It's so hard to put into words not only the massively complicated (and in some cases literally inconceivable!) subject matter that you do in such an accessible way, but that you ALSO do so in a manner that consistently serves to inspire hope for humankind and gratitude for lessons we've learned--even those with high cost. Thank you.
I don't think I have mentioned this before but thanks for speaking in a rhythm and a tempo relatively moderate with some dynamics. You earn every dime they are paying you to narrate this series. Everything seems to be presented these days at 100mph for fear of losing the viewers with no attention span. Excellent work my friend.
Agreed. It's the perfect voice for bedtime tv
Yes! A very effective and pleasant way to take in information.
And it helps me to fall asleep
👌👌👌
...not to mention that robovoices. I can't bring myself to watch/listen to that stuff.
Not being a particle physicist, I will have to watch this over a good few times before I'm confident to make comment without feeling realy dumb. 😂 I enjoyed it very much for my own sake and you have given me a couple of ladies to research for my 8 yr old granddaugther who wants to be a scientist. 👍
They are great role models!
You then leave your granddaughter a legacy twofold. Live long and prosper.
No need to feel dumb, especially considering there are those who would deny all of this in favor of the idea that most of science is false knowledge. This is not a small number of people, so at least you are leagues above them.
I'm wondering if the strong nuclear force broke away causing inflation because there was no actual mass at that point, then the Higgs field came about and stopped or massively slowed down inflation incredibly quickly because now all the energy used by the inflatron was being inserted into the universe using the Higgs Field to create mass, which instantaneously slowed down space that was expanding faster than light because spacetime now contained actual mass that gravity acted on and was pulling space back. Then as spacetime expands further and further and the universe cools, there is enough empty space to speed up expansion again and the space to matter ratio increased enough for the higgs field, matter and gravity to stop slowing it down as much. Or space is negative matter and therefore always pushes away the opposite of gravity. Or the super hot plasma and energy at the beginning pushed actual spacetime outwards until it cooled and couldn't push outwards anymore, describing inflation, then later empty space is dark energy as negative gravity and that's why you get the filaments, gravity pulling matter in and empty space pushing it out. Or.... I need to go to bed for a few years and think about what I said without any physics or mathematical knowledge, trying to pretend I understand anything about this amazing awe-inspiring universe we are blessed to live in!
@@jamieclarke2694 Einstein said famously "there's two miracles, the universe and the fact that we can even start to understand it" probably a paraphrase for his actual quote but you get the jist
“The fundamental laws and the existence of matter truly arise from cracks in perfection.” Such beautiful words for a philosophy of everything.
Love how you tell the history of the universe. We are like a child listening to our father telling us good stories before we go to sleep.
Hey Erick, that is just a very nice thought. :) Hopefully "History of the Universe" is a little more grounded in reality. :) Peace.
Yes I like to watch these at night 😭

@@billc.4584 What do you mean?
I think “efficiency”, not “laziness”, is the universal way. ❤
The universe does not waste energy. Whatever the universe happens to be doing is by definition the most efficient. This narrator brings in lots of anthropomorphisms to make it more exciting and relatable and "mysterious".

Watching these videos has become a daily habit. Learning more and more about the universe, and physics in an exciting way. Thanks so much for bringing these to us.
Words can barely describe how incredible your videos are. I am so glad I found this channel.
So excited, we get another phenomenal science video. These videos are like a lullabies for adults who crave knowledge of the universe. Thank you so much for doing these!
lol I actually do use them at bedtime to help me fall asleep. My dreams are usually of space and quantum stuff
Very well said.
@@369Sigma me too. Only it can take me weeks sometime to watch a whole video as I keep falling asleep and missing the end, no matter where I start.
I also use his videos to fall asleep. I live in a noisy neighbourhood.
Same. I have to calm down my ADHS brain to fall asleep, which works best with videos about cosmology and physics for some reason.
You make the absolute best videos on KZhead for this subject hands down! Your work is very appreciated and I can't get enough of your videos! Keep it up you have many fans!
I always enjoy getting to the part(s) where you use *that* music: 10:46

