Yo. I know it's the norm now to include ads in your videos. And I 💯 support creators need to make money. That's why I pay for RUclips premium. 1. So that I don't have to see ads. 2. To support creators.
Now why should I keep paying for premium when most creators these days are double dipping and having their cake while eating it too? I pay so that I don't have to see ads. I guess it's time to stop paying. And stop watching channels who are getting greedy.
define thing
No
@tsexton2281 because RUclips is greedy the creators get pennies
@@V_2077 if it's for pennies then I'm sure they wouldn't be against stopping running embedded adds when people are literally paying for add free RUclips.
King Ghidorah supercluster is probably the coolest astrophysical name I've ever had.
I can’t think of a cooler name!!!
In other scientists using awesome names news: there is a Sonic Hedgehog gene.
what about cyborg shark supercluster,

Sharknado cluster
Boy how to cheer me up after a rough day : new video of my favourite channel
My feelings as well 😊
Good sleep
Hope your day gets better.
Didn't do a thing, but you're welcome ✌️
@@BoyKhongklai Don't think they were talking to you.
It‘s absolutely insane to me that we are even remotely able to map the universe on this scale, given how incomprehensibly large the scales we are talking about are.
It’s mental.

Legendary, I love it when a new episode comes out. HOTU is my absolute favourite thing on RUclips
Its my second favourite - #1 is ParallaxNick!
when the music kicks in at the beginning i get so calm, some of the best content out there
Second only to the Why Files for me. Absolutely incredible content every time from both!
The love I have for my Dog!

mity?
Wait, you love your dog more than the people in your life? I find that concerning.
@@vgynylrecords not for me and my dog it’s not!
it will die in a few years lol
the similarities in structure between the cosmic web, nervous systems, and mycorrhizal networks strike me as one of the fundamental fractals of existence & information
It always has me wondering if the universe is just one very large brain.
Yes, and a bit like the nervous system in a body, or a plant's root system, or all the branches and twigs arranged in the head of a tree, and as the tree grows larger, the voids between major supporting branches grow larger.
Perhaps, everything is more or less just a fractal, a basic pattern budding off something larger, sometimes visible, sometimes undetectable to current technology.
Curious how these voids grow as if exerting a pressure, pushing matter towards the filaments, making them thinner, denser.
Makes me wonder if these filaments actually will be squeezed until they break apart, or whether they will be squeezed together to form even denser super clusters of galaxies that might hold their own against dark energy and matter, or get crushed - into singularities?
Or 'a' singularity?
That's what I love most about cosmology.
You can dive right into rabbit holes, following a single train of thought for hours, thinking I wish I had the mathematical and physics knowledge to work out if this was even possible.
It has been said that everything derives from strings and energy
sci fi mumbo jumbo, the average layman can't verify for themselves because they can't "afford" the equipment
in other words, trust the science
how well has that worked out for everyone in recent years
@@NotSoNormal1987iv. Often thought the same
I seriously. SERIOUSLY love these videos. This channel is one of the best on RUclips
🩷💜💙
for real
Agreed
Real
Sea, john Michael godier, and cool worlds are good channels, oh Isaac Arthur's not bad either
The scale of the universe is beyond words. Spending just a moment considering it is enough to dramatically tune your perspective. Seems the universes size is indicative of its depth, what we think we know about life, ourselves, is just an inconceivablly tiny speck of what there is to know.
and yet I look at burning wood, knowing it is one of the rarest chemical reactions in the entire universe. all a matter of perspective:)
the quality of the narrative script of the documentaries made by this channel is absolutely amazing!!!!
in a world full of uninspiring AI space content, your channel is paradoxical. The team behind this - give yourselves a pat on the back
Felatiate me then
@@user-fg8ml5jd4gwhy are you gæ?
I could care less as long as the science is accurate. These social media companies should do more to curb the rampant misinformation on their platforms.
@@0-m-1-n-0-u-5you mean you "couldn't" care less. 🙄
Exactly. Althugh the AI prophets think it's going to expand and enlighten us all, the reality is that t will do exactly what social media did - add another whole order of magnitude of pure crap into cyberspace.
anyone play this to fall asleep
i do it everyday religiously i can’t sleep without this chanel’s video
@ROCHA69U? 🌵🏜️ ...Ditto! ❤
The emptiness of atoms is another example.
A buddy of mine says matter is just "slightly polluted vacuum"...
I’m very appreciative of the hard work that goes into researching these videos, and in awe of your script writing skills.
He doesn't write all his scripts
He could have also perhaps explained that the word avoid originated from a void.
YES! Another video is just what I needed.
Thanks for keeping the output at a solid pace.
If you make it, we will watch.
This is my absolute favorite space information channel!
