I love your work, a perfect mix of amazing facts and entertaining visuals. You mentioned Blake's poem. If I may, I'd like to share a poem with you of my own, which I think will very much appeal to your interests. How do I get in touch?
The production values, storytelling and educativeness are mind-bogglingly great. But even more than that, I admire your way of telling everything in such an inspiring and calming way. Your work works on so many levels: it's visually pleasing, intellectually stimulating and even, indeed, therapeutic. This is something the world needs.
@@MM-pv5tp You are wrong. Look up the definition of science, and you understand that religion is not a part of that. I am telling religious people to get away from the science community. It's like you having a car club and I go in there talking shit about cars, trying to get everyone riding a bicycle instead.
I don't know much about this, but I'm sure animating all this his such a hard work and takes very long. This isn't only a scientist, this is a hardworking animator!
I think about this stuff on a daily basis and it's frustrating because most people want to talk about other stuff, but I always want to talk about THIS stuff. My curiosity and wonder have never faded from my first memories of childhood. I'm 44 years old and every day I wake up I'm in complete awe of this existence we call life. Thank you for making this video.
@chazzat3113 right!? It boggles the mind how most people...or at least many people simply don't make any of this part of their regular conversations. Maybe it's overwhelming? Idk.
Haha! The premise behind that was so crazy, they banished the most dangerous guy in the universe to the quantum world and the location they chose was? … Seemingly the floor of Hank Pym’s lab 😂 literally the only place in the Universe not to do that
@@NidoMittensThe idea is that the quantum realm still doesn't make a lot of sense to us as it is still unexplored. The basic physics do not apply there. It is already known that some quantum particles can exist at different places in a space at the same time. So the quantum universe where Kang was banished to could only be in Hanks lab but it could also be everywhere else at the same time. At least that's how I see it. Of course, it could also just be a logic flaw of the movie
When they were in the mini verse they require ships to travel before getting to kang. Hanks house was just the only place a door was opened into that world.
Thank you! So pleased to have you here and enjoying the channel, I tried to make this one as helpful as possible because I get a bit lost with all the different sizes and it’s useful to have a bit of a map
I’ll say it again, the fact that this guy is not on Netflix blows my mind. He’s the only person I have to stop a video halfway through to comment how amazing I think it is well done my man!
I know it's a compliment, but Netflix is walled in for those who pay, and they would pay him some amount of money. BBC would be the same. Not only that but they'd likely want all episodes to be the same length to conform not to the subject, but to how long they want them to be. UA-cam lets creators access everyone (even those who don't have funds or don't want subscription services), and depending on their own number of viewers (although it might be very rare) and patrons, they can potentially even earn more than putting it on a paid service. Thus, at least until/unless UA-cam changes its model (it is scheming to get as much money as possible, like the other corporations), this is the best place these documentaries could be. Just because people have to pay to watch things doesn't make that service better. So I understand that's a compliment, but I also think that you need to not respect paid services more than free ones.
Feels like a blessing, I’d hate that our education comes at a price when everyone benefits from it. That’s not to say the creator would be malicious for creating it at a cost, but rather he is a blessing for giving us information to help us better understand our world and our lives. So that we have the opportunity to use that information for a greater purpose.
He's not kidding. I work with DNA on a daily basis and the numbers we use still makes my head spin. We're typically targeting 50 nanograms of DNA per microliter of water and only use 4 microliters as our input volume for microarray experiments. When performing sequencing, however, we go even further and get down to 20 picograms per microliter of water. Picograms!
if you work with dna maybe you can answer one thing: when he counts he says a bacterium is 1million times smaller than us, but that serms WAAY to big considering we habe billions of cells
@@giulio7918 I thought the exact same thing. I'm wondering if he means a million times smaller based on total length and not volume. Kinda like the Earth is about 100 times smaller than the Sun based on diameter, but 1.3 million times smaller based on total volume.
@@giulio7918 he was showing difference in size not volume. As your size decreases, your volume decreases at a much faster rate. A mathematician could probably tell you this rate
@@mexx2602 volume is cubic related to lenght. You can concatinate 1 million bacteria to each other to a lenght of around a meter (depends on bacteria). You need 1 million chains of them laid one by one to cover a square meter. You have to pile 1 million of these squares to get a 1m³ cube of them. Idealized you can put 1.000.000³ bacteria (each a cube of 1μm³) in cube of 1m³ Sorry for my bad english 😊
Another fantastic episode! Brilliant idea with the 10x memorization trick, and I loved the explanation of the exponential vs linear pull away shot. This is by far the best science content I’ve ever encountered in terms of concept, content, and awe-inspiring visuals. I’m proud to be one of your early supporters…and congrats on your new sponsor!
Thank you! As always I really appreciate your support and congratulations yourself again for hitting one million subs recently, you’re doing great and the kind words, support and Patreon mean the world, cheers!
As I was watching this I had similar thoughts. Mine were, “I’m sending this to each of my five twenty-something year old kids to show their children, telling them, ‘This is the single most educational video I’ve seen - ever.’” (And I’ve watched literally thousands over the last ten years.)
