Absolutely everything you think about yourself and the universe could be an illusion. As far as you know, you are real and exist in a universe that was born 14 billion years ago and that gave rise to galaxies, stars, the Earth, and finally you. Except, maybe not.

I usually like these, but this is a little sloppy with so many philosophical ideas and theories thrown in a mishmash.. it was still a better watch than a lot of stuff on youtube, but it would be really nice to see you some videos focusing more on specific ideas like the observer effect (particle waves vs being at a specific location when you measure them only because you are measuring them) etc etc
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🌌 Everything you perceive about yourself and the universe might be an illusion, possibly the dream of a dead universe, according to scientific theories.
00:29 🕰️ The concept of the "Arrow of Time" is based on the probabilistic nature of events, giving the illusion of time flowing in one direction.
02:23 🌟 The universe's future involves the expansion due to dark energy, leading to a cosmic horizon and the possibility of particles filling it.
03:19 🕳️ In the far future, the universe becomes a closed box filled with particles emitting Hawking radiation, creating a new state of existence.
04:17 🐒 Over an eternity, even highly unlikely events can occur, and the universe's fluctuations could give rise to "pop-up universes" by chance.
06:12 🧠 The probability of being a disembodied brain in a dead universe is incredibly larger than being a real human in a living universe.
07:38 🌌 While the idea of being a floating brain in a dead universe is intriguing, there are loopholes and uncertainties in our understanding of the cosmos.
08:33 🤯 This concept, known as the "Boltzmann Brain," is a thought exercise in physics and philosophy, and you're likely not a dream of a dead universe in reality.
The lack of actual science in this video bro 💀
I always say the chances of my laundry coming out of the dryer completely folded is never 0
"We are a way for the universe to know itself." – Carl Sagan
Science is finally catching up with what mystics have known for many centuries. Well done guys.
"Hey, hope you're having a wonderful day. By the way, you and everything you know may not actually exist"
In general, Kurzegesagt does a great job with their videos, but this discussion of probabilities is absolute and complete nonsense. It does not make sense to say that event A is infinitely more likely to occur than event B, if both events have positive probability, because by definition, the probability of an event is between zero and one! It also does not make sense to say that certain configurations of ink are more or less likely to occur in a glass of water where particles are moving randomly and one waits an infinite amount of time, unless you specify how you’re assigning probabilities to the configurations of particles in the glass! This same fallacious “probabilistic reasoning” is often used to argue that it is “overwhelmingly likely” our universe exists in a computer simulation. Again the issue is the same; it is not a sensible comparison of mathematically well-defined quantities.
According to the Hinduism this whole existence is the dream of God . He is dreaming and the whole universe is in lord Vishnu's dream.
This is a very complicated way to say nothing at all.
How idiotic are you kurzgesagt ?!!
7:21 something's wrong
Yeah I have this theory where the universe just repeats because after hundreds of trillions of years when the universe is just spread out particles, over trillions of years, gravity will cause those particles to collect and then become a gas cloud so large that it implodes on itself with an implosion so large that it explodes and creates an ever expanding universe
Mmm I'm so high and I'm really scared fr fr
so technically… i’m god
These are the kinds of videos I like from kurzgesagt. Not the past couple of them which didn't seem that interesting.
I mean, this is basically click bait. Using scientific terms in order to theorize a "fake" what if the universe is actually like this, is the same as coming up with the plot of the matrix and saying "well that could be us."
I prefer science that actually looks at the world for what it is, and not what we think it ought to be.
These videos have kinda fallen off recently. Sometimes they actually tackle a scientific discovery or phenomena, and others they basically dredge up a useless though experiment that ultimately ends in, "well this actually isn't what happens."
Here's a prospect. Delve into scientifically verifying/understanding miracles. You know. Faith based miracles that seemingly happen around the world, across cultures, since ancient times but scientists are mostly afraid to touch because they think religion is beneath them, and think their understanding of the universe means there's no God when in reality it would be more preposterous to think an ultimate designer didn't create the universe.
It just so happens! Literally!
u guys really need to study philosophy
This makes me think my entire existence
Wow, that's a horrific abuse of both statistics and philosophy.
Ily for the last recomforting part i was scared af
Top😉👍🏼
Science once again proves God's existence! We are so greatful to Him for everything!! ☦️✝️🙏😁
I like the universe
Someone has been reading azathoth myths again
Okay, actually? Fck this
Amazing, nice, good, very good, fascinating and attractive too ❤❤
"Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold,BYE!" -Bill Cipher
that chances are 0 the scientific community has slowed down so much since scientists started taking these absurd possibilities into consideration
Cool theory, but the big bang, dark energy and hawking radiation are actually just speculations at the moment. Let’s not get carried away shall we?
Somebody JUST saw "Everything Everywhere All At Once" for the first time, while also listening to TOOL's "LATERALUS" for the first time, at the same time.
What are the odds! (?) Apparently smaller than being an "Andross" brain. 🐒
But really, here's a thought-experiment for the Kurzgesagt team:
We know an event that we would describe as "The Big Bang" happened, given focalization of red-shift among celestial bodies.
The key-takeaway : the universe, despite our perception, has a finite volume.
The question : what "exists" (or not), beyond the edge of existence, and space-time itself? A space without dimension, without time, what would that be like?? What are the implications of "our universe" expanding into "The Nothing"?
🧠
Thanks for another fun video! Cheers! 🦆🍻
Physics has left the chat 💀
I knew it
It is an illusion. It's called 'Maya' in ancient Hindu scriptures.
total bullshit. AMA
Bruh this hippie stuff
God created us remember all of this is a lie
The random Eminem shout out
Does it mean hp Lovecraft was right all along
First, Who is science? You can say, according to some scientists, but not ALL scientists. It's like populist governments "According to the People"
Kurzgesagt finally getting to the real science
the universe is not dead, and time is not linear, it's only our percepion of time that is linear so it makes sense.
Good
What is the dark energy? that's why I'm an deist,
Nolan is gonna make a movie based on this video.
If you are into the concepts of this episode I suggest looking at Ludwig Wittgenstein's Theory of Dreams. A supstantial exploration of the idea lies there. And kudos to Alan Watts <3 He puts the magic into the theory.
Does this mean manifesting is real
