Vsauce is so full of videos that encourage thinking
Yes I enjoy watching most of them more than once. But sadly, I haven’t seen much new popping up lately.. 😳
@@RickSjoerds His entire RUclips Red series "Mind Field" is available for free on his channel if you didn't wanna pay to see them several years ago just FYI.
@@kalen1702 I have seen them, since I paid for them back in the days 😀 But nevertheless, I understand that he's slowing a little bit, since he doesn't want the "simple" videos ;-)
@@RickSjoerds yeah true, I respect it but I do wish he uploaded more. It’s like the Slo Mo Guys effect lol
@@RickSjoerds The few videos he has posted lately are way longer and more elaborate however.
Vsauce is great please keep reacting to these existential thought provoking videos.
I hope she watches “Our Narrow Slice” soon too!
Am I into mythology? You bet.
Oh, good
@@NoProtocol Same here, I already knew the "Milky way" myth. I love to find fellow mythology enthusiasts!!!
Hope you all are doing great!
Absolutely into mythology! Greco-Roman, Norse, Judeo-Christian-Islamic, Nippon, Sino, Hindu, was reading up on Egyptian gods just earlier today. There's this YT channel that looks into the history of myths called Craeganford or something if you're interested. Not sure if I spelled that right.
Hey, I love mythology; Norse, Greek, Polynesian, Indian, Native American. I find it endlessly fascinating; I'd love to see your reactions to some videos on those topics!
Another great video, as always; this is definitely my favorite reaction channel
I agree, both about it being fascinating and interested in her take on videos on the topic. Stephen Frye has some videos he hosted/narrated about some of the myths.
If you play video games you should check out a game named “Smite”
Another great one. I do like mythology. I just finished Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology" a great book heavily sourced on The Poetic Edda.
The channel "Overly Sarcastic Productions" talks a lot about tropes in writing, but they also have videos on history and mythology.
I'd assume that there are a fair number of people in this community that appreciates Mythology. It has been a while since I read anything specifically about this subject. I tend to spend most of my time with psychology and philosophy.
@@ravenward626 She should really give OSP a go lol
I love your interjections of your own thoughts on the subject throughout the video. Too many react channels just watch the whole video without adding any value to it whatsoever.
My favorite Vsauce video is called “Did The Past Really Happen?”
It covers a wide range of mind-blowing things like Last Thursdayism and Occam’s Razor. Definitely recommend that one.
Of course mythology. When I was in elementary school, one of our regular substitute teachers was a lady who was born in Greece; at the end of any day where she taught us she'd tell us a story from Greek mythology. It was amazing, one of my favourite memories from school.
Dijiste 'ah, mira!"? caught me off guard xd. Tus videos son geniales, comentarios interesantes. Keep it up gurl!
No such thing as a happy immortal. Also 'galaxy' coming from the word 'lactic' really got me.
"No such thing as a happy immortal."
You know this for a fact? I mean, I'm 99 nines certain that there are no immortals period, but I wouldn't dare to assume his/her/its state of mind assuming their existance.
Line of thought like that, and the next thing you know you're making authoritative claims about what God wants. 😉
@@CyberiusT Why are you assuming that my statement is an assumption and you aren't even fully sure that immortals aren't real? Not like I could prove it to you, no matter what I actually knew. Also, I wouldn't assume what anybody wants, let alone God. I'd ask them, if possible.
@@thewhat6219 But....but you did assume by making a statement on the happiness of immortals. Unless you know for a fact, you cannot make that statement true, and you said it as if it were true....thus, an assumption...
@lanmandragoran8337 And if I did know for a fact, what proof would be good enough to confirm that? It's possible for people to know things and not be able to prove it, assumption or otherwise. I could tell you I was an unhappy immortal, and met with other unhappy immortals every week, under what grounds would you believe me? None, and I wouldn't blame you. Doesn't even matter if you believe it or not, it's not exactly provable in the first place. You're assuming I haven't met an immortal. It may sound crazy, but can you prove that I haven't? Would you believe if I had?
@@thewhat6219 "and you aren't even fully sure that immortals aren't real?"
I'm not 100% sure /I/ am "real" - I could be the universe having a bad dream.
