The Fear of Space

- What lies beneath the night sky? As your felt straying away from what is known, a certain consternation is felt. Space and its impending terror is a statement from the universe to us, that we are nothing.

To the viewer reading this, I spent 100 hours making this video, thank you for enjoying it :)
This isnt "the fear of space or astrophobia" or "the fear of planets" this is cosmophobia, an intense fear of space that stems from the unknown void and time that exists ever so infinitely between our minds and in front of our eyes. This video essay covers this topic in depth and provides a different perspective, to the undying curiosity of "what is our universe"
![Journey to the Edge of the Universe [4K]](/img/1.gif)
Turn that fear into curiosity
There are things in space so terrifying yet fascinating out there
It’s ok to be realistic and afraid of nothingness. Your and the entire human effort of curiosity for all time, amounts to nothing.
@@sim9373man not afraid
@@alanmoulet1362 man stupid. If a wild animal comes charging at you, are you going to be afraid? Because if you’re not, then you’re STUPID.
Space is my 1 fear, it's mostly the FUTURE OF SPACE THOUGH, yeah uhm I know a lot about it and it gives me a existential crisis
@@Trentagaemthat is so insanely irrational. you may know a lot about what is going to happen, but did you know that the time it takes for a star to become a white dwarf is in the trillions of years? our earth will be consumed by the sun in 5 billion years, which is roughly double the earths age btw. nothing significant will ever happen in our lifetimes. wrap your head around that. i do agree with the original commenter though, space is fascinating.
The concept of space is every emotion mixed up. Fear, anxiety, curiosity, hope, sadness, happiness, emptiness... and it is simply... fascinating.
It’s nothing and everything, we will never truly understand it.
It scares me and it fascinates me
No point in being afraid.
Read the Quran and you will understand it
very true
I find it comforting. It reminds me that any problem I have will never ever matter in the grand scale of the universe so I should just stop worrying and enjoy my life to the fullest until it's over
thats true but grand scale of universe isn't something you should care about you are not a celestial being. For example my parrots' in home have a very small world compared to us, when I walk in the room its a breaking news for them like something very important but its nothing to me. Your problems in life are still very important because you are not a star you are just a human. But whatever happens, even if there is no heaven to escape as long as we have the will to live anywhere can be a heaven for us yeah enjoy it as much as you can.
Ignore RedComet's reply, live your life in any way you want.
@@Captain_ZER0 well I am sorry If I said something wrong but I want everyone to live their lives as they want too but in order to do that they will have to struggle and there is no other way around
Exactly. I don’t know how people could have the anxiety and depression that they deal with or claim they have when you realize just how tiny we are, a speck in the grand scheme of things. It literally makes no sense. Just love the people around you, work your job, pay your bills and stop giving a fuck about the rest. The rest doesn’t matter, we don’t matter in the big scheme of things but in the moment we can give it meaning while we are still here.
@CHXFIT95 people don't choose if they want to have anxiety or depression as they don't choose to catch flu or they don't choose to get cancer it just happens. but you are right for the rest. just live and love as long as you are here. But I really don't like people not taking mental problems as the same level as physical ones
What I see as truly terrifying is that there is that the cosmos are finite. There is a threshold in space where literally NOTHING exists.
I absolutely agree with this. And then it dawns on me... What really is nothing? Thinking about that super deeply jumbles the fuckkk out of my thoughts 🧐🤔
Actually the known edge of existence is constantly expanding. Its happening so far away, and in an entirely different time period, so we wont ever be able to see it. But we know that it is constantly expanding. I find that extremely fascinating as well.

