Do you love wondering about and listening to fascinating topics on cosmology, theoretical physics, and the philosophy of our existence? Perhaps, just before you go to sleep, you play videos on these topics, seeking solace in a childlike curiosity as you drift off? Questions that sit at the heart of who we are, what the universe is, and our place within it? If so, join our wizard at Wizard Wonders as we strive to explore and understand the universe, examining the most interesting questions of our existence and what the latest science suggests:

The one piece of growth advice everyone tells us is: post consistently and regularly. And perhaps, this is not wrong advice. However, posting more regularly invariably often involves posting for the sake of posting – with little thought and value behind it. There is too much of that already on social media, feed after feed of endless content that in some ways has consumed our lives beyond what is healthy. We would rather post something that is meaningful, and when you see that notification pop up, your eyes should light up with excitement, curiosity, and wonder. This makes it awfully difficult for us to grow and the reality is that small part time creators such as ours just don’t have the resources to compete. But you can help and get something in return. We have setup two ways for you to support Wizard Wonders:

a) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WizardWonders – recurring contributions which has varying levels of tiers that include early access to videos, behind the scenes content (there is so much good content that never gets published), custom voice recordings for you in our wizard’s voice, ability to vote and influence what we work on next etc.
b) Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wizardwonders – a one-time contribution for the price of a coffee(s).

100% of your support will go towards making our videos. Your generous contribution, no matter how big or small, will empower us to spend more time researching and crafting stories that spark our imagination. We have so much in store, so many stories waiting to be told and with your help we can bring more of them to life and sooner.

Some upcoming content in the pipeline include: a song about black holes (almost here!), a fictional story about Quark 137 (🐶) exploring the most powerful forces known to us, exploring the magic of light and what it really is etc. Cannot wait to share these with you, and hopefully a lot sooner with your help and support. We’re only getting started.

Thank you, from one curious soul to another,
Your Wondering Wizard🧙

Indifference + Inaction = Endorsement of Injustice 🌐💔

What does it take for us to truly step into the shoes of those suffering in Gaza? To feel the ground beneath their feet, the fear and hope in their hearts? How much longer must innocent lives endure the shadow of conflict before we, as a global community, awaken our dormant empathy?

As George Orwell eloquently stated in '1984', “If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.” Are we, by distancing ourselves from the consequences of our governments' actions, hiding the truth from our conscience? Our governments, extensions of our collective will, often play critical roles in global conflicts, sometimes supporting actions that lead to unspeakable suffering. Yet, by not speaking out, by not questioning, are we not indirectly endorsing these policies? By not raising our voice against policies that contribute to suffering, are we not perpetuating the cycle of violence? Our indifference, our reluctance to question and challenge, is a silent approval of the status quo.

Let us not absolve ourselves of responsibility, but rather embrace our power as citizens to influence change. Let us not underestimate our role. In a world interconnected as ours, every voice matters, every action counts. Together, we can shift the scales towards peace and humanity. 🕊️

🌟✨ A Belated Happy New Year from Wizard Wonders! ✨🌟

As we journey through the cosmic dance of stars and galaxies, we find ourselves embarking on another year of enchantment and wonder. Though a tad late, our wishes for you are timeless, like the endless expanse of the universe.

We are eager to unfold a year of enchantment, of weaving tales that sparkle with wonder, bringing a dash of the extraordinary to your everyday.

Yet, in the spirit of mirth and light-heartedness that even the most serious wizard must acknowledge, we tip our hats to the oft-forgotten New Year resolutions. Ah, those well-intentioned spells we cast upon ourselves, only to find them unravelled by the second moon of the year!

Fear not, for we shall not promise you moonlit flights or the secrets of the wind by mere words. Instead, we shall endeavour to bring a sparkle of magic into your daily scroll, a touch of wonder amidst the mundane, and perhaps, just perhaps, a glimpse of the mysteries that lie just beyond the edge of the map.

So, raise your goblets, scrolls, or whatever tools of magic you possess. Here's to a year of enchanting adventures and stories yet to be told. May your paths be lit by starlight and your hearts filled with the joy of discovery.

