Look around you. Where are you? Where is this place you are occupying? Somewhere in a room, maybe in a city on a continent on a planet orbiting a star in a galaxy among billions. But… where is all of that? While this may feel like a daft question, it turns out that the concept of an absolute position is something humans made up.
In a nutshell, the universe is a big bag of space that has things in it. If someone removed all these things, the stars and planets and black holes and dust, there would just be empty space left. In empty space, the concept of having a position loses all meaning. Empty space is uniform, the same everywhere.

"jiggling around the sun" should be a song
BTW… was the chimp licking that toad?
This is why you cannot create Time Machine, you can't pinpoint your space coordinate even though you have time coordinate. If you inpur wrong coordinate, you would end up in empty space
So apparently we are moving about 1 332 000 kph relative to the cosmic background. Which I suppose is the closest we will get to "relative to the centre of everything"
just remember
that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
and revolving at a thousand miles an hour
it's orbiting at nineteen miles a second
so it's reckoned
a star that is the source of all our power
the sun, and you and me,
and every single star you see
are moving at twelve million miles a day
in a minor spur of stars
nestled between two spiral arms
of a galaxy we call the milky way
not gonna mention the galaxy moving? with the great attractor and all that
Here I am here I am how do you do?
As long as I think Im sitting in my chair with a cold one.. and it tastes sooo goof. Im just fine.
⭐️Topic:Animation team is praised
The sun is moving north or south?
"Someone looking at us from the outside would see something pretty messy."
Well obviously, since the planets are controlled by birds and a frog that are jumping around playing tricks.
👍
2:30 Little Prince refrence
Yo is this the central finite curve
5:26 pluto is back!!!
3:46 yo the moin kinda freaky
00:00 Nintendo 64 and playing Super Mario 64 👌
Super Mario 64!!!!!
We are multi talented
Me is Another.
The journey backwards was very comforting! 😮💨🫶
There is a type of video that a lot of people tries to do poorly with ai, but Kurzegesagt hasn´t tried it yet (as far as I can´t find it)… A video of leaving Earth, going through the solar system, identifying every body (planets, moons) and talking about the distances; then continue to do that with stars in our galaxy; then continue to do that with galaxies in our local group; the virgo supercluster; Laniakea and to the edge of the universe. Obviously… it´ll be less and less possible to "talk about every body" in space the further out we go… but it´d be cool to get a map-like overview of where our milky way is compared to Ton 618 and some of the James Webb sightings that are already famous pictures. Thanks for a great channel. I´ve watched it a long time and also used it in teaching.
3:47 excuse me?
I would lay my life for Kurzgesagt, because they are the only legit YouTube channel with content that are not just negative attention grabbing videos
This is why I've never understood the idea of ANYTHING that includes teleportation or specifically being non-corporeal momentarily.
If you blinked out of existence for a second you'd return either out in space or in the planet…. and thinking that way makes the way we normally show time travel to make no sense either. If you reappear in the same place you left…. well the planet has been circling the sun and then the sun around a super massive black hole…. how would you show up in the same place?
Day 2 of asking for a Kurzegesagt OST
mf's figured this out by looking at the sky btw
i’m at 0, 0, 0
0:24 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
What this also means that the heliocentric model of the solar system is exactly as valid as the ancient one with the Earth at the centre of the universe.
Wat would this look like if we added in travel between say Earth and Moon, Earth and Mars and start branching out further and further in the galaxy and universe?
5:56 it’s fully mapped out we didn’t need to be around that long to do math. You need to wait an hour to know a car is going 60mph
God did it all
Somebody pass me a piece of fairy cake…
I love how in a nutshell the answer to: Where is up and down in the universe? Is: Yesn’t
I watched this on acid
If we are always moving, what speed are we moving?
you litteraly doxed the humanity
.
What if I told you that the Milky Way itself that contains the Sun and the heliosphere and the ecliptic, and the Earth orbiting the Sun in a jiggly elipse, is moving?

On TV:
Super Mario 64 moment
Absolute Cinema ✋😐🤚
Kurzgesagt, thank you for always and always and always having a short intro.
Yo, the animation team is awesome, BUT (I know I’m late) but could you do topics about why we get mosquito-borne viruses?
I am in a place tht has smthn tht is abt 20x denser than a duck
2:30 the little prince i love that book
0:18 GRIS on the wall, awesome game 🙂
I'm not bad at directions i was right all along there is no direction right
