2 hours and 26 minutes of History of the Universe is the best thing that can happen on a Friday evening.
-
Oh man, this is going to take me months to watch since I've conditioned myself to fall asleep listening to the history of the Universe. Thank you!
-
This is the best stuff on YouTube. I’d like to see a video where all the folks responsible for creating these masterpieces introduce themselves, tell us a bit about their backgrounds and show us a bit about how they put these videos together.
-
Thanks! Your videos give me great perspective as I struggle with end of live fears. I receive great comfort knowing that the search for truth will continue.
-
Thanks! If it’s the length of a movie, I might as well pay for a ticket.
-
Holy hell, it must've taken you ages to make this video. Thank you for the top quality content.
-
Your narration is excellent - people think narration is just someone talking over something but it's much more than that and I can intuitively feel you take it seriously and think deeply how to convey the words. I put this on in the background as I started to work, and I ended up putting down my work and just listening. Wonderful content, you make me proud to be a human.
-
I think, therefore, I'm wrong.
-
Incredible work! It's unbelievable that an independent creator on YouTube can make better documentaries than any channel backed by huge corporations.
-
Have been a fan of your content for sometime now. With this you have outdid yourself, surely the greatest documentary ever seen in my life. Thank you again and Please keep making these videos.
-
Words fail to describe the education received. This is brilliant and is the third time I have watched this fabulous work. It will not be the last time I view this. I am so happy to be alive to witness what we know and thirsty for more, much more. Changing tense, I thoroughly enjoy watching this each time and will learn more the more I watch this in the future. I sincerely thank you for this work.
-
I'm way to high for this
-
Well written and well presented. My compliments to Leila Battison and the research team who put this compelling production together. The visuals were instructive as they were captivating. I can only imagine the work that went into making this cosmic project. You should all be commended.
-
I thought I was dreaming - a new 2.5 hours of absolutely the best content on YouTube! I'm in cosmology heaven ❤
-
The three minutes starting at 22:10:30 are poetry -- the alluring writing, the unflinching pace of the narration (despite the breathtaking vastness of its subject), the stunning images, the romantic music.
-
This is good shit bro. 👏 I can watch and learn about the universe forever. I've been out of school for a very long time, but I never stop listening and learning. I find nothing more interesting than this universe we are part of.
-
Thanks for putting in the time to research, write, narrate, and edit this beautiful monstrosity! Amazing content ❤
-
This is simply outside of the reach of any other current media out there. The quality and educational level of this content is something I can't appreciate enough
-
David Kelly's voice draws you in and wanting to know more. This is so fascinating🥰
