This was my thought exactly! You can almost see all the knowledge, passion, excitement, and Love of teaching as Forrest goes from one point to another. I thought I had a really good grasp on planetary formation, but was reminded of a fantastic quote by my A&P professor. "No matter how complex and detailed you think the information I'm teaching you is, remember: You can always go deeper/further."

As a nurse, you can answer some questions for me. Do trans folks have the same health expectations as the general population? Do trans folks have the same life expectancy as the GP? Do trans folks suffer from a large number of mental health issues such as depression and suicide at far greater levels than the GP? In other words, as a health professional, do you consider the trans person as being as healthy as the general population??

Asking "what came before the big bang" is like asking what is more north than the North Pole. At the North Pole, every direction is south. At the big bang, every direction is forwards in time
Poor analogy. Spacetime as we know it may not have existed, but the word "before" just means "what led up to". We don't know what led up to the big bang, but something certainly existed.
The 3+ hours was very intimidating since I have the attention span of a soggy potato, but goddamn, you kept my attention the entire time! I love seeing someone so passionate on the subject actually teaching it, and explaining it so well. I'm up for another! ❤
"When something is using up all the resources, and not putting it back, it's going to die in a really stupid way." Hahaha, damn. Wonder when we'll learn that.
I teared up at a few points in this video. It just made me feel so humbled by the billions of years of evolution that transpired for me and my loved ones to exist today. It's so true, we must take care of ourselves and each other, just like the stars that we are.
"fail to reject" was something my AP Bio teacher took an entire day to drill into us. It's super important, and something a lot of people don't understand.
@@isidoreaerys8745 The general concept that we do not *prove* hypotheses, we *fail to reject* them. I believe the specific experiment was on pillbug behaviour in wet and dry environments. The first day, she just went over hypotheses, and how we devise experimental questions and methods. How we construct good hypotheses, and how we test them. That our job in an experiment is to reject the hypothesis, not confirm it.
@@aaronclarke7732 Yes, I completely agree. As someone with an interest in linguistics, this is an issue often dealt with. This is a field, where the data is all available: our use of language, and our grammaticality judgements, but the way to put together a model that accounts for the data, and also provides insight into cognitive patterns, is an ongoing reinvention process (Chomsky and the minimalists are often regarded as dogmatists of a kind, but it's more complicated).
Have you seen the "History of the Entire World I Guess" video by Bill Wurtz? It would be a great choice for one of your reaction videos (and I trust your reactions would be positive, since it's good science presented in a maniacally funny way). Granted, only about the first five minutes is hard science (the rest is a chronology of world history), but it's so, so brilliantly done.
“humans are a weird side branch of fish! we’re all fuckin fish! everything’s a fish! except for bacteria, those aren’t fish.” love this! i’m pretty sure ive heard that clip before, even though i didn’t know who you were at the time. so delighted to put it in context!
I've only recently discovered your channel, via the Reacteria videos popping up in my suggestions, but I love it.

I'm almost 72 and love you. I've watched most of your videos and have learned a lot. You love what you teach and it is infectious, if your brain bends in the direction of science. Mine does. I was a science and math kid. I was accepted to college for chemistry, then was confronted with the fact that I would have to take three calc courses and a physics minor, so I said :"I'm out of here". I went over to art to take photography and taught it my whole life. Now I know a lot about art and art history, and taught most courses. I spent 7 years at the college level and about 25 in the public schools, which was a good move because I got a small pension out of it. In any case, I get that you are excited, but if I used the F word, and other words like shit, would have been told to go home and don't come back. I had to watch my tongue. Once in a while I would slip up and a kid would say, Mr. Martin, you just said Fuck! LOL.
@@iampfaff That is sad. Teachers should be role models. I have watched Elon Musk in videos. He uses four letter words from time to time. I think he should clean it up, but who's going to tell him or get him, to do it. When I was a kid, in the 50's, you almost never heard an F word or Jesus used. Almost everyone was religious and believed in hell. A lot more was socially unacceptable. Some of that was good. On the other hand there was a lot of bigotry against minorities and gays. Women had few to no career options and there were no women in sports, except figure skating, tennis, and some track events. They aspired to be airline stewardesses, teachers, or secretaries. My wife and other teenage girls would not ride bikes because it was not feminine. Only elementary girls rode bikes and boys usually quit by HS.
@@russmartin4189 in my personal opinion, swearing becoming more common is a good thing. words only hold meaning that you give them. giving people another way of expressing themselves with language is great. not to say that these words cannot be disrespectful when used in a malicious manner, however most young people don’t use them in such a way.
@@iampfaff A stregically placed curse word or profanity can have a very useful and strong effect. However, when they are used in almost every sentence, as a matter of course, it is obnoxious and irritating. I expect people who who write captions and ads for TV to use correct spelling and grammar. That is their job. I expect people in most jobs to speak without curse words. I don't expect clergy to take the name of the lord in vain, I don't expect teachers and professors to use "bad" language, except to make a rare point. Some people are role models and set the tone for society. Average people can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes, but in public, people should act in a civilized manner. That applies to clothing, washing, wearing the proper attire at restaurants, and more. I am a liberal/progressive, but I do not like it when I see society going backwards. Watch documentaries of the 50's or before. People used to dress well in public. I do not have an issue with most clothing today, but some is not appropriate. The people should know better. Just like they shouldn't act like pigs in restaurants.