“Nature is lazy” is my fav quote from this video and such a succinct way to explain symmetry
The best current physics prose by far, professionally narrated and presented. Top quality stuff!
_"prose"_ is the correct word. It's more poetry than actual science.
@@THE-X-Force what do you propose is the "actual science" then.
Your videos are really great, extremely educational AND entertaining. Presented in a very pleasant narrative and voice, paired with great visuals. One of my favourite YT channels, thank you very much for your work and for sharing it with us.
I recently bought my first house and played all your videos while I painted the rooms and did some minor repair over the course of two months before fully moving in. Your videos are the best and are now forever part of my memory of my new home. I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved away. This video is so fitting for me to finally have made a comment with a Hawaiian name given to the super cluster. Thank you.
I listen to these videos practically every day, I want the information to seep into my mind over time. Im always super excited when a new one drops. Thanks so much guys, your work is amazing
I do that too....I'm not alone in this.....thanks!
Forget the videos. You won't understand any of this without grinding through and understanding the mathematics.
@@jimjones8736 Take the simple thing of mechanics. You cannot understand Lagrangians without basic calculus and the notion of conservation, or to put it another way, you cannot get something for nothing. And the animations in this video is clearly for entertainment rather than true understanding.
@@TomJones-tx7pb Yup. Are you a relative of mine?😀
Incredible just how many different interesting physic concepts you can touch in one video. It isn't too heavy on technical explanations but perfect to awaken the interest of young, curious minds. Great channel!
I have watched most of these videos in total fascination and awe of the intellects that are unraveling these mysteries. I don’t understand alot of this one but the graphics are incredibly fun to watch. At 70 years old I don’t have alot more time to see what answers new science reveals. What a long strange trip its been!
This is so good! Your storytelling ability is incredibly engaging and the images you use are great. Thankyou for continuity delight!
YOU ARE FREAKING AMAZING Keep it up these are the best physics videos/ documentaries I have EVER seen. The way you dive into deep topics that no one else dares to explain, but yet you explain in a very simple and appealing way… I have no words to say, you are just AMAZING!❤
The only reason “you are freaking amazing” is because of God - and all you show of any marvel here is ONLY because you point at what is His and seemingly think this makes it somehow yours!?!

Yes I am interested but skeptical
You're writing and the way you tell the story and explains the science, is some of the best I've ever seen/heard.
Your videos hit the perfect balance of content being interesting and your voice being soothing. I put them on everyday before I go to bed. I get to listen to some fascinating stuff before I drift off to sleep around the halfway mark.
YES. Another video. I can't sleep at night without these videos.
Same! It's so peacefull!!!
I’m thankful for this channel and these amazing videos! Thank you HOTU crew for all you do! Happy Thanksgiving!
Just found this channel and it is intensely interesting and informative. I knew nothing about sonar and had no idea sound could be so powerful! I would like to know more about this subject.
This is what the internet should be, a modern day Library of Alexandria, full of all the fascination and creativity nature holds for us to explore. I have faith we will ultimately rise to understand how important it is for humans to have an open knowledge source accessible to everyone without tracking, surveillance or ads...or any ulterior motive.
Awesome video! Perfectly explained I've watched hundreds upon hundreds of these kinds of videos and this was definitely one of the best
Thanksgiving came early, new video release! These are very well done I really appreciate the hard work that you and group you work with put together!
Enjoy the early feast!

Been watching your videos for a while. This is as good (if not better) than documentries out there. I feel like documentaries dumb down stuff for the audience and add in human drama just to keep the interest. This video is less than an hour and still more enriching than a lot of the documentaries out there on streaming services or tv.
My good sir, thank you for putting out Emmy’s name. If only more scientists or brainy nerds would give her and other unknown men and women of our collective understanding of how “this” all works. Thank you again!!
Don’t forget Polly! Polly Nomial.
Eh, she was a jew who was lionized by another jew. As soon as I heard that Einstein raved about her as the greatest female mathematician, I said "hmm, gonna check her wiki, I bet she's a jew". Eventually you realize they reserve their praise and recognition for one another, and withold it from people not within the tribe. It gets tiresome quickly.

These episodes are sheer joy and wonder.These are the things we as the human race should ponder to an understanding.
This is one of the few creators I instantly click on when I see a new upload. I've watched all of their videos multiple times and every single one has excellent quality. It's great to listen to before bed while contemplating existence as well.