You don't build the empty rooms in a building.... you build the walks ceilings and floors.
But the nature of nothing in the universe IS substantial. Empty space IS something so it's not flawed logic. Your metaphor fails.
The empty rooms of the universe are why we even have a concept of anything else; they’re fundamental to the universe
And you talk about the size of the room, not the size of the walls.
my man, respectfully, if this is all you can conceptualize then maybe content on cosmology just isn't for you
FUN FACT :: even atoms themselves ARE mostly empty space.
i find it to be REALLY, QUITE AWESOME that such an arrangement ALSO extends to large scales such as that of our entire known universe.
best part of the month!
I love this channel so much, i really like astronomy and philosophy content, and i'm usually very picky about which videos to choose to look at and which channel to subscribe to, but this channel has it ALL!
- Consistent rich information to learn from
- Amazing visuals that aligns with the content
- An animator with a soothing voice
- A philosophical angle
- Takes you to a whole other realm
- Shows new perspectives of life and makes you ask urself new questions
- Lenghty videos that i can also sleep to
- Public and easy access without too much annoying included ads
This whole channel is absolute perfection! Keep up the good work, i am so happy whenever a new video drops! 💙
Lots of love and admiration to all the people who work on this 🙏 (from Morocco)
Ou en Maroc? Bonjour a vous.
You put a lot of work into these scripts. Another great video. Keep up the great work.
Just got on my flight and was wondering what to download to watch during the flight, and noticed HOTU uploaded! 🎉
These videos always fill me with a sense of “nothing matters”.
Consider this, though: what would it take for things to matter? Or in other words: what features must a universe possess in order for its human inhabitants to attach genuine meaning to life, love, existence, and everything else? It turns out that this question isn't as easy to answer as it might seem.
The assumption is that the modern universe that we know and fear offers less meaning than other possible universes. It offers, for instance, less meaning than the earthbound "world" of the past, where we lived and died -- meaningfully -- all while remaining blissfully unaware of the universe beyond. The argument might go something like this: in a universe this vast and indifferent, meaning washes out with the vastness and in the absence of top-down authority. Any meaning that can be found in this universe is purely human-generated. It is true that we can *give* life meaning, but this subjective form of meaning is deficient relative to the *objective* meaning another universe might afford us.
Let's say, then, that the universe truly was the way that we used to think it was a few centuries ago: limited in extent, static, and presided over by a deity. Where does meaning come from in this universe? Are our lives any more meaningful because we are surrounded by a mere galaxy (or a mere solar system) instead of an infinite spacetime teeming with stars and quasars and relativistic jets and exomoons and all the rest? Your answer may differ, but this smaller universe doesn't seem any more or less "meaningful" -- or at least there is no obvious reason why it would be so. Shrinking the universe does not appear to make it more meaningful, only less daunting.
Meaning must come from the presence of a deity, then. But what is it about *this* relationship that would give our lives meaning? If the deity gave us an endless series of quests to occupy our time, would these quests give our lives meaning? If the deity instituted a kind of reward/punishment system for completing (or failing to complete) His quests, would these rewards and punishments give our lives meaning? It doesn't seem obvious why this arrangement would be any more meaningful than our current configuration. We might well ask ourselves whether these divine honey-dos from on high were meaningful at all -- and the response ("because the deity assigned them to us") doesn't seem especially satisfying. And if no one divine task is inherently meaningful, it follows that a lifetime -- or an eternity -- of such tasks would also fall short of the sort of meaning we seek. In the end, whether these divine quests mattered to us or not would seem to depend on how *humans* felt about them. Even in a small, regimented, and supervised universe, we would have to create our own meaning -- or to accord meaning to things -- for there to be any meaning at all.
Perhaps this tells us more about the nature of meaning than it does about the nature of the universe. By definition, conscious beings accord meaning *to things.* Meaning does not inhere in objects, not even objects as big as the universe. Meaning exists only in the interaction between thinking things and the things that thinking things observe. Meaning is bestowed, not found.
@@ifsowhynot consider this: that was a clever joke about the topic of the video, and it flew right over your head 😛
Nothing does matter. We only think it matters.
The universe leaves it up to you to find meaning. Isn't one good day enough?
@@Bildgesmytheeven one bad day is better than none.
Another great one! Many times this has happened. I start watching one of your videos as I go to sleep, because of the soothing voice of the narrator but the script is so interesting that sleep is the last thing in my mind!
I graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in 1984 but because i fell in love with physics i did a second degree in physics with a leaning to astronomy and cosmology. To this day im still stunned at the vastness and size of the observable universe. The graphics really bring that home. Another great video.
Thanks to you, Laniakea has been my phone’s Lock Screen picture ever since you first introduced me to those beautiful filaments years ago. Thank you, sir!
