In the Blink of an Eye: Space in an Instant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2021
- When we look up at night, the universe seems pretty quiet. But that perspective is an illusion; in reality, there are millions of world-shattering events happening every instant across the cosmos. This short film explores just how much is going on every moment in our ridiculously enormous universe.
In the fraction of a second it takes to blink your eyes, thousands of stars will be born, hundreds will explode and die, millions of planets will form, and our universe will expand by half a million kilometers in diameter.
And these numbers only account for the observable universe -- not for what could be happening beyond, where some scientists believe there could be an infinite expanse of space.
Think next time you blink.

*Imagine our entire universe being just a dust particle of the real thing.*
That's probably what it is
This kind of imagination gives me panic attack and anxiety
To the deep sea creatures without eyes the ocean is the universe . Like that we couldn't comprehend what's out there 🤯🤯
It is. When the Big Bang first formed, energy cooled into two distinct forms of mass: matter, and antimatter. Both annihilate on contact. It is believed that for whatever unknown reason, that there just happened to be 0.0001% more matter.
@@vswastedlife That's the horror. Also, we can't comprehend higher dimensions is something that gives me anxiety too.

The dislikes are people who can’t blink.
edit: I love how a dumb comment like this created a full on philosophical argument 🤣
Underated comment
It's more like they are denialists who can't deal with the reality.
Fishes...
No it's from the religious idíots who deny science
Cuz they have a fear of doing it.
The words epic and emotional got redefined by this Video
Why is this better than most documentaries nowadays
Universe makes me feel how tiny and powerless we are
There might be micro universes in lesser pocket dimensions than you where by time u typed the comment and felt sad their universe would have had a big bang and then fizzled out now feel so powerful
Yet, the human brain is the most complex thing in the known Universe and thus far there is no evidence that is going to change any time soon.
Stars can't think. Raw scale isn't as relevant as we tend to believe.
Indeed, we are smaller, but stars and galaxies are more common place than you are. Your alive, you can think.
@@p_serdiuk Yet so many things can snuff out all life on our planet in an instant. We are at the whims of the universe. We need to spread through the stars to survive.
We mean nothing to the Universe. But we mean everything TO US.
