Wormholes Explained – Breaking Spacetime

Published 2018-08-12
Are wormholes real or are they just magic disguised as physics and maths? And if they are real how do they work and where can we find them?

  • "You won't be the stuff coming out of a white hole. You'll just be dead." upbeat music
  • @HawariHaikal
    Me: "Does the worm hole exist?" Kurzgesagt: "Yesn't"
  • @gemstar5242
    I'm in a bit of a time crunch working on a project for university, and at first glance at other videos on this topic, I almost bailed on the topic and picked something else entirely, but this video's clear and concise explanation of everything kept me going with it, and I feel way more confident in my abilities to explain this kind of thing to someone else after watching this. Nicely done.
  • @Kwiibii
    I'm glad that Kurzgesagt has so many subscribers because it means a significant part of the population can be swayed by them, you know? Like, they have a sizeable positive impact on people and I think thats awesome.
  • @cheri758
    how to make a wormhole: you need 10 obsidian, and a flint and steel.
  • @flippz4189
    Can we all just agree this soundtrack is amazing
  • @kris242
    I love that you guys decided to use trippy 80s-style ecstasy visuals and music to describe this absolutely insane concept 🤣 This is truly why you guys are the best channel on Youtube.
  • @PotholedAxe9985
    Love that interstellar reference at 4:33 where he shows a wormhole near a planet that looks like saturn.
  • @Kasuyaki007
    "For now, we only know that wormholes exist in our hearts." Proceed to rip out heart
  • @ireki4017
    i loved the synthwave aesthetic and wanted to see who wrote the music. realised it was you and i was blown away. the dedication to this channel is mindblowing, y'all are awesome
  • @user-ml2su2pz2h
    1:45 wouldn't you become a black hole from the sheer impossibility of this? your mass going faster than realistically possible collapsing due to the density? next video idea:what if space wasn't a vaccum?
  • @elazouzim9666
    Let's take a moment and appreciate the 80's "back to the future" style this video was made with.
  • @zoidsfan12
    I adore that this video took so much vaporwave and synthwave influence for it's visual aesthetic. I've always been a sucker for the nightdrive aesthetic in particular, the grid lines, the sun that disperses into lines, etc. And I love that only a small subset of the people that watch this will even truly appreciate it as much as I do. Hell even the statue people won't get is a reference to the Apollo statue on the floral shoppe album or the dolphin to ecco jams. Still a proud owner of the original floral shoppe pressing.
  • @kenkioqqo
    Thanks to this kind of awesome free content, I've found that I watch one or two movies every 6 months, but at least several informative documentaries like this one every single day. I can't help but binge on this kind of content.
  • @MasculineMan
    It's crazy how youtube has evolved over the past years. This content is better than content we see in movies and TV shows lol, and this is totally free content. I think youtube is going to overtake traditional media, it really is changing the entire way people consume content. I think your channel could a pioneer of the future, at least in the animation circle. You are the Casey Neistat of animations. Anytime I get a little confident about my animations, I come to this channel and get humbled very quickly lol.
  • 공부도 못하고 과학도 모르지만 이해하기 쉽게 설명해주셔서 감사합니다. 특히 모션그래픽 애니메이션의 퀄리티는 말이 안나올정도로 깔끔하고 감각적이네요
  • @purplehaze2358
    Perhaps the reason naturally occurring wormholes haven't been seen is just because they're too small to be picked up by telescopes. Just food for thought I suppose.
