I was pretty sure no one would ever adapt the language of physics and astronomy into English as beautifully as Sagan; then I found this channel. True poetry
@@poneill65 Not at all, David strikes me as eminently authentic in his wonder of the cosmos. His palpable disappointment at not getting JWST time to seek out new moons shows me someone who deeply desires to understand the universe we inhabit. Of course, I could be wrong, but that is not currently my belief. Also, we're humans. How language is delivered matters a great deal, you could have 1,000 people quote Shakespeare and it wouldn't be the most robotic who moved me or made me grasp its meaning most fully, it would be the person who captures it with the most humanity. You and I disagreeing on this is one of the reasons I love being human though, different perspectives and interpretations have led to our flourishing more than hindered it.
@@MasonHerrick I don't doubt his sincere passion about science. For me, it's just the clearly contrived delivery he employs at times (the "hushed wonder" Brian cox impression). That's not his normal speaking voice, it also not accidental "in the moment". It's a manipulative contrivance. It's creating a brand, a persona to boost his public "talking head" gig. For me that tomfoolery is an irritant, and a little bit insulting. Horses for courses I guess.
@@poneill65 Dr. Carl Sagan, for all his brilliance, employed the same contrived brand/persona delivery in his presentation, to the same effect you are critiquing so harshly here. Every presenter does it; it's up to the audience to decide if they find it moving and compelling, or merely irritating.
@@TheRealSkeletor Wrong. Sagan delivered his presentations (like Cosmos) exactly how he spoke in every interview I ever saw of him. He used his natural voice, not a contrivance. And the fact that David "puts on" this pound shop Cox affectation is clear for all to see, because we see him speaking normally in many other videos.
This was not a video, this was art. You explain so scientifically and with such passion. Thanks for another great topic and for spreading the beauty of science to the public. 1 million subscribers before the end of the year, I guarantee it.
Professor Kipping not only explains Astrophysics in an interesting & intriguing way but his videos always have inspiring & motivating life lessons! His delivery is highly satisfying & soothing. Highly appreciated!
Hands Down, THE BEST content out there!!! I will endlessly follow Dr. Kipping through any journey, he and his teammates wish to traverse. Absolutely Astounding!!!!!
This channel and history of the universe (my personal favorite, but this is a very close 2nd) are the two best channels on youtube. also history of the earth
Dr Kipping please come to Poland one day so I can hang out with you 😊 you’re like a science bard telling beautiful stories about our place in the universe ❤
I agree. This "thing," is more than a UA-cam video, more than a great science presentation, even more than an artistically fashioned, cerebrally astonishing, scholarly work for important archives!
I had forgotten about the billion-year long subgiant phase. One of the things I found interesting about stellar evolution is how what is happening in the core is often the opposite of what is happening in the outer layers, as the core gets denser and hotter, the outer layers get more puffed up and cooler.
The higher the core temperature, the higher the outer layer ionization, it's like a curtain drawn over the Sun. But damn, if we had a shot of vodka for each time the core temp increased and went degenerate, we'd be watching this really drunk. hehe
Thanks for watching, be sure to like/share/comment if you enjoyed! For those wondering about engineering our way out of this, we published a paper on this recently ( arxiv.org/abs/2210.02338 ) using a technique called Starlifting, we have a video on that too over at ua-cam.com/video/IY0KWLanlLM/v-deo.html.

I am crying for that giant ball of plasma in the sky, even though I'll die way earlier than her and every human on Earth won't really be alive to see all this suffering she'll go through. Watched this video while it was still daytime, so thank you Sun... thank you for pretty much giving us life.

I remember my grandad taking my cousins and I to The London Planetarium when I was about 8. We watched a presentation on the dome about the universe, but what stayed with me from that day was that the sun will one day expire and take Earth with it. My cousins didn't seem bothered but it terrified me and engraved in my brain!
Destroying the Earth a billion years from now is an inconceivable amount of time from a human perspective. Odds are more likely we would have destroyed ourselves and sterilised the planet WWAY before then 😂 Don't sweat it
@@johncollier1405One can only hope . Maybe not in our lifetimes, but what about our great great grandchildren . The sweat will be forming on their brows thinking about what is to come .
