Hey Everybody! So this video is a remake and remaster of an older video that has a mistake in it. You can watch the original here: ruclips.net/video/ZL4yYHdDSWs/видео.html What is the mistake? In a nutshell: In the original video we said that it was PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the local group and reach other galaxy groups. That the rest of the universe is moving away from us too fast to catch up. But that’s wrong. It is not PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the Local Group, just extremely unlikely that we’ll ever do it. BUT: If you have a lot of time and a fast spaceship you can still get to a limited amount of galaxies - these galaxies will eventually get out of reach forever but until then, they are technically within reach. So why did we keep the video up and didn’t purge it when we deleted our addiction and refugee crisis videos? Well, it has to do with the nature and severity of the mistake: We did talk to a few astrophysicists to ask them what they thought and if we should take down the video. Their feedback was pretty clear, they thought it was still fine as the universe expansion things explained in the video are correct and they didn’t consider the local group thing as too major. This was actually a case of “good enough”. Also, back when this original upload happened, Kurzgesagt was operating at pretty tight margins and just redoing a video was not easy for us. Back then the team was small and we were fighting to put new videos out. So we just swallowed the bitter pill and kept the video around. But the video still bothered us, as far as we know this was the biggest unfixed mistake on the channel. Super frustrating, especially because the core idea of the video is so fascinating. The limit of our species. The actual limit. So yeah, we finally remade the video, sorry for taking this long, life got in the way. The original video will stay up, you can compare the two if you want to see how far we have come in a few years in terms of production quality. All in all, we could only grow the channel and work on getting better because of direct support from you guys. So thank you for that. - Philipp PS: If you want, check out our shop for some new posters about the universe posters and black hole plushies and stuff like that: kgs.link/shop-142
Their content is more and more improved right now. If we look back, there's another content that's need months and motnhs to make. But now, maybe just few weeks. And they're told us: "Sorry, we're not machine, but this is the best we can do" No dude, take your time. We need your quality, not some random quantity.
I agree but theyre are doing a lot of rehashing old videos nowadays - 90% of the stuff in this one was in the limits of humanit video from a few years ago - time for some new content i reckon.
"94% of the galaxies that we can see are already unreachable" ... that's not even taking into account the 100% of the un-observable universe that's out there.
I think only a handful of stars are actually reachable to humans. If we are ever able to travel at almost the speed of light, a 4 year journey to Proxima Centauri would be possible, but travelling accross the milky way for thousands of years in a ship is unfeasible. I really really hope Einstein is wrong and faster than light travel is somehow possible
@@raphabl1389 maybe we'll develop some kind of Alcubierre drive that will let us travel faster than light. Although neither of us will live long enough to see it, so don't worry 🙃
@@raphabl1389 well if we can make starships that can travel through the Galaxy, we could also make ourselves more durable bodies that won't die every 90 years or so. At the moment we can do neither. But uploading our brains to artificial bodies (kind of like Avatar the movie) seems easier than intergalactic travel at the speed of light. If we could ever do the latter, we would probably already have done the former. So you could undertake a 1000 year journey without worrying about old age.
@canopus_reborn thanks for letting me borrowed your lambo the other day brother, btw the stock you gave me went UP i can pay for my mother's medical bill now 🙏🏿🤝🏿💪🏿🖤
@@vldmt2720 I was so depressed watching this, just to bust out laughing at “Milkdromeda” Welcome to another episode of "What's going to give me an existential crisis?" It feels like they are explaining something from a movie while it is in fact real life. 😂 The phrase "Our galaxy is certainly big enough to entertain humanity" gives serious existential crisis vibes.
I cannot believe the level of production that goes into these videos. From the animations, to the incredibly well-researched scripts, to the CUSTOM MUSIC??? This is without a doubt, one of the most impressive channels on the platform. Never stop making videos.
The universe, where we are, has a theoretical start date. I think that our universe is a newborn, microscopic speck in a random tiny area in the cosmos. And the grand cosmos itself is everything else outside of our universe. And I believe this infinitesimal cosmos is an empty, black, matter less, timeless space that forever goes in all directions eternally and is a realm that has always existed, with no beginning. And has made and housed many other universes more than trillions of quadrillions of times, throughout the trillions of quadrillions or more years ago, since the cosmos was always there ..
I like the videos, they give me hope but don't make me think that humanity is destiny to be gods. But if we are stuck with tictok we are gonna go nowhere lol
