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.

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

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!

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

I thought i was looking at elden beast💀

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

We are inside the Elden beast

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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 :-)

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 :)

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.

Fantastic show as always ! Thank you.

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 ❤️

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

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

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.

Thank you for these series of masterpieces!

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.

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 ! 😊

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

41:54 - Excellent visual! Thanks.

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?

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!

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Imagine if the void is actually a Dyson capable civilization

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

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

this channel is cathartic as well as educational. thank you so much.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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. ✨️

I really struggle to get my head around the universe, if the universe is expanding what is it expanding into and how big is that expanse? Could there be multiple universes in the great expanse and one day two universes will meet?

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.......

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

Nice job! We´re getting there. I love this stuff!

The universe has to be at least 12 tractors.

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.

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.

I've been whatching your video for the past week and beside the fact that they are really interesting and well made, I can see similarities with the show Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson and I Love it!!

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

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

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

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

THE ELDEN BEAST

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

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.

The most interesting thing about the structure and system is that we as minds and as thoughts are so tiny that we pass straight through the black holes thus ensuring that our minds and thought patterns remain eternally intact.

I think my head is going to explode from all the mind blowing discoveries in the universe!

Wonderfully written and the perfect production. Narrator and background track perfect balance.

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)

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

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.

Near the end I heard you saying "We don't know. Nobody does." Not knowing how it all began and evolved is becoming even more painful as I near my end of time. I am not good enough to figure them out myself. There are so-called standard models (of the Universe and elementary particles) but none is convincing -- like GR. Understanding means never having to mention some singularity or dark stuff. (Love Story?) And I am still looking for a true love of my life.

That was so enjoyable! Thank you.
