Just so were are being accurate: voids are not empty. Even the "emptiest" voids contain more than 15% of the average matter density of the universe. This includes dark matter, hydrogen, and small, dim dwarf galaxies.
Imagine living inside a dwarf Galaxy, even if it's 1/1,000th thr size of our own, we still could have a habitable planet inside a really nice solar system with countless Billions of stars to see in the sky. But we wouldn't probably know that other Galaxies existed until we invented Infared Microwave Detectors and discovered the CMBR.

Size means nothing if life only evolves very rarely. We could be the first civilization, or the last civilization, or anywhere between. Time is one of the biggest factors. A civilization may arise once every 10,000 years, once in every galaxy, but fall before the next civilization arises. One thing we'd certainly expect to see is much clearer signs of habitation in the universe. In a universe teeming with civilizations, especially powerful ones, you'd expect even unadvanced civilizations to be able to tell. It shouldn't even be a matter of the right equipment, because you'd see structures that could only exist from artificial means. I'm not just talking things like measuring the light of stars or infrared output of a solar system to see if there's a dyson sphere, but even bigger signs than those. From signs of possible massive creatures bigger than a solar system, to structures that span multiple solar systems. Some we could have already seen but just don't have the capacity to interpret yet, but certainly not all would be in that category. Yet we still have not even one thing we can definitively say is artificial. So for the most part, we can say the universe is virtually untouched, which points us to infer things about life in the universe. We may very much be alone, or due to speed limits and the nature of time and distances of space, we may never interact with another civilization. We wouldn't just need a civilization to exist, but also one that is near a similar level, in order to even be safe to interact. We're not going to be able to do much with cavemen aliens on another planet, and if our advancement level was that compared to an even more advanced civilization, they would probably think the same, so interaction doesn't happen, or results in annihilation of the other. So you wouldn't just need 2 civilizations nearby each other at the same time (which is already an extraordinarily low probability), but also ones that require tons of other factors like being physically/mentally and technology developed enough to interact in a way that would be mutually beneficial. So you could have life develop every 10 lightyears on average, but due to all those factors, the universe would be just as lonely for most civilizations. It's possible that the statistics are, for every 1 billion civilizations that develop, only 2 are able to interact....and it's also possible that the lifetime of the universe may never actually reach that 1 billion civilizations point, which means the entire universe can come and go with every civilization that was ever in it, having always been alone.
FUN FACT :: even atoms themselves ARE mostly empty space. i find it to be REALLY, QUITE AWESOME that such an arrangement ALSO extends to large scales such as that of our entire known universe.
Atoms are mostly empty space, sub atomic particles are mostly empty space. Id almost argue that depending on where you draw the line, matter doesn't even exist.
Thats because it does not exist. Not in the way we think atleast. If we would be able to create a microscope with enough “zoom” I bet we’ll come to the conclusion that reality as we know might be “fake” and the true nature of pur reality is nothing more than vibrations, where what we would perceive as “matter” just has a bigger density of vibrations in comparison with non-matter.
@@TheOriginalMcJunior look up the unified field. It's below sub-atomic particles It's basically a bubbling field that pops things in and out of existence and it permeates all areas of space. I think it's the same as "zero-point energy"

