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.
This was my first video I've seen from you awhile back. I still come back to this every once in a while. Top 10 RUclips videos I've seen in my life as a chronic youtuber. Got your mug too :)

Don't worry, guys, we only gotta wait for about 100 million years to see exactly what the heck the great attractor is from the opposite side of the galaxy, no biggie.
Imagine what you have found out that a scientist 100 years ago, looking into a rudimentary telescope, would never dream of, and would never get to know/
But even if we get to space, we still won't be able to discover every fact, because there's always more to explore. Which is itself frustrating. And even if we became so advanced that we'd know about every scientific fact about every dimension and reality, then we'd be frustrated by the fact that there's nothing left to explore. Which is more frustrating than anything. The human mind is doomed to eternally search for something more and sulk with boredom when there's nothing left. That's why it's crucial to appreciate the things which are familiar to you, because ultimately everything becomes familiar.
I’d like to imagine that when I die that everything will be revealed to me…like God will sit me down and tell me who killed 2pac, what is the Bermuda Triangle, and what is it that women really want

This reminds me of a dream I once had when I was young. It was a long falling dream about flying along floating giants, made of stars. It made me feel very little and vulnerable and insignificant. I fell out of the galaxy, a moment later, the galaxy looked just like a star and then I saw a giant made of galaxies. I woke up because I couldn't comprehend how big it was. This image of The Great Attractor looks just like it.
This video let me think of the words of the Desiderata : "You are a child of the universe. No less than the trees and stars. You have a right to be here."
" Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears , the universe is listening to its harmonics. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence."- Alan Wilson Watts.
"See, the source of all light is in the eye. If there were no eyes in this world, the sun would not be light. You evoke light out of the universe in the same way you by virtue of having a soft skin evoke hardness out of wood. Wood is only hard in relation to a soft skin. It's your eardrum that evokes noise out of the air. You, by being this organism, call into being this whole universe of light and color and hardness and heaviness and everything." AW

I am *alone*. I am *empty*. And yet, *I fish.*
Thank you. In my experience in pop science (non-academic sources, chains of youtube videos, reddit threads) it isn't well phrased that the nature of The Great Attractor is much more well understood than it was decades ago and is still presented as an ongoing mystery where we have no idea what it could very well be and is nothing like we've ever seen. It may seem more viscerally interesting at first to believe that whatever lies beyond the zone of avoidance also lies beyond our established understanding of the universe, but you (and your collaborators and sources together) have successfully written and produced a journey where it is just as viscerally rewarding to understand what, why, and especially how we come to shine a light on previously unknown knowledge. That's great science ambassadorship.
I enjoyed how he stayed with observations and did not add wild speculations that were unnecessary and lately in the last 30 years or so, illogical speculations.
Why be scared of something that will never affect you within your lifetime, everyone in the comments here would be long gone before whatever is in the attractor will even directly interact with humans or might never at all if humans become extinct before then. Just relax, be curious, learn instead of being fearful.
The best I've seen on both Laniakea and the Great Attractor, though I'm always hopeful of something 'spooky'. But those diagrams of Laniakea and the other superclusters are some of the most beautiful and inspiring works I've ever seen. As the narrator said, that we live in an age when such is visible...hats off to the people who make this available to any who care to see.

I gotta hand it to this channel, it walks that fine line between algorithm click bait and quality content really well. Just mainstream enough for non science literate normies to find it, just niche enough to grow a community of its own.
Thank you! I will put that down to the fact that I myself started as a “non science literate normie”, so I’ve always had that kind of audience in mind!
Yeah really nothing clickbaity about this channel. All of the titles are literally just titles of the topic of the video, nothing less, nothing more. It's just proper titling lol
I´ve seen A LOT of vids on YT dealing with universe. I love astronomy but only now have discovered this marvelous channel. Absolutely incredible! This deserves millons of views!
The absolute randomness of the actual existence of humans, that is what is amazing!It shows that if you give enough time and space anything has a possibility of happening... mind blown!
It's reassuring in a way, knowing that the universes rate of expansion won't send *everything* too far away from us to observe. It's like a group of rafts on the ocean, or a campfire in an impossibly large forest.
