[Music]
have you ever looked up at the night sky
and pondered about your very own
existence maybe you were camping out
with some friends or all alone marveling
at the big canvas of Darkness plastered
with countless glowing
stars well you're not alone looking
above and contemplating the sheer
immensity of the universe is something
humans have been doing since the dawn of
time it's quite magical that recognizing
your part of something inexplicably huge
and impersonal can elicit feelings that
are so deep reflective and personal
whenever you find yourself lost in these
pensive moments know that the Universe
this ancient organism that we were
somehow born into is calling you on a
spiritual journey that is in one way or
another meant to guide you through your
deep and existential emotions and help
you find your place in its cold yet
comforting grasp the ancient stoics
understood precisely how immense our
human problems could feel they knew how
a bad day at work could develop into a
week of aggravation they knew how a
string of bad luck could become a
gateway to depression but they also knew
how in significant our problems really
are in the grand scheme of things and
that once we fully understood this
Cosmic scale we would truly become free
so if you're having a bad day or you
just feel a bit out of sorts find a
quiet place and prepare yourself to
witness the view from above for the
first time you're about to embark on a
journey outside of your own body a
Celestial Adventure meant to help you
understand the she size of our ever
expanding universe and in the process
you're placed in it because only when
you look above will you be able to
understand what's
within so take a deep breath and close
your eyes your journey across the
begin wherever you are right now imagine
yourself slowly lifting out of your body
and floating in the vicinity of the room
you're in observe your surroundings
you're no longer confined to the borders
of your own body can you see yourself
sitting there with your eyes closed
taking deep breaths looks weird
right if you think about it no one
really knows you like you know yourself
people's perceptions of you are based on
their own interactions with you they
have their own biases and judgments and
while some of them come close to knowing
who you really are none of them ever
fully do floating around in your room
you can finally experience your true
self you can observe your body without
being inside of it the room you're in
and all its familiarity could very well
feel alien to you right now you may have
grown up in this room spent years
developing your sense of self and yet as
you float around none of it feels it's
genuinely yours as the abstract feeling
of Detachment swirls through your mind
you suddenly zoom out to observe the
countless houses in your neighborhood or
the endless apartment stacked in towering
towering
skyscrapers people just like you wake up
every morning and carry on living in the
same houses growing up in the same
streets and leading similar lives it's
funny how we could be so physically
close to each other and yet know nothing
of one another another how many people
live in your town or city how many of
them do you really know what are their
dreams and Ambitions their fears and
insecurities do you think they're that
different to yours we tend to think that
our Human Experience is so unique that
no one not a single person out of the
nearly 8 billion of us on this planet
can begin to understand what we're going
through but the truth is we're a lot
more similar than we believe and that
should give us solace in the face of
adversity look look at the houses in
your neighborhood or the buildings
stacked elegantly next to each other
they are all the same as you witness
this view from above your heart will
begin to fill with an unexpected warmth
as you feel connected to every one of
the humans inside those houses it's like
a piece of you lives in every single one
of them a lot of the towns in the US
have populations of a thousand and yet
we still call them small but aren't a
thousand people a lot try and imagine
that number on a football field or a
basketball court are these towns still
considered small in your eyes the United
States is actually considered a nation
of small towns out of a population of
around 330 million people data from the
past decade shows that 34s live in
cities and towns with fewer than 5,000
people so I ask again is a thousand
small continue to zoom out and you see
the towns and cities that make up States
Bound by imaginary
Borders or are they really
imaginary there's around 40 million
people people living in California
basking in the Golden Sun of the Pacific
Ocean on the other hand there are only
about 732 th000 people living an
entirely different life in the cold of
Alaska the life of a Californian is very
different from that of an Alaskan even
if both are just humans trying to make
the most out of their puzzling
existence our history has also drawn
some real Blood Stained boundaries
separating us and forcing us to focus on
our differences rather than our
similarities Wars have claimed millions
of lives mostly in the names of
ideologies of separation and
alienation as you slowly travel the
globe from the American continent you
see how life can develop completely
differently despite
proximity throughout history many
countries fought internal civil battles
and subsequently declared their own
independence South Sudan declared
independence from Sudan in 2011 Kosovo
declared independence from Serbia in
2008 and Montenegro became its own state
after separating from Serbia in 2006
many more have separated and declared
their independence which makes you
wonder how defined we are by the
into are you still breathing your
journey through planet Earth is almost
