I love Hank's reaction to the universe having no edge, and I feel his pain when everyone around him is all like "whatevs".
Same
This video was actually my very first introduction to the vlogbrothers. I remember thinking Who are these weird people and why are they on a stage performing? Then I watched every vlogbrothers video and found out that there is nothing special about them, but at the same time there is everything special about them. They are just two brothers making videos for each other and they happened to change my life a little bit.
Best comment.
Exactly the same for me! I've actually read one of John's books (looking for Alaska), which I absolutely loved,without knowing who he is, then Charlie mentioned him a few times, still not knowing who that John is. Then through Charlie discovered Michael and this video. It's still one of my favourite videos on CZcams, I just love the beginning so much.
Me toooo!
they’re still here and still amazing!
Dude... no edge...
Dude... No edge
+Luciano Sandoval I love your profile pic!
Thanks :), It's from the channel MinutePhysics
gotta love MinutePhysics :)
All the way!
I think the universe having no edge is more interesting than chocolate being delicious
I'm amazed it took him until he was over 30 years old to find out that chocolate is delicious.
The observable universe does have an edge, the full universe doesn't.
Maybe.
The universe beyond the observable one is definitionally unknowable. We assume that it behaves according to the laws of physics and similarly to the observable universe.
For all we know, the universe has an edge and it's made of crunchy candy coating.
Dan Heidel Yum.

Incorrect. Anything beyond the edge of the observable universe is definitionally unobservable. The CMBR gives us some constraints upon a wider range of the cosmos than direct observation but either way, you eventually reach a range where we can say absolutely nothing with certainty.
We assume that the laws of physics are constant regardless of location. This is a reasonable assumption but ultimately just that - an assumption. Many mainstream theories posit that the laws of physics are quite different beyond our obsevational range.
Ultimately, we know nothing of what lies beyond our observational horizon. Therefore there is no guaranteee that we will ever know the answer to whether the universe is infinite or bounded.
Daniel W
I don't disagree that the most likely explanation is that the same laws hold for the universe beyond what we can observe. The candy coating is a frivolous example but one that underlines the fact that there is a limit beyond which we cannot and can never (assuming the current expansion rate of the universe continues as it presently does) know anything about.
Beyond a certain point, all spacetime is moving away from us at faster than c. It doesn't matter if you move. Unless you posit FTL travel, there is literally no way for you to ever observe any physical interaction with those parts of the universe. This is a radius only slightly larger than what we already demarcate as the observable universe.
Many models of inflation predict that the laws of physics we know only hold for the area around us. It is entirely likely that basic physics constants are radically different beyond that observable threshold.
We literally know nothing about anything beyond the visible radius. A candy coating has precisely as much observation and scientific basis as any other model. You can make assumptions about it similarity to the place we live in but that assumption has literally the exact same amount of evidence as the universe being a giant M&M.
I can just imagine the new advertisements...
"Chocolate chip Clif bars: more interesting to John Green than the fact that the universe has no edge."
I feel like “dude, no edge” would be something I would say if I were talking about science while high
Dude...
NO EDGE
I absolutely love how this video makes me feel like I was apart of the experience even though I wasn't there. That is a great use of cinematography and thank you for giving the nerdfighters who couldn't make it this beautiful slice of the tour.
I need a pick-me-up. This is in my favorites list. This is my first of who-knows-how-many pick me up videos. Thank you Michael. Thank you Hank. Thank you John. Dude, no edge.
0:35 well, the OBSERVABLE universe has an edge...
Yeah, I was getting mad at that.
Yea and we don't know whether the actual universe has an edge or not? It could be the surface of an infinite hyperplane. It could be the surface of a finite hyperplane or the surface of a hypertoroid or whatever shape you can imagine. We just don't know.
I think what he means is that the edge of the observable universe is different for every observer, but what's outside the observable universe, nobody knows.
Hank, use your words!
I love this video so much, I've seen it like eight times.
DUDE! NO EDGE!
I can't really find a more creative way to say 'this was good'
Hank's way is best. I feel you Hank
still one of my fav videos of all time
It's amazing just how much of this video I can still recite, eight years after the fact.
I will never get tired of this video.
What happened to: “…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”???
I literally come back to this video like twice a year and every single time it gives me the feels. 2012 is the year I started watched the Vlogbrothers and I'm still watching them to this day. I love the editing, I love the music, I love that this video made me discover you, Michael, as well, especially since I started watching your vlogs and I've learned more about you and your f*cking amazing skills and your general awesomeness. Gawd. Such good people
I have watched this video possibly 500 times in the last 4 days. I can quote the whole thing with the appropriate timing. And I *still* can't stop watching. I love it.
I love how Hank's just got shocked jumping around in pain looks just like the gleeful dancing.
John, where's your sense of wonder?!
trinimartini Yeah... No offense, John, but with that attitude, how are you in the living of writing novels about philosophical protagonists again?
NO EDGE
Thank you, Michael, for filming this and sharing it with the world. You always remember to be awesome!
It's been months, and I STILL watch this, and it STILL makes me happy. :)
Can we get a remix of this? Something that goes no no edge n-n-n-no no no edge. edge. edge
Is this THE origin of the no edge nerd fighter thing??
alrightythen214 yes this is the FIRST time this happened
Best video about the Tour de Nerdfighting that I have seen. Thank you Michael Aranda!!!
