YMMV / Symphony of Science

• Adaptation Displacement: Look up any line featured in Symphony of Science. Chances are the top results will be links to the video series, with the original material buried further down.
• Cry for the Devil: Even with all of the horror black holes are played up with in most of the places they appear, it's hard not to feel bad for the last Supermassive Black Hole as it explodes, releases the last of its mass-energy and slowly dies, erasing the last evidence that the universe ever existed with its final gasp.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • The ending to this version of "The World of the Dinosaurs", which has the refrain play one last time over the image of a bird, reminding the viewer that while most of them are gone, the dinosaurs live on in the birds.
  • Before the end of Future, one last Hope Spot is proposed of potentially being able to escape, and life potentially being able to go on in the form of the universes themselves, evolving and reproducing through intelligent life creating Pocket Dimensions. It's a much-needed reminder that something, somewhere, could still be happening After the End after all.
  • Taken as a whole, "Children of Planet Earth" produces a touching statement about human curiosity and persistence using different snippets of human speech from various languages, e.g. "Greetings to our friends in the stars... may time bring us together". (spoken in Arabic).
• Narm: "Now we're talking about timescales of unimaginable length. Quadrillions of years into the future!"...he says while novemdecillions (10⁶⁰) of years pass. The quadrillions (10¹⁵) were twelve minutes ago.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • "Monsters of the Cosmos" turns black holes into these.
  • "Timelapse of the Future" as a whole, going by the description below. The thought of such a thing inevitably happening is just as horrifying to comprehend as it is heart-breaking.
• Tear Jerker: "Timelapse of the Future". Watching the beautiful, vibrant universe we know and love, everything we've ever seen, studied, experienced and imagined, slowly dimming, dwindling, freezing and fading away after the last Supermassive Black Hole uses up its remaining energy... leaving behind only a frozen, infinite dead void where nothing happens, with heavy implications that nothing ever will happen again.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: A common reaction to Future, though the "stopped caring" in this case goes a bit farther than about the video itself.
