Kurzgesagt is lying to you, in every video, even in this one. Because our videos distill very complex subjects into flashy ten minute videos and unfortunately, reality is, well, complicated. The question of how we deal with that, is central to what we do on this channel and something we think about a lot.

Hey Everybody.
So as we said in the video, simplification and science communication go hand in hand - It is a balancing act that we take very seriously. As the media landscape has become more and more divided and fragmented in the last few years, we thought we just need to talk to you guys about it and just tell you what we think about it and how we handle it. In the spirit of transparency and just because some of you might want to know our approach.
Science communication means that you make a selection of what and how to tell it. That you have to decide where to draw the line between details and simplifications to make a complicated subject understandable. We are still figuring out the best way to do this and are learning along the way. And we are able to do this because of you - Kurzgesagt is fundamentally fan funded.
If you want to support us on our journey to figure this science communication thing out you can check out our shop, where we make scienc-y products designed with love and produced with care: kgs.link/shop-155 We love bringing little pieces of knowledge into your home or classroom that inspire you to learn more about the universe in a little more detail. With every purchase you directly support what we do on this channel.
Ok! Let us know what you think about this video and our approach! And what else you want to know about the weird world of science on UA-cam.
Thank you for watching and reading! - Philipp

I'm an Engineering student and you ABSOLUTELY have inspired me further in STEM. Best channel on youtube, I wish your videos went longer. Brilliant team of people. Respect.
Brilliant team of people? They're corrupt billionaire propaganda channel that push ideas that enrich the likes of Bill Gates
All their "research" is fraudulent, the "scientists" they cite are employees of Gates' companies, they all push his agenda.
I trust someone who says “this is my answer, it may be wrong” far better than someone who says “this is THE answer, don’t bother checking”
Can't really emphasize how much I agree and find this important. Opening your eyes to positive skepticism is a thing of CULTURE and that's where it's all based of. If the culture endorses people who blindly decide they're right, that very same culture is demolishing scientific principles and obfuscating truth itself.
The same problem still arises if people don't actually check
@@momaaleksov1282 and for a bit of irony while social media allows us to discuss this problem, it also caused it in the first place

"The reality is well.. C O M P L I C A T E D" - at this point this is utterly the most Kurzgesagt thing you can ever hear.
Nah I’d say it’s, “the universe does not care if we understand it”
I'm personally fond of the "And sometimes we blow stuff up just to see what happens" line.
Another kurzgesagt line: "but we'll cover this topic in another video"

The channel name is “Kurzgesagt” after all, which means “simply/shortly said”, so I think you’re doing great.
Edit: wow 🤩 thanks for so many likes!
Or more like "in a nutshell..." That's the reason the English version is named like that.
They should rename the channel to whatever is Deutsch for "duck killer"
@@christhompson4630 that would be Enten Mörder 😂
@@christhompson4630 Killer is an anglicism in german, so you can leave that part as is. Duck translates to “Ente“. So depending on wether you like the word killer or nor you could say „Entenkiller“ (cause germans love to write combinations of words together and the extra n implies the plural of ducks) or „Ententöter“ for a „more german“ version.
@@kayburcky7146 yeah but it doesn't really fit either, afterall "in a nutshell" is a weird combination of words ....what does a nutshell have to do with something spoken in a simplified or short manner ? Absolutely nothing really, and i don't think comparing "kurzgesagt to "in a nutshell' Is the proper way to translate it simply because the whole nutshell thing is unique to the English language.
I've downloaded tons of your videos to watch with my 3 brothers and they understand it because it's simple and educational,we love it for that..
We hope you keep making videos.❤
“And we’ll do it again” 💀
"Do not confuse the description with reality" "The universe doesn't care if we understand it." This is good stuff.
the universe does care, it just can't force us to understand it. it's all conscious.
Indeed. And their classic catchphrase: "Well… it's complicated."
If only everybody were able to understand what lies (!?) under that, I think we would be living in a better, more humane world.
@@doubleAAbatteries689 I'll never understand why people project human qualities onto the universe as a singular entity, we don't even know what consciousness is. It's kind of like seeing a monkey baring its teeth and thinking it's a smile, you're looking at everything through a human lense, forcing qualities on independent processes and things we may never fully grasp
The Universe is somewhat rude.
@@religiousmilk8612 Because we are the result of universe, it's mirrored. I'm not giving a human quality to the universe, I'm giving a universal quality to humans. Consciousness isn't just nothing.
“The universe does not care if we understand it”
That’s, strangely, kinda comforting
and kind of terrifying
That's because we are alone in the universe and nobody cares about our wellbeing other than ourselves, individually. Also, we are doomed to try understand the universe, limited by our own human capabilities. And that's not comforting.
@@Thom35UO that's just a total negative outlook into life, what uf instead we say we are the first beings to be aware and have a curiosity to understand life as a whole and we shall build the road for those who come after us.
i dont care if they lies (the channel) they care about us
But we're a part of the universe, and we kind of care to be understood... Consciousness is weird like that :D
“ we’ve lied to you in every video, even this one!” Great now I’m having a stroke trying to comprehend this paradox
“If they lie to us all the time, and say they’re lying… maybe they’re actually not lying? Because they’re lying about lying… 🤔”
"The universe doesn't care if we understand it." Important message for those who are looking for easy answers (and only accept easy answers) on complex problems.