You do the best and highest quality space videos on RUclips right now, easily. So informative and so well made. Pleas keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
The horrifying truth is the so-called Great Attractor is a celestial monster of inconceivable mass that eats entire solar systems for breakfast. It's so big that its food literally comes to it. Fortunately, the cosmic time frames involved mean we have somewhat more immediate issues to concern ourselves with, like why I always end up with one odd sock after the weekly laundry wash.
I remember listening about the great attractor on a bed radio half asleep as a teenager, it’s intrigued me ever since. It’s amazing that we can even conceive these ideas
The quality of your work never fails! You are truly amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work and time put into this channel.
Just wanted to say, I've been a fan since the GD days of this channel and i love the direction your channel is going in now. Your videos are high quality and entertaining and they are awesome. Keep it up, sea!
@Globglogabgolab 2.0 it was to finish his calc to invent the mobile particle beam. Which is how they teleport. What I'm saying is, they don't teleport.

@@williamhall6651 I can imagine it being a form of capital punishment an authoritarian regime might use but they don’t want to lose the particular skill set. A sort of warning like “I can always get someone else just like you”
Fantastic presentation. Very clearly explained with excellent visuals. This topic is such a complete and total mindfu@k to contemplate the sheer vastness of it all - its truly beyond human comprehension
If no-one has already mentioned it, kudos on your music selection throughout this brilliantly informative video. There's something about that kind of jazz which fits the subject so perfectly - like a sock to a foot - subtle & perhaps ignored by our conscious mind as we concentrate upon the mysteries of Supercluster dynamics & the ineffable qualities of Gravity itself...
Just recently found your videos after youtube recommending it. I gotta say your channel is now my fav and go to when I want to relax before bed. They're so informative, very nicely paced (not too fast, not too slow) and the editing is beautiful. I can tell that you put 100% into every single video and it really shows off. Road to 500k subs and then 1 mill, which will be easy considering how amazing your content is. Thank you creating these!
It blows my mind how unimaginably vast the universe is sometimes. Space exploration and development is one of the few things makes me excited for the future.
@@Curse_Plays nope u can't see a black hole u can see if matter of disk around it light can show so much information about whats happening but no light deflected from black hole this is why its a mystery
I just realised that it would have been possible to examine the great attractor in the age of dinosaurs, since back then Earth was on the other side of the galaxy.
The age of dinosaur was triassic (120 million years ago) to late Jurassic (60 million years ago).. Yes they have already lived in the earth more than 50 million years.. Im a geologist btw
@@69percentarabica26 You're obviously not a geologist, because if you were, you'd know the Triassic started ~250 million years ago and ended 201 million years ago, the Jurassic running from then until 145 million years ago. The Cretaceous covers the last 80 million years, ending ~66 million years ago with the K-Pg extinction.
Ice cold ❄️ love the freakin video, you always surprise me with you contents, this channel has been my resting place in this tiring world. Much love from the Philippines!
Sometimes I have to watch your videos two or more times to really comprehend what is being talked about. This is definitely one of those multiple watch videos
Images of galactic filaments and maps of our 'local' galactic cluster are probably the most awe inspiring things I've ever seen. Blows my mind!! Love it.
Looks so much like what we see in the biological World.. it is crazy, what if those big bodies in space have some form of consciousness, what if that certain structure of matter in space is also a reason for the emergence of some kind of life..
Just came across your channel last week. Ive had rough and highly unusual anxiety since the start of the pandemic...a new and shitty feeling for me. Listening to and watching your vids 1st thing in the morning out on a hike and last thing before I go to bed has helped me more than ANYTHING I've tried over the last year including prescription drugs. Thanks my dude for grounding me in the vastness of the unknown 🙏❤🌠
I just discovered your channel, via this video, this morning - clearly The Attractor attracted Great me. NEVER have I paused a video as much as this just to think. Only at 22.47 and paused to thank too. You.
I love the flow of this video, I feel like I'm going through and investigation, picking up everything there is until I come up with something that makes sense. It must have took you a long time to make this video, I assume there aren´t many channels making videos about this and explaining it to casual viewers. You're doing god's work. Keep it up!
Your work is astonishing. This whole video is just an deeply humbling experience for me. I struggle many years with depression but right now my mind is calm.
Thank you for this absolutely superb video! This was a fascinating and very clear explanation of the Great Attractor problem, which I as a complete layman in astronomy could easily follow!
There is nothing that can protect you from gravity. It is not shieldable like the electromagnetic force for example. Only with Dark Energy maybe. But we don't know anything about that yet.
