Hey man look. What I didn't need this evening was an existential crisis...
The toothsome clarinet clinicopathologically dam because detective universally cough besides a festive reduction. reflective, deadpan surname
Great work as always, Michael! Thanks!
*NOOO.... IF I WATCH TOO MUCH VSAUCE I MIGHT BECOME A NERD* *HELP ME UNDO THIS*
This video needs 2 like buttons
Imagine walking in the woods and then you hear "Hey Vsauce, Michael here, how fast can you run?".
Illusions of time Memes that were relevant for a week a while ago are best sustained in your memory but memes that were relevant for a long time but died recently fell like a blip
"If I asked you to get up after 10 years had passed ... that'd be hard." Yes ... yes it would.
Has this video really been out for a week?
It's not fair vsauce, your dad still had hair!
6:40
27:31 sus?
And as always... mind blowing
3:15 another way to think about this is when you feel pain, its bad. But then later, in retrospect it dosent seem that bad
Кто от маразма?
This is the most elaborate way someone told me to get off my phone and live a little
Madlad finally comes back to life.
DEEP THINKING IS MY BAG, MORE PLEASE
the ending gave me anxiety
Doing the sneako thing
Michael is the Plato of the Internet
IM NOT EVEN LYING I SAID 2 MINUTES 29 SECONDS LIKE AFTER U SAID THE THING ABIUT HOW LONG BEEN WATCHING
Have you seen baki they made a version of you in the show
meeting in laws is feels like long/long
Anyone else watching this in 2025?
how many new concepts are being coined here?
Man, It seemed this video is recommended to me for months. But It was upload a week ago
Can we just appreciate that this guy cut and regrew his beard for a youtube video?
Inshallah imam V'saouz
youre best video so far !!! but why the music score ? youre voice is enough !!!
Vsause’s birthday tomorrow
2:20 lmao, i thought it was 11 minutes
Time is monster that will swallow everything...and time is what creates mind and the this illusory world referred to as " Maya " in ancient Hinduism and Buddhism . nd this is the only illusion that separates ordinary human frm their enlightened self.
Anyone watching in 2076?
I feel like I should watch this every day
Calm down with the uploads Michael, it's only been 5 months.
"When you realized the future you is spying on you through memories" - A meme.
This man starts on the floor and then comes up to start talking lmao
its been many years and he still calls me vsauce, help...
This Video will fuck me Up i can Feel it
the human mind is fallible, keep a journal.
Time is relative. Who decided that 1 minutes is 60 seconds, and so on. It might be 80 second in another clock. The measurement criteria is our own. Contrary to other forces in universe Time can't be felt. It just passed by but we don't know it. Also, I don't believe that if someone travels to intergalactic space or near blackholes and come back will he be in different age he would have been otherwise. If he is in other age then it clearly violates laws of nature as similar like time travel. If time travel is possible then it might be possible that for someone time is moving slowly and faster for others which again violates laws of nature. Time is the most important and strongest force in universe. Because if you have been able to modify time or move backwards then you can undo, yet it can't be physically felt. Does time means smallest frame of unit of motion passing by. Time does require lots of research as it's necessary.
Great video dude
I have been thinking Vsauce hasn't upload as frequent but now I wonder is it me just getting older.
We missed you, buddy❤
As I watched this on my iPad , and iPad 4, I realized that I bought this thing in 2013, and it feels like 3 or 4 years ago....
My mother gave birth to me when she was 20 years old. When I turned 20 I realized that I was then half as old as my mother. I then pondered whether or not that means that as we grew older, the time-span between us -in a mathematical sense - becomes smaller and smaller. So if we could life for a very very long time, our age gap would close down to zero years without ever reaching zero. I'm not sure if I was just thinking nonsense or if this actually makes sense, and if there is a term for it. I never gave much attention during math-class.
The way he curls his lips at 2:00 really portrays a sense of “buckle up, buster, you’re in for a mindfuck”
So, he took a beard so that he could shave his beard and grow it again?
HE'S HERE AAAAAAA
Damn bro, you look 30 years younger when you don't have beard
How can I buy your shirt/sweater?
That time thing seems kinda wack
The people of 2000-2100 will remember us the same way we remember 1900-1999
god i missed having experiencing existential horror to your videos mr michael vsauce
yo when he said guess how long the video has been goin i said about 2:30 then checked n it was exactly 2:30, mad
Does anyone else see that Vsauce seems to speed up the video? For me it's more evident when he reads off from the book at 22:35 and 23:56. Notice the post notes and how they move. Would be cool to get a confirmation on that
Vsauce is better than my teacher at school bruh
you can tell he’s just such a nice guy 2 be around
I missed you Michael
Micheal : vsauce Michael here Everyone: ah there he goes again
4:21 Oh hey it's BEAKMAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN *cue theme song*
Non bearded Micheal looks like voldemort with normal skin and a longer nose and with glasses
Just look at his videos from 10 years ago
Epic
Felt like 6 minutes when the video was at 2 minutes oof
Why we create paradox’s to solve is beyond me. Lol
He lookin older wth
Anyone had a count on the no. of sweaters he wore/changed throughout the video?
*When Michael dies* "Hey God , Michael Here"
Me at 12:AM :Just one more video Me at 3:AM :
I feel like your head should be bigger with every video.
Now I know why Michael took so long to upload. He was waiting for his beard to come back.
This should be a part of the packaged answer of "meaning of life"
Leaving a comment here for my baby to see in the future
Good thing we didn't got to see a beardless Michael for 30min, that would be unsettling lol
Who else randomly found the v sauce meme and is now watching him regularly?
My brother, 15 years old: its too complicated Me, 10 years old: yes
Best video on KGup.
We live in a twilight world
now im scared of time thanks
happy birthday
thanks
Someone help please. 20:50 - what tune is playing? It's killing me
Hey Michael vsauce here
What's your reason behind coming from bottom on every scene?
Bungee gumm possesses the properties of both rubber and gum..
AWESOME MICHAEL. IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK 🔙 OR HERE IN NOW? LOL
Guessed 2:30. I feel latently superpowered.
Started watching a week ago. Continuing from 0:43 at 6:40 am.
This being a long video actually feels longer than i expected... Feels more like an half an hour 11minutes into the video. Really shows how true Michael was talking about
Deep. Heavy. 🤯
10 years in a room? Easy! Just wait until you ate about 10.956 meals (assuming you'll eat 3 meals a day).
I have KGup premium and never watched his series you can watch with it, honestly I just want Michael in front of the cam like this. This is gold. Please keep doing that as well Michael, this is so good. Brings me back to 2011-2012...
The starting of this video took the time to make this
You look like Ian from Alvin and the chipmunks
This is how many times Michael helped us all fall asleep | V
Forget about the perception of time, one of the most subjective measurements is charisma. Like, I get that Mike here has a billion subs and a trillion views, but all I want is a tl;dr of this vid starring an actor or journalist, preferably not filmed in a tight closeup, like he's trying to invade my private space. Biggest mistake the youtube generation made is encourage intellectuals think they're charismatic as much as make appealing or funny people think they're opinion is somehow important. tl;dr is On the internet everybody forgets that IQ, charisma and sense of humour are not interchangeable
Dont Forget 10 Years Ago When Mario Farted!
LOL he looks like Phil Collins hhahahaa!!!
