Physicist REACTS to history of the entire world, i guess

The sun it's a deadly lazer" "no it's not" Me: you ruined a perfect joke that's what you did

I dont think he was necessarily going for "God created this" at the start I mean sure it can be interpreted as that, but it also seemed like a humanization of the non-existing universe coming into being "I dont wanna be nothing, I wanna change" It can be the mind of God, it can be a anthropormifized singularity talking to itself, really it's up to you

I think he wasn't interpreting the mind of GOd. He was just trying to be funny.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Bill Wurtz makes the most attention grabbing, entertaining and educational videos.

"The sun is a deadly laser" -Sun Tzu

"Everyone in Australia is descended from British prisoners" Sad aboriginal noises

It's a 20 minutes crash course of history that already took him 11 months to make. i think you can cut him some slack about missing some things. :)

I think The sun being a deadly lazer is just a reference to the fact that pre-ozone layer the Ultraviolet radiation of the sun was very dangerous. Lol

The main reason people don’t want to believe in climate change is because trying to stop it would require economic and lifestyle changes. And, as Jon Stewart put it, “It was a simple cost-benefit analysis. We enjoyed drinking hot coffee in a cold room in the middle of the summer more than we enjoyed other animals being alive.”

Perhaps he should make a video called "The history of the whole of science, I guess"

I think Bill was more trying to make a history-related video since it’s already 20-min long, but thank you for making it even more educational on the science end as well :))

I believe ancient Greeks already knew that the world was round. They even calculated the size pretty closely (they didn’t know it’s not a perfect sphere due to the spin). Columbus mistakenly believed that it was a lot smaller and that Asia stretched a lot farther east

Interesting, I’ve never taken the beginning but to be about god. I’ve always taken as the personification of the universe itself. As if it’s thinking to itself as being everything but also being nothing and also just being bored. I think it’s interesting that you interpreted it to be god though.

I feel like you expected an extremely indepth overview of the literal history of the world. It's educational and comedic so he's gonna gloss over stuff. It's a good start off for a lot of people who might be interested.

I Believe you would be have a better time reacting to 'Timelapse of the future: a journey to the end of time' because it deals with much much more physics than this video.

I have no doubt that Bill missed some periods of space events, but he probably picked some that were important while still being…digestible. In an interview, he said he constantly went back and forth with himself over which things to include and cut out. He had to make jumps in time to compress it all.

you know how long this video would be if he covered every influential human in history?

Could u imagine how long the video would be if he went into any detail on the entire history of the world. Its a great way to introduce people to history so they can then go and look up the bits they didn't know about and found interesting

Well, if the video was entirely about the history of science then he certainly would have included a lot of what you were frustrated about it missing, but the history of nations seems pretty important to know as well (at least I think so. Being doomed to repeat history of you don't know it, that sort of thing). I will say he was very conflicted over what to include, and in the end he wanted to keep the video down to 20 minutes. The video would probably have been hours long if he included EVERYTHING that seemed significant, and it would have taken many years to make instead of just one.