If you think about it, it’s no small irony that voids are the byproduct of matter collecting and the byproduct of that byproduct is the eventual separation of all matter.
Those not busy being born are busy dying - Bob Dylan I think it appropriately fits the nature of the universe.. One dense spark of existence thinning out into emptiness in the most brilliant and elongated period of time.
OMG... The movie "The Never Ending Story" featured a villain simply called The Nothing that grew nearly to consume the fantasy world. Didn't realized it was speculative fiction :)
The luck dragon is Falcor. And you never see the nothing in this film. The nothing is just that. Nothing. The non belief of Fantasia and its inhabitants. The Gmork (the scary ass wolf thing) is its herald. Just as likely to exist somewhere as not existing.
we take this knowledge for granted. we have no idea how much of a privilege it is to know these things. the universe and our infinitely miniscule place in it will never cease to amaze me.
It always blows me away when i think about what we knew 100, or hell, even 50 years ago as compared to what we know now, especially about space....we are truly in the golden age for astronomical learning
Consider this, though: what would it take for things to matter? Or in other words: what features must a universe possess in order for its human inhabitants to attach genuine meaning to life, love, existence, and everything else? It turns out that this question isn't as easy to answer as it might seem. The assumption is that the modern universe that we know and fear offers less meaning than other possible universes. It offers, for instance, less meaning than the earthbound "world" of the past, where we lived and died -- meaningfully -- all while remaining blissfully unaware of the universe beyond. The argument might go something like this: in a universe this vast and indifferent, meaning washes out with the vastness and in the absence of top-down authority. Any meaning that can be found in this universe is purely human-generated. It is true that we can *give* life meaning, but this subjective form of meaning is deficient relative to the *objective* meaning another universe might afford us. Let's say, then, that the universe truly was the way that we used to think it was a few centuries ago: limited in extent, static, and presided over by a deity. Where does meaning come from in this universe? Are our lives any more meaningful because we are surrounded by a mere galaxy (or a mere solar system) instead of an infinite spacetime teeming with stars and quasars and relativistic jets and exomoons and all the rest? Your answer may differ, but this smaller universe doesn't seem any more or less "meaningful" -- or at least there is no obvious reason why it would be so. Shrinking the universe does not appear to make it more meaningful, only less daunting. Meaning must come from the presence of a deity, then. But what is it about *this* relationship that would give our lives meaning? If the deity gave us an endless series of quests to occupy our time, would these quests give our lives meaning? If the deity instituted a kind of reward/punishment system for completing (or failing to complete) His quests, would these rewards and punishments give our lives meaning? It doesn't seem obvious why this arrangement would be any more meaningful than our current configuration. We might well ask ourselves whether these divine honey-dos from on high were meaningful at all -- and the response ("because the deity assigned them to us") doesn't seem especially satisfying. And if no one divine task is inherently meaningful, it follows that a lifetime -- or an eternity -- of such tasks would also fall short of the sort of meaning we seek. In the end, whether these divine quests mattered to us or not would seem to depend on how *humans* felt about them. Even in a small, regimented, and supervised universe, we would have to create our own meaning -- or to accord meaning to things -- for there to be any meaning at all. Perhaps this tells us more about the nature of meaning than it does about the nature of the universe. By definition, conscious beings accord meaning *to things.* Meaning does not inhere in objects, not even objects as big as the universe. Meaning exists only in the interaction between thinking things and the things that thinking things observe. Meaning is bestowed, not found.
The largest known structure in the universe is the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. This colossal collection of galaxies stretches across an astonishing 10 billion light-years. It's so vast that it challenges our current understanding of the universe's structure.

Dude your videos just make me have so many questions about neutrinos every fucking time. You don’t even have to mention them and I’ll start thinking about them.
10 million super clusters each containing hundreds of thousands of galaxies. Each galaxy containing hundreds of millions of stars and we can't even reach the closest star to us at only 4 LR away. Everything here on Earth is so comically insignificant when you think about all of that.
If the earth was in the middle of the bootes void, wed have never detected a single star until the late 1960s, assuming our astronomical technology grew like it had historically up to now
2 questions, 44 minutes in: 1. Doesn’t time pass faster in the absence of gravity? Could this explain the disparity in the way dark energy is pushing things apart? 2. Could the existence of unexplainable massive voids hint at an infinite universe at a grander scale than we ever imagined?
It’s crazy that there’s a cluster named after a three headed space dragon with electric powers and that is enemies with a big radioactive lizard 2:00 😂
“Fantastically written episode,” I think to myself. I really don’t watch typically, just no time for video content more often than not. Then I learn that Paul Sutter wrote it. This is the second time… Bravo to the content creators!
Loved this doc, worth the watch as there's lots of great info. As a SEMANTIC point, I object to classifying a galactic supercluster as "the biggest *thing* in the universe" -- a supercluster is more accurately a conglomerate of things, in my view. By way of analogy, the biggest *thing* in my bedroom is not my bedroom set, which is comprised of my bedframe, headboard, footboard, dressers, and mirror. While a bedroom set is a *thing* by definition, it is a conglomerate of many individual *things* of different sizes. In the context of qualifying objects as "the most/best/biggest/strongest/etc" it's more honest to stick to individual objects rather than a group of related objects.
Imagine teleporting to the middle of the super-void with a fully functional space suit and then you cant teleport back to safety. Imagine being in a darkness so deep and vast as to be immeasurable. Light would need to travel for 1.5 BILLION years to reach something other than this incredible nothingness.
Our earth, solar system, and galaxy exist at the ‘planck’ scale in comparison to size the universe! And more than likely are infinitely smaller than that. This realization is so mind boggling when you truly take in how limitless it all is. In fact, it’s so wondrous and scary that it brings tears to my eyes. How could something actually exist? And be so incredible?
"...so, too, does the light of galaxy after galaxy light up the filaments and clusters, and yet are dwarfed into nothingness by the nothingness between." Poetic and terrifying.

