I know what I'm listening to tonight when I lay down... Thank you, Alex!!

The amount of times I watch astrum for sleep but end up staying up later cause the topics are so interesting 😅

I love the fact that physics has to remain willing to surprise itself. Theories can be incredibly successful and still turn out to be incomplete when the universe gives us evidence we weren't expecting.

I am so happy to see it’s a longer video, woo hoo! Thank you 😊

Bro.... these videos are so chill & informative all at the same time. Legit one of my favorite channels on space, and I'm super thankful for all the great content you put out on YT 💯🙌🏾

I think we have no idea, the more we learn the less we know its beautiful

Could the Hubble Constant have been getting quicker since the big bang? I'm thinking that the amount of localized gravity would have kept everything together for longer, (also possibly why Super Massive Blackholes formed earlier than seems reasonable), and as all galaxies are moving away from each other, their individual gravitational pull becomes less and less effective, allowing galaxies to speed up. Might even explain why you can't find dark matter or the dark energy we can't seem to detect, there simply isn't any such thing. Merely the ripples left in spacetime as galaxies go rushing around at ever increasing speeds, causing ever increasing ripples. Also if the light from the most distant galaxy has only just reached us here on earth, why to we need the JWST to look at it all the way out there? Absolutely love your show, I've never been so interested in space in my life thanks to Astrum.

How a single person can revolutionize an entire field of science with a single discovery is wild!

@andrewweaver2517 6 months ago

Thank you for the extra long cuts, sooooo much.

Absolute masterpiece, Alex! 🌌 The way you connected the Hubble tension with the rotation of the universe and the mind-blowing 'appetite' of LID 568 is brilliant. It’s wild to think our entire cosmological model might be on the brink of a revolution. Your storytelling makes these complex 4D concepts and quantum paradoxes feel so accessible yet deeply mysterious. Truly top-tier edutainment! 🚀 Which theory do you personally lean towards: a flat or a hyperbolic universe? Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for another cosmic journey. Keep up the phenomenal work! ✨🔭

I do believe Hubble's contribution to widening our understanding of the universe was actually measurable.

We have made amazing discoveries in the last 2 centuries, at the speed things evolve we might discovered the true one day, but let not forget that all these agreement are base of our understanding, and it won’t be the first time that our science is non accurate, or wrong. For the little being we are on our blue dot I am amazed every time we discovering something new.
