I think its pretty funny that this is presented as a comprehensive longplay about black holes and the first thing Matt-from-10-years-ago does is give you a prerequisite

I’ve been watching you guys regularly since the days of Gabe. The first video in this longplay was a serious throwback. I started watching you guys when I was a mid-20s undergrad in physics and now I’m watching you with my students as mid-30s high school math and physics teacher. You guys have grown so much and I love seeing how successful this channel has become. Cheers from Iowa.

Condensing 10 years into 90 minutes sounds like black hole behavior to me 🧐 Also woo 10 years of PBS Space Time!

Thanks Matt for doing these videos. I’ve been listening to you for many many years. Through Uni, different jobs, different relationships, but coming to these videos at night has given me comfort. I know you can’t do it for ever so for now, know that it is appreciated.

Video also does a great job of demonstrating time dilation - 90 minutes for us ages Matt a decade!

"Varying degrees of maybe" is such a wonderfully poignant way to describe quantum properties. Also a killer title for a prog metal album.