There is a difference between lying and simplifying
I've been watching a lot of Kurzgesagt videos lately and I definitely find them inspiring. Our bodies, the world, and the universe are so fascinating and when I watch videos about our past and future it makes me feel like perhaps I'm not the insignificant speck that nihilist thought has originally led me to believe. I'd like to think that, however small it may be, perhaps I'm contributing to the future of humanity. That makes me want to try even harder in life and reach my potential. I don't imagine I'm the only one who feels this way when watching your videos. Thanks Kurzgesagt.
"The universe doesn't care if you understand it."
Wow, even in a video that was more about the channel itself than any particular scientific topic you still managed to sneak in a little existential crisis.
It also made an educated jab at anti-vaxxers, which is extremely topical right now.
The video is both about why the channel's videos are oversimplifying scientific and complex topics while at the same time explaining how it is important not to get too overconfident in knowledge about a given topic.
At the end of the day. A person is not a Ph.D. expert just because they've watched a
Kurzgesagt video and listened to a Joe Rogan podcast.
@@Thor.Jorgensen I feel attacked lmaooo
dont forget the channel slogan.
actually the universe does care if we understand it because we care and because we care that means the universe cares because we ARE the universe. Boom.
what about the universe not caring is "existential crisis" related?
“Learning often doesn’t feel like fun.”
Honestly learning is so much more fun now I’m out of school. Now I can’t stop feeding my brain with great content like this.
I’m homeschooled. And my mom told me I should learn Spanish, so I did for like 2 months? Then dropped it bc it was boring. Never had much interest in it lol.
I was like. Hey Japanese seems cool.
So since then I’ve been learning Japanese 💀.
And it hit me like a brick when I realized… if I was in school, I wouldn’t be able to quit Spanish…
If I was in school, I couldn’t learn Japanese…
It’s really freaking nice being homeschooled 💀
Also if anyone wonders what I, a homeschooled person does in a day it’s
I wake up around 9?
(I make myself iced tea, eat breakfast,
Occasionally exercise 🤡)
And the rest of the day is for what I wanna learn…
So I start at 10? And I usually start with math
So I do math for usually 30 minutes
Then I work on my writing for usually 30 minutes
And by now it’s 11 AM (if I’m still not interested in what I’m studying)
So then I do 30 minutes of sciences
And 30 minutes of history…
Any of these easily can last 3 hours bc of how intrigued I am from them 🤣
So at noon, I usually eat lunch, then read.
(If not I’m still studying for fun 💀)
I read until 3? And then I usually take a nap 😎
I wake up usually at 4, and then I chat with friends, for however long their available…
If we don’t chat to long I usually go on a walk with my sister.
And when I get home I help with dinner and after that it’s about 7?
And for the rest of the night I can do whatever.
I could binge Netflix until 2 AM
Or stay up until 6 AM Reading LOTR like a psychopath. 💀
(If I stay up that late my naps become hours long 🤣)
One night my youngest sister and I stayed up all night watching old movies 🥰.
Another night my siblings and I talked about life and mortality as I lyed on their floor until 7 AM.
One of the cons of being homeschooled is having a small social circle.
Like my brother used to bully me for being gay, and I had no escape sense we shared the same room.
But then my mom said “F### That”
And made him sleep in the living room for 2 years, before he moved out.
Parents can either make or break homeschooling.
It can either make you advance in all pursuits in life, or leave you scared and dull-witted
It’s about the environment that inspires creation, that decides the path beyond luck or money.
This is mostly consumation and improving overall vision, based on beleive and trust to easy source(a good one) It's delitious, but you can as example read bible, or koran, or bhagavat-gita with even better and stronger feelings of improvement ;) Just start a good dig in sciense, and you quickly hit the wall. And then another, and another, and another. And even smartest of us feels exhousted and useless on this road sometimes... Getting knowledge is chalenging! Even true understanding already existed!
Why are you posting this? Their comment had nothing to do with homeschooling. No one cares what your schedule is.
Also, that’s not homeschooling, it’s unschooling.
This has been one of the most heartwarming things I have seen in a while.
While everything said in the video is true, It's the best pleasure aswell.
Seeing this content being made for us not because of profit, but because of pure genuinity.
This channel deserves all the love it gets, without a doubt. Thank you, Kurzgesagt.
Underrated comment, No likes? Let me fix that
Something that would be amazing, is videos about the same subject, but no simplification. The entirety of the complexity of the thing, even if it's 1h long. But still, these simplified videos are extraordinary, and I cannot comprehend the amount of work you have to go through. Thank you a lot !
"And the universe doesn't care if we understand it." nailed it
I had to stop the video so I could quote this elsewhere. That statement hit me.
@@MindALot 😂
"The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you."
Neil deGrasse Tyson
This reminds a saying from 3b1b (a math video channel): "The universe doesn't really care if the final answers look clean. They are what tht are by logical necessity, with no concern over how easily we'll be able to understand them."
If that where true then our understanding wouldn't increase. Mother only tolerates dumb children in the nest for so long. Then we are expected to gain enough learning to at least survive, if not thrive and actually be alive. For there is a huge difference between existing and actually living.
"Trust us, we're liars."
That is probably the most honest answer I ever heard. I'll sooner trust you guys than people who say "Trust us, we know everything."