Okay so effectively the universe is like a human brain when you're young dence with galaxies and stars/synapses and brain cells. When you're old all the stars / Brain cells are gone (or receding) and you eventually end up alone in the dark as your situational awareness dims to just your own sphere of influence.
You should try SEA channel if you *really* want to know how the existential crisis from a scientific youtube video can feel like. "Cosmic scale" is a nice place to begin with (:
You mean the observable universe. We literally cannot start speaking about the whole universe (given that this phrase even makes sense) for we have no way of knowing what percentage of the whole universe is actually observable for us.
Having full transparency is simply refreshing and is why I value the content you create. Mistakes are in fact unavoidable especially with such complicated topics and in-depth science. Which as we all know is evolving over time as more technological advances are developed and as a direct result more accurate information is available. I applaud you and I hope all platforms including the government and social media companies as a whole follow your lead and provide its constituents the same honesty. After all we are but monkeys with good ideas trying to figure out life's deepest and most philosophical questions and values. No one expects the ultimate truth; they demands the utmost honesty and humility. That can be understood, but to claim to be all knowing even after being proven wrong is just insulting. I one hundred percent encourage that you keep the old video up for comparison, you pin a comment for clarification; BUT also tag a link to the updated video for true transparency and be able to access the most accurate version with no confusion. This increases your views, as well as the quality of your connection with your audience. If everyone operated this way companies would be considered more reputable and believable. Well done ❤
the night sky is about only 3000 light years radius, so it will be ok until the dark energy overcomes the gravity on these distances which will happen probably long after all the stars die
we all feel a little bit FoMo when it comes to the universe, im a bit disappointed that ill miss the sight of Andromeda filling the night sky where as rn its only a barely visible speck
The biggest bummer to me is knowing that I'll never truly see how far humanity will go. It's like joining a game half way through and leaving before it ends. There's no closure to that.
Even if the premise and content of this video were incorrect, you're still not going to see much because you're a blipping human. (My mistake if you're an alien or A.I.)
This was horrendously beautiful! I don't know what I liked more, whether the information itself or the fact that you acknowledged making mistakes in the previous video. Thank you so much for such fantastic videos and information you provide us with as well as the way you do it. You are an amazing team. Congratulations.
I love content creators who can say “Hey, we were wrong, we are sorry for that. Here is a new video correcting our mistake.” It shows not only a high level of dedication but trust between content creators and their viewers. Bravo my friends, bravo! 😁
Lol 90 percent of their videos are just unproven conjecture. It literally is based on hypotheses and not factual in any way. Tomorrow most of them will be disproven. I'd think people would watch these as imagination exercises and not like a scientifical cult
@Darkfarfetch and how is this not high quality content? The information is correct, fact checked, delivered to us in a way so that everyone can understand and it's entertaining. Where's the flaw?
@@theultimatechampion154 Probably cause they simplify it too much? If that's the case, then they should just go out and learn it in details for themselves
everybody feels existential dread from these types of videos and here I am feeling a sense of peace, it's something beautiful about living in a world that we will never know how big it truly is. we will never truly know what came before us and what'll come after. all we have is right now. we are just specks in the universe, no more significant to it than two grains of sand are to us. I find a strange comfort in knowing we are apart of something much larger than we will ever be
@@spumbibjorn I think it has to do with knowing that humans are so very small compared to the Universe they live in. It's the limitations of our species and, in fact, our own sad fate to one day become extinct. It might relate to our fear of death and our futile dreams of being immortal and all-powerful one day. Tho I'm with you on this one. Even one galaxy is enough and our species is bound to go extinct long before any of that stuff becomes relevant anyway. I mean, I'd be happy if we ever manage to colonize another planet before going extinct.
The original kurzgesagt channel is German, and they neither have ads nor a shop because they belong to one of the RUclips channels that are publicly funded. We have a tax to fund certain media outlets (I think only TV channels a while ago), but now also several RUclips channels are paid with this money, which is honestly great.
There is no reason this should be a sad thought, it is the way of things, if there were previous civilizations before us there will be more after, one will inevitably prosper indefinitely, maybe
When at the end he mentioned how future civilizations might only think the universe contains their galaxy...and that it doesn't move...it made me wonder how much we've missed during the times before humans existed. It makes me wonder how much of a grasp we really have on how the universe works. I really hope we can somehow preserve what information we have for future civilizations
