THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
#InfiniteUniverse #HowBigIsTheUniverse #CoolWorlds
This is the best channel in the observable KZhead.
Have you found SEA. Thats great too 👍
@@MrJimtimslim definitely!
Humans are their obsession and mental masturbation with best athlete, best this, best that, best physics youtube channel...all so immature and silly.
@@fitnesspoint2006 jeez I bet you're fun at parties, i think he was joking, there's obviously a better KZhead channel somewhere in the observable universe....it's massive 😂
@@MrJimtimslim and ever expanding! 🤣 and yes I was joking.
Sometimes, when I watch these videos and they end, I feel like I'm coming back to Earth from a trip to space. :)
Smoking weed is bad
@@thatswhatithought6519 no, it's pretty good! 👍😎👍
I know what you mean my friend!
Seriously! I fall asleep to his “Journey To The End Of The Universe” video every single night😂I feel like I am literally traveling the cosmos lol
Yeah, it feels bad this time ya know? An infinite number of me doing infinite things and here i am sitting in my chair, no pants, crumbs of potato chips on my face watching KZhead vids.
Every time I finish one of these I feel like a changed person. Thank you really for making these and keep up the great work Dr. Kipping.
Ditto.
I can PROMISE you, Prof. Kipping, that your own impact on _this_ world through your videos is far greater and more positive than anything you could imagine.
Single-handedly reignited my passion in astronomy after falling out of love with it twenty five years ago. I never thought I’d pick up a peer-reviewed paper or get out my telescope again and his videos made me crave this knowledge again. Thx for your post
He has done so much for my understanding of this place we live in. A note to a great comment from a few months down the road.

@@chrisdooley1184888
if he doesn't believe in God he doesn't know anything
Its remarkable how this question weighs in my mind yet has no real bearing on my life whatsoever. I shouldn't let this make me forget to brush me teeth.
Why brush em? There are infinite teeth out there for you to harvest. And they are all already yours! Quick, go get em before another you gets the same idea before you. Shit, the infinite me's who are 15 minutes ahead of me told the infinite you's the idea about 15 minutes ago. Get the pliers, they're on their way.
Yargh! Don't forget the rum also matey!
@fuffoon: UY SCUTI- Am I a joke to you??? LOL.
@@ICreatedU1 that was a truly life changing comment to read
@@SuperD00D .. . . ..
"Even the smallest acts of kindness can carry infinite weight..." Such a revelation after hearing all the potentially infinite suffering, potential infinite happiness also co-exists. What a truly mind boggling life, how fortunate we are to be able to ponder and explore such things.
I was thinking just the same, kudos for that deep thought!!!
Well said!
Imagine how lucky we are to have in our body mechanisms that can translate electromagnetic waves with different frequencies and wave lengths into colors to see our ironically beautiful colorless universe, acoustic waves into vibrations in the eardrum that our brain translates into sounds something which doesn't even exist in the world but was defined by humans, a huge system that covers every millimeter in our body and responds to internal and external forces by sending electric signals to our brain, and of course amazingly complicated connections between neurons that create an enormous structure of information stored in an unbelievably small place. After all this, it feels wrong to call even the stupidest person in the world, stupid.
Yeah some people can make a cabbage sound like a golden hens egg take a bite it's still a cabbage. Or you can paint reality into whatever perception you want but reality doesn't give a fuck
@@devrimkay1636 completely agree Kay! This homey talking about "infinite happiness" LMAO its a very child-like view of the world.
Easily the best piece of science communication I’ve ever seen. I used to be an entertainment science communicator as well at one point, primarily focusing on astrophysics and astronomy, and this is easily the best I’ve ever seen. The way you broke down and explained some of the most difficult concepts out there is nothing short of amazing.
I have long been a fan of science channels on youtube, but only recently found yours. I can honestly say this is the first time the true depth of the complete absurdity of different infinities hit so hard. I actually kind of get it now, the stories of philosophers and mathematicians being terrified of the idea of infinity and going insane from the obsession of over it. not that crazy after all
I've never felt so touched and at the same time uncomfortable. The las part of this video is a true masterpiece and this is the type of content all of us should appreciate. Thank you so much.
