  • These videos are so comfy. Sometimes you just want to put on some science and chill, it’s no fun if the video is 10 minutes and you gotta be picking something else soon. 42 minutes of high quality content and you can actually relax.
  • A billion years ago is about 4.3 Galactic years. That amount of time always breaks my brain. We are such a “day and years” species, it's unfathomable to me how researchers can even begin to comprehend the enormous temporal distance. Great vid!
  • it is called Black sea from Ottoman customs, as they identified the cardinal directions with colors, and black stands for north. Westerners adopted Ottoman naming for the Red (south) sea as well. Great work, thank you so much!
  • I am a chemist and astronomer at heart, but I must admit, these videos you make really peak my interest in geology and biology immensely .
  • 36:40 I understood that reference! nice one. the quality of the video is excellent as usual for your channel. I am always happy to see a new one in my inbox.
  • The writing, narration and production quality on these videos is absolutely stunning. It leaves 99% of TV documentaries in the dust.
  • I'm really impressed with the narrative progression of this series. Ms. Battison did an excellent job with the script for this episode. Thanks for all your work to the whole team.
  • Ive been in love with this channel for months. Its got a non intrusive and short intro thats so rare. Often times most channels their intro feels 5x louder. Then the writing is just stellar. Hearing shit like "...the sun was still a deadly lazer." fucking cracks me up, every episode is captivating and theres that bit of humor mixed in too. Amazing work, thanks!
  • One of my favorite things about this channel and history of the universe is the story at the beginning that is written so well that I forget for a moment what I was originally watching until the Segway happens, and then gets woven into the main topic later. I swear these ~45 minutes always pass too quick and leave me yearning for more. Keep fueling our curiosity!
  • @Phyx1u5
    its like he's reciting a beautiful 42 minute long poem. excellent content. thank you.
  • I remember when both of the channels started. Came right out of the gate with high quality, epic content. I believe I have watched every one twice, and many of them I have seen more than once. Thank you for making these videos.
  • I'm not quite ready to watch this yet, it's a bed time thing, but I can't tell you how excited I am that it's droped 😃 this and history of the universe are by far and away my favourite channels!
  • I got unreasonably happy when he said “The sun is a deadly laser”
  • brilliantly and masterfully scripted. as a sparsely educated layman i've had and continue to have many critical links in my understanding of our planet revealed and explained here. very grateful to all behind this exceptional channel.
  • imagine this guy being your spouse, how often you would be having a conversation with him, and then waking up with only a memory of a half of a conversation... It would be rough
  • “ The sun is a deadly laser” The way I looked up from painting my nails when you said that-
  • I remember smoking a joint for the first time in years and coming across the “what was earth like 4 billion years ago” back when it was first posted. Oh my god i hadn’t had such distinct and amazing visuals in my head… like ever. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. I love watching your videos late at night in a dark room… phone screen off, and just drifting into “that” space. Thanks for clearing and easing my ruthless mind. I don’t have many things that help me anymore. Music doesn’t help anymore. I lost my bestfriend last year (22 years old.) My endless thoughts have drove me to suicide 4x in 2021. I’m not here for sympathy, or to say that you saved me… but i’m just here to say thank you for these fascinating videos. Thanks for turning the volume down on my brain and for turning sleepless nights into wild dreams and peaceful nights. Keep these videos coming! Please 💕