@@Scugzerker Not sure they're going to last long enough, or that the information won't be corrupted somehow. We only got a fraction of what was written in antiquity, and the digital age make it even worse. There are no Rosetta stone that could explain to a civilization without computer how to extract data from a dusty hard drive.
well thats unfortunate. I bet I missed the chance to hang out with at least a billion cool and fun aliens. we could have worried about the future of the universe together...
@Jou t6 Flawed judgement. Temperature is a measure of particles' kinetic energy. When temperature is at the lowest (-273.15⁰K), the particles are still. On the hottest end of the spectrum, the speed of the particles is bound by the speed of light. TLDR: The hottest temperature is dictated by the speed of light.
Does it make me weird to consider all of this time and time again, but everytime I only feel comfort knowing that in truth, nothing I really do now affects the bigger picture. True peace 🙏🏾
Totally agree. Awesome animation, good information and everything told by a great narrator. Easy to comprehend, even though comprohension on this subject is relative
"In the future, they will think there is only one universe, created from their local big bang." - An ancient advanced civilization, trillions of years ago.
Hugely appreciate the integrity of this channel. The hard, labourious hours spent remodelling this video just is a credit to your whole team behind the channel. You're the role model of excellence
Shout out to Kurzgesagt to being committed to facts and acknowledging when they have made a mistake. How rare that is these days. It is so greatly appreciated and shows that you care about your content. Bravo!
I prefer the simpler animations being used in clever and creative ways, personally. It's what makes this channel special and unique for me. There are a million channels with fancy animations.
@@samisikdar5417 we won’t, the horizon is around us, for example when you are stood on earth the horizon is always the same distance away all around, even if you move
these types of vids never cease to give me chills, it always drags me back from that uncomprehensible sense of fear of maybe dying? Or is it the dying part or the millions of surging unanswered questions that will never be enlightened with these mortal lives we've got. Had always relied on the philosophy of Socrates regarding death (much better than the hell and heaven of every religions out there) but guess there are holes that will never be covered by these mere philosophies. Based here I think we all have these answers because we rely only on one medium which is the use of light, but I think we should like to explore more on these so called dark energy in order to understand this universe even more, as we're kind of already reaching the dead end of studying this universe through that medium which is the light.
I hope you never stop looking for truth. There is a God who loves you and sent His Son to die for you. There is evidence of Christianity. I would greatly encourage you to look into Lee Strobel's Case for Christ which details the reasons he (a former atheist) converted to Christianity through the research that he was doing to write an article (for the Chicago Tribune where he worked) to actually disprove Christianity to prove to his wife that her beliefs were juvenile and naive. Essentially he failed. Also, William Lane Craig has great resources on God and Cosmology. I understand that comment sections aren't really the greatest places for conversations on this and that your comment really wasn't about religion, and it's your decision on whether to take anything I said seriously, on what you believe in, etc. I just felt like I should leave this comment here. Like I said, never stop searching for the truth, that being said I hope you have a good day!
Our current view of physics is very limited to be fair, we haven’t left our own planet so we don’t even actually know of physics works the same in the rest of the universe, of corse we can test and observe as much as we’re able and we can collect all the information we can get to come to conclusions, but almost everything we know about physics isn’t final, there are so very few things we can say for absolute certainty when it comes to the laws of physics and how the universe really works that nothing we know now is final, I personally believe one day maybe once we have reached the boarder of our galaxy, if humanity, or what ever we have collectively evolved into, will find a way to surpass the limit that is the speed of light, and we will be able to illuminate the rest of the universe again, maybe by then we will have learned how to manipulate gravity in a way we will be able to pull the super cluster back together again, or simply we will learn how to cross the whole universe and see all of it, we can never really know what the future brings
I also think that we could surpass the limits of physics one day, but that’s assuming that we make it that far. Unfortunately there’s a chance that civilization ends itself or maybe an event could end all of humanity like an asteroid or a nuclear war, which would also be caused by ourselves. I think that right now we just need to focus on coming together as a species and fixing our planet and way of life so that we have a much better chance of actually achieving the goals of breaking the speed of light and such. Nice comment tho 👍
He's a nice little time paradox humanity eventually learns how to go back in time all the alien sightings are actually true it's just other humanity making sure we evolve in the right way. Now I see the giant paradox. Unless it's the way they do it in the avengers where he is someone else's timeline. You never know.

