- No matter where you are, you are always moving. The Earth orbits the sun, and the sun moves round the galaxy. But what is it that makes the galaxy move? That is going to be our topic today. Everything in our local galaxy supercluster, Laniakea, is being dragged towards a very high concentration of mass hidden behind the plane of our galaxy. It has all the ingredients for an epic space mystery, it is the Great Attractor.

He was just trying to tell us the truth :(
That’s an Oof
Bruh

"If you're watching this video chances are you'll be sitting down somewhere"

Wowee thats a long poop

Yo same here bro
As I do really love space, it just makes me sad that we may not find out most of its mysteries in my life time.
Imagine what you have found out that a scientist 100 years ago, looking into a rudimentary telescope, would never dream of, and would never get to know/
@@kimabrams97 they would be amazed, then frustrated that they couldn't know more. just like we would be
What the fuck is that cute little shit peeking out the box
But even if we get to space, we still won't be able to discover every fact, because there's always more to explore. Which is itself frustrating.
And even if we became so advanced that we'd know about every scientific fact about every dimension and reality, then we'd be frustrated by the fact that there's nothing left to explore. Which is more frustrating than anything.
The human mind is doomed to eternally search for something more and sulk with boredom when there's nothing left. That's why it's crucial to appreciate the things which are familiar to you, because ultimately everything becomes familiar.
I’d like to imagine that when I die that everything will be revealed to me…like God will sit me down and tell me who killed 2pac, what is the Bermuda Triangle, and what is it that women really want
You've just painted, from scratch, an intuitive image in my head of our galaxy's path through the universe and its relationship to other celestial objects in under half hour. Kudos
We are all going to die though. Well that's the future anyway. All of us are going to some void were everything is just going to die Stars the black holes the galaxies everything will disappear. There's no kudos in that.

Technically it is.

@@thanus6636
You don't understand lovecraftian horror, which is hella ironic.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 I don’t? Well please explain to me how I am mistaken.
This video is a perfect example of one that I can sink my conscious into and absorb information efficiently due to its nicely palatable narration and graphics. Well done.
its scary to think about
I recently bought my first house and played all your videos while I painted the rooms and did some minor repair over the course of two months before fully moving in. Your videos are the best and are now forever part of my memory of my new home. I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved away. This video is so fitting for me to finally have made a comment with a Hawaiian name given to the super cluster. Thank you.
Congrats on the first home purchase! Hope it gives you years of happiness :)
All the best for your future!

Don't worry, guys, we only gotta wait for about 100 million years to see exactly what the heck the great attractor is from the opposite side of the galaxy, no biggie.

I've always been obsessed with astronomy. Your channel is the best source of information regarding up to date discoveries. No crap or childish editing; just the information in a thoughtful and articulate manner. Thank you!! 👏👏
Same thing here.😁
Yeah I love how professional everything is. No lame jokes, cartoons, etc. That's good some I'm sure but I much prefer this.
Amen. I agree 100%.
This reminds me of a dream I once had when I was young. It was a long falling dream about flying along floating giants, made of stars. It made me feel very little and vulnerable and insignificant. I fell out of the galaxy, a moment later, the galaxy looked just like a star and then I saw a giant made of galaxies. I woke up because I couldn't comprehend how big it was.
This image of The Great Attractor looks just like it.
Yes. Our human minds are trapped in human bodies, and so much is incomprehensible. If someone claims it's not, I don't think they're paying attention.
Exceptional Video!
Your description of scale is excellent,
your transitions are timely, and
you lead the audience through progressively more complex data, thank you for your scholarly work!
I'm a dumbass that has never studied but always been fascinated by space and how everything works, your videos are so easy to understand and so well designed and your voice is so clear! Love it
i don't think dumbass's r fascinated by space n how it all works D. It's an expression but it doesn't really fit my impression of you. there's a lot of bad teaching teacher's out there.
I don't think you're dumb. Perhaps a bit lazy like me haha
@@haveagreatday8248 just because someone has the capability to be fascinated by something doesn’t mean they’re unable to be a dumbass too.
Just sounds like a normal Brit
Not fascinated enough to pick up a book.
This video let me think of the words of the Desiderata : "You are a child of the universe. No less than the trees and stars. You have a right to be here."
💙😁
Not even child just bacteria
What a wonderful quote.
cope
and the right to die ?
This video somewhat validated me, since I had the thought all of my own accord that seemingingly everything in the universe seems to orbit something of a massive relative mass .. moons around planets, planets around stars, stars around black holes at galactic centres.. even neutrons around atomic cores seems to be a fixed pattern... So cool to see that concept validated on a greater scale ..
Stars don't really orbit the black holes at the centre of the galaxy, Black holes don't have anywhere near the mass necessary to make galaxies form, stars just orbit the centre of mass of the entire galaxy, affected by literally everything with mass in said galaxy, and that balances out over billions of years creating uniform motion in the spiral pattern you're used to seeing galaxies form.
Neutrons, Electrons and protona follow a different kind of laws so they're not really that similar, but yeah, because gravity, the less dense regions of space will always be attracted to the more dense regions, leading to star formation, solar system formation, galaxy formation, cluster formation and so on, as long as gravity has enough time to reach somewhere in space, it will always cause this pattern
You gotta love these names. "The Zone of Avoidance!" Like a 16th century naval map showing where sea monsters swallows ships.
"There's always a bigger fish" - Qui Gon Jin
Yeah, here u have a bigger one.
Shut it
Summon bigger fish
Yes indeed
Let any fish who meets my gaze learn the true meaning of fear, for I am the harbinger of death, the bane of creatures subaqueous. My rod is true and unwavering as I cast it into the aquatic abyss. A man, scorned by this uncaring earth finds solace in the sea.
My only friend - the worm upon my hook, wriggling, writhing, struggling to surmount the pointlessness that permeates this barren world.
I am *alone*.
I am *empty*.
And yet,
*I fish.*
It’s incredible to me that a primate species born and evolving on a random tiny speck of rock orbiting a random star in a random galaxy figured all of this out.
With a brain of chemicals made up of molecules with some small electric circuits figured this out
It is mind boggling how we came to be and the circumstances that caused our evolution through chance and the individuals that caused them
And saddening that most of us still play make-believe with an invisible "friend" that requires worship, love AND fear... much like an abusive spouse or parent. Sigh.