Instead of scaring me, it comforts me deeply. Nothing truly matters, that embarrassing moment keeping you up at night? None of it matters in the grand scale of our beautiful universe. I am so lucky to be alive, to feel, to think, to exist.
“Nothing matters, but don’t you DARE do a heckin racism!”
What when we die..
To say something doesn’t matter because it’s super small is a bad way of thinking. If anything all that matters is your decisions and consciousness
Nothing matters in a grand scheme of things, but things do matter for an individual. We should only care about stuff that matters to us, not to the entire universe.
@@PuffyRhys all depends on your prospective
I think it’s cool that you look back in time by just looking up at night. The Hubble Deep Field pullout is mind blowing as they chose one of the darkest areas and what looks like stars at first are hundreds of galaxies. Glad I came across this channel.

Or you already ARE in an existential crisis.
DPDR just arrived 😂😂🎉
I have no such weaknesses
Nah
Imagine being immortal and not being able to reach your end. Your only existence is to stare into internal void. Gives me chills. watching every star and galaxy slowly disappear before your very own eyes. watching the beauty of everything you know sluggishly turn to darkness. after ages there is nothing left for you to see, only darkness.
as a christian, i know i will be safe with god in heaven. but still the thought haunts me every day.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Like you will be alive no matter what. Floating through an endless void for eternity.
Eventually, even after a long time, though, time wouldn't matter anymore, you'll just stop thinking.
Mine is if after you die you’re just conscious with no body…
Granted with no oxygen at all you’re basically just suffering for eternity, making the black dwarfs in the video’s lifeline seem unbelievably short. The only being that exists and will ever exist forever in nothingness.
I would think an immortal person's experience of time would be warped compared to ours. For them months might feel like seconds and they would sleep for an eternity.
i’ll be so real, space just fascinates me. the fact that it’s impersonal sort of makes me feel better. it’s dope that we can even observe this and learn about it. it’s so cool we exist in this universe, even if we don’t know the who, what, how, where, and why. it’s a giant endless mystery, i love it. there’s something so comforting about space. like this is our home, this is all that we will ever know. it’s humbling, terrifying, and beautiful. it reminds me to take it easy, enjoy what i have while i’m here.
For all we know we our universe might just be a singular atom making up neurons in some greater beings brain. Shoot we know we can break things down all the way to atoms/particles/quarks so who's to say it doesn't work in opposite direction.
@@DeeEditor1 do you know what’s so weird to me? i’ve had this thought for years. i’ve seen this same comment here and there recently, too. i think that’s so odd, and it makes me very curious because how is that a speculation so many of us come to?

I will say this as a human; us being able to figure all this out is a testament to our species. We may be nothing compared to the vast dark universe but we should still be proud of everything we’ve achieved.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I kept thinking as I was watching, "or so we think" as in maybe we think we know all these things, but logic, theories, predictions, research, and even every scientific law can only take us so far and all of that means nothing when the universe, unbeknownst to us, could pull a sneaky and completely change everything we thought we knew. what I mean is, what if we just THINK we've "figured all this out" but, actually, we haven't figured out a thing?
@@cloudsoflilac9731youre right, there is much work to be done for our knowledge about our existence. I would not say the universe is pulling a sneaky as it is humanity pulling the curtain behind the curtain

Heard that too. Such a mesmerizing thought
I never really thought of that, i really forgot how HUGE space was.
True
As someone who’s always been fascinated with space, it’s interesting to see a window into astrophobia. I had no idea that so many of the things that I’ve usually looked at as cool and interesting could be so horrifying and threatening.
The xenos are scarry aswell
Same, I see how space can be intimidating for others but I’ve always been fascinated with it and would love to be able to see some of these things for myself
Trying to comprehend the sizes is making my brain freeze up. Looking up at the night sky is fear.
i was wondering how someone could fear space, then i remembered:
- i fear ghosts/dark
- i fear insects
- but i don't fear space

Exactly
kinda reminds me of the total perspective vortex in A hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy where it’s a map of the universe with a microscopic dot with an even smaller dot saying “you are here”
And now, with all of that comparison, most of our history is just wars. Since the beginning until now. It's sad.
@@lillyarts2 microscopic is an understatement
The scariest thing about these insane units of time are that they WILL happen. We tend to not comprehend it, but the space we’re in, the same universe we inhabit, will experience this passage of time. Not the universe in the video but the one you’re in. The atoms that make up your existence will be there at that time. We are just traveling towards it just very slowly.
It's a bit crazy to think that lots if not all of the atoms in our bodies already formed part of lots of living beings in the past and will form part of others in the future, those same atoms will end up in a black hole someday

