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
Pls dont keep it paid as i cant download it then
This is not free on Appstore.

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
8:47 WOH G64: am I a joke to you? One dislike is from WOH G64
premty stars...
I thought that the largest star is billion times bigger than our Sun.
KURZGESAGT makes the world for me ... it's just, hard to explain how good it is... I just don't know...
You forgot the orange dwarfs
We made a whole video about red dwarfs. would you like to know more? Me: *gets starship troopers flashbacks*
0:41 when my teachers discuss my grades
Love how all of your subs see your vids and that's why you have 15 mil views... you have 14.5 mil subs...
I like the fact that we are currently traped on this planet but we know about things that are FAR FAR away from us
Why are you being so mean to the brown dwarf's!!!
Uy scuti is a huge star too
The first thing I like about this channel is the art style XD
If Stephenson is so large then Imagine size of Stephen...
The people that dissapointed their moms can try to do better next time. Do what you think is good brown dwarfs
10:18 my memmal brain just collapsed and I got goosebumps..
Türkçe altyazısı çok kötü acilen birinin değiştirmesi gerek
Always loved the animations on this channel.
RED dwarf: the smallest real star RED hypergiant: the biggest star
He's just jealous of brown dwarves' 10 trillion years life span
Kurzgesagt: Now let’s show the largest stars in the universe,- PAworld: Nope!
Uy sctui is not the largest star anymore?
This is a siriusly good video
I'm still trying to find out why this video didnt have an intro.
uy scuti:
The shade it throws on brown dwarfs
Why we need to pay the app
8:49 *Black hole wants to know your location*
This music makes me wanna ignite myself up to light the universe and all it's creatures
its bigger than VY canis majoris
largest star UV scuti
What if there were just 3 fundamental forces instead of 4. And gravity was just an emergent force of time, kinda like friction. Why does gravity have to be quantum? With this said, we have a unified theory! with just 3 forces. Trijets are cool too you know!
So were bound to die yeah?
You human you see how small you are and then who are you to say that allah doesn't exist and this massive creation was just was a little mistake or without nothing came to exist its like i get pregnant without a man and then the 7 leyers of universe is just like a ring on the earth in the size of the throne of allah then the biggest and most shiny star is nothing compare to the light of allah if he unvaild himself will burn everything every stars in universe and everything you know and you don't know and i will always bow to the infinite light of allah and this falls knowledge satan gave you will end soon
Go bow to allah
He had the perfect setup to say, "but nothing can be as large as your mother" i wouldve lost it
Only one command from allah will end them all
WHAT ABOUT UY SCUTI?
You people Believe anything they claim. Space is fake!
I'd say it's pretty easy to imagine scales of that magnitude. Especially when you put it in the sense of it would take about six and a half minutes to travel around it at light speed which pretty much puts it roughly as big around o1au is long.if it takes late eight minutes to get from the surface of the sun to my eyes here on Earth then I'd say that's a very good rough imagining.
The image you see in the night sky is just a memory of what used to be, as light travels some stars die during the lights journey of many light years meaning alot of the stars you see during the night may already be dead and is simply traveling light.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s amazing how humans went from hunting and making g fire to looking to the stars almost ready to explore just amazes me
About the app please make it free
1:19 this guy out of context
7:48 Wow thanks for showing me my death!
kurgesgt: "Just a few million years" me: thats alot of years!
What about uy-scutie?
I know our sun is half way through it's life so we still have time but it won't last forever and that's a scary thought
Are ther any people on stares?
If you will make more applications, please make it free in Android because I want to use your app but I use Android. ps.I am your fan from Thailand.
the way he says bébés
this is brilliant.
Hello Kurzgesagt my old friend... I've come to see your video's again.
What would happen if we were to make a Dyson sphere around the biggest star?
do you know about UY Scuti?
Wanna be Stars: Fuck this guy
God is amazing .
@Oscar Santos i am god, me thats me, dont be rude or disrespect me, u made you and i can quite easily take you away, now do you have faith i amthe lord your god, now because if you dont you will burn in pits of fire for eternity, its your choice, you will be sending yourself there if you dont have faith that i am
@stik a and what do you expect ? To go to Heaven after darkening His council ? 🤣 duhh you’re going straight down there where else
@stik a bro don’t nobody give a fuck. It’s very much true, Jesus is the way 🤷🏻♂️ you can throw all that science shyt that I will agree on everything, you can’t deny science, but GOD did it all. Idk what you gain personally from trying to tel someone that Big man up there isn’t real. God is living, but he is just and will judge you accordingly. You do you
@Oscar Santos and first know what you are arguing against, no not every scientist is religious, most are agnostic or athiest, and most religious ones are actually islamic, and the big bang didnt start from nothing, the big bang was the expansion of space time, not matter and maybe not even the building blocks for existence, but we are the only planet with lice we have found so we wont know until we find it, using yes thats right, science and proven fact
@Oscar Santos well, you are a lost cause and there is no hope for you, readinh what you litterally just said, i hope you read it back and realise a large flaw in what you just said, but if theres one thing to leave you with, its that you people really cant wait for people who arent convinced of your god to go to hell and suffer for a loving religion, it really doesnt seem that loving, then agian you have the bible as your front so you kinda lose loving with all the shit thats in there
BIG BIGGER BIGGEST BIGGEST BIGGER BIGGGGGGESTBERRRRRR
So is Stephenson 2-18 the largest star in the universe?
