I used to love Kurzgesagt but I just don’t like their videos anymore, and I’m not sure why. They definitely make the kind of content I enjoy, always did and still do, but when I try to watch any of their videos from the last 3-4 years I just don’t like it. I also get this feeling that they are kinda smug about their popularity and how famous they are, it’s weird.
I feel the same. If I had to put a finger on it, I would say it is since the time they parted ways with the german “GEZ”. Wiki GEZ
Glad I’m not alone on this
I unsubscribed after they put out a vid that felt like an unmarked ad for the cyberpunk game
They recently repeated establishment disinformation about drugs. Didn’t address the real problem. They pro status quo bias and hide behind science justifications.
They’re good, but they’re stretching the sauce and don’t get to tge bottom of things that are too controversial even if high probability of being true.
“hide behind science justifications” maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but isn’t basing opinions and world views on science exactly what people should be doing?
Imma wait to be excited about this, it’s some kinda nonsense like gigantic atoms, with a hard candy shell made of bubbles but the energy of 10 suns idk man that’s pretty out there
Ofc existence is pretty strange on a good day …
Well, black holes are pretty out there, too. Singularities don’t really make sense with our current understanding of physics. Also we can directly observe some really weird states of matter like bose einstein condensates, so I don’t think this is ridiculous.
My mang if giant atoms exist then we are definitely the empty space between them, part of a large X-dimensional furry
I watched it last night. I’m still trying to get my head around positive pressure vacuum.
Wikipedia says “the inner region has thermodynamically no entropy and may be thought of as a gravitational Bose–Einstein condensate” if that helps
Oh thanks, that clears it up completely.
It helps in that I clearly don’t understand what is happening, but at least I can put fancy words with it.
Can you get your head around singularities? Because as much as I do understand, I still don’t understand them.
What’s weird is I do! After decades of watching and learning I think we’re a 3-dimensional species that can only mathematically measure things via 2-dimensional thinking. (We can only visualize space-time in a single plane for example mentally, honestly)
All the things that ‘disappear into nothing’ like singularities and even UFO’s I think simply are 4th dimensional in nature if not higher. They dip in and out of what we can perceive and the beings that live there are amused at us crawling around like ants in an ant-hill.
“Yeah, I’m really getting into non-black-hole stellar mass singularities at the moment. You’ve probably never heard of it.”
Isn’t the whole thing about gravastars that they don’t have singularities?
I wonder how old these three people are now …

The source image was from 2015, and the people appear to be in their mid-20s then, soooo… about 35 now.
Huh.