As Obi-wan Kenobi (Hello there ...) once said, almost everything can be seen from a certain point of view ...
I personally blame the more Conservative, neo-Baptist, Evangelical, Christians, that make much of what Christianity is, as being absolutely lunatic. Move well away from those destructive denominations (including, yes, also the Catholic Church ...) to something more like the Episcopalians, and, well ... you may find Christians whom try to be more Christ-like, and less tribalistic ...
That's not to say you're wrong ... in fact, from a certain point of view, you're more right than wrong, especially when a disaster is point as being 'God's divine wrath', when, in fact, it has more to do with how inhuman, and inhumane, people treat each other ...
All I can do is treat people with grace, dignity, compassion, decency, and magnanimity ... and ask for forgiveness from those whom I have failed ...
@@nigelft The thing is that you can and actually do those things without any need for a divine dictator... making YOU the moral person you appear to be, to be praised for the good, and responsible for the bad. The biggest horror of religion is its ability to allow otherwise decent people to commit atrocities.
I always get this sickly sinking feeling in my stomach watching these. Kinda like when your stomach drops while also feeling an existential dread at the same time
I enjoyed this so much. The distances and scales are dizzying. Does anyone else feel an awestruck sensation just contemplating the distances and scales ?
Brilliant work as ever.
" Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears , the universe is listening to its harmonics. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence."- Alan Wilson Watts.
"See, the source of all light is in the eye. If there were no eyes in this world, the sun would not be light. You evoke light out of the universe in the same way you by virtue of having a soft skin evoke hardness out of wood. Wood is only hard in relation to a soft skin. It's your eardrum that evokes noise out of the air. You, by being this organism, call into being this whole universe of light and color and hardness and heaviness and everything." AW

This was my first video I've seen from you awhile back. I still come back to this every once in a while. Top 10 CZcams videos I've seen in my life as a chronic youtuber. Got your mug too :)
An elegant video essay on astronomy, the study that let's us guess what happens beyond death.
I've probably fell asleep to every video SEA does about the universe. The videos are great and the way he explains it so it's not overly complicated. Keep it up bro your videos are top quality material. Dont stop!!
When he drops a new video ill leave it there until night, and right before I go to bed ill watch his video to relax and prepare for sleep, a few times I have fallen asleep.
I went on a binge of his channel awhile ago and would watch 1 video before bed, but eventually ran out of videos.
Only on CZcams is "I fell asleep to your content" a compliment 😂
@@smileyp4535 I don't think it is a complement. If I spent weeks working on a video only for someone to say they fell asleep to it, that would seem a bit insulting.
@@princeprocrastinate6485 that's my point haha, but people use these *specifically to* fall asleep to and the creator still gets the view just the same. Not to mention what I was saying was that the original comment was *meant* to be a complement which is why it was funny
Lol this is also my nightly routine. Pondering cosmic queries, made possible by sea’s great narration and editing.
Excellent presentation, written and delivered with such clarity that even I could understand it. This is both intriguing and creepy!
well said!
Whenever I'm sad, I often listen to your videos. It both helps me gain more knowledge and helps me sleep easier in this stressful life
You do the best and highest quality space videos on CZcams right now, easily. So informative and so well made. Pleas keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.

