Wow, I didn’t know the universe is so big! This must be like thousands of football fields.

The map of the Universe reminds me of the mapping of the human brain with its billions of neurons.

When a leaf is caught in a river it quickly aligns itself to the plane of the water's surface and then begins traveling along with the swirling and rotating water molecules surrounding it. Odd how on such a macro scale, things behave with a natural simplicity.

Our galaxy is somewhere in the elbow of the Elden Beast, good to know.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve gazed into the night skies, and to this day I still get the same feeling I used to as a child - fascination. But as I’ve gotten older, my love and appreciation for the stars has only grown. Even if we truly are so insignificant in the grand scheme of the cosmos, I couldn’t picture a better backdrop to be an observer in.

I'll rank this series right up there with my favorite growing up: Carl Sagan's and PBS' "Cosmos". Waiting patiently for my dad to arrive home after work with the latest VHS rental seemed to take forever. And decades later, we have a free series that rivals it in scale, scope, and beauty. Thank you to every single person involved!

I swear. I've always believed that we are just micro organisms inside something's body, just like the ones we have in our body. Looking at this scale it's hard to even say that us humans are even close to the size of an atom of this "body" shown here. Unbelievable

This video is wonderful! An honor to have contributed with my voids and supercluster images!

I am a bit relieved that it takes 5 people to put this together, but honestly I thought there would be about 10-15 people working on these. One of the highest quality content on UKposts I have seen, maybe the best. Have a lovely holiday y'all.

What an unbelievable feat. That’s like standing on the bottom of the ocean and being able to map the entire planet geographically

The universe has to be at least 12 tractors.

This series is truly a masterpiece. It should be required viewing for every schoolkid on the planet.

I legitimately get excited when I get notified about new episodes from HOTU. Truly top-notch quality production. More people need to know about this channel.

I've been thinking about these topics for decades. I chatted to my young son about them. He is about to finish his PhD in Physics. He knows more now than I can list. The best I can hope to do to follow his eight years of in depth study is watch videos like this - or talk to him :-)

I thought i was looking at elden beast💀

It's absolutely insane to try and imagine the sheer scale of the universe. The milky way alone is so massive, yet it's only 1 of millions if not billions of other galaxies. Then the space between these galaxies is hundreds of times larger than that. So many mysteries

This was so well put together my guy. The production value of this is 10/10. Simply brilliant.

I can't count how many times I've heard the story of the universe but this one stuck with me much more deeply than others, very good cohesion of concepts

Been watching this playlist from start, and hearing about Wondrium, and actually processing everything you've put into this series so far; i see how they have inspired you. I love it, once I finish this playlist, i'll probably go check them out.

The best video I've seen on the issue to date. The clarity is impressive, and the visuals are very good.

You taught me more in 45 minutes about the universe, than learned my entire life, in January I officially go to school to become an astrophysicist... What help you have been with only mere words, that resonate on every level, knowledge and abundance collectively given in its most simplistic form. 100,000 thank you s ❤️

I’m surprised that this is an ongoing series and not just clips of other shows from the past. Glad to see this continuing content.

The format of this series makes it remarkably entertaining and informative. It is also up to date, respective of the viewer's intelligence, and encompasses the full range of topics suggested by its name. I am completely hooked and thankful to those involved in its production. Keep the series coming!

We are inside the Elden beast

Whenever I lose perspective and feel like the walls are closing in on me, our unimaginable universe and its limitless wonder saves the day.

This video is a masterpiece. From the beautiful visuals to your thoughtful text and narration, it all comes together extremely well. It deserves as many views as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Please keep up the good work. I can't wait to see your next episode.

So Very Excellent Series ! Ranks above and beyond Sagan's Cosmos, a no small feat !!! Thank You So Much.

Awesome and this presentation is utterly astounding… You’ve explained stuff I’ve only barely understood, and I thank you for that.

15 yrs of UKposts science videos , this is the only time I have ever had the hairs on my body stand on end. This is the best video I have ever watched. I know how it sounds.

I am currently just speechless. The research, narration and knowledge packed in this video is mesmerizing! The amount of depth this video held, yet pertaining to the simplicity to catch the eye of the general audience is extremely commendable! Thank you for this. It has further heightened my curiosity to understand the Universe!

This video needs a double thumbs up option. Fantastic content, well done!

