We created our first app ‘Universe in a Nutshell’, together with Tim Urban of Wait but Why! You can get it here: Appstore: http://kgs.link/universe-app-ios Google Playstore: http://kgs.link/universe-app-android Oh boy. Making an app is hard. It seemed so easy when we started. We underestimated the necessary work load and all the potential problems tenfold – this is not a figure of speech, this took ten times longer than we thought it would. And we are sort of used to working on big projects. So the first update to the app should hopefully be here in the next 24 hours (we are waiting for approval of the update in the app stores) – it will fix a bunch of small things that slipped through. We’ll constantly improve this thing because while it was honestly a horrible nightmare to make, it also was fun and we want to get better at it and make more things in the future. In case you don’t know Wait but Why btw, it is the best and most fun blog on the internet (https://waitbutwhy.com/2020/09/universe.html) and if you don’t know it you should change that like right now. Tim and I collaborated for the first time in 2013 and we have been good friends ever since. And this thing was something we started talking about years ago. So what is this thing we made and why? You can seamlessly travel from the smallest things in existence, past the coronavirus, human cells and dinosaurs all the way to the largest stars and galaxies and marvel at the whole observable universe. You can learn more about each object or simply enjoy the sheer scale of it all. It’s a fun plaything. The app is inspired by the “scale of the universe” website by the Huang Twins that Tim and I spent a lot of time with when it came out years ago – and felt that it was finally time to create a Wait but Why and Kurzgesagt version. There are no in-app purchases and no ads. All future updates are included! Since this is our first app we would love to hear your feedback so we can improve it over time. Leave us a five star review if you want to support it. Kurzgesagt and all the projects we do are mostly funded by viewers like you. So if you like the app we’ll make more digital things in future! Ok! Thank you for reading – Philipp

You should add a feature where you can compare sizes

I already have that app

I don’t know because it cost money

@Bork Boi Hİ

HEY UY SCUTY BİG😡😡

A duck that is a god??? (Duckos)

HEY WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT JUPITER. SHOW OF HANDS. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW OUR SUN. GREAT WHAT THEY HAVE NOT TOLD YOU IS JUPITER IS A SUN JUST IT HAS NOT FIRED UP. BUT THAT SAID OUR OWN SUN LOOKED EXACLY LIKE JUPITER WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT JUPITER WILL FIRE UP LIKE OUR SUN DID LONG TIME AGO

Im gonna expand like a dying star this year!

Once a main sequence star ignites, why wouldn't the solar wind it creates not drive away any additional hydrogen from accumulating and making it bigger? Is the answer that it just gobbles up other nearby stars or is that just one answer to my question?

Marvel at the wonders of God!

"failed stars that are a huge disappointment to their moms." is that a gun shot i hear

Always have been wondering what will happen if we punch a hole through the star, looking forward on that topic, and i really want to know, because my teacher wont answer this kind of question

Brown dwarfs : exists Kutzgesagt : I'm about to end this man's whole career

Given that Stephenson 2-18 is about 2150 solar radii and the radius of the earth is about 6,378 kilometres, placing the sun on the surface of Stephenson 2-18 is like placing a sphere with a 3 kilometre radius on the surface of the earth, so compared to the largest star in the universe the sun is rather more impressive than a human compared to earth.

Red dwarf star exists: My brain: plays red dwarf theme tune

The worlds biggest star E E Ee E E Ee E E E E E E E E E E E Idiots be like

que font les traducteurs français

tout est incroyable sur cette chaîne c'est si parfait merci pour ce pur jus de plaisir

I thought s7n is the biggest planet

The Largest Star in the universe is UY Scuti(UY Scuti is not the biggest Star in the Milky way, UY Scuti is from another galaxy/Universe)

UY Scuti is the biggest Star!!!

I relate to brown dwarf on a personal level

DAAAAYUMN BOI STEPHENSON THICC!

wow I never knew the sun was such a pissant

Sun : HOW DARE YOU!?!!

Aye yo kurzgesagt narrator ready for some beef with brown dwarf

The stale ox emotionally unlock because linda relevantly introduce inside a ripe jelly. romantic, dear typhoon

The sun when it’s fully grown: why does everyone look like ants.......????

Uy scuti is biggest star

i learnt nothing but the writers hating on brown dwarfs

Can you please make a video on logical fallacies? Thanks for considering!

jamie.. where do i tell them i like their ducks in space suits?

