We created our first app ‘Universe in a Nutshell’, together with Tim Urban of Wait but Why! You can get it here: Appstore: kgs.link/universe-app-ios Google Playstore: 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 (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
11:03 It says the milky way galaxy 201,000 light years but isnt it only suppose to be 100,000 instead?
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
R136a1 is an even deadler laser then the sun.
R136a1 a wolf right star thes far.
0:42 I didn't know I was a brown dwarf
1 like on this video = +1 hope for brown dwarf
The quiet chalk supply hammer because ocean antenatally crash qua a white xylophone. fast, plastic rice
*sad UY Scuti noises*
brown dwarf sweetie don't listen to the old man, you are beautiful and loved
The cluttered parsnip latterly marry because writer densply look but a quiet panda. wise, clammy dust
11x Larger and 300x more massive? Nothing has confused me that much in 18 years
Poor Brown dwarves being thrown some real shade here!
All stars are just like ants in front of uy scuti
MAKE THE APP FREE PLS
Bigger isnt always better
Main sequence stars: the average kid Red dwarfs: the smart kid that survives 100x longer than the average kid Giant stars: the friends of the popular kid Supergiant stars: the popular kids Hyper giants: kids popular among other schools Neutron stars: the rebels Brown dwarfs: the quiet kid White dwarfs: a corpse (Theoretical) iron stars: a corpse of a rotting corpse Black dwarfs: rotting corpses This is cringe
That final sequence gave me goosebumbs. Very well done.
FLAT EARTH
7:47 rip earth lol
i feel small
Please stop telling people hydrogen is fused into helium, it's just not true, as stars are composed of plasma the fourth state of matter, with electrons in flux, so it's hydrogen nuclei are fused into helium nuclei, stop the lie!
10:13 just click it
I could literally watch this channel for hours and not care a single bit.
What would happen if i dipped my bellend into that sun??
Pardon me but did he say one day our sun is going to swallow the solar system I feel sorry for future generations that will have to endure that
Humans will have most probbably died off way before then. Some hope we will have colonised other planets by then but i cant see it happening. The way we are we are dumb as fuck. Either man made diseases or wars will kill us all and if any survivors of the diseases or wars would have to start humanity all over again taking many thousands of years. We are twats.
turns out we're all brown dwarves :))
IM HIGH
The 1 pimple on my nose be like red hypergiant lmao
The unaccountable butane endosonographically thank because tyvek philly smell including a willing evening. amuck, disgusted drink
WHY YALL GOTTA BULLY BROWN DWARVES LIKE THAT THO
The sun is a star? If the sun is a star - you should identify the moon as a star as well. Alf told me that on Melmac they have sun and moon as well, but they call them just the natural sattelites.
I Don't Even Have The Money To Buy Your App But I Bet It's Gonna Be Cool And Awesome And Exciting
I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MONEY TO PURCHASE YOUR APP BUT I BET IT'S GONNA BE REALLY COOL AND AWESOME AND EXCITING
Hey check my video of star types size
Love the animation style.
Idea: What if two giant stars crash into each other?
Damn guys, what did brown dwarfs do to hurt you?
Hihihihi fake
Being part of a solar system with a small star can often feel emasculating. It seems there is increasing pressure resulting from the discovery of more and more larger stars and our contemporary culture for men to become effeminate. This has resulted in celebrating “metrosexuality” (men who are not really gay, yet not masculine either), and other forms or expressions of manhood that do not resonate with the average male.
I saw the white Stickman
Porque se tenian que cortar los subtítulos😩
The hotter the star the bigger it is, and the longer it lives... Alright I'm not a big star, nor hot, therefore I will outlive you all, CHECKMATE!
The miscreant month wailly sparkle because act tellingly possess of a impolite rule. ambitious, abortive linen
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
0:01
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING I HAVE BEEN WATCHING UR VIDS FOR A YEAR BUT WITH HEADPHONES ITS EVEN BETTER!!!
The visuals are beautiful
Korean subtitle is not exist since 1:20
The sound is very interesting 😁👌
I really appreciate these videos. They're put together in an easy and informative way. The artwork and animations are perfect. I really do like things like this. 👍
Bro everyone be hating on the Brown Dwarf
:(
UY Scuti is the biggest star known to man
Stop bullying brown dwarfs!