Who is the guy that talks at the end
@@Pakopako2280 Charles Bukowski
I would imagine that your discomfort comes from the contrary of your beliefs. Such as in a god. We are raised to think that we will go to heaven or hell. But the reality is the reality.
With all due respect, that's your opinion 👌 BUD
@@charlesrosaly I'm a Scientologist and L Ron Hubbard is our GOD and your GOD and will lead us to infinity ♾️
Anyone else watch it 3 times? There's so much knowledge in Cool Worlds videos I often find myself having to watch them multiple times to make SURE I understood it. Journey to the End of the Universe was the first video I ever watched of Cool Worlds a couple years ago... still amazing! Best space education channel on YT!
Honest commentary certainly reflecting my humble experience. My vastly more intelligent wife agrees.
I saw this video infinitely many times...
i am still perpetually watching this video - somewhere........
It’s 0620 Monday morning and I made the mistake of starting to watch this. I wish I were smart enough to understand 50% of all he is saying. (Change that to 10%) gotta watch this many more times!
I made this comment instead of you in a different bubble-universe.
Explained far better and more interestingly than 99% of similar videos out there. Bravo sir 👏
The most quality Astrophysics videos ever with so much depth and intellect..! Thanks, Dr. Kipping and Prof Colin for such out-of-the-world content...!
Have you seen SEA ?
Sea and this guys are the best astronomy video makers rn@@endoftimemurdashewrote8979
I am simply at a loss for words. Probably the best video on this platform. Thank you for the hard work and always inspiring me with wonder.
This one is my second favorite. The first being his "Journey to the end of the Universe". It's brain breakingly beautiful.
@@gyromurphy where is the link to that video ?
Yea this video is crazy. Kinda comforting knowing the universe is likely infinite
Simply some of the best science communication I've ever seen. Bravo and thank you for all of the hard work that goes into each of your videos. ❤
No one has yet addressed one problem. Infinite versions of me, down to the last atom, but I (my consciousness) only exists in this body. Those are the perfect copies of myself, and yet, different consciousness than mine. It does not add up. Should be the same consciousness
WHAT a video. Wow I am absolutely stunned at how thoughtfully written and presented this is. Bravo 👏
From looking through a 29 inch reflector telescope in 1984 and seeing the veil nebula for the first time, I’ve always wondered whether or not the universe is infinite. Infinity of space holds my interest more than anything else.
Is the universe all the matter that exists, or the space that the matter exists in? If it is the former, and the galaxies and nebulae are moving away from each other, maybe it is the outward motion or expansion of matter that is infinite. Space then is absolutely nothing and the 'universe' only exists as long as matter itself exists.
@@stevenbrooks3573hmmmmm, good POV
I believe the astronomers/scientists say it"s +/- 13 Billion light years...Who knows if it has a end point or is infinite.
I mean our minds literally can't comprehend infinity. If the universe isnt infinite what's there gonna be a wall you can't cross at some point?
@@nickhayden2299no
The last few minutes was a deluge of feels that I was not ready for. So profoundly beautiful. I hope somewhere, in another universe, they managed to revive my father and he could have grown old and met his grandchildren.
I wish your dad is alive and well in another universe. I love to think there is a multiverse in which my father is alive and well too. Ever since he died, something inside that 9-year-old, bright, leader, happy kid... just broke.
Feel the same for my mother, and your father
Same for me
Maybe our universe is so big and in it's border could starts other paralel ones maybe I don't think it could have limits
I feel you brother...
27:30 was absolutely heart-wrenching bro
Mate, once again you have absolutely blown my mind. I’m still working through the relationship between pure science and meaning. Somewhere I’ve seen a theologian speak of science and philosophy as a complimentary set of concepts. You have brought these 2 so brilliantly in this video. Your emphasis on kindness and compassion oin your closing remarks were really inspiring and resonated with the way I feel about the world. Keep up the good work!
It’s not That deep lol
This was the coolest, and most thought-provoking video on space I have ever seen! Well done!
Why provoking ?
@@orchidahussuhadihcro9862 "Thought provoking", not just provoking. I left off the hyphen... Thought-provoking: stimulating careful consideration or attention
This professor is a philosopher trapped in the body of an astronomer. xD
@@MasterWright you mean fascinating
@@standardecover7041 that too.
The last 3 minutes of this video brought me to tears These are the kinds of videos I truly appreciate on youtube Educational, thought provoking and emotional
I feel the same way. I love these videos. Absolutely stunning.
Same. Beautifully produced 👏
absolutely
❤️❤️❤️

Watching this again after two years. Dr Kippings videos have excellent replay value. Always understand things better if you watch a couple times.
Damn, I love your videos. You capture the sense of awe & wonder that keeps me glued to the screen. I can't stop watching your vids in the middle
28.55 sums it perfectly , accept defeat in trying to understand everything and make the most of the life you have in this world, which is temporary
Maybe for you, mortal.
Even in futility, defeat should never be accepted and we should always keep trying.
@@Travis_22 every body is!
@@rotshepherd3817 there are those with wisdom and those with little or none of it.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” "H.P. Lovecraft"
Terrifying words, perfectly written by a great mind.
The call of Cthulhu Excellent story
I like that, very much.
That's why there is bliss in ignorance! 🤔
I went mad, because my mind is able to comprehend the infinite madness of the universe and the human species.
Thank you for your work! This is both interesting and inspiring
Professor Kipping, this may be my 10th or 12th time through this one. You guys have so many that are that good. Ever since I've been a little under the weather I'm spending a lot more time talking to my cat and watching these videos. So thanks for helping me heal.
At the end of every Cool Worlds video, I take a long deep breath and try comprehending our existence, place and future in the universe. Very deep and thought provoking videos. The more I learn from this channel, the more I learn what I, and most people on this tiny speck of dust and water in this vast universe don't know. Marvelously great content. ❤️❤️
We are simply animals on this planet. No higher purpose we are simply curious. Much like cats 😁
I take solace in knowing my student loans are actually paid off in a far away universe (tear rolling down cheek)
😂🤣
Indeed. (High fives myself in a parallel universe)
Amazing response
😂
dang boy!!!😂
This kind of video brings so many feelings i cant explain.. and proove me that i dont need to understand. Being alive and feeling is enought. thank you so much for sharing such meaningful thinking.
not sure how I landed on one of your videos but I am hooked. if more educators in the sciences were as impressionable as you, We'd see a wave of new generation scientists. Thank you!
I'm really beginning to feel this is the best channel on the whole of KZhead...bravo
yeah it’s pretty freakin good
I have always known it is
Definitely top 5
I almost wrote the same thing right now but i thought it sounded cheesy. So i deleted the comment..... Nice to see other ppl with the same opinion though:)
You're right! Dr. Kipping is in a class all by himself. See his video on time travel. I have watched it dozens of times!
Admittedly, I'm at a place in my life where I'm very susceptible to emotional things, but either way, this was a very moving video, especially the way you concluded it. I couldn't agree more about finding meaning close to home, in the world and people around you.
Your videos blow my mind on a level which frightens but yet absolutely thrills me. They keep me grounded from the insanity of this world that threatens to depress me on a daily basis. Thank you for these informative and beautifully produced and easily understood videos.
Incredibly beautiful presentation… thank you for this. ❤
Your voice draws a person in when you explain things, you have a way of explaining such complex thing in a way that means I almost believe I understand it, whilst creating so many new questions in my mind. Simply the best channel on KZhead. :-)
This is the most broken down, yet unsolved video of the universe I have ever seen man. The last few minutes left chills in me. Y'all keep up the great work 🙏🏽🔥🔥❤️
Excellent video, sir! Thank you for making this.
This gave me goose bumps and made the hairs on my arms stand up. Prof Kipping your communication skills are right up there with Sagan.
Thank you really for making these and keep up the great work.
Your videos give me reason to be humble, to be kind, to be patient, to try & treat people as they would like to be treated. Amazing work!
Cool Worlds is a unique mix of solid science and existentialism, I can't get enough of this channel.
The way Prof. moves from objectivity of science to the deep philosophical questions attached with space discovery is just seamless, and just shows the balance one needs to strike between objectivity and subjectivity. Without losing the magic of the universe and without making the errors of religion, he amazingly brings out the spiritual journey that he himself has been through, so that we can be through it as well.
I lost my Husband of 33 years in March, and oh how I've wondered; 'What if we'd gotten to the Hospital sooner?' -It made me feel slightly less devastated when he spoke of those infinite others that are the same!
