Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well Vsauce's videos have aged.
How?
There nearly a decade old now and still so good even relevant to new content
I remember when this video came out. I'm the oldest person on earth
Space and science are always relevant
If it went online for the first time today, 2020, it would be considered an amazingly well done video
that animation of vsauce in space was truly traumatizing.
I thought I was just a wimp lol
well im not scared of it anymore because i only chickened out of this video when i was a little kid
his Saturn V was a Saturn II at best.
I think it's a nice way to die
@EightyNiner hey 🅿️sauce, 🅱️ichael here
You’re telling me scientists spent all that money and time to build an entire rover to send to Titan and they decide to PUT THE CAMERA IN VERTICAL.
Horizontal is best.
Tbf boomers
It was not a rover... it was more of a tiny can
slight correction, it wasnt a rover, it was basically a tin can with a parachute, and what he showed onscreen is only a slice of the few panoramas the craft made, you can go search it up
*Portrait
When he mentioned wormholes I just realized that if you go through a wormhole that took you say 1 light year away, you could theoretically, watch yourself go into the wormhole one year later
Also if you had a ridiculously large telescope (tens of lightyears in diameter) and a wormhole that takes you you to a distant galaxy about 65 million light years away you'd even be able see the dinosaurs.
@@Universal_Anomalies yeah I think I remember seeing that somewhere now that you mention it
@@chillies696 Me too, I wonder if it was the same video.
@@Universal_Anomalies Me wanna! Dinosaurs are the best!
What'd be so special about that tho, you can see dinosaurs on trees every day :p
You may even be able to buy and eat dinosaur meat at some grocery stores~
In 1903, New York Times said that mankind can build a working plane in a million years...
How wrong were they
yup :) Also once one of the Wright brothers said that mankind will never be able to fly :)
+Gulya - Nintendo I think they meant in a million that a factory will just build another plane that happens to work.

I know right? I kept waiting for the video to start breaking down tech developments & discussing long term plans but no... It kept going in random directions and covering interesting but unrelated trivia

Or may be aliens also.tryimg to figure out how to travel light speed
Or they are copying our methods, using Facebook whilst blending into society
The second biggest problem in traveling light speed is accelerating without killing the passengers, the first is obviously we have no clue how to get so fast.
that could be true but that would imply life started on their planet the same time it started on ours which is highly improbable. it's more likely if aliens exist they've existed longer than us and therefore are more technologically advanced

E X I was quoting...
This is why I am afraid to die. Not because of the pain. Because I'll miss out on everything. Possible Interstellar travel and meeting aliens. How the history of our civilizations will be. Fuckin' sucks mate.
I agree but I think we still have a lot to look forward to.
I understand you. We will be more intelligent, more healthy, and we would advance at a rate ten times more shocking than the rate electricity gave us. But that comes at a cost. Our culture. What we have constructed in our existance will be replaced, one by one, building by building, language by language, by a more efficient, futuristic, and beautiful one. By a non-human one. Piece by piece, the human cultures would fade away. If an alien would ask us today "What have you achieved as a species, without the help of any other?" We could be talking for hours about incredible things that we have made by ourselves, while two thousand years later, we would be silent or refer only to the distant past. Which would be like talking about Rome or Ancient Egypt. Fascinating, but ancient and outdated. I am not saying that the sacrifice of our culture is not worth it, because it really, REALLY is worth it. Just saying that we have a larger opportunity to enjoy our own culture than our distant children will.
We all are really not grateful of what we have now. If you were to be born in the 15th century so what will you do.
+Ringuin None claimed that this is going to happen. We're discussing if it happens. IF. A "what if" scenario, you know?
Well.. If you're born into a world where everything has been "perfected" there would be nothing new.. It would suck to be born in that generation
I really appreciate that you use metric units.
Anyone else think about the fact that you could be looking up at a star in the night sky and in that solar system their could be an intelligent being there looking back at one of your ancestors without ever knowing it

When speeding up video, the audio frequencies are sped up as well. This can be remedied by shifting the pitch back to the pitch of normal playing speed. The same could be done with light. Once it has shifted to higher frequencies, the frequencies could be reduced to bring the shifted light back into the visible spectrum of human vision.
The frequency stays the same
Vsauce thought process:
"It sure is cloudy today..."
"Am I real? Are you real? What if we could travel at the speed of light? Are we alone in space?"
"is that cloud's experience of consciousness the same as my experience of consciousness?"
Arguably, those clouds can cause a black hole.