Some creators are good at reacting to music videos, to movies, to all sort of different things but you are great at reacting to "smart" videos. Great as always
The range of topics at Vsauce's several channels also impressed me over the years. Another of their videos I found fascinating is on the Banach-Tarski paradox
Thanks for another great reaction video and the link for the Chernobyl photography.
It feels like every time I watch one of your videos I either learn something new or I have something worthwhile to think about.
Btw I think you would be surprised by just how many of your viewers like Mythology as well.
12:36 Actually, Vsauce has a video on the topic of mortality too.
Thank you for saying Heracles when referring to a Greek story because a lot of media use Hercules even tho there taking inspiration from the Greek myth not the Roman.I wonder where that misconception even came from
i just cant get enough of your videos. your perspective an openmindedness is awesome an i wish more ppl thought an viewed things as you do. much love sent your way hun. 🤟🤘
I always loved that vsauce videos were not only informative, but super inspiring. Michael in particular is the reason I'm into conlangs and map making. Aaaand he introduced me to uncanny horror, which I now kinda regret becoming aware of.
I was big into Greek mythology when I was a teenager. Never missed an episode of Xena.
Not sure what Xena is, I’ll look it up!
😂
@@NoProtocol you'll be in for a trip, believe me 🤣
My dad was a dairy farmer, and we were such big fans of Xena, he named one of our cows after her! I even trained her as a show cow for 4H. She was a sweetheart
Very slightly related to the gestation thing: once I mentioned that I was born 16 weeks prematurely and someone said "can't believe you did a speedrun of your own gestation period" and I think about that a lot
old vsauce videos are classsics, i like spooky coincidences one too
Vsauce's Mind Field videos are really good.
I just randomly found you! I absolutely love the things that you watch, I have seen many of them, everything Vsauce for sure!. But I love your insights, understanding, and I guess an eagerness to explore. Subscribed, and new fav RUclipsr. I will be sifting through others of yours. Thank you for being curious, enlightened and sharing!
I'll make an appointment to make sure I have a suitable parasol for the Andormeda gaalxy collision event ;)
There are plenty of things that (just within my lifetime) I know I have missed and things I know I will miss. And they do not really bug me that much, so stuff that happened before or will happen after my presence bug me even less. Some friends and I share a joke about wishing to be sitting in deckchairs observing as the Sun goes nova.
For the myths of Greece and Rome I have always been fascinated by them; probably moreso the Greek ones, but over the years memory of them has faded a bit, sadly.
More Vsauce please!
What are some other videos of his that you like?
@@NoProtocol 'LONELY.' is probably my favourite video from Vsauce, as it is more philosophical than scientific. But you definitely check out 'Messages for the future' too. 👍🏽
The Vsauce videos on the Banach-Tarski paradox and supertasks are good
You know what’s a great video? Michael and the guy from Myth Busters have a few. There’s a shorter one about what’s on Michaels work desk but my favorite is the one where they make a kendama (or however it’s spelled) together. Though it’s probably too long to react to.
Vsauces "our narrow slice" is a pretty cool video
First time I’ve seen her channel and like her reactions, she a smart cookie and I’m looking forward to more astronomy vids 👍🏽
9:00 Interesting Fact:
The laws of physics tell us that the photon didn’t experience the journey at all, from its perspective it arrived instantaneously regardless of the distance it travelled.
Great video! I am interested in mythology! More space related commentary please!
History of the Earth channel is fantastic and I think you'll love that.
Also history of the universe is great at explaining physics for the general audience. If you're interested in that kind of thing.
Next must be the "banach tarski paradox" one ;)
You are such a brilliant and beautiful person. You're beautiful inside and out. I'm really loving your channel. Keep it up please!
The vsauce video on mistakes is fantastic
Man, this channel is awesome. Getting to learn about so many random things i didnt think i would care about haha
Hello from The Netherlands, nice vid. Thank you.
more vsauce! i grew up on vsauce hes my favorite youtuber
I’m not into mythology, no. But I was immediately impressed that you dropped that knowledge out of nowhere. ☺️
There is a novel called "Marooned in Real Time" about a future where people skip forward through time, sometimes by millions of years. It's a sequel to another book, "The Peace War", but you might not absolutely need to read that first book
Says she saw something interesting and that she'll put it in description and actually does it ✔️
Dosent talk over video ✔️
Isn't annoying ✔️
Dosent spew shit like "WOAH" "WHAT NO WAY" "THATS CRAZY!" ✔️
Likes history/mythology interesting or atleast finds it introduces ✔️
Instant subscription
I love your Intros so much!
