    The original Limits of Humanity: • How Far Can We Go? Lim...
    Is there a border we will never cross? Are there places we will never reach, no matter how hard we try? It turns out, there are. Even with sci-fi technology, we are trapped in a limited pocket of the Universe and the finite stuff within it. How much universe is there for us and how far can we go?

    Hey Everybody! So this video is a remake and remaster of an older video that has a mistake in it. You can watch the original here: krplus.net/bidio/irBsq4l6lnu3iKQ
    What is the mistake? In a nutshell: In the original video we said that it was PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the local group and reach other galaxy groups. That the rest of the universe is moving away from us too fast to catch up. But that’s wrong. It is not PHYSICALLY impossible to leave the Local Group, just extremely unlikely that we’ll ever do it.
    BUT: If you have a lot of time and a fast spaceship you can still get to a limited amount of galaxies - these galaxies will eventually get out of reach forever but until then, they are technically within reach. So why did we keep the video up and didn’t purge it when we deleted our addiction and refugee crisis videos?
    Well, it has to do with the nature and severity of the mistake: We did talk to a few astrophysicists to ask them what they thought and if we should take down the video. Their feedback was pretty clear, they thought it was still fine as the universe expansion things explained in the video are correct and they didn’t consider the local group thing as too major. This was actually a case of “good enough”.
    Also, back when this original upload happened, Kurzgesagt was operating at pretty tight margins and just redoing a video was not easy for us. Back then the team was small and we were fighting to put new videos out. So we just swallowed the bitter pill and kept the video around.
    But the video still bothered us, as far as we know this was the biggest unfixed mistake on the channel. Super frustrating, especially because the core idea of the video is so fascinating. The limit of our species. The actual limit. So yeah, we finally remade the video, sorry for taking this long, life got in the way.
    The original video will stay up, you can compare the two if you want to see how far we have come in a few years in terms of production quality. All in all, we could only grow the channel and work on getting better because of direct support from you guys. So thank you for that. - Philipp

    Having full transparency is simply refreshing and is why I value the content you create.
    Mistakes are in fact unavoidable especially with such complicated topics and in-depth science.
    Which as we all know is evolving over time as more technological advances are developed and as a direct result more accurate information is available.
    I applaud you and I hope all platforms including the government and social media companies as a whole follow your lead and provide its constituents the same honesty.
    After all we are but monkeys with good ideas trying to figure out life's deepest and most philosophical questions and values.
    No one expects the ultimate truth; they demands the utmost honesty and humility. That can be understood, but to claim to be all knowing even after being proven wrong is just insulting.
    I one hundred percent encourage that you keep the old video up for comparison, you pin a comment for clarification; BUT also tag a link to the updated video for true transparency and be able to access the most accurate version with no confusion.
    This increases your views, as well as the quality of your connection with your audience.
    If everyone operated this way companies would be considered more reputable and believable. Well done ❤

    these types of vids never cease to give me chills, it always drags me back from that uncomprehensible sense of fear of maybe dying? Or is it the dying part or the millions of surging unanswered questions that will never be enlightened with these mortal lives we've got.
    Had always relied on the philosophy of Socrates regarding death (much better than the hell and heaven of every religions out there) but guess there are holes that will never be covered by these mere philosophies.
    Based here I think we all have these answers because we rely only on one medium which is the use of light, but I think we should like to explore more on these so called dark energy in order to understand this universe even more, as we're kind of already reaching the dead end of studying this universe through that medium which is the light.

      Ok so basically what he’s saying is that it is impossible to travel past the ‘event horizon’ of our local group and then travel to another one as the universe is expanding at the speed of light and maybe even faster.
      But what if maybe in a few ten thousand years if we have the technology to create wormholes if that is even possible (is it?) would we be able to bend space and time to then travel to other groups so there would be no need to travel faster than light which is theoretically impossible.

    It makes you wonder what the point is then. If there's an eternal limit to how far we can explore, then we'll eventually hit that limit given enough time passes. One thing that has always been at the back of my mind when thinking of meaning is that the vastness of space, especially since it is expanding (aka, making more) would be the path for humanity to keep trucking along into when everything is done/killed off from the moment prior (Earth, Sun, next planets that are explored, etc;), thereby always ensuring that prior achievements/things obtained will have it's purpose to further along that journey long after you and your future generations are gone. But since there's a limit, that we'll eventually touch everything (in an ideal world, no pun intended), then there's no new "stage" to reach for when previous stages expire, and everything in the universe has a shelf life. Therefore, what previously gave meaning as a void that would eventually open new opportunities for said moments to continue to be actualized, is now a door shut in advance which strips away any meaning humanity used to fall back on altogether.

    6:53 It's worth pointing out that it's actually possible to get to distant galaxies much faster, although with a major caveat. Due to the effects of time dilation, if you were to go extremely close to the speed of light, you could reach distant galaxies much sooner, potentially within a human lifetime from the perspective of you the traveler. However from the perspective of a distant observer such as those on Earth, it would appear that you were traveling much much slower, no faster than the speed of light. From their perspective it would appear as if your journey did in fact take millions of years and if you were to ever to return home, you find that millions of years have passed. This would mean that while it may be possible to send colony ships to settle distant galaxy clusters within the lifetime of the passengers aboard, they would essentially be one-way time machine to the distant future for those passengers. That being said the amount of energy needed to travel at a speed necessary for those relativistic effects to come into play is enormous and isn't something humanity is achieving anytime soon.

    Well, actually, we can kind of go through these limits, as if we figure out a way to travel through space-time instead of in space-time, we could go faster than light. We could create a quantum bubble and be able to travel through space-time, and so be able to travel faster, much much faster than light. A distance of 1000 light years we could reach in a couple of days.

Unfortunately there’s a chance that civilization ends itself or maybe an event could end all of humanity like an asteroid or a nuclear war, which would also be caused by ourselves. I think that right now we just need to focus on coming together as a species and fixing our planet and way of life so that we have a much better chance of actually achieving the goals of breaking the speed of light and such.
