I’ve had a hard time sleeping for years. Between suffering from PTSD for almost 20 years since my deployments to war, also getting sober in 2016 after an overdose, and throw in your common daily stresses & anxieties, let’s just say it’s been difficult to get a good nights sleep…. I’ve tried all sorts of remedies to no avail… UNTIL I found your channel (being a big lover of astronomy, astrophysics & cosmology etc..). It’s completely changed my life (sounds hyperbolic to some I get it), but every night your videos put me at ease and eventually to sleep, good sleep too. I’ve watched/listened to all of them multiple times. I want to thank you for what you do. You’re not just educators, but so much more.

After 4 years of hard work next week I'll graduate in environmental engineering and I wanna say that it's also thanks to you. You gifted me with nights of deep sleep when the stress of studying overwhelmed me. Thanks for all you do and shout-out to this whole community :)

I'm in constant fear that each release will be the last. This series is so bloody good.

The GOAT of narrators and Oxfordian english in general: David Kelly Thank you sir, for teaching a young aspiring generation about the marvels of the kosmos in such an eloquent way.

It is both amazing and humbling to know that "old age" eventually catches up with everything, including galaxies and the myriad stars that make them up. Another outstanding video with top notch production values, thank you. I wish I had access to content like this 40 years ago when I was star gazing with my dad on a rural 165 acre cattle farm under a dark, night sky!

Simply the best videos on the universe. Nothing pushed down your throat. A wonderful narrator who is only asking you to think, see, and wonder. Very well done.

"....while most Stars are enjoying their best life..." Such a simple, yet really quite relatable description of these unfathomably innumerous entities that require us to engage before potentially "zoning out" looking at pretty pictures. You content is virtually peerless, and I like to think it is less comparable to other channels, rather more an original place that thankfully makes what is usually ivory tower surrounded hard physics. You literally bring it all down to earth for the likes of me. Thanks.

This is a beautifully told story. It helps provide a bit of understanding about why someone might desire to spend a significant part of their career in science trying to unravel the mystery surrounding these earliest stars.

Whoop! I just hit the duvet as this landed. Best bedtime stories ever ❤❤❤

This channel is going to be the greatest educational portal on YouTube. Do not stop the hustle you guys.. ❤ from India

It’s all in the narration …. Perfect !

This Show Helps People Deal With Crippling Anxiety and Depression. Keep Them Coming. ❤️

Glad to see this channel doing well and hope to see it grow. Some of the best quality documentaries with excellent writing and editing. Thanks for all the hard work.

So many audiences already said almost everything I wish to say! Although I, as a layman, have no point to add, I would like to express my profound gratitude and appreciation to the producers of this wonderful program! "History of the Universe" is one of YouTube's BEST science educational programs. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤

I just can't get enough of this channel!... Sterling work as always. Thank you 👍

This channel is one of a kind, keep the pristine work, and shout out to the narrator who does an incredible work

I feel so lucky I can watch these videos every night to relax and unwind. I remember in the early 2000s every now and then the science channel would play a full day of universe stuff and it was the coolest thing ever. Now it's amazing to have that anytime I want.❤

I was waiting for this!! Thank you for all the hard work every time you put in the video's! Your voice is so calming!❤ You have the one of the best channels out here about astronomy.
