      Well… Surely, when you made the last question, no one would imagine that this year would be the year of a virus! Saddly indeed… How a so tiny protein can put this so scientific and civilized world on to its knees. Nevertheless, congrats for your presentation on black holes! Very clear and intriguing at the same time!! Regards from Chile!! 😊😊

    Love your videos but you should just have pictures/video of the subjects of the narration. Video of the narrator while narrating is unnecessary, distracting and irritating.
