Michael: “Time is an Illusion”
Underrated
that made me laugh lol
soooooo acccurate
lol
HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH PLSSSSSSSSSSSSS I CANT THIS MADE ME WHEEZE-
This is the Pinnacle of VSauce. Rewatch was even better. Michael, are you a philosopher poet? The team around you must also be amazing. Massive contributions to our time through your brilliant videos over the years. Wishing you the very best!
I'm also rewatching his older stuff since he hasn't uploaded in almost a year...
He recently said he does it all alone on an Anthony Padilla podcast
@@tyvekhomewrap9164I just saw my comment from 3 years ago saying it's nice of him to make another video 😅 forgot all about it
Or is he? 😂
14:52
I heard this story somewhere on the internet of a young person, who I think worked at some kind of retirement home, who was talking to a very elderly woman.
The old woman asked the poster something like “do adults tell you about time before the internet, and how it’s dangerous? And how they didn’t have it back in their day?”
The original poster, of course, responded yes.
The old lady then responded with “that’s what my parents told me about electricity.”
That may be my favourite example of these “illusions of time”. Me, writing this message on a computer that can fit in my pocket, could talk to someone who didn’t even have lightbulbs as a child.
To be fair, electricity universally expanded productivity. Most of our population is spending more than half of their free time hopelessly addicted to a dopamine button.
People are still playing cause and effect on why society's overall intelligence is declining but... clearly occupying half our mental energy with Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and UA-cam (a process that puts people in a dopamine deficit for the rest of the day which is directly tied to depleted motivation) is going to impact participation in challenging activities.
"Electricity is the Devil" and "I am physically incapable of stopping myself from picking up my phone to check for notifications every 90 seconds"...
Very neat anecdote. I hate to be *that person*, but technically you could talk to the daughter of someone who didn't have a light bulb as a child
This is an amazing comment and story. I find a lot of comfort when I fear the unknown future from just looking at my parents or grandparents. They’ve already seen so much change. Some people were alive to see both horse drawn carriages on the streets of New York City and the moon landing on TV. My grandfather was born before the Titanic sank, and Queen Elizabeth was born before industrially sliced bread was sold. I can speak to people who saw Elvis or Louis Armstrong, or who remember the Cold War fear or the Great Depression. It’s amazing who is connected to who in this way!
@@RobinFlysHigh I am guessing the woman in this story didn't have them in her home for at least part of her childhood, even if they had been invented by then. Maybe she lived far from an electrified city, or their family couldn't afford the service, or, as the post seems to say, her parents were suspicious of electricity and didn't want it in their house.
People in the far past thought that books would destroy your mind

Never felt like this before in my whole life… i might need to take a walk to process all the things i've learned in this past 30 minutes. To have such videos online and for free is unbelieveable. Thank you for this mastepiece! For sure coming back to rewatch in some Time :)
That picture of the man smiling with the bowl of rice is now one of my favorite pictures ever. Idk why it brings me so much joy
Same, I discovered that picture on Reddit years ago and whenever I stumble upon it during my surfing of the web; I'm reminded that no matter the period of human history, humans would inevitably find some sort of joy in their lives where they can't help but smile and laugh. Joy and laughter are some of the most human emotions as it separates our lives from being bleak, meaningless and overall apathetic to instead hopeful and longing for the next smile/laugh.
Michael is ridiculously gifted at presenting and explaining. He's an educational treasure.
I find it hard going myself despite his knack of communicating ideas simply but I'd like to try and come to grips with this kind of thinking. It takes time for the new concepts to sink in and become familiar
Not to mention his showmanship and artistic creativity.
And how can he learn so much in so little time
I like to think of michael as a modern day carl sagan, alan watts, bob ross.
no he is not

I've always been fascinated by the connection between our sense of smell and the triggering of memories.
After my mother died ,I bought one of her favorite colognes just so smelling it would make me feel like she was there with me
I've found that smell can give really really vivid memories, like walking past someone and being able to smell that they wear the same perfume as a girl you used to go out with years ago, or smelling a clinical, hospital smell years after a grandparent or family member was in hospital, it puts you right back in that moment, and you smell it and instantly go "that's the smell from this place and this time"
You should read In Search of Lost Time.
"Make some time for time to control you.
Be bored, miss out, fall behind, lost track of time.
While experiencing only what your body can alone.
You might not have the time of your life, but you'll have more time of your life."
this one really hit me
"It's okay, shaved Michael doesn't exist, he can't hurt you."

