Houses can be close together but at the same time far apart feom other small homes and the atreet lights were also spured and far apart so when it's night time its really dark ams the sky is littered with millions of stars. It was beautiful. When i was 8 i came to the US and was disappointed at how empty the sky is.

  • it's crazy that this is made before we even had an accurate idea of what a black hole's accretion disc looks like, since Interstellar invented the rendering technology necessary to get the image and it wouldn't release until like 7 months after this, and then we didn't get a real picture until the Webb telescope. Still very cool a decade later.

    • ...Because we don't even know if "Dark matter" is actually a form of matter. It's just an unknown source of gravity. Neil DeGrasse Tyson has said a more appropriate name for it would actually be "dark gravity." And this isn't to be confused with dark energy either, which is the mysterious force responsible for the expansion of the universe to keep accelerating (which we can observe and have shown in experiments) as opposed to eventually slowing down like we would have guessed.

In other words you can anticipate that the video is going to have tons of random facts but you're not exactly sure how it will unfold until you've watched it. Unpredictability predictable is kinda nonsensical because you're saying the videos are predictable, while simultaneously saying you can't predict whether they will be predictable or not