Having known the scale of the universe, and concepts of quantum physics and astronomy, this is really so refreshing and brilliant take on all this. I agree with you regarding the fear of space and nothingness. It’s fearful and comforting at the same time.
I honestly find the size of the universe kinda comforting. Any action or mistake you regret will ultimately not matter in this vast empty void that will outlast anything we as humanity create
For me it put into perspective that I should enjoy life the way I want to as the universe won't be changed by anything I am doing regardless

I once knew a black dwarf. Now, before you get upset, let me explain. His name was Marcus and we were classmates. When we learned about the "life of a black dwarf" In our 7th grade classroom, even the teacher was absolutely red in the face trying to tip toe around the lesson. He didn't help either because every time she said "black dwarf"and he would respond with a "yeah, what's up?" 😂😅 He was one of the funniest kids in school and everyone loved him. I hope he's still making people smile to this day.

Looking up at the night sky always fills me with a very primal sense of dread. It's a very difficult feeling to describe, a mix of awe and beauty, but also a claustrophobic and suffocating sense of fear. Something that makes everything around you scary, it makes you want to retreat to some sort of shelter which makes me think that it's an evolutionary fear.
Bro same it’s been like a lasting impression since a certain point in life ya know
alot of astronauts actually say a similar thing. i remember one of them once looked at earth from space the first time and reported that instead of feeling the expected awe and shock, he felt an extremely overwhelming amount of dread, in his words, "like looking at a funeral"
I remember during the heat of the pandemic I had left my house after a while of not being outside and I had looked up at the night sky and I was genuinely so scared. It was beautiful but it essentially felt like I was looking into a literal void. And then I had thought about Earth’s placement in the void and it made me feel very exposed yet isolated.
I sometimes think about how scary it must be if gravity just suddenly switched off and being flung into the nothingness of space.
Holy shit bro
I actually feel the same
Whenever I look at sky specially if there are many stars I feel a bit uneasy and quickly distract myself with the surface I'm standing on, there is just something in there that feels like it's going to pull you over if you look at it too much.

