"What will you do with the green screen?" Michael Stevens: "No".
-
Girl: Michael I just like you as a friend. Michael: or do you
-
1:27 me when I ask my dad if I’ll ever get a girlfriend
-
i can't believe this video is EIGHT years old. I've been watching vsauce since like 2011 when i was twelve years old, im 22 now, thanks for all the cool education michael
-
He’s preparing us for when he destroys the sun. A good man
-
People in 1 billion years when they find this video will be like: WhO's HeRe AfTeR tHe SuN iS gOnE?
-
It's interesting how - theoretically - we'd be better off if the sun disappeared than if the earth would stop spinning.
-
The idea that Earth could fly off for thousands and thousands of kilometers and potentially end up in another solar system and then regenerate is utterly fascinating and I could listen to that theory in depth for hours.
-
this guy is like the substitute science teacher everyone loves
-
I can just imagine the sun actually disappearing and my family's freaking out and I can just be like "Calm down, I know a video that will explain everything."
-
Who else is here after the sun exploded?
-
The fact that life can reemerge even after billions of years of extinction, just goes to show the potential of finding other life on other planets
-
Vsauce: “Matter cannot disappear” My nerf bullets: Yeah lol
-
This would be an awesome premise for a post apocalyptic book.
-
Update: it’s 2022 and the sun hasn’t disappeared yet, but I still like to revisit Michael’s older videos.
-
10:07, the music cue right when he speaks how Earth would be a space ship is so perfectly timed it kinda feels scary.
-
One of the most epic endings of a video of all time.
-
Human Brain: Whoa that's scary. Good thing this is literally impossible. Monkey Brain: You gotta move to Iceland.
-
what I found really cool is that the extremophiles at the bottom of the ocean would be both the first life forms on earth and the last in this scenario
-
0:58 the transitions are always so amazing lol, the way he makes makes you so interested in something that is not even part of actual topic lol
