New Zealand Girl Reacts to THE UNIVERSE IS WAY BIGGER THAN YOU THINK 🤯🤯 

Early bird gang where you at?

"Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." - Arthur C. Clarke

I find this video so interesting no matter how many times I watch it

"Born to late to explore the world, born to early to explore the universe."

The day I realized the Universe is way bigger than I thought: the day I found out there are more stars than there are grains of sand on all the beaches.

Born too late to explore the Earth, and born too early to explore the universe. I can only imagine what the first humans who crossed the oceans were thinking.

Dr. Carl Sagan is a legend when it comes to explaining the Cosmos. I remember running to the TV everytime the music of the cosmos came on. For those so inclined, the original Cosmos series is a must watch.

I love these types of videos because they make people start to realize things in the universe if they didn't already know. It is quite interesting to see reactions

In 1980 I shook hands with Admiral Alan B. Shepard; Apollo 14 Commander and the fifth man on the Moon. He was also the first American in space. He handed me my Diploma, when I graduated from Pinkerton Academy in Derry, N.H. For an 18 year old, it was quite a rush.

The most impressive phrase: 👉 "we are incredibly small" And so many people out there believing themselves bigger than others ...

it's one of those things that if you think about it too much, it's overwhelming

There's an old "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip that mentions how vast the Universe is, and THAT is why we like to spend time indoors, especially at night...the idea of just how vast everything is is just so far beyond our ability to comprehend that it blows our synapses.

This video is so powerful. I always watch it when I have any kind of worries and problems. It makes me realize how irrelevant my problems and worries are.

I love learning about the universe its such a mystery but it always blows my mind.

aside- Pluto was reclassified as a “dwarf planet”, like Ceres or Eris, not a “moon”. It has it’s own moon - Charon, though they are so close to each other in size that there is debate about if they should be considered some sort of binary system rather than Charon being Pluto’s satellite.

It gets even harder to comprehend if you include the theories of a multiverse.

In essence, we're located way, way out in the sticks, in a thin, pinky finger length wisp of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.

We stuck here. No one knows about us and probably will not ever. Small little blue dot. let's take care of it.

We’re all just specks in a vast universe, but, in all that vastness, you remain a uniquely beautiful and special “speck”. Have a glorious day! God Bless and Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️

Thanks for explaining the sound, I was freaking out!

THE LONGEST GOLF SHOT WAS MADE ON THE MOON WITH A 30 SECOND HANG TIME

the fact that there's locations out in space that's SO unfathomably far away that we technically can't even officially verify they're existence is insane ...who's to say that there isn't an entire other place like earth with "people" ...just so surreal

I find it amazing that people today could watch this video and still insist there is no intelligent life out there. For me I can't image how many different intelligent life forms are out there, a thousand , a million, a billion?. These life forms being thousands or millions of years more advanced then us would easily have develop propulsion drives or ways of travel we can't comprehend that could reach us. Even if we were able to travel at warp speed (using star Trek as an example) we would never be able to explore the complete galactic multiverse. That would also be true I assume for the other intelligent life forms......maybe. Thank you for the great reaction and bringing us this video.

Awesome Video, Love the reactions and love that nail color! The universe is so mind blowingly huge.

Tis the saying: "Its A Small World".

Courtney's smile is life. 😍

This Video was absolutely amazing and mind blowing! 🌏

In Ancient Greece, Anaximander suggested “apeiron” referring to how big the universe must be. The Greek word “apeiron” means without limit in time and space, suggesting the universe is boundless. In other words, infinite. This makes perfect sense to me. Since things exist, there must be no limit to existence and existence must be limitless. So I think there’s that the so called “big bang” was the “beginning” of “everything”. Meanwhile, evolutionarily, the odds of us being here, not to mention being here as humans, is unbelievably small, yet here we are. That renders us individually and collectively responsible for consciously choosing to always educating and informing ourselves and each other scientifically and to abandon our archaic, outdated, untrue, primitive superstitions and fairytales and fearmongering. You only fear something if you don’t understand it or don’t know about it. When barrier is crossed, new possibilities open that you likely haven’t even imagined before. Only a few centuries ago we didn’t even know kat if what we know about the universe today. Going back to Ancient Greece which no longer exists, all those great philosophers didn’t know anywhere near what the average person knows today thanks to the enlightenment reformations and the industrial as well as technological revolutions, breakthroughs and discoveries. Back to cosmos, I still think the universe has no beginning or end, and is ultimately exempt from time. So there was never a creation. Only evolution. And we as an ape species are but one amongst possibly countless others that are intelligent enough to compose and comprise entire civilisations, regardless of their levels and scales. And there’s no way any species is the so called “center of the universe”. We just be, and that’s it.