The effect of BAO are so profound that it's a shame it isn't discussed more widely in popsci and outreach. If it's mentioned at all, it goes about a millimeter deep. Meanwhile, this video did a very good job of wading into the concept further while remaining accessible to the general public. Cheers

Gah that was an insanely epic video. It's 3:45AM and the time I spent watching felt like a trance, I didn't realize I was tired until I finished. Thank you for the awesome experience, Jon Farrow!

This series of videos is without a doubt my favorite thing on UKposts. Thank you for the consistently awe-inspiring content.

Would have liked to see a brief explanation of the CMB angular power spectrum and its relationship between BAOs and dark matter over/under densities in the early universe and large scale structure today.

09:38 I love the nostalgic piano music, as if it were video montage of parents recording their baby's early growth.

YES, finally a new episode. I've been watching all the past episodes countless times every single night going to sleep. The content is so amazing and interesting that other science docu don't cover. Yet the voice and narration is so soothing that makes it easy to fall asleep to.

All my life I've been hearing and actively exposing myself to information about CMB and this is the first time I found out that the heat difference is at a scale of 1/100,000. Thank you.

The all just gets more and more intriguing and wonderfull, i never thought as an eight year old looking at the stars it would go on to be so mind blowing.

From the side of religion, David wrote: When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honour. David knew we were small and insignificant comparing to the world out there, and yet, we are the only part of it (at least as far as we know it) that enjoys it.

It's taken me years of reading to learn the stuff you explain in the course of a 45 minute video. I continue to be amazed by how effectively you pack so much information into such a short time while also keeping it in the correct order for proper comprehension.

You present this content like my philosophy of science professor used to. It’s amazing. The ability to explain physics to laymen while keeping things interesting with history and interesting stories. Love this channel and the others from its creators :)

Might have to rewatch this a few times. Never would I have thought I'd get so much information condensed into 45 minutes but otherwise summarised almost the entire history up to now of astrological observations. God met it's match. And the game is still playing out.

Right now, I'm at work. I work as a guard of a fairly large area, I personaly do only nightshifts mainly because I worked in a hotel for a good portion of my life and I just can't stand people at work. Anyway, being in this huge area, for 12 hours per Shift, sometimes having 5 shifts in a row can get a bit ... well overwhelming. One moment you are sipping your favorite tea, the very next moment you see couple of teenagers climbing the fence and right when you get them out, 3,5km away, across the whole area an alarm starts blasting so you need to check it out. Many people can't take this job, mainly the nightshifts, because how scary ot can get sometimes. Yet I find it unbelievably peaceful. If nothing is happening I love to take walks around the area and I always find myself staring at the stars and watching the night sky. It made me so interested in the cosmos so bad I even bought a telescope, which I bring to work and I just look around and make notes, draw anything I see. Sure, I'll never find anything new or something revolutionary, I don't want to anyway, I'll leave that to the smarter and better equipped lads. But since I was a small small kid, I always viewed the cosmos as the biggest scary thing imaginable. The sheer thought how little we are compared to the space is iust something that left me sleepless more then I'd like to admit. Milkyway galaxy and Andromeda galaxy crashing into each other, Sun eventually destroying Earth ... just these two events, that might be BILLIONS of years away from us, just haunts me. It's THE end, nothing else, all the humanity gone, all the stories of humankind, all good and bad just erased from existence. It makes me feel like I'd wake up the next morning and nobody knows what we did yesterday although we can still move forward and somehow get to know what we did yesterday. When any of those two events mentioned before happen, there is nothing. I can't even describe how anxious it is for me even writing this down. Somehow this topic can make me freeze in thoughts for HOURS. Yet with ANYTHING else I look at everything logicaly and quite frankly I'm a huge ignorant with most things. If I take a night walk here and hear some rustle around the corner? I instantly think of 2 things. a) Wild Animal b) Human I turn on my flashlight and go see what it is. 99% of the time It's just a Deer, Fox, Marten or a cat. People are dumb enough to get spotted on camera way before they even get close to the fence. BUT, in situations like these I don't feel fear, I don't have the need of thinking over it at all, I just hear, shine light, go, shoo away the animal (if Its anything other than a cat, I'd do anything for a cat) yet when I think about the space, our universe, how god damn random all of the creation ON this Earth and OF this Earth is. Just a bunch of particles build up, create elements like water, oxygen, carbon, these things for little tiny organisms that somehow get bigger and bigger, now they grew a limb or two, now they build stuff, now they refine the elements all around them and soon enough we will start having sex with robots and whatever else is planned for us. It's just super crazy we are even here. We are intelligent enough to understand the scope of the cosmos. We have phones to see videos like this and be able to connect with each other via the comments here or just by calling... And all of this will some day be just gone. No reverse, no reload, no "back to the lobby", nothing. It's just overwhelming for me to a point I just can't think of anything that will soothe my mind. Sure neither you or I will get to that point, not our children and even their children. Not even children of their children and children of their children. Yet it STILL makes me feel uneasy. More than anything. I can shoo away a big wild animal. I can see a horrible accident on the road. I can loose someone dear to me. Yet I can't bring myself to compose myself when I think of the god damn space. Truly a bane of my existence that thought is.