@@russmartin4189 Some people like myself, and I suspect Forrest, tend to use expletives as a way to communicate how passionate or serious we are about a topic. It isn't because we mean the original definition of say 'fuck' or 'shit' its more like an order of magnitude or to indicate something other than 'stuff' or 'very'. If something is more than absolutely ridiculously amazing, it's 'fucking amazing'. Side note: I don't think Elon Musk should view viewed as someone worth learning from save for observing his behaviour and doing the opposite or basically an example of what not to do. He's done some rather questionable things and he mostly built his current fame on funding people. It's commendable to fund scientific research and projects, but I can not excuse his other actions.
I decided to watch this while having a bout of painsomnia (insomnia caused by a severe chronic pain flare). Not only is it fascinating and I’m learning and relearning details I missed or forgot in school and college, but Forest’s enthusiasm for the subject is contagious. I can’t wait to show segments of this to my science-loving 12-year-old.
People like this talking so passionately about their favourite subject is why I love learning. Even when I've heard it before, the way it's presented with such excitement and joy, makes it so easy to watch and absorb.
As someone who’s going to be a teacher, I am absolutely in awe of your techniques and I’m so impressed by you. You truly are a treasure for not just teaching the kids in your own classes but people all over the world. Thank you for being an inspiration
Damn, the first 40 minutes of this video have made me connect together so many pieces of information I knew about astrophysics and physics in general. I studied some chemistry and physics at college and I rode a few books on the topic (like A brief history of almost everything) but failed to understand some concepts before. The simple way you presented the expansion of the universe, how elements are formed and how gravity works in stars made perfect sense. To really understand things in science I always need to see the bigger picture first, to understand the whole process from beginning to end so I can place new information in groups and structure all of it. This video is exactly that, so thanks for it. I’ll definitely rewatch it.
Hey man, I'm a huge fan of yours. I grew up and was homeschooled in a strict Christian household. Needless to say I missed out on A LOT about evolution and I really have been yearning to dive in a lot deeper into the research, understanding, facts, linear sort of video/message. Do you have a video that's like evolution for beginners or like the linear story of evolution from what we know to now?
@@stevendefeo8424 Thanks! I'm 30 now and was always taught stuff like this video he's reacting to. Creation and evolution are enemies and evolution has to be fake for creation to be real. Never really got taught real science behind evolution but I want to badly now so thanks again!

@@nenmaster5218 do you believe that trust in science is decreasing? Because I'm more inclined to believe that we just notice how many people believe in nonsense because we have more access to people's opinions than ever before.

This TikTok live is the reason I joined your Patreon. The amount I learned in 3 and a half hours was truly amazing and I want to support this getting out to so many more people!
Slight corrections: Brontosaurus lived in the Jurassic not the Triassic. And crocodilians ARE archosaurs but branched out from the lineage that would become dinosaurs and pterosaurs. Love the content though and am hopeful to see more stuff like this.
When you pulled up the picture of our Earth that the voyager took and asked us to seriously take a look I started crying, so.. Mission accomplished. Love all your videos by the way. I hope you are able to find the time to keep them coming, the world needs more people like you.
Listening to a science lecture at two o’clock in the morning like a psycho because the helps soothe my insomnia 😌 Not because it’s boring, but rather that it’s just nice to listen to someone talk. Thanks Forrest!
I get funny looks when I tell people I'm ignorant with a smile. I simply mean that I am aware (and accept) that there are things I don't know. I strive to become just a little less ignorant every day. Thanks for helping with that goal.
As a kid whose only science after first grade was Answers in Genesis and curriculum put out by the fundie cult we joined, this is SO helpful! Thanks for putting this on UA-cam; it’s exactly what I was looking for since college has always been out of my price range.
I really wish my science teacher in high school had your passion. Most of what I've learned in science has come from several over due library fines and insomniac Google searches. Keep doing what you are doing. I love the videos
Forrest Valkai is my new favorite science UA-camr of all time. He is like the professor I've always dreamed of having. Almost every science/skeptic video I've seen on UA-cam has been edited in some way or another, sometimes after filming multiple takes, and even then they often have a bit of trouble retaining my attention and I get kinda bored. This man is such an amazing science teacher that despite the video being 100% uncut and unedited as far as I know, I watched the entire video all the way through, all 3 hours of it (though it did take multiple viewing sessions) and was fascinated virtually the whole way through. Also, despite watching so many science videos over the years, I learned a TON from this that I never knew and wished I had been taught it in school. This video perfectly demonstrates my belief that whether or not a student understands or is engaged with a class is not at all about what they're supposed to be learning, but how they're being taught.