My physics book has a section for bonus material recommended to research into, and this channel is listed in it. Really proves how effective your videos are!
Wow
Thats a flex 💯
Wait. Are you 6 year old or so?
Because my bonus materials in physics books has 70 years old books by famous physicists listed on it.
Edit:- Guys, I didn't meant it in a bad way. But yeah, my Physics book have section for reference material where there are books as new as 2005 and as old as 1962 by physicists like Feynman. And for those who think science change and old books are irrevelent, you are absolutely wrong!!! Translated books of Newton and papers of Einstein are still revelant today! When I was preparing for University, me and my friends used to study a physics book written in 1978!
Science don't change! Their foundation is still the same. And old books explain things even better. Every adult STEM student would know this fact.
(And for the comment right below me, you can find nearly all old books online. Also, many old ones are for free. Like the books of Carl J. Jung that I read for fun was free on web.)
@@Dr.Kay_R so you have to search for the last remnants of 70 year old rotting vintage books? Bummer dude, that sounds expensive and time consuming.
Edit: Just read your edit, and thats all wonderful. For many people, these videos are more accessible both intellectually and in availability, but if you can you really should go for those papers.
Your original comment just sounded pretentious, and I was just goofing on that.
@@Dr.Kay_R
Bonus material. You do know how to decode sentences, don't you? If your science textbooks include 70 years old books written by famous scientists, your textbooks have a problem.
You know a channel is trustworthy when it admits to its failings as readily as kurzgesagt. They’re the gold standard of simplified educational videos.
Last time they did this is when someone called them out and then the community found out and Kurzgesagt had to delete videos. Now i wonder what they did again.
Not gold, platinum standard.
@@BigattckFirecat They didn't take the video down, they just made a new explaining the point of the old video and why they still stand by it.
Indeed, Echidna
They're not failings, though. I'm not sure calling what they publish "lies" is the right approach to describing simplification in order to communicate with the general populace. It might backfire on them. To use one of their own examples, the Earth and other planets orbiting Sol are close enough to spheres that there is no need to go beyond that in a general conversation about them. It isn't a lie. It's a generally harmless simplification.
I enjoy these videos, and always learn something from them. I appreciate the work that goes into making them!
Even topics that im not even interested in are mind-blowingly amazing with yu guy. Love you so much
"The universe does not care if we understand it."
I feel this is applicable to my daily life.
Are we not a part of the universe? The part of the universe that is human does care.

It's God who created this world. Nothing coming into something is absolutely absurd. no thing, no space, time or matter. Nothing, nada, into something is absolutely a fairytale.
Im the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The way we understand how the world works in truth is how wr can understand its Creator also. The name of the Creator is Jesus Christ who also became a human being to die for your sins in the Cross and resurrected Himself bodily on the 3rd day. Believe in Jesus Christ for your sins, and you will have eternal life. Don't and you shall be judged by this absolutely holy and righteous God:)

Personally, I understood this when I understood the name “in a nutshell”, being that even in the best explanation of the very basics, crucial things can be left out for the sake of simplicity

It's the same idea.
But they want to be extra special transparent with us ;D
@@Broockle Ah hah! "In a nutshell" is another lie! In this case, rather than a simplification to aid early understanding this is an artistic flourish (so to speak) to make the concept immediately recognizable to other audiences.