That information is really good to know, but ultimately not useful for our survival and in no way helps us accomplish any task (unless you're an Astrophysicist or Astroengineer)
This is by far my favorite channel to smoke out to. I feel like the channel's subtitle should be "Whoa dude!"
The emptiness of atoms is another example.
A buddy of mine says matter is just "slightly polluted vacuum"...
Kind of crazy that if you compress atoms to the point of not having any empty space, the sun would be about 20 miles in diameter, aka a neutron star
@@wyvvernstoneif there is a vacuum there must be something that constitutes a different state. Otherwise it would all be a vacuum and never given such notice.
@@OnlyGrafting I'm sure that made more sense in your head...
@@wyvvernstone your buddy has his point... he may be right. We humans are important (at least in our own minds). But we are so fractal, such MINIMAL part of all this existence!❤️
I’m very appreciative of the hard work that goes into researching these videos, and in awe of your script writing skills.
He doesn't write all his scripts
He could have also perhaps explained that the word avoid originated from a void.
Reported, cry about it
Just so were are being accurate: voids are not empty. Even the "emptiest" voids contain more than 15% of the average matter density of the universe. This includes dark matter, hydrogen, and small, dim dwarf galaxies.
Imagine living inside a dwarf Galaxy, even if it's 1/1,000th thr size of our own, we still could have a habitable planet inside a really nice solar system with countless Billions of stars to see in the sky. But we wouldn't probably know that other Galaxies existed until we invented Infared Microwave Detectors and discovered the CMBR.

Look at the sheer scale and size of the universe and existence. You cant possibly believe the universe exists specifically for us. That's so ridiculous, there is no doubt life exists elsewhere it would be ignorant to not think so.
People are really out here thinking that a deity made ALL of this literally unfathomable expanse, just for us to sit on an spec of dust and follow the laws of some old book written by BCE era men.
@@helios2664 Exactly what's happening we are specs of dust on a rock fighting over the rock. People could say its much more than that but it truly isn't.

@@michellejohnsen912I love how you people always feel the need to push your crap onto others. The most pushy and cancerous religion of them all. Get over yourself and your false idol
Size means nothing if life only evolves very rarely. We could be the first civilization, or the last civilization, or anywhere between. Time is one of the biggest factors. A civilization may arise once every 10,000 years, once in every galaxy, but fall before the next civilization arises. One thing we'd certainly expect to see is much clearer signs of habitation in the universe. In a universe teeming with civilizations, especially powerful ones, you'd expect even unadvanced civilizations to be able to tell. It shouldn't even be a matter of the right equipment, because you'd see structures that could only exist from artificial means.
I'm not just talking things like measuring the light of stars or infrared output of a solar system to see if there's a dyson sphere, but even bigger signs than those. From signs of possible massive creatures bigger than a solar system, to structures that span multiple solar systems. Some we could have already seen but just don't have the capacity to interpret yet, but certainly not all would be in that category. Yet we still have not even one thing we can definitively say is artificial. So for the most part, we can say the universe is virtually untouched, which points us to infer things about life in the universe. We may very much be alone, or due to speed limits and the nature of time and distances of space, we may never interact with another civilization.
We wouldn't just need a civilization to exist, but also one that is near a similar level, in order to even be safe to interact. We're not going to be able to do much with cavemen aliens on another planet, and if our advancement level was that compared to an even more advanced civilization, they would probably think the same, so interaction doesn't happen, or results in annihilation of the other. So you wouldn't just need 2 civilizations nearby each other at the same time (which is already an extraordinarily low probability), but also ones that require tons of other factors like being physically/mentally and technology developed enough to interact in a way that would be mutually beneficial.
So you could have life develop every 10 lightyears on average, but due to all those factors, the universe would be just as lonely for most civilizations. It's possible that the statistics are, for every 1 billion civilizations that develop, only 2 are able to interact....and it's also possible that the lifetime of the universe may never actually reach that 1 billion civilizations point, which means the entire universe can come and go with every civilization that was ever in it, having always been alone.
FUN FACT :: even atoms themselves ARE mostly empty space.
i find it to be REALLY, QUITE AWESOME that such an arrangement ALSO extends to large scales such as that of our entire known universe.
Atoms are mostly empty space, sub atomic particles are mostly empty space. Id almost argue that depending on where you draw the line, matter doesn't even exist.
Thats because it does not exist. Not in the way we think atleast. If we would be able to create a microscope with enough “zoom” I bet we’ll come to the conclusion that reality as we know might be “fake” and the true nature of pur reality is nothing more than vibrations, where what we would perceive as “matter” just has a bigger density of vibrations in comparison with non-matter.
@@TheOriginalMcJunior look up the unified field. It's below sub-atomic particles It's basically a bubbling field that pops things in and out of existence and it permeates all areas of space. I think it's the same as "zero-point energy"