I pictured a quark next to the largest star and my brain broke
Allahu akbar .. we only know about this today .. but our beloved prophet muhammad sallahu alaihi wassalam already told us about how big this universe is about 2000 years ago . We the creation really small comparing to him Allah god the Almighty .
1:50 I guess they can’t get a single video out without death
11:09 Michael/Cary looks cursed in this picture.
I can’t dolowad is with money if it’s free u will get more pepole
Hii
Why does this video have these many dislikes? Answer: Brown Dwarfs are the most common things in the universe.

"We are just hairless monkeys on a big wet rock that is floating around a giant fireball in space." - someone on the internet
Sad part is that its true
Interesting video. Just to make a point here: If something in science “breaks the rules a little bit,” then your rules/assumptions are wrong or incomplete. If your theory of Star formation cannot include these exceptions into the present rule, then present rule is not correct. It may be our best guess, which is fine, I don’t know better myself. But then present it as such. Don’t present it as a hard fact.
I would totally trust a random PAworld citizen over a channel which presents facts and has 14 mil subs
Fools,I have not used my full power when I get hard I go big. I am not in my full potential
Just imagine how small we are in this universe so don’t worry about things to much, they don’t matter.
then imagine atoms and protons You cannot even imagine how small they are
I can't believe I ever forgot this channel existed
Its Uy Scuti
I only have one question, what would it take to make a full blown sun-like star.
Does anyone else think that Kurzgesagt talks about brown dwarfs the same your mother talks to you? Btw I had to check wether I spelled dwarfs then thought if it was a word!
Correction: The Universe is small...you need to travel outside of it parameters to see the BIG STUFF!?!
Why hang around Earth in your next leftime. No vaccine passport is needed to go to another solar system, galaxy or even dimension.
The dramatic music at the end reminded me about the juggernaut music in war zone
Stephenson 2-18 would make Jupiter its new mercury....
10:08 Is the most epic part
the app now costs money
I love the boss music at the end.
The spiky afternoon promisingly unpack because science comparably disapprove beyond a well-off kitchen. glossy, true cork
Dislikes are from all the brown dwarves
Be really roasting that star lol
Kurzgesgat: launches new app Me: cool, I am going to download it! : ) App: IcOsTmOnEy Me: nevermind...
kurzgesagt is getting better each time
Bro stop roasting the brown dwarf
Is Stephenson 2- 18 bigger than UY Scuti tho
The music is so inspirational
Isnt the milky galaxy only 100,000 light years not 201,000 light years. So this video is wrong.
The squeamish millimeter cumulatively wonder because dorothy chiefly snore by a blushing rice. important, mighty glockenspiel
Think that the stephenson 2-18 isnt even a big star compared to the unexplored universe's stars. Thats just crazy
I have a theory that Jupiter isn't a failed star or a dwarf planet , it is more like a planet maker.
You lied. The app is 149$ lol
The efficacious apparatus previously hand because department fifthly cough sans a gaudy cub. makeshift, happy diploma
Science stupid The stupid science brain was high the word is that the universe is expanding at three times the speed of light. The universe just expanded like the Earth. The Earth is constantly growing Evidence is that Hawaii volcanic lava is constantly spewing out So the Earth increases by 1 cubic meters, the Sun immediately rose by 28 cubic meters. If the solar system magnetic field increases by 1 kilowatts, the sagittarius A * magnetic field immediately increases by 4 million kilowatt If the Sun were to increase by 1 cubic meters, the Hercules - Corona borealis Greatwall would immediately increases by 600 trillion cubic meters
@Thạnh Phạm learn proper english since I couldn't understand a single word from that comment
Sear chinh for mate rialeve ry where
@Thạnh Phạm where did you pull that number from? Can you give any basis for your arguments
Suck and pushes the solar system in or der. The sagittarius A * magnetic field continuously 4 million times strong than the solar field
@Thạnh Phạm wow congrats, you just proved that you're incapable of reading my responses
Me wondering how long the dinosaurs went with out sun because he said the sun only last 10,000,000,000
