Kurz will never stop being a savage towards Brown Dwarves

I love how you guys always spend like ten minutes inducing an existential crisis in all of us and then hit us with "But you don't need to worry about that for a while :)" right at the end 😂

For a point of reference, 10^1,000 is insane when you consider that the amount of atoms in the entire universe is estimated to be about 10^80.

I can't be the only person who's glad that I have this sense of universal awareness. To be able to contemplate these stuff every time I look up the night sky is something I will be forever grateful for.

The storytelling ability of this channel is absolutely breathtaking

Props to the subway passengers dealing with each other for 10^1000 years

"then it ends just as quickly as it began" ...bro it took so long that there are no conceivable human words

"Before the last thing to ever happen, all the other things have to happen first." - absolute banger of a line, lads

For anyone having an existential crisis over this, here's something to think about: Some astrophysicists have pointed out that the state of the universe after heat death (all matter and energy being equal, concepts of space and time being meaningless) is actually similar to what, for lack of a better word, "existed" before the Big Bang. In other words, our universe will die, but in the process it might just give birth to the next universe. I think there's a bit of comfort in that possibility.

One of the most harrowing and humbling facts about the far future is that once you get to a certain point, it really doesn't matter what units you're measuring time in. When you get to numbers like 10 to the power of 1500, it's so ridiculously large that you could measure it in anything from microseconds to star lifespans and you'd get roughly the same amount of time. So when they say "a time so absurd it has no name" they're not kidding around, measuring it is irrelevant

Ain't gonna lie, every time I think about the very end, it terrifies me and gives me a huge anxiety attack. My mind is petrified of the thought of it despite knowing we won't be around to witness it. I find it a challenge to overcome the anxiety it gives me and I don't think I can ever overcome the thought of it.

When I heard about KiwiCo on your channel, I thought, "I need that!" I am an 11 year old who is interested in astrophysics and engineering. I bought the robot that puts stuff in its mouth and built it. Best thing ever. Thank your kurzgesagt. I love your videos and channel and everything about it. Your voice for example is not annoying to hear or listen too, it is calm, soothing, and smooth. The animations are too. This is stuff my school struggled to teach me, yet I am the only kid in my school who knows the last thing that will happen in the universe. So I end this paragraph, with a thank you.

Can’t believe they really locked 3 birds in a spaceship for all eternity and let them loose their minds just to find out what the last thing to ever happen is.

I can't believe Kurzgesagt is putting out videos so quickly now. This is legitimately premium content. Thank you for your contribution to learning for everyone!

I honestly love how there’s a whole story in this video with the passengers of the Spacetime Tours ship progressively getting more and more deranged and upset as they spend more and more time inside the spaceship and their mental health slowly deteriorate

Very interesting things! Thanks for the video, Kurzgesagt!

Too old to watch the universe be born, too young to watch the universe die, just in the right time to watch kurzgesagt

Fascinating stuff. Thank you.

such an amazing channel, keep up the good work 🤩
