Thank you, wonderful Anton! Not only do I appreciate your videos (I find you a good science communicator), but I appreciate that you put findings like this into context, e.g. whether or not they're verified, at what sigma level the detection is, and so on. These are important caveats for viewers and listeners who might not be very critical thinkers. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Minnesota.

I love how Anton says: “it was just another black hole collision, which wasn’t particularly interesting” Science progress is going so fast, that even something we just proved a decade ago, is now considered trivial. But it is understandable, if there are hundreds of collisions that happen constantly. Just funny how quickly we tend to move past it and explore further. Love science and thank you Anton for sharing these breakthroughs with us on a daily basis!

Channels like yours are so important because they remind me that science is still thriving, and discoveries are always happening, despite all the other reasons/excuses to feel hopeless in the modern world.
