In this video I learned you can measure density in units of water fowl.

Can @kurzgesagt make a video about how humans became a quite queer specie and if it's common in the animal kingdom?

Hey, Kurz, can you do a video about ring worlds? I’ve been playing Halo:CE as if recently and I’ve heard that it’s a possible thing in the future.

what if the earth turned to Glass

Thenks

i have a question regarding this.....in the 2nd case when midas touches the duck it turns to a gold duck through the process of rearrangement of protons, neutrons, electrons to form gold atoms...how can you be so sure that after turning into gold the duck will retain its structure...what i mean to say is if the rearrangement of protons, neutrons, electrons happen then its not necessary that the duck after turning into gold will still look like the duck when it was alive, the shape may not be retained, it may look like a cube made of gold or a rock made of gold or anything else made of gold but not necessarily a duck made of gold because the arrangement of atoms will change. i do get why there are gaps but even after the gaps it looks like a duck as per your video, although it is not necessary that it will still look like a duck after the rearrangement of protons, neutrons, electrons has happened. Same thing applies to earth as the earth may not retain the shape of earth after turning to gold as the arrangement of protons, neutrons, electrons changes and forms gold atoms it is not necessary that the earth will look like earth, it may look like a paraboloid made of gold or any other shape but not necessarily the same shape as before being turned into gold by midas. i think you guys might have gone wrong in this particular case. if not then pls explain why?

This is the definition of greatness A bunch of well funded idiot geniuses making ridiculous videos

He can have a duck then pick it up and throw it really fast to use it as a granade

How about the opposite - turn the world to beryllium.

What about francium

So if he "master bates" does it turn into gold?

Midas is literally that one character from marvel that turns anything they touch into a bomb

Gold is the most dangerous thing on earth

Midas : *Tries to rub one out * Midas : The risk i took was calculated , but man , am i bad at math .

Minä from Noita is having a bad time rn.

Why is midas so funny? Because all of his jokes are... COMEDY GOLD! Ill go now.

midas touches the earth and now chaos

THE GUY FROM FORTNITE!!

take some gold ingots so you can never forget this moment before you get to your doom

This is what I learnt Gold is cursed

Que buenos videos

at least we'll get payed more than minimum wage

What if all people sing together? In synchronize way??

Aliens in 2029 be like: look guys! A water planet fully make out of gold!

Am I the only one waiting for their new calendar? It got out of stock so quickly last year

Midas : touches the screen the story teller before telling the whole story : pls don’t touch THAT

Answer: Everyone dies

Mi-das a good idea

I want a Kurzgesagt song

I learnt that you give me anxiety.

I learned that Midas should wear gloves from now on.

How to do a get pin

I've learned that gold is about 20 times denser than s duck

Why

Moon-o-Midas

subtautica be like 7:23

Third scenario, despite the quadrupling of pressure, the boiling point of pure water will be less than the mentioned 150°C temperature. Now the ocean water will obviously have a higher boiling point. But still won't the oceans start to evaporate till the atmosphere is like saturated with vapors, considering it won't be able to escape due to immense earths gravity. I am not sure how drastic will the evaporation be, but shouldn't it expose some golden lands 😅 I could be wrong or might have missed some important factor.

This was a great video! I enjoyed it! Thank you for making it. Also I learned a valuable lesson witch was to make my roof 3 times stronger. 😉👍🙂

V.

This is going to help me make more interesting, mind-boggling stories as a writer, so thank you. The Midas Legend never considered such a crucial detail lol

Love the description of magic, makes it sounds like irl cheats

0:11 unsolicited dicpics be like

6:15 **Abrupt chaos happening** Bird: hello there

Nether pigs: allow us to introduce ourself

what if midas folds his arms? what if, OH I DONT KNOW, HIS SKIN SLIGHTLY BRUSHES AGAINST ITSELF?

if you learned anything from this video... let us know what it was. hahaha😂

I’ve learned something. I’ve learned that magic is cursed and fairies are evil

I actually kind of prefer these weird but fun nonsense theories to the usual content in a way. Splattering into gold somehow sounds a lot less scary than socioeconomic inequalities and inevitable war.