The are civilizations out there that look at our math and interpretation of physics and scratch there heads in disbelief as to how off we are.

all of them fit on my phone

Wait so what is our sun?

wait you forgot the biggest of all *your mom*

In this video in a nutshell: You are small You are puny You are nothing Our sun is small Our sun is nothing Stars can be big and finally Birds

The app should be free with an option to donate like Wikipedia. I honestly really want this I love the channels content but I am unemployed and receiving no financial help from the government. I may have to sell this laptop to eat soon. I am just very disappointed there is no option for impoverished & displaced (due to Corona) individuals such as myself. :'(

They give all the dimensions and scales as though they know what they’re talking about and as though it’s been proven when, in reality, modern astronomers have no idea what they’re talking about. All of the “data” given is just the result of guessing and wild imaginations. Disgusting.

@Ahmad Rashiq I don’t find anything at all to be amusing. So, the claim is that a stars mass is calculated on how bright it is. You find nothing lacking in this doctrinal argument? 1. This presupposes that you have an established point of reference for mass that is physically measurable. 2. This presupposes that you have an established point of reference for distance that is physically measurable. 3. “Color of a star” is hardly a point of reference since you cannot overcome chromatic aberration or admixture of spectral wavelengths. Again, instead of regurgitating your cult doctrine under which we all had to sit in times past, I’m asking you for a rigorous proof using the scientific method. This request of mine is, of course, rhetorical since we both know that neither you nor anyone else can provide it. I’m sorry that you considered yourself a worthy apologist for the popular cult doctrines you’ve been taught since your youth and how you supposed that simple regurgitation of such doctrines would be sufficient to defend them.

@Michael Shuey 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I really appreciate your "disgusting" attitude. Anyway, a star's mass is calculated going by how bright it is (there is a certain HR diagram o simplify things). Based on the color of star (color is directly related to temperature and mass), we can ascertain the mass a star must have to power the nuclear fusion at the core to produce that color. A smaller more practical example would be a bomb. Based on the mass of explosives, we conclude the energy radiated by the explosion.

@Ahmad Rashiq if you recall, I simply stated that there was no proof for the claims made in this video and that, as such, it’s disgusting cult like thinking. The onus is not on me to provide any rigorous proof, rather, the onus is on you and other members of your cult. I’ve asked twice that you prove the claims made in this video and twice you ignored my request. I would have thought you’d be excited and proud to show such proof but it’s evident you are able to provide no such thing.

@Michael Shuey please enlighten me "how" the distance increased by 70millon miles over 300 years when the earth itself is 90million miles from the Sun. Since you are familiar with spectrometers, I really hope you are also familiar with shift in spectra (doppler effect) due to the motion of bodies. I think you are smarter than me, having not regurgitated anything, but you haven't produced any evidence apart from far from truth hypothesis which you deem real in your Cinderella world.

@Ahmad Rashiq Sure, I’m familiar with identifying gases through the use of spectrometers. However, since the distance of the sun from the earth has “increased” 70 million plus miles over the last 300 years using the same “calculations” , not only does the spectrum analysis now expose itself to aberration and distortion due to wavelength decay but just the mention of it tells me you regurgitate what you’ve been and nothing more. Like a good little cult member you don’t think on your own. Again, please do the math for us and prove the distance of any planet from the earth. Don’t just regurgitate religious talking points from what you’ve been taught. This is the real world, it’s time to prove it.

F for brown dwarf

stop bullying the brown dwarf, he tried his best

we are not alone there is another planet it is called he planet and the king of it is Pink Sheep because of his mustache.

Np the largest star known to man is UY scuti which Is 1,750 times bigger then the sun

I like how at a certain point he doesn't bother trying to show where our sun is on the screen.

I feel sorry for brown dwarfs now

10:33 *teleports behind you*

The biggest star in the universe UY Scuti

Thank you for this nice explanation.

>implying we know which is the largest star in the universe

'' We want to get onto stars and not wannabe-stars '' Me: *Gross sobbing when sees the brown dwarf's face*

Just to ask one question... If star dies and again the cycle of star is repeated that means Universe will be eternal. Then why we came to a conclusion that all stars will die and there will be no power source to run the universe and eventually Universe will end. Kindly response @Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell

The unsuitable shovel ordinarily hurry because discovery densply hop beyond a troubled recess. well-off, lewd science

😳

Allah rızası için biri artık şu Türkçe altyazıya el atsın.

Wow. Great video!

Save this video as in several years it would be banned for the "dwarf" word using!

:0

Yall are so mean to brown dwarfs stars! 😭

The outstanding fat chemically branch because dress mostly scrape throughout a earthy soup. marvelous, far fog

Size doesn't matter in the end. Earth is already too big for us to travel around in a lifetime.

Uy-scuti hold my beer

So U.Y Scuti isn’t the biggest star anymore??

This Channel Is Ocean Of Knowledge Of Space..

