Great video on supernovae! Amazing that we were both working on the same topic at the same time. I hope everyone knows that these videos take months of lead time for both of us so there is no way one video was inspired by the other or vice versa.
@Chris Davies I mean to be fair that's how irrational fears exist regardless, you know its irrational but you still feel fear. It would be unfair to say they can't perceive the risk correctly, they are well aware.
You know you stand zero chance of being affected by a supernova - right? That was the whole point of this video. If it scares you, then you can't calculate/perceive risk correctly.
Imaging humanity a 10 million years from now (if we survive) is just mind blowing. If we make it that far, we will probably be all over the known universe and be present in millions of planets.
Good video. I was curious if *famous people, youtubers etc* uses iGrams to get more boost in terms of you know, fans etc. make video about that? btw iGrams is just the site where they sell and (now) giveaway etc i don't use it idk lol
6:10 Wouldn’t the increased thunderstorms help regenerate the ozone layer? I read somewhere that lightning creates a significant amount of ozone. Unless I’m mistaken.
It is a casual agent in retrospect of the increase in ozone, however in the case of an increased rate of thunderstorms it will end up becoming deadly, if not lethal to organisms (plants specifically but animals in severe cases)
The ozone generated by thunderstorms will be much lower in the atmosphere and just act as a pollutant for the most part. Besides the still incoming radiation will break it apart again anyway
Hello, I love the videos you do on space, it would be great if one of your next videos talked about the aquaponics system and its use in space missions. 😄
I was under the impression a nearby supernova would simply blow the atmosphere from earth, leaving something like Mars, with 1mb of surface pressure - practically a vacuum.
this is really getting me thinking about what new life would look like if a supernova happened and it had to basically hit the "reset" button. how would future organisms adapt to the radiation? how would potential intelligent life make use of the things we left behind? i love how much this channel makes me think. never change, i beg of you all.
@SuperHellolaura and he’s “saving” me from what. You speak of all of this without any evidence. Cite sources outside the Bible and then we can talk. If not, kick rocks
Hello, as always love your work... but this time I'm curious about those waiving flags, why you choose to use a bare hand 🖐 impact to describe super human's presence over there.👀🤷♂
The fear of a supernova exploding within my lifetime is so small I’m not worried at all I’ll probably be dead if a supernova ever happens within my lifetime
Maybe this is a simple explanation for Fermi Paradox. But still, counting on the amount of stars and galaxies I just cant believe there is not more life out here in the Universe.
This is the scariest Kurzgesagt video I've watched. I'm glad it's so unlikely despite a 100ly radius being all it takes to turn earth into a living hell.
One of the best things about this X-vid channel is that it gives science backed information which isn't normally accessible, breaks it down to a level where almost anyone can understand, constantly updates us with new research, and gives it to the public for free. Thank you for what you do, Kurzgesagt
@Daniel Duncan if they do make a mistake, they can just make another video correcting it, and most of the damage would be reversed. Its not that big of a deal.
Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 4:5
I think the single most important thing we can do to progress as a civilization would be to find a way to protect our bodies from radiation damage at a cellular level
@Andres Cavada All the evidence points towards it though, so it's likely to be how the universe actually began. Of course we can still be wrong, but the chance of that is quite small, although admittedly, not insignificantly small. But I wouldn't bet on it being much different than we have theorized.
@Yeetus Deletus bro animal life survived. Thats more complex life than the first 3 billion years of life on Earth. I mean as in life survived, not only survived but survived in very complex forms. Like apparently there'd still be insects, fish, crustaceans, plants, fungi, anything else deep in water or soil. Very complex organisms. Not just single celled organisms. It is impressive how much life (even complex life) can shrug off without dying out entirely.
I love the tonal whiplash of hearing how disastrous things could be at the same time as I'm vibing to the music, feels like vibing to abandon ship from subnautica
Could you make a video on all the different types of "novas?" Like comparing the power and sizes of different explosions. Compare and contrast different types of stars novas. Like I imagine a black hole star has a larger explosion at the end of its life than even a black hole evaporating at it's end. But I'm curious if I am wrong.
@Zach Rabaznaz it's crazy when you think about it like that, the universe literally has no meaning/reason to exist. It just does, no point, no meaning, no goal, literally nothing. At the same time I guess that makes complete sense, it just exists.
