astrum? C'mon. Astrum is S, maybe SS tier, but David Butler is SSS tier with no other exclusively physics or astronomy education channels on UA-cam even approaching his quality. But Astrum is definitely one of the other best channels on this subject out there, no doubt. I just can't agree with putting SEA on David butlers level. Equal with Astrum? Oh yeah. But equating them to this channel is like equating Karpov to Kasparov in the mid 90s.
Seriously my favorite as well. Excellent. Anyone kno any background on this great human? I've deduced hes a college professor... Bc im a genius with the power to read vid titles
Thanks for another well-explained pearl of cosmological knowledge. I highly appreciate your generosity in sharing so well your deep understanding of the sky. Best and warmest regards from the UK. Anthony P. S. Edited to say, I'm pleased to listen "Cavalleria Rusticana" in the background; a fine choice worth of a truly connoisseur.
This is some of the most amazing stuff our civilisation has ever witnessed... we just take it for granted as if it’s nothing and no big deal... we should treasure stuff like this...it’s worth more than all the gold and gems combined.
In case you don't hear it enough. Thank you David Butler. You have the most concise channel I've ever seen. It's my go to when I show people how the universe works. I assume you do this because you love it. You have the time in the world to put forward in the channel. But I want you to know that it's incredibly valuable to a lot of us. I've spread your name around as best as I can. Your video series is just epic. No other way to say. It is in fact the best series on the state of astrophysics and physics in general. You don't have everything but pretty much. It's a concise layout for the Lehman. Or I should say somebody with a little experience they can understand even the Lehman version.
Fantastically done video with the images and music and narration. I have watched it many times already. I also use it when I want to take a nap or if I have trouble falling asleep at night.
David, I have been enjoying your detailed description narratives for years now, your awesome ! ! the latest,, one of the best so far. , Cool, Calm and Clear like always , I agree with several other comments...Medicine to the Mind... thank you for what you do !!!
This is all just so mind blowing, so incredible, especially at 10:54 and all of it so beautifully narrated by David as with all of his uploads. Thank you so much for these magical journeys through our magnificent universe.
Just started getting into astrophotography and captured my first few galaxies around the big dipper, and tonight realised the virgo supercluster is a thing, wow how big the universe is... its like the huble deep field image is every part of the sky.
The perceived "small-ness" and insignificance do not preclude the mind from understanding events, structures and laws dozens and dozens orders of magnitude - both ways, bigger and smaller - than ourselves. The Universe has a rather ecleptic construct around the concept of scale - subsequently the feeling of being too small or insignificant is certainly out of place. Going further, I'm certain the Author - Mr. Butler - by the way he named his cosmological "Opus Magna" here on UA-cam, almost certainly share the same understanding and application of the concept of "scale". The way we follow and understand the Universe's processes, and not our size in them, is what really counts.
You should read my long pedantic rave above on the current state of humans from around 150,000 years. You are tiny and insignificant compared to the reality of the universe BUT you are unique in yourself and to all other life forms we will discover given time. Whats the point when no gods actually exist and we are just a long random trillion to one result after the dinosaurs? We now have the entire universe to explore and find others and share what they have learned. Waterfalls km's high? Mountains the same , just as Olympus mons on Mars is many time Everests height. Gold/ silver ect so plentiful that they use it to build like we use concrete? Our own massive asteroid belt will be mined in the next 50 years and will have tons of titanium and other rares so just imagine whats out there in quadrillions of planets and their solar systems which we already see are common. All we do here on Earth is fight over Gods from days when man was ignorant and didnt understand anything. Yeah, Humans are still living in the dark ages?
Contrarily I think we should all feel extremely large and significant with the realization of our rarity as a species and even as an event in this grand reality. Amen?
I wish and I hope these Virgo Supercluster will even be subdivided into groups. As of now, it is just an endless iteration of numerical galaxies that leads someone to somnambulism.
Why are there these structures? Why are there these galaxies? What is the purpose of all these complex huge things? I dont think any one can answer this question ever. Amazing
Hello Mr. Butler. Are you excited as I am for the Webb telescope?!?! I've always loved the celestial bodies but you've turned me into a real nerd for them. I say that with admiration lol. I just sat on a boat gazing up at the southern sky in North Carolina. Anyway, love the videos!!! Stay safe.