I used to get that sense of "cosmic dread" whenever I'd do deep dives on the vastness of space. I recall watching videos talking about the distant future of the Universe and getting stressed out... by things that wouldn't be happening for trillions of years...
As of recent, I've instead become mystified by space and the things in it. If you think about it, space is like a desert. It looks like nothing, endless nothing, but once you get past those seemingly infinite swathes of emptiness you stumble upon an oasis. Gorgeous clouds of dust that look like paintings, glowing rings of fire that surround black holes, spectacular light shows performed by stars, both in life and death. If the Universe is truly infinite, then that means there's just as many beautiful oases as there is desert. And of course, among those oases, us. A teeny tiny, little itsy-bitsy pale blue dot.
What you said at 4:55 is something I used to think myself. "We're so insignificant and tiny." And sure, maybe we are. But I don't let that stress me like it used too because I've since realized that fact doesn't take away from how special this planet and the things on it are. UY Scuti is massive, black holes are nearly incomprehensible forces of nature, and sure planets like Saturn have rings and moons to show off. But none of them have us. Nothing has us. Life could exist out there, but until we know for sure, we're all there is. And that doesn't scare me because in a way, it makes us really important. Maybe the Universe knows no cruelty, but it also doesn't even know it own name. The Universe, the things in it, and all the laws that keep those things in check are Human discoveries. Yeah they'd exist without us, but they wouldn't be named, defined, or appreciated by anything. UY Scuti is the biggest star in the known Universe. None of that means anything without us. Sure this is an extremely Human-centric perspective, but what other perspective do we really have?
Hell even the observable Universe, when you zoom out as far as we can with out current technologies, what do you find at the center of it? Not the Milkyway, not the Solar System, not even the Earth.
You.
From your perspective, you're the center of the Universe, the thing your people have done endless work to try and understand. At the center of all of it is you.
And you know what, even if you wanna look at things from the figurative perspective of the Universe, things still look great for us! All of everything you know and love, you live and stride for, is confined to this single point in space and time. From the perspective of the Universe, you have everything you could ever need, nothing's ever quite out of reach for you. I find that so comforting.
Again I totally understand that this is a Human-centric mindset. But it's one that allows me to appreciate the massive scale of the Universe without forgetting that we're just as special as the rest of it. It's very easy to fall into the pit of "Humanity bad, Humanity insignificant" and it's very nice to claw your way out every now and then. Space is one of my favorite things, I find it so eerily beautiful. From my perspective, it is something to be respected and inspired by, not feared.
Great video! 😊 Keep it up!
Insightful comment. Glad that it was not another one of those "We are so insignificant, and awful to boot."
As a wise man once said, "we are the universe experiencing itself"
Well said man :^)
I stopped being interested in space because of that cosmic dread, but man, like a horror movie I just can't help but look. Thank you for the words stranger.
The S in Scuti stands for Superstar!
I find so much fear yet comfort in the sheer scale of the universe. I feel insignificant to the point that nothing in life matters, and everything is pointless, yet the instinct to survive and evolve is still there. Maybe there is a way to escape the death of the universe, and the universe itself is something to be born, bring new life, and pass away. The human life is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, yet it feels like forever. I am terrified of the idea of being forgotten, nothing, and left behind, but there is an odd comfort knowing that the universe will one day meet the same end and be with me.
Space is so beautifully terrifying. The sheer frustration and anger I feel that I was unable to spectate the beginning and will never get close to witnessing the end of it, just hurts.
Just think about that we will not be able to visit the next solar system in our lifetime. And its "only" around 4 lightyears away. Maybe people in 1000 years will find a solution for it. Maybe not.
Maybe you will bro, who knows if you're not the universe itself reliving it's every life?
no human being will ever be close to witness the end of the universe
Space is weird, because it’s so beautiful and pretty, yet it’s also so freaking terrifying.
I feel the horror of space is beautiful itself
Like ur crush
If you accept that nothing truly matters except for the memories you die with, it's not that terrifying. All of our lives are ultimately pointless, but we might as well live our pointless lives to their fullest
Another thing to think about, ridiculously huge creatures that control all of this. Just the exact thought of the possibility is so terrifying to me, is it a simulation, are we goldfish swimming in a tank? That is something so strange to think about because it sounds absolutely ridiculous. But if you think about it, is it really? I sound like an absolute crackhead, perhaps I am but maybe, just maybe..
The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs to make sense
"And so, it smiles"
*the most beutifull and more calming song i ever heard plays*
Once again i feel that fear of the eternal void, knowing that after dead there is probably nothing, just the eternal darkness, for the rest of infinity
Death isn’t just a never ending void though.
If death exists, your existence doesn’t so we don’t actually know what happens in the meantime till the end of times.
I'd like to think that when all life and creation has ended, that song will just start being played for the universe as a nice little lullaby
Whats the Name of this Song at the end? It really sounds relaxing.

The sound of silence except for their panicked breathing.
Really makes it hit you in the gut that there's nothing to hang onto in space, the only tangible thing is you and your own ineffectual bodily instincts to breathe and grasp etc.
To me it suggests a very profound panic thats hard to conjure in other settings.
It's like if drowning lasted weeks.
well it depends actually. you most likely will die of dehydration, and if not, hunger. you will also have the chance of your orbit around earth decaying so you fall and burn up back into the atmosphere. however, if you are lucky, orbital decay (pockets of air high above earth hitting you) will shove you back toward the spacecraft. however this is EXTREMELY slow and assumes this takes place 100km-200km above earth or another planet like it. if you are let go at 3m/s, it could take days to decay enough to grab the station