There’s something about all of it on this channel - the presentation’s pace and cadence, the comfort of the known knowns with acceptance of and descriptions of the three combinations of unknowns - that makes it calmly ok to not be ok with our extreme finiteness in a seemingly possible infiniteness, all of which is so improbable and likely bearing heavily upon the impossible… but yeah, somehow this channel’s explanations of how some things aren’t even (yet) explainable are done in a way that lulls your existentially calamitous anxiety to rest, like a baby with a full belly and a binky. TLDR. Channel rocks, keep it up mate.
We the children of the Sun discovered our parents' story, we are the way that the solar system knows itself. Crying at this line, poetry and science together and at it's absolute best.

Never have I learned so much while shedding so much tears. In this life, a mere blink for our cosmic mother, I've known tears of sadness, tears of joy, but now I know what the tears of wonder, the tears of awe feels like . Thank you Professor Kipping, before endeavoring into biology and now computer science, I've always had a passion for the stars. In my deep youth, I fondly remember gleaming over atlases of the universe, hungry to know, without even knowing it, where we come from, why we are here and where will we be. I hope to one day trek again and walk the fields of Astronomy and Cosmology, to share and mingle my future past knowledge of cellular processes and systems architecture with the disciple of stellar logic and contribute to our shared expanse and understanding. Thank you.
1:19 Thank you for your thoughts. I'm endlessly fascinated by the SUN and the universe's mysteries, and chatting about them with someone or reading others perspective rings me a sense of wonder. I highly recommend watching 'Sunshine' (2007). The SUN almost appears as a character within this narrative, so profoundly vast and incandescent, but unimaginably hostile as well. I've never watched a movie that generates such a feeling of existential dread, combined with a sense of beauty and awe. It's an utterly breathtaking cinematic journey.
Our beautiful sun chooses violence. She will fight and fight even more than we can imagine. I remember the first time I heard our sun will eventually swallow the earth. I'll never forget that feeling as a child. We humans are so lucky to see this content, to learn all of this. To see the blossoming earth days that are not lasting forever. Thank you!
Wow! I've seen explanations of the different phases of the lifetime of our Sun, but NEVER with the riveting and dramatic style and energy and enthusiasm of the telling by Prof. Kipping. This was just mesmerizing and absolutely riveting. So very well done. I just love this video! Just wow!!
I have anxiety and stress problems related to workloads that started giving me constant psycosomatic pain. Only cure apart from drugs is relaxation exercises and yoga/meditation/stretching; your videos help me a lot: your voice, the soundtracks you use, the topic. I gotta thank you, your channel is kind of a medicine for me.
The sun has given life to me and I'm forever grateful. I lived in a time of beauty to look outside and see the blue sky green leaves on the trees outside my window. Food in my belly and clean water to drink that's all I could ask for ❤
We are such an insignificant blip in the time line of the universe. Make sure you take notice of how incredible this life is and what we have accomplished in this little speck of time. Do what you can to make the most of our infinitesimally small time here. Love you all.
Exactly right, I don't get how nihilism is even a thing. We are lucky enough to be able experience the universe and all of its wonder and struggles so we might as well make the most of it!
At the mention of "rage" at 26:48, I was expecting a citation of Dylan Thomas's "Do not go gentle into that good night" to follow. I very much enjoy these lectured documentaries that invite us on journeys within our universe. Ever since I watched "A Journey to the End of the Universe," my outlook on the universe and our place in it has shifted from obliviousness and ignorance to gratitude and awe. Sometimes I even try to explain some of the concepts I have learned over the past four years to other people, as best I can, whenever I can. Hats off to your vision and what you do, sir.
You make a wonderous child-like connection with me in your videos. For just a moment the world and our problems seem so small. Thank you from an old guy.
"We didn't do it for personal gain, for profit, to dodge taxes or pump a stock price. We did it because of sheer goddamn curiosity." This is one of my new favorite quotes. This is similar to how I would describe humanity.
Evolution is amazing. The death of our planet could potentially lead to life of Europa, titan or Pluto as the sun expands. The gas giants evaporates to leave a Rocky core. This is evolution. Amazing.
Thank you for producing this. In my decades of a thankful existence, i've understandably taken for granted, up until now, what has gifted me/us with an ability to perceive the life provided.