I don’t think that’s true. Personally, radiation is the closest to magic. I have been having the idea that radiation is correlated with the passage of time. Since we created a time crystal by blasting metal with an insane amount of radiation, I’ve been pondering if the fact that there is an entire background of radiation in our universe and how maybe that can be associated with the passage of time somehow. What if the universe is just a massive time crystal and will eventually cycle back to the beginning and repeat itself all over again?
@@TheSCPStudio it is always "now". your ideas about light are correlative with optics. looking through universe works the same way through a phenomena called " cosmic replay ", the farther you look at an image through space the farther back in time you see in the most literal sense
How much of understanding of research over decades has gone into making this presentation. What would we lesser mortals do without your understanding of what has transpired. Thank you for the updates but I must confess one hearing does not make for understanding. But it's there and am so grateful to Sea.
This video somewhat validated me, since I had the thought all of my own accord that seemingingly everything in the universe seems to orbit something of a massive relative mass .. moons around planets, planets around stars, stars around black holes at galactic centres.. even neutrons around atomic cores seems to be a fixed pattern... So cool to see that concept validated on a greater scale ..
Stars don't really orbit the black holes at the centre of the galaxy, Black holes don't have anywhere near the mass necessary to make galaxies form, stars just orbit the centre of mass of the entire galaxy, affected by literally everything with mass in said galaxy, and that balances out over billions of years creating uniform motion in the spiral pattern you're used to seeing galaxies form. Neutrons, Electrons and protona follow a different kind of laws so they're not really that similar, but yeah, because gravity, the less dense regions of space will always be attracted to the more dense regions, leading to star formation, solar system formation, galaxy formation, cluster formation and so on, as long as gravity has enough time to reach somewhere in space, it will always cause this pattern
OK, you have a subscriber for these reasons. I've watched several of your videos. Comprehensive information, fairly quick narration, visual presentation, when it comes to music, i don't feel like I'm watching some Batman movie and finally I don't feel like a small child.
This is one of, if not, the best videos you've done because you take us on a journey of discovery. It's like a "who done it" murder mystery in space. Can you do more of this formula?
I feel I don't even watch your videos for the education, but for the peaceful atmosphere created by the ambient music, slow-paced presentation and just someone speaking quietly. In the middle of the night there is nothing to interrupt me as no one is awake. Of course, it's great to learn things as well
A truly epic piece of work! Thank you for this and explaining everything in such an easy to understand manner. Staying on my favourite list until youtube implodes.
There are ten videos on yt exclusively talking about what the great attractor is, with a combined watch time of about 160 minutes, just search "great attractor".
Magnificent, utterly brilliant! I love astronomy; between learning to play the piano during daylight (due to neiborghly consideration!) and astronomy lessons in YT at night time, I have no time to be bored... I hope to live for another 20 years, well into my 90's, such that I can explore deep space with my minds eye. Life is wonderfull, and in retrospect I can say we live in the perfect time!!

@@princeprocrastinate6485 that's my point haha, but people use these *specifically to* fall asleep to and the creator still gets the view just the same. Not to mention what I was saying was that the original comment was *meant* to be a complement which is why it was funny
Lol this is also my nightly routine. Pondering cosmic queries, made possible by sea’s great narration and editing.
Finally!!! Someone has gotten around to addressing the apparent discrepancy between constantly telling us that all galaxies are drifting away from each other, yet some areas are coming closer together. Thank you.
"There's always a bigger fish" - Qui Gon Jin
Yeah, here u have a bigger one.
Shut it
Summon bigger fish
Yes indeed
Let any fish who meets my gaze learn the true meaning of fear, for I am the harbinger of death, the bane of creatures subaqueous. My rod is true and unwavering as I cast it into the aquatic abyss. A man, scorned by this uncaring earth finds solace in the sea.
My only friend - the worm upon my hook, wriggling, writhing, struggling to surmount the pointlessness that permeates this barren world.
I am *alone*.
I am *empty*.
And yet,
*I fish.*
Thank you. In my experience in pop science (non-academic sources, chains of youtube videos, reddit threads) it isn't well phrased that the nature of The Great Attractor is much more well understood than it was decades ago and is still presented as an ongoing mystery where we have no idea what it could very well be and is nothing like we've ever seen. It may seem more viscerally interesting at first to believe that whatever lies beyond the zone of avoidance also lies beyond our established understanding of the universe, but you (and your collaborators and sources together) have successfully written and produced a journey where it is just as viscerally rewarding to understand what, why, and especially how we come to shine a light on previously unknown knowledge. That's great science ambassadorship.