Your passion and enthusiasm for science is off the rails! I’m appreciative of the content and learned a lot but all the energy you spent in these 3+ hours has exhausted me!!! Keep up the excellent work!
I fact checked it (I had a nagging suspicion Forrest was wrong), and the period after the Hadean was the Archean. Also I completely agree that the Zallinger diagram is a hideous misrepresentation of how evolution works.
It's not really a poor example to be fair. It's just excellent fodder for anyone that is willingly misrepresenting it. It's an excellent way of showing how small changes eventually accumulate to a large change from the original, which is exactly what evolution is.
@@geminirox8635 it’s ok I suppose, but the problem is that it puts a lot of ideas and assumptions in people’s heads that aren’t true, which is terrible, so most people don’t like it.
I absolutely love your energy while going through this! I love learning about all of these things, and your engery and excitement just made it so much better!
Really enjoyed this presentation, it answered a lot of my questions! I also love your presenting style. Thanks for standing there and talking for so long!
The best part of this video is the contrast between title and length. Sure, in the context of the universe, it is brief, but in the context of my afternoon, this is at least a couple movies.
You've quickly become my favorite science teacher. I've learned a tremendous amount from you and will continue to share your videos with others. I wish I could do more and will try to donate again as soon as possible. Never stop teaching! The world needs you. ♥

Just ran across your channel. This is beautiful. Thank you for calling people out on their shit and also educating people, you're doing a great service.
Thanks Forrest for this video! You have so much knowledge and are still able to communicate this information in such a way as to make it extremely understandable to people like myself that have a very limited science background. This is without doubt the most educational video I have ever seen in my 52 years on this planet. You make this material so fascinating! I’m so thankful for your videos.
This is amazing! I learned some of the points through high school and recognised some of that in the video. Seeing it combined with new information that I haven't yet learnt and stepping through the history of the universe is so cool! You find a great balance of explaining the topic, explaining how they were discovered and proven, their significance, and also explaining common misconceptions while also being really energetic and passionate - such a great video for literally anyone to watch, really makes me want to learn more!
Wow! Mind blowing. And these 3.5 hrs flew by and I wanted more. You’re a great guy who knows the art of teaching. Thank you so much for your amazing effort! 🙌🙌🙌
Because you discussed all life coming from a single ancestor, it would be interesting to see a short exploration of chirality and left hand vs right hand molecules and lifeforms. Love the excitement, keep doing what you are doing, and thank you.
The way I like to frame "before" the bing bang is to ask the person: "Have you ever written a short story in school? Before you started thinking about writing it, what was the plot?"
This was incredible video. I’ve always loved and been fascinated about evolution and cosmic evolution but I still learned ALOT from this and hope more people see this. I teared up at the end when you got to the “Blue Dot” reference. Keep up the amazing work and THANK YOU! ✌️
I had autoplay on when I fell asleep - didn't expect to wake up to Forrest yelling in my ear about how stupid a picture of dinosaurs is, because grass. I'll definitely have to come back to this when I'm more than just half conscious, this looks like a great time
You are the most talented analogy maker I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Every time you cohost on the Atheist Experience I am blown away with how eloquently you hook ideas together in a way that people can understand and you've done it again here. It's like you know how to verbalize the confusing jumble of ideas in my brain. You rock.
Glad the clock sound let you post this on UA-cam. I set a alarm while on vacation but the timing was way off. You are a legend in the making. Your enthusiasm is awesome, wish there were more “non-bias” teachers like you.
The fact that he's speaking so fast the amount of info thrown at me at once is amazing I love it this is probably my new favorite video, it makes me think, it satisfies adhd brain it makes the happy juices it's just good
A great overview. Exactly as advertised. I wish this material in this format had been available to be in my late teens, when I was struggling to put everything in context. Growing up evangelical, I was taught to tune out and resist all of the public school curriculum that was contrary to creationism. This made it difficult to piece everything together and form a coherent picture of natural history once I was ready to make that leap.
Every time I start to feel full of myself, I look at the Voyager pic and listen to Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" monologue and I feel better about everything.
Very interesting class! I love your enthusiasm and passion -- I really wish I'd had a biology teacher like you when I was a kid, rather than the old bored fart I ended up with, two years in a row. You really should re-do this as a proper UA-cam series of shorter and better edited/more organized videos - I'd watch'em all for sure!! Thanks for all the super science!
I have an anthropology degree and a neuroscience degree, neither of which are big parts of my career (I’m a healthcare attorney) and listening to this today sent me through so much nostalgia from years of learning this material. Thanks so much for taking the time to educate. Learned a few things too! Please keep it up.
Thanks for actually explaining something unlike my overly religious dad. This explains a lot more and makes more sense than my dad telling me since a kid “they think monkeys came from explosions”. Edit: do other planets have tectonic plates? Like would Mars get an earthquake or Pangea?
For a planet to have regular earthquakes, it would need to have something of a mantle, with its convection currents, and tectonic plates. I think there are some anomalies to that, but that’s the basics. If it doesn’t have that, you’re probably not going see any earthquakes or new landmasses forming
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. As an adult in his late 40's I regret not paying enough attention to biology and other science classes in school, but thanks to you and people like you we can learn the things we didn't when we were young. Thanks again. Amazing video.
