“The sky would be ablaze with the light of every star in the universe.”

I really like that line. Sounds like something you’d find in a fantasy novel.

The blackness of space being evidence of the universe’s mortality really is the most metal thing I’ve heard all day.

[MAWA-Vik]

This was way more of a complicated answer than I was expecting to accept lol.

You can't just ask space why it's black

Hands down one of the best channels on youtube. You have an amazing narration voice and your videos are damn near perfect

[Tomwesstein]

2:27 Okay I really need to clean my screen...

[cjshakes]

I like the path you took on explaining how dim light becomes monochrome to our eyes! I've never heard someone explain that aspect of the night sky. Another interesting thing is, if we could see microwaves, the sky WOULD be quite bright as the CMB covers the night sky completely.

Why does he sound like he is continuously smiling while speaking?

[peyxander]

Your channel is extremely undervalued. Your videos stimulate my mind into becoming extremely curious about this beautiful universe, even more than I am naturally. Thank you

it boggles my mind, how freaking ginormous this universe is. it really really freaks me out.

yet we here on earth complain of the smallest things.

Space isn't black, our eyes can't see all the spectrums in space

I really hate that the Universe is expanding faster than C.

[ProximaCentauri]

I have subscribed to lots of space channels and man, you are the BEST narrator.

[Trentberkeley]

I’m like a little smarter now, if I can remember this.

[darksilver]

Love all youre videos man.

Thank you for another wonderful and accurate video. I've read up on this very subject, but let's face it- science publications can be a bit dry. You always bring these to a level which everyone can understand, but never sacrifice accuracy.