I'm glad I found this channel
Great video! I recommend you very much the Vsauce video titled "Our Narrow Slice", it must be my favorite on similar topics as well as a similar "vibe".
Also I'd recommend any video by Michael Stevens / Vsauce, he's an amazing creator.
By the way, did you say "¡Ah, mira!" at the beginning of the video? I'm a native Spanish speaker so I caught that and I don't know if it was another phrase or interjection that happened to sound like that or if you were speaking Spanish.
I loved your video, hope to see more from you soon!!!
I love how you just get right into the reaction. You don’t waffle and the commentary you provide is interesting and engaging. Subscribed and eager to see more Vsauce reactions from you!
P.S. I love that poster in the background, I immediately recognise that Elvis pose every time!
To answer your question... Very interested in mythologies. Also, hugely recommend Vsauce's video on the Banach-Tarski paradox. One of my favorites
I absolutely love mythology, whether it's Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Canaanite, Mesopotamian, Native American, Mayan, Incan, Polynesian, etc.
It's really interesting that mythology is explainable by psychology, and Vice Versa (Jungian theory of Mythology). From stories of cosmic genesis, to God/gods crafting us in his/their image, to our struggles in our humble beginnings, to our hopes and aspirations for humanity's future, and to the Eschaton (the end of humanity's world), if there even is an end.
Mythology says a lot about humanity's collective psychology, who we are, where we come from, and how our perspective is formed.
immortality: knowing that your time is limited forces you to do something now. Immortality always gives you another time to do anything.
Your videos are great! You are great! Thanks for the content 😁
From Brazil to you
Yeah I checked my conception, I was born on march 3rd 2000, so my conception was between the 7th of June to the 15th 1999, the movie around that time of Star Wars the phantom menace. Pretty cool.
Fun fact the Swedish and icelandic called it winterway or winterstreet and was used to calculate the coming of winter, for crops in the spring probably, im guessing why but long winter no food?
Immortality is kind of the holy grail to me. There is nothing I find more joy in than just seeing history unfold and witnessing the path humanity is taking. I would hate for death to prevent me from seeing that.
On the mental health problems a immortal human would probably face I honestly think its a bit of a weak mindset. Yes it would be a big struggle. But I wouldnt overestimate the power the brain and weird thoughts have on you. After all you have eternity to come to terms with it. Unless it literally drives you into suicide I reckon that eventually you would find your place in your immortal life and start enjoying it a ton.
She immediately calculated that this year would be the third block. The rest of us were just watching the video. She literally thinks about things while she's watching them. She's smarter than all of us. And way more beautiful.
division by 10 can be done by most with very little effort. first block 1993 then one every 10 years means every year that ends in a 3 gets a block. this was uploaded in 2023 so it got a block. this year does not get a block. everybody should be able to figure that out instantly.
Please watch more Vsauce! Some suggestions:
How Many Holes Does a Human Have?
How Hot Can It Get?
What's The Brightest Thing In the Universe?
His Mind Field series, which looks into psychology and can get very interesting (e.g., a machine that can read your mind so well that it can predict what you will do before you even know you're going to do it)
I love mythology, but I can never remember the stories myself, so it's always great when someone, such as yourself, can effortless recall them.
Really like your way of thinking, keep the Vsauce videos coming:)
You will love VSauce - Math Magic especially the part about 52 factorial.
For what little it may, or may not, be worth... I appreciated your tangent on mythos; haha.
I was actually ready fpr her to keep going on that one
A similar sort of video from Vsauce is Messages For The Future, which I find utterly beautiful in an odd sort of way. Really recommend it!!
I really enjoy your videos. You, as well, are an excellent communicator! Vsauce is great, i humbly request you do more reactions of his content!
