The Universe isn't stranger than we think . . . it's stranger than we Can think. - Werner Heisenberg -

I want to congratulate you. Yours is one of the few cosmology channels on YouTube worth anyone’s time. I like how you respect both the viewers’ intelligence and the subject matter. No bombastic background music, no movie-trailer style voice over. Just the science, the mystery and the awe of it all. Please, keep on the great work you’re doing!
-
The ability to condense information and present it in such a way that even someone with no prior knowledge of physics can understand is incredible.
-
Physics videos trying not to give people existential crisises challenge (impossible)
-
The supercut of the Black Holes series! All the episodes were written in a way that this supercut could happen once the series was over. I hope it works and it feels like a seamless, epic Astrum episode :)

Been a longtime fan. You’re what makes youtube great. Thank you!
-
5:24 -“light can no longer leave, so there’s only darkness” - such an odd thought. Darkness or blackness is always taught to be the absence of light. However, here it’s the confinement of light.

I watch a LOT of space videos, and I’ve seen a lot of videos about black holes. I think this one has gone the most in-depth that I’ve seen without being an actual university lecture. Love it!!
-
You and Isaac Arthur are the only two YouTube creators that have me gleefully watching hours and hours of content while everybody else is worried that their 3-minute video might start to bore people lol. Well done! Thank you for trusting your audience to have the attention span to match your amazing videos!
-
Wow has it already been an hour? The amount of professionalism and passion put into this content is nothing short of amazing. Thank you! New sub

Your voice sounds like youre constantly smiling
-
what I learned from 1 hour of this is that black holes are effectively a giant battery that are also incredibly dangerous to tap into.
-
I am so attracted to space stuff but have to admit it’s always pretty complicated to get a realistic grasp on the information however it’s still interesting even though I don’t really understand it. I have seen countless videos on black holes and in your first 5 minutes you were able to present the information in such a way that I feel I finally have a good understanding of the basic situation now! Thank you so much you definitely have my like, follow, and share! Can’t wait to see the rest of the video

Another great video. Appreciate it, Alex. Love the 4K 60 fps. Will donate more in the future and hopefully this comment gets others to throw you a few bucks.
-
Alex, your documentaries are amazing - easily as good as BBC Horizon, Equinox or similar series. You should have far more visibility even on TV maybe. I work in IT but am an amateur astronomer and love science documentaries about cosmology, particle physics or similar things. I always scan your channel for new things to watch 🥰
-
I'm taking a year 1 astronomy course because I loved everything in these documentaries (and other youtube documentaries) and I have yet to encounter anything that I haven't leard from these documentaries yet. It's pretty cool that these free documentaries are more complete than the expensive course I'm taking.
-
Your work is phenomenal, monumental and important. So much better than what commercial cable channels were pushing out not too long ago. Where were you, dear teacher, when I grew up? You bridge the YouTube audience with very complex topics. Even if 30% is understood on an average, that’s an amazing feat considering the abstract concepts discussed.
-
I'm always amazed by the quality of your content, it's just a pleasure to watch despite the highly complex topics. Btw congratulations to Anton Zeilinger et al. for being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 for their contributions to quantum theory!

The radical time displacement at or approaching an event horizon is proving to be a challenge for theoretical physics.
-
This is, by far, the best explanation of these cosmic concepts I have ever come across. I don't even think this is the first time I have watched this video, but for the first time I am, so far (19:37) understanding it - I think! Certainly, I feel I have a better grasp on these mind boggling ideas than ever before. This channel is incredible! BTW I am not a physicist, I didn't even study physics past GCSE level. I just find it fscinating in my middle age.