Idk why but it comforts me to feel small. It makes me feel like we have so much to learn and know
Ignoring the ocean for a minute, first time I remember fearing space;Schumacher-leavy comet hit Jupiter and left 28 earth sized holes on surface. As we watched in the 90s
The simple thumbnail, the short title. Now THATS how you get someone to click on a video.
This video made me so uncomfortable. Like talking about a baby to their mother about what's going to happen through their life. "You're only seeing it's baby steps now, but first, the eyes will go, and then finally when there's darkness in the eyes, they'll die"
What made me uncomfortable was watching theories on the meaning of life, just for them to conclude that life is ultimately meaningless. Unless you believe in God, reality is VERY depressing. Some of the top scientists/atheists in the world came to the conclusion that the only question you should be asking yourself is, "Should you kill yourself?"
@@Bud-b Yes! Not to whether you should kill yourself, but I had very similar thoughts when watching the video. It seems so incomprehensible that it was made purely with science. But if it is, I'd have zero impact and the outcome would remain.
@@Bud-b Religion is easy to get into because it gives a feeling of comfort that you wouldnt find if you stopped to think about stuff for a second
Honestly i would love to believe in the afterlife, i gain nothing from being an atheist really, in fact it only gets you in trouble in a world filled with people trying to convert you into their religion. But i just cant get myself to follow something i dont believe.
Im happy for the people who dont fear time i guess, but i personally keep thinking about it
@@doodoo2065 It wasn't "easy" to get into God for me personally. It took a lot of skepticism and research to conclude that Jesus wasn't a fraud, and what he spoke of is true. God even calls us to be skeptics. But don't take it from me. Read other religious books and compare them to come to your own conclusion. I can say from experience, though, that the deeper you go, the more your eyes will open, and putting your faith in Christ wasn't as meaningless as you thought.
@@Bud-b I used to be christian, I also remember being quite good at remembering the story of the bible lol, my teacher was happy with me
But yeah, like, im not saying jesus didnt exist or that he wasnt a good person, i just dont think there is a god, or at least, if the universe had a beginning i dont think any earth religion is despicting it correctly
The thing with the bible and other holy books is that they only make sense if you already believe that their god exists, since its supposed to be written by it. But you need that holy book to prove that god's existence too.
Proving something with what its supposed to be proving isnt the best of logics imo, it really does get silly when we are allowed to use that reasoning
the universe is so beautiful. It can make you feel so Small like nothing and make our problems seem miniscule, and at the same time it granted just the right permissions to give you the life you have today making you feel so important too.
I’ve personally never felt any kind of fear thinking of space because I know that I’d be dead long before the “fear” sets in💀
bro, we are all floating in space rn together on a rock in a void of nothing. if this does give you fear idk what does

@@Blu3drag0nnn Ehh.. there is the fact that one day a rogue Gamma Ray Burst could come from a supernova-worthy star nearby and effectively just make Earth uninhabitable, killing everyone.
Though, the thought doesn't sound too scary to me.. as we've failed as a species imo. Especially after watching Xenoshot's channel showcasing humans hilariously being "intelligent".. yet braindead humans.
@@U-L-T-R-O-N That's a little iffy tho because most GRBs are relatively rare on cosmic timescales. On average, one GRB occurs per galaxy about once every 10,000 to 1 million years.
And GRBs emit energy in narrow beams, not in all directions. The odds that one of these beams would be pointed directly at Earth are incredibly low.
I'd say it'd be more likely for us to be hit by astroids, most GRBs happen in distant galaxies, far enough away that their radiation doesn’t affect Earth.

