Sorry, Space Is Just Too Big And Scary

Показать описание
Space, the final frontier... With what we currently know about the Universe and the physics that make existence, it might just be a too big of a challenge to do deep space exploration in a meaningful way. Even if we did find alien life on a distant exoplanet, it seems that the laws of physics, and mainly the speed of light and causality, get in the way of getting anywhere far in a practical way.

No idea how you can produce a script like this, combining so many science facts & educated opinion. Every video you release makes me feel smarter than I was when I woke up. 😊This was the best 40 minutes of my day.

The algorithm needs to push this channel more!

One of the best channels on YouTube. Brilliant stuff

So judging by the clock on the bookcase you are travelling at the speed of light.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever.






But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

1. The algorithm suggested your channel

2. I started watching and got hooked

3. I thought, hm 🤔 this is great content, excellently explained, with perfect diction

4. And above all, you don't have vocal fry

5.Hence, I subscribed and gave you a like.

Great Episode!!!

You did such a fascinating job detailing the trajectories and speed of our probes.
Where they're going... How long it will take... Etc.

Pondering the scale and shape of all there is... _Scary_ for sure!

The thought of the vastness of space and the possibility of other beautiful places that humans will never be able to desecrate fills me with hope.

Superb videos! Thank you.
Also love how they are not polluted with hugely annoying embedded advertising.

Here's an idea - send a probe to nearby stars - a probe that can take energy from them, to power a signal. The signal should be equivalent to the Voyager golden record. Considering the time scales, it would probably be a relic of a lost civilization, but at least someone would know we were here

I was hoping for a new video from this channel for a while, but this longer form video is definitely worth the wait.

Possibly somewhere 100s or 1000s of light years away Earth is being watched and being called an exoplanet with the possibility of life.
Thanks, great doc.

So glad I watch so much space content that a smaller, gem of a channel like yours has been recommended. Instantly subscribed.

I always cringe a little when I hear that something cannot be done. The science (and history) books are full of respected, grey hair scientists saying something is impossible that was later achieved by a younger generation of scientists.

I believe 1 of 2 things to be true. Either faster than light travel is truly impossible and thereby space travel beyond our own solar system is little more than a curiosity or space is maleable enough that "warp drive" technology is actually possible and it's development is imperative for true interstellar travel. Since the one exception I'm aware of for faster than light travel is moving space itself.

I think they're big fluffy anthropomorphic cat people, and I wanna meet them

It's a cruel fact that we're too far away 💔