After 27 minutes I’m surprised this channel isn’t already at 1 million subs. ❤
Very informative and relatively accurate content presented in a concise and yet engaging monologue.
I wish I lived in ancient Egypt , this is too much .
I love this channel so much, i really like astronomy and philosophy content, and i'm usually very picky about which videos to choose to look at and which channel to subscribe to, but this channel has it ALL!
- Consistent rich information to learn from
- Amazing visuals that aligns with the content
- An animator with a soothing voice
- A philosophical angle
- Takes you to a whole other realm
- Shows new perspectives of life and makes you ask urself new questions
- Lenghty videos that i can also sleep to
- Public and easy access without too much annoying included ads
This whole channel is absolute perfection! Keep up the good work, i am so happy whenever a new video drops! 💙
Lots of love and admiration to all the people who work on this 🙏 (from Morocco)

OMG... The movie "The Never Ending Story" featured a villain simply called The Nothing that grew nearly to consume the fantasy world. Didn't realized it was speculative fiction :)
I remember that movie, wow nostalgia.
I always took it as a metaphor for the death of imagination.
The luck dragon is Falcor. And you never see the nothing in this film. The nothing is just that. Nothing. The non belief of Fantasia and its inhabitants.
The Gmork (the scary ass wolf thing) is its herald.
Just as likely to exist somewhere as not existing.
That was and is still a good movie ah the old school memories 😊

This is one of the best channels on UA-cam hands down
This is really great content!!
Excellent job, friend.
Thsnk you
we take this knowledge for granted. we have no idea how much of a privilege it is to know these things. the universe and our infinitely miniscule place in it will never cease to amaze me.
It always blows me away when i think about what we knew 100, or hell, even 50 years ago as compared to what we know now, especially about space....we are truly in the golden age for astronomical learning
You put a lot of work into these scripts. Another great video. Keep up the great work.
These videos always fill me with a sense of “nothing matters”.
Consider this, though: what would it take for things to matter? Or in other words: what features must a universe possess in order for its human inhabitants to attach genuine meaning to life, love, existence, and everything else? It turns out that this question isn't as easy to answer as it might seem.
The assumption is that the modern universe that we know and fear offers less meaning than other possible universes. It offers, for instance, less meaning than the earthbound "world" of the past, where we lived and died -- meaningfully -- all while remaining blissfully unaware of the universe beyond. The argument might go something like this: in a universe this vast and indifferent, meaning washes out with the vastness and in the absence of top-down authority. Any meaning that can be found in this universe is purely human-generated. It is true that we can *give* life meaning, but this subjective form of meaning is deficient relative to the *objective* meaning another universe might afford us.
Let's say, then, that the universe truly was the way that we used to think it was a few centuries ago: limited in extent, static, and presided over by a deity. Where does meaning come from in this universe? Are our lives any more meaningful because we are surrounded by a mere galaxy (or a mere solar system) instead of an infinite spacetime teeming with stars and quasars and relativistic jets and exomoons and all the rest? Your answer may differ, but this smaller universe doesn't seem any more or less "meaningful" -- or at least there is no obvious reason why it would be so. Shrinking the universe does not appear to make it more meaningful, only less daunting.
Meaning must come from the presence of a deity, then. But what is it about *this* relationship that would give our lives meaning? If the deity gave us an endless series of quests to occupy our time, would these quests give our lives meaning? If the deity instituted a kind of reward/punishment system for completing (or failing to complete) His quests, would these rewards and punishments give our lives meaning? It doesn't seem obvious why this arrangement would be any more meaningful than our current configuration. We might well ask ourselves whether these divine honey-dos from on high were meaningful at all -- and the response ("because the deity assigned them to us") doesn't seem especially satisfying. And if no one divine task is inherently meaningful, it follows that a lifetime -- or an eternity -- of such tasks would also fall short of the sort of meaning we seek. In the end, whether these divine quests mattered to us or not would seem to depend on how *humans* felt about them. Even in a small, regimented, and supervised universe, we would have to create our own meaning -- or to accord meaning to things -- for there to be any meaning at all.
Perhaps this tells us more about the nature of meaning than it does about the nature of the universe. By definition, conscious beings accord meaning *to things.* Meaning does not inhere in objects, not even objects as big as the universe. Meaning exists only in the interaction between thinking things and the things that thinking things observe. Meaning is bestowed, not found.
@@ifsowhynot consider this: that was a clever joke about the topic of the video, and it flew right over your head 😛
Nothing does matter. We only think it matters.
The universe leaves it up to you to find meaning. Isn't one good day enough?

