    6009 comments be like : "why is youtube recommending this after 3996 years"..
  • @hehehe84576
    I watched this video when I was 9 years old when it came out. Now I'm 19. On the 25th of this month, I will present a show at my local planetarium that I'm calling "Are we alone". From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are the reason I fell in love with science, and I hope one day I can bring this joy to as many people as you did.
  • @ana.stuhec
    It's videos like this that make me even more aware of the fact that we are all here just for a brief amount of time.
  • @zlegend9628
    See you guys in 6 billion years when this video gets recommended to everyone
  • @GEH_5
    Fun fact: any video from 10 years ago that gets recommended to you means you are a legend
  • “We probably won’t be alive in 6009” That 10 year old in 6008: What?

  • @adampainter4615
    4th block of the Zeitpyramide being placed today! See you guys in 10 years
  • @mpscrapz95
    Dude watching his galaxy collide with another: Man I really wish I got to see a waterfall
  • For those watching today the fourth block of the Time Pyramid will be placed tomorrow September 9th 2023.
  • @Mr.MR2111
    For people who are intrested, the 4th block of Time Pyramid will be placed on 9th September. After more research Betelguice will probably explode in our life time, which means it is already gone but the light from the explosion hasn't reached us because of how time and light and relativity and other things.