@ORANGUTEX "X thing (Usually a world) is cruel" is a common expression to show that the universe has pretty "Cruel" stuff in it, its not that the universe is cruel as a human is cruel. But its cruel as in anything and anyone can experience unspeakable things with all it being out of its control. Its a philosophical statement not a objective one.
@Star Cobra no it cant the universe isn't subjective, things like time, science and maths don't exist its just concepts invented by humans to help understand the universe. the universe doesn't care if it dies and it has no emotion and if I'm being honest its foolish to separate the universe and what is in the universe like they are 2 different things that are driven by 2 different forces
True that. I mean, I don't know how many of these will go supernova at some point, but one thing's for certain : We humans will be far away when that happens.
There might be a Supernova of a star close to the place where we are now when The Sun formed, because some scientists believe that The Sun started to spin (If I am not wrong) because there was a Supernova.
Well I think if we want to survive... We need know how to obtain and use huge (and for huge I mean more than imaginable today) amounts of energy. If we live enough to control our energy of our sun, we will make it.
Can you please make a video about sleep disorders? Insomnia, sleep apnea, upper airway resistance syndrome, restless leg syndrome, narkolepsy, plain snoring?
So first, this man creates a goddamn entire existencial crisis in myself by pure asking "what if a big boom hits you?" then proceeds to say i shouldn't be worried because i would be dead when that happens. Truly Kurzgesagt experience, love all of you guys.
I witnessed a super nova when I was in the middle east. The sky where I was, was very hazy and the only thing you could really see at night other than the moon was planets. I would track planets for fun while there and one night I noticed an extremely bright light in the path of Venus and thought the planet was shining bright for whatever reason, until it completely blimped out of existence. I sat in the desert confused for about an hour wondering what I just saw. It wasn't until Venus came over the horizon that I realized it must've been a super nova.
Supernova last weeks or months, not a couple of seconds. For the thousands of years we've been alive as a species humans have seen dozens. Can you imagine how rare they are to see? 1 super nova seen in the night sky per couple thousand years. If a supernova were to be seen from earth it would make the news. It isn't something that one person could just look up and see without the entire rest of the world also seeing it. Google the year you think you saw a supernova and discover how none happened that year. There hasn't been a supernova visible with the naked eye in our life times. I don't know what you saw. But I can tell you for absolute certain you did not see a supernova.
@Jack Oakley Believe. Super Novas last for weeks and months, not seconds. Apart from 1987A there hasn't been one for over 400 years visible to the naked eye. It sounds like an Iridium flare. They were the original GPS satellites and they had huge solar panels that made them flare up brighter than Venus on occaision. I saw hundreds of them during the 2010s. The brightest i ever saw was about minus 8 magnitude, almost as bright as a full Moon.
It's kinda scary thinking if future generations survive long enough for this to actually happen of course its billions of years from now so who knows how far we will come.
Supernovae often have jets of radiation from their magnetic poles. If one of these jets was pointing at Earth we would be in serious trouble even from several hundred light years.

We must to believe in Jesus. Doomsday is on the horizon. If you follow the Bible you will know that most all of the 1,800 prophecies has come to pass. Once the final few happen Jesus Christ will return. Jesus say, "But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?" Believe Jesus is the Son of God. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Read the Bible!
Interesting.. I want to know what happens if we just shatter the moon to pieces, would it lead to mass extinction, or just some fun rings in the night sky?
What's really fascinating is the fact that we found a layer of increased levels of radioactive iron in the archaeological record and we were able to eliminate any other possibility besides a supernova from 300 light years away.
@Kris b I hear this argument a lot and I'm curious to ask. Isn't that just a fundamental of life? How are the sciences excluded from the human experience. We make as much understanding as we can with the information at hand and then decide to act on it. Dispite it's many flaws the scientific community generally acts on this main principle.

@Kris b well.. thats kinda superficial... its not that "they change ideas" ... they make new observation that confirm or dispruve theyr theory, so they make new ones . its not exatly a frivolus idea change ..
They have a video on their channel "How to Make a Kurzgesagt Video in 1200 Hours" that briefly goes into it, but should give you a jumping off point for things to look into.
These videos are TV quality, yet you produce these and offer them to us for free -- not on one channel, but on multiple channels, most of which required translations -- all for free. I respect you. You guys are one of the channels that make X-vid. (DISCLAIMER BELOW, because there's a lot of debate in the replies.) A lot of people have taken "TV quality", to mean bad. However, I want to make it clear that I didn't mean the comment as an insult, but as a compliment. It is also important to note that I did mean streaming services, such as Netflix, not cable. Though I spend virtually no time watching either, this comment meant more so that this is quality content, that I could see becoming official rather than a X-vid operation. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy X-vid and consistently watch it, but you also have to remember that some X-vid channels (such as this one) are more... polished, than others, especially considering that this is the same platform that has the family vloggers, and "DON'T CALL AT 3 AM!!! 😲😲" videos.

@Clipyy I admit, although I'm chill most of time, sometimes I give up on conversations, and stop caring about if I'm rude or not. Flaw, I know, but it's so funny to see people being like -- "you're a stupid loser" because they can't even make good insults or comebacks. XD
The reveal of the two headed snake while talking about how radiation from cosmic rays would increase cancer and mutation rates to a noticeable level gave me goosebumps. So good.
What I really love about this channel is that when it discusses topics that could destroy earth, they assure the viewers that what they’ve talked about is extremely unlikely to happen, which probably helps calm down the kids that are scared to death.
I love the subtle change in music as the video goes on. Also, I love how you're well aware of the existential dread you can impart on others, but how you can use science to dissuade that dread too.
I believe they already made something about this topic. GRB is even worse the further you are since the area it affected widens the further you are from it.
superb video and narration, but background music is rather mundane I find. In factual documentaries generally music is not helpful or necessary, imho. Great work otherwise and thank you very much. I bought the book btw.
so from what i understand... if we ever explored space we couldnt really have a way of seing a super nova coming until its too late.. yea thats not good😅
Does anyone else feel this is a new era of videos? Some feeling in me feels these are way more knowledge filled, either that or ive been binging old vids lately lol
I'm in love with the fact that they've been ending their recent videos on a relatively happy note to combat the existential dread they usually inspire.
If we see a supernova explodes 30 ly from us.... Does it mean we have 30 years to prepare for a catastrophe? Or we just know it happened 30 years ago and we're doomed now, because we are facing the explosion and gamma rays are burning our eyes? 🤔😁
We will only know after the supernova gets to Earth. The good thing is that stars that go supernova are so rare that the closest ones are more than 200ly away from us
The best part about Kurzgesagt, apart of course from the beautiful scientific videos, is that they always include music from their previous videos to cite references. For example, at 9:17, they subtly added the OST from their video on stellar engine made 2 years ago where they talked about how to move the solar system out of harm's way.
Honest to god Kursgesagt is one of the greatest educating channels out there. With the quick release time of videos and the stellar visuals, it is probably the /best/ of them. Kudos to the Kursgesagt team who give us all the high quality work!

It's a funny one 😂
Ho
Wait a minute does the bubble created by the supernova expand forever, or does it collapse eventually? seriously... I think this is a good question
It's all just turbulent flow
@Marty M
Great video on supernovae! Amazing that we were both working on the same topic at the same time. I hope everyone knows that these videos take months of lead time for both of us so there is no way one video was inspired by the other or vice versa.
29 centímetros cabe en un metro?
@Jamie Sands se te chispoteó verdad?
That sounds a bit salty
@DANKSNAKECLIPS TROGLODITA
ALL OF THEIR INSPIRATION COMES FROM WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS WITH AGENDAS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y'all say some of the most concerning things sometimes, yet stay perfectly calm. Props to the voiceover!
@Chris Davies I mean to be fair that's how irrational fears exist regardless, you know its irrational but you still feel fear. It would be unfair to say they can't perceive the risk correctly, they are well aware.
@Skylar Sky, Queen of Chadutuva Either or is fine
Should we call your profile picture Grerby or Kirg?
You know you stand zero chance of being affected by a supernova - right?
That was the whole point of this video.
If it scares you, then you can't calculate/perceive risk correctly.
@Jack good :)
Imaging humanity a 10 million years from now (if we survive) is just mind blowing. If we make it that far, we will probably be all over the known universe and be present in millions of planets.
@Derrick Brown MAYBE. But probably not. Many human stupidities have happened and killed many. BUT NEVER THE WHOLE HUMANITY
@María Sofía Luengas Salazar "Yet, It's not as far as we think it is" Yeah it's probably much further.
no chance, we are doomed here.
For the God-Emperor of Mankind.
I hate when people say this. This will never be true. We’d have to be traveling at the speed at light at the bare minimum, and that will never happen.
you guys make me wanna live, and maybe change the world for the better
no ikr?? like i dont usually feel this way and interestingly enough, they do it while telling us very alarming things
I absolutely love how concepts from other videos were integrated into the vision of the future. The Dyson ring and solar engine were lovely touches.
Good video. I was curious if *famous people, youtubers etc* uses iGrams to get more boost in terms of you know, fans etc. make video about that?
btw iGrams is just the site where they sell and (now) giveaway etc i don't use it idk lol
I love how varied the content on this channel is. One day it's, "Look at this cool ant," the next it's, "Boy wouldn't it be fun if we went extinct?"
and also “lol imagine if you turned very small”
And who could forget about that giant star that probably never existed?
@Lennox Parsec and then the fact you have a high chance of getting a auto immune disease in your life time
And then a deep talk about depression.
6:10 Wouldn’t the increased thunderstorms help regenerate the ozone layer? I read somewhere that lightning creates a significant amount of ozone. Unless I’m mistaken.
@Deci Why?
It is a casual agent in retrospect of the increase in ozone, however in the case of an increased rate of thunderstorms it will end up becoming deadly, if not lethal to organisms (plants specifically but animals in severe cases)
@WyldCat ???
The ozone generated by thunderstorms will be much lower in the atmosphere and just act as a pollutant for the most part. Besides the still incoming radiation will break it apart again anyway
@Anonymous That, I don't know. But I imagine somewhere between 100 to 50LY and it would still suck so bad.
Hello, I love the videos you do on space, it would be great if one of your next videos talked about the aquaponics system and its use in space missions. 😄
This video has the best explanation for the supernovae 😊 Thank you guys! Always looking forward for more learnings through your videos. 🤗
I was under the impression a nearby supernova would simply blow the atmosphere from earth, leaving something like Mars, with 1mb of surface pressure - practically a vacuum.
This animation is amazing!! Beautiful work of art, the quality of postprocessing, effects and other things looks very-very cool!
"Taxes here I come"
Another amazing video! This channel really has some quality content on it. I always come back to watch whatever the new video is :)
this is really getting me thinking about what new life would look like if a supernova happened and it had to basically hit the "reset" button. how would future organisms adapt to the radiation? how would potential intelligent life make use of the things we left behind?
i love how much this channel makes me think. never change, i beg of you all.
Sounds like a wonderful writing prompt.
the fact that a few hundred light years away is enough to make the night glow is a real show of their power
@Joel Vanwinkle won’t explode for another 100k years tho lol
@SuperHellolaura and he’s “saving” me from what. You speak of all of this without any evidence. Cite sources outside the Bible and then we can talk. If not, kick rocks
@SuperHellolaura some dude just let himself get killed for no reason. There’s countless people who’ve done the same. How was his for our “sins”
honestly suprised it has to go from 300 to 4 lightyears for it to match the suns brightness
@SuperHellolaura I don't see it anywhere
Hello, as always love your work... but this time I'm curious about those waiving flags, why you choose to use a bare hand 🖐 impact to describe super human's presence over there.👀🤷♂
2:30 im sorry this was literally so adorable the narration with the timing of the art was too kuch for me. Please keep up the great work!
Can you also make a video about how would a supernova effect the nearby stars, gas giants and barren planets.
Your new intro is amazing! Thanks for the awesome videos, guys!
The fear of a supernova exploding within my lifetime is so small I’m not worried at all I’ll probably be dead if a supernova ever happens within my lifetime
Maybe this is a simple explanation for Fermi Paradox. But still, counting on the amount of stars and galaxies I just cant believe there is not more life out here in the Universe.
7:05 screenshot is legendary in terms of aesthetics! Very atmospheric, and an incredible illustration!
This is the scariest Kurzgesagt video I've watched. I'm glad it's so unlikely despite a 100ly radius being all it takes to turn earth into a living hell.
One of the best things about this X-vid channel is that it gives science backed information which isn't normally accessible, breaks it down to a level where almost anyone can understand, constantly updates us with new research, and gives it to the public for free. Thank you for what you do, Kurzgesagt
@Daniel Duncan That's not how the scientific process works. xD
AND is immensely entertaining.
@Marlon Moncrieffe then we're lucky to have more than one youtube channel that does so!
@Daniel Duncan if they do make a mistake, they can just make another video correcting it, and most of the damage would be reversed. Its not that big of a deal.

Of course we can still be wrong, but the chance of that is quite small, although admittedly, not insignificantly small. But I wouldn't bet on it being much different than we have theorized.
@Andres Cavada almost everything is a "theory" there are no "scientific facts"
@Andres Cavada how's that relevant at all to what I said, if ur referring to wether the big bang happened or not, maths doesn't lie.
Of course the beginning of the universe is a theory, and not a scientific fact, that was failed to be mentioned here.
@Yeetus Deletus bro animal life survived. Thats more complex life than the first 3 billion years of life on Earth. I mean as in life survived, not only survived but survived in very complex forms.

Wow amazing channel 😻
You explained very well. It seemed very easy to understand with animation.
I love the tonal whiplash of hearing how disastrous things could be at the same time as I'm vibing to the music, feels like vibing to abandon ship from subnautica
Lesson learned: Worst case scenario is worse than we think
Amazing vídeo as usual! Great sound design and soundtrack ❤

Like I imagine a black hole star has a larger explosion at the end of its life than even a black hole evaporating at it's end. But I'm curious if I am wrong.
I am happy to know that we are thinking about moving earth out of the solar system. But what sun will we orbit if that happens??
The amount of times humanity could have not existed because of how the galaxy works genuinely blows my mind.
@Zach Rabaznaz it's crazy when you think about it like that, the universe literally has no meaning/reason to exist. It just does, no point, no meaning, no goal, literally nothing. At the same time I guess that makes complete sense, it just exists.

Humans are their own enemies and we will wipe out ourselves sooner or later.
There might be a Supernova of a star close to the place where we are now when The Sun formed, because some scientists believe that The Sun started to spin (If I am not wrong) because there was a Supernova.
Our position in the universe like we are not close to anything dangerous and the perfect condition for life to exist just blows my mind
It really is something incredible...it's like a lottery you didn't know you were playing unless you won.
Well life WOULD be where it’s perfect because why would it be where it’s not?
We got a lucky spawn
It's called the Anthropic principle: If we weren't in this sweet spot, we wouldn't be around to talk about it.
@Edd Exactly right. Funny how humans tend to apply reverse logic to suit their needs. While, in fact, we have been just plain lucky up till now.
Well I think if we want to survive... We need know how to obtain and use huge (and for huge I mean more than imaginable today) amounts of energy.
If we live enough to control our energy of our sun, we will make it.
“If it dosent happen in my lifetime, its not a threat”
You guys are absolutely phenomenal
@Some Austrian Painter Yeah I'm pretty sure about that.
Nice
Fantastic video
Upgrade
Wow
I loved the video and am so glad about the "you're safe" at the end ya think you could do that every video! 🤣
Can you please make a video about sleep disorders? Insomnia, sleep apnea, upper airway resistance syndrome, restless leg syndrome, narkolepsy, plain snoring?
So something that happened 100 years ago can kill us tomorrow?
Well i can't say this video made my day
So first, this man creates a goddamn entire existencial crisis in myself by pure asking "what if a big boom hits you?" then proceeds to say i shouldn't be worried because i would be dead when that happens.

@Baz Pearce this was extremely bright, but you could be correct. I just doubt it
You saw a satellite flare.
It's kinda scary thinking if future generations survive long enough for this to actually happen of course its billions of years from now so who knows how far we will come.
The Heliosphere also protects us from supernoave. Thanks Sun!
Supernovae often have jets of radiation from their magnetic poles. If one of these jets was pointing at Earth we would be in serious trouble even from several hundred light years.
The fact that even some life would survive a supernova 4 light years away is extremely impressive and shows how resilient life is
@Carnage like now?
And given enough time, that life would recover. Maybe not to the level it's at right now, but life would at least evolve into crabs.

If you haven’t already could you please do a video about the megalodon? Would love to know more about it.
This is so demotivating. Can you make a video with realistic world ending scenarios? I want some hope that this hellhole will end soon
What's really fascinating is the fact that we found a layer of increased levels of radioactive iron in the archaeological record and we were able to eliminate any other possibility besides a supernova from 300 light years away.
@Kris b I hear this argument a lot and I'm curious to ask. Isn't that just a fundamental of life? How are the sciences excluded from the human experience. We make as much understanding as we can with the information at hand and then decide to act on it. Dispite it's many flaws the scientific community generally acts on this main principle.
@Jona7Fer Seems like the spamming fanatic brought more alt accounts
Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 4:5
@Nadarith huh. Ya that makes a lot of sense.
@Kris b well.. thats kinda superficial... its not that "they change ideas" ... they make new observation that confirm or dispruve theyr theory, so they make new ones . its not exatly a frivolus idea change ..
The stellar engine music coming back at the ending is pure gold 👍
This is a remarkable video. Could you please tell me how you did the animation?
They have a video on their channel "How to Make a Kurzgesagt Video in 1200 Hours" that briefly goes into it, but should give you a jumping off point for things to look into.
My brother the knowledge is out there.. pay for a few courses on animation design on brilliant ..it's a fantastic service.
1:52 wait are you saying we couldve seen a supernova with our naked eyes during our lifetime?
This channel is one of the best things that has happened to humanity since the emergence of the internet.
These videos are TV quality, yet you produce these and offer them to us for free -- not on one channel, but on multiple channels, most of which required translations -- all for free. I respect you. You guys are one of the channels that make X-vid. (DISCLAIMER BELOW, because there's a lot of debate in the replies.)
A lot of people have taken "TV quality", to mean bad. However, I want to make it clear that I didn't mean the comment as an insult, but as a compliment. It is also important to note that I did mean streaming services, such as Netflix, not cable. Though I spend virtually no time watching either, this comment meant more so that this is quality content, that I could see becoming official rather than a X-vid operation.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy X-vid and consistently watch it, but you also have to remember that some X-vid channels (such as this one) are more... polished, than others, especially considering that this is the same platform that has the family vloggers, and "DON'T CALL AT 3 AM!!! 😲😲" videos.
@untergehermuc I think so, too.. I am not German, and therefore have no place to speak on this matter, but if I had to pay for the videos, I would.
Keep in mind, that we Germans have to pay „taxes“ for Kurzgesagt videos. Fur is they are not „for free“. But it’s a good investment. :)

@Clipyy I admit, although I'm chill most of time, sometimes I give up on conversations, and stop caring about if I'm rude or not. Flaw, I know, but it's so funny to see people being like -- "you're a stupid loser" because they can't even make good insults or comebacks. XD
@Luke DS LOL. Nah, it's alright - I have the same issue, and often "fall into my own trap", for want of a better term.
I see he referenced the solar-system-moving thing from another video at the end
"How worried do you need to be" they ask after giving me a panic attack
(It was a joke, I'm okay!)
The reveal of the two headed snake while talking about how radiation from cosmic rays would increase cancer and mutation rates to a noticeable level gave me goosebumps. So good.
Of course the beginning of the universe is a theory, and not a scientific fact, that was failed to be mentioned here.
Space videos from kurzgesagt are always a treat
The thing about these videos is they're entertaining, educational, and sometimes tugs at your emotions. Kurzgesagt really is one of the kind.
No one fills you with existential dread quite like Kurzgesagt.
I love this video it was very interesting and think u for working hard to make it
What I really love about this channel is that when it discusses topics that could destroy earth, they assure the viewers that what they’ve talked about is extremely unlikely to happen, which probably helps calm down the kids that are scared to death.
@Andres Cavada what made you feel the need to bring that up
@Andres CavadaWhat does that have to do with the topic?
Of course the beginning of the universe is a theory, and not a scientific fact, that was failed to be mentioned here.
Supernovae are kinda like Volcanoes-Powerful events that destroy things, but also create things.
