Size, Distance, and Time in the Universe | Soft-Spoken ASMR (3.5 Hours)

Thanks!

did "we are the universe trying to understand itself" blow anyone else's mind or is it just me... that is the most amazing and beautiful concept ever

I put my headphones in before bed, had some ear cleaning asmr going.... Woke up at 3am to this guy explaining the universe. I'm not mad about it.

3 hours of a masterpiece. If you fall asleep, It worked and if you didn’t, it also worked. Well done. Really great job

The amount of space between objects in the Universe is... vastly underrated.

This channel is insanely underrated!! This guy could narrate documentaries!

Honestly I love that this has music in the background, it makes everything so much more dreamy and relaxing

ASMR is absolutely the best tool to learn / memorize things! Only relaxed mind is curious and absorbs facts easily! I've noticed how I learn new English words (it's not my native language) just by watching / listening ASMR videos. And that happens without any effort.
Pure magic!

Pov: it's 2am, you can't sleep and you don't know yet if this video is helping because of his relaxing voice or if it's keeping you up because of the topic

Why isn’t your content a Netflix series?

I took two semesters of Astronomy in college, and loved it, but I never even understood what Trigonometry was until I watched this video. Kind of mind-blowing. I wish math was taught this way in school. Thanks man, you are doing good work.

For 4 nights, I've been trying to watch this video whole and I keep falling asleep 🤣 it's sooooo relaxing, but then I wake up frustrated cause I fell asleep 🤣
You killin' me mate 💜

Cant imagine how laborious this video cut was. Your voice is also very relaxing. Good job!

Finally someone came up with the idea of combining asmr with the reflection of the endlessness of space. Framing ones existence in the context of the universes history is something very calming, talking out of experience.

I can’t imagine how much editing you did for this video. It’s clearly a labor of love. I’m very impressed! Great work!

You always humbly say, “it’s probably because I’m a bad teacher”, but I just wanted to say I feel like you’re an amazing teacher! I always learn a lot from these videos in the most calming easily absorbable way possible.

Hi, just wanted to let you know I've had this video in my sleep playlist for months and I still haven't gotten tired of it, I can't imagine the time and effort you've put into this. It feels like an expensive book I should treasure.

Now that I've heard of how small we really are in the universe, I can imagine how an atom must feel when trying to understand how big a human is.

holy mother of pearl, how we’ve waited!

"Parallel lines have so much in common, it's a shame they'll never meet." I love this guy already 😂

Anyone else just want to learn all there is to know about the universe while tryna fall asleep at 2 in the morning.

Dam. Mad respect with the fam and baby and you still mange to put out a 3 hr video. Thank you and bless you sir.

I love space, everything about the universe and planets and our solar system, I always wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger until I started developing several immune system diseases. This video comforts my inner child that still hopes I might go to space one day, thank you for such an amazing, informative, and relaxing video!!!

I love these educational asmr videos. The other day I fell asleep to your video about the sun and my dream was essentially just an animation of the things you were describing and your asmr was narrating my dream. It was so cool, gotta be one of my top ten cool dreams.

I love how the most replayed part of this video is the start just shows that this guy makes quality content. That’s some nice work.

This is the kind of conversation I want to have while I’m awake. Yet it’s also the most relaxing one to fall asleep to. Guess I’ll have to watch it twice lol.

When your favorite ASMRtists just drops a 3 1/2 hour bombshell mid exam season you know it's early christmas

I think I just fell asleep listening to relaxing music. I then woke up with a better understanding of myself and the universe. I feel enlightened and I feel like I just swallowed a whole container of Altoids with water. I feel refreshed and smarter than ever. Thank you so much.

I always love how deep and crisp some peoples voices are.

1:17:49 - The scale of technological advancement over the past century is incomprehensible. It is no wonder there are such severe generational conflicts in America right now. And it's still accelerating; it won't be long before there are worldview conflicts between people born years apart rather than decades apart. As a front-line Millennial (I was born in 1982), I already see some of that; people 5 years older than me and younger than me struggle to relate to me, and struggle even more to relate to each other. It is predicted that Millennials will experience the equivalent of _20,000 years_ of pre-industrial technological advancement in our lifetimes.

These are the topics and questions I live for. This video was beautifully done.