Wow. Just wow. Dr. Kipping, you are an amazing narrator and science communicator. I did not know the sun would get a brief second chance at "life" so I learned something today. Also, I need to give you some additional credit for instilling a sense of sadness and love towards our mother star. I actually did feel a little sad at the end of the video and as a science storyteller; you are second to none. I truly wish I could hear you lecture in person. Stay awesome!
Cool Worlds, Astrum, and Melodysheep are my go too channels for reawakening my wonder. There are a couple others I cant think of right now, im still in the pre-caffeine phase of my life cycle
As always, I'm blown away. It is just amazing how you knit words that speak right to the human within us all, and makes these documentaries so much more worth our time, because this is our life right here. Thank you Cool Worlds Lab. I keep learning with each video, and I'm grateful for the chance at life, because these videos remind me every time what a miracle it truly is to be born at all.
My mind can barely imagine the time frames involved, but it saddens me our "star" will one day die. It as much part of our gift of life here as our Earth is. Like a mother and her child. Maybe our distant generations will figure out how to prolong the Sun's life. I sure hope so!

@@manco828 I had to cap myself at 5, if I listed all the ones I watched such as; future unity, SEA, VTV, DTTV, Jason Kendall, bright side, voyager, history of the universe, kosmo, space matters, geographics, spark, universe and space, destiny, riddle, scishow space, and many more we'd be here all day. But the ones I stated were the ones that stood out the most to me, geographics would be the only one of those I just mentioned able to stand among them at the top.
Life will only appear when the prerequisite conditions exist. Not every resource abundant planet will form life, but every planet hosting life must possess the necessary resources to sustain that life. If not here, then somewhere else. And somewhere out there, an extra-terrestrial is pondering that exact same question on their resource abundant planet in another star system, far away ✨
this has to happen somewhere and where it does something like us is apparently what happens. It's not so much lucky, it's just unlikely but given the sheer number of stars and planets this set up was inevitable ya know
Professor Kipping, you are, hands down, the most brilliant scientific story-teller ever. Period. Thank you so very much for making your deeply inspirational videos available for us to watch.
Your lovely narration masks the detailed description you're slipping in. I never knew that the sun will go through two giant phases like that, and other surprises I never knew. Really outstanding science communication!!! Total aside, but I never really understood why astrophysicists don't review their nomenclature and just fix things - like "planetary nebulae" or "metals". I think of science as the ultimate in rigor and precision but then there is this seemingly confusing terminology. It seems like every science communicator has to include an aside explaining why the name doesn't fit what we would guess from it. I dunno, just a silly pet peeve of mine.
Before I even finished watching the video, it reminds me of the Isaac Asimov short story "The Last Question". I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
Never before has someone so thoughtfully, artfully, and beautifully blended the worlds of Art & Science. Truly, Professor Kipping, you are doing incredible work with this channel. Keep doing what you're doing and inspiring the next generation of dreamers!

Hey! Regular old science & math tutor here. Your videos really help me communicate science to learners with minds that are more language & humanities oriented. Thank you!
I watched it already, but let it run full a 2nd time. Hope that helps! You are one of the most inspiring YT channels I‘ve ever came across. I hope you never stop making these videos!
I knew broadly how the Sun would age already, but this was a great, straightforward explanation of the details. Thanks for always putting out such great content!
I love your channel. I’m always looking forward to the next content. A beautiful reminder that even after we as humans are gone, so too will be the cradle that supported us
Hi sir I am from India and I love watching your videos.. Your last short video was very motivation and it's true 👍 We shouldn't lose hope no matter how many times we face rejection👍❤️.. Please keep make content like you always do cuz they are so much unique in youtube 👍💙
Ever since i started watching this channel, I've gained a new appreciation for existence in general since I never really paid much attention to science when I was in school. I know our world will end, and so will the sun, so, I know that what I feel is incredibly unique, as I now ponder if I was ever supposed to exist in the first place. It makes savoring the moments of the rain fall, the sun shine, bird song, friends, family, the simple happiness my dogs have when they go for walks etc feel numinous. Thank you for your videos and for making it easy to follow, story driven, and educational. Its brought a new light into my life and my perspective on things.
