Good asmr, but have you ever questioned what science says? Geocentric ideas don't have the dark matter problem. This gravity theory is off by 10 to the 120th power. That's according to the mainstream, so what kind of pseudoscience is that? There's also no experiment that can be done to show we are moving. Not one. So again we are told pseudoscience but they tell us it's real science. They're lying and it's obvious to anyone that actually does research. Belief is the enemy of knowing
It's always great to see a new video from you, bro. I love all these science ASMR videos especially all the astronomy ones. And I hope your family is doing well.
This was great, I enjoyed learning for about 20 or so min, then not only fell asleep but I could still faintly hear you in the dream and realized I was dreaming. So I got a nice lucid dream out of it too :) Thanks for making this and not putting ads throughout. New sub!

I started studying physics 2 years ago and your videos truly helped me making connections on what i learned in class and what it actually means, how these numbers represent reality. So fascinating!!
Love the music behind this 💜 I love having a playlist full of asmr vids with the creator's choice of ambient background music so I don't have to simultaneously run a playlist
Can someone please put in a good word for me with the people running the simulation? They did not do a very good job in the character creator when they made my face. On a more serious note, glad to see a new video from you. Always a welcome sight.
i don't know how i missed this chris, my apologies, but i'm really grateful for the donation. it means alot that you get so much from what i do that your support the channel. happy new year to you man
I can't believe I wasn't subscribed to you. I can remember listening as far back as 2019 but it's taken me a while to get the hang of RU-vid, maybe that's why. It's been a while since I've seen a video of yours & I'm so glad that the algorithm gods were kind enough to bring you back 😊
Youre an absolute legend!! Getting so many people interested in the sciences!! Never miss a video brother thank you!! Ill be learning more for another year as i keep falling asleep
@Let's Find Out ASMR man you hit every fact with a unique tone that hits the chords man. Love listening to your explanations of these subjects! You're a very intelligent dude! Thanks for everything! Stephen Penor
I love that I can watch these videos again and again because I keep following asleep in the middle of them, and I’m not smart enough to understand most of this anyway 😂
Same here! Content is WAY over my head. I mean WAY over my head! But I hope it stretches my pea brain (maybe it'll make me smarter in my next life and actually be interested in going to school), Rich's lovely soft voice and ambient music at just the right low volume gets me to sleep and I have the most amazing dreams. Never have to worry about "oh, I already listened to this before." WTF is a photon, anyway?? 😂
Little hi from France just to thank your hard work and the passion you radiate from your long and interesting talks ! I really love your content, it’s not only relaxing but also full of knowledge + it’s free !! I’ve been falling asleep on your videos, so I wanted to take time and comment to thank you properly !! Keep the good word and can’t wait to see more C:
On par with history of the universe, I find myself not being able to sleep to this context recently, as the story tellers are so good, I fight the sleep to listen to the story. Keep it up, great work
Thanks for this mate, I not only use this to wind down to, but the information and facts that I knew , and forgotten as I have aged come back to me, seeing a diagram with names like Pauli /Dirac etc, the Astronomy/Cosmology material is wonderful. Thanks from Perth, Western Australia at 3.47AM
Your content is great, and you are knowledgeable in the presented material. The opening of your message seems to convey mistrust for science, and whether you agree or don't agree is of no consequence, but what is important is that more humans that get involved, begging the questions and contributing what one can. Each humans fingerprints differ from one another and so each person also has a perception unique and different from one another. Each perspective just might be the perspective even in its most smallest contribution, as viewed by some, that perspective could not have been accessible to the person that took that rid but and suddenly that person could see or imagine what would have otherwise not have been so available. Because of the many perspectives that are shut down simply because one does not care to hear the difference to their own view of the world so we lose or give up as a result sitting on the sidelines and never considering or assuming that others will figure it all out. This is why we seem to be stagnant. When one considers that when measured against those that begged the question in other periods of history we do not seem to possess what it takes to find the connections or possibility of other driving forces or contributors to what we see around us. Essentially placing blinders on or do not see as the blinders or restrictions that limit our innovation because we to often are still seeing through the eyes of those before us. This statement is not intended to imply that one should go out half-cocked and throw out theories, models, or laws that have proven useful in not only begging the question but also sparking the mind in such a way that when we look at the world around us, we see that recognize that something we can observe ( the yellow lines in the road while peering out of a window in a patent office and the spark begged the question or a fisherman observed that wave crest passed his boat in a pattern or sorts and it begs the question or observing that birds migrate and return with out Google maps WHAT! The observer then wonders, and the spark of curiosity is ignited. We have zero chance of solving these mysteries if we think we already have all the answers we can know; when we think we know them, we no longer look. In history, there have been periods where humans have lost this quality altogether (dark ages), and I am sure most of you have already thought of many examples where we as a species lost ourselves. I do not know much, but I can say that I have yet to come across a theory or anything discovered that the pattern or lack of it has not been observed in nature and the world around us. The separating factor is curiosity, which compelled the observer to wonder why, so it begs the question. We are but a small occurrence, but we are ( as far as I can tell) immersed in a part of whatever your definition but a model of sorts. If it happens out there, it happens here but on a much larger or smaller scale in some pattern or process that first must be identified. Only through curiosity and looking at the world around us will we be able to try to make the connection to begin the process of extrapolation and put into motion the next process that might lead to a puzzle piece we can leave behind for others that follow. The minds of yesterday were brilliant, but their contributions can only take us so far. Only those who wonder will be able to make the connection of that seemingly mundane event that may hold the key to a better understanding of the world and the cosmos. The answers are right before our faces, but we have