The best I've seen on both Laniakea and the Great Attractor, though I'm always hopeful of something 'spooky'. But those diagrams of Laniakea and the other superclusters are some of the most beautiful and inspiring works I've ever seen. As the narrator said, that we live in an age when such is visible...hats off to the people who make this available to any who care to see.
It's like if ants understood human civilization. We understand Laniakea
100 million years, a blink of an eye in the big scheme of things.
It's cool how huge sizes and timescales start to become small as you learn more about the universe.
Midnite - Scheme a things
Just an astounding video. So good. The 3D graphs of the flows across the superclusters were just beautiful.
“The end” was quite possibly the most befitting ending I have ever seen for such a masterpiece.
Thank you. In my experience in pop science (non-academic sources, chains of youtube videos, reddit threads) it isn't well phrased that the nature of The Great Attractor is much more well understood than it was decades ago and is still presented as an ongoing mystery where we have no idea what it could very well be and is nothing like we've ever seen. It may seem more viscerally interesting at first to believe that whatever lies beyond the zone of avoidance also lies beyond our established understanding of the universe, but you (and your collaborators and sources together) have successfully written and produced a journey where it is just as viscerally rewarding to understand what, why, and especially how we come to shine a light on previously unknown knowledge. That's great science ambassadorship.
Heartily endorsed.
I enjoyed how he stayed with observations and did not add wild speculations that were unnecessary and lately in the last 30 years or so, illogical speculations.

One of THE best and most illuminating videos I have ever seen -- on CZcams or anywhere else.
Beautifully visualised, to an excellent, clear and well-spoken script.
Congratulations to all concerned!
(When something is so PERFECT, I tend to notice tiny, unimportant things; so ... just one little quibble. In the Hawaiian language, 'Laniakea' should be pronounced 'Lannia-Kay-ah' -- see the pronunciation of the extinct volcano upon which all those wonderful telescopes are built ... Mauna Kea ['Mone-a Kay-ah"). I must learn the Phonetic Alphabet some time!
If no-one has already mentioned it, kudos on your music selection throughout this brilliantly informative video. There's something about that kind of jazz which fits the subject so perfectly - like a sock to a foot - subtle & perhaps ignored by our conscious mind as we concentrate upon the mysteries of Supercluster dynamics & the ineffable qualities of Gravity itself...
The fact that one of the greatest mysteries is blocked by our entire galaxy
İts mystery cuz its blocked if we could see what is happening there it wouldn't be mystery

The horrifying truth is the so-called Great Attractor is a celestial monster of inconceivable mass that eats entire solar systems for breakfast. It's so big that its food literally comes to it. Fortunately, the cosmic time frames involved mean we have somewhat more immediate issues to concern ourselves with, like why I always end up with one odd sock after the weekly laundry wash.
I’d argue that it’s the Great Attractor that keeps stealing the world’s socks.

This comment just blew my mind; be easy everyone!
I gotta hand it to this channel, it walks that fine line between algorithm click bait and quality content really well. Just mainstream enough for non science literate normies to find it, just niche enough to grow a community of its own.

Probably the greatest thing I've seen on CZcams.. I am so pleased that I watched this. More like this please.
It's reassuring in a way, knowing that the universes rate of expansion won't send *everything* too far away from us to observe. It's like a group of rafts on the ocean, or a campfire in an impossibly large forest.
Depends on how fast the expansion gets. Could still get the big rip.
This is by far one of the greatest channels on CZcams. Thank you man.
This is a really good explanation for a particular “object”. It feels like we’re focusing on a particular and relevant subject, like how good lore videos are told on a piece of fiction is told. Even heavily acknowledging what we don’t know. Something similar to “soft worldbuilding lore”.
I just realised that it would have been possible to examine the great attractor in the age of dinosaurs, since back then Earth was on the other side of the galaxy.
Yes as earth was on the other side of the galaxy then.
The age of dinosaur was triassic (120 million years ago) to late Jurassic (60 million years ago).. Yes they have already lived in the earth more than 50 million years.. Im a geologist btw
@@69percentarabica26 You're obviously not a geologist, because if you were, you'd know the Triassic started ~250 million years ago and ended 201 million years ago, the Jurassic running from then until 145 million years ago.

