IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE (Patreon)

PASSWORD: blink

When we look up at night, the universe seems pretty quiet. Not a lot going on. But that perspective is an illusion; in reality, there are millions of world-shattering events happening every instant across the cosmos. This short film explores just how much is going on every moment in our ridiculously enormous universe.

In the fraction of a second it takes to blink your eyes, thousands of stars will be born, hundreds will explode and die, millions of planets will form, and our universe will expand by half a million kilometers in diameter.

And these numbers only account for the observable universe --  not for what could be happening beyond, where some scientists believe there could be an infinite expanse of space.

Think next time you blink.

THANK YOU patrons for choosing this topic and supporting this short film!  I've spent many weeks developing new visual techniques and I think they paid off.  Your support helped me make it through this experimental phase.  I hope you find it as mind-blowing as I have.

Please note that some of the statistics in this video are wild estimations, and in some cases could be off by orders of magnitude.  For a list of sources see below.

Song and art downloads coming next week.

Special thanks to:

Franck Marchis, Avi Loeb, Juan Benet, Morrison Waud, Rowdy Jansen, & Tim Stupak

I plan to make this video public on YouTube on Feb. 9th, and will include all patrons whose rewards include credits in the video description then.

Peace and love,