I'm in Australia and was about to go to bed at 3am when I saw this at the top of my recommended list. Needless to say, sleep was quickly deemed unimportant! I only discovered the channel a week ago, and figured I'd be waiting months for another one. I salute you sir, these are just about the highest quality and most informative videos I've seen on you tube, and I have a lot off varied interests. Thank you Epic Spaceman, and thank you algorithm.
Amazing! Thanks so much for all the kind words and high praise, Australia is awesome too, now do please go get some sleep! P.s. great to have you here on the channel!
@@EpicSpaceman He's really not lying, I think I said the same on a previous video...I watch way too much UA-cam and yours is literally the only channel I know I'm going to be sending my kids whatever you've created. And no pressure, just keep enjoying making videos you like 😁
Commenting so the algorithm can push your works to the recommended page, People NEEDS to see your channel and videos! This Quality of the work is amazing! I hope you prosper here in youtube!
This, my friend, was absolutely amazing. The shot with you on the dune, saying that poem ,with the music playing, was as beautiful as it gets. Thank you.
Thank you, that’s very kind, I was very proud of that one, I did the whole shot in about a day and that’s pretty unusual for me, but it all came together and worked first go, just as I sort of had it in my head, usually there’s lots more tweaking
@@EpicSpaceman It's a good thing that you recognized when something was good even when fast. Sometimes people think that if they got it done easily or quickly that rather than it being a serendipitous occasion or them being in the zone that they did the opposite and are fucking it up.
If UA-cam had awards for beautiful and very informative videos, you would win. You opened my eyes to the world of the very, very small. Looking forward to your next video.
This is one of the coolest creative beautiful science videos I've ever seen! The title caught my eye and man am I happy I clicked. Seriously this was amazing, you're amazing for creating this!
It's like the other direction of scale, i.e., to imagine a space journey to the edges of our solar system. The first part, leaving Earth, seems spectacular, as we can observe the growing distance from our home planet as a quickly changing scenery. But, after some time, that becomes boring, as we see that distance increasing ever so slowly. It takes forever to approach Jupiter and then Saturn, while we still can see Earth as a shrinking disk. Shrinking on an immeasurable rate. An animation would perform the same trick with the accelerated speed, skipping the boring parts of the journey, where the perspective changes ever so slowly.
the very atoms that make us are made up of mostly empty space! its insane to think about that even the most solid objects technically have tons of space but for me makes it more understandable thinking about the crush of black holes and neutron stars...putting the mass of Mt. Everest in the space of a table spoon!
@117swordsmen I am not sure how accurate this comparison is, but it remember being told in school that a hydrogen atom for example, is equivalent to a football pitch with football in centre representing nucleus and a pea circling the parameter. In any case (accurate or not), it does illustrate the vast amount of space between atoms. I have often thought, that somewhere within this scale is an explanation for where dark matter/energy is and why it does appear to interact with what we see or can understand
been awhile since i have subscribed to a new UA-cam channel. I wanted to click that button as soon as i finished this video. your explanation, story telling and professionalism of the video and sound are A+.
This is easily one of the best TEDTalk-type non-TEDTalk content out there. Thanks for making some really epic content! ;) I already loved everything about the video, and then, in came the poem; such a beautiful way to connect the worlds of art, and science! ❤
its the fact that you can see the coin in the background as if its a mountainscape, thats whats really making me understand the scale of these things, thank you for creating this
Mr. Epic makes his videos without a team. It may take longer, but the wait is like waiting for a new season of a favorite show. You know it'll be worth it. I'm glad to see the audience numbers climbing rapidly - cudos, well deserved!
Thank you! Really appreciate that perspective, I know the pain of waiting for that new season though so I will try to make things a bit more regular going forward!
@@EpicSpacemanI seriously imagined an entire team and rented out office building and everything. You’re amazing. This made me feel like a little kid again watching science videos and being blown away ❤ Made me emotional/nostalgic
Honestly this is such amazing content. Visually stunning, especially the lighting is so crispy. I appreciate the small "unnecessary" details, they really polish the whole product. I always had this innate fascination for Space and you help me explore that. Honestly sending some love from Germany, keep doing what you love, cheers!
I’ve been watching science videos all of my life but this has to be the most thoughtful, intuitive, intelligently crafted videos I have ever seen. So much detail and clear communication! Please never stop doing what you are doing because people like you change the world!
This is the first video of yours that I've ever seen, but my God, I'm subscribing instantly. It's very reminiscent of Carl Sagan and Cosmos, and I can think of no higher compliment.
@@EpicSpaceman same here, brother! I think your channel is gonna blow up soon! this is instant subscribe, you deserve a lot more of eyeballs! I can imagine this as a new type of learning tools in schools! I would much rather to watch your stuff all day, than listen to my high school teacher... :D Thank you!
Another way to think about it: if it takes 10 seconds to zoom out from atom -> DNA, which is slightly slower than in the video, but makes the math clean, then it'll be... 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) to go from DNA -> bad virus 1,000 seconds (16 minutes 40 seconds) to go from bad virus -> good virus 10,000 seconds (2 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from good virus -> bacteria 100,000 seconds (1 day, 3 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from bacteria -> red blood cell 1,000,000 seconds (11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from red blood cell -> tardigrade 10,000,000 seconds (115 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from tardigrade -> edge of a coin 100,000,000 seconds (3 years, 62 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from edge of a coin -> coin 1,000,000,000 seconds (31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from coin -> banana And then more than another *three hundred* years to go from banana -> human. If you were to keep going, assuming a six-foot-tall human, it would take over ten billion years to get to the scale of Earth, a relatively small single planet in the vastness of the universe (and halfway there the Earth will have been incinerated by the Sun's supernova anyway). Pretty wild stuff.