Nah. The descriptions you give to describe your fear just fuels my astonishment that we, tiny nothings in a galaxy of galaxies, managed to /discover/ them. We as a species managed to conceptualize it to some degree, photograph it, SEE it with our own eyes through technological advancements... Like I made it to chapter 2 with my eyes watering because I'm so absolutely moved by the fact that we are alive to learn about these things in our tiny short lives. You said it yourself; Earth is perfect. The Sun is perfect. Life forming was under the perfect circumstances to happen. How miraculous it is that we have such impressive abilities to comprehend the greater things in and out of our planet.
I think Black Holes are the scariest things in space, but Space itself doesn't scare me. I'm actually in love with Space.
If you want something to fear, well... look to our own planet's seas. I don't personally have a phobia of the seas but I acknowledge how scary that shit is. We know more about outer space than we do our seas and we live here. And it's an actual, tangible threat whether you're on a beach or on a boat compared to space. And we have triumphant discoveries in that area too, I'm not saying it's any less fascinating, but it's definitely scarier than space ever could be. At least, in my opinion.
Beautiful video essay nevertheless. It takes a lot to bring me to tears 😂
Where the video maker feels existential terror, I just feel wonder

@@michaelatlas2341what does that have to do with the comment?
I actually have basically the opposite opinion, and I'm really curious if anyone else feels the same. I COMPLETELY understand thinking of space as cold and empty but for some reason I think of it as just so alive, warm, and beautiful, even if "warm" might be literally just an objectively incorrect statement. I'm absolutely obsessed with space, and have been for as long as I can remember, which might be why I feel so positively about it, maybe out of a sense of nostalgia. I think the solar system is just so beautiful. I know Jupiter would absolutely annihilate a human, but I don't really find that scary because we're not meant to be there. If there are aliens, I'm sure there's plenty out there that would think of Earth as a hellscape for whatever reason. The gas giants almost feel like huge beautiful machines, just these giant storms churning away. As for the vast distances of space, sure things are really far apart, but they're still connected. We orbit the sun, which orbits the center of the Milkyway, and everything's a part of the same universe! I'm not quite sure why or fucking how, but the universe feels oddly cozy to me. The Milkyway feels almost like a town we live in. It's big and I haven't been to most of it, but I live here so it feels like home, yah know? IDK maybe I'm just silly but I feel like the universe can be thought about in different ways. Thinking about it as a cold mostly empty void that is slowly falling to entropy, yeah, that's horrifying, but I don't think that's the only way of thinking about it. You can think about humans as biological machines biding our time until we fall to entropy, oooorrrr you can think about humans some inspiring pretty way that I'm too lazy to think of, but you know what I mean. Point is I think the universe can be thought of in a similar way. Sure some stuff is bigger in size, but we're as much of a part of it as anything else. I'm kinda losing my train of thought and don't wanna read back over this lmao but you get my point, i think space is beautiful and cozy for some reason and i love it. Not saying this to be like "THIS VIDEO IS DUMB AND WRONG!! >:(" I really enjoyed the video! I fucking love space so anything talking about it is super cool!! and because i love space, idk i wanted to offer my weird point of view. I think it can be thought of as beautiful and cozy if you think about it the right way or are just crazy like me i guess lmao
I have the same feelings!

Pure bliss? If you were floating through Bootes Void, your blood would boil and your body would freeze solid, but you wouldn't feel it because by the time that happens you would have already exploded into atoms from the pressure difference.

Oh sure, but at some point the bowl will become empty. And from then on, the bliss will give way to dread. Only you, the absolute vastness and darkness of pure nothing, and an empty bowl of mac and cheese.
This video made me realize how scary space really is the point where you said “void” made me shiver. I am scared of death itself so when you said atlast everything would be gone is terrifying. Thank you for such a good video.
God’s in control, trust Him, have no fear ❤❤❤
(John 3:16)
The picture he showed is actually a dust cloud. The real void is much bigger, but it's invisible since there's nothing in it. I don't blame him for thinking that's the void becuase thats the Clipart all the media people use.
I like space, stars and planets because they are so so beyond all the earth bound stupidity I'm trapped inside. I like that they're bigger than us, that they are more powerful, that they are indescribable
Maybe the world could be better if people had more contact with the good old existencial crisis space gives us.
@the.seagull.35 yes!
At the end of the day, we're all but tiny specs of dust floating through space. It was all here before we appeared and it will all still be here after we are gone. It's a recomforting thought to me.
Ain't nothing stupid about our Earth we got here