Stellar-mass black holes are the collapsed cores of dead massive stars. The two last substances they were was iron, then neutronium; then the matter crushed itself to a point.
I don't think so. Black holes are normal matter, just a lot of it. Theoretical dark matter is not. It is apparently non-interactive. Then again, astros came up with the idea because it made their equations add up, so it's a bit epycycle-y for my taste. If the choice is between existing theories being wrong and 90% of the (extremely convenient) matter in the Universe being undetectable in all wavelenghts, I think I know which one I'm gonna stick with for the time being.
Trying to somewhat comprehend the immensity of it all, every time i watch this video. So incredibly fascinating how there is structure in the way galaxy’s are grouped together. The fact that our galaxy is insignificant among the billions of galaxy’s is completely mind blowing.The chances of no other lifeforms out there seem astronomically small. Without refering to a ‘god’, as i feel that is an personification of something we created, and closes us off to expanding our viewpoint, in our quest for answers. Could the universe and all matter come to being by a ‘coincidence’?. If there is somehow a creator or intelligence behind everything we see, what would it look like?. What is beyond our visible universe?, are there multiverses all around us?. Would it be even possible for space itself to end?.Or is it endless, as there is no physical end possible?.Too many questions. David your video’s are incredible, and your voice was made for what you do.
Even though there are trillions of planets, very few can support life. Even if they can support life we don't as yet know what are the probabilities of life forming on them but I'd say it would be some astronomical probability that makes the universe look small vis a vis life forming. The most analogous planet to ours is right next to us and there is no life there. I personally don't buy into the current theory of evolution. It's just too pithy and fully random, even the natural selection part is random because there is no guarantee that the correct environment will appear to act on those random mutations. I'm not religious. I particularly dislike Abrahamic religions.
My family is Roman Catholic, but I'm not that religious. So I like to personify the cosmos in a way that makes us feel less alone. We are just another spiral galaxy living with our neighbors and every other galaxy in the universe. Assuming that most spiral galaxies have a similar upbringing to get to the state they are when we see them, there could be other intelligent life capable and probable of having our same thought process. So the best we can do to feel not alone is to assume we aren't.
100 million light years means u need 100 million years to cross it end to end at speed of light, that is if the universe is not expanding...still cant imagine how big the universe is... How many more intelligent civilizations out there.
The one constant is motion, objects spiraling and objects on predictable orbits of chemicals and matter all recognisable, we can view the distances but we miss the details, like beings that may live there.
Yes...thank you very much such as beautiful video for sharing with us.💓💓💓 I remembered architecture and creator of this giant galaxies star's and nebula's...etc he shows his science, or shortly himself.. And i remembered this words of him: " He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw? Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out."
All the galaxies have the spiral structure with a common spinning direction either clockwise or counter-clockwise (?) They are the "star-recycling funnels" where old stars are melted, compressed, annihilated through the central black hole to be condensed (?) into new stars in the other side.
My safe haven from the news on Earth. A hot shower for my polluted mind.
Nice metaphor.
Well said! That voice..oh man, i swear it reaches directly brain, no ears needed. Thank you for your contribution mr. Butler!
What a wonderful 29 minutes. Medicine to the mind. This video... A wonderful gift.
It is 4 am.
I am still upset about the argument that I had yesterday afternoon with an arrogant and very rude secratary of my daughter's pediatrician.
She had been rude for the past few weeks , on the phone and in person.
I had to put her in place.
But I was more upset myself.
By listenning to David, and watching this video, I have calmed down a lot.
I feel the universe is so very very big, that my little feeling and mistake, can be absorbed easily with no dent created on it.
Thanks David
The exact situation happened to me this week
This is the BEST Astronomy instruction on UA-cam. Period. Thank you!
I still can’t comprehend how big our universe is
I don't think anyone honestly can. It's just mind blowing and awe inspiring.
Imagine a banana. Its bigger than that. Youre welcome
You’re not alone, it’s mindblowing
I don't know if anyone can;
No one really can.
Perhaps THE finest channel on UA-cam, with stellar (pun intended) content, presentation, and MUSIC!
I feel like I almost cry when I watch this .... a sense of lack, too good to describe it in words. imagine how future generations will travel through space from galagsy to galagsy .... what lucky they will be.
Thanks for upload Mr.Butler
The actual size of the universe is so mind boggling
I love this series so much, thanks for the great content Mr. Butler.