@@DdavidoffC Great explanation, but only one mistake: the Sun will not end as a supernova (not even a nova), because of its small mass. It will reach the size of a Red Giant, swallowing the Earth, and then a white dwarf.
Some of the most well made content i have ever seen . You cant fake true passion and it shines in your videos, narration and careful attention to detail. Not to mention the time it takes you. Thank you so much for bringing some wonder back
Now that I think about it the camera trick does make a lot of sense. If you could fly a drone into space, flying out far enough to see the whole solar system would take an exceptionally long time
Just out to Neptune is like 10^13m so it would take much longer than 30 years as that was just 10 steps not 13, I definitely haven’t checked this but my guess is if it were going at 45mph like my one it would be like 30,000 years give or take an order of magnitude. The solar system is much bigger than most of us expect it to be.
What an incredible style and clarity to these videos! The whole concept is so unpretentious and direct, and spoken so calmly, it's an amazing result. I'll be back to watch more in the series!
this is by far, without a doubt, the most well made, most informative, best visual representation ive ever seen... this is what learning needs to be like, and should be like.
There are very few or little things where I'll watch with 100% focus and attention, without looking through my phone or using it as background music but I clicked on this straight away. I've watched all your other videos a couple months ago when I found you and I will HAPPILY wait and wait for your videos because they are such a highlight!
One Of the Best Videos I Have Ever Seen on the Microscopic World. Great Work, Loved the Poetry in the End and Also Explaining the Camera Works and How Small is an Atom. 👍👍
no one ever told me that zooming out at camera speed from atom to human scale takes 30 years to complete that's even more mind-blowing to know than reading quantum mechanics or even black hole never used to see the scale of things in this manner, really great content sir keep up the great work, you really are a gem in the Sea of UA-camrs
Someone in the comment section did the actual math. In reality, it would take 30 years from the atom to reach till the banana. It would take even more than 300 years to reach from the banana till a full size human.
This video just come out of nowhere . I am so glad . It feels so good to watch something of this quality. I believe you would have many supporter and I will be one of them
10:17 Dude! Thats an epic planet lander module design! I love the walking feet! SPACEX and NASA should consider this walking design for real! I had to point this out. Its a small detail that most people wont notice, so i wanted to point it out! Excellent Creativity Epic Spaceman 👍
Marvelous indeed. Every second of it remained interesting and compelling. And yes, light will not behave similarly to our human scale experience anymore, due to the wavelength of visible light. So, depicting small objects, as if they were large, is an artistic twist, needed to retain the viewer's focus on the essence of scale. Somehow, that is similar to the way scientists twist the colours of deep space pictures from planetary nebulae. The colours are not as the human eye would have seen it, but, the purpose of such pictures is to enhance the visualisation of such objects, using camera and filter technology to discern different cloud materials, so as to add to scientific understanding, as well as to the sheer awe and wonder of it all.
I had no idea he'd uploaded another video, so I was BEYOND excited when I looked it up and saw that there was one I hadn't seen! This channel is so far past phenomenal that there really are no words to describe it. It's like taking your mind on a joyride and nothing else even begins to compare.
First video I have seen of yours and it was an instant subscribe. Not only was it insanely high quality but the time and effort you put into trying to teach us seriously deserves a round of applause.
So far the best explanation on scales! I like your calm voice, factual influence and interest in what you are presenting to us! I applaud and thank you for creating such content for all of us!
I personally can't wait for you working full time on those upcoming videos. Kudos to this jaw-dropping quality and... I didn't expect to see Blake's Poem. All those astronauts really growing more and more every time new video dropped, happy for you! Keep the quality up!
@@EpicSpaceman You are doing it pretty well! On your last video my mouth was wide open the moment I notice the change in illumination right before you presented the mass of that blackhole through the amount of stars that forms it.
Its hard to imagine that as infinite space might be, the micro cosmos is just as infinite. Atoms, which are the smallest thing we can see, are made up of other particles that are made of other smaller particles etc etc. It's actually kind of terrifying that the microscopic cosmos might go on forever in theory.
There is a theoretical limit, the planck scale. But I don't think anyone can actually prove that, since it's many orders of magnitude below anything we can measure.
@@larion2336 right now yes it is a theoretical limit. but maybe in the future we could see beyond that and unlock/access lower dimensions or higher. what if below us was a full pledge universe, and same above us. infinity in both sides.