I actually wanted to suggest this after your WWII casulties video, awesome somebody did and that you're reacting to it!

Absolutely love the New Zealand accent.

Trust me, listening to Carl Sagan saying it himself is about a trillion times better than how it sounded in this video. Look up Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot. You will not be disappointed.

I think you would definitely love to watch TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time

Courtney you need to react to the Minnesota Vikings intro at home games it is actually insane. Also congrats on your channels growth

When you asked if we'd ever land on Mars... when you said "Mars", in that wonderful accent, I was reminded of the character of Bobbie Draper, a bad-ass Martian marine in "The Expanse", who is played by a New Zealander. ;-] Cheers from Canada! PS: If anyone has an interest in good sci-fi, "The Expanse" is the series to watch! It's the most accurate depiction of humans in space I've ever seen!

I wasn't bothered by the noise of the construction. The way I look at it is like this: If I can hear noise then my hearing is fine and I am alive. It's a good day!

Two possibilities either we are alone in the universe or we are not both are equally terrifying.

You should do a video on how small the smallest things are, from atoms to quarks to strings to who knows what? lol

Hi Courtney, love your vids!!!

You can look at this video in one of two ways: The kinda nihilistic way is: "holy shit we are not even the size of a speck of dust in comparison to everything there is out there in the observable universe, we don't mean shit, we're completely irrelevant" or The hopeful way: "this is incredible, this gives us something to strive for so that one day when whatever species we evolve into a billion years from now we can take our first confident steps into our wider galaxy and maybe even beyond that and begin to explore everything that reality has to offer, uncover possibly unknowably ancient civilisations who hit their technological peak when we were cavemen, learn their secrets, record and learn from what they knew and rise to a whole new level of understanding the grand cosmos and our place in it. We may not live to see it but our destiny is out there, amongst the stars."

From when it was discovered to when it was decided it wasn't a planet, Pluto only made it one quarter of a lap around the sun.

Amazing when you realize we are so small in this universe.

Of course there has to be life out there way to big for there not to be.

I'm no scientist, but I've always found the universe discussion very interesting. 👍👍❤️❤️

They dont mention it in the video but for the Voyager probe, 1AU(astronomical unit) is roughly 93,000,000 miles, and 138 au=roughly 11,000,000,000 miles. And its speed is 17km/s or 38,000miles per hour

As a biologist, life has to be out there, however it is most likely microbial. The problem that is faced is something known as the Fermi Paradox, where it is postulated that a civilisation can only become so advanced before it becomes self destructive and wipes itself out, hence why we find nothing out there in the universe That and considering how vast the universe is of course. Also, Pluto is a dwarf planet as opposed to anything else.

Space is soooooooo fascinating!

I've seen this video a lot of times from the other reactions the scale is mind blowing and how scientists even measure this scale

I'm just patiently waiting for Kal-El to arrive... lol

Ohayo gozaimasu! Love your posts.. Denton, Tx.. I enjoy your Japan references.. spent 20 years with NEC in the US. Visited Japan 3 times for business.. being in a homogeneous culture is so different than the US.. enjoyed your Super Bowl as well.. keep up the good work.. you have many fans out here..

To put a Light Year in to context as Professor Brian Cox said if 1 Light Year is = to 1 mile then 1 Mile is equivalent to 1 Inch

The chilling part is is that there are so many planets in the universe and as far as we know of earth is the only planet with life.

I'm not a huge reaction video fan but I love her video's!! She is so genuine and doesn't try for likes. She is just a joy. I love it!

