Hello folks! Hope you enjoy it. Plenty more to come, barely a trillionth of a second has passed so far. Also, I hope you all enjoy the myriad ways I say quark in this particular episode. Three quarks for Muster Mark!
CORRECTION: The brief video of what I thought was Lahore, in Pakistan is actually India. Mistake with stock footage labelling. Very sorry!

Most would asuume at my age I would hang out at McDonald's as an old geezer coffee club member. But, as luck would have it the excellent delivery of this program and others like it sparked a desire to learn! Life is good... Peace!

I really cannot fully express how wonderful of a series this has been so far. Leila's writing is beyond excellent and David's voice is so perfect for this. Your entire team should be commended and given awards for this series. Thank you so much for sharing your genius to educate people. It's the best gift you could ever give anyone.

It drives my wife crazy when I watch videos like this. She says there are things mankind shouldn't think about, much less know. Then she puts on her headphones and listens to her audiobooks. I get a smile on my face because she is listening to the likes of Asimov and Lovecraft and wonder which of us is on the more fantastical journey. I love that woman.

The music is very elegantly textured in these. And never intrusive. I like the somber intro main theme with a sampled or synthesized female voice drone being rhytmically pitchshifted and/or filtered with a piano laying chords in the background. Mixing a droning electronic effect with an acoustic. Is kind of poetic. Like an electromagnetic field over an acoustic.

Great video! The presentation and content is amazing. I also like how it's not full of noisy flashy transitions or colorful goofy graphics all over the place.

Thank you for presenting this sublime topic in it's full majesty and not presenting it like we're a bunch of 5 year olds.

I love the historic angle you seem to have in all episodes regardless of author. It's very interesting to hear and see about the history of science because it gives so much insight into how we got to where we are. Gradual progress over time is the norm. Newton, Einstein and guys like them are the outliers :-)

I’m so glad I can be here to witness the creation of this channel and be here from the beginning. I can’t wait to congratulate you on 1 mil one day. Ik it won’t take too long 😎

Dude, I f***ing love it when you drop the super late opener right when I've forgotten all about it having not appeared because I'm already enthralled. It's like fwoosh~ like dropping the bass of documentaries. Starting the show with a mic drop~ lol. Amazing.

[abhishekdas]

This along with History of the Earth are two of the best channels in YouTube. Keep up the amazing work. Looking forward to documentaries on Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Exoplanets, Parallel Verse and many more.

I read books on this and attend conferences on this, all as a hobby. Most of it is still over my head, but this summary is so well done that I have added it to my list of videos to listen to again - a rare event. Well done team.

[Dogsnark]

There’s so much here I don’t really grasp, but I feel I know more about the 4 forces than I did before watching this video. I’m not a physicist, but this stuff is somehow fascinating to me.

I love how we're four episodes in, and we have yet to pass the *first second* of existence

[clasbin]

I have a 5-sigma confidence this is the greatest story ever told, brilliantly written and masterfully delivered.

[nanofate]

I remember a scientist saying that what he looks forward to the most is when he says "huh. That's weird"

[KippiExplainsStuff]

The writing in this show and also the entire history of the earth simply fantastic!

[neonraytracer]

Absolutely fantastic. I've seen so many space-universe documentaries, I watch Anton Petrov share discoveries on a daily basis and have loved physics and the universe since I was little.

This series is the best explanation and exploration of the universe I've ever experienced. The amount of work, understanding, and writing that goes into this really shows. This is so high quality. I hope your growth as a channel becomes exponential!

[gaslitworldf.melissab]

Brilliantly done. When I saw the first installation of this _History of the Universe, _ I thought wow, that's ambitious, but it looks like you're more than equal to the task.

[woodygilson]

Brilliant! All of it - the visuals, the voice over, the script writing, and especially the research. This is how science needs to be communicated.

[michaelizzy]

I love how this video has been out for months and has less than 1mil views. Other videos are getting 12mil views in hours. The info is amazing and never thought i would be so interested in this science but knowledge is power. I hope more people start using this media for learning and not just as a distraction.
