"We don't know why it's doing that." The most powerful/exciting thing you can hear in science.

Let's be happy that there are still fundamental scientific problems to be solved. Otherwise, channels popularizing research results, such as Anton's, would be downright boring.

I went on a diet recently, thereby reversing the expansion of the universe with my stomach the void. This video made me hungry again.

A universe, big enough for all the curiosity in the world; full of questions to consume us, and many questions for us to consume! ❤

The last decade in astronomy basically expanded the "known unknown" territory of our understanding of universe, while not as satisfying as discovering a complete theory, we always start from knowing what we don't know!

9:30 I think that the renaissance is already well underway. We have extraordinary new imaging equipment and near-magical computational capabilities that open up entirely new avenues of research. The scary part is that, more than ever before, these advances in science are wholly dependent on a functioning technological civilization and, right now, ours is fraying badly at the edges.

The universe constantly shows us how little we know and understand but also how much we have to discover and learn!