It’s a very thought provoking video and well explained in scale to a certain degree. Space is so unfathomably large and incomprehensible, that I feel like we will never truly know how, when or even if the cosmos will end

As someone who is terrified by the endless, impossible void our planet is surrounded by, I'm obsessed with it. It's beautiful, but ugly. It's unknown, but we know it. The size of our galaxy alone is petrifying.
Jupiter being purely gas is just sooo terrifying and gives me a sense of helplessness
Yea
No it doesn’t u just want likes and are copying shit from the video how does a ball of gas make u helpless 😂
So spooky
I am happy that Jupiter exists because it protects the inner solar system (earth included) from a barrage of large asteroids. Jupiter's strong gravitational force redirects most of these asteroids into its gassy surface, crashing there into oblivion. I think Jupiter is a protective celestial entity that we should be thankful it exists.
Liquid metallic hydrogen is the scariest part of gas giants imo
Congratulations for the brilliant video. I have no words. Just perfect. Uncluding the music. It is rare to find videos like this one.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
"And so, it smiles" is the most beautiful words I could imagine from a video about space and how terrifying it could be.
I added this to my greatest videos playlist. I'm so literally fascinated by space! It is so infinitesimally more Grand than we could ever imagine. It really puts into perspective how all of our little problems that we make the world of are as of nothing compare it to what's going on in the rest of the universe. It really makes me want to be a better person and treat all of my family human beings more kindly. I hope other people can gain this perspective as well.
This video is so incredibly well written. There are so many videos that attempt to effectively put the universe into perspective, and some do it very well, but this video does it perfectly. Very well done. Incredible.

Great video. When I feel overwhelmed by life I like to watch videos about the universe, it puts life into perspective and I realize my earth problems are bullshit. And somehow I find peace.
I feel like life is the thing that feels suffocating to me. The mysteries of the universe and its vastness makes me feel calm and hopeful.
The production on this video is absolutely amazing
I recommend ppl to watch this in night, in my room, alone, with lights off, door closed and locked
We are the creation of the universe that has become self aware and can’t escape it.
it doesnt scare me, but its a feeling like no other.
You should be scared. Almost all creatures, humans, animals, perhaps protozoa (anything with a modicum of sentience) goes into the center of UY Scuti after death. That is what "Hell" is about. 325 million miles deep. No hope to ever burrow out, but you are compelled to attempt it, again and again for eternity. To burn and scream forever. And this is the _default_ final existence for almost all life.
Moments when life doesn't feel real

That’s how good it is. Good job. U prolly wont read it but if u do i wish u the best in life. And keep up the good work
i absolutely looooooved learning about hawking radiation a few years ago, such an interesting topic!!!
The thing i find the strangest is us, we can see, smell, hear, and feel things that aren't meant to be seen, smelled, heard, or felt. Because we are also just a part of the universe. We're made of the same things that everything else is made of, which i feel like people forget. People look up instead of down and say how they feel instead of why they feel. What bothers me the most is why anything even exists in the first place, it's so strange, why did the big bang happen? (Or whatever it was that created this) And if this has been around forever I'd be even more confused. I dont think anybody should be scared of space or existing. Nothing is random, nothing is meant to be, we're all just here and we matter as much as the ground we stand on. It's only humans that make things matter, nobody and nothing cares except for us and there's no reason to care. Everything just *is.* And it's not weird, we think it is but it isn't, it's natural. Idk I find it weird how we can actually experience stuff and find meaning in it, I wanna go back to the old me before I got into this stuff, then I wouldn't "care" so much about how things in fact didn't matter.
Thats the exact same thing i was thinking man, before Big Bang something had to happen to make It happen
You're not alone in this! Its Def us that's the weird thing. We are conscious and aware for some reason, but none of us know why. We just get these senses, and experiences, even though we are technically no different than a tree or a star in the eyes of the universe.
Humans add meaning because we have these experiences and awareness but in the big picture absolutely none of it matters. We are the universe having a human experience and that's all we know.
Its weird to sit here as a human and realise these things. Definitely used to scare me a lot to think about it, but tbh I find great comfort in knowing that I'm essentially irrelevant in the grand scheme. I'm only relevant in an earthly sense, which is tiny. I matter to me because I make it matter.
Idk why I find that comforting but I do. I'm just a speck.
@@ciaraskeleton yup, all these realizations and yet my fear of harmless invisible ghosts is still there
@@kingthepro1420I like to think it's been there all time and the big bang happened due to quantum fluctuations