This channel, over 5 years ago now, quite literally inspired me to pursue a Ph. D in physics of which I am currently a 2nd year graduate student in a physics Ph. D program. The videos you all produce, the stories you tell, and the framework you use to present ideas in a simplified but not too simplified manner spark a curiosity in me and others that no other channel has captured quite as well.
I have to thank you for affecting my life as much you all have and I always look forward to your videos!

I think this everytime I watch a Kurzgesagt video: I would play the heck out of a simulation game that uses the art style and charm of this channel.
Same!
This was an especially beautiful one.
Omg yes
doesn’t quite have the style but I remember little big planet having similar humor
A Civ style game that goes all the way to space age with dyson spheres and the like. Would be amazing.
When I started A Level physics (UK 16-18 education), my teacher started his first lession by saying. "Everything I have taught you up till this point is lie that I want you to forget. I am now going a new set of lies that are more accurate. If you go off to university to do this subject you will be asked to forget what I teach you now and learn a new, even more accurate set of lies." I don't think it was the best way he could have worded it but I've always taken the sentiment it was trying to convey to heart. The models we make in science are accurate only to the resolution we build them to. All models are wrong, some are useful.
lmao i think he worded it perfectly
I don’t know how to read
he did word it perfectly
This is awesome😂😂👍🏻
"All models are wrong, some are useful."
I feel not enough people understand this about "science™." A weird example might be flat earth theory. If you could make a model of the flat earth that was completely consistent with everything and applicable in the real world, then by all means, the Earth might be flat.
The problem is, they don't have a model that's completely consistent and the globe earth model is not only simpler, but also consistent and applicable to the real world... So even if the Earth were actually flat somehow, that model would be vastly more useful and likely preferred.
Flat earth models are rarely, if ever, consistent only because they aren't observing anything. It's a bunch of "patchwork" to "get around" the fact th Earth is round. So every "patch" they make also cuts a new hole in their theory.
aged well
Thank you so much. I have always been angry at my teachers for not diving too deep in to details of certain topics. Now I understand that the topics are too complex and they are just helping us to create a frame work on which we can build more knowledge in those topics. Now I dont have to be angry at them anymore. Thanks again.

On the contrary. We are the part of the Universe that does the thinking, so the Universe does care if it understands.
i love your videos!!!! i love how you sincerely care about your viewers. I have recommended this channel to lots and lots of people, you are 100% amazing
Personally, I love the concept. There's so much information around that it's wonderful to be able to get a window into all these different sciences and digest some knowledge. For example, many of the subjects Kurzgesagt makes videos on I would never have much active interest in, like biology, but I know that watching Kurzgesagt videos are interesting, and Iove the artwork and have a vague idea of how the immune system operates. The truth is that while science is incredibly interesting in it's overriding themes, it's often presented to people who might actually develop an interest in bland and boring ways, often focusing on small details rather than what it really means. Not many people will sit through a lecture presented by a monotone individual, nor will they remember much apart from the core points, unless they revisit the lecture many times, but these 10 minute videos present the core ideas. If I'm interested in a particular idea, I can go search up more information on it. Overall, it means I develop knowledge that I most likely would have never done, like how weird Neutron stars are and that killer T-cells exist.

@@SandroC.R yes, one of the reasons i love them
"Science is a process to work towards gaining knowledge, and not an absolute truth generator".
Love this quote. Going to be using it a lot going forward.
Also, it's important to distinguish actual science from blind faith in bodies that claim to represent science.
@@rtyzxc as a Muslim from indonesia that also believes in science (i believe that god made the big bang happen and all the other stuff is just because of the big bang, and thats as far as i will tell you here) and yeah, i agree. The slight connection of religion and science in my perspective is way more complex than what i explained though, but to sum it up: _i mostly seperate religion from science and i switch between them when i choose to_
@@rtyzxc That's the hardest part. because almost all of us can't fully grasp the whole complex subject. A piece of faith is required.
It's a matter of who someone trusts more to be saying the truth. From angry ranter on some video website to a scientific paper.
That quote appeared to my senses too
@@boxed_in4357 Indonesian person here! Teachers in my school always separate religion and science. Both the science teacher and religion teacher here only teach their part of the subject, and they inform us students of the differences between both subjects. Although the relations and differences between religion and science is very complex, scientists and religious leaders can still interact while being respectful to each other, which is the one thing that I really like about how we handle diversity of information here.