... or maybe they don't have the technology either to come and visit us
That's always what I thought. Like in alien films or games, if we don't have the equipment to visit other planets why would they?
Or some might not have any tech at all
Best Friend a
Or maybe just microorganisms
The paradox is that, if the universe is as old as we think it is, and infinitely large as we think it is, probability determines that there IS life out there on a similar technological level as us, but there also SHOULD exist life eons more advanced. Given the age of the universe and the possible age of life within it, interstellar travel should be happening already if it is possible, and so raises the question of why we haven't been visited.
So, it's most-likely impossible, or so nearly impossible that it's incredibly rare, or so nearly impossible that life usually goes extinct before ever effectively achieving it.
Whenever i watch Videos like these, I imagine going back in time to show it to scientists back then and just thinking of their reactions
There's also the possibility that other intelligent life on other planets might have arisen millions of years before earth formed and have went extinct, thus they don't visit us now.
I heard this in your human extinction video and I thought it would be cool to bring this up.

Y’all just gonna ignore the Vsause pp
It’s so poetic to me to think that we’re in the only place where life exists. Leads to the idea that we are burdened with the power to discover. Because if not for us, the universe wouldn’t even know it existed. Since there would be no one to note its existence. It’s a lonely idea but I feel like this line of thinking would push us even more to learning and discovering the cosmos. Because who else is going to?
A) You can't know that for sure because of the possibility that Plautonism, Panpsychism, spiritual dimensions or other such ideas might be true.
B) Who care what the universe "knows." It's an object, with conscious life inside of it. You even subconsciously imply that when you use the word "it" instead of "they."
Example:
"The class of philosophy 101 knew that the Final exam would be worth 70% of its grade, so it all showed up on time."
"The employees were tired of working for minimum wage so it striked for better pay."
"The contents of my bedroom was devastated because I left my bathroom, and now the contents of my bathroom no longer knows itself."
No one talks like that, and it's weird to think like that. Morality in the vast majority of philosophies is for and with respect to people (or God).
Plus, the extreme version of that line of thinking is pro "I Am Legend" or keeping "the universe knowing itself" as rare as 1 person. Why does "we're the only place" stop at the boundaries of the atmosphere and not the boundaries of the galaxy or your country or your house?
Also, there's a lot of historical and archeological mysteries on earth. Why was such and such building built, what was such and such weird gizmo used for, what subjects did books in the library of Alexandria tend to be written about?
These are examples of actual lost knowledge about our past and what life was like before modern technology. Discovering life on other planets going thru the iron age, making similar sorts of things and being able to study and observe them would definitely be more of a motivating "push" towards learning and discovery than a cosmos filled with nothing but lifeless rocks and gasses.

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
― Arthur C. Clarke
Very true wkblauwster, i actually always think about that, but I don't see how we could be the only planet in the entire universe with living organisms, that would be a bit ridiculous. I think that there are living beings in forms so foreign to us, that we pass over them without giving it a thought. Like, maybe there are living planets.
Danny Helser What happens if humanity dies before we find out? That is even more terrifying.
demon mutant ninja zombie What if there WAS life on another planet, but it was wiped out by some cataclysmic extinction event on their planet? Or they figured out we were here, and died trying to get to us? I am a strong believer that we are not alone in this universe. The chance of habitable conditions for life as we know it is incredibly slim, but divided by the estimated amount of planets in the known universe, there IS life on other planets. But maybe we will never come into contact with them. Maybe when we do come into contact with them, it will just be a few surviving colonists long after earth, and the rest of the human race, has been wiped out.

