Kurzgesagt is best known for their {{Edutainment}} series, ''In a Nutshell'', in which they use animation, minimalist design, and narration to discuss scientific, historical, political, psychological, and cultural matters. The videos are presented from a position of [[TheAntiNihilist"optimistic nihilism]] (as [[InsistentTerminology they call it]]), that we are alone and ultimately insignificant in the cosmos, but that should not be the source of existential dread; rather, it frees us to determine our own purpose.

During its final zoom-out, at one point the largest star in the previous video, Stephenson 2-18, appears... only to shrink more and more, until it appears as a tiny dot compared to the (then) largest known black hole, TON-618.