One of my favorite channels on youtube. i love it because i dont even need to watch the video to understand it. it explains things with my level of understanding i can just close my eyes and listen to it
I'm really enjoying this series, thank you. It really demonstrates how science is just a giant rabbit hole were every answer to every question leads to another question.
So awesome. Excellent introduction on the symmetry of the Universe. Very well produced indeed. I definitely learned a few things. Thanks.
i love that macro symmetry and our entire concept of beauty and value, which sculpt both the universe at large and our experience of it, are just emergent properties of the micro symmetry that shape the physical laws that govern micro AND macro, with grand structures mirroring the small in so many ways. symmetry’s fundamental nature and the properties of emergence are so elegant it blows my mind.
I've followed a lot of science channels but this video made me understand de fundamental role of symmetry in our current theories. Thanks so much, I'll be staying up all night thinking about how such a tiny asymmetry can still reflect a deeper symmetry 😅 but yeah honestly, thank you so much for this one, awesome work
The spin parity of neutrinos has got to be one of the wildest properties of the universe (thus far) So many brilliant minds over the centuries have had their work and equations funneled down into a single drop to try to get us to the next stage of discovery. Truly amazing.
The β-decay of Cobalt-60 breaks parity, enabling a common reference for chirality, doesn't it?
You are responsable for most of my peacefull nights of sleep. You made a positive change in my life like you have no idea. Each night I put one of your videos. But not always from the begining. I always start from where I dose off, so I get to listen to all of it
I love this channel. It simply explains complex stuff without complicating. And the format of documentary catches the audience easily.
Your contribution to history or more importantly human consciousness is incredible, if it resonates with only 1 person its enough. “Life” is so incredibly complex and wonderful and sad and bland and annoying and chaotic and hectic and morbid and beautiful.
This vid is so amazing that I'm only 1/3rd of the way into it and I've subscribed to this channel so hard. Looking forward to many more.
This helps reduce my anxiety and helps me sleep while still taking in this amazing information thank you for the amazing content, from Scotland ❤️
Hey man, just discovered your channel. Great video, I'm not a scientific person, but your visuals made me understand it well
First time watching your channel. The quality of your documentaries are unparalleled. Subscribed immediately. Thank you!
I appreciate the human emphasis you put on the contributions of physics' more unsung heroes. I never knew about Galois, these obscure stories are what initially drew me to physics not the math lol. I'm a writer and like all story-tellers, I want to live forever through my stories but I find myself wishing more and more I was a physicist instead. The universe doesn't care about your though process, what makes sense to you or your world view/beliefs, it is what it is and it rewards those who look deeper and ask it questions, regardless who they are or where they are from. Its sad Noether, Wu and so many others never got the recognition (Nobel's) they deserved. But, I also think its beautiful that even without a Nobel when we talk of symmetries and forces with our new alien friends its the likes of Noether, Wu and their work that will be humanities ambassadors, why? Because the universe truly is symmetric where as our ideals might fall short. If you find an underlying truth about reality the universe itself will reward your efforts and deepen your understanding for it even if it takes the rest of the world while to catch up with you (think of Pauli, "I have done a terrible thing, postulated a particle that cannot be detected.) So thank you, truly your content is special! nothing else like it wish you and your team all the best you guys genuinely make KZhead better just by existing. Understanding how and why a conclusion was reached is equally important as that conclusion so again, Thanks guys for making me fall in love with the stories behind the numbers. Without them they'd just be some quirky numbers scientists are fussy about and i probably wouldn't care.
I'm sure you are doing just as great and impactful a labor as the writers and story-tellers behind this video. It's just as you say; who cares about fussy scientists bickering about quirky numbers in journals stocked to the brim with academic jargon? The answer, of course, is that these are the closest things to objective truths we can arrive at in the field of natural philosophy. Group theory, among the likes of Darwin's theory of evolution, was one of many pivotal innovations in mathematical thinking which underpinned the rocket-launch of natural philosophy into the modern world from the stone and bronze ages of Platonic theory and Aristotelian discourse. I'm sure Pythagoras would've been among the bustling crowd ecstatic to witness the spectacle of the 3,000 ton controlled explosion that was the scientific revolution and it's now precipitously accelerating payload. Meta-mathematics is probably a better descriptor for it, because the definition of the conservation of momentum being mutually inter-dependent on the concept of translational symmetry indicates the connectivity and ubiquitous nature of the fundamental laws of physics; the language which describes each law is bound by logical axioms and rules which produce repeatable and universally consistent results, an artifact present in equal parts in the smallest part as much as the largest one. Whoever looks deeper and asks it questions, the universe rewards, even the hesitant and critical Pauli! Thanks for reading.
Well said!👍🏻
I so appreciate this channel and comments (exchanges) such as both of yours. I wish that I had become a physicist to better understand "all of this". Such a fascinating universe.
Well put !
It is not the stories you write, it is how people interpret them that matters. If nobody understands the message it may as well be left unsaid.
Just a minor correction of detail. The verse at 37:53 is from John 1:1 not Genesis 1:1. Great video! You always have such great content!
The irony lol science and religion...
Thank you for this video. Got me thinking about some things not related but comparable. You do a great service!
When a video like this gets over 100k views in a few days, it's one of the few reminders I have that there are actually large numbers of curious, intelligent people in the world who enjoy learning and growing. Everybody I know 'believes' things, and seems to find 'reason' distasteful, if not downright offensive. So to my fellow viewers, thanks for existing, i guess... Stay curious! 🙏
I say this every video, but I love this content and I adore the narration and editing in these. ♥️👌
Thank you! This was amazing to watch. Loved everything 🥭
One of the hidden secrets of the universe is put the toilet paper on backwards if you own a cat.
I absolutely love your videos! easily one of the best channels on youtube... its only a matter of time before your subscribers are in the millions. excellent work as usual.
Get a Life.Idiot.
I always wondered, what would have Galois found had he lived past his 21 years. Its baffling to me, at 30 years old, hearing of someone who lived way less than me, and yet in that short time, he brought so much to maths and science. His early passing is truly a loss for us all.
What an incredible channel.. maybe the best astronomy channel, and that is really saying something with SEA and Cool Worlds out there
these videos are magical. i listen to it at work. and i listen to them at night when i dont sleep.
Yet another masterful presentation. Informational narration, stunning images and a soundtrack that enhances rather than intruding. Thanks for uploading!
Simply the best channel on KZhead and Internet. I discovered the channel months ago by accident and I became addicted to its content. Thank you so much for this brilliant work combining history and science. The animations, videos and voice over are amazing. Can't wait for more content
What are you on.
@@derkjh - I suspect there is a lot of fake/bought comments involved with this channel, tbh (?)
This video is just absolutely incredible. Great work !!!
Brilliant stuff. Love this series. Thanks a lot!
I'm not a professional physics person but I am quite unsure of how or, more precisely, where exactly matter and anti-matter meet if they cancel each other out instantaneously? At any rate, great video as always.
I don't understand the question, maybe... They meet if they are pushed into each other. This doesn't appear to happen anywhere except where we do it on purpose, because there's no antimatter - at least, that we see.
What an incredibly intelligent review of where physics stands today. Thank you Geraint for educating me further and provoking the right thoughts about the direction of today's physics theory.
Usually I watch this channel when I'm falling asleep. I'm watching this during the day and I'm glad I did. Very educational!
Absolutely wonderful. Great graphics too. Thank you very much!
As soon as the separation of forces were mentioned as having happened at distinct times, I wondered if and when they could separate further. It's hard to imagine what the consequences of that might be.
They seperated at specific energy levels. Parts of the universe are now at the lowest possible energy, which means the floor has been reached. There are no unexplored lower energy levels for the forces to seperate out any further at.
@@vhawk1951kl To be honest and fair, I'm just another credulous halfwit. You know what? I was just thinking about that today. I imagine I'm somewhat credulous because of some psychological thing. So I suppose it's environmentally based but that's pure speculation.