This was absolutely amazing. Educational, inspiring, funny, I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing. Your lineage from stardust is undeniable because you were positively beaming through this entire thought provoking experience. A thousand tips of the hat to you friend🤗❤
Well done. I see you at the same level as Carl Sagan. I loved it. You have more charisma than Degrasse Tyson, and I love his stuff too. Pls clean it up, slow it down, better audio, better visuals, and you will have something real special. This world needs people like you more than ever. I don’t see anything wrong with what you are doing and I don’t want to criticize your presentation at all. I only wish for people to take you as seriously as you deserve. I only discovered your channel today and I am hooked. I seen more than 5 of your videos. Thank you for what you do.
Love watching him teach, he has this excited energy, like he loves to do it. It's very engaging and refreshing!!. Not for one second did I feel myself drifting off to sleep or go to daydreaming land like many lectures from other professors I've attended.
Astrophysicist here and I love the description at 16:57 . A popular joke among my colleagues is that scientists are horrible at naming things (just look at VLT & ELT). The term implies a sort of explosion, when in fact it is more like an expansion (think of inflating a balloon) . A very important part of the scientific community , that is often ignored , is the decomposition of complex systems to the general public. Work such as yours inspires future generations of scientists and encourages curiosity. Quite some good stuff here(A very comprehensive explanation of stellar evolution).
You can tell he's a teacher because every time he gets a question that he has an answer for he says "Thats a great question!" every time! And also he uses his own type of sign language.
One of my favour channels nowadays, you really make my day in addition to that it ur channel is REALLY informative and helps everyone understand this crazy planet we share so thank you!
Been binging his videos for the past two days and I have never been more excited for science! I’ve learned more than I ever have, and he explains it in such an understandable and accurate way. His passion for this is infectious. I’ve never like science before, I always thought I was too stupid to understand it, but now I’m on the edge of my seat for his next upload!
Too bad he’s totally wrong about there being “virtually no differences” and claiming there’s no such thing as races within humans, though. And it’s contradictory to claim there are racists but there’s no such thing as different human races.
@@caseyjc5There’s not really fixed boxed “races” so to say, much like there’s not really fixed boxed genders. There’s ethnicities and cultures, but like gender, race is a social construct. Just because something isn’t anything more a social construct though, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have real effects within the society that it is a construct of. Women, although that category is purely a social one, are for sure more negatively impacted in the majority of ways in our society than men are, however, the category of “woman” isn’t really a box that we can sort someone in definitively by a set criteria. There is effectively no real hard coded difference between a black man and a white man, between a Hispanic man and an East Asian man, between a Scandinavian woman and a Mediterranean woman. There’s a few very very small evolutionary variations such as skin tone and other things, but blood is blood, bone is bone, kidney is kidney. However, those very very small evolutionary variations, combined with cultural differences, can cause social issues to arise amongst people who make a very very big deal out of either those very very small physiological variations or those cultural differences. “Race” isn’t a fixed-box thing, similar to gender. It’s a social thing. Racism is a very real thing which comes from a false perception that very small variations in groups of people actually matter in a way that affects them. If I explained that poorly, know that I am not like a social studies major, I just have a lot of interest in certain social aspects that impact me and the people I’m close to.
I just wanted to thank you for this channel and for trying to educate and explain the history of everything, your efforts are not in vain trust me, I was once an ignorant religious type and labeled evolutionary science as an enemy of god but believe me you will reach some people who are open to reason, I was once that person and it took many years to deprogram from religious doctrine and I am SO thankful to such individuals as richard dawkins and thunderf00t and darkmatters channels even folks who debated creation scientist helped to shake me awake to scientific proofs, and I have been free ever since. I know it is frustrating when you explain away and it still reaches deaf ears, I sometimes try to explain my understanding on scientific findings to family and friends and am often ignored or told it was god or some nonsense, there are those that literally refuse to change their mind and be open to natural explanations as to how life evolved and such. Keep on what you are doing it will reach some people, I am a good example but then again I always loved science so I ahd that going for me xD
There is nothing like learning something from someone who is both knowledgeable and passionate about the topic they’re teaching. I wish I had a teacher like this when I was being taught science, I certainly would have paid attention way more. I loved all of this!
You remind me of my old biology teacher. His enthusiasm was also very infectious. Science and biology were always my favourite subjects. And now I love learning more and teaching my kid. They just started science in school and already love it. They also just started following you on tiktok. Keep it going! Love your content. Just found your channel a few weeks ago, so doing binge-watch of all the videos😊 love it all❤
This is awesome in so many ways! Don’t mind me but I’m going to timestamp my favorite part so I can easily share part of this video 2:22:35 made me laugh out loud really loudly
I could listen to you talk forever. The fact that we were taught some of this in school but I still learned SO many things in just these 3 and a half hours is insane. If they would just teach things like this with the whole big picture first so that we could then place details after it would be SO much easier and SO much more interesting. Also love love love your enthusiasm for science, it’s so contagious. You’re my new favourite UA-camr for sure.

