This is by far the most well edited clip ever in Whatculture's history.
And the funniest...
And the smartest...
Well done Peter, well done!!

Ok that last one was awesome! can I get a link to that? I honestly can't think of anything more hilarious than gambling monkeys. that painting of the dogs playing poker is so last century.

I’m a scientist at Harvard and I can honestly say that the Sun is hot

So the question about life, the universe and everything is: "How many times do you need to fold a piece of paper to reach the moon?", because the answer is 42.

[codekhalil]

That folding paper fact blew my mind. Well done Whatculture. Keep it up

I just realized my second wife was MORE DENSE than a Neutron Star!! LOL

We can fly like birds on Titan? Quick, somebody let Bungie know this! I'm tired of being pushed off an edge by large blasts.

2:32 Ummm no... While a neutron star is indeed incredibly dense, to the point that it forces electrons and protons together into more neutrons, they are not even close to the most dense thing in the universe.

That honor is head and shoulders above and beyond the Neutron star, and is firmly held by the black hole singularity, specifically supermassive black holes. A point of such incredible density that even the neutrons are themselves crushed into an unfathomably smaller point themselves, resulting in a point hardly a tiny fraction the size of a single neutron containing millions of solar masses.

Neutron stars are the nova remnants that weren't sufficiently dense to create a black hole, black holes are the nova remnants that went much much too far.

I hate when people regurgitate that folding paper thing. It's a math equation not based in reality because while the thickness increases, the surface area decreases. That means you'd start off with a piece of paper which surface area was greater than the distance you're trying to reach.

The editor of this video is good, keep him on. his smooth animations made me feel happy for a minute or two. Has a nice floppy doppy feel

I love how the comment about the money : "but they'll spend it on gambling and prostitutes" is not even a joke as the research concludes.

[RikiNewtonMusicianSongwriter]

Loved the octopus's being described as 'greedy c+n&s'. Appealed to my childish humour. Lol.

[tylerrue]

You guys make me wish I was British, lol. I love the humor and delivery, and the accent somehow manages to make the sarcasm so much funnier.

[RatFacedJasper]

I guess I should just be grateful you didn't title it "never knew", because most of this list is fairly common knowledge.

[YouDANO]

HAHAHA I missed you guys! I'm from Puerto Rico! Finally got my internet back after f#%* hurricane Maria! gonna binge watch the channel! keep it up!

[mangarslittlehelper]

Peter! Glad to hear your voice in this winter of despair!

[TdubDee]

Due to the flexibility of its spine and its terminal velocity, a cat could survive a fall from the Empire State building

[RebelEight-zq]

its funny how the math on the paper-folding one checks out but hard to visualize ...it's blowing my mind. also, i hate math.

[sammyflores]

Peter! Always a good time hearing you guys over at whatculture.

[freeloader]

Hahaha. I like how you guys throw shade at each other.