This is amazing that you try to teach people in a simple way and use such beautiful graphics, colors , suspense and music to keep people interested . Along with a soothing tone of voice to not make some people get frustrated
this is amazing. Couldn't emphasize more how informative and relaxing this video was. I even watched the ad at the end with full attention and focus lol
Much respect, this was awesome! The linear camera movement was such a clever idea and then pointing out it would take 30 years was a HUGE realization moment for me... That's where the appreciation for the small and the big world kicked in and it made me feel, ironically, quite small
Ok the 30 year comment really staggered me. I went from comprehending what is being said to hearing how long it would take to zoom out and instantly being hit by a wave of emotions that I can’t even describe in words. Absolutely mind blown 🤯
Almost thought you’d given up. I don’t have loyalty to the videos I watch but for your videos , they are different, and based on the time it takes for you to post, I’d think they are difficult to make or you get discouraged sometimes. Don’t man. You make amazing stuff, yours are the only videos I actually click on ( and then advertisements hell ) but worth it. Love your craft and delivery man. Keep em coming.
@@EpicSpaceman If this video took you 4 months I am super amazed, especially that you did it yourself. Such a high quality, what do you use for 3D modeling if I may ask?
Thank you for all the videos! I'm beyond happy that I came across your channel, it's truly a bummer that UA-cam doesn't recommend such videos. I must admit when you made the drone speed zoom out I thought it will play the rest of the video so like 6-7min... then you said it will take 30years and I flip my desk... you wasn't joking when you said "It's even crazier than that"
@@EpicSpaceman That may be so, however, it is something that many non-artistic minds in the scientific community have tried to do, and some of their 'graphics' are not that bad. The advent of remarkable cgi is with us in earnest now, and I am certain that a mind like yours already has already 'visualised' subatomic particles. I'd be fascinated to see your vision of The Standard Model.
This is a delightful and visually stunning video with much useful information about how to view scale! For many years, I've used scale examples to help folks understand how terribly wrong the usual portrayals of atoms are, focusing in particular on how in an atom the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a large grain of sand. The electrons shown moving around reflect an even greater reality distortion, with all testable versions of how electrons appear to an outside probe giving a result far more like the electron clouds of chemistry than the point-like particles physics prefers. I will add one small suggestion: Beware of the danger of false endings. That's when the description seems to enter an ending phase that makes the viewer think the video is almost over when it is not. Viewers are willing to stay for longer videos but need clarification if they feel the video is about to end midway, such as when you reach the hydrogen atom. At that point, I recall becoming deeply puzzled at what would come next. A short bit of preface up front that explicitly names the parts of your video would help, e.g., the scaling journey, the speed journey, and infinity in your hand.
Thank you! This was thoughtfully written and much appreciated, good advice on the pacing and false ending too, I could have done a better job there when I wrote the script. I think originally actually I made it into different parts but somewhere along the line lost that.Your football stadium metaphor is remarkable because it’s almost exactly the same as one I’ve written a script for, I’ll definitely be exploring that world of empty atoms soon. Bill Bryson I think described it as flies in a Cathedral which blew me away. Thanks again for the kind words!
I'm astounded at what your able to do and the way you seamlessly get complex information into a understandable form. I tincker with video editing and I find that alone difficult. I'm amazed that you created these beautiful worlds and fill them with Wonder. Trully Outstanding.
This Video is AMAZING! What beauty and artistry, and I really appreciate putting size and scale into context, because it's truly difficult for us humans to comprehend
Fun fact, if you go the other way, zooming in at a linear speed? Let's give ourselves 10 seconds. Let's say that it takes 9 seconds to zoom down to the size of a banana. Then for the next second, you see a incomprehensible blur before you just see an atom. It goes Human, banana, instant blur. 10 minutes? Sure. 9 minutes to zoom in on a banana, 54 seconds to get to the coin, and then incomprehensible blur.
I was hoping he would set the speed to "level 5" so we could see both the blur and the slo-mo, but going to the extreme of a 30 year zoom out is certainly more dramatic😊
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Every time I see a new video from this channel I immediately get excited and can’t wait to watch it! It’s so far beyond anything else I’ve seen.

@@giulio7918 he was showing difference in size not volume. As your size decreases, your volume decreases at a much faster rate. A mathematician could probably tell you this rate
@@mexx2602 volume is cubic related to lenght. You can concatinate 1 million bacteria to each other to a lenght of around a meter (depends on bacteria). You need 1 million chains of them laid one by one to cover a square meter. You have to pile 1 million of these squares to get a 1m³ cube of them.
Idealized you can put 1.000.000³ bacteria (each a cube of 1μm³) in cube of 1m³
Sorry for my bad english 😊
im a dude and i got a bit hard on this haha jezzzz
I can not imagine the work that went into this. So well done.
Thank you! It took a while! But all the positivity from people like yourself makes it all worthwhile
Another fantastic episode! Brilliant idea with the 10x memorization trick, and I loved the explanation of the exponential vs linear pull away shot. This is by far the best science content I’ve ever encountered in terms of concept, content, and awe-inspiring visuals. I’m proud to be one of your early supporters…and congrats on your new sponsor!
Thank you! As always I really appreciate your support and congratulations yourself again for hitting one million subs recently, you’re doing great and the kind words, support and Patreon mean the world, cheers!
I'm so glad he brought that up. I literally never realized that the camera is firing out like a rocket! it is somewhat deceiving to our perception.
As I was watching this I had similar thoughts. Mine were, “I’m sending this to each of my five twenty-something year old kids to show their children, telling them, ‘This is the single most educational video I’ve seen - ever.’” (And I’ve watched literally thousands over the last ten years.)