Wonderfully insightful video. thanks for doing this one! Hugs from The frozen tundra called North Dakota which is minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit here today! : * )

I've been a hobby astronomist from a small child. I know everything what is told here :)

I think that is awesome because it makes each of us truly unique. Not in the entire history of the galaxy theirs be another you. They say there could be a multiverse so there could be another you. But it can’t be truly you because you have breathed different molecules which interacted with your body chemistry. How can a duplicate of you breath those same molecules at the same time you do? You’re unique.🙂

The best reaction video I’ve seen about this video

Love your reaction :D Got some recommendations for you: Videos by melodysheep: "Timelapse of entire universe" ; "Timelapse of the future" ; "The Secret History of The Moon"

Being a single planet species is the ultimate personification of putting all your eggs in one basket. We need to be a multi-planet species in order to secure our long term survivability. There's been far too many mass extinctions to think it won't happen again to us this time.

Courtney, I heard about a year ago or so that Voyager had finally crossed over the line into interstellar space. In case someone watching isn't sure about the word sextillion, the progression is million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion.

In the 'Pale Blue Dot' image, the 'streaks' in that image were actually the rings of Saturn

Courtney, today's my birthday, thank you for posting a very interesting video!!

hehe, I suggested you watch this exact thing a week or two ago :)...and was sure that whether you saw my request or not that someone else would request it as well and you'd watch it!

The universe is not only stranger than we imagined, it's stranger than we can imagine.

Basically it’s called “ observable” because at night we can see it all from your back yard. Because that’s what the light we can see from them shining it’s light at us. But imagine if we were at a different part of our galaxy, like if we lived at our neighboring star then one corner of the universe we would no longer see but there would be an entire new corner of the universe we could see

Great reaction video! But there's a little correction to do: Pluto is not a moon, it is categorized as "dwarf planet" (since it's no longer categorized as "full" planet anymore). A moon is something which circles around a planet which Pluto doesn't do though.

Throughout all that immensity there is not another pair of eyes as lovely as Courtney's.

I agree with you 100%.

Courtney, if you think this is mindblowing, you should check out a similar video talking about how deep the ocean is. :)

just found your channel. subbed. I'll be watching and catching up with your post.

Best hof " knock on door" nfl reaction

Hi girl. Happy to see you today and hope all is going well. :)

Born too late to explore the planet, and too early to explore the universe. But jsut in time to watch some reactions and dank memes :P

And then you bring in the theory of the multiverse or bubble-verse and things get even crazier.

Just think of all the cool stuff out there to see. Not only were humans on the moon, we left our car there.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

Actually, I feel that it makes our existence more significant than insignificant because the universe is a reflection of us.

Hey, do you talk during movies at the theater/cinema?

Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and has long left our solar system. In the year 40,272, the spacecraft will sail within 1.7 light-years of the star Gliese 445 in the constellation Camelopardalis. In 56,000 years, Voyager 1 will exit the Oort cloud, then brush by the stars GJ 686 and GJ 678 in 570,000 years.Sep 6, 2017 It's a big universe.. imagine those dates. The year 40,272? Its mind boggling.....

$9/ applause. I approve. "This is not acceptable" land ho. Army Ranger vs. Airbnb +9

Put on your peril sensitive glasses, grab your towel, and prepare for the total perspective vortex! Even knowing this stuff it sounds bonkers.

And that's why we're insignificant... but if our existance is insignificant... imagine what significance is.

If we found a second Earth, the air might be super toxic, or just not suitable for us. We need to love Earth.

You watch this and realize just how ridiculously naive anybody is the thinks we're the only ones , they are out there somewhere

I believe there’s absolutely no way we’re alone. We’re in the habitable “Goldilocks” zone in our solar system within our single galaxy and if there are TRILLIONS of other galaxies with their very own planets, stars and solar systems, i think there must be manyyyy others that have their own habitable zone as well, where planets are at the perfect distance from their sun in order for life to be able to thrive and evolve... the possibilities are endless

Courtney look into the Fermi Paradox. It's about the strange abcense of other life based on how large the universe is. It's very interesting.