Michael, this is just....perfect. The whole Tour de Nerdfighting experience. Thank you.
DUUUUUDE!!! NO EDGE.
Dude. No. Freaking. Edge.
Dude, no edge.
I kind of can't stop watching this video. It just puts a smile on my face:)
one of my favourite videos OF ALL TIME
Edge?
NO. EDGE.
DUDE. NO EDGE.
I love the vlogbrothers so much because they are the only CZcamsrs I know who organize days where they can go out and meet their fans. Their screaming, intellegent, nerdy fans. I also love them because I've learned so much from them. I have Hank's music on my iPod, I have all of John's books, and it would make me so happy if they came to Michigan because I would get a chance to meet them.
I am so surprised that it took me this long to stumble upon this and gosh now I just love the song so much more. Thanks, Michael for bringing this here.
DUDE! NO EDGE! I am literally the satanic spawn of hank green
Apparently I Do not know the correct definition of literally
Dude... No edge.
I could just watch the beginning of this video over and over.
This was amazing. Thank you so much, Michael.
Thank you so much, Mike Aranda, for making a professional grade video of the tour. And also for capturing this wonderful NO EDGE conversation.
HANK. I feel you man. I feel you. I think the universe, and much of its content, is marvelous beyond comprehension. Love the channel(s), and the brotherly love. Reminds me of my own kinship.
I can't even tell you the amount of times I have watched this video. So good!
Videos like these that involve the vlogbrothers are amazing.
I'm watching this for like the dozenth time but I think this is the first time I noticed Michael actually in the video. LOL! I can't get enough of this video.
This quite possibly could be the greatest video I have ever seen.
My favourite video. EVER. I keep watching it over and over. :") I love how John is like so pissed at the beginning, and Hank is just like "don't judge I was FASCINATED" and just aaaghh
This is still great four and a half years on.
Returning to this one after John's "Ten Years since TFIOS" video. Thanks for getting footage of this great night! #NoEdge
Freaking far out, watching the first minute and a half of this video makes me so happy for just no discernible reason.
OMG!
I have been looking for this song for so long !!!
Honestly the best video I've seen this week. Good job~
I love this video too much.
the drum intro to the song is awesome. I want that on loop
this is probably my all time favorite youtube video.
I'll never get tired of watching this.
Yes! Hank as a ballerina! God bless you for making this!
John's method of making Hank see his own drunken-fraternity-boy style of being in awe of the universe was beautiful. Scathing and beautiful
soooo in love with this!!!
This vid always brings me to a better mood
I love Hank's look of terror as he's about to get shocked.
This video completely captures how epic this community is. Thank you.
Thanks for the behind the scenes footage! Very cool.
This was really well put together. Nicely done Michael!
This may be my favourite video on the internet
Favorite Aranda video ever.
this was such a treat, especially since the TdN didn't come my way this time- well done Michael.
DUDE. NO. EDGE. This is the wonderfulest Tour De Nerdfighting 2012 video I have viewed.
I love this video cause it introduced me to both Michael Aranda and the Vlogbrothers. One would say that this video was my opening to being a Nerdfighter.
"Dude, No Edge...!"
Soon to be my new favorite inside joke, as soon as I tell my friends about this video!
DFTBA!
this video is amazing:) it's nice that you got to hang out with the vlogbrothers again!
can't handle so many michael aranda videos in such a short period...
Just so you know Michael, this video was brilliantly edited!!!
You've got some mad skills, Michael -- and I DO NOT say that to everyone. For those of us who could not be there, you gave us a taste of what it was like to see John and Hank on tour. Thank you!
Michael, I really love the music you put behind this
This makes me so happy
this is one of the best videos on the internet.
It's funny how this is such a simple video but it touches me so deeply
This was amazing! Great video skills, Michael, you captured the pure awesomeness that is Hank, John, and The Katherine.
It feels incredibly awesome watching this and knowing I was in that audience. Really awesome! Nerdfighter audiences are amazing!
I can't get enough of this video :)
Your videos are really such quality. This is amazing. Also, hilarious. But just fantastically edited as well. Favourited. :)
I simply couldn't stop myself from smiling as I watched this, and that's a wonderful feeling :)
Your videos are some of my favourite ones to watch, they are just so good. I want to elaborate on this point, but I can't really think of anything to add. XP
I really love the way you edited this one :D
I saw this before they talked about it on vlogbrothers
...I feel so special
That really does make a big difference!!
Thanks for sharing. I am so sad I missed the tour when it was nearish to me.
I love listening to these two talk to each other. I mean, it's just casual conversation, but they're still so eloquent and their vocabularies are amazing. People like John and Hank keep the English language alive! :D
Michael, this video is awesome!!!! Thanks for making it :)
this is beautiful
OMG! it's amazing!
VlogBrothers are amazing,this video is amazing and song in video is amazing! *___*
Thank you for taking us there!
Thank you for creating this when I desperately needed something hilarious to cheer me up. NO EDGE
love this video. so bummed i missed them. oh, those boys.
I like how everyone just starts dancing after Hank gets shocked :)
