History of the Universe

There seem to be countless A.I. slop clones of History of the Universe on YouTube now.

Two/three hours long, with structureless AI scripts, AI editing and visuals, and creepy sounding AI impressions of my voice, or the voice of ‪@astrumspace‬ or ‪@SEA‬. These channels seem able to pump out hours of content almost every day. In the past we have even caught these channels lifting scripts wholesale from our videos.

This is your yearly reminder that I am real - I narrate and produce the videos on History of the Universe - and it takes me ages in a recording booth.

History of the Universe is animated and edited by the incredible ‪@ArtandContext‬ and Siji Sheehan, and our thumbnails are created by the genius human artist Ettore Mazza.

The scripts are written by professional physicists: ‪@PaulMSutter‬, ‪@ColinStuartspace‬, ‪@AlasLewisAndBarnes‬ and others - who craft them with their imagination and vast knowledge of the subject from years of studying and teaching.

Every moment and beat of the story is crafted with care and purpose by a human.

These are human documentaries made by and for humans.

Now and forever.

Hello - so sorry for the extended delay! The video is complete and ready to go, and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

Luckily it isnt holding up the general creation process for other upcoming vids, so the schedule continues as normal.

(In the meantime here is a photo of Richard Feynman playing bongos)

History of the Universe

Little hiccup - video delayed for reasons beyond our control for a day or two! All ready to go though - and it covers roughly 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 76 years so is hopefully worth the wait. Here is an image of Einstein at the beach to tide you over. In some kind of lovely dressing gown.

In the meantime perhaps take the opportunity to catch up on a video you may have missed - there is a recent one that is about 3 and a half hours long which you can snack on while waiting!

There are also new videos over on History of Humankind and Voices of the Past too you can check out.

Shouldn't be long now!