The fact that you're not even a student in this field and yet can teach us these amazing concepts so easily blows my mind

I’ve been studying doing research in astrophysics for years now and this video was still beautiful to watch. The biggest thing in this field is that people may know all the math and complex physics, but being able to conceptualize and imagine what’s happening is a whole different game - and in later years is a concept that is completely lost by many. I can honestly say this helped how I visualize some basic concepts and I really liked how you were able to blow my mind still with the thought about how much kight is really emitted by a star by the fact a certain amount escapes and that’s what we see of other galaxies. So many videos just try to blow your mind with the same flashy concepts of physical scale, time, black holes (which are all impressive and still hold new surprises, but are just scratching the surface of the immensity of nature). So this was a really nice insight into some of the simple, but more subtle beauties of nature. Great job and I hope to see more astronomy astr vids like this!

I appreciate these videos so much. I get bad migraines that can keep me in bed all day and I won’t be able to keep my eyes open or look at lights. But I also get bored just laying in a dark room in pain for hours. Your videos have been so perfect. They keep me distracted and interested and help me sleep. You’re my go to migraine nurse lol

This shouldn't be free its literally a calming medicine for me rich= highest calibre of asmr content on KRplus

I’ve found the most relatable way of explaining parallax is when you’re driving, mountains in the background, road right next to you. The road races by while the mountains barely seem
to move.

Thanks for being my teacher, really helped out since i'm studying in astronomy to be astromoner!!

hopefully i’ll fall asleep before I have an existential crisis, I guess we’ll see

Good to see you back, and with such a good video 👍

I was exhausted because im suffering insomnia specially these two weeks and i just liked the title so i played the video and at the first minute i FADE TO SLEEP and it was so good... Thanks i needed sleep

I am speechless tbh. I have listened to alot of ASMR, but this is by far something of the most soothing stuff, I have ever come across. Perfect for either getting sleepy ( in a good way ), or while you are doing work on computer and such.

These concepts are my absolute favorite! This reminds me of having late night, existential thoughts and conversations with my friends. Thank you so much for being able to capture that feeling

Damn this dropped on a day that was going really
bad. Just gonna hermit in my bedroom and listen to this. Cheers dude.

I fell asleep to a college ASMR channel and woke up to this…. Knowingly Started at minute 1:32 currently at 34:27. 🤣
You have a soothing and relaxing voice sir ✊🏽

Is crazy how when i sleep with my phone bumps/slides so much on my body that when i wake up is in a Chanel/video I've never seen before!

The god of asmr has returned

It's like you never left us rich! Thank you for continuing this wonderful channel you are more beloved than you realize! Hope you're family is safe and surrounded by nothing but the best asmr, love and good vibes

I keep forgetting how early we came into existence. I mean we haven't even reached .000000000001 percent of the universes life span and we came into being.

The channel I've been searching for!!!
Such an in depth perspective on scale in general!
If one begins to feel small when thinking about astronomical scales, all that is needed is to remember how many atoms are in one's fingernail and the distances between the nuclei.
A human is literally a universe to the atom.
I can totally relate with your feelings of awe. To me it feels like it's beyond a particular threshold of perspective.
The vastness of the universe with the earth floating around within it somewhere seems like a situation beyond mere words . How can this situation exist?
How is it that we can be in this situation and be aware of it?
Is there a foundational principal that enables a mind to develop that can grasp the situation?
If a bacterium could comprehend the planet, could it then find the existence of the galaxy?
Even by this scale comparison, we are many magnitudes of order beyond that in terms of distance/comprehension.
"Those microscopic little humans are looking right at us! How did they do it!?!"

His voice reminds me of one of my teachers that allowed us to sleep in class if we had worked ahead the day before and i can fall asleep to it so easily and his videos remind me of school and how relaxed some of the lessons were

One minute in I know it's gonna be my all-time favorite sleep video. I so deeply appreciate your brain and the EFFORT u put in to your videos.

I somehow ended up falling asleep with my headphones on and all of a sudden, this video starts playing. An hour into the video, I wake up and ask myself what is going on, who is speaking and what is he actually saying. I end up falling asleep again since I was exhausted. I wake up half an hour later and realise what I was listening to the whole time.
Love the effort you put in and thank you for relaxing me after an exhausting and stressful day.

Your voice is so soothing. And the video editing is next level

That opening line is absolutely phenomenal, worthy of ANY acclaimed sci-fi author!

My teachers always told me I needed a good hook to grab the readers attention: holy moly you nailed it.

I love his voice, it’s so soothing 💕

Best thing to wake up to at 3AM with 4% battery

The whole first section was oddly nostalgic for me. Math wasn’t my favorite subject but I have a lot of fun memories and this topic in particular always stands out in my memory

Me in class:
"Sorry guys I'd love to stay and learn, but imma go learn _and_ fall asleep."

I think about the concept from the intro a lot and was really happy to see someone else mention it and put it so simply!

