  3. I used to work at lowes. Our forklift forks were often dragged on concrete in outside garden such that the ends of them become razor sharp over the years. One time somebody left the fork up, and as I walked around an isle corner, my arm brushed along it. I didn't even realize until I had blood everywhere, because the cut was so clean. Immediately went to the adhesives isle, grabbed some super glue, and glued the wound shut instead of getting stitches. It healed perfectly.

  4. When your online argument with random people is so heated you ended up building a vehicle that seems to defy logic....

  5. It is so cool that the company showed you - idk how much - twelve? different reactions. Indoors, outdoors, in a veritasium logo, slow, fast, higher and lower temperature... A big thank you to this company!

  6. Respect for admiting to some mistakes. It's refreshing to see someone both rationally defend their side and also admit to some mistakes and fix said mistakes.

  7. Just from that thumbnail, I can already feel the pain of trying to remove super glue from your fingers

  9. I have seen SO MANY Earhart documentaries over the years. I have never seen one that painted so clear a picture of what went wrong. Fantastic job.

  14. Damn the explanation with the two sailboats was amazing.
    10000
  15. Everything else aside, your explanation of semiconductors & the stadium seats synergy made this complex topic so easy to understand. I hope they show this in schools.

  16. One of the rare videos that should literally be watched by everyone.

  17. Your “non-science” videos are just as wonderful as the rest. Thanks for the peek into the personal.

  18. "ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE" still gives me the chills.

  24. Data removal levels: 1. Delete my data. 2. Delete my recycle bin. 3. Break hard drive. 4. It can't be data if it's liquid.

  26. I’m an optometrist and this is probably the best animation/display on optics I’ve ever seen. I wish they taught in schools like this. Simply incredible work 👏

  27. It's an amazing coincidence that the event horizon acts as a kind of "black shield", shielding the events inside from the outside world, and "black shield" is literally what "Schwarzschild" means in german.

  28. It's truly an Eureka moment when all the things just came out to be F=ma

  29. The FAA has been dragging their feet on approving unleaded aviation fuel for years even though a fleet-wide replacement (G100UL) has passed all of the necessary certification tests multiple times. Naturally, approving it would create economic winners and losers, so I guess that's the holdup?

  30. Hey Derek, i don't know who that guy is, but invite him as much as possible

  31. Telling Patterson's story in parallel with Midgley's is such a good choice, really shows that the side effects of leaded gasoline were not something unknown to the generation that implemented it. they just valued easy profit over human life. Though one thing that irks me about the way that science history (and most history for that matter) is presented by stories like these is showing Patterson alone on a boat or in the arctic gathering samples. Scientists work in teams and the research credited to Midgley or Patterson is not the work of one man but a whole bunch and the people who support them.

  32. This is a level of automaton that victorian makers could only dream of, and no advanced components either! This man is a modern day Da Vinci for sure.

  33. This was a fascinating insight into the origins of the mathematics that's so familiar. Wonderful. Thanks Derek!

  34. I really can't overstate how appreciative I am of these science history videos. It's easy in the STEM fields to forget the history soaked into the ideas we take for granted every day. I would like if Math classes gave a little glimpse into this - especially in primary schools. Maybe more kids would appreciate the importance of math and "when we would ever need this in real life".

  35. 5:07 - Typical Physics teacher. "Let's approximate this bird as a cube"

  36. Man, change "depressed quadratic" to an obscure magic spell and you literally get a fantasy duel story, complete with a sage old mentor, an underdog protagonist, an enchantment and a boastful proud villain wtf

  37. 1:28 Of course "Fred Joyner" was involved in developing an adhesive for joining things!

  38. One thing I adore about these videos is that they bring attention to history's forgotten heroes. Nakamura wasn't given the credit he deserved for the blue LED, and that video brought his contributions into the spotlight for millions. Now, Maupertuis has been given the spotlight and he can be recognized for his efforts alongside some of history's greatest mathematicians. If only he lived long enough to see this.

  39. You’ve always been a gigantic inspiration to me. I owe a lot to you and the other Edutubers who paved a little bit of the way for us. I’m glad for your growing family too, though, because Aunt Dianna needs some test subjects...

  40. It feels like so many discoveries simultaneously make the world better and scarier

  42. I remember the day the alphafold 2 paper was published, my structural biology teachers were joking around saying like "we're out of a job now". Also, after a little while, we actually started using it in classes, it was impressive to see this fast of an adoption into the curriculum ! It actually felt like we lived through one of the big discoveries of our lifetimes.

  43. 37 and 73 being the 12th and 21st prime numbers is satisfying.

  44. This video was a roller coaster. I wasn't a believer, then I was a believer, and now I'm not again.

  46. Being wrong is painful, accepting that you’re wrong takes courage. Bet or no bet, I admire the professor and veritasium

  47. I used to work at the company that produces the microscope used in this video. I remember the day that I was approached by a quality engineer working on a brand new machine, and asked "Do you want to see atoms on TEM(the type of the microscope)". He was quite happy to show me a similar image to the one at 0:41 . He explained how the calibration must be successful for an atom to be observable, and he sounded proud of the outcome, carried on to tell me the stories of each machine on production line at that moment. To him, each of these devices was something akin to a musical instruments, made and tuned by hand, and hence, unique.

  48. Fantastic revisit! The animations and the simulations were spot-on, and great at showing the difference between the transient “first-second” effect, and the steady-state “rest of time” behavior. The whole “expanding loop of current” thing is a great way to phrase it, because after that poynting loop expands to match the actual physical loop of wire, then stuff starts to behave normally and all of the power is transmitted around the loop very close to the wire. I still hold that for this simple circuit, turning on a lightbulb with wires much smaller around than they are long, the effect of surface charge vs internal charge is negligible, so you can ignore any skin-effect stuff and say that “mobile” electrons are indeed pushing on other “mobile” electrons using their fields, but I totally agree that that’s a simplification, just a simplification that makes the intuition a lot easier. I also need to do some math about how far the average “electron” is displaced in order to build the initial charge distribution around some typical circuit elements - axial flow is the only way I understand those charge distributions getting built, and this whole endeavor has made me think hard about what that means. Someday when I think I understand it better I’ll edit up my pt.2 response video - thanks for the shoutout! I’ve got a great experiment in the works to show the “expanding poynting loop” 😁

  49. Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests are the perfect fusion of art, engineering, and evolution—it’s like watching nature reinvent itself through human creativity. The fact that these structures ‘walk’ with such elegance makes me wonder: are we looking at the blueprint for future bio-inspired robotics? Absolutely mind-blowing! Kudos to Veritasium for making a video about this masterpiece!

  50. Those drone shots were epic!
