We Did The Math - You Are Dead!

Kurzgesagt consistently lures me in with an interesting title, perfectly animates a scientific phenomenon, gives me an existential crisis, and then says “lmao jk, it’s probably fine.”

I love how a lot of crazy cosmic / philosophical theories boil down to “Infinity is a really, really big number”

You never fail to give me several existential crises in the span of 10 minutes ❤️❤️

For some reason this reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft’s vision of the whole universe being a literal dream of the cosmic entity Azatoth, whose awakening would instantly spell the end of reality as we know it.

Fun fact: if you were a Boltzmann brain, then you are the one who came out with all philosophies, sciences, theories, and literature in the entirety of history

Two physicists were discussing reality. One said that they were dreaming, the other said he knew they weren't and he could prove it. He proceeded to formulate an airtight proof showing conclusively that the two were definitely not living in a dream. It was such a monumental break through for math and physics that the physicist was awarded the Nobel prize. And then he woke up.

0:45 currently taking a break from writing my college essay supplementals and have been at a standby on what to write for a specific one. This gave me the best essay idea THANK YOU Kurzgesagt😭

This just seems like it's a different explanation for how the big bang occurred: the random chance of everything accumulating into one drop happened, and then the universe reset itself. Great video.

Huge compliments to the animation team. What a work of art.

The trippy nature of existence is awesome!

Ihr macht es mir so einfach mein englisch zu verbessern, durch eure Illustrationen ist es so einfach, dem Inhalt zu folgen, Dankeschön dafür ❤️

You guys always have the best most interesting videos! Also thank you so much for todays sponsor I’ve been looking for something like this for so long. I also appreciate that you guys always have sponsors that contribute to the good of the world, that’s no small thing. Thanks!

Interesting how you went through this whole thing without using the word entropy, just explaining in a way more people would intuitively understand

I think what's even more fascinating is the fact that, as we humans gain more and more knowledge... we're only left with exponentially more questions.

who else high rn?

Another great video from Kurzgesagt. The reforming blob reminds me of the storm-in-a-junkyard analogy.

"Taking science and philosophy seriously can have a positive impact on the world." I couldn't agree more.

I love how this is both a science and philosophy channel. The combination of fact and theory here is incredible.

Dear kurzgesagt, The pixel art animation is absolutely incredible! The motion pictures , expresses a story aside from the There are so many ways to understand life. A drop into a glass of water is not the best way to understand life, yet you all have your own way to understand life. I like to see life like a clock of many gears, even the smallest of gears creates the big clock, and without the small things, time would not be. When you express theories or opinion, please make it bold to the public that it is an opinion or a theory, to make sure that people are not confused. The efforts have potential, and are appreciated.