THIS is why UA-cam exists. Truly epic, brother. The worlds within worlds within worlds. Fascinating! Thank you for this!
Right ! OG content like this is what UA-cam needs to push
I'm in Australia and was about to go to bed at 3am when I saw this at the top of my recommended list. Needless to say, sleep was quickly deemed unimportant! I only discovered the channel a week ago, and figured I'd be waiting months for another one. I salute you sir, these are just about the highest quality and most informative videos I've seen on you tube, and I have a lot off varied interests. Thank you Epic Spaceman, and thank you algorithm.
Amazing! Thanks so much for all the kind words and high praise, Australia is awesome too, now do please go get some sleep! P.s. great to have you here on the channel!
@@EpicSpaceman He's really not lying, I think I said the same on a previous video...I watch way too much UA-cam and yours is literally the only channel I know I'm going to be sending my kids whatever you've created. And no pressure, just keep enjoying making videos you like 😁

The scales in Australia is different. For example a bacterial is 10k times smaller a human, because Australia

Commenting so the algorithm can push your works to the recommended page, People NEEDS to see your channel and videos! This Quality of the work is amazing! I hope you prosper here in youtube!
This, my friend, was absolutely amazing. The shot with you on the dune, saying that poem ,with the music playing, was as beautiful as it gets. Thank you.
Thank you, that’s very kind, I was very proud of that one, I did the whole shot in about a day and that’s pretty unusual for me, but it all came together and worked first go, just as I sort of had it in my head, usually there’s lots more tweaking
@@EpicSpaceman I work a lot with chemistry and innovation. Seriously thinking of placing that quote in my office somewhere.
@@dennisklomp2361that would be very cool, it does seem rather appropriate
@@EpicSpaceman It's a good thing that you recognized when something was good even when fast. Sometimes people think that if they got it done easily or quickly that rather than it being a serendipitous occasion or them being in the zone that they did the opposite and are fucking it up.
If UA-cam had awards for beautiful and very informative videos, you would win. You opened my eyes to the world of the very, very small. Looking forward to your next video.
This is one of the coolest creative beautiful science videos I've ever seen! The title caught my eye and man am I happy I clicked. Seriously this was amazing, you're amazing for creating this!
The real zoomout finally made it click for me in order to visualize the actual scale. Brought a tear to my eye. 30 years! Thanks so much man.
It's like the other direction of scale, i.e., to imagine a space journey to the edges of our solar system. The first part, leaving Earth, seems spectacular, as we can observe the growing distance from our home planet as a quickly changing scenery. But, after some time, that becomes boring, as we see that distance increasing ever so slowly. It takes forever to approach Jupiter and then Saturn, while we still can see Earth as a shrinking disk. Shrinking on an immeasurable rate.
An animation would perform the same trick with the accelerated speed, skipping the boring parts of the journey, where the perspective changes ever so slowly.
When he said 30 I was expecting him to say hours.... then he said years, I said wow.
I like how there’s always space between everything.
So much space!
They used to say “Nature abhors emptiness”, but in reality, most of the nature is empty!! If fact >99.99% is empty!!!
the very atoms that make us are made up of mostly empty space! its insane to think about that even the most solid objects technically have tons of space but for me makes it more understandable thinking about the crush of black holes and neutron stars...putting the mass of Mt. Everest in the space of a table spoon!
@117swordsmen for Mt everest, even smaller then that. WAY smaller.
@117swordsmen
I am not sure how accurate this comparison is, but it remember being told in school that a hydrogen atom for example, is equivalent to a football pitch with football in centre representing nucleus and a pea circling the parameter.
In any case (accurate or not), it does illustrate the vast amount of space between atoms. I have often thought, that somewhere within this scale is an explanation for where dark matter/energy is and why it does appear to interact with what we see or can understand
This is phenomenal. One of the best things I have seen on UA-cam to this day.
been awhile since i have subscribed to a new UA-cam channel. I wanted to click that button as soon as i finished this video. your explanation, story telling and professionalism of the video and sound are A+.
This is easily one of the best TEDTalk-type non-TEDTalk content out there. Thanks for making some really epic content! ;)
I already loved everything about the video, and then, in came the poem; such a beautiful way to connect the worlds of art, and science! ❤
W🎉
its the fact that you can see the coin in the background as if its a mountainscape, thats whats really making me understand the scale of these things, thank you for creating this
Mr. Epic makes his videos without a team. It may take longer, but the wait is like waiting for a new season of a favorite show. You know it'll be worth it. I'm glad to see the audience numbers climbing rapidly - cudos, well deserved!
Thank you! Really appreciate that perspective, I know the pain of waiting for that new season though so I will try to make things a bit more regular going forward!
@@EpicSpacemanTake your time too though! It sucks to burn out as well
@@EpicSpacemanI seriously imagined an entire team and rented out office building and everything. You’re amazing. This made me feel like a little kid again watching science videos and being blown away ❤ Made me emotional/nostalgic
This is a solo project? Holy moly.
To paraphrase Jules-Pierre Mao: “And what do I do for a living? Make round buttons on Webpages”.
Showed up because Huge If True mentioned your channel at the end her Colin and Samir interview. So glad she did.