Thank You again Mr.Butler . Touring the Universe with you is both an Honor & a Pleasure .
What a great voice for these wonderful narrations. UA-cam treasure!
His voice is beautifully hypnotic
What a treat after a long shift at work! Time for my drive home listening to classical music, and the best voice in media next to Peter Cullen. Thank you for what you do!
"'Average' supermassive black hole." I lost all sense of scale, but that's why I watch this channel.
We are in a space ship with David touring the universe.
The tour guide is phenamenal.
It reminds me of a tour in Vietnam many years ago, by an ex Viet Kong soldier as the tour guide.
He was so wise and made me feel insignificant.
this is fantastic, thanks David Butler for all the content, its so wonderful
This voice calms me to the core. Luv it!
Yay, an upload from my favorite UA-cam Channel!
Same here...It seriously is favorite UA-cam channel! Tied with SEA and *slightly* better than Astrum.
You should check them out if you aren’t already subscribed to them. Both are excellent channels.
Astrum -> ua-cam.com/users/astrumspace
SEA -> ua-cam.com/users/SEA1997
Only slightly better than Astrum? C'mon. Astrum is S, maybe SS tier, but David Butler is SSS tier with no other exclusively physics or astronomy education channels on UA-cam even approaching his quality.
But Astrum is definitely one of the other best channels on this subject out there, no doubt. I just can't agree with putting SEA on David butlers level. Equal with Astrum? Oh yeah. But equating them to this channel is like equating Karpov to Kasparov in the mid 90s.
@Leo Staley
I guess to each his own, but imho I’d say...
1) Carl Sagan’s Cosmos
2) David Butler
3) SEA
4) Astrum
Seriously my favorite as well. Excellent.
Anyone kno any background on this great human?
I've deduced hes a college professor... Bc im a genius with the power to read vid titles
@Jimi Steenland Sr.
He talks about his background in this video...

Thanks for another well-explained pearl of cosmological knowledge.
I highly appreciate your generosity in sharing so well your deep understanding of the sky.
Best and warmest regards from the UK.

P. S. Edited to say, I'm pleased to listen "Cavalleria Rusticana" in the background; a fine choice worth of a truly connoisseur.
I love the music in the background
This is some of the most amazing stuff our civilisation has ever witnessed... we just take it for granted as if it’s nothing and no big deal... we should treasure stuff like this...it’s worth more than all the gold and gems combined.
The only channel on UA-cam that makes my tv and room into a planetarium. Awesome
very peaceful and informative. not an adderall-fueled space rant like you find on so many other channels.
Aah, the choice of music 👍‼️
This guys slightly aged HAL9000 voice and exposition adds so much. The cold unfeeling disgorging of pure knowledge always has a flavor all its own.
I love that he's talking about future segments :)
I appreciate how I can hear the background music distinctly without it muffling the voice-over. Great video! Thank you.
I love this guy
In case you don't hear it enough. Thank you David Butler. You have the most concise channel I've ever seen. It's my go to when I show people how the universe works.

Fantastically done video with the images and music and narration. I have watched it many times already. I also use it when I want to take a nap or if I have trouble falling asleep at night.
David. I can watch this over and over. Super informative and super relaxing. Thank you for the effort that has gone into all your vids. Amazing
Love your content! Thanks again Mr. Butler!
David, I have been enjoying your detailed description narratives for years now, your awesome ! ! the latest,, one of the best so far. , Cool, Calm and Clear like always , I agree with several other comments...Medicine to the Mind... thank you for what you do !!!
This is all just so mind blowing, so incredible, especially at 10:54 and all of it so beautifully narrated by David as with all of his uploads. Thank you so much for these magical journeys through our magnificent universe.
Thanks for the teachings, Mr David! :D
Woohoo! A long one! I love your long videos. I always learn something and you explain things in a way I understand. Space is awesome...
You help all of us die hard enthusiasts yet novice astronomers the best help in deciphering exactly what we are looking at! Thank you David.
I love falling asleep to this.
love this series hope to see more 20-30 minute how far away is it vids.
Thx. Been waiting with anticipation.
Thank you, Mr Butler, you have a great voice.
Fascinating, definitely so beautiful.
Just started getting into astrophotography and captured my first few galaxies around the big dipper, and tonight realised the virgo supercluster is a thing, wow how big the universe is... its like the huble deep field image is every part of the sky.