Goodnight everyone

The onscreen acknowledgment of your misplacing the candles is so charming

Your a blessing from heaven you and your channel.He answered my prayer with a long video

Love this channel!!! Keep up the great content!! It’s been my go to now every night an hour before and till I fall asleep. Just FY a million seconds is 12 days, a billion is 31 years, and a trillion is 31,000 years.

I've watched this video so many times in the last year and it is still so relaxing and all the science is still so interesting

this is absolutely amazing, i’m just waiting for when this channel goes viral. i cannot fall asleep with our it. you’re doing amazing!:)

I absolutely admire how you're able to babble and babble and babble sooo fluently for sooo long. I'd run out of words and stay speachless after ten minutes.

i am never gonna stop watching this

I love all your videos, Rich! It’s always a treat when you upload a new video! I always gravitate back to this one, and lately it’s tied with your JWST video. Such detail and in depth analysis! Can’t praise enough !! 🙌🏻

It is astounding how much I could learn from an ASMR video of all things.
It is also astounding that your provide this content for free! Thank you. ♥

space is absolutely the most exciting and incredible “thing” to exist

When i had covid last year I was listening this and it was incredibly soothing and I still listen whenever I feel tension

I remember years ago watching a programme with a painter, Bob Ross, your voice reminds me of him, I was in awe of his skill n knowledge too.

Always taking educational ASMR to the next level, loveeee

Always love this kind videos,
makes me feel the awe for the universe, what infinite honore it is to be alive in this neverending space of nothing while feeling everything thats possibly imaginable.

Found this video a couple weeks after you first posted, glad I stumbled upon it again. Have great night everyone stay safe!❤️

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this! I've slept to the gas giants video every night for months, Thank you Rich!!!

This is why I love math. Even though I'm terrible at it, I still love it. Thankyou for putting these great vids out! Truly something wonderful

Thank you for your work! The content is so deep and the form is so smooth, somehow you manage to phrase many of the thoughts I unsuccessfully feel the urge of expressing about Universe and perspectives. Your work is fundamentally beautiful and inspiring 🫶🏼

So I put in my earphones and fell asleep to ASMR I woke up at like 1:34am to this guy explaining the distance between us and the moon and honestly it was more relaxing then the ASMR itself

This is my first podcast episode of yours, and I can’t wait to watch the previous episodes ❤️ ty for creating this

Can I use trigonometry to calculate how freaking awesome this video is? Congrats - this is brilliant and beautifully constructed!

this is amazing a soft and calming voice unlike the other asmr creators just perfect and an hour in to the video started getting interested to the subject and it's just the size of us compared to the sun and the galaxy is just crazy thank you for this video :)

Wow! This asmr is so different from the other videos I have watched! I love the music in the background and you soothing voice. Subscribed ✌️

"Man, I wish there was a cosmic video perfect for relaxing and falling asleep". This is not only it, but over three hours long.

You’re back finally 😭 just couldn’t get enough of your pleasant and calming voice!!

I find these ASMR videos really relaxing

Let's find out's vieos are so good and informative that sometimes I can't decide whether to sleep listening his Asmr or take notes😅

can’t express how glad i am for the new content. so glad you’re able to find time to make such a long video around being a father and everything else!

Idk who is this man but he has the most soothing beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. 😌

What a beauty!! I can't describe how much I've enjoyed watching this video. Apart from so much information that it gives u, it’s relaxing, it’s informative, the music is good. One of the best things I've found on KRplus. 😮‍💨

Not sure if this is helpful. But I prefer this voice to the whispering one in the newer videos. The whispers make me anxious and bc I don’t hear exactly the words, my brain wakes me up trying to understand what u said. This one has the best voice and ambient sound.

So, this is the best day in a long time

This was the best ASMR I have ever heard. I felt like I was learning something new as I was sleeping. Love the background music it was so soothing. Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate it. I'm definitely subscribing.❣❣

Perfect mono tone for sleeping. Good night y’all

2:14 This has to be probably my 13th rewatch trying to stay awake and figure parallax, wish me luck

2 FAVORITE THINGS COMBINED HOLY SHIT THANK YOU FOR BLESSING ME AND MY EARS FOR 3 HOURS AND 33 MINUTES

The excitement when I saw this on my feed.....cannot wait to dive into all of this! Thanks 🤩

The quote you put at the start reminded me of something. Hank Green just put out a short emphasizing that we aren’t actually THAT insignificant, considering that we are the culmination 3 billion-ish years of unbroken progress.

Does anyone feel like me that the reading voice is very soothing and it makes me fall asleep very quickly even though there are many new things I need to hear and learn?
