Are You A Dream Of The Universe?

Sources & further reading:

Absolutely everything you think about yourself and the universe could be an illusion. As far as you know, you are real and exist in a universe that was born 14 billion years ago and that gave rise to galaxies, stars, the Earth, and finally you. Except, maybe not.

Kurzgesagt consistently lures me in with an interesting title, perfectly animates a scientific phenomenon, gives me an existential crisis, and then says “lmao jk, it’s probably fine.”

[Clockwork_Enby]

I love how a lot of crazy cosmic / philosophical theories boil down to “Infinity is a really, really big number”

[heroclixrz]

Two physicists were discussing reality. One said that they were dreaming, the other said he knew they weren't and he could prove it. He proceeded to formulate an airtight proof showing conclusively that the two were definitely not living in a dream. It was such a monumental break through for math and physics that the physicist was awarded the Nobel prize.

And then he woke up.

[Clarity]

Ah yes, Kurzgesagt again giving me both existential crisis, anxiety-depression, fear of death and also hope and chills and hapiness

[Sanguine]

Huge compliments to the animation team. What a work of art.

[TimeBucks]

The trippy nature of existence is awesome!

[DCPTCON]

"Taking science and philosophy seriously can have a positive impact on the world." I couldn't agree more.

[ldfinn]

dude just gave the entire universe an existential crisis 💀

[TheOfficial]

I think what's even more fascinating is the fact that, as we humans gain more and more knowledge... we're only left with exponentially more questions.

[zletroscreations]

I love how this is both a science and philosophy channel. The combination of fact and theory here is incredible.

[NickyG-NZ]

I always go through this Rollercoaster of hating the implications of an infinite universe, and feeling incredibly, indeed infinitely, small and insignificant, then feeling immense relief when I realise that that takes a lot of pressure off and I can just carry on enjoying my life without worrying about the potential cosmic implications

[reggiewhite]

Being called a floating brain is a completely new type of humor I’ve never experienced before😂. I will now refer to this as cosmic humor 😂😂

[championmatt]

The thing is, even if i am the dream of a dead universe, this feels real enough to me. It doesnt matter if it is "real" or not - in the end I believe im here. Whether it be hallucinatory or genuine its still a life that is convincingly real, so live it anyways yk

[The_Qu]

Fun fact: if you were a Boltzmann brain, then you are the one who came out with all philosophies, sciences, theories, and literature in the entirety of history

[lauradisarsztre]

If I was a floating brain, I'd be pissed at how many ads I'm imagining in all the youtube videos I watch

[BlackHermit]

Huge compliments to the animation team. What a work of art.

[masahige]

As soon as it was mentioned that the ink in the glass could form any shape, I was sure this was going to be a Boltzmann brain video. This is probably the best succinct summary of the concept I've seen.

[mighul]

How far this channel has come, I don't think we'll ever get tired or bored of you guys. With all the other things in life, you guys make the world a better place to live in.

[dovhoodofficial]

I'm thankful that I watched this sober