to look, not see, and wonder enough to make the connection ( curiosity) we need to ask the question. Few are endowed with the process of finding viable pieces for any one of the puzzles in life. When a small fraction of people are not only in search of answers to our questions, we surrender not only our ability to think but also our power and follow or, more appropriately, are corralled in any direction those in power choose, and this happens in any situation or facet of life, we risk developing blinders. As genius as all those who came before you ( not only are they dead ), but those who were and will soon exist are limited by what they know, as they do not have the needed fresh perspectives of those that follow. As stupid as one may think this sounds, it is when we do not know that we stumble across an idea that may serve to add another piece. It is a shame that most social media platforms ( intended or not) tend to pit one against another, and this happens across the board, so it happens with science, politics, and the range of any other discussion as people get fixed on what they know to be true and the fight begins because what they claim to know is a closely scripted agenda for what they want and for whatever purpose is to be served. We can claim a satisfactory answer to allow the next question to emerge. With this understanding, we all agree that when the satisfied answer no longer stands true or does not provide a bridge to the next question, we must surrender the notion to those who do. All of our theories and ideas are based on assumptions that we must provide so that we can either confirm or toss out once the next question has put us one step closer to recognizing the picture that appears when the pieces are put together where the assumptions are discovered to be crap or one step above a guess and then eventually what we can depend on what was an assumption to a dependable space filler until such time it is not. When our assumptions have not evolved to a more dependable space holder, we become stagnant and desperately cling to the old ideas we know are true, closing down any discussion that would suggest otherwise. We begin to fight one another and dehumanize those that disagree. We train our children not to question and dumb them down to believe that they do not hold the keys for their generation to unlock what others cannot recognize, even if they see it every day. You are tasked with asking the question; others can help find an answer. If there is no question, then there can be no hope of answering. Get involved with whatever intrigues your curiosity, if not, one day, you will be incapable of asking a question because you, too, will have all the answers. It is okay for us to ask questions. It is okay to be wrong as that is the nature of begging the question. Eventually the curious will find the question and through our understanding of testing these questions the answer will reveal itself. It is the only way we move forward. Know what you know, but invite those who think differently so the process is not arrested. Let our questions be different, and our thoughts be acknowledged (even if we do not agree) so that people are not divided. When we divide enough, we render ourselves to a foreseeable ending or at least surrender or suspend the thinking process to those we deem as better and let them think for us.
beautiful comment, this one is. it's a shame that the very thing you mentioned, the social-media-induced infighting, is existing even in this comment section. it seems the moment our ideas are challenged, there are a great many that seek to gravitate to "this side" or "that side" - maybe they'll eventually realize that they're both the same, if all they're really doing is insulting and dehumanizing the people that happened to pick "the other side". but there's also much positivity - comments like yours, and many others, that appreciate this content for what it is, and don't instinctually spring to dichotomous conclusions, even if they may not immediately agree with the content at hand.

And yet again Rich you are amazing.i have not listened yet but i already know this will be awesome. love asmr and i love physics. you are the only male asmrtist that i listen to and it is because you do science!! nothing like actually learning while you sleep i think in brave new world they called it "hypnopedia" or something like that been awhile since i read that. lol anyways keep up the great scientific work sir love from canada
Thank you so much for this video, I don’t even use these videos just as asmr, as they actually talk about interesting things, I’ll use them as podcasts when I get free time sometimes. Once again, thank you!!
I know you like science and technology, and some of your best videos are about space. So I thought maybe it would be cool if you did a video explaining the cold war, the space race, and how the race for space affects us today.
Amazing classes, achieves what a class must: be as clear and accesible as posible, be inteligible and what i value most, be fun to listen to or watch or attend. You get a check on all points. Congrats
This time again and with a small delay, I'm happy to learn and rest with my favorite AMSRtist ! Thank you for the video Rich, you're amazing, as always
Always a treat to get a new video from you Rich. I will be having weight loss surgery on the 30th and I have a bunch of your videos downloaded through RU-vid premium. You're the best. Please keep it going. Many blessings to you Molly and your lil girl
@LetsFindOut1 thank you so much. You provide me a much needed escape on A daily basis. When I have a crap work day I definitely listen to you o. My drives home. When the anxiety gets too much and I can't sleep I can depend on your content to put me in a better mindset so I can sleep. You are a gift sir. Thank you
12:28 in got on my calculator and typed in 8 divided by 95 and i got really close to the number so if anyone wants to try to find it around there so i think the number is a type of fraction like when u divided a low number my a higher number like 3%9 so if u find nice job
Because of today's modern science in technological Information Age has caused a transformation of consciousness from ancient calendar consciousness to universal super consciousness. Seeing the universe with a scientific perception will awaken your third eye which is your mind's eye. This is what created the all seeing eye generation.
Mr. LFO, can we please get a video on nuclear technology or theory or otherwise? I think that would be very interesting and potentially new topic that we could learn about :)
i did. i know there's a lot of ai scripts and narrations out there now, so i get the question. i used bing/dall-e to make some of the pictures, but this video was essentially a big riff on the wikipedia page called "unsolved problems in physics"
Yeaaaa boiiii! The walking legend is back. Love it if you ever could do another history video again with ambient music. (Your old egypt video was top) Brilliant content as always.
I always compaire the expanding universes ( multi), with the single point emerging CO2-bubles in a bottle of coca cola . Out of nothing emerging in a medium we call empty space...but empty is far from empty..energy less . Likewiss the CO² was already absorbed in the medium before it emerged, we where to already present/ absorbed by the "medium". Grtzz from the Netherlands Johny geerts
