Let’s Travel to The Most Extreme Place in The Universe

Sources & further reading:

The universe is pretty big and very strange. Hundreds of billions of galaxies with sextillions of stars and planets and in the middle of it all there is earth, with you and us.
But as enormous as the universe seems looking up, it seems to get even larger when you start looking down. You are towering over worlds within worlds, within worlds – each in plain sight and yet hidden from your experience.
Let’s go on a journey – we’ll start in a park, about a thousand meters long, enough for a 15 minute walk. Every time we click a magic button, we’ll become a thousand times smaller. Ready? Let’s go.

This channel might be one of the best things that has ever happened on the internet. The quality of animation, narration, writing, music... It's far beyond what any other educational channel has ever achieved, and it somehow keeps getting better with time. I have nothing but massive respect for whoever is running this spectacle.

[Alucitary]

The suit being set to Mini for going smaller, and Wumbo for going bigger is amazing.

[isaaccboyd]

I love the fact that temperature literally became physics at a certain scale. That’s a fantastic way to explain what heat and temperature really are

[valorz]

The idea of a bee flying faster than a jet but for only like a few seconds before it craters the ground is hilariously awesome.

[daadirroorow]

"Planck-length is the distance light travels in a Planck-time. Planck-time is the time light takes to travel a planck-length."
*Makes perfect sense to me*

[Eclpsed]

I think it would have been worth mentioning just how small the Planck length actually is. Our adventurers pressed their shrink button a total of only four times to get down to the size of an atomic nucleus. But they would have to press it SEVEN *MORE* TIMES in order to reach the Planck length! And even then, the Planck length would appear to be the length of a marble.

[techsiastic]

It's mind bogglingly amazing that even with such a limited time this channel provides us the absolute best content out there..

[drewg]

It's so impressive how you manage to sum up incredibly complex concepts in the span of a 10 seconds that took me a full semester to study

[matustkac]

It absolutely amazes me how far this organization has gone since 2013. Astonishing video. I cant even imagine how much work it was to create this on a scientific basis and I am totally certain that people that dont know this channel, will definitely think this is sci-fi. Thanks many times to all of you guys for all of your work! Exactly as you mentioned, you are igniting curiosity and will to become a better human being. I am sure that you are probably well aware of this, but you are creating a better future for all of us! :)

[AnvilCrawlersGaming]

The fact that they changed the button from M for "mini" to W for "wumbo." This is what makes this the best channel ever.

[groundbreaker]

"In the end, the perfect place might be where you are right now; not too big, not too small." That's why I love this channel, it delivers knowledge that can fill you with nihilistic despair one moment, and then drop some really heartfelt inspiration the next.

[General_X]

I'm 40 years old now. Watching your videos does something for me that I didn't expect would be possible anymore:
I watch and experience the childhood wonder we all used to have with new experiences. I just press play, sit back, and take it all in.
Thank you so much.

I’ve always struggled to imagine what the world would look like at the size of a bacterium. Imagine what a line of ants would look like at the size of a bacteria. Amazing vid as always!!

[kidney]

Let's see if I got this straight. So the reason why bumblebees "shouldn't be able to fly" is because someone forgot to factor in the increased density of air at their size?

[Oofator]

You can really feel how much this channel has improved since their first animation. This looked so beautiful :)

[anomaly]

Makes me think about what Ant-Man (2015) could’ve been. I imagine a segment or segments in the movie where it’s just exploring the microscopic/subatomic world in an Interstellar-like style with beautiful visuals and everything like in this video. Like the subatomic scene but longer. Would’ve been cool imo.

[koheitanaka]

This channel is really pushing the boundaries of what an educational video could be.

[Whoami]

I just need to say, once again, Steve Taylor, you voice is perfect for these videos. It inspires curiosity, caution and a sense of hope and adventure. Thank you, and thank you to the whole Kurzgesagt team, writers, researchers, animators, all of you. Your content is easy to follow and fun for everyone to watch. :)

0:41 “Please slip into this magic science suit so you don’t die and can still see” This made me EXPLODE with laughter

[savagecabbagedank]

My god I can’t believe how nobody is mentioning how beautifully the video was ended off at 10:12. I also give huge props to whoever composed the soundtrack, it really makes these words hit home.

“If you look up, the universe is large and strange. So incredibly large and strange. But if you look down, into the tiny and and extremely tiny, the universe seems even larger, and even stranger. In the end, the perfect place might be where you are right now - not too big, not too small”

Whoever writes the script for Kurzgesagt, I truly appreciate how you end off videos each time. Really leaves me thinking about it and more so appreciating life in of itself. Thank you everyone in the Kurzgesagt team!!!