I love this channel for some of their quality contents, but they don't usually admit their mistakes and it really bothers me how much misinformation they have spread.
Ok so basically what your saying is that it is impossible to travel past the ‘event horizon’ of our local group and then travel to another one as the universe is expanding at the speed of light and maybe even faster. But what if maybe in a few ten thousand years if we have the technology to create wormholes if that is even possible (is it?) would we be able to bend space and time to then travel to other groups so there would be no need to travel faster than light which is theoretically impossible. Please someone answer I am desperate for answers haha
It's never about reaching.....Voyager 1 has GONE OUT OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM!...the part where we struggle is that human would need a lot of supplies if it wants to reach somewhere away....even at good speeds travelling will take hundereds Of human years
We just need to accelerate the spaceship enough....we will be travelling in space where no force is being applied so it will keep moving in the direction without the need of any fuel.
Maybe if we start exploring certain places we barely go to such as idk... Every ocean that surrounds every continent on earth, we might find some new type of resource/s that will enhance the spaceships and allow us to explore space easier. Who knows we dont care about it enough even less the state of the planet.
I kind of find it difficult to believe that statement. I imagine us being very similar to that far in the future civilization that will only be able to see its own galaxy. What if our civilization emerged just a couple billion years too late to see some other amazing universal artifacts that will forever remain impossible for us to imagine. Imagine how much more we would know if we emerged sooner. Unfortunately, our scope of knowledge will forever be limited to our current perception.
I love how they remake a whole video just for a tiny mistake and they do it not only better but explains why they do it, that's true dedication. Thank you
It makes you wonder what the point is then. If there's an eternal limit to how far we can explore, then we'll eventually hit that limit given enough time passes. One thing that has always been at the back of my mind when thinking of meaning is that the vastness of space, especially since it is expanding (aka, making more) would be the path for humanity to keep trucking along into when everything is done/killed off from the moment prior (Earth, Sun, next planets that are explored, etc;), thereby always ensuring that prior achievements/things obtained will have it's purpose to further along that journey long after you and your future generations are gone. But since there's a limit, that we'll eventually touch everything (in an ideal world, no pun intended), then there's no new "stage" to reach for when previous stages expire, and everything in the universe has a shelf life. Therefore, what previously gave meaning as a void that would eventually open new opportunities for said moments to continue to be actualized, is now a door shut in advance which strips away any meaning humanity used to fall back on altogether.
Serious answer: we may not be able to expand our view distance chunks. But there is a chance we can "move" fast enough to load more chunks. This video was made with lightspeed as the absolute limit. It is possible that we may be able to "move" in different ways in the future
I know we're all comforted and depressed, but it keeps us humble, right? There's something beautiful about knowing there's still an unexplored world out there when it's all over.
Those are barriers to overcome. The surface of the planet ist a barrier. The extend of the Solar System another. The local bubble is the next. And so on. Overcoming each of those obstacles will require huge technological innovation. By the time we'd be able to colonize the local group, mankind would've been transformed already entirely, face much different problems and think much different aswell.
Not to mention; though it seems unfathomable that laws of physics can be bent or broken, as a species we are also still largely unawares of everything that's out there. Be they particles, energies and reactions. (Think of the fairly recent discovery of the Higgs-Bosun particle). Then there is the scientific community not knowing what happened in the first few seconds of the Big Bang, let alone what was, or wasn't there before the big bang. Who knows which of those discoveries might radically alter our understanding of the universe and how it might affect our own limitations in it (for better or worse). After all, if you explained the world of today to someone from 1921 he or she would give you some very odd looks indeed. Never mind someone from 1021 or 2021BC! All of this to say, life and the universe, will be full of surprises regardless. Now you must excuse me, as I just realized I am not really a hyper-motivated creature...there's a 3x4m guest room that needs exploring, cleaning, and scouring. For some reason that chore -isn't- receding :(.
Well... If we take a picture of those galaxies look like today and look at them in a few billion years, we’ll see what they looked like today! Edit: Whoops! This is wrong. Thanks for pointing it out iZetto!
@@Jolmex Unless you travel to these galaxies directly, that doesn't make any sense because you're taking a picture of the old light. In a few billion years, a completely new source of light will appear, and it'll look different.
@@iZetto1 Oh yeah that’s true. In order to to see what the stars look like today, you’d have to find the amount of light years those stars are away from us and wait that amount of years to see what they looked like today. However that would be way into the future so we would never really know what they look like in the moment we are looking at them.
Ah, yes, the quality side of RUclips. I wish there was something like an Emmys for RUclips, with the prestige they deserve. Your production value and eye for detail and overall quality is just pure platinum, cuz gold is just too little for you guys 😂💚
Today I realized we are so incredibly tiny in the universe. We are like molecules in a human body, and even smaller. For sure living species on other planets exist by now, but maybe it's just as hard for them to reach us as it is for us to reach them
@@cloudfish1829 The universe is infinite. Life in it is eternal, it adapts, it always changes and goes through infinite cycles. A balance of life, death and new beginning that spreads throughout the eternity of the universe. that is the beauty of eternity. Watch the Janus point of Juan barbour.