@@alexgonzaga7855 do explain the point
I feel sorry for anyone who truly feels this way about our place in the universe. I understand all the dangers in the vastness of space, but I don't lose sleep about the outside dangers that we'll never encounter.
It's like being afraid of polar bears here where most of us live. Or being afraid of Alligators when you live near the north pole.
I noticed you said, WE can not handle the thought of essentially nothing. And how the empty vastness of space between galaxies is the closest thing to nothing.
I do not feel that way at all. If I was trapped in the void, the void is still something to me.
The only thought of nothing that bothers me, is when I try to think of a memory from before I was born.
Now That. is true terrifying nothingness
I'll take being stranded anywhere in space over that thought any day.
Theory when the last black sun explodes the universe rests, this event will be called the big slumber. A day last 24 hours so the universe will rest for 24 trillion years, and then its wakes up again and the Big Bang happens all over again
The pure amount of things so so much bigger than us, to the point we're not even a dust particle, nor even a bacteria or virus. We are literally nothing in comparison to our own home. And then we remember how many smaller objects than us there are, most likely also too small for us to see.
Universe is an expending mystery that starts with the smallest objects and goes for eternity and beyond. And we won't even know for sure, it could have happened before. And might happen again. But the emount of time that would pass would be so huge a number wouldn;t be able to show it.
It's scary, and beautiful in a way.
It truly is mind boggling to consider that this may not be the first universe to exist, which could explain the incredible luck we get to see everything from the (almost) beginning. It's kind of like that theory that says when we die we relive life the exact same way we lived with no knowledge of it, not a single trail.
Exactly. Even our galaxy is nothing. If it dissappeared nothing would notice.
Ah I remember my existential crisis teenage phase. Rough one. Compared to the universe, the collective existence of all life on Earth is humiliatingly smaller than the tiniest particle. Human existence is truly nothing in the grand scheme of things.
But nonetheless, the fact that we're here, right here, right now, with our own individual existences, with all of our unique experiences, thoughts, and feelings, makes us special.
Okay, that last bit was actually profoundly moving

8:30 Just real quick, this image is not the Boötes Void. This is a dark nebula. It's most likely Barnard 68, a nebular that is often mistaken as the Boötes Void (although, it is a really good image to put into scale just how vast it is).

Thanks! Yeah a few people pointed that out i wish I could change it at this point but these comments help others to know
These artistic pictures can be misleading very often.
Likewise with Y Scuti.
That Sun might be very large but only ten times as dense as our sun and half that hot, that wouldn't even melt some rare metals.
And it's surface probably is more like an amorphous blob.
So basically it's a very hot cloud at the end of it's lifetime. It's not just "our sun but x times bigger".
Bootes void isnt empty, just less populated

No seriously, that was awesome. I’m subscribing now
I’ve watched a lot of space videos meant to give you an existential crisis, and this is the only one that actually did.
Space truly is scary. The size and distance between things. The thought of getting lost in space. Or being on a collision course with Jupiter or the sun or some other star. It's always been a little bit terrifying.
i have always had a great fear of the ocean & deep space not sure why but both are like an abyss & the fact that we are floating around by ourselves is just terrifying!
