    When supporting the "something from nothing" theory it is observed that particles can pop into and out of "existence". However, much like the rabbit in a magician's hat just because you don't know where a particle came from or where it went to doesn't mean that it goes nowhere or ceases to exist.

    To be an animal on this planet listening to a series on how it all came to be is so mind boggling and so incredible and it only took 4.4 billion years of earthtime to have a species of animal that could produce this wonderful series of videos so I can contemplate it all. Its absolutely absurd!
  • I have become obsessed with this series I listen to it while I'm working turns my boring mundane job into a time of excitement and enlightenment. I actually find myself excited to go-to work so I can put my earbuds in and journey through time and the cosmos thank you so much for this experience bringing the knowledge from the smartest humans to all of us
  • @freditorials
    I think this series is possibly one of the greatest of its kind ever created. So well done. So ‘clear’ … ENLIGHTENING INDEED!
  • My dad is a scientist and I grew up hearing these words but never really understood them. I love this show and can call him when I have questions. You explain things so well and open up a new conversation with my dad. 💜
  • I'll be honest here, I really don't understand the majority of what's discussed in these videos. Not the fault of the narrator or script. I think it's to do with my learning difficulties. However, even though I don't understand it, I find it endlessly fascinating! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these amazing videos!
  • @bojangles1712
    The intro on this one is the best you've done. The part about what came before and getting something from nothing just is poetry

    "When you put your cup of coffee on the table, it stays there, everytime." Apparently, you don't have cats.
  • Can I just take a moment to thank you for making a documentary genuinely intended to inform and not to awe or bamboozle. We need more content with this high quality ethos online. Two thumbs up. Magnificent job.👍🏿👍🏿
  • @martijnburer
    How this channel doesn’t have a million subs yet is beyond me. Such high quality content. From the subjects, to explanations, to visuals, to tempo, to music. Everything together works so well.
  • @bafflezbiz
    I really appreciate Joe's take and his acceptance and understanding of the individual struggle that each person may face when attempting to mobilize positive change. &Addictions, habits, emotional blocks, conditioned behaviors and proclivities, and possibly even the nature of, and/or existence of free will.
  • This is the best made content I’ve ever seen for quantum physics. The clarity of the narrative and quality of the information is incredible. Thank you for such a delightful presentation.
  • @robroskey6515
    Anyone else listen to these while falling asleep. Hearing some of it right on edge of sleep trips me out and gives it new and profound meaning at times. Used to do the same with coat to coast am.
  • This channel always has some of the highest quality videos on YouTube
  • @kermit4967
    Sorry if this isn't a complement but I love falling asleep to your videos. It's the perfect amount of interest and calmness. The music and your voice is soothing, but the way you present the science (and history) is engaging and easily understandable. The story telling is one of my favorite parts. You aren't just explaining concepts, you're telling the history of how we discovered this science.
  • @valus46
    These are the types of videos I like to watch at night and rethink my life choices. And even tho I don't get like half of the things that were said in this video i still watched it whole. Also I laughed way to hard at the song used at 31:27.
  • @MoonlightJewel
    The sheer beauty of the words describing the mysteries of our universe in the scripts of your videos make me feel an indescribable warmth. I can feel that your videos come from the heart, a curious love to talk about things that we humans will never fully understand. Thank you. ❤️
  • @eardwulf785
    The narrator and the writer are a winning combination. Really enjoy this series of videos
