Earth Is Hurtling Towards Something Strange and We Don't Know What It Is

For everyone experiencing the existential dread, just remember two things. One, the timelines of when we would get to the point of the heat death of the universe so incredibly massive for us it might as well be infinity. Two, our understanding of the universe is constantly changing! 10 or 20 years from now it may be an entirely different idea of what will happen. Ultimately the dynamics of how the universe plays out are completely out of your control, just live your best life and rest easy knowing that the outcome doesn't matter to you, the entire human race, or even the planet itself.

As a certain book once said "Space is big. Really big" Don't Panic.

As a resident of sector 001 the Terran system I can truly say we have got nothing to worry about for about 5 billion years when the sun starts to die

"For those of you who are into existential dread" Your time is too short and irrelevant at the these space-time scales. It's a miracle we exist so enjoy this gift and don't throw it away. It's literally one chance in the whole existence of the universe. You won the lottery. Spend your time wisely.

"For those of you who are into existential dread" Dont call me out like that, pls

From a somber ending dialog to a cheerful 'Thanks for watching!' had me cracking up! 😂 Brilliant the way you lightened the mood! Cheers! 👍

Well this put me through the 'ol Total Perspective Vortex.

Great ending when the earth blinks out....a pause.....and you pop back in with a big smile. Really....really perfect 🙂 Oh and overall, great content as well!

The idea of a super-massive thing bigger than anything we know, and it's attracting our galaxy, but we can't see what it is or know what it is, is SO SCI-FI. What an awesome premise.

Was just listening and not watching. I couldn’t understand why it was called “greater tractor” until I finally realized he was saying “great attractor”💀

wait, our cluster is 45k galaxies, but the super cluster is only 100k galaxies? something isn't adding up

Thank you, I just joined another channel yesterday (timing is everything) and can't join another one today, bu throuighly enjoyed your content and will be back.

That last "thanks for watching" was so sincerely funny like, you enjoyed either consufing people with the video or the fact that people kinda gets freaked out by this and you trolled them LOL. I enjoyed every bit. Thanks mate.

I had a dream I could fly at amazing speeds getting out of earth. I went so far I was scared. I didn’t remember how to get back but I found so many different works different colors. Lots of different suns and I could go out for ever. It seemed so real. I was convinced I was there. I came to earth somehow and flew for a bit and next thing you know is I forgot how to fly. It was THE MOST AMAZING dream ever. I hope it happens to me again.

You are always a joy to watch. You offer an array of things. From great knowledge to great laughter and beyond. Mixed with charm, and pleasant sarcasm, and the list goes on.

Great Post. The Entertainment value is quite invaluable.

The balloon section was really well done. Spouting facts is easy, educating people is skill and a talent. Good job.

That ending. The way he said thanks for watching. I now feel smaller and at the same time feel like it's not to us to fathom the universe. Thanks for listening.

I am loving that you included the Faster Than Light travel sound. <3

I’m brand new to physics (no proper schooling), but this exact phenomenon is literally (in my mind, anyway) a likely scenario, given what I learned in Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell’s “How to Destroy the Universe” I feel like that’s the inevitable cycle. It exploded out with the Big Bang, & now everything is being sucked back through the vastness of space. To eventually start the cycle over again.