I dropped out of university for nearly 5 years, partly due to circumstances but also because I sorry of lost track of why I was going in the first place. I discovered this channel at the tail end of those five years, and it helped reignite a spark, allowing me to reconceptualize my motivations in pursuing science. Next week, I'm getting my degrees in chemistry and physics. Your simplified storytelling provides a real service ❤️
Oof
Awesome man that’s great
That is awesome! I’m 2 years in to a engineering physics program myself!
Wonderful!
Nice story. Good luck in your career.
"The universe doesn't care if we understand it." - Kurzgesagt Now that's some truth right there.
Well imagine it does care... Maybe we hurt its feelings by not understanding enough :( poor universe
Well no, but actually yes. Since we are the universe becoming aware of itself, and since we care to understand the universe, the universe does care if we understand it.
One thing I absolutely refuse to believe is a lie is the Galactic Bird Empire. Space is full of birds, I'm sure of it!
Don't take this as an universal truth, cause that goes against the whole point of the video. It is something to think about
it hit that right spot, and changed my life, changed my perception regarding the universe!
This is what our Algebra teacher talked about on the first session of our class. He said they had to teach us plus and multiplication on numbers so we get a general idea about it, but now that we are studying math we can go deeper and really understand what "plus" means.
i am with you
i love your prospective to willingly learning
One of the most dangerous ideas that’s become common in society is this idea that changing your opinion on something makes you a hypocrite. It doesn’t. It just means you learned new information that you didn’t have before.
We are all _constantly_ changing and learning more about the world around us, from the moment we take our first breath, to the moment we take our last.
Nobody knows absolutely _everything_ about anything. If you went your entire life without changing your opinions on things, you never truly lived.
Damn, you're right. Sometimes I'm afraid to change my opinion because I feel like I'd disrespect my past self and be hypocrite with the others... but that's so stupid now that you make me think about it.
Thanks.
@@barioneaccidioso3804 You’re very welcome friend, I’m glad my words were able to help!
We’re all out here doing our best to navigate a world that’s forever changing, and sometimes the best thing we can do to help understand that is to remind ourselves that no one _truly_ understands anything, and to be forgiving when we get it wrong.
It’s all about learning and growing, and that’s just not possible without a little trial and error. 😉
Thank uuuu
The problem is when you flip flop and suspiciously only change your mind when benefit you.
this idea is why politics suck. the moment you change your mind as a politician you might as well say goodbye to your job. had to do some big scale debate project for school and the people who won were the ones who got others to change their mind slightly (trying to get the best of both worlds) and then just dragging them through the mud. and when they couldnt get you to change your mind they would drag you through the mud in a different way. so being a bad role model politician is literally encouraged
my high school chem teacher taught us that "models are useful, not true", which is such an elegant and accurate way of putting it, and that's stuck with me ever since and has really informed my view of the world and how I understand science in general.
Yes! Models are an oversimplification of the world, and just because a model fits, doesn't make it true. It just makes it less false than the other model :) I'm currently following a course on latent variable models, and boi do you need to keep that in mind. You can make any model fit as long as you are creative enough with your statistics.
your teacher was very smart
@@DyslexicMitochondria hey bro i watch ur vids. Love ur channeI
When i took 6th Form science. My teacher straight told us 'forget everything they told you about Atoms last year. That was wrong. What im going to teach you this year. Is also not quite right'
And i had so much respect for that teacher because of that.
Admitting straight 'this is not exactly how it works, but its the best explanation for this level of studying, and will work as a framework to build your understand off if you go a step further'
Take the bohr model of the atom for example it might not be accurate however it provides a general grasp of atoms which could lead to understanding the universe

If only you could use a search engine to find out...
It's real, I also saw these in my chemistry classes. The electrons are more like vibrating electron clouds and it actually has a specific model name which I've forgotten since I'm not a chem major lol

@MageBurger chemistry university student here, you mean orbitals. Electrons exist in those with a probability, 90 % i think. But yes we like to simplify it makes talking about it easier.

"don't confuse the description of a thing with the thing itself" --- excellent! I think this is the most important point in physics that most people get wrong. They forget that we are always dealing with models.
The most important point for life itself really. You can never gain a true level of understanding from reading or hearing about an experience, you have to experience it yourself.