This is a field, where the data is all available: our use of language, and our grammaticality judgements, but the way to put together a model that accounts for the data, and also provides insight into cognitive patterns, is an ongoing reinvention process (Chomsky and the minimalists are often regarded as dogmatists of a kind, but it's more complicated).
I can't tell you how much I want a "Roland the closet goblin" T-Shirt.
Have you seen the "History of the Entire World I Guess" video by Bill Wurtz? It would be a great choice for one of your reaction videos (and I trust your reactions would be positive, since it's good science presented in a maniacally funny way). Granted, only about the first five minutes is hard science (the rest is a chronology of world history), but it's so, so brilliantly done.
second that!

I'm almost 72 and love you. I've watched most of your videos and have learned a lot. You love what you teach and it is infectious, if your brain bends in the direction of science. Mine does. I was a science and math kid. I was accepted to college for chemistry, then was confronted with the fact that I would have to take three calc courses and a physics minor, so I said :"I'm out of here". I went over to art to take photography and taught it my whole life. Now I know a lot about art and art history, and taught most courses. I spent 7 years at the college level and about 25 in the public schools, which was a good move because I got a small pension out of it. In any case, I get that you are excited, but if I used the F word, and other words like shit, would have been told to go home and don't come back. I had to watch my tongue. Once in a while I would slip up and a kid would say, Mr. Martin, you just said Fuck! LOL.
times are changing. everyone at my college including the professors swear like sailors
@@iampfaff That is sad. Teachers should be role models. I have watched Elon Musk in videos. He uses four letter words from time to time. I think he should clean it up, but who's going to tell him or get him, to do it. When I was a kid, in the 50's, you almost never heard an F word or Jesus used. Almost everyone was religious and believed in hell. A lot more was socially unacceptable. Some of that was good. On the other hand there was a lot of bigotry against minorities and gays. Women had few to no career options and there were no women in sports, except figure skating, tennis, and some track events. They aspired to be airline stewardesses, teachers, or secretaries. My wife and other teenage girls would not ride bikes because it was not feminine. Only elementary girls rode bikes and boys usually quit by HS.
@@russmartin4189 in my personal opinion, swearing becoming more common is a good thing. words only hold meaning that you give them. giving people another way of expressing themselves with language is great. not to say that these words cannot be disrespectful when used in a malicious manner, however most young people don’t use them in such a way.
@@iampfaff A stregically placed curse word or profanity can have a very useful and strong effect. However, when they are used in almost every sentence, as a matter of course, it is obnoxious and irritating. I expect people who who write captions and ads for TV to use correct spelling and grammar. That is their job. I expect people in most jobs to speak without curse words. I don't expect clergy to take the name of the lord in vain, I don't expect teachers and professors to use "bad" language, except to make a rare point. Some people are role models and set the tone for society. Average people can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes, but in public, people should act in a civilized manner. That applies to clothing, washing, wearing the proper attire at restaurants, and more. I am a liberal/progressive, but I do not like it when I see society going backwards. Watch documentaries of the 50's or before. People used to dress well in public. I do not have an issue with most clothing today, but some is not appropriate. The people should know better. Just like they shouldn't act like pigs in restaurants.
@@russmartin4189 Some people like myself, and I suspect Forrest, tend to use expletives as a way to communicate how passionate or serious we are about a topic. It isn't because we mean the original definition of say 'fuck' or 'shit' its more like an order of magnitude or to indicate something other than 'stuff' or 'very'. If something is more than absolutely ridiculously amazing, it's 'fucking amazing'.
Side note: I don't think Elon Musk should view viewed as someone worth learning from save for observing his behaviour and doing the opposite or basically an example of what not to do. He's done some rather questionable things and he mostly built his current fame on funding people. It's commendable to fund scientific research and projects, but I can not excuse his other actions.
I decided to watch this while having a bout of painsomnia (insomnia caused by a severe chronic pain flare).
Not only is it fascinating and I’m learning and relearning details I missed or forgot in school and college, but Forest’s enthusiasm for the subject is contagious.
I can’t wait to show segments of this to my science-loving 12-year-old.
You get further in and he gets more and more tired, but his enthusiasm just grows. Thats why Forrest Valkai is amazing. :33
People like this talking so passionately about their favourite subject is why I love learning. Even when I've heard it before, the way it's presented with such excitement and joy, makes it so easy to watch and absorb.
As someone who’s going to be a teacher, I am absolutely in awe of your techniques and I’m so impressed by you. You truly are a treasure for not just teaching the kids in your own classes but people all over the world. Thank you for being an inspiration
Damn, the first 40 minutes of this video have made me connect together so many pieces of information I knew about astrophysics and physics in general. I studied some chemistry and physics at college and I rode a few books on the topic (like A brief history of almost everything) but failed to understand some concepts before. The simple way you presented the expansion of the universe, how elements are formed and how gravity works in stars made perfect sense. To really understand things in science I always need to see the bigger picture first, to understand the whole process from beginning to end so I can place new information in groups and structure all of it. This video is exactly that, so thanks for it. I’ll definitely rewatch it.