Love mythology :)
Yes love mythology! Should check out Jon Solo. He does a bunch of videos on "messed up origins" of mythology both Greek and Roman as well as messed up origins of children's stories
I remember reading, several years back, that even if death from old age, disease, or other internal sources was completely eliminated, that average human lifespan would only be about 1,500 years, simply due to the law of averages catching up with us, and our having a fatal accident of some kind.
So in the end, I don't think even having our consciousness transferred into a new body, or even a computer, has a chance of making us "immortal".
...especially since the entire universe is likely going to come to an end eventually.Oh, and yes, I very much like studying old myths and legends. Especially the Germanic ones, since my paternal grandparents were German.
More vsauce videos, please!
scientists said that nothing would be able to grow in Chernobyl for the first 75 years, but new foliage began to spring up within a year. i've heard that a new fungus was discovered in the region, one that feeds of radioactive particles. the area will be inhabitable sooner than we know. nature is just mysterious and amazing that way.
For centuries progress was so slow that people didn't even entertain the possibility that new and exciting things could happen. I was born in the 70s and I've already experienced so much innovation and progress that I'm not bummed in the least knowing that I will miss a lot of things. The guys at Vsauce seem quite optimistic, I don't think that humans will still walk the Earth long enough to be worried about galaxies colliding. A supernova would be cool, though.
you should watch the documentary about the stray dogs that are living and some thriving in the contamination zone around Chernobyl. some register high levels of radiation while some don't. they talk of other animals but mainly dogs. I found it to be interesting
I'd love to see you react to some of Isaac Arthur's videos. I find them fascinating as they cover so many aspects of space.
He includes human social/technical development, possible evolution of governments, and future technologies.
All good stuff but they can be a little long for a one episode react.
"a little long" Understatement of the century.
I've been watching Vsauce for about 10 years. His videos are very thought provoking and insightful. I wouldn't want to live forever in the physical sense but I would like to experience what my progeny is living through from whatever space-time dimension I end up in (assuming that's what happens). I strive to make the most out of my time here and attempt to leave the world better than how I found it.
"[You've] done questionable things; but also extraordinary things. Revel in your time." - Dr. Eldon Tyrell, Blade Runner
Definitely into mythology although I tend to gravitate towards Nordic and Celtic mythologies more than Greek and Roman. Thanks for the great channel.
it was through mythology that i got into history which was my fav subject going to school
I love listening and learning about mythology, if you were to ever do a video on one I'd be all ears and eyes 👁👄👁
if given the chance to live "forever" i would absolutely take it.
but given we know our universe is destined to end somehow, my interest in being alive that long is purely to see what that end looks like. I am completely aware that involves an absurdly long period of time in complete darkness but i would literally wait it out just to see what the universe would look like.
and if somehow something crazy happened like a new big bang or something id be satisfied enough to accept death. so i wouldnt want to actually live infinitely just as long as the universe itself
I see his ending as an attempt to counter the "smallness" effect that we often get when thinking about the universe by presenting us with information that allows us to relate to the universe not as an insignificant being but as a significant one.
Would I want to live forever? In the distant future, human beings will have evolved into a totally different species than we are today. I would probably find them so incompatibly different that I would not want to live long enough to be the only one left of my kind surrounded by nothing but these "beings" so different than myself that I am lonely among many, who would see me as primitive and repulsive. But maybe a few hundred years would be fun as long as I can remain healthy and "young" enough to enjoy it. You know, on second thought, for all the magnificent things that I could witness, there will be monumentally horrific things (there is a savage side to humanity and to nature) that I would witness or have to live through. So, maybe not. I have lived through some great stuff already.
I already know about the Milky Way hurtling towards the Andromeda Galaxy but now I wonder if we're moving towards AG or AG is moving towards us. Maybe both.
I'm definitely into mythology, Mainly Greek, also bits of Roman and Norse, it's fascinating to me. Seeing the way that those societies made sense of the world by giving a name to things like lightning, the oceans, mountains etc. How they turned quite normal and natural things (for us modern folk anyway) into gods is really interesting and the different relationships between them. You really do get a sense of how they'd sit around a fire and teach their children those myths to explain how the planet and everything in it (from hills to emotions to weather) formed. I obviously don't believe in the myths myself, but I find the idea of it really intriguing. Much more than just having one God of everything, I think the individual gods with their own responsbilities and personalities and stories and relationships with one another paints a great picture.
