I found this to be a pretty interesting video. Informative but not too deep to lose the casual viewer.

Glad you found this one on your own. It's in my YT feed and I watch every week, normally Tuesdays.

His style is good and he keeps each episode on track with a limited topic. Plenty to watch though.

I find it interesting that he states that we really do not understand what time is that I heard before, also that the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light again I heard that before.  All in all I don't understand most of what he said but since I base the importance of the info on how it affects my every day life and would think although interesting it is not going to affect every day life much.

Other than understanding your insignificance in the cosmic scale of things, it will not affect your life one bit.

Maybe with the exception of a star blowing up close by or a big lump of rock hitting us but you can't do anything about that.

Almost a bit disheartening to think that the entire human race is insignificant in the cosmic expansion or just by us being here on this blue marble! We really don't matter at all!

I actually take heart in knowing that I am a biological being created by the universe that can contemplate my own cosmic (in)significance.
I am still the most important being I know. Others in my life may have something to say about that and they are very close seconds.
Life is a gift. Live in the present.