"Pluto was changed into a moon" I guess that's been already tackled by many other people; but in case it's not XD... Pluto was not changed into a moon, but reclassified as a "dwarf planet". And yet there was still some debate some time ago if this should be again reconsidered. Pluto was "downgraded" to a dwarf planet because the discovery of more celestial bodies at the edge of the solar system began to challenge the notion of what should be the size of a body to call it a planet (remember the celestial bodies exist, but we are the ones classifying them to better understand them). Nonetheless, moving Pluto to the list of "dwarf planets" doesn't mean that it was dishonored... it just means we have found more bodies sharing some attributes with Pluto (like the, then, asteroids Ceres, Haumea, Makemake or Eris) and there were two choices: we could expand the list of planets to 13 or create a new middle category and put Pluto there. The latter option was taken (and this list isn't even totally set because now the debate could be "when a celestial body stops being an asteroid to be considered a dwarf planet", meaning that there may be more bodies, mostly considered asteroids, beyond Neptune that could make it into the category of planet). For a celestial body to be considered a moon, the celestial body has to orbit a bigger celestial body, most of the times a planet. Fun fact: Science tries to classify celestial bodies based on size and the matter of the body. But many times, once science has mostly agreed a classification something else pops up that challenges that classification. There is also an interesting debate for when a giant gas "planet" should be instead called a star. Second fact: there are some "rogue moons", celestial bodies wandering the universe with size enough to imagine they once orbited planets, but by some catastrophic event they were launched into space. Third fun fact: there are also moons with moons XD.

I think sometime in the future people will set up domes on Mars and the moon will look like some kind of mall with no shops but I think that might happen

Those videos make us seem insignificant and more so, it makes the entire of humanity seem insignificant, despite everything that has happened and how much life and technology has evolved. At the same time, I'm sincerely impressed we have managed to figure out enough things to photograph our planet from space, something we're privileged to see. Will we make it to Mars in our lifetime, I'd like to think it's possible. Unlikely because I don't see the point of such expedition but I'm sure we'd be able to figure a way to make it work. Plus, yes, life in some form has to exist somewhere else, the odds of life existing can't be that low for it to not occur somewhere distant that we might never even find out about ever.

Would be nice to add a link to the original video

At first, I honestly thought the construction sounds were a sound effect on the video you were watching LOL!! As for Mars, that's actually gonna happen fairly soon. I'd say within 20 years. There are already further moon landings planned that will be training missions for Mars. And Pluto is now considered a "dwarf planet" in that it is too small to be an official planet. Pluto is still an independent body in orbit of the sun, so it can't be considered a moon. A moon must be in orbit of a planet to be considered a moon. WOW...I really do remember stuff from that Astronomy class I took in college back in the 80s because Halley's Comet was passing Earth that semester and if you were in an Astronomy class you got a key to the university observatory!! And yes, aliens exist. They've already been here in fact. I won't go into all my theories on that subject other than to say much of the various Earth culture's mythologies weren't about gods and deities...just sayin'...

Not a moon, a dwarf planet, but its more how we classify planets changed, we didn't change the classification because of learning something. Its classification as a planet has been debated since the 90's.

Couldn’t sail the ocean, couldn’t fly, couldn’t make steel, couldn’t use nuclear energy, couldn’t really observe the universe, couldn’t go to the moon, couldn’t surf, couldn’t mine coal, couldn’t send something past Pluto. We did them all and more. Can’t is vernacular for haven’t. Humans are amazingly good at figuring out things. It takes time, but I have very little doubt we will figure out more. An individual is very limited, but as a species there’s no limit we haven’t beaten.

Reality truly puts things into perspective.

React to the pale blue dot video. Its a full version of the Carl Sagan speech that we heard in this video. Its even more amazing!!

Sometimes...this gives me cosmic vertigo and I can almost feel the Earth rotating... 🌎👀

yeah it's all relative though isn't it..... you can travel inward in the same way too...... just as mind blowing if you look into the sub atomic and beyond. hence ..., it's all relative and life is still just a state of mind.

The universe is massive like unfathomably big.

Would love to see you react to Pentatonix, singing Amazing Grace. Thank you.

Based on what we already know about how life started on earth with the building blocks arriving in comets, we can assume that, given the literally unmeasurable size of the universe that this has happened in other places. We may never have physical evidence of it but assuming that there isn't any just out of skepticism is fairly ignorant at this point.

Love these videos, and would love to see more!! BTW appropriate ornot I think your beautiful 😊👍