this is so fucking funny
On point
lmfaoooo
I can see this 100% omg
I love this
I just realized, in the time travel segment of the video, if people in the past viewed their present as a continuation of their past, then that explains why they had a tendency to scrap things that we today would've tried to desperately preserve in a museum, so many old locomotives, tanks, and cars were never preserved other than by photograph, and I always wondered why that was, but now that I understand their worldview on the present, it makes sense now that actively preserving the past is as recent of a trend as it. thank you Michael, you open my eyes to so many things I had only wondered about in passing
I grew up in the 2000s and i lost my father a long time ago, and as a person in their 20s, i still feel like he's there with me whenever i see photos of him.
Michael is a master of bringing you to the brink of existential crisis, and then pulling you back just far enough so that you've gained wisdom
Your name is wisdom, mr “son”
This is why I watch the entire video.
Holy hell, this _short short_ thing being described so accurately is *scary*
the short short is watching youtube with entertainment purposes and scrolling through Instagram.... man it makes time fly by but still we dont remember much
We can't seem to avoid the x short thing. Either it's long short or short short. We've just made it more comfortable to be bored.
@@tonysoprano4883 You can avoid long short or short short by learning to be stimulated more easily. Lower the amount of dopamine inducing stuff you do and try to extract interesting observations out of normally uninteresting seeming situations. That way you will not only be more observant and overal more excited, but you will also feel like you are doing something with your time.
I agree
this is kinda scary
Times flies when you’re having fun.
One of many illusions of time is that I could've sworn this video came out only 2 years ago
Your beard growing skills are unmatched
Ah good ol' Dolan Dark :)
how do you feel about the fact that the memes you make now, will someday be an "old people" thing, a day and age where "memes" will be associated to the people of the past, and your content will be used to study these "memes" in "schools"? Imagine some future kid saying, "Jeez i hate dolan dark's memes, they ask so hard questions on it and i can't relate to any of them". Chilling.

Lmao bruh:)
Everybody gangsta ‘til Michael invents his own scientific terms
xD loved this one
haha
At this point, I think he deserves it
16:56
yes.
Speaking of time, I'm new to this channel, and I'm disturbed by how much time has passed without my knowing such a brilliant youtuber exists.
You‘re in for a treat friend
When I first tried VRChat I felt a strange sensation. Unlike the Internet VR gives presence: the feeling being in some space, a virtual space. And when you realise you share the space with people that live in actual reality far far far away from you, like thousand miles, it blows your mind. At least it does to mine. It's like finally experience what singularity does really mean, when a distance does not matter. But the time is not yet broken.
Michael shaving his beard for the sake of making a 2 seconds point in the video- definition of determination
Ohh that’s why he takes his time making the videos lol
I wish I had a woman that didn't want me to shave mine, so I could shave it and see what happens.
Maybe he just wanted to shave his beard.
Yh
he shaved it as a goal if a certain number of people registered to vote for the elections back in nov
And when the world needed him most, he came back....
Copied comment.
He was never gone.
Just in time

Thats exactly what was going through my mind also, god damn we need vsauce now more than ever.
I remember seeing a quote that went something like this:
"Everything that was invented before you were born is a perfectly normal stuff, everything that was invented when you were a teenager is a fun, new thing and everything that was invented after you're 30 is a madness that disturbs the natural order of the world."
Protagonist syndrome is real. I remember asking my mom when I was seven or eight, "There's got to be only one *me* in the world, right?" referring to myself. Because I could only feel my own emotions and experiences and no one else's, I couldn't quite grasp at the time that other people also had subjective experiences.
I had the same feeling. Sometimes I get that feeling now.
I missed you Michael
Hmm..sounds like pizza to me.
I love you Michael
Mike Obama...?
SMELLS LIKE POWER

