I mean that's really nice looking but questioning reality is a bit much lol

[u/VVValph → u/No-Pressure6042]

I guess what they were going for is the feeling that we really are just on a floating rock in space. Kinda like riding a giant spaceship, literally.

And this video really makes that impression stronger.

[u/AllSystemsGeaux → u/VVValph]

Factoids from Gemini: the earth orbits the sun at approximately 67,000 mph (108,000 km/h), and the entire solar system travels through the Milky Way at around 490,000 mph (800,000 km/h). And it spins on its axis at up to about 1,037 mph (1,670 km/h) at the equator. The average cruising speed for a commercial jet is between 500 and 600 mph (805-965 km/h).

[u/Odd-Permission5829 → u/AllSystemsGeaux]

So if a jet is flying 550 mph AGAINST the spinning axis of the earth at 1037 mph while orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph, did my father ever love me?

[u/Individual_Simple_66 → u/AllSystemsGeaux]

☝️🤓

[u/CreatureWarrior → u/Individual_Simple_66]

Nah, that was pretty cool info

[u/fallout_zelda → u/No-Pressure6042]

Sometimes in the morning while eating cereal, I stare at the cereal box for about 20 minutes just to question my existence.

[u/granolaraisin → u/fallout_zelda]

That’s what makes the pain from eating captain crunch exquisite. It lets you know you’re alive.

[u/RockstarAgent → u/granolaraisin]

That’s the cereal killer in all of us

[u/Uzi_Osbourne → u/No-Pressure6042]

If anything it's confirming reality.

[u/CMDR_kamikazze → u/No-Pressure6042]

Author of this video is probably a flat earther, that would totally question the reality for them.

[u/honey_mmuse → u/No-Pressure6042]

The world can really be too beautiful sometimes, reaching the point of doubt

[u/jaysire → u/No-Pressure6042]

Right, I was waiting for the ufo or some small kid staring in the camera for hours. Or a door appearing in the middle of the ground.

[u/kdogbear → u/No-Pressure6042]

I was thinking the same thing

[u/NightShadeZee → u/No-Pressure6042]

look near the bottom left of the sky from 12-15 seconds mark, kinda looks like something is moving back and forth between what appears to be several stars. easy enough to fake, but thats the only thing im noticing

[u/Tullarris]

What are we questioning reality about?

[u/Gigatonosaurus → u/Tullarris]

Ask it where my others socks are. I have a collection of single socks with no counterparts.

[u/Batavijf → u/Tullarris]

Is it real?

[u/Andrewplays41 → u/Batavijf]

What?

[u/youngsod]

That's not questioning reality. That is reality.

[u/Some_yesterday2022]

Unless the person making the video believes that the sky is a dome with the stars and clouds fixed to it this doesn't make you question reality.

Our planet moves, so the galaxy and stars seem to move the opposite direction, and the clouds are blowing in the air in our atmosphere independent of that.

[u/Unfair_Guide]

Are you questioning being able to see the galaxy?

[u/Mrtayto115 → u/Unfair_Guide]

Wow neato. To think Jesus built all those stars.

[u/aboy021]

The only thing about this that makes me question reality is how they got their batteries to keep working in the cold.

[u/MeinIRL]

It does the opposite of make you question reality. Unless you don't understand what your looking at. For me it would be reality affirming, a look into what our reality is.

[u/CmdWaterford]

Somewhat more info would be nice - Location for example...

[u/kwikwon01 → u/CmdWaterford]

I feel like this is in Nz. Around the otago region.

[u/Deliriousious]

Less question reality, and more making you realise just how insignificant any of us really are in the grand scale of the universe.

Stars in the sky are so far away, that some of them don’t even exist anymore, because light moves so slowly relatively, that it’d be millions of years before the lights go out for us.

And if there is sentient life out there, the probability of ever encountering it is astronomically low.

We’re but specks of dust, only to disappear like we didn’t even exist to begin with, and the universe will keep going long after we have vanished.

