About What If
An epic exploration of possibilities. Join Peter and explore science-based hypothetical worlds across space, technology, Earth, and prehistoric history. Each episode begins with a simple “what if” question and follows real scientific theory, physics, biology, and astronomy to see where those ideas could lead. Travel from deep space and alien planets to future technology and ancient life on Earth, and discover how small changes in science or history could reshape life, civilization, and the universe. It’s a blend of science education, imagination, and real research that helps you see our world, and the cosmos, from a fresh perspective.
How to read What If's numbers
Average views per video (1,048,562). This spreads lifetime views across every public upload, so older uploads that have had years to accumulate views are averaged together with recent ones. It is a useful scale check, not a prediction of how the next video will perform.
Views per subscriber (195.6). A rough measure of how much watch demand each subscriber represents over the channel's lifetime. Channels that reach large non-subscribed audiences — through search, Shorts or recommendations — tend to show a higher figure than channels that rely mainly on their existing subscriber base.
Upload cadence (~17.2 per month). Averaged across the channel's full history of about 8.1 years, so a channel that changed format or publishing pace along the way will not match this figure in any single recent month.
All figures come from public YouTube channel data and are refreshed on a schedule. They are research signals for comparison and context — they are not private YouTube Studio analytics, and they do not include revenue, watch time or audience retention. Read the full methodology.