My worst nightmare would be me standing in a dark place when suddenly I hear "Hey Vsauce, Michael Here...How fast can you run?"
Reminds me of a joke I made once where I ran at my friend and shouted “Hey, Vsauce, Michael here... how quick can I kill you?”
I would listen to him explaining how fast i can run..
Or can you

I stumbled upon this video during a time in my life in which I feel like my life is passing right before me. The past 10 years feel so long ago but the size of it feels so little, this feeling of impending doom keeps coming back every night, my life is passing.. Realizations that I will never be a child or a teenager again, hell I'll never be in my 20's and soon I'll never be young again. Its all so weird and scary. Thank you for this video, it didnt quite ease my time paranoia but at least I've found some comfort that what I'm experiencing is.. real. The very nature of life, things choices situations discussions experiences, everything.
There's a 2014-born girl who I know personally. She entered the world a few short months after "Frozen" hit theaters. Even now, at age 18, I find it strange that I watched Frozen in theaters when I was a kid. In other words, I saw it in theaters when I was exactly her age.
This gives a whole new perspective to “living in the moment”
-
Yo Same
Meh... Not really... I have always thought of time as the clock only to see which hour and minute I am on the day. After that, just let things happen and see where you end up. It is the most basic meaning to "live in the moment" and doesn't need to be more complicated than that. :) We all know that the "concept of time" is merely an illusion, it is a man-made thing. But do you think that wild animals, and the people who lived before this concept was concieved thought about it? No - they trusted their instincts and adapted, there's really no need to lose your brains over it.
IM SPEECHLESS

Teenagers now could feasibly sit in their room wearing heelies, listening to early Linkin Park music on an iPod Shuffle while they text friends from a refurbished flip phone, saying they feel like they were born in the wrong decade, and that concept genuinely scares me, since I did the same with spiked hair, Daft Punk on a walkman, and a landline phone, wishing I was born in the 1980's.

This type of "good old days" Vsauce is exactly what I needed right now.
I feel that
Hearing that the people of the past, viewed the past as passed and not a thing seems like a better way to live
Part of the reason songs from the 90s don’t seem as old to us is because by the 90s recordings became so clear and well balanced they don’t sound (like they were recorded) much different than those of today. The recordings in the 60s sounded sounded very different from those in the 90s because the technology was so primitive.
He said that in the video too, through the examples of sephia and pixelated videos.
The whole short long and long short goes along with how quarantine feels. every day of quarantine felt long because nothing was happening but all of 2020 seemed to be like a month
yeah
Yea because Quarantine days is just so similar and repetitive
Weird for me it's the opposite, every day goes by very fast because I built a precise routine and yet to think that 12 months ago there was no covid, people could gather without masks and taking a fries from your friends didn't feel dangerous. It feels like ages ago
S o true
I wonder how that man would feel to know how significant his silly picture would be to some people hundreds of years later.
Insane how Micheal has been on the scene for ages and yet he is the one that does not change and pretty much nobody cares. Videos nowadays are flashy and fast, but Micheal is just same. Pure talent.

Unbelievable. So much information, so well conveyed, and with so much passion. Vsauce, Michael, a real treasure for humanity!
The image of Michael shaved is so unnerving.
I am in a room. It is dark. I am tied to a chair and my hands are bound with rope. A small light flickers above me. I am hungry. When was the last time I ate? The small doorknob in the corner begins to twist. A door opens; my eyes flick up to meet him. It is none other than Michael Stevens, the host and owner Vsauce. I fill up with questions? Words clog my throat, thickening like honey, and as they smooth out and start to pour the words none can even come past my lips- Michael cuts me off. “I’ll be the one asking the questions.”
He goes out of view, “where did he go?”, I wonder. There was a flash in front of me, revealing his face once more. He greeted me. “Hey Vsauce Michael here” my eyes wander and I become Starstruck, for right in front of me was Michael Stevens shirtless.
He caressed my neckbeard slowly, he started rambling on. “Where are your fingers?” Sharpening his knife in a good ol’ pencil sharpener. He walks over to me, takes one look and says. “This is easier shirtless because dry cleaners ask questions about stains.” He starts tearing into my left thumb. Slowly chopping down, onto each finger. I was sweating so much that the aroma last nights Taco Bell was starting to fill the room. Unphased he says “Ya toes, hand ‘em over.”
I stare into his eyes as he stares into mine. My eyes are filled with pleas for help, and his: lust. A lust which could not be satisfied by normal means. He demanded my toes again, but that were not satisfactory, for he wanted more.
I had to get out, but I wanted to know more. My lust for knowledge grows ever greater with each passing second. Why was he doing this? Or rather why to me? I felt so helpless. I felt like I had been left alone in a sea or words, none of which I understand. Perhaps I had gotten lucky, being his choice, being chosen. I don’t know, maybe I’m just the crazy one.
I stared where my toes once were. I guess he took them, my toes. I had handed them over, what else could he want? “I will now ask the question, What makes us ask questions?” He knew my question, for he had known it from the start.

