TRUE Limits Of Humanity – The Final Border We Will Never Cross

Hey Everybody! So this video is a remake and remaster of an older video that has a mistake in it. You can watch the original here: https://youtu.be/ZL4yYHdDSWs What is the mistake? In a nutshell: In the original video we said that it was PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the local group and reach other galaxy groups. That the rest of the universe is moving away from us too fast to catch up. But that’s wrong. It is not PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the Local Group, just extremely unlikely that we’ll ever do it. BUT: If you have a lot of time and a fast spaceship you can still get to a limited amount of galaxies – these galaxies will eventually get out of reach forever but until then, they are technically within reach. So why did we keep the video up and didn’t purge it when we deleted our addiction and refugee crisis videos? Well, it has to do with the nature and severity of the mistake: We did talk to a few astrophysicists to ask them what they thought and if we should take down the video. Their feedback was pretty clear, they thought it was still fine as the universe expansion things explained in the video are correct and they didn’t consider the local group thing as too major. This was actually a case of “good enough”. Also, back when this original upload happened, Kurzgesagt was operating at pretty tight margins and just redoing a video was not easy for us. Back then the team was small and we were fighting to put new videos out. So we just swallowed the bitter pill and kept the video around. But the video still bothered us, as far as we know this was the biggest unfixed mistake on the channel. Super frustrating, especially because the core idea of the video is so fascinating. The limit of our species. The actual limit. So yeah, we finally remade the video, sorry for taking this long, life got in the way. The original video will stay up, you can compare the two if you want to see how far we have come in a few years in terms of production quality. All in all, we could only grow the channel and work on getting better because of direct support from you guys. So thank you for that. – Philipp PS: If you want, check out our shop for some new posters about the universe posters and black hole plushies and stuff like that: kgs.link/shop-142

This is the most upsetting thing that will literally never affect me

Watching kurzegesagt is like having a 10 minute existential crisis, then calming down and going “that was fun, let’s do it again”

Glad to have shared this 'moment' of being alive with you all. What an unbelievable predicament we find ourselves in. <3

9:00 this part made me wander if theres somthing that we dont know about that happend before the big bang and im pretty sure there is

"In the future, they will think there is only one universe, created from their local big bang." - An ancient advanced civilization, trillions of years ago.

kurzgesagt: 80% existential dread, 10% optimistic nihilism, 10% birds

Having full transparency is simply refreshing and is why I value the content you create. Mistakes are in fact unavoidable especially with such complicated topics and in-depth science. Which as we all know is evolving over time as more technological advances are developed and as a direct result more accurate information is available. I applaud you and I hope all platforms including the government and social media companies as a whole follow your lead and provide its constituents the same honesty. After all we are but monkeys with good ideas trying to figure out life's deepest and most philosophical questions and values. No one expects the ultimate truth; they demands the utmost honesty and humility. That can be understood, but to claim to be all knowing even after being proven wrong is just insulting. I one hundred percent encourage that you keep the old video up for comparison, you pin a comment for clarification; BUT also tag a link to the updated video for true transparency and be able to access the most accurate version with no confusion. This increases your views, as well as the quality of your connection with your audience. If everyone operated this way companies would be considered more reputable and believable. Well done ❤

To those feeling bad, just realize we have a reachable universe 18 billion light years across and the furthest we’ve gone so far is about 1 light second.

The phrase "Our galaxy is certainly big enough to entertain humanity" gives serious existential crisis vibes.

Every Kurzgesagt video: - Facts - Scares you - Then calms you down - Add birds

This was horrendously beautiful! I don't know what I liked more, whether the information itself or the fact that you acknowledged making mistakes in the previous video. Thank you so much for such fantastic videos and information you provide us with as well as the way you do it. You are an amazing team. Congratulations.

I feel like this is one of those things where we say "yeah, can't do that ever. Impossible." Then we discover wormholes or light speed or something and just have to laugh about how limited we thought we were in our abilities. A thought artifact, like saying no one can go to space without hitting the floor of heaven.

"94% of the galaxies that we can see are already unreachable" ... that's not even taking into account the 100% of the un-observable universe that's out there.

They spend hundreds of hours making amazing content and end it with “sorry it took so long”. Best YouTube channel on the platform

Do i get bored,search these types of videos and then proceed to have a mental breakdown? Yes. Yes i do.😂❤

Idk why but the small bird interactions while he’s not explaining anything and they’re just fooling around is so cute to me.

i love how kurzegesagt gives us a existential crisis in the middle of the video and tries to soothe us in the end

Probably my mom if she ever saw this video: "Every second you're just sitting there doing nothing, 60,000 stars have passed the horizon!"

these types of vids never cease to give me chills, it always drags me back from that uncomprehensible sense of fear of maybe dying? Or is it the dying part or the millions of surging unanswered questions that will never be enlightened with these mortal lives we've got. Had always relied on the philosophy of Socrates regarding death (much better than the hell and heaven of every religions out there) but guess there are holes that will never be covered by these mere philosophies. Based here I think we all have these answers because we rely only on one medium which is the use of light, but I think we should like to explore more on these so called dark energy in order to understand this universe even more, as we're kind of already reaching the dead end of studying this universe through that medium which is the light.