Hey man, I'm a huge fan of yours. I grew up and was homeschooled in a strict Christian household. Needless to say I missed out on A LOT about evolution and I really have been yearning to dive in a lot deeper into the research, understanding, facts, linear sort of video/message. Do you have a video that's like evolution for beginners or like the linear story of evolution from what we know to now?
Find Aaron Ra’s channel and you will learn more there than here. Your welcome
@@stevendefeo8424 Thanks! I'm 30 now and was always taught stuff like this video he's reacting to. Creation and evolution are enemies and evolution has to be fake for creation to be real. Never really got taught real science behind evolution but I want to badly now so thanks again!

Listening to a science lecture at two o’clock in the morning like a psycho because the helps soothe my insomnia 😌
Not because it’s boring, but rather that it’s just nice to listen to someone talk. Thanks Forrest!
I started listening at 4:30am so I could keep my mind busy while working.
I get funny looks when I tell people I'm ignorant with a smile. I simply mean that I am aware (and accept) that there are things I don't know. I strive to become just a little less ignorant every day. Thanks for helping with that goal.
There's professors who can put students to sleep and then there's this man.
Forrest, thanks for making me fall in love with biology all over again. ❤
Well, I did fall asleep on this.
As a kid whose only science after first grade was Answers in Genesis and curriculum put out by the fundie cult we joined, this is SO helpful! Thanks for putting this on UA-cam; it’s exactly what I was looking for since college has always been out of my price range.
Why is this so much easier to understand than it was in school?
Because he’s interesting
I really wish my science teacher in high school had your passion. Most of what I've learned in science has come from several over due library fines and insomniac Google searches.
Keep doing what you are doing. I love the videos
Forrest Valkai is my new favorite science UA-camr of all time. He is like the professor I've always dreamed of having.
Almost every science/skeptic video I've seen on UA-cam has been edited in some way or another, sometimes after filming multiple takes, and even then they often have a bit of trouble retaining my attention and I get kinda bored. This man is such an amazing science teacher that despite the video being 100% uncut and unedited as far as I know, I watched the entire video all the way through, all 3 hours of it (though it did take multiple viewing sessions) and was fascinated virtually the whole way through. Also, despite watching so many science videos over the years, I learned a TON from this that I never knew and wished I had been taught it in school. This video perfectly demonstrates my belief that whether or not a student understands or is engaged with a class is not at all about what they're supposed to be learning, but how they're being taught.
The sun has layers, onions have layers, ogres have layers, Shrek really is a star
Hehe. All-star
I hope he posts more live streams like this! I loved watching this
2:43:55 “We’re all fucking fish! Everything’s a fucking fish. Except bacteria, those aren’t fish.”
Your passion and enthusiasm for science is off the rails! I’m appreciative of the content and learned a lot but all the energy you spent in these 3+ hours has exhausted me!!! Keep up the excellent work!
I fact checked it (I had a nagging suspicion Forrest was wrong), and the period after the Hadean was the Archean. Also I completely agree that the Zallinger diagram is a hideous misrepresentation of how evolution works.
It's not really a poor example to be fair. It's just excellent fodder for anyone that is willingly misrepresenting it. It's an excellent way of showing how small changes eventually accumulate to a large change from the original, which is exactly what evolution is.
@@geminirox8635 it’s ok I suppose, but the problem is that it puts a lot of ideas and assumptions in people’s heads that aren’t true, which is terrible, so most people don’t like it.

I've watched every second of this. Not disappointed. Do more videos. This why I love science. Thanks
Really enjoyed this presentation, it answered a lot of my questions! I also love your presenting style. Thanks for standing there and talking for so long!
The best part of this video is the contrast between title and length. Sure, in the context of the universe, it is brief, but in the context of my afternoon, this is at least a couple movies.
You've quickly become my favorite science teacher. I've learned a tremendous amount from you and will continue to share your videos with others. I wish I could do more and will try to donate again as soon as possible. Never stop teaching! The world needs you. ♥

Just ran across your channel. This is beautiful. Thank you for calling people out on their shit and also educating people, you're doing a great service.
Thanks Forrest for this video! You have so much knowledge and are still able to communicate this information in such a way as to make it extremely understandable to people like myself that have a very limited science background. This is without doubt the most educational video I have ever seen in my 52 years on this planet. You make this material so fascinating! I’m so thankful for your videos.
This was amazing. Can't express how much I appreciated this whole thing.
Love this. Thanks for taking the time to make this. We need another Carl Sagan!!
This is amazing! I learned some of the points through high school and recognised some of that in the video. Seeing it combined with new information that I haven't yet learnt and stepping through the history of the universe is so cool!
You find a great balance of explaining the topic, explaining how they were discovered and proven, their significance, and also explaining common misconceptions while also being really energetic and passionate - such a great video for literally anyone to watch, really makes me want to learn more!