With mystical greetings,
Wizard Wonders 🧙

To our beloved community of stargazers 🌠, dreamers 🌌, and seekers 🔭,

Change, as we often observe in the vast cosmos, is inevitable. It's a natural process that allows for growth 🌱, new perspectives, and broader understandings. Today, after much deliberation and with a longer-term view of the channel, we embrace such a change as we evolve our channel's identity from ‘Gandalf Wonders’ to 'Wizard Wonders'.

From the inception of our channel, the perspective of a wise, enigmatic wizard 🧙‍♂️ has been our guide, illuminating our path as we navigate the fascinating dichotomy of fantastical worlds and the profound intricacies of cosmology. And while the name and visage of our guiding wizard may evolve, the essence of our journey remains unaltered. We will continue to traverse the universe and the wonders of fantasy through the eyes of a wizard, delving into the big questions that tickle our curiosity. 💭

This change underscores a crucial sentiment: we are in no way associated with or represent the views of Middle-earth Enterprises, Ian McKellen, J. R. R. Tolkien, Tolkien Estate, Amazon or the LOTR franchise. Our narratives, while inspired by various sources, are uniquely our own. They are the product of our collective imagination, research, and passion. Our tales, musings, and explorations are an expression of our individuality and to fostering a space where fantasy, science & philosophy dance harmoniously. 🪐

Our small little channel has always been about recapturing our childlike wonder 🌟 - those moments when you’d get lost in a tale of dragons and wizards or when you'd lie on the grass, looking up, pondering the vastness of the universe and our own place in it. 'Wizard Wonders' will encapsulate this essence, serving as a beacon for all those who wish to explore both the outer and inner universes.

While our name evolves, our mission remains the same. We will continue to be that bridge between the imaginative landscapes of fantasy, the mind-bending wonders of theoretical physics and the philosophy governing our own lives. Our aim? To kindle that curiosity, to stoke the fires of wonder, and to invite you into a dance between what is and what could be. ✨

As we embark on this refreshed journey, you may notice some cosmetic changes across our digital presence. Over the coming days and weeks, we will be updating our channel links, profile pictures, thumbnails, and other visuals across our social media channels. Bear with us during this period of transformation, as these designs may not be their final versions and might continue to evolve. This is all part of our journey into refining and enhancing the 'Wizard Wonders' identity. 🔄

We are profoundly grateful 🙏 for the camaraderie you've extended to us thus far. Your feedback, enthusiasm, and shared wonder have been the wind beneath our wings. As we embark on this new chapter, we reaffirm our commitment to inspiring awe, wonder, and introspection, deepening our exploration of the realm of imagination, our inner selves, and the universe. 🌍

With heartfelt gratitude and boundless excitement for the wonderings ahead,
Wizard Wonders 🧙‍♂️

In the cosmic canvas between Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt spins an enchanting tale. Each asteroid, a relic of antiquity, echoes of a world unborn. As though touched by an elven smith, it shimmers, an ethereal chain of cosmic jewels dancing to the sun's silent sonnet.

In the great silence of the cosmos, these fragments waltz in unison yet solitude, an orchestra of celestial stones. Their stories scribed in dust and rock are as old as time itself, whispered secrets from the cradle of creation.

From our earthly hearth, we gaze at the night, drawn to the luminous bodies adorning the cosmos, often overlooking the quiet spectacle of the Asteroid Belt. Yet, within its unassuming grandeur, a chronicle of creation unfurls, a story etched in time and space. Each turn, each sparkle, an unwritten chapter in the cosmic storybook, a silent song hummed by the universe's heart.

A wizard weaves a tale of the Great Colours – a poetic reference to the traditional primary colours of Red, Blue, and Yellow (the RYB system) and the subsequent colours that flow from them. We are aware there are other models of colours such as RGB and CMYK – these have deliberately not been covered for the sake of simplicity.

As you journey through this narrative, discover how these colours are more than just visual elements, but rather reflections of our shared human experiences, emotions, and connections. They represent the language of the heart, the poetry of light that speaks of life's joys and sorrows, triumphs and defeats.

Immerse yourself in this vibrant world of colours and explore their power to inspire, move, and transform us. Perceive the world through a lens of positivity, focusing on the beauty, hope, and possibilities that the colours of life have to offer. This video serves as a reminder that the hues we see and feel in our hearts can shape our perspectives and empower us to paint our world with love, courage, resilience, laughter, joy, and dreams.