Watching your videos brings me this feeling of visiting the past
I used to watch translated videos of Vesaus before I was fluent in English when I was very young. the videos were editedly subtitled long before when UA-cam didn't have captions or like and dislike, rather a 5 star rating systems.
I have recently started re watching all your content and felt like 12 years old again. Very interesting to see you again keep going I love your content you had a great impact on my personality I wish this comment makes it to you
Wow the audio in this one was stunning
I'd love to see Michael make a museum, filled with objects both new and old, exiting stories, interesting facts, strange mental experiments and fascinating experiences. I'd especially love to have a room dedicated to these kinds of presentation, quick short bursts of content renewed monthly. Imagine getting completely immersed in one of these videos, in a dark room complete with high quality speakers, colored spotlights and a giant screen. That'd be an amazing experience for sure.
Michael, please, at some point you gotta
Theory: Michael shaves his beard right after he makes a video, and waits until it grows back to post another video.
Makes sense!
I buy it
Believable
He may have saved, and grown it back for each clip of this video.
All he has to do is flex his brain and he grows a new beard.
Ironically, this video itself is a great example of illusion of time.
For an example,
30 minutes of studying boring subject feels like an eternity.
30 minutes of Michael explaining feels like a brief moment.

In my 60s, I not only feel as though time flies by, but I see the distant past and the future in a similar way. Now, a few hundred years, or even 1,000 years, does not seem that far away to me.
I think I feel this way but not to this extent. I'm in my late 20s and back in my childhood I though that nothing existed before the year 1900. Well, I kinda new it actually did but I didn't take it seriously. Now I fully undestand and feel that history didn't start in 1900 but your comment made me recall this feeling from the past. Thank you

Not this 'time but the other times, like last time we made time to take time to put time in and get more time to do your time timelessly in a timely manner.
I'm blown away by this guy's thinking skills.
My sense of time is so fundamentally broken that this feels like a geometry lesson. Powerful hallucinogens can give you the impression of millennia in sequence, watching civilisations rise and fall. It's hard to keep track of what day or time it is - hard to remember ages, because I see people as a temporal spectrum constantly being re-expressed through a singular point, on a path that looks linear from the perspective of its own movement but is constantly forking out into various possibilities then collapsing into physical realities from an external view - more akin to a crystalline matrix than a straight line.
This doesn't mean that because there are infinite possibilities that there is a timeline in which you live forever - infinite numbers between 0 and 1 does not allow for a 2. As you age, the number of possibilities first increases and then decreases, until all timelines end with your perceptive existence of them (i.e. you die and your body ceases to act as a function of measurement to create time as a comparison of physical states between iterations of possibility [quantum state] and reality [how the quantum state collapses into a particular physical state])
“You might not have the time of your life, but you’ll have more time... of your life.”
I love this.
We can't earn back wasted time but we can prevent time wasted
I literally scroll down the comments right as this comment became the subtitle of what Michael said.
@@warspyking yet we all continue to waste time consciously of this... ah, humans...
Eckhart Tolle’s ‘The Power of Now’ says exactly this. It’s as easy as listening to the silence. Life transforms this way.

This explains why the first month of lockdown felt like it lasted 3 years but the subsequent 3 years lasted two weeks.
Basically, March 2020 had active election drama, civil unrest at every turn, the beginnings of an economic downturn, _and_ no one had ever seen a global pandemic and its consequences. However, during the next few years, we had already seen normal life (even with the added politics and anger), so after such a cataclysmic shift, when our brains expected more novelty, and when it didn't get it, we just blasted through time like nothing new happened.