I think it's about immortality. Passing teenage years we accpet that we are mortal and that is okay. Our children, our society, or just our specie will be there. This video show that not only that is false, but even life itself, and light itself are just a passing project.
This vid made me sad and somewhat appreciative all at once. Just knowing that in the future the things we see in our skies now they won’t see. It will literally just be darkness. Scientists spent so much time wondering if we were alone in the universe so imagine not seeing anything lol makes me really appreciate the stars and lights we get to see now.
They’ll all still have their own local groups, which is plenty of room to look for other civilizations. But that’ll be it; as far as they’ll know their local group is all there was or ever will be. And that could severely limit their knowledge of the Universe. Our local group has a radius of 5,000,000 light years, so a future civilization in the Milky Way could only see that far into the past.

I told a friend that I was getting an existential crisis from watching this, and their first reaction was "Oooh, can I see it?" We all love Kurzgesagt.
This is why Kuzgesagt is one of the most respected channels on RUclips. When they recognised they'd made a mistake in a video, they put in hundreds of hours to remake the ENTIRE VIDEO to rectify it. That is dedication, through and through. If I make a mistake on any of my videos I wouldn't go to such lengths lol
heh, don't worry, FTL is starting to become a real possiblity especialy since wrap bubbles were proven to be feasible.. we just don't know if we can make a wrap bubble or how to make it move, but once we solve those, we will literally be able to move faster than lightspeed
@@chessprovoko5785 Ever heard of an Alcubierre drive? I think Einstein came up with the theory, and it uses exotic matter to travel faster than light. Although it's theoretical, the only reason we currently believe it wouldn't work is that the amount of energy it would take to get the exotic matter would burn itself up.
me : "It's probably not possible to make a video that is depressing, informative, fun and positive at the same time!" Kurzgesagt : "Hold my bird seeds"
Never say never because there is still a chance we will learn something new about the universe that one day could help us pass this boundary or do something greater.
So strange how upsetting this video feels. It gives you this sense of loneliness, like "we'll never really discover the whole universe." For some reason we want to, even though we can't and definitely don't need to.
am i actually the only one who loves this feeling. It makes me incredibly humble. I love to watch all these spiritual fuckers trying to make sense of the universe even though we can't even study a fraction of it.
@@samisikdar5417 They still exist. We just won't be able to reach or even perceive them by any known or conceivable means. It's the same thing as something passing a black hole's event horizon minus the destruction involved.
I'd say we are lonely. We spend our entire lives trying not to be and I'd say this is more of the same on a cosmic scale. There's a bunch of civilizations we won't ever know and unless something next level changed in the future, our reach will remain limited.
It is the only reason we still exist as a species. If you think that's a bad thing.....well, i feel sorry for you. Apathy and self annihilation are not answers, they are escapes. On a less aggressive note, for almost every self created tragedy and mishap throughout history we've maybe made up for half of them...maybe less than half, but as a species we are no more aware of our falts and follies than ever before, so I believe there is hope to continue on though...even if this video proves that some hope is out of reach, and by some, I mean 90+% of 'hope' ....ugh... I may take up drinking haha
@Tate Delton It was a political statement and you were absolutely virtue signaling. You want to help with the pollution, buy a Tesla and vote for nuclear power so we can push ourselves into renewable energy faster than just sitting and using the shitty wind power that hardly even works in places like California. P.S. Drop the “holier than thou” attitude.
@Tate Delton Yeah, I’m not sure if that’ll ever be a topic that gains any traction, either. I’ve only lived in one area for about a year that had basically none and the night sky was pretty awesome. Never saw it like that again until my deployment 15 years later. 🤣
I know this limit for humanity doesn´t really affect my life today but I got really sad watching this... Humanity dreams of getting to know everything is something that resonates deeply with me. I got tears! Great work!!
If humanity doesn't shit itself into oblivion even after 2000-3000+ years. Maybe they could invent Teleportation technology where distance no longer matters anymore. If the earliest humans where alive today, they too, would think that the technology we have now is impossible to create in their era.
they really said sorry after spending like 12,000 hours making a 12 minute video filled with cool information, great animation, and all around amazing production
@@orpheustakenvanced we are all so lucky to have it, If they wanted the could have done it the old fashioned way, where the host appears on a green screen and gives a presentation. But Kurzgesagt is Kurzgesagt, doing it the hard way, animation is difficult to provide but they never compromised quality over quantity.
*SciFi-ing soft enough (Hard SciFi refers to a subgenere of SciFi which puts extreme emphasis on real physics) If you mention FTL to hard SciFi fans they will feed you to psychophages.
either way the only way to reach places that distant is to figure out a totally new way to travel which is far faster than light, so if we could ever go to the galaxies at that border we can most definitely go past it.
@@Ben-rz9cf A different narrator would suck and be very noticeable, but after awhile it wouldn’t feel any different than the narrator we have now. As long as the quality stays the same, I have no problems with them getting a new narrator.
@@slayzer4526 Nah, in the future they would just use ai to have the current narrators voice exist eternally. It certainly would be completely possible and practically un-noticeable :)
When a scientist says something is possible, they are probably right. When they say something is impossible, they are definitely wrong. The limits of my world are the limits of my imagination and will.
"The whole universe is depressing and you cannot do anything about it. . . But anyway, you can enjoy your life on earth, you little insect" - Every Kurzgesagt video ever.
You guys don't need to apologize :'( Your work is amazing and we're all thankful you can provide this information to us in the most incredible manner. Thank you Kurzgesagt
Disagree, so you're wrong; How about speak for yourself instead of being like you are; how about you realize how abused and corrupted you are, so much so that you and the majority continue to abuse and corrupt innocent and vulnerable children who didn't choose to exist nor be abused and harmed by abused and corrupted people - like us all - which I know for aa fact and therefore I will speak for us all.
Hey Everybody! So this video is a remake and remaster of an older video that has a mistake in it. You can watch the original here: ruclips.net/video/ZL4yYHdDSWs/видео.html
What is the mistake? In a nutshell: In the original video we said that it was PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the local group and reach other galaxy groups. That the rest of the universe is moving away from us too fast to catch up. But that’s wrong. It is not PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the Local Group, just extremely unlikely that we’ll ever do it.
BUT: If you have a lot of time and a fast spaceship you can still get to a limited amount of galaxies - these galaxies will eventually get out of reach forever but until then, they are technically within reach. So why did we keep the video up and didn’t purge it when we deleted our addiction and refugee crisis videos?
Well, it has to do with the nature and severity of the mistake: We did talk to a few astrophysicists to ask them what they thought and if we should take down the video. Their feedback was pretty clear, they thought it was still fine as the universe expansion things explained in the video are correct and they didn’t consider the local group thing as too major. This was actually a case of “good enough”.
Also, back when this original upload happened, Kurzgesagt was operating at pretty tight margins and just redoing a video was not easy for us. Back then the team was small and we were fighting to put new videos out. So we just swallowed the bitter pill and kept the video around.
But the video still bothered us, as far as we know this was the biggest unfixed mistake on the channel. Super frustrating, especially because the core idea of the video is so fascinating. The limit of our species. The actual limit. So yeah, we finally remade the video, sorry for taking this long, life got in the way.
The original video will stay up, you can compare the two if you want to see how far we have come in a few years in terms of production quality. All in all, we could only grow the channel and work on getting better because of direct support from you guys. So thank you for that. - Philipp