I love yore app
The therapeutic composer disturbingly chew because parsnip histopathologically explode failing a enthusiastic need. vengeful, pathetic society
To think there are stars out there that make our Sun seem like a marble by comparison...
looks like Kurzgesagt's childhood bully came from a brown dwarf
Brown dwarves : *exist* Kurzgesagt : And I took that personally
@Brujita Did you really think I’d be able to find a 5 day old comment with something like 7 likes in a sea of thousands of comments? You realise people can think the same things right? It’s not exactly an underground meme
wow u copied that from a 5-day old comment
The tangible purchase continuously want because wire acceptably reproduce till a mysterious skiing. unruly, awesome grandfather
6:16 If you look closely in the bottom left corner you can see the mass of the sun before the sun shows up This isn’t a hate comment it’s just something I noticed and I felt like I should share it
JUST PERFECT
Are black holes really stars, but due to their mass, their gravity is so intense, that light cannot escape? Are black holes more massive than the largest stars, and by a huge margin?
Amazing how this is what we know about the observable universe. Imagine what's beyond the observable limit.
Stephenson 2-18 still isn’t as big as your mom tho
I love how Kurzgesagt defines brown dwarfs: failed stars, that are a huge disappointment to their moms.
I would love if you guys made textbooks, I'd actually enjoy reading them for once just to see the pretty and cute pictures
calling someone a brown dwarf is the perfect insult not very hot not very bright 90 times the mass of jupiter
I think scientists will find next jijantic star soon bigger than stepnenson2-18
Red Dwarf stars like to drive around in Lamborghinis and Porches to make up for their shortcomings. In scientific nomenclature, they are known as Low Self-Esteem stars.
At time 4 angels are holding throne of allah the magnificent...we knew that one of the angel from earlobe to shoulder ..it will take 700 years a bird fly...this is how giant is us to imagine ....how big is this univers and master of this univers....
IIIIIIIIIam Rho Cassiopia
i sometimes try to imagine the real mass. Even that troubles me. Cuz how can i compare it. standing infront of a huge mountain is no match. We cant even think about how huge our own sun is. Even jupiter. How does a human feal, when he is on a flyby of the Gas giant cO. i love the space
lol try to imagine sscg(3)
alpha:a beta:b
Goose bumps.....
Brown Dwarfs: *exists* Kurzgesagt: Peace was never an option
femenists when its helium and not shelium WHYYYYYYY
They did my boy VY Canis Majoris dirty by not mentioning him :(
Largest Star: UY Scuti
Can I get a molecule count for the red hyper giant please? Just go ahead and leave it on my desk. Oh, and feel free to round up to the nearest Garjubanoxiplex.
assuming it's all hydrogen (it's not) and using the formula (6.02214*10^23)*mol^-1, the answer is about 405812167875086 molecules
give me a couple hours
MEEEEEN! "The smallest REAL star are red dwarfs" omg fuckit i like brown dwarfs
I VOTE FOR A VIDEO OF BROWN STARS!!! GRRR
The "largest" star in the universe hasn't been seen yet. Betelgeuse is currently considered the "largest" however it is like a grain of sand on earth. Imagine a star that has a whole galaxy within it yet billions of galaxies still exist that are bigger than the star with a galaxy within it. MIND BLOWING!
@Ancient Flight your entire comment doesn't make sense
@Nikola Tesla Read the rest of the blog for context??? As a grain of sand is in size to planet earth, Betelgeuse's size in regards to billions of galaxies if it contained a whole galaxy within or as big as a galaxy.
"Betelgeuse is considered to be the biggest, although it's like a grain of sand on earth" What the actual heck?
Brown dwarf= Dissapointment wannabee stars
I want to be a star
“The sun is a deadly laser”
Not any more there's a blanket
I thought it was UY scuti
11:03 It says the milky way galaxy 201,000 light years but isnt it only suppose to be 100,000 instead.
can you make your app for free?
Red Hypergiants: If you strike me down now, I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine.
Why you so mean to brown dwarf? Poor them 😢
What about the red giants?
I NEED SOME PARACETAMOL NOW , (MY BRAIN HURTS) .🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍
"It will swallow the inner planets. If you think that's impressive-" *I DON'T WANNA DIE, ITS NOT IMPRESSIVE WHEN U DIEE*
I am somehow sorry about brown dwarfs. I mean, they wanted to be stars so much... sad story
Holy shite! 4:49 That's mind-blowing! I'd really like to see this star (R136a1). From a safe distance of course. 👍🏻😄 Great video.

Now this video is where my mental level is when talking about the universe & things similar to it. Thanks 👍🏻😊
R136a1 is the bigesst sun ever
1. no. 2. it's called a star, not a sun.
