“Maybe you should take that with a grain of salt. *But what if you did?*”

Vsauce level transition there

[thesovietkevin]

"So what did you learn today?"

"We have millions of FedEx trucks sending air to our brains"

[yolopolo]

Props to the camera man for taking all those dangerous shots in space

Bruh leave scorpion doom alone I’m tired of my phone blowing up

[Corzappy]

The fractal analogy is literally perfect.
No matter how far away or how close up you get there is seemingly no end in sight, it just keeps going.

[lewisseale]

Vsauce: *doesnt make a space video for years*
Wren: Fine, I'll do it myself

[egvkwqq]

"size is irrelevant at the quantum level" Finally a good excuse thanks mate.

Beginning: Atoms are incredibly small

Toward the end: TERROR OF THE PENNY

[pranaysanam]

The screen play is just amazing and this guy’s script and narration just took this video to while another level. And not to mention that it being very informative and educative.

“Size is kind of irrelevant at the quantum level”

*me and the boys getting ready to head to the quantum level*

“Just imagine a giant planet sized disk, filled with tennis balls.”

*Puppy Heaven*

[Tegres]

"I wouldn't be surprised if you took that with a grain of salt, but... what if you did?"
That was a real Vsauce moment.

[smjarvis]

There’s more molecules of H2O in a teaspoon of water than there are teaspoons of water in the ocean.

[Love-htlp]

“Atoms are the smallest things in the universe”

Me: *Sweating nervously*

[Kazutoification]

I'm all for the running transitions into a shot of Wren riding.

[takayamontezdeoca]

Can we just step back and realize we’re getting this kinda of incredible content for free

[russellcurtis]

I remember reading somewhere that a planck length is comparable to a micron (one thousandth of a millimeter) in the same way as a micron is comparable to the entire observable universe; so the size of a human being actually leans more toward being “big” than it does “small” when you are comparing all possible scales.

[DeanLa]

Regular people: "very interesting"
Me, long time corridor watcher: "hidden cut, hidden cut, hidden cut".

[lerax]

USA: imperial system
rest of the world: metric system
Wren: tennis ball system

[kepler]

Teacher: How far is alpha centauri?
Me, an intellectual: 14 pennies

[ethangunter]

Can we just take a second to appreciate those jogging to riding transitions? Those were smooth as silk.