You deserve to be on millions of subscribers for the work you put into this channel

I freaking love your videos, the production value is through the roof. The amount of relevant information is packed in tight with amazing visuals and with an amazing narrator, and you dont shy away from questions we dont have an answer to.

Thank you for your amazing work and outstanding quality of video and narration.

Watched this with our boys. (10 & 13) They had their mouths agape through the video. I asked them their thoughts on war, racism, and money after the video. They gave the expected answers. The universe gives us perspective. Thank you.

Truth: I am a cosmology junkie. I eat this subject up with a spoon so I don't miss a drop. Loving your channel. I typically have to watch each episode at least twice (not a problem) because they are so information dense (that's a good thing) with a welcome specificity. Many chicken out when it comes to putting a number on some things and rely on 'really really big'. Oh, and I haven't caught you (yet) saying 'millions' instead of 'billions' (trust me, that's a thing). Thank you. I hope I made you smile. Peace.

This was beautiful and without a doubt my favorite episode so far. Thank you for all that you do.

On my 9 years of UKposts content consumption I have to say this is my absolute favourite video by a margin, thank you!

Thank you for sharing such a good quality knowledge. With you, I'm still learning with joy at 61 years old. Thank you univers too ! 😊

this is one of the best documentaries i've ever seen and I cant belive it's free on youtube. Honestly thank you, it's just mindblowing. Im still processing!

Reality as it presents itself to us is something truly special! What wows me just as much is the humans contemplating existence and having figured out or theorized...all of this.

Fantastic show as always ! Thank you.

Interesting how the universe at one point kinda looks like a tree. Reminds me of Yggdrasill, the tree from Norse mythology. It was believed to be the world tree, a giant ash supporting the universe. Pretty cool coincidence, if you ask me.

Just wanted to drop a comment. Really. It's the least I can do for a channel that is such a massive source of terrific content. Never stop. Thank you.

I literally can't think of anything more special than being created by the universe to observe the universe in this inconceivable small yet detailed corners

If you could travel fast enough to leave the entire stellar universe and looked back at it from a long distance away, the universe would look like a star. A bright point of light in the vast darkness of ancient pre-existing space time that our stellar universe is encompassed within. ✨️

Thank you for these series of masterpieces!

Its really hard to picture such a grand scale in your head, this video helped me put it all in to perspective, thanks.

Fun fact: Kopernikus' real name was Niklas Koppernigk, which he latinized to Nikolaus Kopernikus as was a custom for scholars of the day.

THE ELDEN BEAST

This has grown into one of my favorite channels. Thank you for the continually excellent content.

This was a fascinating video! Thank you so much for gathering the research, and compiling it into a very comprehensive and understandable piece. The graphics help explain your points and tell the story succinctly. The manner in which you speak, has a bit of wonder to it, keeps my attention, and makes me curious about what you will be explaining next. This was truly an amazing piece of educational fulfillment. Thank you for this!

That marvellous feeling of elation when you realise you are a meaningless speck in an infinity of Time and Space and that your existence is utterly pointless.

anyone ever notice that the large scale universe resembles neural pathways?

I adore this footage, I have a very cheap projector but the images still come out quite nicely, and some of the commentary is deeply philosophical, fantastic.

Could we all be just surfing through space in a black hole just to end up being spewed out by a white-hole in another universe? I mean could the big bang be the result of massive amount of matter being push through an infinitely small space from another universe?