Heartily endorsed.
I enjoyed how he stayed with observations and did not add wild speculations that were unnecessary and lately in the last 30 years or so, illogical speculations.
SEA always giving me feelings of existential dread while revealing the extraordinary beauty of the universe
video just gets creepier and creepier as it goes on 😨
Not really, its our home
How? It’s so cool I don’t feel creeped out at all. @SWOTHDRA
@@SWOTHDRAI don’t see how though ?/??
how insane is it
Why be scared of something that will never affect you within your lifetime, everyone in the comments here would be long gone before whatever is in the attractor will even directly interact with humans or might never at all if humans become extinct before then. Just relax, be curious, learn instead of being fearful.
SEA describes incredibly complex topics in an easy to understand manner. Bravo!
The best I've seen on both Laniakea and the Great Attractor, though I'm always hopeful of something 'spooky'. But those diagrams of Laniakea and the other superclusters are some of the most beautiful and inspiring works I've ever seen. As the narrator said, that we live in an age when such is visible...hats off to the people who make this available to any who care to see.
It's like if ants understood human civilization. We understand Laniakea
Excellent presentation, written and delivered with such clarity that even I could understand it. This is both intriguing and creepy!
well said!
Whenever I'm sad, I often listen to your videos. It both helps me gain more knowledge and helps me sleep easier in this stressful life
You are literally the best RUclipsr with the best presentation on space I have ever come across - please never give this us, your videos are the only ones I get excited to watch when I see them uploaded
Up*
Anton Petrov does a lot of good work in this subject.
@@CChissel absolutely! SEA combines entertainment with an informative approach, anton is more informative only, but by no means worse because of this
@@daWKin548 PBS Spacetime, Kosmo & Destiny are all great channels as well
I like that Anton puts out a video daily so he's the most consistent in my life out of the 5
edit SpaceRip is a great channel as well
Yea I like to watch him and I also watch cool worlds, they have a very similar style of presentation and it’s the best
Probably the greatest thing I've seen on RUclips.. I am so pleased that I watched this. More like this please.
The Virgo supercluster has always been fascinating to me. How galaxies so far apart still hold on to each other in the emptiness of intergalactic space. Your channel has been amazing and I'm inspired to create videos again sometime. Just subscribed.
LOVE ???😜
This comment just blew my mind; be easy everyone!
Thanks!
And thank you so much for your generous donation!!🙏💙
I just wanted to thank you for the high quality content you produce. I currently suffer from high levels of anxiety and your videos calm me down and also help me fall asleep at night, and off course teaches me more about astronomy which I love :) hope you continue!
Are you feeling better now?
@@p382742937423y4 yes! I am in a different place and feel much better today. And I still watch SEA :D Thank you for asking
@@VeMi1337 good to hear. Its impressive that this kind of video's helped you. Life is futile in this Grand picture, but its hard from our human perspective. I felt it many Times.
Glad you got back on your feet.
Where are you?

@@sympathy_for_strays I got the bipolar and epilepsy dlc 😂
The last two minutes of this masterpiece, with that jazz, have moved me. Thank you for this.
I gotta hand it to this channel, it walks that fine line between algorithm click bait and quality content really well. Just mainstream enough for non science literate normies to find it, just niche enough to grow a community of its own.
Thank you! I will put that down to the fact that I myself started as a “non science literate normie”, so I’ve always had that kind of audience in mind!
@@SEA and we science illiterate normies are SO very grateful for all your hard work, thank you 🙂💋
What's click-baity about this channel?
There's nothing click bait about these titles and thumbnails
Yeah really nothing clickbaity about this channel. All of the titles are literally just titles of the topic of the video, nothing less, nothing more. It's just proper titling lol
An elegant video essay on astronomy, the study that let's us guess what happens beyond death.
I've waited several years for new information on this subject. I'm so...so happy lol
Easily one of the best astronomy channels on RUclips. Always well articulated and structured. I truly appreciate your quality work. Thank you
I´ve seen A LOT of vids on YT dealing with universe. I love astronomy but only now have discovered this marvelous channel. Absolutely incredible! This deserves millons of views!