Why do so many of you science youtubers make videos about the end of the sun when you know full well we have the scientific knowledge to extend our sun's life for trillions of years longer than any other?
The idea is called “stellar lifting.” Ways to remove mass from the Sun to slow its rate of fusion and helium concentration in the core. It’s an absolutely massive engineering problem, but it’s theoretically plausible and we have millions of years to figure it out. Imagine building billions + mirrors around the sun that can focus its own light back on a small spot on the sun, greatly increasing its temperature in that one spot, essentially creating a non-stop coronal mass ejection which could then be collected and transported elsewhere for storage. Issac Arthur is a good follow if you’re interested in those types of fringe/sci-fi ideas.
Typical UA-cam commenter.. can easily extend the life of the Sun by a trillion years, but can't understand that this video is about so much more than that.
@@sorryplease5071 that may be a tactic used when we are capable of building the machines that can build a project on such a scale. To arrive at that stage we need to constantly gain in our knowledge possibly allowing humans to accomplish this construction. To achieve these gains it will be people like professor Kipping that will help us to learn how it all works. Cool Worlds really can't be clumped in with the junk science channels. His is a name that referred to as top in the field. He's not trying to scare folks he's an educator and a good one. I'm just saying he's worth listening too.
One of the only channels that I can confidently click 'like' the moment it starts. I SOOO appreciate CW as content creators. Thank you for making this for us all.
THANK YOU FOR THIS EPISODE. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE NEVER STOP FROM THEIR DAYLY LIVES TO “ worship” our ☀️ ….OR TO TRULLY LEARN ABOUT OUR MILKY WAY AND WHAT IS BEYOND.
Beautifully explained about the fate of our own star 🌟.. It is heart breaking to hear that such phenomenal creation Will also fade away in the darkness of endlessness.. 😢
This will happen only if we don't do something to stop it. E.g. remove mass from the Sun to slow fusion or exchange the helium in core with fresh hydrogen.
I, in my last insignificant days, months or perhaps even a couple more years, find this video very soothing in a selfish sort of way. Whilst none of this new it does help remind us how short a time we have existed, how much we screw up time and time again, how much wars are more important rather than saving our wonderful planet which shall surely die eons before the sun consumes this planet.
Dr. Kipping forgot to mention that this will be the Sun's fate only if we don't do something to stop it. E.g. remove mass from the Sun to slow fusion or exchange the helium "ash" in the core with fresh hydrogen.
I admire how you're able to take something that can easily be incredibly complex and present it in simple, universally understandable terms. On top of that, even though I already knew how and why the sun would eventually cease to exist, you had me enthralled attempting to champion our star in a hope that it wouldn't meet its eventual fate. I honestly wish I had you as my professor when I was studying physics at university. It would've helped me complete my degree in something that genuinely fascinates me, instead of leaving and just being good at what I do. Thank you for your labor on these videos professor.
Thank you for explaining what would happen to the outer planets during the red giant phase. Stripped away by other star’s gravity. Just wow. Thanks for another mind boggling video! Love! ❤️
If nothing else, This truly says to man kind to enjoy every moment of life. Yes I do want to know, but why did it make me feel so sad? For all of us, the Sun is our life. No matter if we are here not, the thought of all of this no longer being here is sad, and hard to wrap my mind around. Things happening way farther out in space are interesting, but not our solar system. Thank-you again for your beautiful and heartfelt videos.

The best explanation of our Sun's evolution and demise that I've seen to date.
We are such an insignificant blip in the time line of the universe. Make sure you take notice of how incredible this life is and what we have accomplished in this little speck of time. Do what you can to make the most of our infinitesimally small time here. Love you all.
Exactly right, I don't get how nihilism is even a thing. We are lucky enough to be able experience the universe and all of its wonder and struggles so we might as well make the most of it!
It's peaceful knowing humans won't stay around 😌
6th extinction and many more to come
Too bad I'll never get what i want
Gives me goosebumps and tears 😭 at the end. Everything good or bad most come to an end, even the mighty sun ☀, our dear ❤️ star 🌟.
1:19 I strongly suggest you watch the movie SUNSHINE. I'm trying to get people to watch it it's such a hidden treasure of a movie
At the mention of "rage" at 26:48, I was expecting a citation of Dylan Thomas's "Do not go gentle into that good night" to follow.
