Kurz Gesagt

team. We've shared a bunch of their videos on the past about

the Big Bang

,

the Solar System

, and

neutron stars

.

This video tackles the infuriating question: if the Universe is enormous, and ancient, and there seem to be planets capable of supporting life everywhere... where are all the aliens?

After you've watched this video, go to their channel and go down the rabbit hole and

watch all their videos

.