Omg

If you posted it on twitter, then serious people that are all over simple things isn’t new lol

Turning dust to gold, hardcore Comin through Comin through Comin through now

What i learned was *Thank god Midas doesn’t exist*

When you kill everyone by turning the Earth into gold: " *WHOOPS* "

Eu amo saber que esses vídeos simplesmente INCRÍVEIS tem legenda em Potuguês Br

Hello hello.... 🖖 ... ........𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙚 3𝘿......yes ✔

6yo me wanted earth to be gold O_O

POV: midas touch u

Turning the world into gold is exactly what Max's doomsday weapon does.

Piglins?

The lesson here is that pre-scientific storytellers rarely stopped to think about the implications of the powers they were giving their characters.

> rarely ... you mean they did at _all?_ :V

3:10 is my dreams

Moral of the story: King Midas should wear gloves.

we'll be rich for days, a little leaf for £1m crazy right?

YOUV’E COME WITH A TERRIBLE FATE HAVEN’T YOU!?!

The lesson learned: Don't let kids ask Kurzgesagt "What if" questions... if they don't want to pay for psychotherapy for the rest of their life ;)

Piglins: Gimmy that damn earth baby for a soul block

the music on the secon one is just perfect for the cenario

goldpacalypse

you forgot to mention about the moon will stop following the earth 4:48

Noita players be like

so it's like changing from 12000 dpi to 400 dpi got it

Great video

this is what i learned: DONT TURN THE EARTH TO GOLD IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

Look at this thing, its really big. -- Kurzgesagt 2021

1:33 makes me unable to stop laughing :D

I learned that everything can kill humans

lol its like dr stone or should i say dr kinro

Whats with you and ducks?!

a little bit violent there buddy

can you do steel or iron planets next

"The most important science stuff" Riiight...

let me tell that i clicked this video to study english. and i exactly got 60 new words to make sentences and study more.

Please make a video of this: How do muscles work? Why should you stay hydrated? What do bees do exactly? How do cows form milk in their bodies? How do blind people not see even though they have eyes? What are eyebrows for? Please make videos about them! I’m curious about everything!

@John Richardson Thank you for answering some of the questions! :>

My initial response to this comment was: "Muscles, that's a good one. Hydration, I already know some things about that, but it would be interesting." *Pirates of the Caribbean 2 flashback* "Gentlemen, what do bees do?" "An explanation of how mammary glands work could be interesting. Blind people don't see because their brains can't process the information sent from their eyes. Eyebrows prevent sweat from getting in the eyes, I wonder what else they do." Yes! Make videos!

I'm so glad someone added this as a mod to Stellaris, it's my favourite way to destroy worlds

Would earth become a star

Why did I legit get kinda nervous of this actually happening? I was like “oh no what am I gonna do?!”

Ikr, I kinda felt the same. At first, when it was the second possible way for the earth, I was like... oh. Okay that's not so bad, with it just being denser. But then when all birds began to fall down and that we'd too would splash I was like: Oh fuck, shit, that's not good. Shiiiit.

These are the real questions

That one kid when he hears about King Midas: Wait! Is that the guy from Fortnite?

0:42 OMG IT THE GUY FROM FORTNITE

wth is fortnite?

Moral of the stort: Don't trip Midas

I love this channel

People were made about the post, not no one has ever pointed out their map of the earth is very inaccurate. South America is 8 times bigger then Greenland

Then a gram of soil will be the rarest material on earth.

"hey ferb i know what we're gonna do today"

3:43 I think this birds eye view is possibly the best animation you have ever done

amazing

Please add DHL delivery option in your store so I can shop your beautiful merch :) UPS has failed me a couple of times

Nice vid, love to see crazy way apocalypse hapened shirts

2:55 if the earth gets contracted then why it won't get covered with water similarly as the third case in the video?

So if you get a block of gold will it explode?

Wouldn’t flying things actually fly better, when the athmosohere got denser, counteracting the effect of higher gravity?

Now I have more fun facts to tell my teacher when I'm bored, thanks

Innocent me clicking on this video: Gee I wonder how humans will farm when the planet is made out of gold.

You learn that you shoudn't turn the Earth into gold
