Great video. I made a loose decision to pursue Astrophysics for my career, and this video just helped to reassure me on what I want to do with my life.

7:12 "12,826 million years ago" Why not just call it 12.826 BILLION years ago. It sounds much more impressive that way.

It took me a few times reading it before I realized the thousand-million multiplication. I thought the calculations were way off because the term "million years ago" is rather insignificant in cosmic time. It must be a British Queen's English thing to count numbers this way, like spelling the word 'color' with a 'u'.