you seriously like things before trying them? That is so fucking wrong...
its always been "the darkest times we've had to navigate" since humans began conciousness, i reckon.
Inspirational programs for all humanity to give hope in a world bereft of true education.
Thank you, this was so clearly and beautifully explained.
The intro to this video is a masterpiece. So many ideas amd emotions packed into 3 minutes.
This is exactly what my mind craves, and you guys are doing it beautifully, I need more
These are absolutely the best videos for this material I have ever seen. How do I help promote end encourage you and your developers to keep making these video. The explanations and details are outstanding. Just great work!!!
In reality, they would've noticed the problem as the exhaust plumes from their deceleration engines started mutually annihilating upon contact with each other, before they got anywhere near close enough to touch. Still, another excellent video. The discussion of magnetic monopoles puzzles me. I'm not sure why some physicists say they should exist, since it's already well-established that magnetic fields are generated by the _movement_ of electric charges. A monopolar field would require a static buildup of some kind of charge, in this case an electrical charge, and static charges are by definition _not_ moving.
Idk if they'd notice because of the excitement and/or pressure, but it definitely would be visible, yeah. They also probably wouldn't just disappear, just ruin their space suits and maybe their hands (or whatever the alien would use to touch)
@@FeeshUnofficial Matter Anti-matter reactions are one of the most energetic ones in the known universe pound for pound, its not that they disappeared, its more likely the pair of astronauts blew up. Which is why testing whether your counter parts are anti-matter by blowing smoke at them is a bit unsafe.
i started with this video going to binge watch all ur content from the start thank u sir u are amazing
One of the best channels ever created. I only selfishly & greedily wish there were more episodes for me to consume

