I've watched it on a 48" screen and although it looked quite nice indeed it left something to be desired... I bet that 4K on a 48" screen (or larger) would do it justice!

I love marine biology, particularly the study of sharks. The ocean and its denizens are a big passion of mine. I minored in marine biology when I was in college and have traveled to South Australia twice and Nothern California once to observe great whites. When my wife and I retire, I might make it three!

I believe the smallest practical screen size in 4K display monitors will be at least 58".
Anything smaller than that would offer no benefit whatsoever over current bog-standard display monitors.

Love the video! And...It's nice to hear from you. Been time traveling somewhere? ;)
"But since time slows down aboard the starship, according to Einstein's special theory of relativity, the crew could reach the Pleiades star-cluster (M45), which is 400 light-years away, in as little as eleven years, by the clocks aboard the starship. After 25 shipboard years, such a ship could even reach the Great Andromeda Galaxy - although over 2 million years would have passed on the earth.
Wormholes were first introduced to the public over a century ago in a book written by an Oxford mathematician. Perhaps realizing that adults might frown on the idea of multiply connected spaces, he wrote the book under a pseudonym and wrote it for children. His name was Charles Dodgson, his pseudonym was Lewis Carroll, and the book was Through The Looking Glass."
— Michio Kaku, Visions It's also fascinating to imagine Johannes Kepler writing one of the first Science Fiction books "Somnium".
Here's a cool video on Andromeda and our other neighbors:
