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.
-
The sun is still a deadly laser!
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.
-
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!
-
The writing, narration and production quality on these videos is absolutely stunning. It leaves 99% of TV documentaries in the dust.
-
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.
-
“ The sun is a deadly laser” The way I looked up from painting my nails when you said that-
-
The sun is a deadly lazer 🤣 36:40
-
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!
-
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
-
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.
-
Leila Battison is an excellent researcher and writer. Thanks.
-
Whoever writes and narrates and edits these are brilliant. Both the terrestrial channel and the cosmic one
-
its like he's reciting a beautiful 42 minute long poem. excellent content. thank you.
-
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!
-
I genuinely don't understand how this channel doesn't have more subscribers. The overall quality of each subsequent video goes from strength to strength, truly superb. The absolute marvel that this content is available to so many people for free cannot be understated. Well done, History of the Earth, this channel is a fucking gem <3.