This is precious. I love it. Absolutely amazing content
This channel deserves to have 100mil subs
take a shot every time he says symmetry
Still a good video though
Excellent presentation... In particular, your description of Emmy Noether's contribution was perfect... It is a shame that she died at such a young age...
Awesome video! Thank you! With a mismatch in the helicity of the (virtual) anti-neutrinos in neutrinoless double beta decays (should this decay modes exist), I believe that for certain proposed mechanisms you could distiguish between electron and positron one one side and anti-electron and anti-positron on the other side. Because electrons have mass, helicity is not the same as chirality. This would add another layer of complication in our understanding of the Universe, of particles and symmetries.
I just recently subscribed to this channel, how much time have i wasted! Amazing videos! I can't wait to see them all .
As an aspiring physicist, I have to say it's really² hard, the principle of least action is hard enough as it is but with lagrangian and hameltonian it's really a nightmare, excluding quqntum mechanics... Modern physics is already a nightmare Anyway,this channel is really helpful for those intrested in physics or aspiring physicist like me,its great explanation is really helpful instead of simply solving long equation without knowing anything the equation itself is saying,this explanation is really insightful in explaining the mathematics behind it and it helped me a lot
I don't even understand tidal effects.
@@mikefuller5577 Simply put it's push and pull due to gravity

Other than confusing Gen 1:1 with John 1:1, this video is excellent!
Yes. That gaffe really jumped out at me too... I guess I shouldn't be surprised that science-oriented KZheadrs may be unfamiliar with canonical literature of the culture they emerge from, but it does cast doubt on their interpretations of "the facts" generally...

It most likely detected us

This is so exiting and interesting video and you explain in an good way about an complex view of the universe which is so interesting and that universe is so huge that its always something too find that we don't know about
wow, this is SO indepth!! Thanks for the video!
Another great video, although I will be watching it at least once more because I'm dumb and this is going to take a bit to wrap my mind around. The idea of finding an entire civilization made of antimatter is just mind blowing. why has no one used this idea in a scifi novel or movie I just don't know, or maybe I just missed that one somehow.
It would definitely make for a good Star Trek episode!
@@Compguy321 a sane voice within the vacuum 👍
Following the "path of least resistance" or "least action", I'm curious HOW that path is determined before hand.
Maybe it doesn't know until it's observed? Maybe it's everywhere all at once and something something wave functions? Idk the stuff is confusing but this is a great question you have
Water streaming down a window runs into resistance, THEN adjusts it's path. Light doesn't seem to have to do this. Perhaps it does, but too quickly for us to observe?
This is a great video, one of the best I've seen. Thank you!
Best thing about this series? The narrator! Love his voice and articulation!👍🏻 Keep up the great work!
The best explanation so far on symmetry. Outstanding video, congrats!
There's this meme of "This isn't Sonic, this is my original character Blonic" and I couldn't help thought of that when you mentioned, squarks, selectrons, like "This isn't Quark, this is my original character from a symmetrical universe Squark"