I know you likely can't read even 1% of these comments but I am truly blown away and impressed at what you do here. Phenomenal work my guy
i think he can read 37 comments.
The absolute randomness of the actual existence of humans, that is what is amazing!It shows that if you give enough time and space anything has a possibility of happening... mind blown!
What had to happen to get us here..... it’s staggering to think about.
not exactly random, the universe is to no surprise very simple in terms of the flow of information IE: the thermodynamic arrow of time
Nothing, not even humans are a chance occurrence, God does not play dice with the universe
Taradino Cassatt - wishful thinking..
@@caner78bob we exist only because the dinosaurs went extinct...
also on a side note you should take a look at the thermodynamic arrow
It's reassuring in a way, knowing that the universes rate of expansion won't send *everything* too far away from us to observe. It's like a group of rafts on the ocean, or a campfire in an impossibly large forest.
Depends on how fast the expansion gets. Could still get the big rip.
100 million years, a blink of an eye in the big scheme of things.
It's cool how huge sizes and timescales start to become small as you learn more about the universe.
Midnite - Scheme a things
You do the best and highest quality space videos on RUclips right now, easily. So informative and so well made. Pleas keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
Ah... that daily dose of existential melancholy, that gets me out of bed in the morning. x
The horrifying truth is the so-called Great Attractor is a celestial monster of inconceivable mass that eats entire solar systems for breakfast. It's so big that its food literally comes to it. Fortunately, the cosmic time frames involved mean we have somewhat more immediate issues to concern ourselves with, like why I always end up with one odd sock after the weekly laundry wash.
I’d argue that it’s the Great Attractor that keeps stealing the world’s socks.
@@78deathface I think this great big monster has a foot fetish
* concerned Lovecraftian horror noises*
Galactus cool
Solar systems???
It eats galaxies for breakfast
Awesome piece of work, from the research to the video and audio, with a solid delivery - keep it up!!
I remember listening about the great attractor on a bed radio half asleep as a teenager, it’s intrigued me ever since.
It’s amazing that we can even conceive these ideas
The quality of your work never fails! You are truly amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work and time put into this channel.
Great video!
Just wanted to say, I've been a fan since the GD days of this channel and i love the direction your channel is going in now. Your videos are high quality and entertaining and they are awesome. Keep it up, sea!
Just an astounding video. So good. The 3D graphs of the flows across the superclusters were just beautiful.

@Globglogabgolab 2.0 it was to finish his calc to invent the mobile particle beam. Which is how they teleport.
What I'm saying is, they don't teleport. They commit future seppuku, and get cloned elsewhere, sometimes just because they can. The clone walks out, entirely sure of what they were just doing, but I wouldn't get in that effing thing...
@@williamhall6651 I can imagine it being a form of capital punishment an authoritarian regime might use but they don’t want to lose the particular skill set. A sort of warning like “I can always get someone else just like you”
Moving relative to *what*, however? That's the crucial point. All motion is relative.
Fantastic presentation. Very clearly explained with excellent visuals. This topic is such a complete and total mindfu@k to contemplate the sheer vastness of it all - its truly beyond human comprehension
you calm my anxiety and nourrish my brain, thank you for all the work you put in your channel
If no-one has already mentioned it, kudos on your music selection throughout this brilliantly informative video. There's something about that kind of jazz which fits the subject so perfectly - like a sock to a foot - subtle & perhaps ignored by our conscious mind as we concentrate upon the mysteries of Supercluster dynamics & the ineffable qualities of Gravity itself...
Just recently found your videos after youtube recommending it. I gotta say your channel is now my fav and go to when I want to relax before bed. They're so informative, very nicely paced (not too fast, not too slow) and the editing is beautiful. I can tell that you put 100% into every single video and it really shows off. Road to 500k subs and then 1 mill, which will be easy considering how amazing your content is. Thank you creating these!
You gotta love these names. "The Zone of Avoidance!" Like a 16th century naval map showing where sea monsters swallows ships.
This one's my favorite. Awesome to think that something massive is dragging us and a large part of the universe towards it.
it's your mom
@@zerotwoisreal bru
This is only one connection in the web of filaments.
Fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed that.
The vastness of it all calms me, everything that's going on right now is so small in comparison.
I absolutely love how humbling these types of videos can make people it all just blows my mind
It blows my mind how unimaginably vast the universe is sometimes. Space exploration and development is one of the few things makes me excited for the future.
