This video is very powerful for understanding everything we are as far as scaling goes, but also just goes to show how our own scale, where we live and observe, is really the most important to us because it fits us. The rest of this stuff we know exists, but will never truly observe or understand, at least for a very long time. The things on our scale are explained with our communication, using the senses that are tuned for this level of understanding. Look what we’ve done with the scale we’ve been given, the scale we are bound to. We have limits, but do we really know where they are? The limits haven’t stopped our own expansion of understanding, and unlike a lot of other levels, our scale is full of life, compared to the vast nothingness on both ends. If nothing matters on both ends where nothing happens, I wanna stay where things do happen and I can bring myself to comprehend, but I think that’s more easily said, and I’m probably pretty ignorant compared to what things could be but I just wanna say to those who are having existential crises that it’s not a concern and will never be a concern, in our lifetime. And if it is we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

All hail A4, all hail the metric system! Seriously though. I don't know if this video is meant to be poetic or an existentialist piece, but I love it, for sure.

Sadly we only have 8 proper sizings, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and A7.

I really cannot say what fascinates me the most, either the extreme smallness of stuff and what is everything made of at every level or the immenseness of the universe and how the distances that separate everything are extremely massive and probably we will never know for sure what is out there. The world is fascinating, there are so many mysteries of this astonishing complex universe that I cannot comprehend how it all came to be

Excellent! A (micro/macro)-cosmic view of the Universe. Classically and wonderfully done.

Isn't that what paper is for? Creating ideas as far as the mind can imagine?

Great video, just one thing, the planck length doesn't imply that the universe is discrete (like pixels), it's more that we don't know what happens in between, it's better to visualize it as a series of points united by a fuzzy fog than a series of points. Love your videos!

This is the type of visualization that makes me realize I'm much more interested in the vastness of space than the infinitely compact void of Atoms and quarks and such. I get that it's fascinating but imagining that, ultimately, matter is just what makes up our existence, and outer space IS our existence, waiting to be explored, fills me with a sense of impossible wanderlust that, honestly, is scary, but very peaceful at the same time. I know I'll never be able to go explore space like Star Trek or Mass Effect, but that's why it brings me peace to know that I might as well enjoy my time here, pondering and wondering and contemplating, thinking that somewhere out there there might be a similar being possibly pondering the same thing I am.

as he said, mostly nothing is what we are

With so much nothing on all sides, inward and outward, how wonderful is it that we exist at the same scale? The vast, unknowable reaches of space are dark and empty, but here on a little ball of mud we have warmth, and light, and cats. Happy new years everyone.

the house he seems to be in is located in 51°31'01.0"N 0°05'30.6"W, the geography and the roads match, but weirdly enough, the house do not at all.
