2 hours and 26 minutes of History of the Universe is the best thing that can happen on a Friday evening.

Oh man, this is going to take me months to watch since I've conditioned myself to fall asleep listening to the history of the Universe. Thank you!

[chatterize]

Thanks! Your videos give me great perspective as I struggle with end of live fears. I receive great comfort knowing that the search for truth will continue.

[madzangels]

Your narration is excellent - people think narration is just someone talking over something but it's much more than that and I can intuitively feel you take it seriously and think deeply how to convey the words. I put this on in the background as I started to work, and I ended up putting down my work and just listening. Wonderful content, you make me proud to be a human.

[DerekGathright]

Thanks! If it’s the length of a movie, I might as well pay for a ticket.

[Aaron-Fife]

Holy hell, it must've taken you ages to make this video. Thank you for the top quality content.

[deepdrag]

This is the best stuff on YouTube. I’d like to see a video where all the folks responsible for creating these masterpieces introduce themselves, tell us a bit about their backgrounds and show us a bit about how they put these videos together.

[RKupyr]

The three minutes starting at 22:10:30 are poetry -- the alluring writing, the unflinching pace of the narration (despite the breathtaking vastness of its subject), the stunning images, the romantic music.

Incredible work!

It's unbelievable that an independent creator on YouTube can make better documentaries than any channel backed by huge corporations.

We live on a blue water ball and we are all alone within billions of light years away in every direction. We are truly living in a very bizarre sci-fi movie.

Words fail to describe the education received. This is brilliant and is the third time I have watched this fabulous work. It will not be the last time I view this. I am so happy to be alive to witness what we know and thirsty for more, much more. Changing tense, I thoroughly enjoy watching this each time and will learn more the more I watch this in the future. I sincerely thank you for this work.

[Rayceemon]

Well written and well presented. My compliments to Leila Battison and the research team
who put this compelling production together. The visuals were instructive as they were
captivating. I can only imagine the work that went into making this cosmic project.
You should all be commended.

[rajeeshcm]

Have been a fan of your content for sometime now. With this you have outdid yourself, surely the greatest documentary ever seen in my life. Thank you again and Please keep making these videos.

[Mephil]

If "normal matter" is only 5% of the matter in the universe, then doesn't that mean that "normal matter" is actually not normal.

[techytech]

For me this channel consolidates all the documentaries I have seen (some good, some dull) and makes it accessible. Just the right amount of detail with outstanding narration.

[jamierennie]

This blew my socks right off, out the window and down the street. Great content and very well put together. Wishing the best, good health and happiness to you and your loved ones.

[Ash-ebwz]

This channel is absolutely brilliant, I found it 5 days ago and I just can't stop watching the videos, I've likely gone through over 3/4s of the content. Even the concepts I find mind boggling and have to rewatch have just captivated my imagination. Thank you so much, you deserve so many more subscribers for the content and I would not be surprised if you dont make over a million very soon.

David Kelly's voice draws you in and wanting to know more. This is so fascinating🥰

[salwaabusaad]

I can’t wait for the amount of knowledge that’ll be represented in this mammoth of a video