The Vsauce Paradox - No matter how long, a Vsauce video always feels too short.
... and too long ago.
This is so true
Yes
surprisingly this one feels long to me.
It's not for lack of content, it's because of the fragmented nature of the concepts put forward. differing trains of thought menially subdividing our experience with the content, with the appearance of time passing being attached to other, more distant trains of thought.
I remember sitting down to watch this video thinking "wow, a half hour?", and then, just like that Michael is saying "and as always. Thanks for watching". Yeah, time is strange.

I see Michael and I click, I don't even see the time.
What a trip, returning to a VSauce video about time, after 2 years, reading my own comment at the top, and not realizing it was me. Hi, me from the past!
One of the most fascinating things for me in the last decade has been the discovery of memories of FEELING.
Do you ever remember not what happened or what things looked like or who said what, but how things FELT?
I mean, of course you do. I'm assuming that you do too. But it blows my mind to become conscious of it.
Because one of the things I realize is that you really can never step in the same river twice. Each time in my life, each era from months to years, to even days or weeks, feels completely different.
And so in terms of memory what rocks my world the most is when I suddenly get triggered back into the feeling-vibe of what it was like to exist as me long ago.
Not what happened.
Not how things looked.
But how they FELT.
The whole vibe of that time of my life.
I believe it's a completely unique concoction for every period and every time.
And most crazily, for every person.
In other words, the phrase “I was born in the wrong era” is exactly the kind of thing only a person from this era would say.
its a great time to be alive
How typical of them!!!!!
If you count this era starting in the 1880s then maybe but even before then monks were pining to have lived in the times of Jesus in the 1300s
Me too. My mind still 40s until 90s
that's irony if I every heard it
Everyone: Where's Michael?
Michael: Alright let's just shave my beard for a 30 second intro
He looks so much different without it.
Actually if you don't know
He shave because of Mrbeast 2020 UA-cam rewind
There was a clip of Michael where he loses his face hairs.

Both this comment and the reply are wrong. He shaved his beard as part of a campaign to get people to register to vote. When 10,000 people registered to vote using his link, he shaved it.
@@ahuman._.4991 he actually shaved his hair months before that, they just added the clip to rewind. He put it on his channel D!NG in like August or something

I know it’s stressful for people who adore you to yell “MORE” but we do need you.
Your mind, voice and ability to capture even a fraction of it’s processing is absolutely beautiful . *Thank you for being, Michael*. I hope you continue to create.

One of the strangest feelings for me was the day I turned 28 and outlived my father, I always saw him in photos as a man but at 28 I still felt like a kid.
🖤
A kid indeed, and a heavy burden to carry on beyond him. Stay strong, my friend.
Yep, I'm now older than my dad was when he adopted me. He was 35 and I'm now 37. It feels weird.
I know the feeling. When I hit 29 and was older than my dad, I'm 6 years older than him now. It's a very weird. Feeling indeed. I feel like a kid still when I look back at photos of him, or talk to my my mum. But I'm almost old enough to have a midlife crisis. And be old as balls, when I was was the age I feel as a kid taking tk my mum. It's such a weird weird feeling. I can never put it into words. Sorry for your loss big man! Look after yourself mate.
Probably died of aids from getting butt fucked by too many black dudes lol
5:50 I like how that sort of implies that if you were stuck, immortal, in a 1000 year time gaol and you where conscious the entire time, the moment you got out and started experiencing things again, it would bee like a 1000 year time skip - you would think you where trapped for maybe a year? Maybe a couple months?
I can definitely see that being the case
Man, every time I come back around to Michael greeting the channel, I just spend a few days smiling. Always brings me a little mood boost, and something interesting to think about.
Could we please appreciate how this guy takes us on some kind of magical journey throughout his videos. He starts with one topic and then seems the end that video with this other, mildly unrelated topic but just as we thought the video is over he somehow closes the circle in the last 2 minutes and seamlessly connects them both. Again, well done Michael, well done!
I never know if I'm watching Vsauce or the Simpsons

Lol - I know, I couldn't help but notice how many times his sweater changed either! 😆
Is it a pattern?..