Oh amazing, thanks so much for letting me know, that was a super kind name check from them and I’m going to watch it all now!
Thanks for your hard work and videos, Spaceman!
That whole video was stunning... from the visuals to your insights. I've never heard it all broken down quite that well. Thank you so much!
You’re very much welcome! So pleased you enjoyed so much
Honestly this is such amazing content. Visually stunning, especially the lighting is so crispy. I appreciate the small "unnecessary" details, they really polish the whole product. I always had this innate fascination for Space and you help me explore that. Honestly sending some love from Germany, keep doing what you love, cheers!
I’ve been watching science videos all of my life but this has to be the most thoughtful, intuitive, intelligently crafted videos I have ever seen. So much detail and clear communication! Please never stop doing what you are doing because people like you change the world!
This is the first video of yours that I've ever seen, but my God, I'm subscribing instantly. It's very reminiscent of Carl Sagan and Cosmos, and I can think of no higher compliment.
Thanks so much, I can think of no higher compliment too, he was amazing and Cosmos was so groundbreaking
@@EpicSpaceman same here, brother! I think your channel is gonna blow up soon! this is instant subscribe, you deserve a lot more of eyeballs! I can imagine this as a new type of learning tools in schools! I would much rather to watch your stuff all day, than listen to my high school teacher... :D Thank you!
Same here brother.. amazing video, incredible quality..
"It would take 30 ..."
me: "minutes? yeah, that would be a long video"
ES: "... years"
me: "..."
Another way to think about it: if it takes 10 seconds to zoom out from atom -> DNA, which is slightly slower than in the video, but makes the math clean, then it'll be...
100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) to go from DNA -> bad virus
1,000 seconds (16 minutes 40 seconds) to go from bad virus -> good virus
10,000 seconds (2 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from good virus -> bacteria
100,000 seconds (1 day, 3 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from bacteria -> red blood cell
1,000,000 seconds (11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from red blood cell -> tardigrade
10,000,000 seconds (115 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from tardigrade -> edge of a coin
100,000,000 seconds (3 years, 62 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from edge of a coin -> coin
1,000,000,000 seconds (31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, 40 seconds) to go from coin -> banana
And then more than another *three hundred* years to go from banana -> human. If you were to keep going, assuming a six-foot-tall human, it would take over ten billion years to get to the scale of Earth, a relatively small single planet in the vastness of the universe (and halfway there the Earth will have been incinerated by the Sun's supernova anyway). Pretty wild stuff.
@@DdavidoffC Great explanation! Thanks for putting in the effort with this comment! 👍
@@DdavidoffC Great explanation, but only one mistake: the Sun will not end as a supernova (not even a nova), because of its small mass. It will reach the size of a Red Giant, swallowing the Earth, and then a white dwarf.
@@fisicartucr6337 Which is great because as a white dwarf it will probably outlive most of the universe itself.
Bro literally that shit floored me
one of the best video i've seen on YT
Thanks so much! I’m so pleased you hold it in such high regard
You're being sarcastic. Yep thought so.
Just what I have been looking for to watch. Superbly crafted videos about the universe with no loud music and no over excited narrator…
Some of the most well made content i have ever seen . You cant fake true passion and it shines in your videos, narration and careful attention to detail. Not to mention the time it takes you. Thank you so much for bringing some wonder back
Now that I think about it the camera trick does make a lot of sense. If you could fly a drone into space, flying out far enough to see the whole solar system would take an exceptionally long time
Just out to Neptune is like 10^13m so it would take much longer than 30 years as that was just 10 steps not 13, I definitely haven’t checked this but my guess is if it were going at 45mph like my one it would be like 30,000 years give or take an order of magnitude. The solar system is much bigger than most of us expect it to be.
Your videos are so unique, so well thought and within everyone's reach ! Great work !
What an incredible style and clarity to these videos!
The whole concept is so unpretentious and direct, and spoken so calmly, it's an amazing result.
I'll be back to watch more in the series!
One of my new favorite channels. Thanks for your hard work ❤
this is by far, without a doubt, the most well made, most informative, best visual representation ive ever seen... this is what learning needs to be like, and should be like.
There are very few or little things where I'll watch with 100% focus and attention, without looking through my phone or using it as background music but I clicked on this straight away. I've watched all your other videos a couple months ago when I found you and I will HAPPILY wait and wait for your videos because they are such a highlight!
One Of the Best Videos I Have Ever Seen on the Microscopic World. Great Work, Loved the Poetry in the End and Also Explaining the Camera Works and How Small is an Atom. 👍👍
no one ever told me that zooming out at camera speed from atom to human scale takes 30 years to complete that's even more mind-blowing to know than reading quantum mechanics or even black hole
never used to see the scale of things in this manner, really great content sir keep up the great work, you really are a gem in the Sea of UA-camrs
try this: time and space are literally the same thing. that's one of the consequences of relativity.
source: I have a physics degree.
Someone in the comment section did the actual math. In reality, it would take 30 years from the atom to reach till the banana. It would take even more than 300 years to reach from the banana till a full size human.
UA-cam finally recommending me some really good channels. I'm glad I found this channel❤
This video just come out of nowhere . I am so glad . It feels so good to watch something of this quality. I believe you would have many supporter and I will be one of them
Thank you! The support is much appreciated!