Peace
I hope you see your husband again 😌
Yes. Some comfort
I'm so glad I found this channel. Every video is packed with so much information and provoking thoughts that I can watch the same video several times and each time I would discover new things and have another epiphany.
no words other than thank you for this video. please keep going!
One of, if not the, best channel on KZhead. Thank you.
There is something so comforting thinking about an infinity of me's watching this video and thinking about each other for the first time, be well brothers!!
Coolworlds I subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago and I have been watching almost your entire library of videos, they are absolutely amazing, space is a fascinating subject that I've been interested in but thought myself to thick to understand it all, your videos have made it easier to help me understand it better, please never stop you are such an inspiration. Thank you.
Bravo!!!!!!! Cool Words! Thank you for making these great videos, giving me a better understanding of the cosmos. I love your aggressive scientific approach you take and teach. Thank you for putting all this info. Into a terms that i can understand completely.
Fantastic job. The last part was mind blowing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You are like the Carl Sagan of KZhead era... Man the way you present this blows my mind
I've seen most of the videos on this channel but this one made me subscribe. Thank you for being awesome and for sharing your work with us.
A 30 minute video that felt like an hour. Cool Worlds touches on the variations of reality that I've tried to consider. Thanks for trying to take those those thoughts further.
I did not expect to be so touched by the end of this video. Good job.
I've been around this subject of infinity and the multiverses (local or temporal). The concept that everything that may happen happens an infinite amount of times through infinity isn't new for me. That been said... One and an half year ago, my 8 months old daughter choke with a piece of toy. When she was turning blue and passing out I did what was like impossible, I grabbed it with the tip of my fingers through her tiny mouth and throat and pulled it out. I hurt her so much that my wife and I had to take her to the hospital right after. My baby took a week to fully recover. But something was off. When everything was in the balance, I felt like chance did it. It was highly improbable. It just happened independent of anything. I had many nightmares after that of me living my life after this event gone wrong. I even had a nightmare about a funeral, and that frightened me the most. It's like that in many other probable universes the outcome was definitively bad. How lucky am I to exist in one of many universes where I can see my daughter grow up? So in this infinite fractal of chaos, I'm the luckiest man there is. :) Be grateful for what you have, an infinite many others of you may didn't get that chance.
That is a fallacy
@@roseroselyne9045 Care to elaborate?
@@marcelosinicoIgnore that weirdo - It's totally normal and expected to have horrible nightmares after a traumatic event like that, so don't overthink it. I'm sorry you had to go through that, but your daughter will be able to tell the story of how her dad saved her for many years to come.
That’s really impressive. I’m glad your daughter is okay👍
Me: Yay! Cool Worlds uploaded a new video. Me after watching the video: Who am I.
that is like every video xD
Who are you, you, you, you, you......?
When I clicked this video, I was expecting a ride across the universe. Instead, I got a ride aboard an emotional rollercoaster. Brilliant writing!
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you !! 👏
I love how well thought out and executed every video on this channel is. This is quality content. What a great ending to a great video. Well done, as always.
Great video. This and The Exoplanets Channel are the *_best_* channels on KZhead.
Agreed! Event horizon is a really good channel too.
And Leo restoring the Talley Ho
And SEA
What they called? Ye, event horizon is great
Can’t wait to see what this new telescope captures!
This is the most philosophically beautiful, heartfelt, and inspirational video I have ever seen on dividing by zero. I LOVE IT, THANKS. ~Peace
I do not recommend many videos, but this video will be a must view to the people I know. So well done. Thank you
This was absolutely beautiful, especially the philosophical pondering at the end @CoolWorlds. AND love your calm and soothing voice.
I knew there was a reason I loved this channel…… top deep stuff, not just scientific, but mind boggling and very very thought provoking.
These videos are exceptionally well-made. They have a very somber nature. They are very nice to watch and listen to.
Thank you for such a beautiful and thought-provoking video
I love ALL your videos. Your explanations are extremely good in that anyone can understand the complex concepts and phenomenon you're covering. Thank you
I always come back to these videos when I’m overwhelmed with anxiety or stress or anything similar because David’s voice combined with the delivery and quality of the info is an incredibly relaxing combo
Thank you for creating this very informative video. I am obsessed with theorizing about what the universe could look like from the outside (if it wasn’t infinite).
