Against the stunning backdrop of the glaciers of Alaska, Brian reveals his fourth Wonder. Saturn’s moon Titan is shrouded by a murky, thick atmosphere. He reveals that below the clouds lies a magical world. Titan is the only place beyond Earth where we’ve found liquid pooling on the surface in vast lakes, as big as the Caspian Sea, but the lakes of Titan are filled with a mysterious liquid, and are quite unlike anything on Earth.

If two parallel worlds collide, that can destroys the world.
Destroys everything.
SOLARSYSTEM
GALAXIES
but is it possible, that the end of everything is the beginning of everything?
If a big bang created this world, then can a big bang destroy it and create another one?
How does that happen?
Sorry, parallel universes have not been shown to exist, and even if they could collide (which doesn’t make any sense, since they’re parallel) there’s no telling what would happen – but I haven’t seen any evidence it would destroy things. But it’s just wild speculation.
I created this animation using 3ds max 3d modeling and particle sytems.
My fascination with our universe goes way back to my childhood and I’m sure many of you out there share the same interest.
Please note that this video wasn’t intended to to compare planet/sun size but just a visual representation of the solar system where planets textures are visible for the inner and outer planets.
Part 2 of this Video is now also available.
I hope you enjoy it

(Pluto is no longer classified as a planet, but it’s there for size comparison. As for the Sun, it was never a planet but is here for the very same reason.)
I always wanted to see a one-by-one comparison of the sizes of the planets, so I put the numbers into my 3d program. These are all correct proportions (of size, not distance).
Tamen, the final planet, was a world we created when we were children. Obsessed with size, we said it was 1,000 times larger than Earth’s sun (this was actually only 100 times larger, because 1000 made the sun so small you couldn’t really see it). We later learned that such a planet would have to much gravity that not only would no living thing survive, but you may get a nice little black hole started right there in the planet!
Wow… and I just realized that had the sun have been sitting where it is in this video, it’d be sucked into the planet instantly.
