- video from Imax "Cosmic Voyage"
- music from "The Matrix" (Don Davis) and
a composition by Jake Kaufman ("Awake")

[NanazNY]

one of the greatest video on YouTube, awesome background music too TY for sharing :)

[JackieScottAmateurAuthor]

One of the most fascinating documentaries I have seen, and never forgotten, Jackie

[WEVA]

ive been looking for this god damn video for years now...

I enjoy this one in particular because it gives us the distance per ring....thank you!!!

[kamilt]

We are in the perfectly created Game! We might live in the Atom!

[quintiax]

All those atoms be like:

Hey you! Move a bit!
No, you move!
No you!
DONT GET ME MAD BRO DONT GET ME MAD.

[Nesmaniac]

This makes me feel a bit cramped. I want to live in a bigger universe.

[The_Primary_Axiom]

Could it be possible our universe is the size of an atom that's part of something much bigger ?

[askquestionsplz]

sometimes i sit in my apartment and think about this, just panning out into the universe that never ends? how does it make sense? what is it? why are we here? 

[oldhamegg]

how did they get a camera so far away from earth?

[djnugget]

Wow! My life exists from my office to the bathroom and vending machines today.

[roguemegabyte]

I remember watching this when I was 6 years old!! Super nostalgic indeed...

[ohnono]

😱 OMG this video was amazing because I love space

[bakedwafflesss]

watch this in silence and feel not special, watch this with the music and feel special in this universe

This video fails to do the scale of the universe justice, but it is a noble attempt. In reality, the cosmos go on quite a bit more than this video suggests. In fact, it is most likely infinitely huge, and always has been, as space-time geometry has been measured and found to be flat. If the universe has any curvature to space-time on the large scale, then the universe may indeed be finite, and the flat geometry found in the observable universe would still indicate that the universe must be absolutely gigantic compared to the 92 billion light-year across observable universe, just as the Earth is gigantic compared to the scale on which the Earth appears to be flat.

"There are two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but I'm not sure about the first one." - Albert Einstein

If the universe is infinitely huge, then, from the time of the Big Bang, it has always been infinitely huge, going on forever in all directions, up, down, and side to side, that is. Just think, below your feet, above your head, and to your side, the universe goes on forever, each galaxy likely containing life, just like our own. It is foolishness and idiocy to me to assume a finite universe, as so many do, as the universe is everything that exists, including all outsides to anything you could name, including the observable universe.

If there is an outside to any universe, then, given that the word 'universe' means all that exists, an outside must exist INSIDE the universe at a location that will automatically be a part of 'everything that exists'. The word 'multiverse', I think, is a stupid word, as any 'multiverse' is better described as being a universe, the one we live in, or the one our 'sub-verse' exists in. If there are other sub-verses (what we call universes), then I imagine they might be a set of dimensions within an infinite number of dimensions, such as ours is four-dimensional, but, I am probably wrong, as most of us are most of the time when it comes to the unknown. Occasionally, however, a few of us are right once or twice during our lives about the unknown, most notably those scientists whose names are well known.

If the universe is infinite, then, since there is a probability for life to occur on Earth, and a probability for Earth-like planets, then there are an infinite number of Earths and non-Earths with life on them, even intelligent life such as ours. There are also an infinite number of Earths, on which each of us has a twin with the same name, that is so identical we would think they are us, but, like two nearly identical snowflakes, none of our twins are precisely the same as us. The average distance would be calculated based on the probability of Earth existing right here, and that average distance is astronomical, perhaps many times the diameter of the observable universe (all observable universes overlap within the universe as a whole, and go on forever in every direction). To think that there is an edge to the universe is nonsensical to me.

The observable universe, now about 92 billion light-years across, once fit into a space a billionth of a billionth the size of a proton, and has expanded that much since 13.7 billion years ago. At the beginning, the observable universe, being so tiny, was surrounded by more singularity going on in all directions forever. This infinite universe then had space-time added to it everywhere, at all points, so amazingly fast that a shock of an instantaneous inflation of space-time shocked and rocked the infinite cosmos, then the expansion pulled apart the singularity into the nearly uniform universe, with slight irregularities, we see today.

galactic clusters are spooky, in between them it's just millions of lightyears of absolutely nothing.

What if it turns out that the universe is actually the cellular structure for an animal living on a planet, orbiting a sun, in a galaxy in a universe. To single cell organisms, our bodies are the universe, basically we are all god

[ks_ig]

*sits in corner and cries about the vast universe*

[boilerhoer]

Literally everybody: *Solar System*

The video: **SUN AND PLANETS**

[SpaceUncovered]

Quarks yes they are vibrating strings because if there were pieces then there would be something inside the quarks .
