PickVidsBest Cosmology & astrophysics Videos
「Cosmology & astrophysics」下面有108部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门10部，适合还没学过的人；进阶8部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向88部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的2部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是讲解，所以它们的共同点是用一个图像或类比把一个概念补上。常出现的频道包括PBS Space Time、Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell、Isaac Arthur。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Cosmology and astrophysics: black holes, dark matter, dark energy, Big Bang, galaxies, stars, gravitational waves, exoplanets, the observable universe, Sabine Hossenfelder, Kurzgesagt.如果只看三部，就从《TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time (4K)》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《The Solar Gravitational Lens will Map Exoplanets. Seriously.》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《Powers of Ten™ (1977)》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