10:17 Dude! Thats an epic planet lander module design!
I love the walking feet!
SPACEX and NASA should consider this walking design for real!
I had to point this out. Its a small detail that most people wont notice, so i wanted to point it out! Excellent Creativity Epic Spaceman 👍
0:12 things are bizarre down there indeed.
You just keep living up to your username! Another epic video! Thank you sir
Haha, thank you! Always trying to do the wonderful stuff out there justice
Marvelous indeed. Every second of it remained interesting and compelling. And yes, light will not behave similarly to our human scale experience anymore, due to the wavelength of visible light. So, depicting small objects, as if they were large, is an artistic twist, needed to retain the viewer's focus on the essence of scale. Somehow, that is similar to the way scientists twist the colours of deep space pictures from planetary nebulae. The colours are not as the human eye would have seen it, but, the purpose of such pictures is to enhance the visualisation of such objects, using camera and filter technology to discern different cloud materials, so as to add to scientific understanding, as well as to the sheer awe and wonder of it all.
You need millions of subscribers, the quality of your videos are top tier
I had no idea he'd uploaded another video, so I was BEYOND excited when I looked it up and saw that there was one I hadn't seen! This channel is so far past phenomenal that there really are no words to describe it. It's like taking your mind on a joyride and nothing else even begins to compare.
Wow that was absolutely amazing. The special effects were beautiful. Thank you!
You’re very much welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
This channel is the only one I'm waiting for the next video to get uploaded and rewatching old ones again and again
First video I have seen of yours and it was an instant subscribe. Not only was it insanely high quality but the time and effort you put into trying to teach us seriously deserves a round of applause.
So far the best explanation on scales! I like your calm voice, factual influence and interest in what you are presenting to us! I applaud and thank you for creating such content for all of us!
I personally can't wait for you working full time on those upcoming videos. Kudos to this jaw-dropping quality and... I didn't expect to see Blake's Poem. All those astronauts really growing more and more every time new video dropped, happy for you! Keep the quality up!
that twist at the end blows my mind...incredible
Thank you! Always trying to get a twist in somewhere!
@@EpicSpaceman You are doing it pretty well! On your last video my mouth was wide open the moment I notice the change in illumination right before you presented the mass of that blackhole through the amount of stars that forms it.
utterly amazing. I do hope that this world is blessed to have you as a teacher. You're the best at explaining I've every seen.
This is how Ant-Man 3 should have looked like
So technically ant man should be time traveling every time he shrinks?
@@godlee4779 actually, very much yes
yeah they should show the growth in a consistent speed!
I thought it was the ant man first ':D
It looked good tbh
1:52 General Kenobi, you are a bold one!
Haha! Yes! So pleased you got it, I couldn’t resist dropping in on that alien looking thing like that
Tardigrade definitely had the high ground Lol
Its hard to imagine that as infinite space might be, the micro cosmos is just as infinite. Atoms, which are the smallest thing we can see, are made up of other particles that are made of other smaller particles etc etc. It's actually kind of terrifying that the microscopic cosmos might go on forever in theory.
There is a theoretical limit, the planck scale. But I don't think anyone can actually prove that, since it's many orders of magnitude below anything we can measure.
@@larion2336 right now yes it is a theoretical limit. but maybe in the future we could see beyond that and unlock/access lower dimensions or higher. what if below us was a full pledge universe, and same above us. infinity in both sides.
@@larion2336 I think its more a limit of our physics understanding, not a real limit.
@@carl-os4603 hence why it is theoretical
Infinite all the way up, infinite all the way down
The zoom out speed is a vital point in understanding these scales! Thank you for covering it in such detail!
Thank-you, sir. This is what UA-cam should be. Making education and learning understandable and fun. Double thumbs up.
Thank you! Appreciate the support
This is amazing that you try to teach people in a simple way and use such beautiful graphics, colors , suspense and music to keep people interested . Along with a soothing tone of voice to not make some people get frustrated
I have never seen anything quite like this channel. This guy deserves MUCH more credit. Keep the dream going! :)
This is so far the best educational content ive ever seen in any social media! Keep up the good work!❤❤
this is amazing. Couldn't emphasize more how informative and relaxing this video was. I even watched the ad at the end with full attention and focus lol
This is why I love UA-cam and have hope for us.
Because treasures like Epic Spaceman exists.
10/10. Perfect.
Thanks so much! Love the positivity
@@EpicSpaceman Seriously watched this video about 8 times now.
This is easily my favorite video on UA-cam about the micro & Nano verse
very well done.
Much respect, this was awesome! The linear camera movement was such a clever idea and then pointing out it would take 30 years was a HUGE realization moment for me...
That's where the appreciation for the small and the big world kicked in and it made me feel, ironically, quite small
Ok the 30 year comment really staggered me. I went from comprehending what is being said to hearing how long it would take to zoom out and instantly being hit by a wave of emotions that I can’t even describe in words. Absolutely mind blown 🤯
Almost thought you’d given up. I don’t have loyalty to the videos I watch but for your videos , they are different, and based on the time it takes for you to post, I’d think they are difficult to make or you get discouraged sometimes. Don’t man. You make amazing stuff, yours are the only videos I actually click on ( and then advertisements hell ) but worth it. Love your craft and delivery man. Keep em coming.