I very much enjoy these lectured documentaries that invite us on journeys within our universe. Ever since I watched "A Journey to the End of the Universe," my outlook on the universe and our place in it has shifted from obliviousness and ignorance to gratitude and awe. Sometimes I even try to explain some of the concepts I have learned over the past four years to other people, as best I can, whenever I can.
Hats off to your vision and what you do, sir.
You make a wonderous child-like connection with me in your videos. For just a moment the world and our problems seem so small. Thank you from an old guy.
The film “Knowing” covers this topic perfectly.
"We didn't do it for personal gain, for profit, to dodge taxes or pump a stock price. We did it because of sheer goddamn curiosity."
This is one of my new favorite quotes. This is similar to how I would describe humanity.
It’s when we’re at our most noble
Nothing better than a Cool Worlds video to start the day with some perspective 🤘
...or to finish!

Evolution is amazing. The death of our planet could potentially lead to life of Europa, titan or Pluto as the sun expands. The gas giants evaporates to leave a Rocky core.
This is evolution. Amazing.
I will watch later, but I will like now. Thanks for uploading in a time like this. Hope you get JWST soon, you guys deserve it!

Oh my god that was incredible. You just blew up my imagination.
Thank you for producing this. In my decades of a thankful existence, i've understandably taken for granted, up until now, what has gifted me/us with an ability to perceive the life provided.
Wow. Just wow. Dr. Kipping, you are an amazing narrator and science communicator. I did not know the sun would get a brief second chance at "life" so I learned something today. Also, I need to give you some additional credit for instilling a sense of sadness and love towards our mother star. I actually did feel a little sad at the end of the video and as a science storyteller; you are second to none. I truly wish I could hear you lecture in person. Stay awesome!
Cool Worlds, Astrum, and Melodysheep are my go too channels for reawakening my wonder. There are a couple others I cant think of right now, im still in the pre-caffeine phase of my life cycle
Man, ur the only youtuber that i wait a notifcation from

We may not be around to marvel and enjoy her luminosity when she goes, but we will one day be reunited with her again when she does.
As always, I'm blown away. It is just amazing how you knit words that speak right to the human within us all, and makes these documentaries so much more worth our time, because this is our life right here.
Thank you Cool Worlds Lab. I keep learning with each video, and I'm grateful for the chance at life, because these videos remind me every time what a miracle it truly is to be born at all.
Everytime I watch a coolworlds video, I make sure I have whiskey by my side. This sun dying, chilled, felt like a frostbite. Sad.
Me too. Existential angst needs a good malt to soothe it.
@@HostileButHonourable let me recommend the movie SUNSHINE 2007
1:19
Professor Dave is so articulate in his explanation of science
David Kipping take a bow.. what a beautiful tribute to our Sun 💯
The suns gonna explode before we get gta6
My mind can barely imagine the time frames involved, but it saddens me our "star" will one day die. It as much part of our gift of life here as our Earth is. Like a mother and her child. Maybe our distant generations will figure out how to prolong the Sun's life. I sure hope so!
1:19 Like the film SUNSHINE from 2007, where a group of extraordinary individuals embark on a mission to reignite the SUN as humanitys last hope

@@manco828 I had to cap myself at 5, if I listed all the ones I watched such as; future unity, SEA, VTV, DTTV, Jason Kendall, bright side, voyager, history of the universe, kosmo, space matters, geographics, spark, universe and space, destiny, riddle, scishow space, and many more we'd be here all day.
But the ones I stated were the ones that stood out the most to me, geographics would be the only one of those I just mentioned able to stand among them at the top.

How come most habitable planets have much less ressources and stability than Earth? Why are we here? Why we are so luck?
Interesting...
Because if it didn’t have enough ressources we wouldn’t be here
We are lucky ?
Life will only appear when the prerequisite conditions exist. Not every resource abundant planet will form life, but every planet hosting life must possess the necessary resources to sustain that life. If not here, then somewhere else. And somewhere out there, an extra-terrestrial is pondering that exact same question on their resource abundant planet in another star system, far away ✨
this has to happen somewhere and where it does something like us is apparently what happens. It's not so much lucky, it's just unlikely but given the sheer number of stars and planets this set up was inevitable ya know
Professor Kipping, you are, hands down, the most brilliant scientific story-teller ever. Period. Thank you so very much for making your deeply inspirational videos available for us to watch.
