The problem is that if I did, no one would care about the topic by the time the video was done, and certainly not 3 months later. For example, a few months ago I got a lot of questions about the idea that our universe was born from a black hole because someone managed to get a paper published on this. Instead of talking about this in particular, on Saturday I will explain why there are so many ideas for the beginning of the universe and why this isn't going to change. The truth is, we don't know how the universe began, and it's probably going to stay that way.

Maybe in the same way that we're made of stars, but also poop, which was stars?

Wait, what? Are you saying we could be someoneβs lost information? How do we get out?! π±
The first videos I watched on the channel were a year or 2 old already by then; time passing doesn't make the videos less interesting and informative. I'd argue that a good video holds up long after the fact, as it will acknowledge that the information is either accurate, or may change as more data comes available. Cosmology is like this, I'm used to ideas being refined over years.
