“Or is it?” turns into barcode
-
You can’t escape lag even in real life :(
-
11:00 This is what you turn into when you watch too much Vsauce.
-
Michael’s physical appearance has been edited to look like distorted. Or is it?
-
* materializes * hey Vsauce, Michael here
-
What if it's not just an effect and Michael's physically doing that himself? I've seen enough of this guy out of context to believe it.
-
I love wiggly michael, it fits his wiggly character.
-
I will forever hold a small sadness that our night sky could be filled with uncountable galaxies and cosmic works of art, if only our eyes were made to see them
-
10:57 on my way to work.
-
Me: sees video was uploaded in 2014 Me: “oh that’s not that long ag- 6 YEARS AGO
-
I love these videos because there is exactly a ZERO % chance you will predict why he’s gonna make next the topics are so random but he makes them so well
-
3:00 This image of all the constellations still blows my mind! Looks so cool.
-
Classic Vsauce words: Or is it..? music starts
-

I love Vsauce because I either come out intrigued "Oh..." or with an existential crisis "OH!"
-
I love everything about Vsauce I love the way Michael teaches as you as if your his student while being fun and enjoyable at the same time, I love how there isn’t drama inside the channel There is no swearing no impropriate nature Michael and Vsauce all together are the perfect embodiment of curiosity and intelligence inside humankind And as always thanks for reading
-
me: perpetually has nightmares about a stretchy VSauce monster
-
This went from "Cameras mess up stuff" To "Nothing we see is real"
-
I know I'm late to the party, but this is the best channel on youtube by far
-
imagine if galaxies were actually giant crosses but only look like giant spirals because of the rolling shutter effect