This is one of the most fascinating channels on this planet.
Your lovely narration masks the detailed description you're slipping in. I never knew that the sun will go through two giant phases like that, and other surprises I never knew. Really outstanding science communication!!!
Total aside, but I never really understood why astrophysicists don't review their nomenclature and just fix things - like "planetary nebulae" or "metals". I think of science as the ultimate in rigor and precision but then there is this seemingly confusing terminology. It seems like every science communicator has to include an aside explaining why the name doesn't fit what we would guess from it. I dunno, just a silly pet peeve of mine.
It’s a real pain but I agree
Awesome. Death comes to us all. Even might stars have an end. Galaxy merge and universe end.
The cycle of life continues when we’ve gone.
Your narration is amazing 👏 let alone your passion on these subjects. Brilliant.
That's pure art, dr. Kipping! Thanks!!! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Tonight will be the night that I fall for you 🖤🖤over againnnnnnnnnn
Before I even finished watching the video, it reminds me of the Isaac Asimov short story "The Last Question". I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
This has to be one of the most beautifully narrated space channels on UA-cam. Factual and thought provoking, almost a meditation on space themes.
I love these long form videos. The juxtaposition of calamity & calmness is so soothing. Thank you
Astonishing and beautifully explained by Professor Kipping, thank you so much for this wonderful channel.
I was watching your "is the sun unusual' video last night wondering when you would upload again! What a treat !
Never before has someone so thoughtfully, artfully, and beautifully blended the worlds of Art & Science. Truly, Professor Kipping, you are doing incredible work with this channel. Keep doing what you're doing and inspiring the next generation of dreamers!
You voice is so clear and bold very interesting video first time watching

Hey! Regular old science & math tutor here. Your videos really help me communicate science to learners with minds that are more language & humanities oriented.
Thank you!
It aaaalllll retuuuuurns to noooothiiiiing
It all comes tumbling down tumbling down tumbling doooowwnn
I watched it already, but let it run full a 2nd time. Hope that helps! You are one of the most inspiring YT channels I‘ve ever came across. I hope you never stop making these videos!
Dude, your videos are so awesome. Thank you!
This was one of, if not the best, episode yet. It was not just educational, it was beautifully poetic. Thank you, Dr. Kipping! 🤗🌹
Cool worlds videos are just so unbelievably beautiful narrated, I just want to watch them again and again. Thanks for this small adventures in my mind
WOW.... JUST WOW!!
I knew broadly how the Sun would age already, but this was a great, straightforward explanation of the details. Thanks for always putting out such great content!
I don't know about religions or gods, if there's one thing that we should worship, it's the sun ☀️☀️. Respect sun 🌞
But who/what created the sun?
An astrophysicist and a poet in one body.
Amazing content.❤
I love your channel. I’m always looking forward to the next content. A beautiful reminder that even after we as humans are gone, so too will be the cradle that supported us
Hi sir I am from India and I love watching your videos..
Your last short video was very motivation and it's true 👍
We shouldn't lose hope no matter how many times we face rejection👍❤️..
Please keep make content like you always do cuz they are so much unique in youtube 👍💙
That was just amazing. Thank you !
A touching reminder of the cycle of life and death we all share even with our Sun ☀️
PS: Thanks Sun, for everything! Enjoy your retirement!
Ever since i started watching this channel, I've gained a new appreciation for existence in general since I never really paid much attention to science when I was in school. I know our world will end, and so will the sun, so, I know that what I feel is incredibly unique, as I now ponder if I was ever supposed to exist in the first place. It makes savoring the moments of the rain fall, the sun shine, bird song, friends, family, the simple happiness my dogs have when they go for walks etc feel numinous. Thank you for your videos and for making it easy to follow, story driven, and educational. Its brought a new light into my life and my perspective on things.
“The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon for more interesting physics.
Obligatory comment for the algorithm.
Loved the Narration. One of the best and underrated channel in UA-cam.