over you've lifted from your body away
from your hometown out of your home
country and now you're floating in the
atmosphere of our tiny blue planet
perhaps aboard the International Space
Station in 24 hours this tiny space
station orbits our planet 16 times 16
sunrises and 16 sunsets imagine looking
at the Earth as you orbit its 40,075 km
or around 25,000 M
circumference except for the moon
landing everything that has ever
happened in the history of humanity has
happened on this planet everything we've
ever experienced every joy every
disappointment every love every broken
heart our entire human existence is
presently confined to this rotating
Globe floating in the vastness of space
and as it rotates at 16 1,75 kmph time
passes and washes away all that ever was
and makes room for whatever there is to
come our planet has existed for 4 1/2
billion years but us modern humans have
only been here for around 200,000 years
and civilization as we know it is only
around 6,000 years old you and me if
we're lucky enough will'll only get to
experience around 80 more of those years
everything that has happened before and
everything that will happen after we can
only imagine
the burden of our existence is nothing
but a speck of dust in the cosmic
hourglass looking at Earth from above
could be daunting astronauts that live
on the ISS almost always come back to
earth with a fundamental understanding
of what it truly means to be alive and
what matters most in
life take another long and deep breath
let your lungs fill with the magnitude
of what you've already experienced and
what you're about to
experience we're going to Journey
further into space deep into our solar
system and then into Uncharted Territory
where no human has ever traversed leave
all your human preconceptions behind and
open your heart to the expanding
universe as you finally break free from
the Earth's atmosphere imagine yourself
floating further to the edge of
interstellar space looking at our solar
system as a whole eight planets circling
around a glowing star each one of these
planets has its own unique story from
Saturn's ringed Beauty to the massive
bulk of Jupiter and its Great Red Spot
big enough to engulf the entirety of Earth
Earth
but even Jupiter's incredible Mass holds
no candle to the centerpiece of our
glorious solar system the sun the star
that holds our collection of planets
together our sun is 109 times wider than
Earth and makes up 99.8% of our Solar
System's entire Mass put everything
you've experienced in the scale and then
compare it to the shear magnitude of our
glowing star and let it sink in for a
second let's take a step further and
slowly leave the safety of our solar
system observe as the sun itself becomes
a small particle barely visible from our
astronomical vantage point you look
around you and notice the countless
other stars billions of glowing specs
everywhere you turn there are more stars
in the universe than there are grains of
sand on earth more than 10,000 stars for
each grain in
fact most of these stars have planets
orbiting around them just like our solar
system if the primordial soup that
spawned life on Earth managed to
replicate on one of these countless
planets would it be similar to Life as
We Know It On Earth would they wonder
about their existence the same way we do
would they understand how small and
insignificant their problems are in the
grand scheme of things imagine alien
civilizations fighting through their own
existence just like you and I imagine
the struggle to exist in the universe
every day planets that Harbor life that
orbit stars that make up galaxies that
float around alone in space you are now
leaving the Milky Way and venturing
further out into the still and Silent
darkness of the universe everywhere you
look there's a gy gxy waiting to be
explored a Galaxy that could Harbor a
star that might have a planet that
somehow managed to produce life Against
All Odds one more deep breath and you're
now looking at the entire observable
universe one big organism that is at
least 92 billion light years
wide now that you've been able to
observe the universe as a whole it's
time to slowly bring it all back in
let's find the Milky Way among the
hundreds of billions of galaxies out
there let's find our sun among the
100,000 Millions stars in our home
Galaxy we're finally back in the solar
system passing from Neptune to Saturn to
Mars and finally Earth you jump from the
ISS and burst through the atmosphere and
then cross the imaginary borders that
are meant to separate us find your
country your state your street and then
your home finally look at yourself
breathing taking all that experience in
take one last deep breath and open your
eyes next time you're feeling down or
the world seems to be taking too much of
a toll you contemplate Your Existence
and remember this moment this feeling this
this
experience let it remind you that
whatever is weighing you down is only
temporary a minor setback in the grand Cosmic
scale today's video was sponsored by
brilliant one of the best places online
to learn anything and everything STEM
related understanding the Scale of the
Universe requires a lot of math physics
and logic all of which are different ult
subjects to wrap your head around unless
you have a really good teacher to
explain them in the easiest way possible
this is why I love brilliant I just
finished taking their most recent course
introduction to algebra which gave me a
fresh perspective into Concepts like
equations and
graphs thanks to the interactive nature
of this and all the other courses
brilliant has to offer I was also able
to see these Concepts being used in
normal everyday life was just made them
a lot easier to understand this in turn
made it easier for me to explain this
year magnet ude of the Universe In This