The large scale structure of the universe reminds me of a magnetic dipole. The field lines emanate from one pole and absorbed through the other end manifesting itself as a manifold in the form of a torus. The universe is a hyper Horn torus, with one side of the hole being the Dipole Repeller, and the opposite side being the Shapley Attractor, linked via a wormhole.

That was really great! I didn't know what to expect (as some of the channels that do space videos are quite a let down) but this was so well done and enjoyable! 👏 👏 In fact, too short! 😄 I just subscribed!

Imagine if the void is actually a Dyson capable civilization

Wonderful, thank you. Well done. Perspective is enlightening.

Wow an astronomy video written and narrated by an actual human without randomly generated ai video footage? Thank you 🙏🏼

I absolutely love these videos and this channel. The best reason for youtube to exist. Ever since I can remember I have always wondered what is the universe, what is outside it, where did it all come from and above all WHY???? This channel feeds that curiosity, poses new questions with every answer.......

Absolutely fascinating, what better way to round off a day than getting lost in the majesty and splendor of our universe, all beautifully presented and explained with such clarity from the narrator. ten out of ten sir.

There is no movie I would watch as often as your videos .. good job !

so excellent! thank you.This should be shown in every classroom in the nation!

Whoever does this music is a superhero. Fantastic content all around. Always excited to learn something new about our amazing universe. You are the voice in my head right before I fall asleep most nights. From the bottom of my heart and the depths of my mind, thank you.

We’re inside of something living, like our universe is one of its cells

Fantastic is the word you need. It means the same as fantastical. It doesn’t just mean good. It means fantastic in the way that something is like fantasy.

Lately I’ve been watching many physics and math series on UKposts, hopefully all this information can benefit me later

The fact that there is something out there that light itself takes a billion years to reach is just unbelievably revealing of the ridiculous size of the universe itself. And even then it keeps expanding, the mind really is not ready for this absurd revelation.

Truly amazing documentary. Words cannot describe my awe at the beauty of narration and also the quality of reasoning....

The first thought that entered my mind when seeing the thumbnail image was Yggdrasil the world tree from Norse mythology.

That four minute intro is probably the best intro to any video I have ever seen

Amazing how this has been put together, so well explained. Fabulous presentation.

37:42 It's not a big issue, but protons and neutrons are composite particles, not elementary particles (quarks, electrons, etc - particles that don't have building blocks)

Hello, Im a little late, but im 14 and im curious with the universe. Ive taught my self calculus, physics, etc. But two subjects that make me question is neuroscience and quantum physics. This video is way better than any video i've seen in months. Its really, really, really beautiful.

This channel is amazing. Quite possibly the holy grail of science content. If Attenborough got a knighthood for his work,you guys should all get two each and some huge tracts of land. Thank you to everyone involved.

Wow. Great video. Concise, thoroughly researched, and accurate information. Incredible writing. Just a superb job. Thank you.

I've grown bored of cosmos films like this one or so I thought. 46 minutes passed by unnoticed. I'm amazed by the grand scheme of the universe yet again. Thank you.

i'd like to see more differentiation between measurements/facts and theories! many/most theories in human history had been proven wrong over time! great work! last third is even better!

Thank God for calm, RP English narration. No hype. No frenetic hyperbole. This is how to do it. Sub'd.

Not to get weird about it, but it kind of resembles the mucus net bathochordaeus charon throws around itself. One of the things I always found fascinating is that the further away it gets from us, the further back in time we're looking at - so anything we're observing that's millions or billions of light years away is how it looked THEN and not now.

Brandon Capehart heres an idea Look at it as if it's soup the bubbles is the broth is dark matter the oily bubbles your stars and gases the veggies are your dwarf planets while what ever you choose as meat is the main planets that are more visible, traveling through time at any rate is plausible but the body needs to be in a rested started while matter moves around it. Good content

Very nice organizational presentation of things that are absolutely indescribable! 🙃

I love these types of videos, they make me realize I’m not alone with my thoughts that steal my sleep time ❤ Have you explored where the “boundary” between existence and “non-existence” is? For example, even the most abstract and “unimportant” thought by the “most” infinitesimal tiny “being” is well within existence. What is “on the other side” of that, I call it “non-existence” for a lack of a better term.

You're welcome! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share more knowledge about the universe with you.