Thank you! I’m always working on them, don’t have any plans to stop, they just take a while but now that I’m full time they should be a bit faster.
@@EpicSpaceman If this video took you 4 months I am super amazed, especially that you did it yourself. Such a high quality, what do you use for 3D modeling if I may ask?
Thank you for all the videos! I'm beyond happy that I came across your channel, it's truly a bummer that UA-cam doesn't recommend such videos.
I must admit when you made the drone speed zoom out I thought it will play the rest of the video so like 6-7min... then you said it will take 30years and I flip my desk... you wasn't joking when you said "It's even crazier than that"
When you start at the atom keep going to quarks and into string theory... Great channel well done keep up the great work!👍⚛️
Will look at the quantum world in the future for sure, it’s a tricky one as it’s very hard to visualise
@@EpicSpaceman ooh man, please do but take your time. I am sure everyone will gladly wait! ✌️
@@EpicSpaceman That may be so, however, it is something that many non-artistic minds in the scientific community have tried to do, and some of their 'graphics' are not that bad.
The advent of remarkable cgi is with us in earnest now, and I am certain that a mind like yours already has already 'visualised' subatomic particles. I'd be fascinated to see your vision of The Standard Model.
This is amazing!! Especially knowing that you make these yourself! The information and quality is so impressive
This is a delightful and visually stunning video with much useful information about how to view scale! For many years, I've used scale examples to help folks understand how terribly wrong the usual portrayals of atoms are, focusing in particular on how in an atom the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a large grain of sand. The electrons shown moving around reflect an even greater reality distortion, with all testable versions of how electrons appear to an outside probe giving a result far more like the electron clouds of chemistry than the point-like particles physics prefers.
I will add one small suggestion: Beware of the danger of false endings. That's when the description seems to enter an ending phase that makes the viewer think the video is almost over when it is not. Viewers are willing to stay for longer videos but need clarification if they feel the video is about to end midway, such as when you reach the hydrogen atom. At that point, I recall becoming deeply puzzled at what would come next. A short bit of preface up front that explicitly names the parts of your video would help, e.g., the scaling journey, the speed journey, and infinity in your hand.
Thank you! This was thoughtfully written and much appreciated, good advice on the pacing and false ending too, I could have done a better job there when I wrote the script. I think originally actually I made it into different parts but somewhere along the line lost that.Your football stadium metaphor is remarkable because it’s almost exactly the same as one I’ve written a script for, I’ll definitely be exploring that world of empty atoms soon. Bill Bryson I think described it as flies in a Cathedral which blew me away. Thanks again for the kind words!
It’s a miracle getting to see this video for free, thanks.
This is an absolutely awesome video! Well done!
Thanks so much! Really pleased you enjoyed!
@EpicSpaceman @MentourPilot is a big deal!
I'm astounded at what your able to do and the way you seamlessly get complex information into a understandable form.
I tincker with video editing and I find that alone difficult.
I'm amazed that you created these beautiful worlds and fill them with Wonder.
Trully Outstanding.
Forget downsizing, he's taking micro-management to a whole new level!
😂
Microgement
This Video is AMAZING! What beauty and artistry, and I really appreciate putting size and scale into context, because it's truly difficult for us humans to comprehend
Thank you! It’s always fun trying to make it work in a way that makes sense to me, glad you felt that context worked
Man this channel is going to be incredibly popular. I am absolutely impressed with your work!
Yeah it's a shame he uploads every few months to a year
Another fantastic video, SPLENDID! It's great to see a sponsor onboard now. Here's hoping for many, many more to come (sponsors AND videos).
Fun fact, if you go the other way, zooming in at a linear speed? Let's give ourselves 10 seconds.
Let's say that it takes 9 seconds to zoom down to the size of a banana.
Then for the next second, you see a incomprehensible blur before you just see an atom.
It goes Human, banana, instant blur.
10 minutes? Sure. 9 minutes to zoom in on a banana, 54 seconds to get to the coin, and then incomprehensible blur.
😂
I was hoping he would set the speed to "level 5" so we could see both the blur and the slo-mo, but going to the extreme of a 30 year zoom out is certainly more dramatic😊
I would watch the ten hours though, but really paying attention to the last hour lol
New peak just dropped
Thank you!
This guy puts the sponsor at the end of the video because he knows we’ll watch the whole video
Fantastic video, sir. You’ve 100% succeeded your mission statement. And the animation has me FLOORED.
Another great video. Thank you.
Thanks so much, that’s very kind!
Another mindblowing and incredible well made video. Epic stuff
The animations were on point dude congrats !
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Every time I see a new video from this channel I immediately get excited and can’t wait to watch it! It’s so far beyond anything else I’ve seen.
My man!!! Another EPIC video from my favorite youtuber! Keep this up my friend! Gotta love the banana for reference, haha.
If I win the lottery, your bank account is getting a nice surprise.
How come I didn't know you before.. it's really depressing..you deserve millions of subscriber.. amazing educational videos
Instantly subbed. Plus your collaboration with Ground News was a cherry on top of the cake. I already love you.