This channel having under a million subs seems like it should be illegal.
This channel is criminally underrated lol
Sadly, a lot of humans would rather be comfortable than learn.
It gets 1m+ views a video. I swear anything that people consume that isn’t immediately mainstream has them incessantly using ‘underrated’
Really ?
@@TheSCPStudio this should have 100M views. I swear ignorant people come into RUclips comment sections and incessantly make dumb comments. It’s annoying tbh
@@Legio__Xvery. So you should stop
You are Magic Masters!
A very detailed and beautiful format for transmitting interesting astronomical information. And also an emphasis on the fractality of voids, Inter-universal energy flows and “spatial voids”.
The best video from the Universe :)
15:14 "here be dragons ." This quote stuck with me since I heard it in the Entire History of the Maya. Which is another absolute gem from these brothers.
Great video as always, these videos help me so much to keep a sense of awe and wonder for life and the universe❤
PBS SpaceTime AND HOU episode on the same day?!? ❤
AND ParallaxNick!
I think I have attempted to watch the videos of this channel a unfathomable amount of time when sitting on bed, I always end up sleeping through the entire video, then watch it again and again... Some days I finally manage to see them through *big!!!*
I love when anything space related mentions Kitt Peak, but what I love more is that I get to see that Mountain everyday knowing all the cool discoveries made up there!
me waiting for the 10^60 "your mom" jokes about to appear in the comments:
Nope. Looks like its just yours bud 😂 😉
A self fulfilling prophecy
Surprised by the lack of those! And I was looking ! 😂
@@piusdoe8984 says wonders about this comment section tbh
Uranus
Thank you Dr. Sutter. You’re the best!
My absolute favorite channel. Love from Zambia ❤️❤️
Excellent explanation of the evolution of the voids, and the objects and forces involved.
15:23 I love the infinity stones galaxy shot in the middle of the worrying about the unknown.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips hands down
Another great episode. This is by far the best astronomy/cosmology channel on RUclips.
Amazing as always. knew about voids for years, yet never realized how fascinating they can be. thanks for that!
OMG... The movie "The Never Ending Story" featured a villain simply called The Nothing that grew nearly to consume the fantasy world. Didn't realized it was speculative fiction :)
I remember that movie, wow nostalgia.
I always took it as a metaphor for the death of imagination.
Spooky.. I was reminded of that movie a couple days ago presented with the memory of my favorite characters especially “The Luck Dragon”. (Now understood as a depiction of Quetzalquatal), I loved that movie. Why did it come to me “from the void”? (tee hee) & for what purpose?? Hail the “Gap Generation” analog childhood, digital adulthood.
You have filled an essential void in my heart.
Discovery documentaries were my childhood. But they only describe layman sh**
You are not afraid to dive deep and explore/explain huge topics.
I love you
Outstanding as always. The perfect narration, the spendid graphics, the fantastic script writing, it all makes every episode a joy to watch and listen. Thanks a lot for another beautiful video.
This video seems like it’s AI generated
One of the finest RUclips channel out there. Simply Brilliant ✨
There is nothing better in a Thursday evening than a notification f or a new video from one of Top 3 best educational channels on RUclips - History of the Universe. ❤
thanks HOTU! will be listening to this one tonight!!
I can't wait for each new episode. The universe and this channel are both endlessly fascinating.
Space is incredible, when we recently had a Earthquake here in NYC I told my oldest son that it was just a reminder that we live on a active rock that’s hurtling through space, something I personally believe many people tend to forget because they’re so wrapped up in their everyday lives and what they observe in front of them and around them, failing to look up a realize the bigger picture, the biggest picture the Universe!
Dr.Sutter did it again!blew my mind and managed to teach me new things,that's the best part of YOU TUBE is the educational content people like Paul sutter and his distinguished collegues are doing the world, and our universe a bitof good, thank you!
10 million super clusters each containing hundreds of thousands of galaxies. Each galaxy containing hundreds of millions of stars and we can't even reach the closest star to us at only 4 LR away. Everything here on Earth is so comically insignificant when you think about all of that.
I know but I still want a new truck 😅
Everything is insignificant when you put it that way. Trying to find meaning in that sea of nothingness is life.
Yet Religion says we are special...what's more likely...we are very special...or they made it all up to control...?
The scales of the universe are so immense that it’s too inconceivable for me to even grasp what’s being shown, but there is one thing that always knocks the wind out of me. This is just the _observable_ universe.
20:40 A nice flip from feeling "Wow, there's so much out there" to "Wow, the universe is so scarily quiet and empty".
After all the overwhelmingly rough day… I knew something was about to come
And this is just it
At this point im convinced our entire universe is contained in the gastrointestinal track of an organism.