Wow! Mind blowing. And these 3.5 hrs flew by and I wanted more.
You’re a great guy who knows the art of teaching.
Thank you so much for your amazing effort! 🙌🙌🙌
Because you discussed all life coming from a single ancestor, it would be interesting to see a short exploration of chirality and left hand vs right hand molecules and lifeforms. Love the excitement, keep doing what you are doing, and thank you.
The way I like to frame "before" the bing bang is to ask the person:
"Have you ever written a short story in school? Before you started thinking about writing it, what was the plot?"
This was incredible video. I’ve always loved and been fascinated about evolution and cosmic evolution but I still learned ALOT from this and hope more people see this. I teared up at the end when you got to the “Blue Dot” reference. Keep up the amazing work and THANK YOU! ✌️
I had autoplay on when I fell asleep - didn't expect to wake up to Forrest yelling in my ear about how stupid a picture of dinosaurs is, because grass. I'll definitely have to come back to this when I'm more than just half conscious, this looks like a great time
You are the most talented analogy maker I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Every time you cohost on the Atheist Experience I am blown away with how eloquently you hook ideas together in a way that people can understand and you've done it again here. It's like you know how to verbalize the confusing jumble of ideas in my brain. You rock.
This was very entertaining and educational. Took me back to being in school and reminded me how much I loved learning.
I know I'm late. I am in awe of this! The amount covered and how you make it so accessible is amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Glad the clock sound let you post this on UA-cam. I set a alarm while on vacation but the timing was way off. You are a legend in the making. Your enthusiasm is awesome, wish there were more “non-bias” teachers like you.
The fact that he's speaking so fast the amount of info thrown at me at once is amazing I love it this is probably my new favorite video, it makes me think, it satisfies adhd brain it makes the happy juices it's just good
A great overview. Exactly as advertised. I wish this material in this format had been available to be in my late teens, when I was struggling to put everything in context. Growing up evangelical, I was taught to tune out and resist all of the public school curriculum that was contrary to creationism. This made it difficult to piece everything together and form a coherent picture of natural history once I was ready to make that leap.
Every time I start to feel full of myself, I look at the Voyager pic and listen to Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" monologue and I feel better about everything.
I’ve watched this video 4 times and learn more every time, this guy is the best
Rather than calling it "The big bang" I prefer calling it "The great expansion". It sounds cool, and it's more accurate! I like it.
Very interesting class! I love your enthusiasm and passion -- I really wish I'd had a biology teacher like you when I was a kid, rather than the old bored fart I ended up with, two years in a row. You really should re-do this as a proper UA-cam series of shorter and better edited/more organized videos - I'd watch'em all for sure!! Thanks for all the super science!
The more I learn about physics and astronomy the more I realize 14 billion years isn't really a long time.
I have an anthropology degree and a neuroscience degree, neither of which are big parts of my career (I’m a healthcare attorney) and listening to this today sent me through so much nostalgia from years of learning this material. Thanks so much for taking the time to educate. Learned a few things too! Please keep it up.
Thanks for actually explaining something unlike my overly religious dad. This explains a lot more and makes more sense than my dad telling me since a kid “they think monkeys came from explosions”.
Edit: do other planets have tectonic plates? Like would Mars get an earthquake or Pangea?
Some do, mars specifically hasn't got any
@@lilyeves892 thanks!! That’s so cool to think about. Idk why.
wait ive never thought about this. and what is a "earthquake" on a different planet
@@TheMento a sudden shift in tectonic plates
For a planet to have regular earthquakes, it would need to have something of a mantle, with its convection currents, and tectonic plates. I think there are some anomalies to that, but that’s the basics. If it doesn’t have that, you’re probably not going see any earthquakes or new landmasses forming
I can't believe this is free
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. As an adult in his late 40's I regret not paying enough attention to biology and other science classes in school, but thanks to you and people like you we can learn the things we didn't when we were young. Thanks again. Amazing video.
This was absolutely amazing. Educational, inspiring, funny, I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing. Your lineage from stardust is undeniable because you were positively beaming through this entire thought provoking experience. A thousand tips of the hat to you friend🤗❤
I think scientists made the right call when they called it star dust instead of star poop
Agree to disagree
Well done.
I see you at the same level as Carl Sagan.
I loved it. You have more charisma than Degrasse Tyson, and I love his stuff too.
Pls clean it up, slow it down, better audio, better visuals, and you will have something real special.
This world needs people like you more than ever.
I don’t see anything wrong with what you are doing and I don’t want to criticize your presentation at all. I only wish for people to take you as seriously as you deserve.
I only discovered your channel today and I am hooked. I seen more than 5 of your videos.
Thank you for what you do.
This is just phenomenal. Everyone should watch! I will probably be joining the patreon because I want to more these! Just great 👍
Love watching him teach, he has this excited energy, like he loves to do it. It's very engaging and refreshing!!. Not for one second did I feel myself drifting off to sleep or go to daydreaming land like many lectures from other professors I've attended.
This is amazing.
