I may never own a home, but it's pretty dope to be alive in this time to see these discoveries!

Best sci-doc channel on YouTube. It's all cohesive and well researched. No obnoxious ambience, no AI just reading a script. Thank you for this channel. You've earned a Bell

[Nova-uyub]

The script, the narration, the graphics, the subjects, the presentation, all top tier. Undeniably one of the best docuseries.

Who ever narrates this understands cadence and tempo and just gets it. Morgan Freeman style.

I always love getting notifications from you. These documentaries have really helped me after my Dad's death. Knowing that we have based all our natural laws on about 10% of the actual matter in the universe. This has really helped me get rid of the deterministic view point I had developed over my college education and helped me by giving me hope that I would see my Dad again in the afterlife. I would even settle for knowing that he was reincarnated. At least then, he wouldn't be gone forever. I miss him every day. He was and is the reason I became a scientist in the first place. Thank you.

It always makes me a bit emotional thinking about where we've come as a species. We're here contemplating and exploring some of the wildest questions about the fundamentals of our universe. It's often a background to all the craziness that goes on in our world. But it's a reminder that humanity is capable of some truly amazing things.

after more than 16 years on youtube .. this is without a doubt my favorite channel. by far. nothing else even comes close.

i said it before but will happily repeat: the mixture of beautifully written scripts, well researched, cutting out the bullshit and sensationalism.. with the voicing, which is plain and simple: perfect. taking pauses when needed, letting important thoughts sink in, pronouncing the corner stones .. then the editing, the selection of music .. i just can not praise you people enough.

i fall asleep to science documentaries for more than a decade now .. but the urge to rewatch a video over and over to not miss a single beat has never been there in the way it is with your work.

i am sending your videos to all of my close ones .. not to promote you .. but just to do them a favor.

and they keep thanking me for it!

please never stop <3

Astronomy, cosmology, and physics every night as I go to sleep…Entire History of the Universe is by far my favorite channel!! Love it when I see that new video each month!

I love that I live 35 miles from cape Canaveral… I get to see almost every single launch unless it’s too cloudy out 🤩

Ten years ago I was hopeful that I would live long enough to see the fruits of the James Webb telescope. Very happy to have made it.

I've never been so amped for bedtime tonight

Huge fan of your content — always waiting for the next one.

[OOoOski]

Watching James Webb’s launch was one of the most stressful moments of my life.

[shinshooklive]

I love this series, I watch them all the time.

[Donnirononon]

This is one of my favourite channels when it comes to explaining and maybe simplifying things for the average viewer. With a lot of channels i have noticed that they simplify the topics in somewhat weird ways but then also draw the wrong conclusions from their own simplifications. So far, i never had a moment like this with your videos as i always found them very well researched and also reviewed before you upload them. Every time you upload i know i will be happy watching it and that you wont BS me :)

[Midatlanticriverrat]

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, an update!!!! I LOVE YOU guys. you are like the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST science documentary in youtube. If they had a superlike (one that a user could only give but once a year) you guys would most definitely get it.

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

It's such an honor and privilege to be alive and be well into one's mid-life to see a project like this succeed. How amazing, what we naked apes can do when we put our minds and resources to task. I often wonder where we might be had we devoted the bulk of our collective resources to projects like this rather than channeling them mostly into more and more clever ways to blow each other up based on tribalism...Thank you, as always, for the epically fabulous content!

[generationxpvp]

What a gift this channel is. Science communication is so important, thank you 🙏

[miguelmederos]

Everyone stop what you're doing. History of the Universe dropped a new video.

[Slitherpy]

Such a wonderful channel. Can't thank you enough for all your hard work.
