A bit of context: I made a video a few years back called Let's Build a Time Machine with Pickles and Sadness. It was awful. The initial idea had been to try explaining what a gap there currently is between general relativity and quantum mechanics. What came out instead was the video equivalent of soft-serve vanilla ice cream garnished with ostrich droppings. But the thing has been haunting me ever since and I wanted to give it another go. So that's what this was. Why on earth are you so far down in the description anyway? Are you looking for a completely unrelated mystery link?

You mostly talked about the existential dread of the cosmic scale (and that's great), but as a biotechnology student I would like to mention that the microscopic scale can invoke similiar feelings. The other day, my class were watching paramecium under the microscope and, when done, we washed them down the utility drain. And as I was doing so, I had that thought, that we're sending thousands of those tiny creatures down a fall equivalant to falling off a mountain to us, that if they could feel fear, they would probably be terrified, yet to us it's mundane clean-up that we are annoyed we must do. We don't care. Just as the supermassive black hole doesn't care about us.

"You are nothing. You are everything. It's galactic gaslighting." has got to be your best quote yet.

You regained my liking into physics and space, and made my crippling depression even higher. But no for real, I had lost my interest in physics and maths when I was ending secondary school (1-2 years ago) and I'm hating physics in my university, but you woke up that curiosity again and I'm going to fucking take it by the hand and never let it go again. Man, I really don't know how a professor can destroy my love for something and just one random (and fucking marvelous) video make me so passionate about everything. I'm going to pass my grades for real. I believe in me

The section about black holes (between around 9:30 to 13:45) is amongst of the most powerful media I have ever witnessed. It is not just an existential/scientific section: it is art, and you, exurb1a, are an artist. Thank you.

The bad thing about this channel is that is the only channel that makes this kind of videos. I didn't found any other channel that gives me the feels that this one gives me.

Your Saturn story really hit home for me. I was about 10 years old (mid 1960s) and my Dad was a scientist in New Mexico. He had friends who were had some really good telescopes. One very clear, very cold night at high elevation and away from stray light sources his buddies had set up a large telescope. Saturn was out and was tilted so the rings were clear. They got it lined up and I took a look. Earlier I had seen the point of light that was the planet, and now I saw in its glory. It was really there. It had to be huge, just floating out in space. It didn’t care. I was very, very small. It was my first, and strongest inkling of existential dread. I learned more that night that I learned in entire semesters in school.

This channel never ceases to comfort me via the lightly distasteful acceptance of our reality and the secret beauty it holds. Thank you for the existential grounding Exurbia

The Monet joke is enough energy I need to keep going. Just to see you put in effort for a little joke like that whilst explaining cosmic terror just puts a smile on my face. Somehow you always manage to comfort me. For a long time i refused to watch you videos because i was depressed and did not want to trigger my existential crisis with yours. But then i realised i could just be more like you. Philosophizing about life while still enjoying it by laughter, love and knowledge. Thanks for everything xxx

I'm an electronics engineer who's obsessed with modern physics and the way you explained Einstein's work it's just hilarious, who would have thought 1 year in a college could be summarised like that

The reason I love exurb1as videos is because it shows how the universe itself is often times more strange and beautiful than anything we could write in science fiction, the message from 8 million species of aliens really made me start to take more notice of the world around me

This is my favourite narration ever. A perfect mix of everything, rolled into one seamless mystical journey.

I wish I could think of a way to accurately sum up how much I love your content. You've been igniting my passion for science and philosophy since I was 14 years old (perhaps a little young for some of your jokes but who cares it got me here). Anyways thank you, that's all I got.

You have great storytelling skills, you inch closer to articulating existential questioning well more than anyone I’ve ever heard and I admire that so much!

i feel like black holes are always described in the most terrifying and personal way. it's like the people explaining it are aiming to make children develop phobias about them... but like you said, it's not about us. we don't have to worry about being spaghettified because we are not even remotely close to a black hole in our human lifespans. but still. my heart rate definitely went up during that part of the video. maybe it's just me that has a primal fear of black holes.

I love to have realized that the mistakes and blunders are just as, if not more, important than the successes and the eureka moments ❤ makes it all feel a bit less pointless