Just watched this again after years and the nostalgia is both depressing and touching
What's so mind blowing is despite the distance between our solar system and the nearest STAR being unfathomably far (4.2 light years away).... We still have the distance between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and Andromeda (2.537 MILLION light years away) that dwarfs that already unfathomable distance. No words can properly convey these distances.
All we can do is attribute TIME in the thousands to millions of years to give these distances some weight in our minds. It's just too (pick a descriptor you think is best) for us to meaningfully grasp.
As far as the Fermi Paradox goes I think it's pretty likely that we just aren't worth visiting. A civilization that would be able to reach us would be so advanced that the production level achievable by the entire human population would be insignificant. It could be useful to study us, though. Or experiment with our genetics. It's kind of funny to imagine that we might just be a stop on a cosmic field trip for some students to gawk at our comparatively primitive civilization.
life probably doesnt exist in our galaxy at least not intelligent life while there maybe many convincing hypothesis about the fermi paradox i think the most realistic is that life is just really rare and intelligent life even more so. Maybe there is also a barrier to technological progress or that societies just stop being as expanding as we are because there isn’t really any reason to be. Another great theory i have heard goes as follows. If we think that intelligent live out there has even the tinniest path resemblence to than they would inevitably build Ai that can produce self replicating nano technology and it would only take one of those to destroy their entire galaxy or life wipe it.
Carl Sagan suggested that, due to the immense universe, intelligent beings as civilizations could come and go, at different time periods, perhaps for thousands of years, yet each either becoming extinct before encountering another. He used a Christmas tree with lights, showing that by the time intelligent beings from one 'light' would reach another, it's light would be burnt/out. It would take a great cosmic coincidence that two would meet, but that if they did, it would be two AI robotic units making the encounter.
Condor Umm I think we should send Watson
It is presumptuous to assume *each and every single* civilization would extinct before they meet. There is no guidebook to lifespan of a planetary civilization. Human civilization have existed for a few thousand years now, the only thing we take example from is our destructive nature. But even us haven't gone extinct yet. And there is great chance for us to exist for millions of years more. Even under the worst case scenario. Sure, we don't know if other intelligent beings will be more or less violent than us, but even if they were just the same as us, they would still have the same great chance. So there is no base for to assume a civilization would only exist for a very brief time period.
There could be other dangers than self extinction, but there is scientific evidence that natural disasters, whether planetary or from space, can take very, very long time to repeat, enough time to allow a civilization to spread to other planets.
Just like the PBS Space Time channel host, I reject to believe the Fermi Paradox. There are only a few logical explanations to the reason we haven't met any other civilization. 1- "Intelligent" life is rarer than our thought (we're the only intelligent race we know of) 2- Space travel is harder than our guess and there is no way to work around the speed of light - things like wormholes don't exist.
Greasy King nonsense
I think we can easily achieve that by becoming immortal ourselves, yes it'll take quite a while but we can simply become androids with our consciousness in our processors and our body made of strong durable materials, if we achieve that, if we become AI or part-cyborg part-human, us the human race can very well meet someone else who either did the same, or another machine race altogether.
Condor might as well add our little Bixby to the group as well now lol

extremely cool video! i especially appreciated your dispassionate consideration of yourself as human jerky. xD
i have no doubt that there are millions of advanced civilizations in addition to ours, all over the universe...and i also have no doubt that neither we, nor they, will ever be able to have "efficient" interstellar travel. the distances are just too too great, as are the energy and time requirements (compounded by relativity: travel for 1 year at 99.9% light speed and 22 years passes at home, so by the time you reach even the nearest stars, hundreds of years have passed on your home planet). add in complications like the impossibilities of seeing and/changing direction (too much inertia!) and communication between planets, and it's all just fantasy. we must fix our own problems, on our own planet.
Michael, please bring back this old and beloved format! :)
Couldn't extraterrestrials have already passed us? I mean, our records of homo sapiens beginning to make cities and start farming occur only 10,000 years ago and after; the end of the last ice age. For the previous 4.6 billion years Earth existed, they might have passed us, thinking we were too primitive and left.
The Illuminati Or maybe they even visited Earth but we just have no records of it.
The Illuminati Confirmed

‘ Piece of cake ‘
Me- oh!
‘Piece of difficult cake’
Me- oh.
In 1903 the new York times said it would take 1-10 million years before man could make a machine that Flys , 10 or so years later the wright brothers flew a plane this proves that anything is possible someone could make something in 10 years that makes us travel at the speed of light it could be me or you.
Light speed actually is impossible :|
Well according to Michael anyways
Sajid Sheik Without bending spacetime, yes.

I'm only 16 bro
so let's not get too exited
Sajid Sheik In space no one can here your pessimism though
Nerdology INC Light speed is impossible with conventional propulsion. The Theory of Relativity states this well, as an infinite amount of energy is required to allow anything with mass to travel the speed of light.

Lmao 😂

Vsauce IS the history channel at 3 am
vsauce just convinced me to live my life in a way that makes light years of travel worth it just to hang out with me
For some reason you find this comment in 2023 then the fastest thing right now is the Parker Solar Probe and it goes 430,000 mph or 700,000 kph for you Europeans but still at that speed it would still take about 6,900 years to reach the closest star to us
Yup
@@Milk___s yup