Wow, absolutely wow. Stunning images with stellar explanation and narration. Please do one on quasars one day! Thank you Mr. Butler!
Absolutely love this channel. Keep it up!
Been looking forward to this since ive seen the mini-vid uploads
Perhaps the best space video I've seen on UA-cam.
Great job as always David! These are just amazing the clusters in our universe. And size and area has no value
These galaxies breathtakingly beautiful
Makes me feel very small and very insignificant.

More magnificent and inspirational than ever, thanks so much for this video. But overwhelming too! Big, it's all too big.
I wish and I hope these Virgo Supercluster will even be subdivided into groups. As of now, it is just an endless iteration of numerical galaxies that leads someone to somnambulism.
I truely love these wonder abounds
thank you so much Mr Buttler ❤️ from Germany with Love
JUST BRILLANT
At 15:44 I thought it was just a bad washed out image then I realized that it's a galaxy that he was talking about.
i watch these high
Love your videos David 🤝 thanks for the top quality content
I really enjoy your videos and your speaking tone which is steady and clear! Informative and relaxing 😊 I also love the music, perfect choice
Always excellent videos and commentary as usual 😊
David Butler - Master of the Cosmos
You're the best.
David Butler, your videos are informative & a very nice escape from this reality. Thank you.
Imagine if they eventually discover that the expansion is part of a rhythm that also contracts. That would put an end to the big bang theory.
Why are there these structures?
Why are there these galaxies?
What is the purpose of all these complex huge things?
I dont think any one can answer this question ever.
Amazing
Very nice channel indeed
Nice!
Awsome. Ive been looking forward to this one
Hello Mr. Butler. Are you excited as I am for the Webb telescope?!?! I've always loved the celestial bodies but you've turned me into a real nerd for them. I say that with admiration lol. I just sat on a boat gazing up at the southern sky in North Carolina. Anyway, love the videos!!! Stay safe.
This is like a mind massage.
You are a mindoprachtor.
I want to leave this planet and travel to one of these right now.
The ultimate information about Local Group .. AMAZING 💖
This will be on the test next week!
Could black holes be clumps of dark matter somehow bound together?
I guess with that question you can tell I have no formal training in this field.
Stellar-mass black holes are the collapsed cores of dead massive stars. The two last substances they were was iron, then neutronium; then the matter crushed itself to a point.
I don't think so. Black holes are normal matter, just a lot of it. Theoretical dark matter is not. It is apparently non-interactive. Then again, astros came up with the idea because it made their equations add up, so it's a bit epycycle-y for my taste. If the choice is between existing theories being wrong and 90% of the (extremely convenient) matter in the Universe being undetectable in all wavelenghts, I think I know which one I'm gonna stick with for the time being.
I love Hubbell's pics of galaxies. Its amazing the stars look close in photos but really r light years apart
TOP video resolution quality and explaining...thnks a lot you all Grandmasetrs !!

Looking at the photographs is so great
You have THE best astronomy videos on the net, good sir. THE.
#THE
#🤘
Schubert, the Universe and Mr Butler = heady stuff.
100 million light years means u need 100 million years to cross it end to end at speed of light, that is if the universe is not expanding...still cant imagine how big the universe is...
How many more intelligent civilizations out there.
How miniscule we are,yet so concious.
Yo my dude. I freaking love you my guy!!! Please keep up your videos. I learn so much. !!!! Thank you
This is the best channel.
Wonderful presentation . Thankyou .
Thank u
Been waiting for a new video like this.
Beautiful pictures
There are more galaxies then people on earth. Let that sink in.
Im watching this from PA-99-N2 in the Andromeda galaxy So celestial greetings one and all
Fascinating, just Fascinating.
The one constant is motion, objects spiraling and objects on predictable orbits of chemicals and matter all recognisable, we can view the distances but we miss the details, like beings that may live there.
Thank you
Very beautiful, more more galaxy its look very beautiful, what a large our universe, our earth is nothing in universe
Your videos are amazing
Big respect 2 u Mr butler;
Thank you sir....
Yes...thank you very much such as beautiful video for sharing with us.💓💓💓
I remembered architecture and creator of this giant galaxies star's and nebula's...etc he shows his science, or shortly himself..
And i remembered this words of him:
" He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?
Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out."
Awesome.
Great video. Thanks for doing it.

Not likely.