:3
Just throwing this out there but I'd love to see a series on Quantum computing and especially Time Crystals. Very intriguing
Every video about space that I watch makes Star Wars seem less and less possible
i like you used the things from previus videos on advanced civilizations ^^
Whenever I need cheering up from an existential crisis, I come here...
Same
You guys are making science and space and other topics look very interesting to learn and very fun!
I love the subtle change in music as the video goes on.
Also, I love how you're well aware of the existential dread you can impart on others, but how you can use science to dissuade that dread too.
Super Nova: _explodes_
Epic Mountain on earth's surface: _vibe to radio-active music_
can you guys think about: what if everything had the same price (like 10dollars/euros... for a house but also food)
This needs to be pinned!
So, what if the star had enough mass to cause a grb? How far away would we have to be then? If it was pointed at us?
I believe they already made something about this topic. GRB is even worse the further you are since the area it affected widens the further you are from it.
Sounds like a great idea for a game. Instead of nukes in Fallout, it could be a supernova in "Nova".
dude supernova's is just doomguy on a galactic scale
Short answer: We die.
Long answer: Let's find out HOW.
at least with the 100 LY one, all the lightning would help make new ozone!
or a super advanced civilization could harvest the energy from the radiaton from a 100 LY away
I’ve been watching this channel since I was 16 and I’m 21 now yet you guys have never disappointed with the animation. Keep up the good work guys! 👍
@Anshu Nayyar I am 21 and I pretty much might have started at 16, wow!
@Crossfire112 ikr so funny hehe
🗿anytime I want to feel old I just check my sign up date
Saaaaaame
i have been watching since i was 13 (I am 90 now)
Psy trance goes well for these type of videos, please use more of it in the future
That tax joke, I felt that.
“Supernovae are the biggest explosions in our universe”
Gama ray bursts: am i a joke to you?
superb video and narration, but background music is rather mundane I find. In factual documentaries generally music is not helpful or necessary, imho. Great work otherwise and thank you very much. I bought the book btw.
i love how much quality and effort goes into the editing, sponsorships, etc. Plus Jimmy is such a nice guy it makes everything so much better
I fucking love this channel!!!
so from what i understand... if we ever explored space we couldnt really have a way of seing a super nova coming until its too late.. yea thats not good😅
Does anyone else feel this is a new era of videos? Some feeling in me feels these are way more knowledge filled, either that or ive been binging old vids lately lol
Of course the beginning of the universe is a theory, and not a scientific fact, that was failed to be mentioned here.
I'm in love with the fact that they've been ending their recent videos on a relatively happy note to combat the existential dread they usually inspire.
@Clipyy Science is a religion too, take your pick bud. Just hope you choose the truth over the lies.
@Jona7Fer Can you recommend me some actual science and not some religion that man has made up?
@Clipyy Eh? @ Wrong person, dude.
@MarcosElMalo2
Bahahahaha
@Jona7Fer Can you recommend a church that has a Dyson Sphere? I have faith in the Lord and all that, but we’re talking about a supernova here.
7:55 Literally SCP-001 When day breaks, but angrier
If we see a supernova explodes 30 ly from us.... Does it mean we have 30 years to prepare for a catastrophe? Or we just know it happened 30 years ago and we're doomed now, because we are facing the explosion and gamma rays are burning our eyes? 🤔😁
We will only know after the supernova gets to Earth. The good thing is that stars that go supernova are so rare that the closest ones are more than 200ly away from us
The best part about Kurzgesagt, apart of course from the beautiful scientific videos, is that they always include music from their previous videos to cite references. For example, at 9:17, they subtly added the OST from their video on stellar engine made 2 years ago where they talked about how to move the solar system out of harm's way.
I'm honestly impressed by the of work you put into these videos, keep it up!
Honest to god Kursgesagt is one of the greatest educating channels out there. With the quick release time of videos and the stellar visuals, it is probably the /best/ of them. Kudos to the Kursgesagt team who give us all the high quality work!
@Borage what if I told you I don't believe in fairytales
@Jona7Fer You must also live a life in which God and Jesus are above all.
@Ron yes

"But wait, there's more.."
Oh god
Love this! You doing great Job🫠Hope someday i’ll be as big as You👹
So wonderful! The stuff we learn on this channel is never ending! Thank you.
If a supernova happens close then 20 light years away earth will be toasted
