I get what you're saying, but in my opinion, while the video is indeed not perfect from a strict scientific point of view, it's still accurate enough, and sometimes I think it's necessary to sacrifice a bit of accuracy to make things simple and comprehensible to most.

I think the purpose of the one making the video was not to make a lesson in astrophysics, but a presentation in broad terms of what we know now in a way that's thought provoking, that it does exceptionally well IMO.

I agree that it took a few too many artistic liberties for my taste, but I'm also biased since I'm doing my PhD in the field. I've loved melodysheep since I was a teenager (our story in one minute earned my sub), and all of his videos just have the best vibes/music/visuals. I genuinely have rewatched this video 10+ times in the last few years because of how it makes me feel, even if I have to turn my brain off a little. I hope it's just as nice for other people, and it seems it is

as I said, I watched it to the end :) it's not bad.