Also I'm sure I've heard about Mt Rushmore surviving that long and it throws up an interesting question. Say a future civilisation of whatever we become in that time or even aliens arrive here, millions of years from now and they discover Mt Rushmore. There's no internet, no surviving books, no cities, simply no trace we were ever here, will they assume they were our gods, like with mythology? When every piece of evidence of our existence is gone except a big depiction of four faces without any name or record of why, what will they think?
I am absolutely passionate about mithology, in fact i'm the one that does exactly what you did, just start talking about it out of nowhere, i'm with you
Yes! Do some videos on greek mythology.
Hey there Champ. 🏆
Love your content, & style.
I have an appreciation for mythology (loved your expression when you brought it up 🤭🤣🥰), & like yourself, also think (some cases) may be based in real events/phenomenon.
My favourite mythological character...
"Sleipner"
...Odin's 8 legged (🤣) horse.
For some reason I always picture it like a horse body on-top of a giant spider, thing. 😅
Take care...
...and please, 🙏 more Karl Pilkington.
✨
Took mythology as a course in highschool. one of the few classes i tried in!
i learn every time i watch keep up the good work
keep watching more vsauce!
I have this book on mythology ranging from all Over the world and just find it fascinating how the human understanding of our world has changed over the years. Though I'm still perplexed and still finding out what inspired scary stories and myths in the African region.
Andromamilk? I would love to be able to see that collision. "Epic" is too small a word for it but my gods, what a site it would be.
I know about the Milky Way being Hera's actual milk. I'm super into Greek mythology.
I would recommend "How Earth Moves" by Vsauce. Great reaction!
Forever seems waaay too long. Maybe i'd like to stick around a few thousand years at most. But a question comes to mind, would i be able to mentally handle it? Thousands of years of memories, always outliving loved ones, perhaps having to see many many wars. Seems tough
According to my mother, I was conceived in the back seat of a Buick, to the sounds of Oye Como Va by Santana.
For an excellent take on living forever (or at least a really long time) try Robert Heinlein "Time Enough For Love"
Ringworld by Larry Niven. The protagonist, Louis Wu has a drug he takes that prolongs life indefinitely so often he has to take sabbaticals to other worlds to get away from humanity to keep from getting bored.
Since galaxies are mostly empty space, the Big Collision might end up being a Big Nothing Burger! Very few actual collisions, perhaps.
If anyone is into mythology and reading this, Circe is a fantastic read!
This may seem an unusual source, but the Anne Rice “Vampire Chronicles” present a very interesting take on immortality. A fun movie that deals with the subject is “Highlander,” starring Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown. It’s got a great soundtrack by Queen!
So the universe is expanding - and yet two galaxies are converging.
Nice I recommended this one!
I think I would want to live forever, i'm curious about how society and technology progresses over millenia, how society might collapse and then rebuild again, how knowledg is lost and relearned, or maybe forgotten forever and then humanity comming up with entirely new marvels given enough time. I'd collect all of this information, all of the stories and myths and legends and where they come from, how they might have been altered trough centuries of word of mouth. And i'd archive everything. This would be my purpose if I were immortal. But I would want to have a way out though, otherwise a blessing could suddenly become a curse.
We love mythology, Vsauce, and NoProtocol!
As a librarian from Argentina i'm into any knowledge. "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto" as romans said. So, yeah, I dig mithology, not just the greek one. I find your literary recomendations usefull and on point, having read many of those books myself. I would love to have a friend like you, madam. Good job!
Mythology rocks.
A new study claims we may see Betelgeuse supernova within decades.
Possible literary recommendation: Freedom or death, by Nikos Kazantzakis :)
I have to read it again myself, because I read it 15 years ago, but what I remember from it, is that it took away some of the fear of death from me at that time
nothing more attractive than intelligence and curiosity! hot damn
I actually am into Greek mythology. And other mythologies. And religious studies in general. Speaking of, have you ever seen anything from Religion for Breakfast? Great channel, I love when content is presented by someone who can not only make things entertaining, but is also a specialist in the discussed topic