Gravity on a cosmic scale is the closest thing to magic.
There is nothing that can protect you from gravity. It is not shieldable like the electromagnetic force for example. Only with Dark Energy maybe. But we don't know anything about that yet.
@@johannageisel5390 Oh I guess planes don’t exist.
I don’t think that’s true. Personally, radiation is the closest to magic. I have been having the idea that radiation is correlated with the passage of time. Since we created a time crystal by blasting metal with an insane amount of radiation, I’ve been pondering if the fact that there is an entire background of radiation in our universe and how maybe that can be associated with the passage of time somehow. What if the universe is just a massive time crystal and will eventually cycle back to the beginning and repeat itself all over again?
@@TheSCPStudio You might want learn more about gravity: flight works because of it, and does not avoid it.
@@TheSCPStudio it is always "now". your ideas about light are correlative with optics. looking through universe works the same way through a phenomena called " cosmic replay ", the farther you look at an image through space the farther back in time you see in the most literal sense
When I was younger I liked to think that the attractor was some incomprehensible Lovecraftian monstrosity that lurked outside the observable universe.
It's Azathoth taking in a breath before he exhales out. A single inhale takes trillions of years 😂

At around 9:40, he makes it sound like that.
Lovecraftian monsters seems tiny compared to these superclusters.
It kind of is.
I love this channel for all the gorgeous diagrams explaining things. I always pause at the diagrams x
Fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed that.
The vastness of it all calms me, everything that's going on right now is so small in comparison.
Easily one of the best astronomy channels on CZcams. Always well articulated and structured. I truly appreciate your quality work. Thank you
Fantastic presentation. Very clearly explained with excellent visuals. This topic is such a complete and total mindfu@k to contemplate the sheer vastness of it all - its truly beyond human comprehension
This is my favorite space video
Same
Astrophobia: A fear of space is also one of my favorite videos
Sorry. I was mistaken with titles:
“Why is space so terrifying?”
Is the correct one. Done about 8 months ago
"And when you're sat down you're stationary, right?"
Arnold: "Wrong."
The quality of your work never fails! You are truly amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work and time put into this channel.
Great video!
There is an interesting theory about negative mass that correlates weirdly with what we are observing.
Basically negative mass exist (theorized but unproven) and the matter of the universe is repelled by it. Forming those honeycomb type structures made of galaxy.
I cant believe you released this 3 years ago...i still cant comprehend how huge this universe is. Ever since ive seen this video ive bewn wondering whats behind that wall..i love your channel and i hope youre doing alright. Thanks for the countless times ive gotten lost on your topics.
This one's my favorite. Awesome to think that something massive is dragging us and a large part of the universe towards it.
it's your mom

This is only one connection in the web of filaments.
I´ve seen A LOT of vids on YT dealing with universe. I love astronomy but only now have discovered this marvelous channel. Absolutely incredible! This deserves millons of views!

Nervous humor I guess, to cover having to wrap my brain around the distances, masses, and just the size of things in the Universe. I love astronomy and astrophysics but sometimes it's so staggering that I need to drop into humor mode.
Finally!!! Someone has gotten around to addressing the apparent discrepancy between constantly telling us that all galaxies are drifting away from each other, yet some areas are coming closer together. Thank you.
Awesome piece of work, from the research to the video and audio, with a solid delivery - keep it up!!
Just wanted to say, I've been a fan since the GD days of this channel and i love the direction your channel is going in now. Your videos are high quality and entertaining and they are awesome. Keep it up, sea!
I just discovered your channel, via this video, this morning - clearly The Attractor attracted Great me. NEVER have I paused a video as much as this just to think. Only at 22.47 and paused to thank too. You.
Watching this again two years later. I love watching things about strange not fully explainable things in space 🌌
The scales and timeframes are just so amazing and unimaginable.
I absolutely love how humbling these types of videos can make people it all just blows my mind
It blows my mind how unimaginably vast the universe is sometimes. Space exploration and development is one of the few things makes me excited for the future.
@TheLuftwaffle - it is the ONLY thing that makes me excited for the future 😆😄
Or feel insignificance due to its size
mad respect for the camra man who ventured out to these places
Always been interested in this kind of knowledge and video and it never fails me to give me goosebumps whenever I found new content..
you calm my anxiety and nourrish my brain, thank you for all the work you put in your channel
It's crazy that we've known Shapley supercluster for almost 100 years
Excellent, and superbly presented video. If only all you tube videos were professionally presented in this way, Informative, clear speech, without all the silly Gimmiks and Fast moving Images and Graphics and No Loud Music. Thankyou for presenting us with an Outstandingly Interesting video. Having watched thousands of U Tube videos over many years on all different kinds of subjects, I have to say this Channel is The Best and in my opinion the Gold Standard of How a video should be presented regardless of the subject matter. I subscribed and liked after watching the very first video of yours that I saw. Thank You and please continue making excellent videos like this, dont change a thing Brilliant.
my friends and I have been enjoying your work too much so far, we've been learning more than ever, like we were young again. We want you famous
Ice cold ❄️ love the freakin video, you always surprise me with you contents, this channel has been my resting place in this tiring world. Much love from the Philippines!
Anyone else get an immense feeling of fomo knowing we'll never get to hang out in a supercluster for the astronomical tiny timeframe that they will exist?
lololol oh hey! i know you lolololol
@@b_dockk this time you’re the creep finding me 😅
