    Hey, at 9:00 the images of the fast orbiting neutron stars make the screen kinda flash fast. A flashing lights warning would be nice for epileptic people

    Photosensitive epilepsy specifically. But I hope that anybody with that condition is being cautious regarding any use of a computer, let alone graphical renderings like this. Just plugging a cable into your PC incorrectly could cause flashing lights.