Brilliant work .." again " david, thank you for all your effort. Cheers
Great video, awesome narration and middle tiny bits in wisdom and depth

I am so happy you released a new video. This is some of the best content of its type. Can you give us a hint when your brother is coming out with a new video?
“Fantastically written episode,” I think to myself. I really don’t watch typically, just no time for video content more often than not. Then I learn that Paul Sutter wrote it. This is the second time… Bravo to the content creators!
Because of you i am now scientist ❤❤❤i know what is my purpose in this vast void we are just a spec fluctuation in this universe ❤

Really glad to have a new video from you!
I'm only about halfway in, and what is affecting me the most is the scale of these voids. Philosophically, I can't help but reflect on the Buddha's teaching about the great void, and also there's a famous quote from the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, a man named Sri Yukteswar, who, as Yogananda relates, told him that " the visible universe hangs like a tiny bucket from the invisible universe."
Now, this statement is coming from a man who lived in India primarily in the 1800s, and who spent all his time in his home village meditating and teaching meditation techniques to disciples. He didn't have a telescope, computers were 75 years in the future, and he didn't have much in the way of schooling as we know it today. Yet he knew that the universe was largely empty, as did the Buddha.
And here we are, in the 21st century, with incredible technology which is exploring all kinds of objects in the universe that people like him could not have any knowledge of, and yet, here we are, at the humbling and yet enlightening realization that emptiness is the reality beyond all phenomena.
That is truly mind expanding.
Also in the Bible- ‘things that were made were made from things unseen’

❤ Awesome!! Just absolutely awesome!! Saved it and now ready to watch it again before learning more from other videos. Thank you for presenting this to us.❤😊
Last video was top notch. Looking forward to trying this one.
Again, great work guys. Never fail to captivate with every one of your videos.
What if spacetime was more malleable and Gravity was just much stronger because of it at the beginning of the Universe, like how we show gravity as balls on a sheet creating gravity wells. If there has always been the same amount of spacetime just in a smaller space, that means that matter would create deeper wells, this could be visualized like how the current model could be a bedsheet and it is pulled taught, because dark energy is pulling it apart, but in the beginning the sheet would be more loose, so the same amount of matter would make a deeper impression. This might be able to explain how super voids could have formed and early black holes as well.
Great as always
Let's goooo! I freaken love this channel. Most interesting content on youtube
Thank you so much for this breathtaking documentary, and your beautiful perspective on voids.
Thank you! Your videos are always a pleasure.
These words seem utterly insufficient, but (an immense) thank you! Such a brilliant channel!
I tried and now use Opera. Thank you for sponsoring this great content. This channel is awesome. Thank you for this outstanding video.
This is the best thing that's happened to me this week ❤❤❤
Laniakea Supercluster is the supercluster that contains the Virgo Cluster, Local Group, and by extension on the latter, our galaxy; the Milky Way.
Another magical journey 💙
❤ thank you to the film producer. the connotation, in each video is captivating
It's gotta be your brain with how good your videos are ❤
I'm so excited to watch this
Another magnificent video. Thank you so much 😊
You just made my day!☺️
Love the idea that some things we can't explain are glimpses of something only understandable with a different perspective.
Something I've only recently realized.......
That transition into the Opera sponsor was as smooth as the open nothingness of the universe!
17:49-18:39
I always have been confused & curious about the unfortunate duplication of the cosmological nomenclature & classification of superclusters within superclusters & local clusters (Virgo -local- cluster vs Virgo supercluster), particularly Virgo. Also, in how would you be able to define a supercluster apart from another supercluster within itself, as in Laniakea vs Virgo. Now I understand better.
Very nice and informative video, thank you for your high quality videos, “History”!
I love these large scale cosmic structures of our universe, but I think that in the start there wasn't just one universe, I can imagine that we live or have always existed in a multiverse. And all of these individual universes grew or merged together over time, eventually forming the gigantic universe that we know and analyze today.
I can also imagine that voids were failed/collapsed universes in their very past...
We're actually located in a void. Not just right next to the local void but in the KBC supervoid.
This really makes you think about what a void actually is. Could everything really be technically in a void if you zoom out far enough? Does it even ever end?
the universe is so big its crazy we need to learn more
Thanks for the video! Not a lot of content on here that goes super into depth about their subject so your posts are always refreshing.
This is one of my favorite things to learn about! I just can't comprehend the vastness but who can? I am in awe of the universe! It is so beautiful and mysterious! We haven't even been past the moon physically! How could all this not have more than just us alive? I believe it's proof God is real but that's just me. I do respect everyone's beliefs and opinions! I love this channel!
I kind addictive to this type's show with this special voice
Thanks for free knowledge and all 😅
Loved it!! 💯 ur videos always calm me down with the complexity. Its an oxymoron or somrthing idk 😅