@TheLuftwaffle - it is the ONLY thing that makes me excited for the future 😆😄
Or feel insignificance due to its size
The fact that one of the greatest mysteries is blocked by our entire galaxy
İts mystery cuz its blocked if we could see what is happening there it wouldn't be mystery
Computer simulation
You have half a thought there. Do you have a verb to tack onto that?
@@serdarcam99 you can see a black hole ..but it's still a mystery..
@@Curse_Plays nope u can't see a black hole u can see if matter of disk around it light can show so much information about whats happening but no light deflected from black hole this is why its a mystery
The scales and timeframes are just so amazing and unimaginable.
“The end” was quite possibly the most befitting ending I have ever seen for such a masterpiece.
I just realised that it would have been possible to examine the great attractor in the age of dinosaurs, since back then Earth was on the other side of the galaxy.
Yes as earth was on the other side of the galaxy then.
The age of dinosaur was triassic (120 million years ago) to late Jurassic (60 million years ago).. Yes they have already lived in the earth more than 50 million years.. Im a geologist btw
@@69percentarabica26 You're obviously not a geologist, because if you were, you'd know the Triassic started ~250 million years ago and ended 201 million years ago, the Jurassic running from then until 145 million years ago. The Cretaceous covers the last 80 million years, ending ~66 million years ago with the K-Pg extinction.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 ouch
This guy has raptor in his name, I'll trust him when it comes to dinosaurs
Ice cold ❄️ love the freakin video, you always surprise me with you contents, this channel has been my resting place in this tiring world. Much love from the Philippines!
Sometimes I have to watch your videos two or more times to really comprehend what is being talked about. This is definitely one of those multiple watch videos
I discovered your channel two days ago, and I can't stop watching your amazing videos! You keep encouraging my interest in space.
Images of galactic filaments and maps of our 'local' galactic cluster are probably the most awe inspiring things I've ever seen. Blows my mind!! Love it.
Looks so much like what we see in the biological World.. it is crazy, what if those big bodies in space have some form of consciousness, what if that certain structure of matter in space is also a reason for the emergence of some kind of life..
Just came across your channel last week. Ive had rough and highly unusual anxiety since the start of the pandemic...a new and shitty feeling for me. Listening to and watching your vids 1st thing in the morning out on a hike and last thing before I go to bed has helped me more than ANYTHING I've tried over the last year including prescription drugs. Thanks my dude for grounding me in the vastness of the unknown 🙏❤🌠
I just discovered your channel, via this video, this morning - clearly The Attractor attracted Great me. NEVER have I paused a video as much as this just to think. Only at 22.47 and paused to thank too. You.
I love the flow of this video, I feel like I'm going through and investigation, picking up everything there is until I come up with something that makes sense. It must have took you a long time to make this video, I assume there aren´t many channels making videos about this and explaining it to casual viewers. You're doing god's work. Keep it up!
Blade fan?
@@tau3583 what or who is blade?
@@user-kd5fk7wy6r my bad your profile picture is similar to an album cover by an artist name ecco2k.
From GD to space. Truly an amazing progression SEA. Sad to sea the old videos go but im a fan of bot SEA’s. Keep it up!
Exactly what I was waiting for ages..
Finally dropped a detailed video on Laniakea
Thank you so much SEA
Your work is astonishing. This whole video is just an deeply humbling experience for me. I struggle many years with depression but right now my mind is calm.
Thank you for this absolutely superb video! This was a fascinating and very clear explanation of the Great Attractor problem, which I as a complete layman in astronomy could easily follow!
Gravity on a cosmic scale is the closest thing to magic.
There is nothing that can protect you from gravity. It is not shieldable like the electromagnetic force for example. Only with Dark Energy maybe. But we don't know anything about that yet.
@@johannageisel5390 Oh I guess planes don’t exist.
I don’t think that’s true. Personally, radiation is the closest to magic. I have been having the idea that radiation is correlated with the passage of time. Since we created a time crystal by blasting metal with an insane amount of radiation, I’ve been pondering if the fact that there is an entire background of radiation in our universe and how maybe that can be associated with the passage of time somehow. What if the universe is just a massive time crystal and will eventually cycle back to the beginning and repeat itself all over again?
@@TheSCPStudio You might want learn more about gravity: flight works because of it, and does not avoid it.