Makes you wonder how much of the 600 km/s velocity towards virgo is from gravitational pull and how much of it comes from the pushing from dark energy
It is believed the pull is caused bei virgo, shapley and the vela supercluster. But as u know, they develop new theories and make new discovers every now and then xD

Just discovered this channel today. Absolutely amazing content. Some of the best I've seen on UA-cam. Subscribed!
10 million super clusters each containing hundreds of thousands of galaxies. Each galaxy containing hundreds of millions of stars and we can't even reach the closest star to us at only 4 LR away. Everything here on Earth is so comically insignificant when you think about all of that.
I know but I still want a new truck 😅
Everything is insignificant when you put it that way. Trying to find meaning in that sea of nothingness is life.
Yet Religion says we are special...what's more likely...we are very special...or they made it all up to control...?
I think it’s a very beautiful way of thinking.
The earth is insignificant to the universe, but it shouldn't be insignificant to you. It's your home and everything you know is here
At this point im convinced our entire universe is contained in the gastrointestinal track of an organism.
If the earth was in the middle of the bootes void, wed have never detected a single star until the late 1960s, assuming our astronomical technology grew like it had historically up to now
So, you're saying it's big.
Kanye West's ego is the biggest thing in the universe!!!

You don't build the empty rooms in a building.... you build the walks ceilings and floors.
But the nature of nothing in the universe IS substantial. Empty space IS something so it's not flawed logic. Your metaphor fails.
The empty rooms of the universe are why we even have a concept of anything else; they’re fundamental to the universe
And you talk about the size of the room, not the size of the walls.
my man, respectfully, if this is all you can conceptualize then maybe content on cosmology just isn't for you
Okay, but this is kind of like saying the Mona Lisa only exists because of everything that isn't the Mona Lisa in its general vicinity.

2 questions, 44 minutes in:
1. Doesn’t time pass faster in the absence of gravity? Could this explain the disparity in the way dark energy is pushing things apart?
2. Could the existence of unexplainable massive voids hint at an infinite universe at a grander scale than we ever imagined?

Really beautifully written. Bravo!
This is deeply inspiring and thought provoking, thank you.
“Fantastically written episode,” I think to myself. I really don’t watch typically, just no time for video content more often than not. Then I learn that Paul Sutter wrote it. This is the second time… Bravo to the content creators!
This was more trippy than I thought, very cool documentary!
Whenever this guy uploads, it always makes my day. Brings me true happiness.
Loved this doc, worth the watch as there's lots of great info.
As a SEMANTIC point, I object to classifying a galactic supercluster as "the biggest *thing* in the universe" -- a supercluster is more accurately a conglomerate of things, in my view. By way of analogy, the biggest *thing* in my bedroom is not my bedroom set, which is comprised of my bedframe, headboard, footboard, dressers, and mirror. While a bedroom set is a *thing* by definition, it is a conglomerate of many individual *things* of different sizes. In the context of qualifying objects as "the most/best/biggest/strongest/etc" it's more honest to stick to individual objects rather than a group of related objects.
The cosmic web is infinite and therefore the biggest thing, it litterally shows us that everything is connected ❤
infinity is an abstract concept, something we can neither observe nor measure in its entirety.
Thank you so much for this breathtaking documentary, and your beautiful perspective on voids.
Mind blown. Watching this, there is smoke coming out of my ears.
So grateful that the scientific method exists and that stubbornly curious scientists continue to demystify our existence and our place in reality.
You're getting very very good at editing. Keep it up.
Along the lines of this same topic, I would love an in depth documentary about the Great Attractor.
Imagine teleporting to the middle of the super-void with a fully functional space suit and then you cant teleport back to safety. Imagine being in a darkness so deep and vast as to be immeasurable. Light would need to travel for 1.5 BILLION years to reach something other than this incredible nothingness.
Our earth, solar system, and galaxy exist at the ‘planck’ scale in comparison to size the universe! And more than likely are infinitely smaller than that. This realization is so mind boggling when you truly take in how limitless it all is. In fact, it’s so wondrous and scary that it brings tears to my eyes. How could something actually exist? And be so incredible?
"...so, too, does the light of galaxy after galaxy light up the filaments and clusters, and yet are dwarfed into nothingness by the nothingness between."
Poetic and terrifying.
