There's so many documentaries and divulgative series on various networks, NONE of them compares with your videobooks in terms of clarity, details, images, careful selection, background study. If you are doing all of this by yourself, with no staff to research and support your work in all the phases of production, then you are nothing short than amazing and you deserve your place among the great recognized science communicators, from David Attenborough to Carl Sagan and so on. This is just to say David that you have my greatest admiration, and I sincerely hope your work will find its way to mainstream television, to be able to reach the wider public.

Maybe it cancels out 5-10 of your zeroes over there, and it's only one of the many, many things we don't know.

David, your series are concise, incredibly dense and highly educational. Esp., you do not shy away to show some formulas. They even add a lot to the understanding of the matter at hand (pun intended). Your channel is a gem and you are a gift to free education. Through your "How far..." series I got a much better idea, what (and what not) I see, looking up into the vast night sky.

you get to realize how insignificant we are. The amount of space we occupy is insignificant, the amount of time we have existed in the universe is insignificant, the amount of energy we use is insignificant, the amount of matter we utilize is insignificant, even the amount of distance we are ever gona travel is insignificant.

I can't tell you how much I wish I would have found your channel years ago. I'm so sick of watching Space videos that is clearly just a bunch of CGI with a few real photos sprinkled in. As far space videos go, it doesn't get better than this. I have learned so much from you.

When you think about the fact that with current technology it would take humans 6,300 years to get to even the nearest star outside our solar system.

We will never be able to wrap our heads around how big the universe is ever.

This is so wonderfully illuminating! Thank you so much for your clear explanations of the beauty of our universe.

Probably the best videos of the universe ever out there, and this is an understatement! It grounded our vague understanding by tethering to the actual equations which help us understand, while not making the equations overbearing. Compact, succint and the reference point to begin the journey of the understanding of the infinite universe.
