3 Cosmic Time Capsules

Long before we were around, the universe was preserving clues about the distant past, in everything from little balls of carbon to huge groups of stars.

The sheer joy with which Reid says the word "buckyballs". I live for this.

[ninogaggi]

I want to get Reid sayings “Buckyballs” for my text alert🤔 nah my ringtone.

[torina]

Not gonna lie, at first I thought the title said “3 cosmic time collapses” I got very confused and started panicking for a moment.

[semipenguin]

Captain America doesn’t appreciate people messing with Buckyballs.

Great video. Another time capsule is the Cosmic Microwave Background, which formed when the universe was 380, 000 years old.

huh. This whole time I thought bucketballs were a synthetic phenomena. Mind blown.

The Buckyballs with the different ratio of helium sounds like something aliens could send out to try pointing people to them. Like how we have some hints to our world and solar system on probes we sent out, maybe aliens decided that the ratio of helium 3 and 4 was a significant marker to their location.

Buckyballs are about as awesome as it gets! :)

[phoule]

"She Blinded Me With Science" had better be on that album.

[bazmanj]

Always a good day when Buckminster Fuller gets a mention 🥳

If no man is an island, then all cats have tails.

[julianagil]

[Beryllahawk]

Very cool video!

And this album, y'all? It is GOOD. Really good!

Gravity doesn't pull. It pushes and is merely an effect of mass on space-time.

[acekiller]

I will be rock solid in my time capsule.
