Thanks you all so much for watching…Edgar out!

[@kevincanavan2440]

Thanks, I'm writing about a fantasy world with a ring system and this was exactly what I was looking for

[@mousermind]

If Earth's rings were bright enough to dull the moon, how much would that affect our ability to see the stars?

[@stinkybutt02able]

Apparently earth is ugly and no one wants to put a ring on it.

[@anatapindika9118]

Meanwhile in an alternate universe, there'll be a video talking about if earth doesn't have rings

[@Destructowad]

I saw a post on imgur the other day that I think would be an interesting subject for a future video. That being, it basically proposed "What if, instead of deep oceans, we had forests that went as deep as they do, with taller and taller trees and life becoming more bizarre the further you go into it?"

[@joescott]

This is really cool. I've often thought about how much different human culture and religions would be if the Earth had rings. I mean, just look at all the symbolism the ancients placed on the stars and constellations, imagine what they'd come up with for rings. It's an interesting thought experiment. Good video!

I feel like a fucking genius watching this...

[@GoonaTVhi]

lets all admit, it would be pretty damn cool

[@freddiet.rowlet525]

I'm imagining a civilisation on a ringed, rocky planet like this that endures colder conditions due to the long winters but is extremely technologically advanced, to the point where they are long past the level of technology earth humans needed to go into space, but they understand they are afraid to attempt to leave their planet a) due to the possibility of colliding with the rings and b) because they are unable to use space telescopes or other satellites to survey their star system, so they dont know what could be out there.

"We're balls deep at this stage..." Lol

[@boomperson818]

"But hey, we are balls deep at this stage," ummm

[@010dx010]

Well earth is single

Bible would have few extra pages explaining how god created rings in 3 days

[@thecrakenplays2181]

Hey, Vsauce! Michael H- Wait, this is the wrong video?!

[@wesselstienstra7020]

I am a little bit jealous of that magnificent beard of yours