"94% of the galaxies that we can see are already unreachable" ... that's not even taking into account the 100% of the un-observable universe that's out there.
Well, we don’t know how large that is.
I think only a handful of stars are actually reachable to humans. If we are ever able to travel at almost the speed of light, a 4 year journey to Proxima Centauri would be possible, but travelling accross the milky way for thousands of years in a ship is unfeasible.
I really really hope Einstein is wrong and faster than light travel is somehow possible
@@raphabl1389 maybe we'll develop some kind of Alcubierre drive that will let us travel faster than light. Although neither of us will live long enough to see it, so don't worry 🙃
Can't miss what you never had
@@raphabl1389 well if we can make starships that can travel through the Galaxy, we could also make ourselves more durable bodies that won't die every 90 years or so. At the moment we can do neither. But uploading our brains to artificial bodies (kind of like Avatar the movie) seems easier than intergalactic travel at the speed of light. If we could ever do the latter, we would probably already have done the former. So you could undertake a 1000 year journey without worrying about old age.

*existential crisis intensifies*
holy shit
bro...
9:00 this part made me wander if theres somthing that we dont know about that happend before the big bang and im pretty sure there is
The universe, where we are, has a theoretical start date. I think that our universe is a newborn, microscopic speck in a random tiny area in the cosmos. And the grand cosmos itself is everything else outside of our universe. And I believe this infinitesimal cosmos is an empty, black, matter less, timeless space that forever goes in all directions eternally and is a realm that has always existed, with no beginning. And has made and housed many other universes more than trillions of quadrillions of times, throughout the trillions of quadrillions or more years ago, since the cosmos was always there ..
Plot twist: Every big bang is ultra massive black holes releasing particles they absorbed from all galaxies around them in an infinite loop
i love how kurzegesagt gives us a existential crisis in the middle of the video and tries to soothe us in the end
We all need to understand are meaningless existence so we know how much we should appreciate it.
This is just an average video of kurzegesagt giving us existential crisis
And I love how you spelled kurzqhsksgsussjsbshsjst correctly

You just defined a roller coaster ride.
Okay so effectively the universe is like a human brain when you're young dence with galaxies and stars/synapses and brain cells.
When you're old all the stars / Brain cells are gone (or receding) and you eventually end up alone in the dark as your situational awareness dims to just your own sphere of influence.
@@guyfaux900 who?
You should try SEA channel if you *really* want to know how the existential crisis from a scientific youtube video can feel like. "Cosmic scale" is a nice place to begin with (:
The scope of the universe is firmly outside my comprehension. It is just _too big_ to properly understand.
yep its a waste of time to try to grasp the size of the universe, it is simply beyond the limits of our brains
Would be cool if we enhanced our brain to be able to grasp things that large. I bet it could be done
Exactly what I was feeling while watching this lol
@It's a thing of beauty shrink the brain or the universe for the brain?
You mean the observable universe. We literally cannot start speaking about the whole universe (given that this phrase even makes sense) for we have no way of knowing what percentage of the whole universe is actually observable for us.
Having full transparency is simply refreshing and is why I value the content you create.
Mistakes are in fact unavoidable especially with such complicated topics and in-depth science.
Which as we all know is evolving over time as more technological advances are developed and as a direct result more accurate information is available.
I applaud you and I hope all platforms including the government and social media companies as a whole follow your lead and provide its constituents the same honesty.
After all we are but monkeys with good ideas trying to figure out life's deepest and most philosophical questions and values.
No one expects the ultimate truth; they demands the utmost honesty and humility. That can be understood, but to claim to be all knowing even after being proven wrong is just insulting.
I one hundred percent encourage that you keep the old video up for comparison, you pin a comment for clarification; BUT also tag a link to the updated video for true transparency and be able to access the most accurate version with no confusion.
This increases your views, as well as the quality of your connection with your audience.
If everyone operated this way companies would be considered more reputable and believable. Well done ❤

@@spumbibjorn I think it has to do with knowing that humans are so very small compared to the Universe they live in.

Tho I'm with you on this one. Even one galaxy is enough and our species is bound to go extinct long before any of that stuff becomes relevant anyway. I mean, I'd be happy if we ever manage to colonize another planet before going extinct.

these types of vids never cease to give me chills, it always drags me back from that uncomprehensible sense of fear of maybe dying? Or is it the dying part or the millions of surging unanswered questions that will never be enlightened with these mortal lives we've got.
Had always relied on the philosophy of Socrates regarding death (much better than the hell and heaven of every religions out there) but guess there are holes that will never be covered by these mere philosophies.
Based here I think we all have these answers because we rely only on one medium which is the use of light, but I think we should like to explore more on these so called dark energy in order to understand this universe even more, as we're kind of already reaching the dead end of studying this universe through that medium which is the light.
I hope you never stop looking for truth. There is a God who loves you and sent His Son to die for you. There is evidence of Christianity. I would greatly encourage you to look into Lee Strobel's Case for Christ which details the reasons he (a former atheist) converted to Christianity through the research that he was doing to write an article (for the Chicago Tribune where he worked) to actually disprove Christianity to prove to his wife that her beliefs were juvenile and naive. Essentially he failed. Also, William Lane Craig has great resources on God and Cosmology. I understand that comment sections aren't really the greatest places for conversations on this and that your comment really wasn't about religion, and it's your decision on whether to take anything I said seriously, on what you believe in, etc. I just felt like I should leave this comment here. Like I said, never stop searching for the truth, that being said I hope you have a good day!
Even though we know we won’t ever make it to these other galaxies, just be happy that we knew it exists, before it’s gone.
Our current view of physics is very limited to be fair, we haven’t left our own planet so we don’t even actually know of physics works the same in the rest of the universe, of corse we can test and observe as much as we’re able and we can collect all the information we can get to come to conclusions, but almost everything we know about physics isn’t final, there are so very few things we can say for absolute certainty when it comes to the laws of physics and how the universe really works that nothing we know now is final, I personally believe one day maybe once we have reached the boarder of our galaxy, if humanity, or what ever we have collectively evolved into, will find a way to surpass the limit that is the speed of light, and we will be able to illuminate the rest of the universe again, maybe by then we will have learned how to manipulate gravity in a way we will be able to pull the super cluster back together again, or simply we will learn how to cross the whole universe and see all of it, we can never really know what the future brings

