Which means those very distant galaxies we’re seeing today are so old that they may not exist anymore.

I could listen to this guy talk all day? He’s got such a soothing voice!
Anyone else with me?

[da_vaudeville_villian]

The fact that it takes something as fast as light billions of years to reach ANYTHING is hard to fathom

I’m 64 years old now and if I had had a science teacher like him when I was a boy, I would’ve stayed in science and who knows how far I could’ve gone. Teachers and instructors like this guy are the kind we need in our schools today! They make learning exciting and fun and interesting. As learning should be.❤️

13 billion years from our perspective. From the perspective of photon was instant because in speed of light there is no time.
Beautiful universe ❤️

The incomprehensible size of the cosmos, as well as our little speck of dust in it, boggles the mind.

Brian Cox is the Carl Sagan of our time.
We are privileged to be able to watch and listen to this man, he is fantastic.

[welk]

Its amazing to think that a lot of the light we see in images like that were created before Earth was even formed, mind blowing

[gilpizarro]

I am 71 years old and wish I could be at one of this amazing person's presentations. Love knowledge

[arnonuhm]

seeing light from such distant galaxies is like hearing the thunder seconds after a lightning strike. You can sense it, but the thing that caused it is gone already.

[cardboardcrack]

A young Brian Cox!! I could listen to this guy all day some of these numbers in space are mind boggling hard to wrap my head around em

[samuelparker]

That is the definition of “mind blown”

[OptimusPrime-xx]

Yes, put it in perspective. You soon realize we’re significant and insignificant at the same time. Life is the strangest matter in the universe

[rivneo]

Who is this guy? and why his voice travels the speed of what makes our hearts go light. Soothing!

[ronlitz]

His love to teach is something to witness. Presentation is amazing as the facts he explains. tx for taking the time.

[Minerva___]

I was not prepared to have my mind blown this early in the morning. I really appreciate his way of explaining things for my monkey brain.

[CRAIG-or]

That distance of 186, 000 miles per second for an unimaginable 13 billion years is beyond all comprehension. Now imagine if you could travel that entire distance in one second. Would you keep traveling after you have reached the brginning of everything? What exists beyond the beginning?

[veenaprasad]

Universe is so mysterious ✨️
It amazes us every single time... !!!!

[DouglasNicholas-uk]

As fast as light is, there is a whole history of that light

[roberdanger]

You can tell he truly loves learning and sharing the wonders of our universe and his love for it travels through his words into people. I have no doubt that there will be many kids who will follow in his path because of him.