Could you do livestreams here on youtube? I don't have ticktok. I enjoyed watching this reposting, but would also like to watch you live some time.
Astrophysicist here and I love the description at 16:57 . A popular joke among my colleagues is that scientists are horrible at naming things (just look at VLT & ELT). The term implies a sort of explosion, when in fact it is more like an expansion (think of inflating a balloon) . A very important part of the scientific community , that is often ignored , is the decomposition of complex systems to the general public. Work such as yours inspires future generations of scientists and encourages curiosity. Quite some good stuff here(A very comprehensive explanation of stellar evolution).
Your 'presence' is amazingly good, and you have the knowledge to back it all up. Brilliant!
You can tell he's a teacher because every time he gets a question that he has an answer for he says "Thats a great question!" every time!
And also he uses his own type of sign language.
I dub thee the Bob Ross of Biology
One of my favour channels nowadays, you really make my day in addition to that it ur channel is REALLY informative and helps everyone understand this crazy planet we share so thank you!
Been binging his videos for the past two days and I have never been more excited for science! I’ve learned more than I ever have, and he explains it in such an understandable and accurate way. His passion for this is infectious. I’ve never like science before, I always thought I was too stupid to understand it, but now I’m on the edge of my seat for his next upload!
I'm sorry I missed this live. You covered the history of everything and still took the time to yell at racists. This may be love.
Too bad he’s totally wrong about there being “virtually no differences” and claiming there’s no such thing as races within humans, though. And it’s contradictory to claim there are racists but there’s no such thing as different human races.
@@caseyjc5There’s not really fixed boxed “races” so to say, much like there’s not really fixed boxed genders. There’s ethnicities and cultures, but like gender, race is a social construct. Just because something isn’t anything more a social construct though, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have real effects within the society that it is a construct of. Women, although that category is purely a social one, are for sure more negatively impacted in the majority of ways in our society than men are, however, the category of “woman” isn’t really a box that we can sort someone in definitively by a set criteria. There is effectively no real hard coded difference between a black man and a white man, between a Hispanic man and an East Asian man, between a Scandinavian woman and a Mediterranean woman. There’s a few very very small evolutionary variations such as skin tone and other things, but blood is blood, bone is bone, kidney is kidney. However, those very very small evolutionary variations, combined with cultural differences, can cause social issues to arise amongst people who make a very very big deal out of either those very very small physiological variations or those cultural differences. “Race” isn’t a fixed-box thing, similar to gender. It’s a social thing. Racism is a very real thing which comes from a false perception that very small variations in groups of people actually matter in a way that affects them.
If I explained that poorly, know that I am not like a social studies major, I just have a lot of interest in certain social aspects that impact me and the people I’m close to.
I just wanted to thank you for this channel and for trying to educate and explain the history of everything, your efforts are not in vain trust me, I was once an ignorant religious type and labeled evolutionary science as an enemy of god but believe me you will reach some people who are open to reason, I was once that person and it took many years to deprogram from religious doctrine and I am SO thankful to such individuals as richard dawkins and thunderf00t and darkmatters channels even folks who debated creation scientist helped to shake me awake to scientific proofs, and I have been free ever since. I know it is frustrating when you explain away and it still reaches deaf ears, I sometimes try to explain my understanding on scientific findings to family and friends and am often ignored or told it was god or some nonsense, there are those that literally refuse to change their mind and be open to natural explanations as to how life evolved and such. Keep on what you are doing it will reach some people, I am a good example but then again I always loved science so I ahd that going for me xD
It feels good knowing all this stuff is not falling on deaf ears so thank you for sharing your experience with it
There is nothing like learning something from someone who is both knowledgeable and passionate about the topic they’re teaching.
I wish I had a teacher like this when I was being taught science, I certainly would have paid attention way more.
I loved all of this!
You remind me of my old biology teacher. His enthusiasm was also very infectious. Science and biology were always my favourite subjects. And now I love learning more and teaching my kid. They just started science in school and already love it. They also just started following you on tiktok. Keep it going! Love your content. Just found your channel a few weeks ago, so doing binge-watch of all the videos😊 love it all❤
I love his potty mouth. He's so manic when he gets excited! But I had (almost) no trouble following him.
This is awesome in so many ways! Don’t mind me but I’m going to timestamp my favorite part so I can easily share part of this video 2:22:35 made me laugh out loud really loudly
This is my favorite. I’ve found it. My favorite video. Thank you
I can’t express how much I love this video and how much I’ve learned from watching

This was **definitely** the correct choice to watch whilst cooking Thanksgiving dinner. 😁 Anyone not yet to the mRNA/DNA/LUCA portion...strap in!! 😂👍🏼
THANK YOU 🙏 I have no words to express how much you have given me today. This helps me explain this world to others. And myself!
I could listen to you talk forever. The fact that we were taught some of this in school but I still learned SO many things in just these 3 and a half hours is insane. If they would just teach things like this with the whole big picture first so that we could then place details after it would be SO much easier and SO much more interesting. Also love love love your enthusiasm for science, it’s so contagious. You’re my new favourite UA-camr for sure.
