To _try_ and get some perspective on what a "Trillion" represents, I offer you this:
1 million seconds = about 11 days.
1 Billion seconds = about 32 YEARS.
1 *_TRILLION_* seconds .. would take you back in time to ~30, 000 B.C.

Hey, Thoughty2. I've been watching your videos for years now. I dont think I've ever commented (im quite a quiet chap). I just wanted to say thanks for all the entertaining information and hours and hours of videos. A cup of tea and one of your videos always uplift my day ❤

I just want to say these videos have helped me immensely. Been struggling a lot with daily life, for a rather long time, I'm still fighting the good fight; but these topics let me get out of myself for a bit and leave certain headspaces behind. I discover much grander perspectives and broader perceptions. I can see all the wonder, humor and intrigue of an array of subjects and experiences that illuminate the wider scope of life and not just what I see from my little window of simply trying to function in society. And all that is very much appreciated <3

Hey Thoughty2, it's been awhile since since I've seen anything from you on here, glad this one popped up when it did. I love the way you present the ideas and concepts in these videos, and the topics themselves are always very deep and interesting.
On that note, my daughter is 17 and is becoming increasingly curious about this sort of thing. I personally have a deep love for cosmology, quantum effects, and the like. It's the science of reality, or how we study the building blocks of existence, as I'm fond of saying. So naturally, the more she hears and learns the more she comes to me and we engage in very long, deep rooted & complex conversations about what is and could be. It's always better when you have someone to share your interests with, or even just an objective outside opinion.
We just talked about this exact topic a few days ago, but of course I didn't have the numbers off the top of my head, so this came at great time. I've shared the video with her, and told her to look at more of the content you've produced on similar subjects.
Long story, sorry.Really just trying to say thank you, & I'm a big fan, & that this stuff helps hold our little family together. Stay thoughtful my friend

This type of reasoning and logical discussions merging the realms of science metaphysics and speculation is the way forward. We need these discussions in school not just memorising concepts in a textbook as facts and leaving no space for discussion. Natural curiosity should be preserved.

These are my favorite Thoughty2 videos. Ones about space, planets, the search for life in our universe. They give me inspiration to look forward to getting older, to seeing how many more amazing discoveries we uncover in this lifetime…. Thank you Thoughty2 🙏🏼

[JayVerdad]

this an why files are my favourite channels atm. keep up the good work thoughty, and thankyou 👊🏼

When we talk about things being unlikely, I think the sheer scale of the universe handles that easily. When we talk about trillions of planets over the course of tens of billions of years, it feels like almost any chance outcome should happen, and happen quite often. Take into account how many more years the universe has ahead of it...

Lord Beerus is obviously to blame for the missing planets.

_"Your world exists in an area of congregation, an area that has many inhabited worlds. You do not see this within your own Solar System, but beyond your Solar System, this is most certainly true. You do not live in a sparsely populated part of the universe. You do not live in a region that is uncharted and unknown to others. This gives you certain disadvantages because your world is being scrutinized by many powerful forces. They are seeking an Intervention now because humanity has reached a point in its development where it has built an infrastructure that other races believe they can use for themselves."_

Your humour is why I keep coming back to your videos, Thoughty2. It gets me every time. 😂

Thanks for the video!! I always look forward to seeing a new one from you!! I have Long Covid and try to do quizzes to help keep my brain functioning with the brain fog. I always try to give you credit for getting a question right!! So thanks for all the great content. And your book, Stick a Flag in It, I’ve listened to it at least 4 or 5 times on audible. ❤

Still some of the best information in story form on the Internet! Keep up the great job!