We will go back to the universe one day i am the living earth in flesh and i am the universe it self 👁️
I also think that we could surpass the limits of physics one day, but that’s assuming that we make it that far. Unfortunately there’s a chance that civilization ends itself or maybe an event could end all of humanity like an asteroid or a nuclear war, which would also be caused by ourselves. I think that right now we just need to focus on coming together as a species and fixing our planet and way of life so that we have a much better chance of actually achieving the goals of breaking the speed of light and such. Nice comment tho 👍
He's a nice little time paradox humanity eventually learns how to go back in time all the alien sightings are actually true it's just other humanity making sure we evolve in the right way. Now I see the giant paradox. Unless it's the way they do it in the avengers where he is someone else's timeline. You never know.

Ok so basically what your saying is that it is impossible to travel past the ‘event horizon’ of our local group and then travel to another one as the universe is expanding at the speed of light and maybe even faster.
But what if maybe in a few ten thousand years if we have the technology to create wormholes if that is even possible (is it?) would we be able to bend space and time to then travel to other groups so there would be no need to travel faster than light which is theoretically impossible.

It's never about reaching.....Voyager 1 has GONE OUT OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM!...the part where we struggle is that human would need a lot of supplies if it wants to reach somewhere away....even at good speeds travelling will take hundereds Of human years
We just need to accelerate the spaceship enough....we will be travelling in space where no force is being applied so it will keep moving in the direction without the need of any fuel.
Maybe if we start exploring certain places we barely go to such as idk... Every ocean that surrounds every continent on earth, we might find some new type of resource/s that will enhance the spaceships and allow us to explore space easier. Who knows we dont care about it enough even less the state of the planet.
My physics teacher had said we were in the perfect time to see the universe around us, it felt nostalgic to hear this again in this video
💯🖖
Perfect time to see the observable universe, right? Still cannot see outside that...
I kind of find it difficult to believe that statement. I imagine us being very similar to that far in the future civilization that will only be able to see its own galaxy. What if our civilization emerged just a couple billion years too late to see some other amazing universal artifacts that will forever remain impossible for us to imagine. Imagine how much more we would know if we emerged sooner. Unfortunately, our scope of knowledge will forever be limited to our current perception.
Ankit, everything in existence is observable.
I love how they remake a whole video just for a tiny mistake and they do it not only better but explains why they do it, that's true dedication. Thank you
It makes you wonder what the point is then. If there's an eternal limit to how far we can explore, then we'll eventually hit that limit given enough time passes. One thing that has always been at the back of my mind when thinking of meaning is that the vastness of space, especially since it is expanding (aka, making more) would be the path for humanity to keep trucking along into when everything is done/killed off from the moment prior (Earth, Sun, next planets that are explored, etc;), thereby always ensuring that prior achievements/things obtained will have it's purpose to further along that journey long after you and your future generations are gone. But since there's a limit, that we'll eventually touch everything (in an ideal world, no pun intended), then there's no new "stage" to reach for when previous stages expire, and everything in the universe has a shelf life. Therefore, what previously gave meaning as a void that would eventually open new opportunities for said moments to continue to be actualized, is now a door shut in advance which strips away any meaning humanity used to fall back on altogether.
I hope there's a way to expand our view distance chunks..
Lmaooo
Get a better computer duhh... and also a very good gaming chair

Render distance : 1 googleplex
Serious answer: we may not be able to expand our view distance chunks. But there is a chance we can "move" fast enough to load more chunks. This video was made with lightspeed as the absolute limit. It is possible that we may be able to "move" in different ways in the future
I know we're all comforted and depressed, but it keeps us humble, right? There's something beautiful about knowing there's still an unexplored world out there when it's all over.
then I must be really humble cause I have depression for days! :(
Those are barriers to overcome. The surface of the planet ist a barrier. The extend of the Solar System another. The local bubble is the next. And so on. Overcoming each of those obstacles will require huge technological innovation. By the time we'd be able to colonize the local group, mankind would've been transformed already entirely, face much different problems and think much different aswell.
@@chaosjoerg9811 You're so positive, i respect that
@@chaosjoerg9811 robux
Not to mention; though it seems unfathomable that laws of physics can be bent or broken, as a species we are also still largely unawares of everything that's out there. Be they particles, energies and reactions. (Think of the fairly recent discovery of the Higgs-Bosun particle).
Then there is the scientific community not knowing what happened in the first few seconds of the Big Bang, let alone what was, or wasn't there before the big bang.
Who knows which of those discoveries might radically alter our understanding of the universe and how it might affect our own limitations in it (for better or worse).
After all, if you explained the world of today to someone from 1921 he or she would give you some very odd looks indeed. Never mind someone from 1021 or 2021BC!