@@TheSCPStudio it is always "now". your ideas about light are correlative with optics. looking through universe works the same way through a phenomena called " cosmic replay ", the farther you look at an image through space the farther back in time you see in the most literal sense
Alright, now it is official: this is by far my favourite channel. You have succeeded to overthrow the mighty Vsauce.
Is vsauce still a thing? I haven’t seen one of those videos in YEARS.
@@MartinThmpsn I think he posts lots of RUclips Shorts recently but not really like his old videos
How much of understanding of research over decades has gone into making this presentation. What would we lesser mortals do without your understanding of what has transpired. Thank you for the updates but I must confess one hearing does not make for understanding. But it's there and am so grateful to Sea.
Very beautifully constructed, I look forward to each and every upload, SEA!
This video somewhat validated me, since I had the thought all of my own accord that seemingingly everything in the universe seems to orbit something of a massive relative mass .. moons around planets, planets around stars, stars around black holes at galactic centres.. even neutrons around atomic cores seems to be a fixed pattern... So cool to see that concept validated on a greater scale ..
Stars don't really orbit the black holes at the centre of the galaxy, Black holes don't have anywhere near the mass necessary to make galaxies form, stars just orbit the centre of mass of the entire galaxy, affected by literally everything with mass in said galaxy, and that balances out over billions of years creating uniform motion in the spiral pattern you're used to seeing galaxies form.
Neutrons, Electrons and protona follow a different kind of laws so they're not really that similar, but yeah, because gravity, the less dense regions of space will always be attracted to the more dense regions, leading to star formation, solar system formation, galaxy formation, cluster formation and so on, as long as gravity has enough time to reach somewhere in space, it will always cause this pattern
This episode is an absolute gem. Nothing induces a sense of peace like contemplating the scale of the universe. I'll be listening to this many times.
This is my favorite space video
Same
Astrophobia: A fear of space is also one of my favorite videos
Sorry. I was mistaken with titles:
“Why is space so terrifying?”
Is the correct one. Done about 8 months ago
OK, you have a subscriber for these reasons. I've watched several of your videos. Comprehensive information, fairly quick narration, visual presentation, when it comes to music, i don't feel like I'm watching some Batman movie and finally I don't feel like a small child.
When I was younger I liked to think that the attractor was some incomprehensible Lovecraftian monstrosity that lurked outside the observable universe.
It's Azathoth taking in a breath before he exhales out. A single inhale takes trillions of years 😂
@@antonironstag5085 *X-Files theme intensifies*
At around 9:40, he makes it sound like that.
Lovecraftian monsters seems tiny compared to these superclusters.
It kind of is.
Everytime I watch a video of yours a goosebumps appear on my back. Love your work and the mysterious way you represent the cosmological topics. 🌌
This is one of, if not, the best videos you've done because you take us on a journey of discovery. It's like a "who done it" murder mystery in space. Can you do more of this formula?
Props to the camera men who risked their lives to travel such distances!
Also amazing how steady those shots are!
@@jotcw81 shipmounted cameras, not handheld like Apollo missions. 👍🏻
Ha ha ha ha
The Cameraman can do the impossible.
this is such a well made video. deserves more views. thank you!
I feel I don't even watch your videos for the education, but for the peaceful atmosphere created by the ambient music, slow-paced presentation and just someone speaking quietly. In the middle of the night there is nothing to interrupt me as no one is awake. Of course, it's great to learn things as well
At the risk of sounding grandiose, I want to say that these SEA videos are life changing for me in a most wonderful way.
Great improvement of the thumbnails! It's very well made and eye-catching :)
A truly epic piece of work!
Thank you for this and explaining everything in such an easy to understand manner.
Staying on my favourite list until youtube implodes.
Finally, I have been waiting for this, it seems like nobody is talking about it.
There are ten videos on yt exclusively talking about what the great attractor is, with a combined watch time of about 160 minutes, just search "great attractor".
We are👏🏼
Magnificent, utterly brilliant!
I love astronomy; between learning to play the piano during daylight (due to neiborghly consideration!) and astronomy lessons in YT at night time, I have no time to be bored...
I hope to live for another 20 years, well into my 90's, such that I can explore deep space with my minds eye. Life is wonderfull, and in retrospect I can say we live in the perfect time!!
Imagine having a voice so beautiful it can actually do the universe justice 🌌🌌🌌