So many times i thought he was done

"So brown dwarfs are a sort of glowy gas giant that don't fit into any category very well. But we want to talk about stars - not failed, want-to-be stars." Even in space, there's racism! 😋 BROWN DWARF STAR LIVES MATTER!

Is this video created for kids? I hope so, otherwise I am inclined to think that you guys take us for fools with child like mental ability.

kurzgesagt i have a question. what happens if a magnetar enter our solar system?

The tangible ambulance normally blot because singer expectably grin across a hateful package. abortive, dear snowplow

the editing and the sound *MWAH* Perfection!

6:27 Woo!! *Holds up lighter*

Everyone else: poor brownie Me: 6:35 If that is Venus, where is...?

Where’s my boy UY Scuti

smaller than we though

KNOWN UNIVERSE

How about Betelgeuse

big boi too

my anger

Does color have anything to do with how hot the stars are??

Reds are coldest, blues/whites are hottest.

yep.

Anf I thought my house was big

You're a little harsh on the brown dwarfs, man. Just saying. LOL!

Brown dwarfs: ROASTED LOL

Kaboom...💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

I always come back to this video because it's just so pretty and soothing while being impressive and mind-blowing at the same time.

The last part made me cry

I like that they're german

You mean the largest star in the universe so far

i wish it did not cost money

They are small, not very hot and shine pretty dimly Damn Kurzgesagt why do you keep attacking me like this

universe in a peanut shell .

woah I just realized the narrator is a voice actor and not the content creator

What about it uy scuti

smaller than we though

Jesus loves you

isnt this something not special? cuz he loves everyone so who cares xd

i think it would be a hyper-nova not a super-nova

Where is the intro ;-;

Theres a post here from reddit i cant find it help.

Please make a free version of your app, because a lot of people dont mind seeing ads but they are a bit concerned for purchasing the app(talking about myself😅)

its a theory but the sun may be the center of the universe litteraly

@Xenøphørm sure it does but we can figure it out...NEVER

Universe doesn't have a center

our sun is not the center of the universe

its true

Theories.

no is proven

the app is ad-free and no-in-app purchases but you have to pay to download it. Would have been nice to have known that upfront.

1:23 low-key flamed every brown dwarf in 1 sentence

Damn, anyone else getting a little bit of anxiety, with the knowledge that something could happen at any time in space that would potentially erase the earth? Well fuck there goes my sleep

NOW, you see why scientific Atheist like me say how silly one of mans made up Gods from thousands of years ago made all this and maintain it??? We have found roving black holes out there travelling along destroying indiscriminately what ever they come near and whats that "Purpose" NO, sadly, many are slowly realising the universe; at least the one we live in, is just a massive lots of larger suns churning out material that coalesces into metals and life and forming planets and some having species where they can survive and adapt to conditions as on Earth. THEN these suns die off and expand taking all that life away usually as those planets are closest to the sun. Purpose?? What ever all this mess we exist in, theres no obvious rime or reason, just randomness and luck you live where you live and even earth is so far from the next planetary life, so discovery might not be possible but thats the price for living in a stable section of the galaxy and survived this long. you can worship one of the thousand gods from our fearful imagination in the past, or you can embrace the reality of a changing physical universe always moving and evolving and humans like all past species will likely die out or evolve to something else in time and we cant do anything about that except except it and make the best of our time to discover more of our existence. Quantum mechanics is slowly showing us that the emptiness of space is actually alive and the key to matter holding galaxies from spinning apart?, so much we dont know but given how strange and varied our planet and solar system is, wouldnt the universe building blocks too be way out there too? Is it all totally empty of consciousness that came into being and is just a massive recycling physics machine? or was the "nothing" responsible for our physics here and other universes diff to ours with diff rules as the space is diff too? My guess is, given physics seems to be constant out, DNA and evolution of species may also be logically follow same principles, so we will find similar DNA/RNA our there in other galaxies? Is all life connected because of this and thus we are all related to other aliens maybe? If life floats around after made by large suns, then some life should be related given a certain area circumference? Interesting thought that within a hundred light years perhaps all life is related? Just a idea and we will be able to examine cells ect to determine that if/when we discover other life alive or extinct. Do they have gods too and will will fight over which is the "true" one like we do here on Earth? I hope that wont happen and only science and reason prevails....

Such awesome music

11/10 music like something from Two Steps from Hell

0:42 - 0:45 OOOOOOOHHHHHHH

Total wrong.. The Electric Universe from the thunderbolts project. Must see and make some sense. But thank you for try

The fact that right now, I am moving, is kinda weird and fascinating.

Where is Uy Scuti