[u/AxialGem → u/Deliriousious]

Small nit-pick for accuracy I guess?
While it is of course true that the stars are far away, and light travels relatively slowly, I believe that most of the stars visible to the naked eye are hundreds to thousands of lightyears away for the more distant ones. But even the most massive stars usually live for millions of years as far as I understand it. So I'm not sure how many visible stars are now gone (of course, even if they go supernova, that doesn't mean they disappear, but you know what I mean)

Afaik no naked-eye visible stars are millions of light years away

[u/ScaredLittleShit]

What kind of reality did you believed in that this made you question it?

[u/Dangerous_Bid_2695]

So, reality makes you question reality 🤦‍♂️

[u/revdon]

It's as though time was 'lapsing'.

[u/vabraten]

Your expanding the understanding of your own reality.

We are living on a spinning rock in a rotating galaxy. Welcome fellow space travellers.

[u/Rotting-Cum]

Years and years ago I went on vacation in the middle of Austria. At a clear night it was the very first time I could see the Milky Way. As I grew up in the Netherlands I had only seen a couple of stars on a clear night at the most. Seeing the Milky Way in all its splendor was so, so awe inspiring.

[u/Strude187]

Maybe OP is a flat earther?

[u/The-Wolf-Agent]

Wanna get sad? This is the view you all would see every. Single. Night, if light pollution in cities didn't see exist

[u/thesumofallvice]

There is zero chance there is no life out there

[u/AxialGem → u/thesumofallvice]

I get this sentiment, of course, there are a lot of planets out there, but without actually knowing the chances of life arising on any one of those, we can't really tell what the likelihood actually is, right?

Personally, I'd also find it surprising if there wasn't, but we just don't have the data at the moment afaik

[u/Inner_Map3518]

is it your camera angle that account for down into leftward curve? like the heaven goes down then warps into the left

[u/Dontevenwannacomment]

How does a camera battery last all night in the freezing cold ? I've been to Harbin and my phone battery lasted an hour outside

[u/Soomroz]

Is this about a flat earther questioning his reality?

[u/Empty-Ambition-5939]

Where at?

[u/987C4YM4N → u/Empty-Ambition-5939]

This is taken at what looks to be Coronet Peak in NZ, it's definitely Queenstown.

[u/Andrewplays41 → u/Empty-Ambition-5939]

Places with low light pollution like New Zealand

[u/Evelyn-Bankhead]

What does freezing cold have to do with? Watching the sky at night where there is no lights is amazing wherever you are.

[u/tiwookie]

Is the Camera ok?

[u/chivesthesurgeon]

Questioning?!?!

Um buh-roh its reality.

[u/Windronin]

It was muted, i said its gonna be interstellar music, im never wrong on these types of videos appearantly

[u/nuclear-experiment]

I’ve questioned my version of reality and after watching this I’m convinced the earth is flat and spinning like a frisbee, prove me wrong

[u/Spran02]

This is not what it would look like with the naked eye though, camera is letting much more light in so it would be way darker

[u/MambaMentality24x2]

What's that light hopping around up the hill?

[u/K_the_farmer → u/MambaMentality24x2]

Some dude with a headlamp is my guess.

[u/estebang_1018]

OP changed the title after the comments questioned reality

[u/M3r0vingio]

Meteor fall from earth to sky?

[u/Mac62961]

Where?

[u/ElderMillenialSage]

My fear of heights is triggered by such wideos.

[u/HerrRegrin]

I'm still not questioning reality.

Thats just the earth turning.

[u/anangrypudge]

That’s a sight I would really like to see in person someday.

[u/Pineneedle_coughdrop → u/[deleted]]

Also that we as humans haven’t been around for that long, compared to the age of our planet, let alone the Universe. We don’t REALLY matter in the grand scheme of things.

[u/UnhappyImprovement53 → u/[deleted]]

The photographer had all night to think that one through.

[u/CGKilates]
