    I may never own a home, but it's pretty dope to be alive in this time to see these discoveries!
  • @Warpded
    Best sci-doc channel on YouTube. It's all cohesive and well researched. No obnoxious ambience, no AI just reading a script. Thank you for this channel. You've earned a Bell
  • @Nova-uy7ub
    The script, the narration, the graphics, the subjects, the presentation, all top tier. Undeniably one of the best docuseries.

    It always makes me a bit emotional thinking about where we've come as a species. We're here contemplating and exploring some of the wildest questions about the fundamentals of our universe. It's often a background to all the craziness that goes on in our world. But it's a reminder that humanity is capable of some truly amazing things.

    after more than 16 years on youtube .. this is without a doubt my favorite channel. by far. nothing else even comes close. i said it before but will happily repeat: the mixture of beautifully written scripts, well researched, cutting out the bullshit and sensationalism.. with the voicing, which is plain and simple: perfect. taking pauses when needed, letting important thoughts sink in, pronouncing the corner stones .. then the editing, the selection of music .. i just can not praise you people enough. i fall asleep to science documentaries for more than a decade now .. but the urge to rewatch a video over and over to not miss a single beat has never been there in the way it is with your work. i am sending your videos to all of my close ones .. not to promote you .. but just to do them a favor. and they keep thanking me for it! please never stop <3

    I love that I live 35 miles from cape Canaveral… I get to see almost every single launch unless it’s too cloudy out 🤩
  • @zackblack1824
    Who ever narrates this understands cadence and tempo and just gets it. Morgan Freeman style.
  • I always love getting notifications from you. These documentaries have really helped me after my Dad's death. Knowing that we have based all our natural laws on about 10% of the actual matter in the universe. This has really helped me get rid of the deterministic view point I had developed over my college education and helped me by giving me hope that I would see my Dad again in the afterlife. I would even settle for knowing that he was reincarnated. At least then, he wouldn't be gone forever. I miss him every day. He was and is the reason I became a scientist in the first place. Thank you.
  • Astronomy, cosmology, and physics every night as I go to sleep…Entire History of the Universe is by far my favorite channel!! Love it when I see that new video each month!

    I've never been so amped for bedtime tonight
  • @generationxpvp
    What a gift this channel is. Science communication is so important, thank you 🙏
  • Always brilliantly put together and such a lovely voice too 😊..thank you for awakening my interest in science again 😊❤
  • @Donnirononon
    This is one of my favourite channels when it comes to explaining and maybe simplifying things for the average viewer. With a lot of channels i have noticed that they simplify the topics in somewhat weird ways but then also draw the wrong conclusions from their own simplifications. So far, i never had a moment like this with your videos as i always found them very well researched and also reviewed before you upload them. Every time you upload i know i will be happy watching it and that you wont BS me :)
  • @OOoOski
    Watching James Webb’s launch was one of the most stressful moments of my life.
  • @velkoto1
    Yet another great Friday evening upload from History of the Universe.
  • Everyone stop what you're doing. History of the Universe dropped a new video.
  • @gerryblodgett871
    Excellent job of adding significantly to my undergrad astrophysics understanding. I found the visuals very effective in bringing the concepts to life and potentially to a new generation of scientists. Keep up the good work. Gerry