Why do so many of you science youtubers make videos about the end of the sun when you know full well we have the scientific knowledge to extend our sun's life for trillions of years longer than any other?
Could you expand on how to do it. I'm curious.
Can you explain? I've never heard this before
The idea is called “stellar lifting.” Ways to remove mass from the Sun to slow its rate of fusion and helium concentration in the core. It’s an absolutely massive engineering problem, but it’s theoretically plausible and we have millions of years to figure it out. Imagine building billions + mirrors around the sun that can focus its own light back on a small spot on the sun, greatly increasing its temperature in that one spot, essentially creating a non-stop coronal mass ejection which could then be collected and transported elsewhere for storage.
Issac Arthur is a good follow if you’re interested in those types of fringe/sci-fi ideas.
Typical UA-cam commenter.. can easily extend the life of the Sun by a trillion years, but can't understand that this video is about so much more than that.
@@sorryplease5071 that may be a tactic used when we are capable of building the machines that can build a project on such a scale. To arrive at that stage we need to constantly gain in our knowledge possibly allowing humans to accomplish this construction. To achieve these gains it will be people like professor Kipping that will help us to learn how it all works.
Cool Worlds really can't be clumped in with the junk science channels. His is a name that referred to as top in the field. He's not trying to scare folks he's an educator and a good one.
I'm just saying he's worth listening too.
Your storytelling ability outclasses ChatGPT-4. Keep going!
At least for now!
Sir, this is a Wendy's...
That was amazing . For over 20 minutes
Prof. Kipping made me N O T think about the
soon // impending A I Apocalypse .
- Thank You David .
One of the only channels that I can confidently click 'like' the moment it starts. I SOOO appreciate CW as content creators. Thank you for making this for us all.
THANK YOU FOR THIS EPISODE. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE NEVER STOP FROM THEIR DAYLY LIVES TO “ worship” our ☀️ ….OR TO TRULLY LEARN ABOUT OUR MILKY WAY AND WHAT IS BEYOND.
Beautifully explained about the fate of our own star 🌟..
It is heart breaking to hear that such phenomenal creation
Will also fade away in the darkness of endlessness.. 😢
This will happen only if we don't do something to stop it. E.g. remove mass from the Sun to slow fusion or exchange the helium in core with fresh hydrogen.
@@douglaswilkinson57001:19 like that movie
@@NT_1 Keeping our Sun from roasting us has been discussed by stellar astrophysicists. It won't be easy but in the long run it'll be worth it.
I, in my last insignificant days, months or perhaps even a couple more years, find this video very soothing in a selfish sort of way. Whilst none of this new it does help remind us how short a time we have existed, how much we screw up time and time again, how much wars are more important rather than saving our wonderful planet which shall surely die eons before the sun consumes this planet.
Dr.Kippings,you are a high Priest of Astronomy and am very much impressed by your Invocations.
Keep it up British boy and keep riding high as always.
Dr. Kipping forgot to mention that this will be the Sun's fate only if we don't do something to stop it. E.g. remove mass from the Sun to slow fusion or exchange the helium "ash" in the core with fresh hydrogen.
I admire how you're able to take something that can easily be incredibly complex and present it in simple, universally understandable terms. On top of that, even though I already knew how and why the sun would eventually cease to exist, you had me enthralled attempting to champion our star in a hope that it wouldn't meet its eventual fate. I honestly wish I had you as my professor when I was studying physics at university. It would've helped me complete my degree in something that genuinely fascinates me, instead of leaving and just being good at what I do.
Thank you for your labor on these videos professor.
Thank you for explaining what would happen to the outer planets during the red giant phase. Stripped away by other star’s gravity. Just wow. Thanks for another mind boggling video! Love! ❤️
If nothing else, This truly says to man kind to enjoy every moment of life. Yes I do want to know, but why did it make me feel so sad? For all of us, the Sun is our life. No matter if we are here not, the thought of all of this no longer being here is sad, and hard to wrap my mind around. Things happening way farther out in space are interesting, but not our solar system. Thank-you again for your beautiful and heartfelt videos.
your writing is just. so good. A+ scripts, fam
I love your calm voice and the way that you narrate. Your content is truly amazing truly inspiring and I wish there was more of it.
