    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.
  • @LoneWanderer727
    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Watching James Webb’s launch was one of the most stressful moments of my life.

    I've never been so amped for bedtime tonight
  • 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!
  • @velkoto1
    Yet another great Friday evening upload from History of the Universe.
  • Always brilliantly put together and such a lovely voice too 😊..thank you for awakening my interest in science again 😊❤
  • @Slitherpy
    Such a wonderful channel. Can't thank you enough for all your hard work.
  • Given how relatively young humankind has developed in this universe, it’s ludicrous to think that there isn’t a much much older intelligent civilization/world(s) out there in those different and distant galaxies. It’s actually mathematically impossible that we’re alone in this universe.
  • Everyone stop what you're doing. History of the Universe dropped a new video.

    It's such an honor and privilege to be alive and be well into one's mid-life to see a project like this succeed. How amazing, what we naked apes can do when we put our minds and resources to task. I often wonder where we might be had we devoted the bulk of our collective resources to projects like this rather than channeling them mostly into more and more clever ways to blow each other up based on tribalism...Thank you, as always, for the epically fabulous content!
