I learned from the video that our consciousness cannot be predicted absolutely from the sub-atomic level on out like an iteration in a sequence, because electrons are unpredictable. Having said that, I think the randomness at the sub-atomic level somehow producing measurable patterns we know as the laws of physics is a great irony. A creator source has to exist, right? I mean, what made matter? Zzzzz...

I would say people who like unintentional asmr videos probably prefer it to be authentic and real (ie unedited) even if some parts do not directly themselves create asmr - the overall effect is better the more real it is and even if the voice is louder in some parts, in my experience, the asmr doesn’t go away. It would be better to hear the whole complete thing. He does have a lovely voice.

Interesting that you cut an earthworm in half. Studies on earthworm severing have produced some unexpected results. When you cut a worm in half the tail bit will grow a new head and the head bit will grow a new tail, thus giving you two new worms. The process is sensitive to electrical responses so you can cause a one headed bit of worm to grow another head ending up with 2 headed worms. Likewise you can end up with worms with two tails. The interesting part of this research is that if you cut the 2 headed worm in half the two halves also grow into two headed worms. Implying that this trait is passed on in just one generation. They have also taken worm cutting into zero gravity situations

He doesn't actually cut the worm. In the full vid he stops just before. And says of course I'm not going to do that but say if I did it accidentally in the garden or something.

It's like my intelligent grandpa telling me bedtime stories as I fall asleep

Usually i just put an asmr video to play on the background and concentrate on other stuff, this video is something i actually want to listen to so saved for later!

Proof that you can be soft-spoken whilst being energetic and motivated about what you say, and not speak as if you were on your death bed. Edit: THANK YOU to the editor who cut the part where the worm was cut!

I thought the worn was unhurt during the making of this video. Which was why he wiggled his fingers around rather than showing a wiggling worm.

This is common knowledge if you're an inquisitive person

His voice is so soothing, but the subject matter is steering me toward an existential crisis! 😂

it's incredibly interesting. It doesn't make me sleepy, but an unstoppable curiosity to continue listening to him.

This is right up my street as someone studying physics and philosophy. Excellent!

This is a very fascinating concept. I don't get the ASMR part of it, but it's nice and peaceful to listen to.

He was Professor of Open University at 70s, 80s and he did videos on "Understanding space and time"; I liked it.

I really love this~ He was so calming and didn't know it. Someone must have told him that he puts them to sleep in a good way. It would be very hard to stay awake in his class~

I love science and psychology! Right up my alley!!

I hope this man has lots more life in him.

Judging by the laptop and camera quality I'd guess this video is ~15 years old. I wonder how he's doing now