Found you through Lex’s podcast. Glad I did! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I forget the exact quote or who said it, but it goes along the lines of: "True art forces the mind into unique and unexpected directions." By that definition, what you have created with this video is one of the purest pieces of art I've yet to experience. Simultaneously hopeful, wonderous, nihilistic, and distinctly unsettling, all at the same time.
I love how this channel always leaves me with more question than answers, the shape of the universe could be something we never understand and it's nice to have some mystery left, I've always thought of it as a spherical, if the universe was born from the big bang and we use points of references we can visualize from things here on earth like nuclear explosions then my small mind would expect that the same governing laws of physics to in turn relate itself to the shape of the universe going outward in all directions and then I watch something like this and I'm back to square one having no actual clue about whats going on and being snapped back to reality of bills work and life, I thank you for your channel and the respite I get from the daily grind, even if I may never understand it all, the daydreams I engage in afterwards are a little piece of happy you bring me with each video, keep up the great work!
I loved watching this, well done. More people should think about how vast just in are little conner is. Keeps you a humb, thin, appreciate life also inspiring.
What a life lesson I’ve learned. Thank you so much.
I've said this before on your videos but...... You are the best channel on KZhead. You can tell in your voice how much you try and get through to the viewer and care about learning how everything works or why it is what it is. You have a way of getting through and grabbing the viewer with your voice. I truly enjoy watching this channel in my free time more than or any other channel or program. Thank you for taking the time to make and explain these for someone like me to watch and learn also.
This got so incredibly philosophical, I wasn't prepared
In many things spoken here an if could make change most of todays physics.
I love the message you present. Thank you.
I’ve searched for this video for over a year. Finally! It’s just as good as I remembered.
I always love your videos. The way you consider all possibilities and are very scientific without bias as to how you reach your conclusions never ceases to impress me.
I love the clips of various movies and animations you showed. They complemented your essay superbly. Thanks for the content!
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your explanations and your logical breakdowns. You really help break complex things down into their individual, understandable parts and then help put the larger topic into a digestible context. It's also incredible to me just how much philosophy and astronomy overlap! Though, I will say my brain started twitching when I tried to start imagining a 3-torus cylinder.....
The end of this video, the way you said that last statement, it was beautiful.
"Humanity has had to swallow another great demotion". This statement is an idea that everyone needs to be comfortable thinking about and understanding. Deeply profound, thank you for putting the idea into these words. Subscribed.
A delicate balance between that concept and not falling into nihilism.
Just brilliant. Thank you for those beautiful thoughts.
Your explanation of this science is pure poetry. Bravo! Love the Charles Bukowski quote at the very end.
In the evening when I am watching your videos, I have to go outside and look up. The unknown up there is mind-blowing. Thank you for the content that exercises the imagination.
Thank you for another great video, Dr. Kipping!
Unbelievable how little subs you have. Best content on this site.
Thanks Zane!
A third of a million is pretty good
@@callumbush1 multiplied by infinity
it's not the number, it's the individual
I've been wanting to watch precisely this video. Thank you wonderful person for making it possible.
Man this kind of video makes me think a lot abour everything.... Kudos
This is existential poetry. Very, very well done.
I'm extremely happy i found your channel. Thank you for these! They're fascinating and so well put together.
This video, which I watched for the third time, illustrates that a branch of our knowledge which is complex and difficult, is actually far complexer and difficulter than I had imagined.
I never thought an astrophysics channel can make me end up in tears. More than once. This channel is gold!
not since Sagan have I been so impressed and moved. the combination of science, compassion, and metaphysics you exhibited is profound. I saw you in several TV shows. I had no idea you were capable of this! what a discovery. thank you so much. I'll be on the lookout from now on.
Me too❤️
I agree. Professor Kipping is the next Carl Sagan, so thought provoking.
Truly mesmerizing, so much research work beautifully pieced together
This is perhaps the most moving physics video I have ever seen. The fundamental message that comes out of this video has nothing to do with physics. Take care of your loved ones. Be kind to other people. Take your head from out of the clouds and focus on whats really important. Your loved ones. Beautiful video.
Some people have existentialism....this gives me hope, and fills me with curiosity. Thank you ❤
The clarity and calmness of your annunciation deserves recognition and a bigger platform. Your voice is an amazing tool and I’m pleased we get to hear it.