@@Jolmex Unless you travel to these galaxies directly, that doesn't make any sense because you're taking a picture of the old light. In a few billion years, a completely new source of light will appear, and it'll look different.
@@iZetto1 Oh yeah that’s true. In order to to see what the stars look like today, you’d have to find the amount of light years those stars are away from us and wait that amount of years to see what they looked like today. However that would be way into the future so we would never really know what they look like in the moment we are looking at them.

it won’t be darkness, the sky itself will be as bright since the stars you can see with the human eye are all close enough that we’ll keep seeing them
They’ll all still have their own local groups, which is plenty of room to look for other civilizations. But that’ll be it; as far as they’ll know their local group is all there was or ever will be.
And that could severely limit their knowledge of the Universe. Our local group has a radius of 5,000,000 light years, so a future civilization in the Milky Way could only see that far into the past.

Never say never because there is still a chance we will learn something new about the universe that one day could help us pass this boundary or do something greater.
I doubt human technology could go faster than the speed of light but it's s nice thought.
So strange how upsetting this video feels. It gives you this sense of loneliness, like "we'll never really discover the whole universe." For some reason we want to, even though we can't and definitely don't need to.
am i actually the only one who loves this feeling. It makes me incredibly humble. I love to watch all these spiritual fuckers trying to make sense of the universe even though we can't even study a fraction of it.

I'd say we are lonely. We spend our entire lives trying not to be and I'd say this is more of the same on a cosmic scale. There's a bunch of civilizations we won't ever know and unless something next level changed in the future, our reach will remain limited.
I'd say humans just want to know the unknown.
It is the only reason we still exist as a species. If you think that's a bad thing.....well, i feel sorry for you. Apathy and self annihilation are not answers, they are escapes.
On a less aggressive note, for almost every self created tragedy and mishap throughout history we've maybe made up for half of them...maybe less than half, but as a species we are no more aware of our falts and follies than ever before, so I believe there is hope to continue on though...even if this video proves that some hope is out of reach, and by some, I mean 90+% of 'hope' ....ugh... I may take up drinking haha

@@self-proclaimed388 yep, just watch their video abt how they make their video, its such a long process
0:10 "Even with scifi technology, we are trapped in a limited pocket of the universe"
then you're not scifi-ing hard enough
Indeed
Agreed, lol.
*SciFi-ing soft enough
(Hard SciFi refers to a subgenere of SciFi which puts extreme emphasis on real physics)
If you mention FTL to hard SciFi fans they will feed you to psychophages.
The more Fi you put in the sci, the more this video won't be true
indeed
i love this channel and i hope it can last for the next hundred years and other educational channels.
either way the only way to reach places that distant is to figure out a totally new way to travel which is far faster than light, so if we could ever go to the galaxies at that border we can most definitely go past it.
Worm holes could be the one
Nothing is more faster then light dumbass. It will break our whole physics and general relativity theory
Warp engines are a theory
@@zubair6737 :| you’re so aggressive
28 seconds woo
I want to grow old and still watching videos from Kurzgesagt, this is a necessary channel in our lives
Agreed
But that means they might change the voice actor and he is a big part of what makes them great
@@Ben-rz9cf PROTECT THE VOICE AT ALL COSTS
@@Ben-rz9cf A different narrator would suck and be very noticeable, but after awhile it wouldn’t feel any different than the narrator we have now. As long as the quality stays the same, I have no problems with them getting a new narrator.
@@slayzer4526 Nah, in the future they would just use ai to have the current narrators voice exist eternally. It certainly would be completely possible and practically un-noticeable :)
Kurzgesagt, Humans like the rest of us and capable of mistakes, wouldnt sweat it too much
Just happened to find this comment while watching the vjd
Hello my birb mentor, love your vids
Galaxies don't have feet though
Ah shut hear que go along
What was the mistake?
When a scientist says something is possible, they are probably right. When they say something is impossible, they are definitely wrong. The limits of my world are the limits of my imagination and will.
"The whole universe is depressing and you cannot do anything about it.
.

But anyway, you can enjoy your life on earth, you little insect"
- Every Kurzgesagt video ever.
I read that in THE voice
Honestly. Sometimes it's hard to watch these purely because I don't want another existential crisis this week.
Just wait until you discover @exurb1a
Kinda liberating actually
You guys don't need to apologize :'( Your work is amazing and we're all thankful you can provide this information to us in the most incredible manner. Thank you Kurzgesagt
This episode is actually beautiful
I’ve been watching them for years and it’s so great to see their animation improve this much
The apology was the best part! They validated the worth of their content. A transparent peer review process is spectacular!
Disagree, so you're wrong; How about speak for yourself instead of being like you are; how about you realize how abused and corrupted you are, so much so that you and the majority continue to abuse and corrupt innocent and vulnerable children who didn't choose to exist nor be abused and harmed by abused and corrupted people - like us all - which I know for aa fact and therefore I will speak for us all.