Thanks for the shoutout Michael, keep up the good work.

technically the time it takes for light to get to your eyes means everything you see is a few nanoseconds in the past, longer periods of time the further away it is, most noticeable when you look at things in space and you're basically seeing what stars were doing who knows how many years ago
so no, the time is not now

2 years ago but still a stellar video! Never thought I would be inspired to go be bored...
Love your content! It makes me think about things. What a concept.
I always remember something my dad said: “Electric windows used to be a luxury, but now my car talks to me.”
Electric windows?
@@eduardopaderes2018 I think they’re referring to the car windows
@@eduardopaderes2018 I think they mean rolling the window up and down
Aye he ain’t wrong
Who's car is talking? I'm not doubting that some do. I just haven't seen that yet. Is it a tesla thing?
okay 2021 seems to start right. Michael remembered his UA-cam password
Except the riots, things seem to be going okay
maybe not for carson, but other than that things are fine

The last three segments starting from chrono saunder, scared me. I understood it too well. I thought there’s something wrong with me.
I also thought i was the only one in my family to have this perspective. Until i found this video.
From my experience realistically, time flys when you’re filling up space in isolation or your perception that it went by quick because too much has happened in that period of time. When you count the years let’s say 2017 to 2023. Wow that’s old already once you count the years. Wow the video i’m commenting on right now is already 2 years ago.
When you feel time flys, that’s you reflecting on how much has changed. Therefore, giving you that illusion that the older you are it feels as if you know everything too well about understanding things that it becomes boring. As a child i didn’t knew much about the world. So i still remember things vividly from an adult brain, but barely from remembering back when i was 5-8 years old. As i had a conversation with my sister of what i remember when i was little lol. But these memories they were abstract and small details. I notice as an adult, it’s harder to remember things recently like a month ago or even yesterday lol.
What i notice about time? When i had yard work at the new house. It was insane labor and we dug holes to fill them up with concrete. To make a patio and a deck for our backyard. That whole entire day felt long and i enjoyed staying there at the new house. But i notice something that scares me. When you fill up time with contemporary distractions. You get the illusion that social media or technology makes it seem like time flies or when you watch an old video it feels and looks old as heck. Not until they smile or it brings colors. Then it feels timeless.
Me (22) “i remember in Feb 2019 i went camping with my family!”Someone i had a conversation with, (15) “wow that’s old i bet it was fun”
Me: “To me that’s not old but for you yes because you were younger.” The perspectives with age are different. perceiving time with numbers of it feeling not that long ago.
My experience and takeaway, don’t use social media too much. Do a lot of work or something productive. Time goes by slow that way. And lastly, live in the present. Everything you do will be nostalgia in the future.
If you found this thanks for reading btw. Just my experience.

Lol
Don't forget about Kurzgesagt
@@niduberi Kurzgesagt is more existential, which Vsauce has too. But Michael is deranged, he wasn't the same man after leaving the white room and doing hard drugs in a foreign country for mindfield
(Lovecraft)
Facts!
Michael has gone from saying "this is what is referred to as..." to "this is what I call...". The student of life has become the master.
I think it's because he's making up words now, instead of using ones that other people already made.
I noticed this and had to run it back. Vsauce is really giving us video essays to be referenced by people of the future. if this were the 1800s he would have submitted the transcript to some journal of science.
@@Sunro7 If he was considered an educated man by the intellectual elite, he might do so today. He instead chose instead to educate us simpletons, and for that I am grateful.
Gotta appreciate this man, making content you can rewatch over and over again💙
You never mentioned this, or anything like it, but time feels like it passed by even faster when you think about something fun you did with a loved one who has passed away.

I came to comment this... And one of the first I saw was this. I'm tripping rn ://
I used to watch your videos back in highschool… like ten years ago? Glad to say, even now, they are so interesting.
I love how Micheal is talking about temporal illusion in the time that everyone had it because of the flying years that seem to go by fast,smart from you micheal bravo.
Vsauce's videos that are 10 years old feel like they're just a month old. The same goes for the videos that just a couple of days old but feel that they're just a 6 years old video that you just didn't watch yet.
I thought this video was 6 years old until I looked at the comments
Illusions of time.
Wait. Wut.
